history is a massive disappointment everything admirable or cool about it is either a misconception or was made up by romanticists

>is either a misconception or was made up by romanticists Still miles better than modern "whitewashed histography" made up by liberals and white people.
Robert Brooks
Go back to you videogames then. History is interesting as hell.
Joseph Harris
>dinosaurs had feathers
Litteraly who the fuck doesn't find this cool?
Tyler Nelson
>Greeks painted statues Okay, maybe the statues would look kinda ugly to us, but temples and other buildings look much better with (what we assume was) their original paintjob.
John Miller
As if videogames are bad, I like both, you are not more intelligent for not liking videogames, loser.
Josiah Green
i bet you like pizza with -allah forgive me- pineapples in it
Liam Cook
History is on videogames side buddy.
Adrian Thompson
>dragons were depicted as small and looked more like mutated dogs than reptilian mighty beasts
I actually find this variety profoundly uncanny
Isaiah Howard
There were massive serpents in Nordic legends, aren't those basically dragons, OP?
Carter Gray
>most medieval warfare was about boring sieges until one side surrendered, battles were rare
What did he mean by this?
Anthony Myers
No.
Josiah Harris
All armies were shit compared to future ones. Spartans were very good for a long time. Also vikings have always been shit anyone who thought otherwise was delusional. They just raided and looked cool but people with that heritage pumped them up because they wanted to not look so shitty.
Isaiah Jenkins
Definition of dragon: "a mythical monster like a giant reptile."
Luis Edwards
Blame it on Hollywood and the jews. People prefer cool bullshit story to boring truth.
Isaac Bennett
Read up on Hindu Mythology then, son. Shit will fuck you up with its cosmic scope spanning multiverses and astronomical figures.
Cameron Reed
Then don't study history, simple as that. Tons of people find history interesting.
Kayden Evans

I don't find it as cool when it's on a T-Rex, but I'd be lying if I didn't think feathered Velociraptors didn't look aesthetic af.
Blake Young
>>dinosaurs had feathers
Nothing wrong with that.

Cooper Barnes
That's what you get for getting meme Veeky Forums from Veeky Forums and not reading actual fucking books.
Samuel Ross
It's good your teenage views of history is finally starting to fade out. Maybe in 10 years will you value historical accomplishments for what they are: Man's triumph over nature and enemies.
David Allen
The cross of /asp/.
Jace Bennett
I've seen some drawings of a t-rex with feathery manes like a lion that look pretty badass. Or even lustrous black feathers like a cassowary. We don't depict iguanadon as a lumbering horned quadruped anymore bro.
Aaron Allen
post some interesting historical facts to counter OP >the Ming dynasty was founded by a beggar who only joined the mongol resistance when his entire family was wiped out by a natural disaster
>the lisbon earthquake of 1755 killed about 50,000 of the city's 200,000 residents. The death toll was so high mainly because most people fled the city to the waterfront since there were few buildings there, then they got caught in a tsunami. The king of Portugal developed an intense phobia of being indoors and exclusively held court outside or in tents for the rest of his life.
>during Pizarro's conquest of the Inca Empire he fought the battle of Cajamarca where 168 conquistadors with only 62 horsemen, 16 arquebuses and 4 cannons faced off against aproximately 7000 Incan soldiers being led by emperor Atahualpa. The Spanish won the battle inflicting upwards of 2000 casualties (with 5 wounded on their side) and captured the emperor alive. He would eventually be ransomed for such an obscene amount of gold and silver it bankrupted the empire, and once his ransom had been paid Pizarro simply killed him.
>in ancient greece it was expected of all able bodied citizens to defend their homeland in times of war, many philosophers, poets, and mathematicians are known to have fought as Hoplites.
>over a million cuneiform tablets have been found by archaeologists in readable conditions, and doubtless many more remain to be discovered. Tablets were made to be reusable, if simply left out in the sun the clay would melt and erase what was written, but if so desired they could be fired and turned into a permanent record. Many of the discovered tablets are very mundane records that were not meant to be fired but were nonetheless made so when the buildings they were stored in were burned down by invaders.

you must be one sad cunt in real life to be around I must say only thing good about history romans
Angel Gray
That feel when you know all norse culture was recorded in the 12th century in iceland borrowing from Christianity and other psuedo history, but you still pretend its true because you hate egalitarianism for turning modern people into unbearable faggots
Cameron Anderson
is that not true?
James Green
heh
Easton Howard
>>Greeks painted statues >probably actually looked good This desu, the reconstructions we see is probably jut the base coat, there'd be shading and stuff.
Luke Jones
>>in ancient greece it was expected of all able bodied citizens to defend their homeland in times of war, many philosophers, poets, and mathematicians are known to have fought as Hoplites. Those sculptures of lithe, well-muscled old men aren't bullshit?
William Scott
I'm sure they were idealized, many statues of athletes have impossibly large oblique muscles. But it is certainly worth noting that the ancient greeks had a greater interest in physical fitness than most. It's no coincidence that both the words athletics and gymnasium are greek.
Kayden Fisher
It's not just muscles, the clavicle on most greek statues is impossibly high.
