Brittunculi
In 1973 an archaeologist digging at Vindolanda, a Roman fort in northern England, found something that wasn't supposed to survive. It was a pile of thin wooden slivers, about the size of a postcard, covered in faded ink.
They turned out to be letters. Hundreds of them, written by Roman soldiers and their families around 100 AD, before Hadrian's Wall was even built. They survived 1,900 years because they'd been dumped in wet, airless ground where nothing could rot them.
What do Roman soldiers on the edge of the empire write about? The same stuff soldiers have always written about.
One soldier gets a care package and a note telling him it includes socks, two pairs of sandals, and two pairs of underpants. Somebody back home was worried he was cold. Northern England will do that to you.
A cavalry officer named Masclus writes to his commander asking for orders for the next day. Then he adds a P.S.: his men have run out of beer, and could the commander please send some.
A supply contractor complains that the roads are so bad he doesn't want to risk his animals on them, and he's waiting on money he's owed. Logistics have always been a nightmare.
One report sizes up the locals. The writer notes the Britons have no armor, that they have lots of cavalry, and that they don't mount up to throw javelins. Then he calls them "Brittunculi." Roughly "little Brits." It's a Roman insult, and it's the only time that word has ever been found anywhere.
But the most famous one is a birthday invitation.
A woman named Claudia Severa writes to her friend Sulpicia Lepidina, the commander's wife at Vindolanda, inviting her to her birthday party on September 11. A scribe wrote most of it. At the bottom, Claudia added a few lines in her own hand, telling her friend she'll be waiting for her and calling her "my dearest soul."
That scrawl at the bottom is believed to be the oldest surviving example of handwriting by a woman in Latin.
Two officers' wives at the end of the known world, a long way from Rome, trying to get together for a birthday.
The tablets are now at the British Museum. In 2003 the British public voted them the country's top treasure.

No, it’s not. Jesus preached that not one stone would be left upon another. That’s exactly what happened in 70 AD when the temple was annihilated for good. Are you calling Him a liar or are you just naive and have your mind warped by antichrist jews?

I got @Starlink last week for $130 a month. I spent a full day getting it installed and all my devices working with it. I get an email less than a week later saying my plan is increasing to $156. You're telling me you offer me a plan, make me drill holes in my home, and then raise the price less than a week later? Even Comcast doesn't do that. I have options luckily, but this is so disappointing.

Go back a little further, and you’ll see that early historians were right all along, that the Scythians settled Scandinavia after they moved or were driven from the Caucasus and surrounding areas.
Roman historians were getting Scythians and Sarmatians confused as they occupied the same territory in Eastern Europe / Western Asia, so they began referring to the “genuine” Scythians as Germani (or Germanic tribes).
Prior to that, while the Greeks referred to them as Scythians, the Persians called them Sakka, the Babylonians called them Gimiri, and the Assyrians called them Gamira, from Bit Ghomri/Khumri, or House of Omri. Gimiri is also who the Greeks called the Kimmerioi, or “union of clans/tribes”, which we know of as Cimmerians (or Western Scythians, who also migrated through modern Turkey into Europe).
House of Omri were who the Assyrians referred to as the people of King Omri who built the capital city of Samaria, the tribes who King Shalmaneser conquered and deported in 722BC, placing them in an area south of the Caucasus Mountains, where they later fled into the Caucasus and surrounding areas after the fall of Assyria.

I didn't believe in Pizzagate at all until the dude came in, shot the computer, surrendered, and then the judge (Ketanji) on his case ended up on the Supreme Court.

This is even worse than the I-V-vi-IV mind control chord sequence. This just goes between TWO chords, a relative major and minor.
That means the chords use the SAME notes of the SAME scale.
There is NO journey.
This isn't even music, this is actually dangerous soul-sucking slop.

I still sometimes think back to a college class I took on Native American history. Our first paper was to explain what it means to take Amerindian history seriously, and every single person in class (all libs) wrote about museums being owned by tribes. I was the only one...

Oral history always contains some truth. So many people hear things like creation myths and immediately default to “fairy tale,” instead of realizing they are talking about their history that none of them remember but that all of them know. All history should be taken seriously.
As a native, I'm just gonna like all these posts. the museums mean nothing, no white will fight to help a rez.
The one thing we value the most is our history and our stories even other tribes find value from others story's.
This was one way we passed down knowledge and training as well. This is why it use to be hard to find a native that would lie. Words in some way where a form of currency.

For those curious:
Black World - their original homeland in Siberia
Blue World - they traveled by sea to the Pacific Northwest and fought Amerindians already there
Yellow World - through the Rocky Mountains and Great Plains or the Great Basin
Golden World - the Navajo Nation

“land mexico lost to the united states”
as a student of latin america for over half a decade in university, im so fucking sick of mexicans, and really spics in general, not knowing their own fucking history
hmmm, how did mexico “lose” this land to the united states? well, there was this whole big deal called the mexican american war. the united states elected the most ridiculously based and still top 3 president of all time james k polk who is the only president to ever accomplish everything he set out to do, did it in a single term, and refused to run again.
he instigated a war with mexico that the united states won so ridiculously easily while begging mexico to “stop hitting yourself” because mexico kept declaring war on itself and its military leadership was so ineffective they could only beat ~250 americans in a fort once with well over 2000 men with the us casualties being those ~250 and mexican casualties being 1000-1600.
anyway, the us military casually walked down the length of mexico to mexico city from the north and demolished the forces of veracruz like it was a tuesday in a invasion from the gulf. the converged on the city and felt so bad for defeating mexico so hard that they STILL paid mexico for the land, especially as a way to try to maintain good will with mexico and so that they forfeit their claims to all the american southwest territories.
the most annoying part, however, is the idea that there were all these “mexicans” who were “crossed by the border” after the mexican american war. the population of the ENTIRE REGION when it was part of mexico was an almost entirely white texas of over 100k white americans, 50k spaniards in NM and AZ, and 6000 people in CA, NV, AND UT COMBINED. the rest of the territory was occupied by virtually completely autonomous amerindian groups with absolutely no connection to mexico.
so i rest my case. the entire idea of the “mexican southwest” is a recent invention by pan-latino university professors (plenty of whom i knew in university) who are largely anti white and are huge latino history historical revisionists. there never was a “mexican” southwest, as mexico virtually never made any effort to settle nor administrate the southwest in any way.

EVERY single white European descends from endless major historical figures. The pedigree collapse guarantees it.
When people say “YOU didn’t build this nation or civilization” trying to deny it as your birthright and dismiss your pride in your race and heritage you can genuinely say “no but my ancestors did” because they actually DID.
Every single Western European is descended from Charlemagne, another reason he’s called the father of Europe. Same with Clovis the founder of the Frankish empire from which Charlemagne’s Carolingian Empire later arose laying the foundations for France. Due to dynastic marriages every Western European would be descended from Englands Alfred the Great as well.
Every single English person and American, Canadian, Australian, New Zealander, or anyone else anywhere else with English ancestry is descended from William the Conqueror in addition to Alfred the Great. We all descend from Edward III, Penda of Mercia, and many more as well.
Every single person of Scottish ancestry would descend from Kennth MacAlpin who united the Gaelic kingdom of Dál Riata and the Kingdom of the Picts into Alba which went on to become Scotland. George Washington descended from Crínán of Dunkeld who married Bethóc, the 2x great granddaughter of Kenneth MacAlpin. Most if not all of us would descend from Robert the Bruce as well.
All Germans, Dutch, Swiss, Austrian, and danish would descend from the Holy Roman Emperor Otto the Great and most would descend from Frederick Barbarossa. The same goes for the major figures across European nations. You all descend from your ancient kings and queens and countless hero’s and historical figures. This is mathematically certain due to pedigree collapse.
We wouldn’t be alive without their existence and neither would our entire history and legacy as peoples. OUR ancestors built every single one of our nations and this entire western civilization.
Every single generation of ancestors for THOUSANDS of years until the last TWO has added to and passed on these nations and our collective civilization for US to inherit and likewise pass on to our descendants. This is our BIRTHRIGHT
