What do you think bros and broettes of the former glorious Byzantine Empire? Wouldn't we be better off if we create a super-state, an empire once again?

the people of the middle ages were working less hours, e.g., in France they had 180 days off. The new technology and all of these fancy and trailblazing innovations, although they have improved our daily lives, they have managed to make us "slaves" of a new status quo, a new novus ordo seclorum.

is maybe the most important language in the history of our society as a whole. Its importance is so vital, that even nowadays modern linguists, in order to create new words, especially in science, browse the Hellenic dictionary. In fact they keep grammar most of the times (in English see the...

A new dogmatic thought of matter Matter = space curvature, therefore this world that is based in materialism is totally out of sense, as space is the first thing and mass just a secondary result of human physiology. The time-space continuum is the same, single and inseparable, in the sense...

set the beginning of the heliocentric theory. As such Copernicus should not have gained that glory given that he was based on giants of the past, golden, age of high intelligence.

... as it marks the end of the glorious Byzantine Empire and the four (or even five) centuries of slavery and terror in the Balkans.

For example, in the battle of Marathon Herodotus says that the casualties for the Greeks were 192 Athenians and 11 Plataeans. Yet this is not believable by historians nowadays who increase the number to 1000-3000. One can say that this difference is quite high. My question here is this: what...
