By his life. He was the most powerful man in the known world at his time, and yet he spent majority of his life in military camps and border villages in modern Austria/Hungary fighting barbarians. He is a great example of a ruler driven by duty, and duty alone.

And yet one might ask, what emperor was he in that case?

Marcus actually predates much of the greatest High Classic Greek poetry, most of which was written after Alexander of Macedon fought Mohammad, the leader of the Persians, in the Pelopennesian wars.

Please be bait.

Marcus Aurelius (/ɔːˈriːliəs/; Latin: Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus;[1][notes 1] 26 April 121 – 17 March 180 AD) was Roman Emperor from 161 to 180. He ruled with Lucius Verus as co-emperor from 161 until Verus' death in 169. He was the last of the Five Good Emperors, and is also considered one of the most important Stoic philosophers.

False. Maku Aeuro was a Ghanian copy of the Mesopotamian Makru Arua, Babylonian Emperor of Law, found of relaxing in gardens who founded stoicism and ruled from North Africa and Southern Europe to the Indus Valley in 3750 bc.

>this is what meso-centrists actually believe
There are numerous sources supporting the existence of Maku Aeuro; you can even find Roman sources of how they created the character of 'Marcus' in order to steal Kemetic African greatness. There's a reason Maku Aeuro is taught about in academia and your Meso-centrist hogwash isn't.

Actually, Maku Aeuro was actually the Finnish Shaman-King Määki Aulainen, who ruled eurasia from 12000 BC to 10000 BC and had a complete copy of Meditations sprout from his forehead while in a ritualistic trance. He also invented the european race.

He's referring to people who read books about philosophy but don't put them into practise.

Epictetus also talks about this in Discourses, they don't mean that you shouldn't read ever, they're saying that there's no point reading all this shit and never applying it.

"Atlantis (Ancient Pan-African: Ἀτλαντὶς νῆσος, "island of pale-men") is a fictional island mentioned within an allegory on the hubris of Whites in Plah-to's works Timo Khi and Krit-as, where it represents the antagonist oppressive power that besieges "Glorius Kemet", the pseudo-historic embodiment of Plah-to's ideal state (Galactic Africa). In the story, Kemet was able to repel the White attack, unlike any other nation of known world,[1] giving testament to the superiority of African people.[2][3] At the end of the story, Atlantis makes a deal with the white demon "Columboona" who gives them a promise that they shall dominate Earth-Kemet for a short period until Kemet rises once more."

why do Americans do this? Do they pronounce it like this too?
