This replacement really only happened in peripheral Europe (Britain, Spain and Scandinavia etc which btw, in Scandinavia's case, included a Native I1 non-steppe group replacing other I2 native groups). Take the Unetice for example, 80% Corded Ware Autosomally yet plurality EEF paternally (DDP/Yamnaya/Steppe I-L699 is absent practically btw). Unetice being the most prominent post steppe culture which can be tied into various modern european peoples btw, carrying ancestral clades. The biggest post steppe group in Europe was paternally EEF. European Autosomal Steppe levels are truly massive too. Far surpassing other regions in the world, it is only natural it has more Steppe Y dna too, but as I explained it wasn't 100% more like 66% Steppe replacement which is not that overrepresented in an average of 40% WSH or 50-60% Corded Ware dna of the average European.No titleWhy did no empires from Persians , Romans , Arabs and up until 1800s never conquer this area of try to control it? Seems weird that is full of illiterate nomads and African tribes how did they never get conquered or wiped out
Plus why wasnt a city founded here it lies in one of most geo strategic locations in world and couldve been a major city state so why is there little to footnotes about it in history

THE ROMAN EMPIRE!No titleI'm reading a book on Tibetan history and they seem pretty metal and underrated, like a less pretentious china. I recommend Sam Van Shaik.No titleWith Nero's demise, Rome experienced in 68 the "Year of Three Emperors." Servius Sulpicius Galba reached the capital in June. Aged 70, he was born to a family that had been prominent for two centuries; four relatives had served as consul. Galba looked his age, bald and with bent hands and feet. His reign lasted seven months for the fact that he was strict with justice and stingy with the public purse; he disbanded the Germanian legions and neglected to pay those soldiers who had fought against Julius Vindex. Galba also demanded that all citizens who had received handouts or pensions from Nero repay them through taxes.
A broke 36 year old Senator named Marcus Otho announced that he could only pay his debts by becoming emperor. The Praetorian Guard backed him, marched into the Forum on January 15, 69, and saw Galba riding in a litter. They cut him down and presented his severed head to Otho. The Senate hastily proclaimed him emperor as the armies in Germany and Egypt were attempting to make their own commanders Aulus Vitellius and Titus Vespasianus emperor. Otho quickly realized that he was in over his head as emperor and after reading Galba's personal papers realized the extent of the conspiracy taking place. Vitellius invaded Italy and Otho prepared for war. He had on his side the legions of Dalmatia, Pannonia, and Moesia as well as the Praetorians and the navy, which was sent out to secure Liguria. On March 14, Otho led his troops north in the hope of blocking Vitellius from entering Italy.No title>Theyll come and rape your women Why historicaly did government use this excuse to make Young men attack other men? Why doesnt it work on incels?Why has no other nationalism been as successful as Arab nationalism?Arab nationalism is the reason a Palestinian stands in the destruction of his former school and cries out "Oh Arabs Oh Arabs where are you!". Notice how he only calls out for other Arabs. He isn't calling out for Americans or Europeans. This is because it is taken for granted and simply assumed that ALL Arabs help other Arabs and have a committed interest to rectifying the affairs of other Arabs. Arabs look to other Arabs first and foremost for help. This doesn't happen elsewhere. No white nationalist from America assumes that another white nationalist from Croatia will come to his aid. White nationalists are strangers to each other.
We even have the "Arab League" still going strong. Do we have an Anglo league? or a Latin American league? or a Black-cooperation league? Nope.
Every Arabic speaker views himself as the brother of another Arabic speaker. This is why all Algerians are seen as interchangable with Saudis. All Syrians are seen as interchangable with Iraqis. All Egyptians are viewed as the same as Emiratis, all Moroccans are the brothers of the Ahwazis, and on and on. Despite being miles apart all Arabic speakers are viewed as one long connection to each other and affairs are spoken of as one - "Arab politics", "Arab world", etc. Now try to find something similar in the English speaking world. I doubt any Australian cares about what Americans are doing, i doubt any Canadian concerns himself with what's happening in the Parliament of Britain.
White nationalists cannot even agree on who is white or not. Some include the Spanish, others reject the Irish, others praise the Italians, others say the Greeks are Turks, and on and on. It's a similar story in European nationalism, black nationalism, etc. In the Arabic speaking world, if you speak Arabic you're an Arab whether you're as black as coal or as white as milk. No nationalism has remained as relevant as Arab nationalism.No titleThe Septuagint is an inspired translation.Expert says no JFK Death Conspiracy>At no point since the assassination have a majority of Americans believed the truth: that Oswald was a lone gunman. >Conspiracies exist. But they require evidence. Otherwise, they're conspiracy theories. And a country that falls for conspiracy theories without any supporting evidence is a country ripe for the plucking by demagogues on all sides.
Is there any evidence that the government's account of the JFK assassination is it 100% accurate? Noted JFK assassination expert Benjamin 'Mossad' Shapiro says NO.Thoughts?As to the passages you [the iconoclasts] adduce [from the ante-nicene fathers], they abominate not the honor paid to our Images, but that of the Greeks, who made them gods. It needs not therefore, because of the absurd use of the Greeks, to abolish our use which is so pious. Enchanters and wizards use adjurations, so does the Church over its Catechumens; but they invoke devils, and she invokes God against devils. Greeks dedicate images to devils, and call them gods; but we to True God Incarnate, and to God's servants and friends, who drive away the troops of devils. As the holy Fathers overthrew the temples and shrines of the devils, and raised in their places shrines in the names of Saints and we honor them, so also they overthrew the images of the devils, and in their stead raised images of Christ, and God’s Mother, and the Saints. And under the Old Covenant, Israel neither raised temples in the name of men, nor was memory of man made a festival; for, as yet, man's nature was under a curse, and death was condemnation, and therefore was lamented, and a corpse was reckoned unclean and he who touched it; but now that the Godhead has been combined with our nature, as some life-giving and saving medicine, our nature has been glorified and is trans-elemented into incorruption. Wherefore the death of Saints is made a feast, and temples are raised to them, and Images are painted. For the Image is a triumph, and a manifestation, and a monument in memory of the victory of those who have done nobly and excelled, and of the shame of the devils defeated and overthrown...

If you want proof of this watch any video from John Fontain, Hamza, Joseph Estes, Jake, etc all of them speak with extreme disgust towards Christianity.
They speak to Christians with particular harshness and distain that they do not speak to Hindus, Jews, Atheists etc with. You never hear them say anything nice about their Christian experience growing up or compliment anything in the Bible - even the parts that agree with Islam, it's just all pure harshness and disdain and putting down of the Bible.

MacDonald cites the origin of this identification to 1913 when J. Rendel Harris published his work Boanerges, a Greek version probably of an Aramaic name meaning "Sons of Thunder", thunder being associated with Zeus, father of Pollux, in what MacDonald calls a form of early Christian Dioscurism.
The Etruscans venerated the twins as Kastur and Pultuce, collectively as the tinas cliniiaras, "Sons of Tinia", Etruscan counterpart of Zeus. They were often portrayed on Etruscan mirrors. As was the fashion in Greece, they could also be portrayed symbolically; one example is seen in the Tomb of the Funereal Bed at Tarquinia where a lectisternium is painted for them. Another is symbolised in a painting depicted as two pointed caps crowned with laurel, referring to the Phrygian capsNo titleWas it really 6million?No titleWe now have technology capable of predicting intelligence by simply scanning genomes of different populations in a computer program.

He would point out young women that he wanted to be taken to his dacha, where wine and a feast awaited them. After dining, Beria would take the women into his soundproofed office and rape them.
>Women also submitted to Beria's sexual advances in exchange for the promise of freedom for imprisoned relatives. In one case, Beria picked up Tatiana Okunevskaya, a well-known Soviet actress, under the pretence of bringing her to perform for the Politburo. Instead he took her to his dacha, where he offered to free her father and grandmother from prison if she submitted. He then raped her, telling her, "Scream or not, it doesn't matter". In fact, Beria knew that Okunevskaya's relatives had been executed months earlier. Okunevskaya was arrested shortly afterwards and sentenced to solitary confinement in the gulag.
>According to Martin Sixsmith, in a BBC documentary, "Beria spent his nights having teenagers abducted from the streets and brought here for him to rape.

They were legally the continuous uninterrupted Roman Empire, the same state that Augustus ruled over.
This shouldn't even be a conversation, but alas some people still try to insist "tHeY wErEn'T tHe RoMaN eMpIrE, tHeY wErE a SePeRaTe EnTiTy CaLlEd ThE bYzAnTiNe EmPiRe".
First off, the term "Byzantine" is a modern invention that only originated after the fall of the empire and was never used even by foreigners to refer to the empire in its lifetime. It’s also slowly falling out of use with modern historians anyways.
The formal name used in official documents and inscriptions was Βασιλεία Ῥωμαίων (Basileía Rhōmaíōn) meaning "Empire of the Romans" and the common everyday name used by its inhabitants was Ῥωμανία (Rhōmanía) which is latinized as "Romania". Keep in mind though the term "Romania" here does not refer to modern-day Romania as Greeks today use the term Ρουμανία (Roumanía) for the modern country to distinguish it from the Roman Empire.
The Greek-speaking Christian citizens of the empire were called Ῥωμαῖοι (Rhōmaîoi) meaning “Romans” and the empire’s Jews were called Ῥωμανιῶτες (Rhōmaniôtes) meaning "Inhabitants of Romania".
Even after the fall of Constantinople in 1453, many Greek-speaking Christians continued to identify as Roman well into the 20th century. For example, when the island of Letmos was taken from the Ottomans by Greece in 1912, Greek soldiers were sent to each village and stationed themselves in the public squares. Some of the island children ran to see what Greek soldiers looked like. ‘'What are you looking at?’’ one of the soldiers asked. ‘'At Hellenes,’’ the children replied. ‘'Are you not Hellenes yourselves?’’ the soldier retorted. ‘'No, we are Romans,’’ the children replied.Quetzalcoatl and JesusWhy among all the Aztec gods, did the Spanish priests choose to associate Jesus with Quetzalcoatl to convert them (yes, it wasn't the Mormons who invented this story)? Does it have anything to do with him being related to Venus/Morning Star like Jesus (Thomas was called Didymus because he and Jesus were twin brothers, interestingly Quetzalcoatl also had a twin brother called Xolotl)?
>Other parties have also promulgated the idea that the Mesoamericans believed the conquistadors, and in particular Cortés, to be awaited gods: most notably the historians of the Franciscan order such as Fray Gerónimo de Mendieta. Some Franciscans at this time held millennarian beliefs and some of them believed that Cortés' coming to the New World ushered in the final era of evangelization before the coming of the millennium. Franciscans such as Toribio de Benavente "Motolinia" saw elements of Christianity in the pre-Columbian religions and therefore believed that Mesoamerica had been evangelized before, possibly by Thomas the Apostle, who, according to legend, had "gone to preach beyond the Ganges". Franciscans then equated the original Quetzalcoatl with Thomas and imagined that the Indians had long-awaited his return to take part once again in God's kingdomTertullian was an heteronym used by Septimus Severushttps://www.henryhdavis.com/emperor-septimius-severusI am against Communism because I am against the Neolithic RevolutionCommunism promises paradise, but delivers an even worse hell. It wants to correct the mistakes of Neolithic civilization by recreating a classless society, but it relies on the same curse that destroyed hunter-gatherers: Agriculture and Industry. Marx dreamed of a world where the fruits of labor were distributed according to need, but his model is nothing more than an extension of the very structure that created the problem.
The Neolithic Revolution inaugurated control, ownership, and the State. Surplus led to inequality, inequality led to government, and government led to systematic violence. Communism looks at this history and says, "The problem is who controls the surplus." But the problem is the surplus itself! Civilization as a whole is a castle built on shifting sand. Communism does not want to destroy this castle, it only wants to change who sits on the throne.
Communism's greatest mistake is to try to imitate hunter-gatherers within an agrarian and industrial society. Hunter-gatherers owned no land, accumulated no surpluses, and needed no state structure to "distribute" the fruits of their labor. But communists, in their blindness, believe that they can create an industrial society where no one owns anything, where production is collective, and where the state takes care of distribution. This is a contradiction in terms: Industry needs central coordination, Agriculture needs planning, and any society that depends on these structures inevitably generates a new state, new ruling classes, and new forms of coercion.No titleCaptain Newport's most famous voyage was in 1592 when he led a fleet of four ships to plunder Spanish towns in Hispaniola and Honduras.

Hurston's sources of information were lore related by Haitians, as well as a few earlier books
>She described them as a fearsome group of cannibals who performed rites distinct from vodoo practiced by many Haitians. According to Huston, Secte Rouge used counterfeit vodou ceremonies to hide their presence, and moreover that many of the practices abhorred by outsiders and attributed to vodou were actually committed by Secte Rouge (e.g., the robbery or desecration of graves). Hurston provided descriptions of Secte Rouge ceremonies to the gods Maitre Carrefour (Lord of the Cross Roads) and Baron Cimetière, a deity involved with graveyards
>The Secte Rouge was held to have originated among slaves captured in the Mondongue region, now part of the Central African Republic, said to have practiced cannibalism in their homeland. Their behavior was held in check by slavery during the 1700s when France ruled the island, but with the Haitian Revolution and independence in 1804 the Secte Rouge were unleashed. The tenure of President Fabre Geffrard (1859-1867) was said to have been the peak years of the Secte Rouge. Anecdotes include stories of a midwife near who murdered newborn infants specifically to consume their flesh, and human fingernails being discovered in food sold as pig's feet

At great cost, he assembled and equipped 13 ships and approximately 550 soldiers for the expedition. The fleet was about to set sail in 1541 when Alvarado received a letter from Cristóbal de Oñate, pleading for help against hostile Indians who were besieging him at Nochistlán. > The siege was part of a major revolt by the Mixtón natives of the Nueva Galicia region of Mexico. Alvarado gathered his troops and went to help Oñate. In a freak accident, he was crushed by a horse that was spooked and ran amok. Alvarado lay in agony before eventually dying a few days later, on July 4, 1541, and was buried in the church at Tiripetío, a village between Pátzcuaro and Morelia (in present-day Michoacán). > Four decades after Alvarado's death, his mestiza daughter Leonor de Alvarado Xicoténcatl paid to transport his remains to Guatemala for reburial in the cathedral of the city of Santiago de los Caballeros de Guatemala, now Antigua Guatemala.No titleso, what year was humanity's peak?No title>16th-17th century Grand Duchy of TuscanyNo titleWhat are some of your historical hot takes, /his/? Mine is that the Kommissarbefehl (the Nazi order to kill all captured Soviet commissars without exception) was a good idea, and one of the best things the Nazis actually did during the war. If you read about the behavior of the commissars in the USSR of the 1930's, they seem incredibly evil and mean-spirited. They committed all sorts of horrendous crimes, ranging from murders to ethnic cleansing.
They deserved what they got. If you were a Soviet commissar prior to WWII, you were almost certainly a serial killer-level sociopath.No titleWhy is Taoism suddenly relevant again?What are yout thoughts on the 4B Movement?4B or "Four Nos" isa radical feminist movement that originated in South Korea.

Its proponents do not date men, marry men, have sex with men, or have children with men. As of now, it has become an extremely popular trend in america, following the ideas of various radical feminists and gender separatists of the 20th century.

Yet when Charles I was overthrown and executed in England, and the monarchy abolished, the rest of Europe did nothing and basically just sent a couple of strongly worded letters, and left them be until it fell apart on its own. Is it because England was seperated by water?

And those who fall behind get beaten. But we do not want to be beaten. No, we refuse to be beaten! One feature of the history of old Russia was the continual beatings she suffered because of her backwardness. She was beaten by the Mongol khans. She was beaten by the Turkish beys. She was beaten by the Swedish feudal lords. She was beaten by the Polish and Lithuanian gentry. She was beaten by the British and French capitalists. She was beaten by the Japanese barons. All beat her — because of her backwardness, because of her military backwardness, cultural backwardness, political backwardness, industrial backwardness, agricultural backwardness. They beat her because it was profitable and could be done with impunity. You remember the words of the pre-revolutionary poet: "You are poor and abundant, mighty and impotent, Mother Russia." 4 Those gentlemen were quite familiar with the verses of the old poet. They beat her, saying: "You are abundant," so one can enrich oneself at your expense. They beat her, saying: "You are poor and impotent," so you can be beaten and plundered with impunity. Such is the law of the exploiters — to beat the backward and the weak. It is the jungle law of capitalism. You are backward, you are weak — therefore you are wrong; hence you can be beaten and enslaved. You are mighty — therefore you are right; hence we must be wary of you. That is why we must no longer lag behind.
That is why Lenin said on the eve of the October Revolution: "Either perish, or overtake and outstrip the advanced capitalist countries."
We are fifty or a hundred years behind the advanced countries. We must make good this distance in ten years. Either we do it, or we shall go under. - Joseph Stalin, February 4, 1931. https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1931/02/04.htmNo titleill never bow down to the jews or muslims.
