09.21.23 | I can see that. I'm not too knowledgeable about prehistory, but I am quite partial to the carboniferous period since I learned bout it in 4th grade |
MoM
09.21.23 | History is so cool! The dinosaurs, western history, eastern, South American, it’s all so interesting |

CaliggyJack

Pikazilla

EoinCofa
09.21.23 | Budg, you’re a crack smoker! You didn’t watch them. The whole chess match with Churchill and Roosevelt was depicted well. The skirmish between US and France too. Holy shit, french navy got sunk after they sunk brits. Actually, all major players lost ships. Wild shit! |
budgie

Galbador
09.21.23 | No ancient Greece? Period when superstition made history and magic to go hand in hand making everything into a mystical story. A ingnorant pleb confirmed. |
budgie
09.21.23 | ""No ancient Greece?"
what is the ptolemaic kingdom of egypt for $100 |
CaliggyJack
09.21.23 | Honestly if this was a top 15 entries 11-15 would have multiple eras of Greece on them. |

CaliggyJack
09.21.23 | History is fun |
Galbador
09.21.23 | History is just the fun things victors decide to include in their dogmatic truth. |
CaliggyJack
09.21.23 | Sounds like a sore loser |

Galbador
09.21.23 | Nah, I'm a humanist winner broken by ever thinking brain and the privileges I inherited. |
Galbador
09.21.23 | But of course still winning hard in global context. |
CaliggyJack
09.21.23 | Bro I'm just bantering man of course history is written by the Victors. |
Galbador
09.21.23 | Damnit you win this time. Ancient history is more fun for me because then you can just take it as entertaining stories. More recent history is just ideological battle and conciusly distorted dogmatic truth in my head. I would like to live in mythic greece where gods just interfered with politics or pulled a prank on us. |
