>>149361756
tbf the pyramids are actually built in deserts, although they aren't as far from the nile as one might think

>>149361721
excuse me for googling it and automatically fixing the spelling. there are ZERO results, blank fucking screen, for 'heidi @heytherenerds' and I've never heard something given in this format before. you want like a 'dot com' in there somewhere.

>>149361810
Of course the pyramids are near the Nile!! All Egyptian civilization was/is! They didn't just take a billion tons of limestone a million miles into the Western wilderness. The Nile was the main transportation of the bricks in the first place! The pyramid complex had a manmade canal.

I wish there was a way we could flood the desert from the sea. Imagine.

the gold tip is a myth, the only pyramid tip ever found was made of the same outer casing stone as the rest of it, though it was decorated with hieroglyphs.

and desu, you'd need way the fuck too much gold for it to be visible at all, that white limestone is gonna blind the fuck out of you in daylight anyway, it's impressive enough.

About Aztec Empire is a (mostly) historically accurate telling of the first contact between Cortez and the New World, and how he helped to destroy the Aztec Empire alongside his Mayan allies. Every chapter ends with a lengthy glossary going over their sources. It's a real passion project.

Iwasn't expecting such a hassle, it's a bit of a shame the website they used to host the comic got wiped out, the best way to read it is download the comic (muybridgeymarey.zip) from "archive_subcultura_webcomics" on archive.org, it does contain all the footnotes and the like, so there's that, it's not the worse I've had to do to read a comic either

Attila Mon Amour - Mr. Rape made a comic about Attila's invasion, contains rape and torture.
Passengers with the Wind - It's the memoirs of a young woman with a complicated family history, who ends up in Louisiana as part of reporting on the triangular trade for the Freemasons.
Companions of Twilight - effectively a hella trippy dark fantasy comic, but it's largely about Bourgeon bringing Violet Le Duc's art alive in a comic.
Giacomo C - titular guy's adventure in Venice
Lilith - future humanity sending a time-traveling assassin back in what very clearly is their attempt to kill Earth forever, at a spiritual level. The individual books are basically random movies the artist upgraded to be more historically accurate.
Sambre - teenagers of the July Monarchy being fucked over by early racial theories and inheritable mental illnesses.
The Hidden Face - a young Italian finds himself caught up in the Ethiopian resistance.
The Masters of the Barley - family drama about a Clan of beer brewers.
The Seven Lives of the Falcon - take Zorro, put it into late 16th century France and make it REALLY FUCKED UP
The Throne of Clay - everybody likes the Hundred Year's War.
Muraqq is nice to look at, but it never got any more issues, I think.

>Any good Historical comics?
The lawcomic, mentioned in the other /co/ history thread, has quite a lot. It has long history sections for where legal principles come from, like the right to remain silent going back to medieval England. It is now doing a history of government from the first humans to now. So far it's covered "state of nature" homo sapiens through tribes, city-states, priest-kings, ancient Mesopotamia, ancient Egypt, the birth of Judaism/monotheism, and now it's in ancient Greece. I'm more of a history nerd than a law geek, but I highly recommend it.

>>149369697
Should have included a screenshot. Here's the first page in its Egypt section.

In your opinion. how far back do you have to go for something to be historic?

>>149369788
Faxes from Sarajevo is a historic comic.

>>149361730

It only makes sense they'd build in the desert. What a waste of perfectly good arable land to build where it's green. That's valuable real estate. The pyramids were tombs, tombs don't need water or arable land to be tombs.

Egypt is basically one of the only good civilizations, but unfortunately their civilization ended 2000 years ago and modern Egyptians have no continuity with it. Genetically they might have some descent from the Egyptians, but culturally they are a totally separate people.

Egypt's original, pre-Roman culture was spectacular in its longevity. China wishes it could have that kind of continuity between dynastic successions.

>>149371399
Really? My ancestors were shit-caked bog people and I find it absolutely hilarious that they somehow built the largest empire in history.
I imagine most people from other savage-descended cultures feel similarly.
I find the butthurt generally stems from people whose modern cultures are way behind while their ancient ones were pretty advanced for the time.
>>149371582
>Genetically they might have some descent from the Egyptians
Pretty much just the Coptic minority.

>>149371627
Anon you obtuse dickhead, the top image is mirroring the 'lighting' of the desert, reflecting the yellows of the sand and sun onto her skin, the bottom is meant to be a dark, grey snowstorm, so she's in shadow, and thus looks browner.
This is really basic shit right here.

>>149371689
The fucker is complaining that he sees the top character as having epicanthic folds common to the asiatic people. Do you really think him intelligent to understand wavelengths of light reflecting off of colored material can shade objects in different hue?
He's here to get mad about the imaginary brown people who live in his head and he's not going to let facts get in his way.

All conflict stems from resources, if the Middle East suddenly gains a Great Lake sized source of Freshwater, there'd be more resources to go around.
Once the fallout clears out anyway.

>>149361675
What version of Earth do you come from?
Because it does not say that in the filename from this Earth.

>>149374727
Or, there would be more resources to hoard and fight over. The existence of more resources doesn't mean that everyone gets a slice of the pie, it just means the pie is bigger for whoever claims it.
And this is ignoring that some of the bloodiest wars in history had nothing to do with resources.

It's pretty much due to their ancestral diet of sea mammals and fatty fish, both of which are rich in Vitamin D. Usually, humans only require exposure to sunlight in order to catalyze its production (paler skin facilitates the absortion of UV radiation in northern latitudes), but it can also be obtained through certain foods. That said, using the latter as a main source (like the Inuit do) is quite infrequent.

>>149371399
kind of sad, I genuinely believe civilisation was bad for humanity on an individual level. Farming civilisation requires a sort of alcoholism induced domestication of humanity into an unhealthy sort of bugmen with a primarily grain diet and slavish devotion to infalible priest kings. I dont view egypt, mesopotamia and the mesoamerican as that different from north korean mega skyscrapers. early farmers spent a long time having no population growth until animal disease resistance and domestication cause an explosion in population that leads them to a genocide tier population replacement of their regions.
very few people have taken up agriculture willingly, civilisation's a population bottleneck. Individualism is higher among hunter gatherers who practiced horticulture like the amazon people and the pacific northwest fisher tribes, /k geer queers who believed the idea of working for someone who's getting much more than you was a sign of mental illness, they would never organise an a level greater than tribes and coalitions of tribes.
If it weren't for civilisations outskirts producing pastoral herders, individualism would have died out. Tracing your ancestry back to these people is nothing to be ashamed of, your ancestors were like genghis khan, not the bureaucrats who wrote poetry about uniting china but didn't believe the military was worth their time.

Do you ever wonder how this people even archived all of these ancient histories?

>>149376553
There’s no need to wonder Anon, we know how they did it. The same way we do, with writing and art. You can go to a bookstore right now and buy books written thousands of years ago by Herodotus or Julius Caesar. You can go to a museum or a historic site and see the statues and artefacts that commemorate historical figures and events. How else do you think we know?

It’s harder to figure out what happened before RECORDED history, since people without a written language pass stories down by word of mouth (which is obviously subject to embellishment or outright lies) and at that point we have to rely mainly on the archeological record. It’s also why there’s so much disagreement about early human history (see: religion) but not so much after people start writing stuff down.

Fuck are you talking about? There are like 4 just in the main hall at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

But to be fair, there isn't evidence that the Pyramidion of the Pyramid of Khufu was gilded or covered with sheet metal, the evidence we have of that practice is from the 5th dynasty on, in the form of tomb scenes and texts.

To be fair, it was conventional in ancient Egyptian art since the Old Kingdom to depict light-skinned female figures as (literally) yellow, so at least that detail is historically accurate. The palest ancient Egyptians presumably lived near the coastlines, where more admixture between North Africans, Near Easterners, and Southern Europeans is likely to have occurred.

>Tlaxcalans and others, anon, the Mayans were completely separate from that area and were contacted by Pizarro
As >>149379973 says, Pizarro's expedition was in Peru and lead to the fall of the main Inca state (though there was a reformed Inca state which continued to resist Spanish conquest for a while, and a few neo-Inca states and revolution attempts over the next few centuries).

Also, the Cortes expedition DID encounter Maya states, you see the conflict it had with Maya states in Tabasco in the first few chapters of the comic for example. But it is true that the Cortes expedition didn't really make alliances with any of them (at least that I can recall), unlike with some of the states in Central Mexico. They did get slaves and supplies from the Maya states they defeated, though, which is how Malinche joined them,
