Much of Pompeii has not been excavated yet so there is always hope I would like the lost history of the Etruscans to be found

Uniting upper and lower Egypt qualifies as an empire to me at least. It’s an enormous state

They asked about monoliths which the pyramids are not an example of. Unless we are taking a broad definition of monolith The Egyptians had huge obelisks I would guess Becuase of the quality of their masons and quarries. But lots of cultures produced huge rocks euphronius fucked around with this message at 00:34 on Feb 24, 2024 |

15th century Egypt expanded pretty far. The Hittites were able to stop them going into Asia Minor. I don’t know why they didn’t go into Iraq. Where else was there ? Greece and rome weren’t much then

Jamwad Hilder posted:Yea for sure, it's most definitely not a perfect 1:1 example, but if you look at a map of the ancient Egyptian kingdom, it's maybe around 1/2 of what modern Egypt is, plus much of modern day Israel, Syria, etc. It's a lot of land to rule. That’s basically all of the 1500 bce civilizations except the Hittites and iraq. (Excluding Iran and west ) There was nothing else really going on in the Mediterranean then It’s 600 years to Carthage. 600 years untill the Etruscans. 1000 (more or less ) until rome is a thing. Greece hasn’t even gotten to its dark ages yet. Crete was just getting started And we (understandably) focus on the Mediterranean and near East but Nubia was and is enormous and wealthy and Egypt dominated it

Also there was an enormous and long drought around 1200 bce which pretty much crippled Egypt (and everyone else )

Christians worship a trinity which is not something Jews and Muslims really go for, for example. I don’t even think Christians are monotheist. But that is def arguable

Every Christian I have met in the USA 100% does not worship the god of Abraham. At all. Maybe a learned doctor of divinity could explain the connection to you if you asked them

I understand and have in mind history but I’m mostly talking about how Christianity is practiced now in the various churches and tents across the world. No one is talking about the Holy Spirit (except maybe as mentioned those learned doctors of divinity)

The Egyptians invented it. The Persians invented it. Celtic beliefs were erased who knows. There are monotheistic interpretations of Hinduism. Sikhism is arguably monotheistic. I don’t know about Chinese religions. And I still argue Christianity is not monotheistic. If it monotheistic is then Hinduism is too Edit Forgot Rastafarianism

I don’t know how true the proposition “rome was against human sacrifice” Is. It was part of their propaganda sure But like as we can see even today, politicians sometimes are bit being sincere when they criticize some other country

Why don’t we consider crucifixion to be a form of human sacrifice. Because the victim is not ostensibly given to a god ?

Yea but that seems like an arbitrary distinction to justify or criticize state execution . Also gods may have been invoked by the magistrate during the crucifixion process anyway

Kylaer posted:. They explictly viewed this as a different act than execution for crimes. That is my point. I know some Romans did but is that meaningful and is it enough evidence to support the broader conclusion “Romans were against human sacrifice” To make my position clear: I don’t think Roman’s general stance on human sacrifice is knowable . To the extent it is, it seems contradictory. In addition criticism of say Carthage for engaging in the act do not seem credible due to their political motivation. The claims about Carthage seem to come from a very very small and specific group of people anyway (Senator class) euphronius fucked around with this message at 13:17 on May 9, 2024 |

Even today we see people in the political class make baseless and hypocritical distinctions and criticisms of other countries actions. Looks at American ruling class criticisms of China for example. I don’t think it would be proper to base your understanding of Americans or China based on what American politicians say about China but we seem to (not all the time) base a lot or out understanding of Rome and Carthage (for example ) based on what roman politicians say

I don’t think there is any strong physical evidence of Carthage human sacrifice. They found the bodies of children but I don’t know what that shows. I have not looked into it for awhile maybe there is new finds

I’m not clicking on a British tabloid link but if it is what I suspect, that is a erroneously confident conclusion from definitively ambiguous evidence

Nuremberg is an excellent example. If your conclusion from Nuremberg is that the west has a taboo against war crimes and genocide, you would be 100% wrong.
