Ancient History

ITT we talk about which ancient civilization we would prefer to live in, and why. For me the obvious answer would be the port cities within the ancient Phoenician Empire, though I would completely settle for mainland Greece as well. The mythology, the architecture, the philosophy...truly the days of heroes, the days of men.

Obviously the great Black Egyptian Empire.

Phoenicia or Persia

you wouldn't enjoy it every much.

first of all, there's no internet porn for you to jerk off to and no doritos to snack on. there's no toilets or showers.

there's no regular civilians that freely choose their own destiny - you would be a shitty labourer

you'd probably die at the age of 32 after a life of toil and disease.

Da kangdomz of da KANGS

Babylonian Empire

>there's no regular civilians that freely choose their own destiny - you would be a shitty labourer
Ahh yes the good old "everyone was a serf" pleb tier view of history.

I have my semitic sympathy to Carthage, but ill go for Athens.

go ahead and tell me how the vast majorty of people living in the major cities of ancient civilizations weren't labourers. were they neets living in their mums' basements? were they baristas at ancient-starbucks? were they freelance pyramid-website-designers? I'll wait

Honestly ? I dont know one

>no toilets or showers

the minoans created underground plumbing and had toilets and showers

>port cities

Enjoy having your daughters raped by pirates.

they certainly did not have toilets in the modern sense.

maybe there was 1 communal shitter/bath house per x hundred number of people. they would have had open sewers and everything would have smelled like shit.

Sargon of Akkad didn't conquer Sumeria for this shit.

Minoans are seriously underrated

Greek Athenian or Corinthian.

They had the most civil liberties, life was centered around colonialism and trade, and people were generally healthy. I'd pull a thermistocles and become an arbitrator to suck up to the nobility.

Spartans would be fun tho.

yeah well obviously you cant live with the exact same luxuries that we live with now, the whole point of the post is inquiring as to what ancient civ we'd like to live in and the ancient "greeks" had a ton of revolutionary shit that wouldnt be replicated for centuries.

if they didnt live on a fucking volcano they would have done aight

Not everyone was a pleb. Think about the amount of people who followed the stoics around. This dude could have just wanted to be a hippy in the days the great stories we cherish were inspired.

>plebs were plebs no matter what.

Join the Army. Profit.

Ancient Egypt.

Ancient southern Gaul, before the Romans or Carthaginians

That was just one of the islands though, I'm pretty sure Mycanean Greece would be nothing without Crete, Corfu, and the rest of the Minoan civilizations. You forget the impact they had on their culture, economy, and art. Also the fact that the Mainland dialects are all derivative of Linear A.

Indus River Valley would be dope. They were ironically the only ones with loos.

No Agenda Podcast

nah mate im not disregarding their impact on greece in total, im just saying they would have had a better chance if they expanded more. the minoans were truly GOAT tier.

>the port cities within the ancient Phoenician Empire

What a filthy shitshin you are. The correct white mans answer is marching with Alexander in the glorious war to subdue all lesser brown races before the the white man and their god king.

i'd be a sea people. the bronze age is coming to an end and i'd rather not be the one getting rekt.

I would have liked to be a greek inventor / artisan in Rome

anything would be better than your current zogkikery

Oh lol, 2bh Mainland Greece is so over discussed. If you dwell into the Ioanians and other Greek tribes enough you find that Athenians were sneaky culture vultures.

The Hyper Finngolian Empire.
