Oof

There's one like that in every family...

Shucks, I can't afford it cos it's has a floor

The "poor" pyramid workers as well as the later tomb architects had communal housing, free food and entertainment, socialised healthcare... What they did NOT have is money, as Egypt did not introduce money until the arrival of the Greeks. Before that, they had some kind of standardised barter economy with partly fixed exchange rates, like "three loafs of bread equal one pair of sandals" and so on - quite an interesting system, actually. They were mostly paid in bread and beer. The former could be exchanged against other goods and services.

But would you use eclesiastical latin or classical latin?

I wanna be like this when I lose

Sadly being a woman still means you're screwed in most non-western societies. Even in western ones you're worse off being female...

Which Roman Empire? These are technically all correct: 1943 was the surrender of Italy in WW2 followed by Rome's occupation by Nazi Germany, 476 was the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, 1806 was the Dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire, 1453 was the Fall of Constantinople and fall of the Byzantine Empire.

Yeah, and that's 2 kind of slavery completely different. It's like comparing the roman slavery to the viking one. They are both horrible but it's stupid to try and compare them to say "this one is better".

History don't lie

Poop party

Thanks, France 🇩🇪👍

Jokes on you, I’m from a European country where the only colonial history we have is being colonized and genocide! Therefore I’m perfectly entitled to looking like this. (Second sentence was a joke jtc) (edit; It’s Ireland)

I think probably both are true.

I'd have gone as far as most baby turtles at the beach 😅

Relationship goals.

An old joke from SE Europe was that when you finished talking to someone on the phone, you'd hear two clicks - the first when the person you talked to hangs up, and the second - when the secret police hangs up :O

It’s awful that they’re only just now getting recognition after years. Heart breaking the treatment they received when they returned home

But it's Ananas in German!

For some reason yo are missing the middle of the speech "Sincere regard for truth is loyalty and disregard for truth is treachery. The weak amongst you shall be strong with me until I have secured his rights, if God wills; and the strong amongst you shall be weak with me until I have wrested from him the rights of others, if God wills." He was in power for 2 years and had multiple uprising and rebellions, plus started multiple wars.

While in the 1500s the Church formally stopped prosecuting witchcraft, the just changed the name swapping "withcraft" for "demon possession" or "heretic". Nevertheless the Catholic church did plenty of prosecuting of free thinkers, ill or generally innocent people in the thousands.

In fairness, the Falklands held a sovereignty referendum in 2013 and 98% voted to stay with Britain PLUS Argentina was a rainforest when the Brits first occupied it so they really have zero claim simply because it's closer to them than us.

Seems most societies are build on blood...

Ik this not related but like the square eyebrows on society 😂

It must be all the dancing and singing #bollywood

Sabaton fans can have tank driving Vikings

If building walls is the key to success I'll start right now *builds a wall around my home*

They all should have been locked in a concrete tomb and dropped into the Mariana Trench. And even then, they would still have polluted the waters.

If they were anything like my Sims they wouldn't even have needed sticks or stones... 🔥

Apparently the best rendering of Xerxes' Persian name in IPA is Xšayār̥šā and "Achaemenid" should be rendered Haxāmaniš. Pronounce X as "kh", š as "sh", ā as "ah", and the r with the ring under it as a trill.

Magic Stave!

😔😣😧

Dark, but funny!

Still a terrible atrocity...

China makes a lot of claims for inventions, but not many of them are factually accurate. Claiming historical innovations has been a habit of the post-Mao Chinese autocracy, and is considered a way to foster nationalism and patriotism. They do not refrain from outright lying or making up "history" as it suits them. There are a credibility issues with those claims, and many inconsistencies, issues that even pro-sino historians feel the need to address but the chinese government plainly ignores in favor of propaganda. https://www.economist.com/china/2016/12/20/what-china-claims-to-have-invented

It was very depressing indeed when people complained that "Twelve Years A Slave" was too over-the-top unrealistically grim only to be told that in reality IT WAS ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE WORSE AND THE MOVIE ACTUALLY TONED IT DOWN.

The Dutch do love us. Canada liberated the Netherlands. We also gave future Queen Juliana and her family refuge during WWII. She gave birth in a Canadian hospital, which was declared neutral soil, so her child could have Dutch citizenship and not Canadian. They still send us 10,000 tulip bulbs each year. Dutch children also clean the tombs of Canadian soldiers and put candle around them.

Zeus will absolutely f**k up your life especially in conjunction with Hera. janus or hecate are all about choices, so are normal, aphrodite is ok, as long as you re-pay her. Artemis is relatively safe, to the point where you can see her bathing and survive, as long as you are female or young. Thanatos and Hades are inevitable, nemesis and tyche are omnipresent, and the nature gods, potamus, winds, and nymphs are common to meet. Dionysus is positively fun. apollo is okay, as long as you haven't insulted his mother. lots of the minor deities are friendly, the titans are tyrants, gaia is the mother of all tyrants. I think hestia and hephaestus are okay, but still gods, so don't risk too much. on the other hand, Loki is slippery, and Thor will kill you if you break his goats, but otherwise they are okay. It's the animals you have to watch out for.

And, did it work? Edit: It did, and it is written in the heading.... Note to myself: Read more carefully next time :-)

Come out ye black and tans, come out and fight me like a man

How is this history

This conflict is soooo complex and each attempt to solve it from the outside just make it worst .......and from the inside ? ...... Let's just say that the death threats from Egypt on a population who just escaped extermination DIDN'T help at ALL and left a ssslightly bad impression that remains until today

Did they ... did they blur his...moustache???

It didn't help that Hannibal elephants were almost all lost well before arriving to the Roman Empire core, mostly dying from Barbarian attacks in the Rhone Valley en route to Italy, in the crossing of the Alps and in the first cold winter of Northern Italy. In the same way, half the expeditionary force was lost in transit. Hannibal, by the way, was not the "greatest military genius of his time". He was a last minute replacement of his brother Hasdrubales, the Carthaginian general who set up the whole campaign and invasion, who got killed mid-way while camping in Spain.

In case you are wondering, every man above the age of 14 was murdered in Paraguay when they lost the war.

It is either Allah or Inshallah, and is very much true. The dating is indeed correct for trade between the Vikings and the Abbasaid Caliphate. Who she was or the significance of the ring is unknown - whether she was a Scandinavian Muslim or a Middle Eastern visitor is also unknown.

In 7 years... They just killed everyone right...
