I have a theory that part of the reason Judaism was permitted while Zoroastrianism was not is that the Romans associated Judaism with the worship of Saturn. Zoroastrianism was associated with Persians and was seen as more foreign.

the worship of Mithras, a Persian god, was widespread throughout the empire in late antiquity and particularly associated with the army. It was not a text-based religion so Judaism and Christianity loom much larger in our image of popular religion in late antiquity but this is an illusion.


There is extensive archaeological record however and you can visit mithraea all over the empire.




 
I've heard that the big silurian hypothesis that there were ancient lost civilizations is that there's no plastics of any kind and they'd be the one thing humans made that even if all life on the planet died would still be around in traceable form for 10s of millions of years or more. Maybe hundreds. It's hard to reckon an advanced civilization that could do space/whatever and not have polymer traces left anywhere.
Most European states supported massive, world-spanning empires in the first half of the 19th century and they didn’t use plastics. Who says the antediluvian civilization used them?
 
I like the part of the american myth where a bunch of chinese people seem to appear from nowhere to help us build the railroad across the freaking rockies then they just dissapear afterwords, no slavery, no civil war, they just help us with a major engineering project, then fade into the mist.

Black people pick cotton for a few years and now they get Atlanta?

they didn't fade into the mist they invented the forture cookie
 
You guys are all retarded. The ancient aliens took all the plastic and turned it into the dinosaurs.

Time is a flat circle.

It's rather poetic that the followers of a deity who have no surviving written narratives or theology from the religious services have some of the most intact ceremonial meeting places because many of them were built underground.

It was a pretty different situation. A big reason black slaves were preferred over e.g. European indentured servants was because they were hardier against new-world diseases, they just died from the job less, very relevant in agricultural work in what, at the time, was much more like a jungle than it currently appears. With the railroads, it was more about undercutting and strike-busting American labor, not unlike how illegals are used today.
 
so a few pages back a bunch of you sperged out about how other races are just so alien and your evidence for this is your disagreements with CTR, which clearly stem from the ancient inability of Japeth and Shem to share a messageboard

and now you're confronted with someone who is actually totally alien to you, Tucker Carlson, and you don't understand what you're looking at.

Tucker Carlson is old American WASP elite. Some of us here know these people because our families have historically worked for them, some of us may have encountered them in strange ways that happened in the 90s, but no one here is that. They are not you.

Nobody is confused that Tucker is white, anglo-saxon, or protestant, you unprecedentedly retarded foid. Why do you even weigh in on half this shit, it's like you don't even read threads, you just look for half-understood opportunities to seethe at A&N.
 
I hit uncanny valley with Tucker because I saw that he flips the middle finger in a weird gross way
Ver archivo adjunto 8260204
Giving somebody the middle finger with your thumb fully extended out to the side is the gayest shit ever. I don't even find that acceptable when women do it.
Jesus Tucker, is your hand that fucking weak that you can't ball a fist for a couple seconds and extend the middle finger?
I was always bothered when people let the other halves of their fingers get in on the middle finger as well. You don't bend your fingers at the halfway point to flip somebody off, you make an entire ass fist and then lean the finger into the person.

Middle finger etiquette sperging:

Awwww, how cute... she's doing the middle finger just like the boys do! If you're going to stick your hitchhiker thumb out that far you might as well just open your entire hand and threaten to slap somebody at that point.

What the hell is even that???
Looks like you're trying to throw a gang sign up at me. Look at how all the fingers come up to meet the middle one in a feminine manner.
Scientists refer to this as the "pussy way" to flip somebody the bird.

Now that's a good old fashioned middle finger. Notice how NONE of the other fingers are even touching the middle one? That's because the gentleman in the picture is making sure that the recipient is getting the maximum amount of "fuck you" out of the gesture.
This is the only way that is correct to flip somebody off. Everything else is an embarrassment.
 
I bet UFO technology is actually a lost branch of human precursor that managed to leave the planet before current written records. #tinfoilhat
Assuming that UFO's do exist and aren't just US/Russian/Chinese black projects or psyops, them being from an ancient Earth civilization is actually the Occam's Razor solution that requires the fewest wild assumptions. If we assume that UFO's come from aliens, then it must mean that either: (1) they're from nearby, and universe around us is absolutely teeming with life that we just haven't been able to find, despite our decades of searching, or (2) they're from really, REALLY far away, and FTL travel, and by extension time travel, must be possible. Meanwhile, if we assume that UFO's come from an ancient Earth civilization... well, we already know that the Earth is capable of spawning a technologically advanced species, and the time/distance problem is irrelevant because they're right here on Earh. The only assumption we have to make is that there existed an ancient technologically advanced civilization that we have not yet discovered evidence of. And that's something that is at least theoretically plausible and doesn't require upending our current understanding of physics or the universe.

Personally I'm of the opinion that if UFO's are real, they originate from the deep sea, and whatever made them is still out there. It could explain how they've been able to evade our notice for so long.
 
I've been told that the US banking system only stays liquid due to the movement of drug money since most other assets are largely frozen or inflexible. Can't honestly argue for or against the idea..
Physical currency is the problem. Without a way for the cartels to launder their money and get that physical cash back into circulation they would end up with all of it.
 
I mean I feel like we're all forgetting what's important here and that's the fact that Tim Walz REALLY IS a retard.
He is certifiably retarded, and if anyone has a problem with that, they can cry about it while they're sucking their transgender communist nigger "girl"friend's dick.
The latest Walz news I heard is that people who knew him from his time in service reported him to the FBI for stealing a mobile Howitzer manual that went missing - Specifically a howitzer that China somehow cloned less than 5 years later.

One of the wildest things was him hemming and hawing about how to explain wtf he was doing in China back then. He basically kinda just went the 'what can I say, I'm a knucklehead' line again.

It's also wild that the likely next CA gov (Swalwell, only cause Porter is so fucking repulsive even to a lot of dems) is also one of the most blatant CCP assets too.
