> Do you think the romans "invented" christianity to hold onto power? 
That they invented Jesus himself? That's misdirection, but Christianity did eventually become the sword of Roman imperialism after Rome became Christian. 
> jews and phonecians are the same thing
Yeah, that's some more bullshit Gerry never agreed with.

 >>/37887/
Actually, they didn't really conquer Armenia but they were mercenaries there. They ruled Thrace and parts of western Anatolia however, meaning that at one point, Aragon alone stretched three continents before the Americas were even "discovered".

Can you write more about this. I mean, do we even know if jesus existed? Was not all the apostles jews? old testament...jewish. new testament...jewish.

 >>/37867/
> So Romans, yet again. In-fact, they were the ancestors of Augustus. Now you can trace that further, all the way to Troy and then to the Roman gods. 


So basically it seems that the roman gods were demons that they were worshipping. I've been doing some reading and the pattern with greek mythology, egyptian and the roman is almost identical. 

This is disturbing. 

Rome I think was just the practical implement of greek philosophy and worldview. Almost feels like it was all rigged.

 >>/39800/
> Roman gods were demons
That's what the Catholic church was pushing for 1000 years. Roman gods were more likely real people who were deified and worshipped. The whole Saturn myth with Jupiter castrating him is identical to Noah.

These threads aren't successful but...
... I saw this show, watched twice. Bretty darn good. It's about the lost Franklin expedition to map the Northwestern Passage. Some mystery and supernatural was added but I believe their real story had to be a nightmare as well.
Highly recommended.

Was all right. The problem is that it just doesn't grab the attention that much. I'm curious about the second episode and we'll see.
> it's about Mexicans escaping to the USA and female empowerment
Weren't those that emphasized in the end, so I judged too soon too quick.

Post interesting things about etymology

In Turkish the father-in-law or mother-in-law of one's child is called dünür which derives from tengri (like tenger, denger, dengir, tanrı etc) (spelled with nasal n) 

krgyz and uygurs call tengri kuday (might be derived persian hüda), they also call co-in-laws kuday. 

I always thought it was interesting.

Also the word thor or donar might be derived from tengri

Amerikáner is a hand-cranked drill, usually with a "transmission", some with two gears. Also called furdancs (from the verb fúr = bore/drill). From the -er one can easily tell Amerikáner is a word of German origin, and it means "American". After short consulting with German Wikipedia, I could not find this expression there, just Bohrkurbel or Brustleier.
What is so American about this machinery? I've no idea. Even electric drill is an invention of the (late) 19th century - and it comes from Australia. There must be something in the system how it works that compelled craftsmen to call it like that, lots of craftsmen here were German in origin I suspect it was in their slang.

Let's jump back to the river toponyms for a bit. Recently I dived into a book of Hóman Bálint, a historian who served as a Minister of Religion and Education for about nine years in the interwar and WWII era. This book offers a bit of addition to the various versions of the Don.
Dnieper = Dana-per = "rear river"
Dniester = Dana-ster = "first river" or "near river"

Maybe we could take a look at the Greek names
Don = Tanais - a Greekified form of its local name; Plutarch (or someone else using his name) called it Amazon river or Amazonian.
Dnieper = Borysthenes - the Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine says the name has local origin, and not Greek
Dniester = Tyras - also a Greekified name of Scythian origin, tura supposedly means "rapid"
Danube = Istros - in Latin: Ister; again local in origin, supposedly the Thracian word means "rapid" again.
Thracians also called the Dniester Istros/Ister, and its name is a combination of Don + Ister. I know this seemingly contradicts the first statement but these are just a bunch of speculations. It could be Ister also means "first" in Scythian. Or whatever.
These Greek names also identified cities as well, which laid about the mouth of those rivers.
Note: close to the city called Istria, there's a small river with the same name, flowing into the Lake Istria. Today a Romanian village lays nearby, called Istria.


Wrong thread.
The funniest-sounding city name I have found is Jijoca de Jericoacoara but sadly it has a straightforward Tupi composition: ji (frog) + oca (home) + yurucuá (turtle) + coara (nest). Judging from the "and" in the middle one might be a qualifier from the other. Or is it a frog home belonging/within the turtle's nest?

The Central Powers signed armistices. Were they influenced by a non-existent pandemic?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armistice_of_11_November_1918
This is a completely mainstream Wikipedia article and I see no mention of any Spanish flu that led to the armistice being signed.

> Wilson wasn’t the same man. He tired easily and quickly lost focus and patience. He seemed paranoid, worried about being spied upon by housemaids. He achieved some of his specific goals but was unable or unwilling to articulate a broader vision for a better world.
> Back in the U.S. that fall, Wilson suffered a major stroke just as opposition to the treaty by isolationist senators gained steam. He died four years later, his vision of a strong League of Nations hampered by the absence of his own country.
Based on no evidence, sounds nothing like the non-existent Spanish flu.

They stopped fighting.

 >>/39200/
It played a part in the wartime exhaustion. Just having the sniffles drops people's performance.
Also it is acknowledged superinfection killed most people not the flu itself. So were they victim of the flu, or the superinfection they suffered from? They had a compromised immune system to begin with, bad hygiene and malnourishment both in the trenches and back at home tired out people which allowed infection of all kinds. The flu itself was more aggressive tho, we know from the example from countries not at war, like Spain.

I ate dijon long time ago, so I don't really remember.
Best mustard I tasted was a horcica (= mustard in Slav) from Northern Hungary, I remember it was more greenish in color, not sure what spices or herbs were used in it. Recently I had the luck to get a jar of Colmans as I wrote in the food thread. It's different from what I'm used to, it has that nose burning quality what horseradish has, I like it.
