40 Historical Events That Are So Interesting People Read And Look Up Everything They Can About Them

I think back then they percieved Native Americans as horrible people. The natives were just trying to protect was was rightfully theirs .

No we don't. Quit generalizing and speculating about what us non-MAGA USans think. MAGA is not the majority.

No.

WTF is USan? Something you made up? We're Americans whether you like it or not.

Amerindians were fighting between themselves the same way the Greek cities-states were fighting each other, the same way the Chinese warring states or the European countries or South American countries and so on. Therefore do not use the Amerindian wars as excuse to justify the m******e done by the whites.

Yeah, we know.

Additionally, I know someone from when they closed the last residential school. They apparently kept quiet about them until the last one

One thing to keep in mind (a point raised in Marc van de Mieroop's History of the Ancient Near East) is that while we call it a collapse, that's biased on the decline of the strong centralized territorial states which were the source of much of our written material from then. The written record doesn't pick up in earnest again until later in the 1st millennium BC, particularly with the rise of Assyria. So sure, things were rough for them, but there's a whole world of people outside the palaces and temples and they experienced a period of innovation with the proliferation of alphabetic scripts and improvements in iron working. And while quite a few cities were destroyed during this time the damage is strangely selective with many also surviving unscathed. Even the famous example of Hattusa (which Ramses' Sea Peoples inscription refers to as being destroyed) seems to have only had selective damage to its administrative and palace buildings which were, interestingly, already abandoned.

1177 the year civilization ended was a good one! there is a lot more study into the collapse of the bronze age with a lot more looking into things like weather and natural events like volcanic eruptions and earth quakes. I think for the longest time historians only focused on human intervention and causes that could explain the decline. once they started realizing it was almost like a comorbidity where there were many contributing factors thats when they really started to figure it out. I think they have come to some great conclusions now, and while there were some Sea people involved they were not the boogie men they were once thought to be.

And none of that "climate change" was man made. Just like today.

It was Ariel’s fault 😂 she just couldn’t leave that d**n Prince alone

He did try though. The oldest refused to go and the other three (along with the Tsarevich) were denied safety in England by his own cousin. They were also denied safety in Denmark by his mother's family

I had never seen my dad so absolutely mad at me when I was talking, joking and the radio news were on and he told me to be quiet. Also, my parents were very relieved that it had not rained for days in our town, when my little brother had spent hours in the sandbox every day. A German novelist for realistic, rather dystopic youth literature wrote a book describing the consequences of a similar catastrophe in Germany. She chose the nuclear power plant closest to where I lived, which was also not far from the FRG-GDR border. Boy, when the constant imminent threat of war gone in the 1990s I sure did believe the world was becoming a better place. Silly naive me, and the waste from all the nuclear plants will still be radiating for a long, long time.

The communists in my country were conspicuously eating strawberries imported from the area, to prove that the disaster was just capitalist propaganda and nothing actually happened.

On the positive side, it's my friend's birthday on Jan 6 (poor timing of the event) so I could tell him they made his birthday a national holiday. (I'm Canadian)

Trump is a fàscist. He wants a $100 million dollars military parade for his birthday.

hahaha! You're so wrong.

I've been describing the US (and I live here) as a 13 year old boy with feral hormones for a good 20+ years now. We're a mess over here.

Actually, most of the people who started fires turned out to be white supremacists and anarchists who were caught and prosecuted. Look it up.

So the police officer who died from the injuries inflicted on him by the rioters is "not hurting anyone"? Interesting take, but ok. Deflecting the conversation to talk about unrelated events doesn't mitigate what happened on Jan 6th. But ok, you do you boo.

Four Oath Keepers were charged and convicted of seditious conspiracy.

And they are still dusting of the remains.

Why is that crazier than any other religion? Virgin birth, riding a flying horse, global flood, aliens? Name the religion and there will be clues.

If you go back to the earlier writings, the plates were handed to Smith by a magic cricket. That cricket has been silent for at least 50 years. "We don't want to sound crazy..."

When South Park has to put a disclaimer saying this is what they really believe we're not making this up. Maybe things are a little bit off.

I didn't pay attention or realize how 'out there' the Mormon religion was until I watched South Park. That led me down the rabbit hole of Mormonism. It's definitely out there and I'm totally mystified how someone could believe that!

Don't let Moroni hear you say that.

Brass. Brass plates. Calling them "gold" plates is traced to people outside the religion who are trying to disprove it. I'm not even a Mormon myself, but come on, let's at least get the terminology right.
