Did you know the Greeks fought the Chinese over 2000 years ago?

Let off my lawn!

Can't locate Australia, can't spell...

Kings and Generals is my favorite YouTube channel for history stuff. They use Total War games, mostly DEI mod for Rome 2 in the reenacted battles.


Epic History is another great channel with TW stuff.

Alexander the Great Vs. Genghis Khan who
wins?

Interesting. I've heard of the battle before but didn't know that Dayuan were Greeks. I always thought they were more related to Persians. It's the legacy of Alexander the Great.

The Chinese also visited Somalia and Kenya in the 1400, close to 100 years before Vasco de Gama went around Cape of Good Hope. In fact DNA tests showed there are Eastern Africans with Chinese DNA from 700 years ago who are descendants of marooned Chinese sailors.

Dayuan (ferghana valley) were Greeks?
I don't think so. Greeks have passed there, Alexandros Megas conquered that patch, but they were never Greeks.

This is where Borat and @Cole train are from.

Clearly doesn't want to pay a fair wage.

It's not about the wage for him.
He is afraid of hiring someone smarter than hisself, to avoid takeover.

Speaks to your hiring habits.

That's why they kneel.

Could be a justified fear.

They knew how to put on a show!

@UFC,
WE ARE NOT ENTERTAINED!!!

 

[LHWBelt]

This was on my Youtube recommendation. Never knew they went to war against one another.

Who won?

Alexander the Great Vs. Genghis Khan who

Genghis easily

 

[LHWBelt]

Put down the fucking phone for an hour a month and look up some history.

I bet less than 5% of anyone under 30 could even pick out Australia on a world map. I have had maybe 50 teens work for me over the years. So far no one has been able to name all of the continents.

Too many continents. Hard to judge.

We would be buds. Kings and Generals is my favorite "show" period. When it pops up on my feed, it's an instant watch.

BazBattles, Invicta, HistoryMarche, SandRhoman, History Time (if you want more depth), Extra Credits (for a good overview), and HomeTeam History (for African history).

You might enjoy the Age of Napoleon podcast if you're interested in that kind of thing. It's in depth and great.

Lol. That's an American thing, not an under-30 thing. Young people in other countries aren't retarded.

Gotta go with the Mongols. I honestly think, pound for pound, they are (possibly) the most dominant military force ever. Taking away nuclear weapons of course. They weren't unbeatable, obviously, but it's scary what they were able to accomplish in history.

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

They also invented Homos

You ask all your staff to name the continents?
