Sumerians were proto aryans and migrated north to found Rome though

>>17766856 (OP)
Does it really matter that Rome didn't invent the Alphabet, Laws, or the Calendar when the Western world still uses derivatives of what Rome used?

>>17766858
stolen from Greece (who stole it from Turkey)

>>17766895
Northern Europeans lived like the pic on the right

>>17766885
These were invented by the engineers of Dionysius I of Syracuse in the 5th century, a Greek.

As far as I am aware the hypocaust, a kind of centrally heated sauna, is the only technological invention that was uniquely Roman.

what will blow your mind is it is very likely west africans only started living in mudhuts after contact with arabs and traders from egypt ~600 AD, before that they were like Australian aboriginals and used bark from trees. There are very few sites they claim with proof of wattle in daub from before this period, and their radiocarbon dating is always to be suspected as being made up. They claim the oldest evidence for wattle and daub is Djenné-Djenno which they say is nearly 3000 years old, they also claim there was iron there as they do with all their sites, but then clarify there was only permanent habitation starting ~1800 years ago. I think it's far more likely that it was ~1200 years ago and was after contact with traders carrying egyptian goods like pearl millet through the sahel.

1200 years ago non christian northern european buildings looked like this

So non christian southern European buildings could look like this you smarmy kike

>>17767567
Point being northern europeans were the less socially developed. They were still pulling indo european practices of sending off your spare males to kill people and rape until 1000 years ago, which is what the bantus did

>>17767567
I don't think you understood the point of the post

They brought the arch into ARCHitecture. Sounds primitive, but it’s the basis for so, so, so much stuff in European architecture.

tell us more.

I remember reading a Roman history book at the library that said some Roman general encountered people with silver hair and purple eyes in the Germany area. I tried searching for this and can't find anything. Did I make this up in my head?

source?

was probably just an account of an ancient documenting an albino, and you conflated it in your head with something else. Tacitus and Julius Caesar do describe the physical appearance of members of Germanic and Gallic tribes, so maybe the memories got blurred in your head.

>>17767529
Floor heating was known in Asia millennia earlier though.

Crusades was more Venice and Genoa tired of the middle east monopolizing the silk road. Imperialist interests like this continue to manifest like with the english colonization of india, hong kong, the US's "opening of japan", colonization of the phillipines.

The main difference is that Nord raiders succeeded in conquering vast swathes of land, while their Christian equivalents were thoroughly humiliated in their own Holy Land

in terms of theoretical or research inventions or discovery, romans did not contribute much compared to other civilizations of antiquity

the romans mainly excelled at application of said sciences
they take things from their subjects, and make it even bigger, even grander, more accessible

>>17768534
>they take things from their subjects, and make it even bigger, even grander, more accessible
Yes, such as tyranny.

Auctoratii, the freemen who joined a gladiator school had to sign a document saying that the schoolmaster can treat them as his slaves (chain them up, beat them etc.).

watching people fight each other to the death is pretty cool though

I think you are thinking of early chinese accounts of the scythians which described them as silver haired and purple eyed. in reality this is because the archaic chinese words for silver are the same as gold and the word for blue is same as purple
