[MajestikMøøse]

there are better reasons to study history than suffocation endorsements.

maurading visigoth warriors hahahaha.

 

[Necromunchkin]

If you're really a Goth, where the hell were you when we sacked Rome?

 

[MajestikMøøse]

I don't know about the rest of you, but I clearly remember myself being there with Rick Rozz in 476 wearing a kilt and excessive eyeliner.

 

[Necromunchkin]

Im gonna watch it probably, not because of the suffocation endorsement, but because that kind of thing is my bag.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

fuck, im not going to be able to watch it. I'll be playing hockey

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

oh noes!!1 the heathen army!!!

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Yeah i only watched a bit of it, but i noticed a little bit of a christian bias.

 

[derek]

In between re-writing Plato and Aristotle, Christian historians and teachers dominated the entire intellectual world for 1500 years, so anything we know from about 300AD till 1800AD has some serious bias.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Yet another reason why the Pre-Constantine world was so much cooler.

 

[derek]

I take it you know that the entire known world was allowed to become Christianised because Constantine had a dream?

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

like MLK?

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

I take it you know that the entire known world was allowed to become Christianised because Constantine had a dream?

Yup. Funny how something like that could pretty much change the entire course of history.

 

[derek]

, no. He had a dream about a cross and decided to make bestow favour on Christianity as the religion of the Roman Empire.

 

[derek]

Yup. Funny how something like that could pretty much change the entire course of history.

Yep, I'm not sure it wouldn't have happened anyways, but the Christian element to the Roman Empire by that point was still pretty volatile.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I wish I could travel in time. I would assassinate Constantine. and turn invisible and shoot blasts from my shoulder canon like Predator into a crowd of people.

 

[derek]

Appear as the edict of Milan comes into force and Predator their asses! Nice.
