Judging by the attention these threads are getting, several times that many doesn't seem far fetched

2017-10-27 01:24:49 UTC  

good, good

2017-10-27 02:05:12 UTC  

I know i'll do it

2017-10-27 02:05:42 UTC  

I like making masks anyways

I've just come to the realization that every single cradle of civilization has had to do with Indo-Europeans, with maybe the exception of the Mesoamericans.

"Western Regions (Hsi-yu; Chinese: 西域; pinyin: Xīyù; Wade–Giles: Hsi1-yü4) is the historical name in China, between the 3rd century BCE and 8th century CE for regions west of Yumen Pass, including the Tarim and Central Asia.[22]

Some of the peoples of the Western Regions were described in Chinese sources as having full beards, red or blond hair, deep-set blue or green eyes and high noses.[23] According to Chinese sources, the city states of the Tarim reached the height of their political power during the 3rd to 4th centuries CE,[24] although this may actually indicate an increase in Chinese involvement in the Tarim, following the collapse of the Kushan Empire."
"if confirmed, be interpreted as evidence that cultural exchanges occurred among Indo-European and Chinese populations at a very early date. It has been suggested that such activities as chariot warfare and bronze-making may have been transmitted to the east by these Indo-European nomads.[3] Mallory and Mair also note that: "Prior to c. 2000 BC, finds of metal artifacts in China are exceedingly few, simple and, puzzlingly, already made of alloyed copper (and hence questionable)." While stressing that the argument as to whether bronze technology travelled from China to the West or that "the earliest bronze technology in China was stimulated by contacts with western steppe cultures", is far from settled in scholarly circles, they do suggest that the evidence to date favours the latter scenario"

@Ammianus Marcellinus what of the civs in the Americas?

2017-10-27 02:08:42 UTC  

the Inca and Aztec aren't absolutely nothing

2017-10-27 02:09:35 UTC  

While other cultures might have developed at their own slow pace independently, each one of these were accelerated by Ind-European technology and contact

Eg, >Ethiopians, Arabs and Berbers, they all had contact with Egyptians, Greeks or Mesopotamians

2017-10-27 02:11:19 UTC  

muh diamond resources tho

2017-10-27 02:12:09 UTC  

Incas and Aztecs? They're mongoloids, smarter than nigs and australoids

2017-10-27 02:12:19 UTC  

It was to be expected

2017-10-27 02:12:52 UTC  

Also, what about "muh diamond resources tho"? @Roman Dreams

2017-10-27 02:12:59 UTC  

oh, Jared Diamond

2017-10-27 02:13:15 UTC  

I never realized this book was written in 1997

2017-10-27 02:13:31 UTC  

explains why it conveniently fits into equality values

2017-10-27 02:13:33 UTC  

It's utter shit

2017-10-27 02:13:47 UTC  

I'd still read it

2017-10-27 02:14:14 UTC  

The only reason nigs didn't create advanced civilizations, is because they had pretty much all they needed

2017-10-27 02:14:30 UTC  

they never had to survive the 4 seasons, harsh winters, etc.

2017-10-27 02:14:46 UTC  

(congoids)

2017-10-27 02:15:37 UTC  

ja

2017-10-27 02:16:11 UTC  

and it's been pretty well established that the early Tarim cultures you mentioned were Saka/Scythians

2017-10-27 02:16:33 UTC  

pretty much a stage before the Persians, slightly further north
