Vikings were scary because they had fast ships, horses, a range of weapons, and fought in formation – the perfection of light infantry, cavalry, and sail. Europeans were scary because they made amazing, fast ships, loaded them with guns, horses, and men with guns. Germans were amazing because they used armor as if it was light cavalry. americans are currently amazing, because they use air force as cavalry.

(FB 1545245451 Timestamp) The correct question is âWhat is the oldest political religion?â, because that is the function of all surviving religions from the Axial period. Sumerians first wrote down their religions in 3500 BCE and most political religions evolved evolved from competition with theirs. We see evidence if organized religion in Anatolia from 8â9,000 bc, predating stonehenge by 6000 years. It appears we developed religious practices (what we call sacred, but is more correctly, suppression of all self interest, status signal, and dominance expression ) no less than 40k years ago. There was our first and longest dark age around 20â21k bc. Then practices resumed, around 13k bc. it wasnât that long – about 8000bc – until farming and farming creates folk religions in an and around anatolia -still burial focused. Around 5500bc the indo europeans developed sacrificial religion, and spread it – man now bargaining with the gods. And again, by 3300 we see the rapid development of political religion in every region of eurasia.

(FB 1545235231 Timestamp) YES THE MUSLIM EXPANSION WAS CATASTROPHIC FOR THE WORLD – JUST AS WAS THE JEWISH AND CHRISTIAN. The west in the ancient and modern world raised mankind out of superstition, ignorance, poverty and dysgenia. The muslim world put people into superstition, ignorance, poverty, decline, and disgenia. It’s not complicated.There was no golden age any more than napoleonic artwork. The islamic destruction of every great civilization of the ancient world and the descent into ignorance, poverty, and genetic dysgenia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7y2LRcf4kc ⦠The west fell by overexpansion into the middle east in a foolish attempt to maintain alexander’s empire. The result was inability to resist the germans given the migration due to the Celtic Holocaust. The spread of jews into the empire, and resulting Jewish revolutionary undermining, spread via women and slaves, later imposed by emperors in the east as a means of destroying the aristocracy and the empire, and the islamic prevention of the restoration of roman population and order after war, and plague. The muslims then conducted 1400 years of raids against europe – we invented castles to stop them. Everywhere the west touches people get wealthier (or die) Everywhere islam went people declined. If it wasn’t for the turks providing new genes arabian lands would be indifferent from africa.
