https://www.facebook.com/curt…/posts/1015669432299226NO, THE ABRAHAMIC DARK AGES ARE SOMETHING WE SURVIVED.
I don’t make mistakes. It’s my job to not make the mistakes others have made, no matter how frequent.
No, the abrahamic dark ages destroyed all the great civilizations of the ancient world.
Yes, it was the combination of plague and raids that weakened the roman empire.
Yes it was the byzantine conquest of the west, and violent imposition of christianity that prevented the west’s restoration.
Yes, islam destroyed all the mediterranean trade routes which vastly reduced trade. But Islam could not cross the sahara well, could not displace hinduism in india, the chinese would have none of it as they still will not, and by the time the muslims made it into europe by the eastern route they had so exhausted the capital of all the great civilizations and reduced them to dysgenia and ignorance that they could not adapt to and compete with modernity.
The abrahamic dark ages destroyed every one of the great civilizations – all of them. We were just lucky in europe to SURVIVE THEM thanks to the north’s revolt against the corruption and nepotism of the church, and a reserve of northern peoples late to forcible conversion.
We are currently in the second abrahamic dark age, and the second counter-reveolution against western civilization: Rousseau > Kant > Marx/Freud/Boas/Cantor/Adorno > the french postmodernists and feminists. This abrahamic dark age is just using pseudoscience, pseudo-rationalism, and outright denialism to accomplish in the modern world (manufacturing of ignorance, spreading a cult of economic and political promise, forcing immigration and displacement) that were practiced in the ancient world using sophomoric supernaturalism.
I don’t expect other peoples to thank us for dragging them kicking and screaming out of ignorance, superstition, poverty, starvation, hard labor, child mortality, early death, disease, and the vicissitudes of nature, but then I don’t expect them to lie to me and cast our forcible lifting of them from semi animal state in to modernity – whether I in the greco-roman world or this anglo-germanic one.
We had, at least until Burke, hoped the rest of mankind was able to join the aristocracy but they have not. And the 20th century was an interesting but failed experiment. This is why authoritarian governments are returning now that the USA as the inheritor of the british empire can no longer pay them for their conformity to the anglo empire.
We return to nation states, nationalism, national socialism, and managerial government. The rest of the people of the world are insufficiently developed to operate by rule of law of reciprocity (natural law). They need their falsehoods.
The first cowardice of any people is their fear of truthful speech, followed by their inability to trust one another, their paranoia because of it, their inability to build a commercial civilization because of it, and their serfdom to superstition, convention, propaganda, or falsehood because of all four. 😉
The cause of the first cowardice of any people is the fear of admission of one’s sexual, social, economic, intellectual, artistic, political, and military value. The fear of admitting one’s value, causes fear of speaking truth regardless of the consequences.
This is what separates western man from the west. To one another, we speak the truth no matter the consequences. We no voice, respect or honor not earned. We need no lies to believe to provide us comfort. No gods to worship but our ancestors. No book to memorize other than the book of nature we write anew with each generation. No universe to fear but the labor of its conquest and seed.
We do not fear the truth. We do not fear domesticating the animal in ourselves – or in others. We profit from it. And we do not rattle sabers without the certainty of the will to draw them.
So, do not throw stones of cowardice when you live in glass houses. Your words are empty. If you cannot speak truth, then you are but a coward from the moment you open your mouth.

None of the above were “in those places” at 15 kya.
Eastern European h-gs (EHG) is a recently coined term in genetic literature referring to a seemingly discrete Mesolithic population emerging in NE Europe around 6-7000 BC along a cline of Mesolithic/Late Paleolithic Western European h-gs (WHG) and Ancient North Eurasian (ANE) admixture. EHGs almost ubiquitously belonged to, and were the first carriers of, R1a and R1b paternal haplogroups in Europe, a marker inherited from mammoth-chasing ANE males penetrating from Siberia. Representatives of the EHG “macro-ethnicity” almost certainly spoke a primitive form of Proto-Indo-European and mixed with females of sedentary Neolithic farming groups expanding from the south in a potentially violent upheaval of the previously immobile lithic ages, involving horse domestication and invention of wheeled vehicles.
The resultant Yamnaya culture (or an immediately preceding stage thereof) in/around Ukraine was the urheimat of proper Proto-Indo-European.
The location of “PIE” in the map above is generally accepted as a reasonably accurate location of the *Proto-Indo-Iranian* urheimat, geographically synonymous to the Sintashta-Andronovo culture, millennia after IE branches had already established themselves across Europe and Siberia.
Linguistic evidence suggest that the Uralic urheimat was contemporary and adjacent to (directly north of) the PII urheimat (Sintashta), so this much is accurate. However, this was during the Bronze Age and not by the last glacial maximum (LGM) as the map seems to suggest.
Modern West Asians, from Turkey to Pakistan, are largely the same as Neolithic West Asians from a genetic standpoint, descending from the originators of river valley civilizations and Abrahamic religions. Compared to pre-neolithic revolution, say 15 kya, the region has become less genetically heterogeneous over the course of millenia of demographic and technological change.
I know less about early Turks and Mongols, but they were from thereabouts, geographically, and they emerged during the bronze or even iron ages. They were certainly not there by 15 kya.Oct 10, 2018, 12:58 PM photos_and_videos/TimelinePhotos_SxeO6JU-xg/43633733_10156694926002264_6105054251849875456_o_10156694925997264.jpg Trevor WilsonReally useful, thanks.Oct 9, 2018, 7:29 PM photos_and_videos/TimelinePhotos_SxeO6JU-xg/43527294_10156694926037264_3710162199629529088_o_10156694926022264.jpg photos_and_videos/TimelinePhotos_SxeO6JU-xg/43552516_10156694926787264_1546373219391373312_o_10156694926777264.jpg photos_and_videos/TimelinePhotos_SxeO6JU-xg/43586900_10156694926632264_9132343636694925312_o_10156694926627264.jpg photos_and_videos/TimelinePhotos_SxeO6JU-xg/43458462_10156694926687264_8515547798542745600_o_10156694926672264.jpg Trevor WilsonMycenaean.Oct 9, 2018, 7:33 PMGOOD MAPS OF EVOLUTION OF EUROPA AND WEST ASIA

I don’t make mistakes (very many anyway). It’s my job to limit myself to those things in which I can’t be mistaken, or which being mistaken is extremely difficult. Which is the entire point of my work. 😉 Limit yourself to that which you can operationally testify to.
it’s not that I’m always right. It’s that I just work at not being wrong harder than most people you know, because I understood how to complete the scientific method such that if I can explain something, it’s very hard to be wrong by the method of explanation that I use.
not complicated. sorta like math and legos. if yo can build it it’s got truth candidacy. If not it doesn’t. if you can’t buildit with operations then don’t have an opinion.
As far as I know the Shroud of Turin was produced for profit (a forgery) after the Fourth Crusade, as was common for all religious artifacts of the era. (Every little church wanted one as it provided an excuse for pilgrimage (vacationers). It is produced on fabric from the crusade period. The pattern of the weave was not produced in the origin period (not even sure it COULD be produced), which usually consisted of simple two-way weave. It appears likely that the cloth was of medieval Indian origins. The blood artifacts on the shroud are neatly applied not fitting splatter or settlement patterns. The posture appears to have been of a sculpted figure, not natural. The sculpture itself is medieval in technique (a knight) not ancient (a soldier or nobility). The coloring itself and its iron oxide can be produced relatively easily by wetting with organic compounds and laying on a relief sculpture and placing it in the sunshine to dry (uv radiation), thereby oxidizing (‘rusting’) the organic compounds. In other words all that was necessary was to find a relief sculpture common on a crusader burial of the period, to wet it with any number of organic materials (speculation on which was used isn’t clear), rub those organic compounds while on the sculpture, and to dry it in the intense regional sunshine. The problem we face is that so many people have come in contact with it, that other than the oxidation (Stains), we can’t trust any of the micro particles we’ve pulled from it since they contain everything from europe to the levant. In any event, as someone with a lot of experience with dead bodies, who has done rubbings of ancient 3d arts from all over the world, it looks like an obvious forgery, and it’s pretty hard for me to imagine anyone would think otherwise. But then I have an education in ancient art history, in identifying are methods, and as a consequence, art fraud, and my family is in the ‘burial’ business so maybe I’m just more informed by accident of circumstance.
DEATHS FROM PLAGUE VS WARFARE VS RELIGION VS IDEOLOGY
Plague is a disease (Bubonic Plague) spread by the bacteria Yersinia Pestis originating it what appears Pakistan in less virulent form?, spreading to china, and as usual, becoming virulent in china, and from china via overland and ships to persia, mesopotamia, the Levant, to the black sea, to the bosphorus to europe. The Plague is responsible for almost as many deaths (100-200M). With the Spanish Flu (50M), Small Pox (500M), Tuberculosis (Billions?), Malaria (Many Billions – mostly urban) providing comparisons. Plague deaths at 100-200m, were almost as deadly as deaths caused by islamic fundamentalism(750M) and jewish communism (100M), and european decimation of the native american population (unknown, but conservatively 50M).
—“Majority rule is only sustainable if its a proxy for fighting strength. Politics is a replacement for war. It assesses the likely outcome of conflict without the bloodshed. But leaders lost that understanding and expanded voting to those who have no fighting or funding capacity. There is no functional reason to expand voting beyond those who pay taxes or are able and willing to fight, except to empower power hungry politicians and their goal of farming more votes by giving the vote to those who bear none of the burden as citizens (or non-citizens).”—Steve Pender
