History Thread

Big history buff for real 💯. I'm into Ancient to Modern all across the planet really. But a focus on Africa predynastic Kemet to modern as well. I'm big on subjects like Anthropology, psychology, comparative religion/ mythology, esoteric as well. It all goes hand in hand. I find it interesting to peep the cycles of history and how this whole shit runs in a big ass loop.

I hated history in school. It took me a while before I realized how much I actually like the subject. I just had to get to a point where I could get it unfiltered and not the watered down BS they give you in school.

I feel the same... I was interested in it at school in someways but not like now but never paid much attention in school (and was eventually kicked out)...

TBH I was I could go back in time and bombard the teachers with tons of questions and also question their 'facts'...

I tried my best to make my nephews interested in history and things, my youngest nephew just finished school and got top marks in history and English, mainly down to me giving him history lessons etc which made him really interested in the subject and random facts...

A year or so ago he surprised his history teacher by asking his teacher about America suppling arms to Bin Laden and helping Afghanistan fight Russia, the teacher asked how he knew about it as most 14/15yrs dont read, he then said his uncle told him lol

That's mind boggling. Our understanding of archery is flawed. We're used to seeing people at the Olympics shooting at targets. Those people were targeting eyes in charging armies. That's ridiculous. If it was them bragging about doing it, you might easily dismiss it as exaggeration, but the people who claimed they did that were third parties who had no stake in the battles. Even if it was exaggeration, the point is that the Nubians were such good archers, that people who witnessed them were in awe.
