witch-burning was something that happened in the late renaissance or early baroque period - 1600-1700AD.

the medieval era was pretty tolerant on the whole Heresy thing, as long as a bunch of templars/hospitalliers/teutonic knights didnt decide to go crusading.

Most of the heretics, like the gnostics, the albegenesians, etc were not killed, but instead simply ordered to make penance by prayer etc, and by following the "one true" church. Its only the leaders of such churches who were punished as rivals.


Also, I really hope so many posts here are would-be trolls, and not just spectacularly ignorant of history....

Is there any logical reason why you would fucking say that post is underrated? Has anybody expressed any kind of dissatisfaction or criticism at all against it? Are you delusional? Are you reading replies that are nonexistant? Maybe you come from communities with voting systems, but there is literally no way that you could know what other people think of that post you just replied to here. Maybe it's psychological. Maybe it's your own post you're replying to, like a 12 year old fucktard liking his own facebook posts thinking his swelling autism is going unnoticed. Maybe your self esteem depends on you tricking yourself into thinking someone out there thinks your post is worth something. Or maybe you are just a retard, the worst kind of retard, the one who thinks he's smart, the one who thinks he's the only one to have gotten the joke, to have understood the post. Well, guess what, faggot, that post is under no definition underrated so why don't you do the world a favor and go check out what the bottom of your toilet smells like?

Some good info, but a lot of it downplays a lot of the technical knowledge needed to do some of this stuff. For instance, the tungsten for lightbulbs we use isnt just normal tungsten. Theres a very precise method of heat treatment and other chemical processes before it doesnt just heat up and break when a current is introduced.

Ive got an EE degree so a lot of this stuff I could build from knowledge anyway. So, the best tool would be something to inspire fear and strike terror into the hearts of people. Once thats done I could recruit an army of pesants while claiming to be a god. Once that is done itd be as easy as manipulating them to do my bidding.

Hence, this all leads back to the AK-47 with a 150 round drum mag in my closet.

at 1000AD, japanese and european steel smithing are almost identical in technological ability. European pattern-welding is at its technological and artistic peak, as evidenced in the frankish and scandinavian blades.

By 1100, european steel-making has passed japanese with the development of the blister steel bloomery producing larger quantities of homogeneous steel and the resultant decline in pattern-welding. Japanese steel-making remains almost unchanged from that date till the 18th century.

Wootz, or Damascus has some significant points - it is harder, for instance. but its also exceptionally difficult to work, difficult to source (and by 1000, the old trade routers were drying up - Ingelrii blades are replacing those marked ulfbher+t, and homogeneous steels are starting to appear that are the match for Wootz.

In objective terms, the performance difference is minimal between the two (regardless of what that hysterically over-hyped Nat Geographic documentary may have claimed).

Wootz is a very, very good steel, but its not a singular game-changer, one vs the other.

No, the spices are to trade for money.

A bag with packs of cloves costing say, £30 today, would be worth the equivalent of about 30 MILLION in the 10th century. £10 worth of peppercorns would be worth the equivalent of about a hundred thousand pounds.
And £100 of Saffron would be worth millions too - possibly literally priceless in some parts of europe.

That rucksack would be sufficient to set you up for life in the very best home money could buy - it would pretty much finance the building of a palace.

No i'd stash the video footage in King Tut's tomb. Wait for them to find it like they did in what... the 1920's? That might be wrong, but I can't remember the date.

They'd have to wait 80-90 years to play it but I could always somehow acquire paper + something to write with and explain how computers/cloud storage and all that work so they can start working on it 80-90 years in advance. Imagine the technology in 2016 if that happened.

this. World hunger and overpopulation are a myth. The population is always linked to the amount of food that can be produced. Since the neolithic the amount of km² to feed one person has dramatically decreased, thus increasing the potential population the current technology can provide for.

It's said that we're reaching a plateau soon, we'll see. I wonder if we'll find out what will cause the next mass extinction tho. I don't think we'll see it this generation, but nature has a way to deal with small issues like us. Just wondering it it'll be self inflicted like nuclear or economic war, or something like resistant viruses, Yellowstone, ... Either way we'll survive with the roaches, as we have always done.

>He's taking a modern sword back in time remember.

very true. though even a modern 1070 or 5160spec steel, for a single weapon isnt a real game-changer.
not, when you factor in that the people there have been training and using it all their life. its sort of akin to someone being handed a modern composite bow with all the pulleys and shit, and shooting against someone who's done archery their entire life, with a longbow. Superior tech without training isnt much use.
that said, that single sword would be considered an incredibly fine weapon then, for the quality of steel. But they'd probably think the workmanship of the hilt was shit.


>An odd thing about pattern wielded swords is that way more 1000AD old katanas have survived than European swords.

Without much effort, I can probably put together a list of at least 2,000 surviving swords from that date, in the national museums of sweden, norway, scotland, england, etc.
You severely underestimate how many survive.

>Europe is not a nation like Japan.

this is very true.
but japanese smithing was notably insular, while European trade was in full swing by that date, so you're getting blades from Passau and Solingen being shipped down danube and rhine all the way from Greece in the south-east, to norway in the north-west. There wasnt anything like the insularity that went on with the japanese - even island people like the british were much more connected to other nations. But I could write for hours on that subject.

The correct answer is a sausage.

Sausages were highly popular in the dark ages. Rather than bringing some random weird crap that's likely to startle and bewilder the villagers and get you burned at the stake by a frenzied mob, bring a sausage and you'll be making loads of friends right off the bat.

> difficult to source

>LOL that did keep me busy a while.

In what way?
Its a simple statement of fact: the wootz trade routes which had existed from northern India to syria, and then the Levant trade to Lombardy dried up in the 10th-11th centuries. So, for a european PoV, it was difficult to source. Hard to make a sword from the stuff, if you cant get the steel.

>The anti katana reactionaries always go around spouting this stuff.
It has nothing to do with "anti-katana reactionary". Its a fact that european metallurgy progressed over the next 100 years and the growth of use in the over-shot waterwheel producing greater heat, allowing larger bloomery steel production than that done in the japanese tatara smelt.

the japanese sword was a masterpiece of workmanship. But it was technologically inferior by the 11th C, and remained very static and lacking in technological progress over the next 7 centuries - a side effect of the very static conservative culture which emphasised rigid tradition.

actually we in the West are eating the good parts of the animal, fe. the breast and leggs of chicken. Then the rest gets frozen and shipped to Africa, undermining the local economies there by offering it for cheap. So you get a whole bunch of people eating second hand food and becoming more dependant on the West while growing in population. Maybe what this world needs is a general collapse of the West.

Hes talking about a real notebook, as in a book you take notes in you fucking mong

Tablet with an external case that has a 10 terabyte drive and solar panels in it (the case) the tablet would have the best speech translating program avaible now, a pdf reader program, ability to use the hard drive in the case and the hard drive would have blueprints, schematics, etc etc on it and then I would start using the information to amass fame, but be known for strategic defenses that no one dare be able to get through. Once this is done use the wealth I have amassed via giving basic knowledge out to allies to form a advance, for that time period, port to build a massive sea vessel.(the tablet has a pdf file on all record weather patterns of that time period and for the next 10 years.) Go to the Americas and start my expansive empire. (Paid an ally a massive amount of gold and all land amassed in Europe to destroy all blueprints of the harbor there and the harbor it's self) then get the people to stay at the village while I bring everything that was deemed worth of trading to the native Americans to allow us to have certain coastal spots and certain mining spots. Once that is done start to produce advance tech till I have steam engines then build steam vehicles, after that improving mining capabilities while amassing a fleet. send transport ships,armed, back to Europe to gather all peasants that want to come over (this should be the 7 year mark)and all intellectuals(mind you all armed men of mine have guns and 25-50 rounds each). After three years stop and tech the tech within 10 years of that point to this timelines tech tree of the 1950s and will start on making computers with no hindrance to all tech advances made. 5 years after that should get to this point in our time line in tech (add 10 more if medical advances are lacking) then after that have all medical researchers work on trying to make or figure out how to keep youth eternal.

And catch mad STD's from doing so. the saying "You stink of shit", would be taken as a compliment to someone way back in those days. People rarely brushed their teeth nor washed for years as it was considered unhygienic. Madness.

Of course, in certain parts of the world at that time, were more conscientious of personal hygiene

My bad, that's what i meant, the Romans discovered it from beating 'pig iron' but it wasn't perfected until iron casting was invented and a bridge collapsed(due to carbon imperfections), they identified the carbon particles in the iron and how the Romans made it stronger then put two and two together and realised that removing the carbon particles made it stronger creating steel.
