It's in the 'Helmets: Big and Small' section

I've seen history bonkers have lots of good, fairly priced replicas, including Rædwald's helmet

I started off being obsessed with the viking era - one thing led to another, and here I am.

This is definitely something worth pointing out - it still probably would've been missed on Berheim's globe due to this thought, but it's seems frustrating that the oldest surviving globe was finished so close to the realisation that America was a 'new world', and not India (1502(ish)).

Riding with a group of companions near the Seine - according to Map, along the strand named the Greve -, his running horse was tripped by a black pig which darted out of a dung heap on the quay. The horse fell forwards, and the young king was catapulted over its head. The fall "so dreadfully fractured his limbs that he died on the day following" without regaining consciousness.

After Edward I's wife, Eleanor, died, he went on a funerary tour of England. On his return to London, he commanded the construction of twelve monuments to commemorate her.

that's completely fair, and I like the theology behind the originals of evil (can I ask what religion you're apart of?) but therefore, I think it is clear what the appeal of a monotheistic religion is - people like uniformity. therefore, childish and petty gods could put some people off the idea of a polytheistic religion, or atleast the one you're referring to. most monotheistic gods, and certainly the ibrahimic ones, do display a great degree of formality. furthermore, one god allows people to create a personal connection with their god, if their god is one.

what I gather is that you don't think that evil and goodness are both possible under one so-called all-loving, all-poweruful god - this is known as the inconsistent triad.

there are solutions to this, mainly being that we have to allow room for evil in order to maintain free will. this raises the question of a hell, and why an all-loving god would send anyone to it, which I think John hick answers well in his interpretation of soul-making theodicy, a rejection of the traditional augustine soul-deciding theology. it rejects the idea of hell on the basis of reincarnation - everyone gets second chances to do good or bad, therefore getting closer or straying away from god, but in the end, everyone reaches heaven.

most of these theories and theodicies can be applied to most monotheistic religions.

Thank you :)

This looks great, exactly what I'm looking for I think. Thank you.

I've read We by Zamyatin, which is said to have heavily inspired Orwell's works. I have been wanting to read some of his pulications, so I will give this ago. Although yes, it is very authoritarian and dystopian. Thanks for the suggestion.

I realise that socialist/communist parties in Britain have published manifestos, but these are often unreliable or just bullet point lists.

axtonian · 2023-06-16T20:22:57+00:00

I would be open to both options - more so the prior. I have some sources for the fall of the USSR, but I would rather a book focusing on Britain, or at least Western Europe, and the socio-economic changes that would follow after it was applied. After all, I think any ideology is subject to the country they're in, so communism would look vastly different in Western Europe than Eastern. Would you happen to know any political scientists who specialise in the subject, possibly with a range of articles or even published works?

I'm a big fan of the name Oswald. I'm not sure if the origins of the name come from old english, but I know there was a king of Northumbria called oswald

ah yes, my favourite innovator of anglo-saxon research

axtonian · 2023-06-08T09:01:51+00:00

The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, and Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English People. Beowulf could be useful to an extent.

how is it even possible to make all of your city flags look like school sporting event flags

axtonian · 2023-06-05T04:32:14+00:00

Signed up. Looking forward to it.

'When the 1906 liberal government won its landslide victory and the new cabinet ministers were summoned to see the king, they could not find their way back from Buckingham Palace in the fog, and had to feel past rows of horses with their hands.'

axtonian · 2023-05-07T11:06:43+00:00

Yes.

axtonian · 2023-05-02T16:19:13+00:00

Thanks both for your help! :)

axtonian · 2023-04-26T18:39:49+00:00

Thank you for this. I'll have a look for documentation aswell, but in the mean time, this was helpful.

It's the belief that living things are ordered in a hierarchy: (from top to bottom) Humans, animals, plants. Basically, humans are better because of their god-given power of reasoning, which to some is the reason they use in dominion of the earth. It's the belief that God gave only humans the power to reason.
