i took a behind the scenes tour of the andean collection at Amnh last summer with a teachers group and they pulled out their sack mummies and other poo poo for us from storage and the textiles and poo poo were mindblowing quality. like 2000yo desert cave shawls as vibrant and intact as any new piece of cloth but so finely woven the quality was unmistakable

Tulip posted:The only time I've seen "intensive pastoralism" invoked was for some parts of Sami herding and industrial factory farming, but I've also never really gone looking. Sub Saharan Africa would probably be another example. A very long time ago I took a history class about the region and some of the major cultures (I wish I could remember their names off the top of my head) were based completely around herding with even their settlements being built around it. The people who live in the Kalahari still drink cow blood as a major source of nutrition.

Dreylad posted:Scott's great. Thanks for the summary. If anything it is the Hohokam culture of the central Sonoran Desert that cast doubt on Scott's hypothesis. 1000 years of large scale irrigation canals in a marginal agricultural landscape with rock hard soils, 2000 years of smaller irrigation experiments prior, basically no evidence of states and even hierarchical leadership evidence is equivocal at best. Which may be because they knew about states. They interacted with West México from the earliest times of their culture (around CE 450, with sporadic contact for millenia prior) and by then states are well established in that region. By then people from that region are also living at Teotihuacan so it is possible the Hohokam had some knowledge of that massive city. And by CE 1050 their northern neighbors at Chaco Canyon had built a state out of what seems to be leveraged social and material debt embedded in ritual feasts and ritual services. So it may be an active rejection of what they saw elsewhere. Also Hawaii sort of casts doubt on the idea that storable surplus as embodied by grain was needed for state formation as none of the staple foods of Kānaka Maoli society stored very well and historical records don't really suggest control of surplus led to the formation of the numerous states of the archipelago. Some of the West African tropical societies (especially ancient Yoruba and Igbo) may be similar. Crops are all tubers that store poorly during the period of initial state formation.

i haven’t seen any of these. Pompeii pretty cool, I actually made popcorn and am watching the Hannibal movie now, it’s not bad except for the fact that all the Carthaginians are played by Caucasian actors and there is no way in hell that elephants would be allowed to be used in a movie this way in modern times

twoday posted:grab some popcorn, it's movie night If you guys are interested in a good show, and are okay with reading subtitles, I recommend Resurrection: Ertugrul. The show is based on the history of the Muslim Oghuz Turks and takes place in the 13th century. I think its pretty great, tho I have no idea how accurate it is. I also strongly recommend Rise of Empires: Ottoman which is of much better quality than Rise of Empires: Rome.

I find chance event historical stories to be interesting. In this case of William Adams it was due to signing up for "get rich scheme" that went south and ending up in Japan of all places. Due to the chance event it had some long term historical implications such as how the Shogunate eventually decided to boot out all Jesuits, switch over to Dutch as Japan's preferred trading partners and also led to harsh pogroms against Japanese Christians at state policy since they were seen as a subversive foreign influence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aVshthzRuk

William Adams didn't want to be weeboo, he had no choice since he was prevented from returning back to England since his technical knowledge of things like western shipbuilding made him too valuable to lose.
