most people in europe in the middle ages were barbarians
an average peasant may still buy a cooking book though
from the steppes or northern wastes
we even have math homework from babylon
none of whom had a written language
and even the few that did
the language was solely the domain of the priesthood
Not really what do they have to cook that they don't already have?
now if you consider mesopotamia itself
they literally didnt teach peasants shit
they had an entire class of people
who were the only ones who could read and write
not even nobles could read and write
The scribe class, lol?
Luci spitting fire!
yes
> how many europeans come from mesopotamia? @Lucienne d'Anwyl Whoa there, bigot, cool it w/ the hate speech. Don't you know that Middle-Easterners are the *true* Europeans? <:thunk:462282216467333140>
And truth.
Writing as a craft
but anyways
Then
most of our european ancestors came from barbarian tribes
like the germans
the polish
Like other craftsmen
the mongols
etc.
they never had a written langauge
Writing is a witchcraft!
until missionaries gave them one
Yes most people in history were illiterate
Or at least it's what our *svyatoi otets* said.
Some did have some basic comprehension
the norse adopted the roman writing system
Like that of a child
because nordic runes were retarded
We treat people from history like they were just apes
@retxirT you know whats really stupid
in mesopotamia
They're so retarded we basically still use a lot of them
Give them a bit of credit we can only infer so much
