The aristocrats in Tang China used to have African Servants

Was there ever a African equivalent of Genghis Khan or some other mass conqueror

what type of fascist are you @Bozgor

@𝐇𝐀𝐀𝐈'𝐙 🏴 Sinister 😎

@Yunus That’s Mamluks armor correct?

Or is that Turkish?

which one @Ned Kelly

i thought all of them were ottoman tbh

just found out the mamluks were turkic btw The word Mamluk means ‘owned’ and the Mamluks were not native to Egypt but were always slave soldiers, mainly Qipchak Turks from Central Asia

https://historyandsoon.wordpress.com/category/ottomans/

5th picture i sent it says-Mail and plate armour of rider and horse. Mamluk of the Ottoman army, mid-16th century (unknown museum)

and the 6th picture i sent it says Turko-Iranian or Ottoman lamellar armor of rider and horse (Metropolitan Museum of Art.)

🤔

notice sumthn

o t t o m a n

janissary bois

wow nice

@Yunus Hey found a picture of Benin Weapons

send

the shield looks really nice

yeah

the swords daggers? are shaped strange

i wonder if they threw them

kinda looks like something you would throw at someone tbh

^definitely

Also found this

dem leopards tho

Yeah they had a thing for leopards since leopards symbolized strength I think

lions wouldve been cooler 😠

i really like the spears

Yeah lol

here’s a benin warrior with a Leopard btw lol

you know what wouldve been the most badass thing ever if you could make those wild cats fight for you

imagine

Oh yeah lol
I wonder if they ever did that since they fucking had leopards lol

i dont think thats possible tbh

like i feel like if u let them off the leash they would either run away or attack some random dude

Yeah

Best they stay a symbol and not as a tool for fighting lol

yis

out of what were their little statues made btw

like the one w the leopard

They were made with Bronze

fatuh sultan mehmeds sword

i nut everytime i see this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePQtmZyZiOo

@Yunus That’s an epic looking sword tbh

pretty thic too

Goddamn

i luv swords

knoifes r nice 2

Konda sword (Congo)

@Yunus Their armor and swords look majestic

ouch

imagine getting hit by that lmao

yeah lol

also looks like you could throw that btw

heavier at the end

f a n c y s c i s s o r s

throwing knife btw

yooo

why is it shaped like that

Even I don’t know lol

did all their throwing knives look like that

because i could see some dude being creative with them

but i dont get why all would be shaped like that

I think mainly in the Congo

What is with the weird knives, they look useless?

I mean hey, if they commonly used them
it must have worked to some degree

Eh, maybe but a straight edge is easier to use and make

post more swords n knives u fags

what type of sword is that

whats the name boie

That is a short and an arming sword from left to right

One is one handed and the other is a hand and a half

are those yours

My father’s actually

thats neat

ever cut anything with them?

Yeah, not fit for sparring tho

And not me, but my father might have

you do sword sparring?

Yeah HEMA

yeeaa

whats it like

Well HEMA is full contact so we can grapple with the opponent, we use metal swords but they are not sharp, and we read from texts created during the renaissance as a base for it

interesting

you still wear body protection tho right

Oh yeah, not so much full plate armor as much as padded clothes, they are thick enough to avoid injury tho

what type of swords do you use

I do longword mostly, and that is the main thing taught in class, but we have used Spears, rapiers, and dusaq(a cutlass like blade), tho only occasionally

sounds very fun

Yeah, you can google them, their organization is pretty big

ill google them rn

If their acronym doesn’t work try googling, “historical European Martial Arts”

lol theres even people doing it in turkey

thats crazy

Yeah, as I said these are historical texts so they are done pretty much everywhere in some form

i see

Although, I am no expert on the material or association, so take my words with a grain of salt

The Hagia Sophia will be a church once more

blue mosque

💙

the inside looks great except for the squiggly lines

ah but thats hagia sophia

oh didnt realize it was a different one

still my point stands

i disagree tbh they add like a certain holiness to the beautiful mosque i feel

it looks like someone just shitposted all over the walls tbh

doesnt even fit in with the architecture at all

like modern art

i think it looks just right
