HG Wells outline of world history is a good place to start to learn the basics, if you're more ambitious Will Durant's story of civilization is good too.

The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire is pretty much the book about the Roman Empire, so that might be one you want to look at.

Buy high school books if you don't want to go through too much detail. You can also always buy some college books if you're interested in details. You can also ask a person in your library or find them on the internet.

Thank you. I'll check that out. Actually it's very cheap on amazon.
>>6625401
I do.
>>6625407
I could. I'm reading enough text books as it is though. Generally tech books though
>>6625414
I don't know if I'm hardcore enough
>>6625417
I don't want those things

>>6625401
This might not be the best to start with if you have no historical background knowledge.

It's a podcast, totally digestible. Avg 2.5 hours long. Mostly storytelling.

>>6625449
I have very little. I took some "advanced" courses in highschool but I didn't do especially well really.
>>6625454
Oh that does sound interesting actually.

Wouldn't his workout sweat build up in his sandperson hat?

>>6625567
the hat is made of a thin and breathable material. it isn't an issue.

>>6625591
Do they put the hat in the laundry at the end of the day? Do they take it off when it's time to sleep?

>>6625401
Nope. Literary wise it's got some merits (only when you compare it to history books), but it's pretty dated and gets a lot shit incorrect. If you're looking for a serious book on Roman history, there's much better options.

>>6625608
yes. they just don't keep their hair out in public. I imagine they'd wear another to do laundry
>>6625617
any suggestions?

>>6625715
What happens if somebody happens to see them without their hat, say, a neighbor looking into their window?

You must gather your book collection before venturing forth.

He has a six episode series I'm doing right now on WW1, and it's fantastic.

>>6625732
nothing
>>6625741
:)

>>6625748
If nothing happens, why not ditch the hat altogether? There are no consequences apparently

>>6625756
They want you to know that they are devout men of god (special snowflakes) by burdening themselves with maintaining their inconveniently long hair, even though one of the tenets of Sikhism is no false spirituality, which this clearly seems to be. Or maybe they just like hats.

>>6625865
The elders of sikhology should have a meeting then where they address being in the 21st century. Those hats have fallen out of fashion and seem very impractical (i.e. working out, going to the beach). Perhaps pic related would serve as a better indication of spirituality in this day and age.

Any solid work on the Silk Road.

Yea, I heard the owner was arrested recently.

It's true that it doesn't use a contemporary ideological framework

>gets a lot of shit incorrect
No, it doesn't.

>>6627272

Didn't anyone inform you that you can not in fact BARRAGE THE FARAGE?

The Buddhas of Bamiyan were quite solid until they were blown up.
