Fresh chart on the Phoenicians

>read Carthage Must be Destroyed
>that part where the author talks about how the stories of Carthaginians sacrificing children was always thought of as Roman slander by historians until archaeologists actually found piles of baby bones in temple ruins

Book thread, so can anyone recommend me books for reading about the Austrian Empire/Austria-Hungary

Fucking sexy. Thanks

OP here, thank you anons. This should keep me busy for the next 2 years

ty. will also use this thread to rollout my new chart on ancient macedonia. i'll also be working charts on the hellenistic age and alexander the great to complete my hellenistic series (made seleucids and ptolemy charts so far).

but next i'll try to work on that french revolution intro chart that user requested.

woops one little change to account for the single black circles

Bump because this is actual history

>Tfw you'll never get to sacrifice your first born to show your devotion to you gods.

Did that one user ever finish the chart about the French revolution?

I don't think so, last thread I saw he said it's still a work in progress.

Anyone have a rec for a book on the HRE?

gonna post a second macedonia chart on art and archaeology

yeah still working on it. I've compiled a shit ton of books which i can put in pastebin if you want, but the process of organizing it and making a chart is a very big undertaking considering that its a subject that has a lot of good scholarship (whereas a more obscure subject has a more limited range of scholarship thats easy to narrow down)

any particular period?

...

>er by historians until archaeologists actually found piles of baby bones in temple ruins

1)Tophets are not temples, they are cemeteries for still borns and small children
2)many of those bones belonged to stillborns, so the cemetery wasn't certainly a specific burial place for sacrificed victims
3)There is no firm evidence for any of those children being sacrificed
4)There isn't any direct reference to human sacrifice in any Punic epigraphic text found

are those the only ones that have been excavated?

General History, or something thats well received

new chart on albania, of all places. enjoy everyone
ok i'll look for something gimme a sec

Just starting this one. Any American Civil War buffs read this one? Is it worth my time?

Any good books on Attila or the Assyrians ?

Some books on here would cover the assyrians i think

If this is the book rec thread, does anyone have some good recs on early American history, later American history, English history, history of the British Isles in general, general European history, general history of other relevant places in the world, American law and government, British law and government, and history of Christian sects?
The more specific ones are what I'm really interested in, though I'd like to know more of more general history, too, since America and England don't exist in a bubble.
Please and thank you.

Great 3 book series covering literally everything from the first known records to the renaissance

Here's a slide from a PowerPoint I found a while ago from a lecture from like Harvard (got it from academia.edu). A lot of the skeletons look to be prenatal, which would fall in line with the other user's claim. I know there is still a lot of debate though.

Asking again before bed.

The only ones that have been found

why none in spain or in other parts of north africa other than the tunis area? i thought there were more punic settlements than that

The jewish war by Josephus is a book I recommend to read. Though it might not go as far back as you want. It talks by King Herod the great's rise to power and then the causes of the Jewish revolt then about the revolt itself. Btw it's the first revolt(66-70 CE). It was written by an actual commander of the Jewish forces in Galilee, who was captured after a siege then worked for the Romans.

We don't know why, there are none in Phoenicia either

There's an argument it isn't a native Phoenician tradition. I don't know how legitimate it is though.

Bumps

Anyone?

Really broad stuff so probably hard to find books on the whole topic (American law itself is an epic), sorry not my area of expertise, looks like the thread is slow today

I guess I'll just make a thread, later on.

What are some books that'll make me like the Caucasus?

bump

>Ancient Egypt

I recently got Writing from Ancient Egypt by Toby Wilkinson. It's a collection of hieroglypic text that he translated and gives you a more humanistic view of ancient egypt, i highly recommend it

gonna post a chart soon on saudi arabia

Seconding Carthage Must Be Destroyed. It's a pretty good look at both recorded history and archaeology and tries to use both to make a clearer picture. It also goes pretty into religious cross-pollination and the use of gods as political weapons, which is neat.

This might be a bit of a stretch for this thread, but can anyone recommend a good book, preferably science fiction or an alternate history, that involves a mutualist society? It seems like an interesting ideology and I'd like to read about an "applied" mutualist society.

I want to read a book that goes over society and culture in America during the Cold War, any good examples?

Anyone posted the Veeky ForumsTORY MEGA yet? I feel obliged to post it whenever a book recommendation thread pops up.

Happy to see my thread still going! Thanks everyone for your suggestions and bumps.
I feel like I should buy a kindle or something just for this

rough draft chart on saudi arabia

Is there book that explains christian concepts? I would really prefer it in non-propaganda way.

I too would be interested in this. Also aside from the "propaganda" as you put it, the bible has been through so many Chinese-whisper translations and iterations I don't have a clue which version is best to read.

bump

Awesome, I didn't even know there was one.

Anybody know the best way to get books into PDF form? Like programs, etc.

I have a collection of rather old archeology books that definitely have no PDF equivalent. I want to to scanning. Also just so I can store my library on some cloud service for family and anonymous shitposting.

public libraries usually have scanners but it would take time to scan all those pages

I don't mind that, I'm in no rush. I figure a book every few weeks is fine. I just want to get my collection up for insurance and so I can have it accessible to others. It's not an amazing collection, but I've been getting rare stuff at used book stores for years.

I was also looking into using a camera. Does a scanner work well with books?

new chart on the berbers

bump

Is there a good "general european history as a starting point" book? Or is that such a huge subject that you'd have to look at separate cultures one by one?

Veeky Forums recommendations on the Vietnam War?

bump

Is there some directory with all these charts or are they just circulating randomly? Does one for India/East India Company exist?

They are all made by one guy to my knowledge. I'm collecting all the ones I find and putting them in my good docs, but not sure what % I have of them

came here to post this, It's everything you want OP rolled up into one book. It gets pretty dry when it discusses empires in the far east, but it covers everything

no i haven't made a chart for that yet

Who the fuck are you and how do you assemble these things?

>Who the fuck are you
Veeky Forums browser mostly
>how do you assemble these things?
I use my pastebin collection annotated bibliographies and I search keywords for charts i want to make. i then assemble all the relevant books and sort them into categories and leave out any that are too specialist or only tangentially related. it takes a while to make them but i like doing it because the pastebins are messy and not always divided into subjects or categories that are immediately appealing to people here. It also gives the board easily accessible lists to post in threads when people need recommendations. overall i want Veeky Forums to thrive as a board and this is my way of trying to help

the pastebin

He is the chronicler of history.

Have you made a Venice one by chance?

You, sir, are doing the Lord's work

not yet. i've collected a lot of stuff for it the other day though

Sweet

medieval g*rmany chart pls (hre)

i-i'm getting to it user

finland :DDDD

Inside the Third Reich by Albert Speer is my favorite read about WW2 ever, because he has countless personal stories of Hitler, Germany, just inside Germany in general as the war goes on. Reading that book is as close to living those years as a person can possibly get, I could even write a book on Hitler's entire personality after reading it because of Speer

medieval poland

added one book on the bottom on polish medieval armies by Osprey
