CE is literally a reterming of AD neither are more accurate as they are the same thing

OK lets go to Unix time, the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970!

Have you listened to the tides of history podcast? There is a whole section about prehistory and the oxus civilization is featured in it. It's amazing to see how connected the world was during the bronze age.

I came here EXACTLY to say Europa Barbarorum is how I know of them.

Is there a YouTube channel that explains the history and usage of different firearms? As well as showing some of the conflicts where they were used and why. I am mainly interested in the history behind the weapons,so I don't mind if the videos don't have a demonstration by the YouTuber.

yes that is what i meant

Reason based calendars! Up with Thermidor! Vive le Revolution!

At any rate yeah this supposed ‘common era’ is even less correct because it directly applies Eurocentrism to everyone with something that isn’t the least bit held in common around the world.

If using BC/AD is that much of an issue clearly we need to adopt a new calendar from zero, a universal century or some such.

Not at all. I'm an atheist, but saying that CE is "more correct" is silly.

It tries to cut ties with religious connotations but it still has Jesus's alleged birth as basis, so....

Not to mention that even the days of the week in most European languages (English included) have religious-related names (though not Christian). I'm not seeing anyone arguing that we should change the name of the 5th (or 4th, depending on the convention used) day of the week (thursday) just because Thor is no longer worshipped.

CE and AD are the same thing in practice, neither is more correct than the other. All dating systems are arbitrary after all.

The Historian's Craft also recently made a video about the Oxus civilization.

I knew about these people, you can find out about quite a few by playing historical games. There is one that shows them in it as a regional unit type, Europa Barbarorum I for Rome Total War. There's also II as well but it isn't finished so it may be missing some or actually have more idk. The game has lengthy texts from the historians of the era/archaeologists/modern historians for many landmarks, wonders, buildings, trade routes, peoples, classes of society, etc. While there is a max # of factions, they basically made all the rebel cities that are on the map inhabited by the tribes that lived there. So they are all like their own factions just unplayable but typically their units can be recruited as mercenaries or regional levies. They also patrol their territories, so they just aren't too aggressive. The most they will basically do is raid/attack inside borders. Tbh its probably the best researched mod I've seen.

alright, open google earth and go to their gps. reply with the link once you find them.

Agreed - saw this one for the first time just the other day. Oxus civilization: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRBwWZs3W0Q

I think they meant that 5-600 is less clear than 500-600 not about CE vs AD

I thought old school diving bell, with the oxygen tube

I’m actually surprised this stuff is still being found, you’d think with planes and helicopters, it would’ve been seen already.

why did I immediately think of Poptropica

No it means sperm. That's what he is talking about.
