Lol at the subtle antisemitist jab.

I do agree that current society is missing a sense of community and decades back, some tenets from the Bible did help in that aspect. It's just unfortunate that people need to convert to religion and abide by a book and believe in a deity in order to follow a decent moral framework with toxic elements like homophobia, misogyny, heaven or hell, etc.


The only one who thought of Jews was you. Academics tend to get more and more left the longer they stay at universities, its a pretty common pattern.

The Bible isn't misogynist either. Its fiercely feminist, it just acknowledges biological and hormonal differences.

I think anti-homo philosophies will eventually morph into anti-polygamy within the church going forward. I doubt priests remaining celibate is possible anymore either. The Roman Cath church has become overrun with gay bishops because of the no marriage rule.

Egyptians were olive skinned whites descended from Mesopotamia.

Africa has never had clean water. It was impossible for them to evolve into farming societies because the climate favored other activities to a fault


lol that's not true at all. Like, on any level.

Egypt was building pyramids while Greece was just banging sticks together. Nubia was much the same.

The old kingdom was as distant from Rome as Rome is from us.

A big 3D triangle is less complicated than a functioning aqueduct that still functions to this day.

I really couldn't care less. Point is Egypt had a massive, organized, wonder-building empire before Rome even existed, and it wasn't even the only one in Africa. It's just the one that Rome had the most contact with so it's the one we learn about.

And we spend an extensive time learning about the ancient Egyptians. We don't spend any time at all learning about the Dacians, because there's very little to go on. It is for no other reason that those civilizations left very little in the way of archaeological/historical/literary evidence.

It is not how I would describe it, but neither would I be trying to compare ancient Egypt to the many and diverse civilizations of the sub-Saharan and beyond.

The Egyptians from the mid 6th century BC on were dominated by Persia, and from the late 4th century on were ruled by Greek (Macedonian) descendants. After Alexander the Great died, Egypt passed under the control of Ptolemy, who established the Ptolemaic dynasty and Egypt subsequently controlled by Greek descendants until their eventual overthrow by Rome during the civil wars of the 2nd triumvirate.

The Media could be locked in a box with Joe Biden, Joe Biden could fart loudly, and the media would applaud and still write positive headlines about it.

Same reason they won't harass him for his first solo speech. They all works together. They pushed Trump out, now they can do whatever they feel like. Why wouldn't they? You see anyone doing something bout it? People waiting in their home nonchalantly waiting for their 1400$ every three months. Under 500$ a month which is usually made in 1 day of work . Two days if you didn't go to school long enough.
