Say what you will about Germany's colonial empire but it seems to be the only one that instilled any kind of cultural aversion to being a public nuisance in its former subjects if even a hundred years later Rwanda and Namibia don't slam on their horns like it's echolocation Botswana, presumably, isn't densely populated enough for this to even be an issue

Internet atheism has been waging an endless war against an infinitesimally small group of fundamentalists who don't even use the internet A bit before the election I was reading an explicitly liberal subreddit (guilty pleasure) and their big plan to turn rwers away from wanting voter ID was to frame it as the "mark of the beast"

If they knew a single person who might be swayed by that, they'd know they don't vote!

Lichtman's keys, Nate Silver's model, and Selzer's "best polling in the business" beat out by Moo Deng and a million coin flips I hope polling punditry is completely dead from now on. It's just a bunch of nonsense

No they swapped out the sun a few years ago. It used to be yellow and now it's white. Alexander saw the warm, life-affirming glow of Helios; you see a shrill fluorescent lightbulb in the sky I say "they" but truly I don't know who's responsible for this. Perhaps it was the snuffing out of the last residual majesty of the antediluvian world, the Unconquered Sol at last replaced with an unremarkable white star

Retarded on the same scale as the "HOLE LEFT BY THE DARK AGES" chart. The Library of Alexandria got its income by having scribes copy its books for rich people. Everything was written on papyrus (which has a very short shelf life in damp climates) and had to be constantly copied There was probably very little that existed exclusively on its shelves

Unique among divine names in the OT is "God of Heaven," almost exclusively uttered in Persian contexts. If the correspondences in Chron/Ezra are genuine, it may demonstrate that Achaemenid officials believed—or were led to believe—that Ahura Mazda and Jehovah were one in the same This phrase also appears in Daniel, another book taking place during Persian rule, and in Jonah, who preached in Nineveh

Years ago my history professor in university theorized that the version of Beowulf we have today might be a cultural remnant of Arianism among the Germanic peoples because of its scant (if any) references to Jesus while still having a monotheistic Christian worldview The original story is probably a fair bit older (and pagan) but the surviving manuscript is a fossilized version from the migration period, so to speak

It's been years since I did a Railroad playthrough but I remember during your initiation ceremony you're asked "Would you give your life for ANY synth?" and I thought that was either terrible writing or these people were well and truly insane It's not just synth equality, that's advocating for synth supremacy. That a human life is worth less than a synth's and it's therefore justifiable to sacrifice oneself for any random synth no matter who they are or what they're doing. Ridiculous faction

wildly underestimated by the youtube rec algo Image truthfully I wish I hadn't heard about it because the closest thing I've had to scrupulosity is the nagging feeling that not only is the Hebrew *wrong* in some places but intentionally so, and anyone reading a straight translation of it is being misled

I think the ancient river is a bigger deal than the Richat Structure (and archaeologists agree with me). I know it's a natural phenomenon but I believe it's unique enough that it was associated with the civilization even thousands of years later
Image Things I believe about Atlantis:
-Civilization centred around the Tamanrasset River in prehistory
-Asserted some level of hegemony over North Africa and the Mediterranean
-Progenitors of the Afro-Asiatic language family
-Wiped out in a (localized) flood

Place-names in Iceland and the Faroe Islands which may point to pre-Norse Irish settlement.

The Íslendingabók and Færeyinga Saga references to "Papars" and "Westmen" post-date Norse colonization by several centuries. However, "an earlier source that could possibly refer to the Papar is the work of Dicuil, an early 9th-century Irish monk and geographer, which included mention of the wandering of "holy men" to the lands of the north."Image

In this thread I'll be reposting and in some cases summarizing vinlandinthegulf's arguments for the location of Hvitramannaland and pre-Columbian Irish settlement in North America

To start; the Vinland Sagas make several references to a pre-existing Irish settlement near Vinland Image Called "White Man's Land" or "Great Ireland," It was located six days away from Vinland by sail. If we take the L'anse-aux-Meadows settlement as being "Vinland," that puts it somewhere within the Gulf of St. Lawrence, in the vicinity of the Canadian Maritimes and East Quebec

In 1364, eight men arrived in Norway from the Arctic claiming to be fifth-generation descendants of colonists sent there by King Arthur. Apparently four years prior an Englishman from Oxford visited their land, these accounts are how Mercator decided to depict the Arctic
Image
Image 5 generations is probably around ~100 years so we can safely discount the King Arthur we know as having been the patron for their expedition. This date would be a lot closer to prince Madoc's supposed voyage to the Americas, Welsh being the connection between Madoc and Arthur Image

Weirdest looking guy ever becomes Pharaoh, says there's only one God, and upon his death his capital is immediately abandoned and he's stricken from the historical record for 3,200 years

Image Akhenaten has to be one of the strangest men in history. Stranger still is that around the time of his death the unique Levite/Kohenim yDNA haplogroup was introduced into the Israelite population and that the Levites in Exodus have Egyptian names. Oh well, must be a coincidence Image

We're rapidly approaching a theory-of-everything for Canada, where the 2nd most powerful politician in the country is the granddaughter for Bandera's propagandist and the 3rd is almost certainly a Khalistan supporter: Canada is a refuge for the world's most radicalized diaspora It had never occurred to me until now but it seems so blatantly obvious in retrospect. Some of the most foundational waves of early migration were exceptionally loyalist men from the 13 colonies and radical protestant Orangemen

Hyperborea is literally real by the way. Not even as an abstract concept, it actually existed. Ice Age Siberia was home to the ancestral forebears of the Indo-European, Altaic, and Amerindian peoples

This letter exists in secular sources too (if you consider Josephus' histories secular anyway) and a growing majority of scholars think it's probably authentic. There has been extensive study into trying to figure out what the hell king Areus was talking about, and this bizarre connection between the Spartans and Jews was mentioned again by a later high priest a couple decades later

Image Reading 1 Maccabees isn't a particularly edifying experience but I can appreciate how weird that wacky little era was when the kingdom of Judaea was allied with both the Spartans and the Romans

Suppose another ancient river, one only recently discovered, was also host to a civilization. Possibly one older than all the rest, concealed under millennia of sand, in a place now known as the Atlas Plateau
Image Perhaps it was the originator of a language family whose homeland has been notoriously difficult to find, a language family which began to diverge thousands of years before any other we can reasonably reconstruct, splintering into daughter tongues around 10,000 BC Image

There were two races of men encountered by the Atlantean colonists in the Americas. The ones we know of as Native Americans were called the Hairless Men, and another race, quite a bit taller, were variably called "the Hairy Men" (in contrast with the natives) or "Giants"

Image
Image The two races did not interact with one another often. The hairy men eschewed tools, clothing, and even fire. The hairless men had a healthy fear of their mysterious neighbours, often refusing to mine for their Atlantean "benefactors" when they suspected one nearby
