History.

[A010110100101102]

Just to say, I can't remember the name of it, but there was a planet that, before life started, smashed into the Earth, a piece of it flew of and formed the moon. After this Earth's gravity increased thus enabling it to create the atmosphere necessary for life.

I would google it but whenever I type in 'planet crash into earth srat life' it comes up with bloody stupid doomsday theories.

I've heard of that theory as well, but, just for future reference, "Sol" is the sun.

And the big bang isn't all that interesting if there nothing/no one to apreciate the existence of the universe.

your living in this universe so... are you unapreciative of your existence?

I'm going to say EVERYTHING! all events are interconnected, so its hard to just pick out one event that's the most important.

when the world shit itself

I say WWII - it brought groundbraking changes in society, politics, science, culture and human interrelationships and interaction. I do not mean the war itself, but rather everything wich came to be during and right after it. Woman equality, racial equality, a stop to eugenics, decolonization, global stability if not peace, we didn't blew ourselves out during the cold war, giant leaps in technology and transportation, the United Nations etc. If it weren't for that BIG war, we would had 1000s of SMALL ones, European states would still fight each other, Asia would probably be embroiled in a large conflict if not civil war, fuelled by Yanks and Comms, Africa would be a playground and soceity wouldnt be so liberal as today.

I would say the United States Declaration of Independence in 4th July 1776, since it's aftermath lead to a better world (eventually) and the creation of laws for freedom for all people.

Those barbarians going to current day Germany way back when, as over the years they wanted to rule the world and began WW1.

You people are mixing history and pre-history. If the thread says "history", then it is history. That means it has to be somewhere in recorded history. So "the beginning of life" and the big bang are vot valid.

My guess is the birth of cities. It's the beginning of writing, advanced agriculture and civilisation as well, actually. So it is the birth of humanity: language, societies amd culture are what separate us from animals.

Constantine's adoption of Christianity as Rome's official religion. It's the point at which Christianity gained legitimacy and took the reigns of Western History, the influence of Constantines vision of Christianity persisting to this day in one form or another.

yes, I do believe history does mean a recorded event. But what these escapist have been saying shows ones values, Its great to read ones views of life. But your absolutely correct.

The evolution of Jazz to be honest. The Documentary by Ken Burns is bitchin'.

Did you know all the ideas in the declaration of independace were presented by Adam Smith and Anders Chydenius nearly 100 years earlier? And that the French constitution after the revolution was far more anvanced? Laws and freedom are not an American invention: The Romans gave the base for all modern western legal systems, which were then shaped by the cultural evolution of Europe, and what we call ideas of freedom were shaped by philosophers in age of enlightment, 18th century Europe. And they got their ideas from ancient Greece.

The day our lord and master created the worl... I cant type that.

The study of History, in an Academic Sense, refers to the study of Written Texts. The study of Physical Objects is Archeology, the study of human and non human remains is Anthropology, the study of the beginning of the world is either Geology or Religion, the study of the beginning of life is either Biology or Religion.

Brilliant interpretation! Thankyou

 

[Go Fighting In The War Room]

The battle of Manzikert. (1071) After the Byzantines lost that battle to the arabs, they called on western Europe to help, which turned into the Crusades. The crusaders then settled themselves in the middle east taking arab texts and had them translated to boost Western Europe's scientific research. (They also led to the Byzantine's downfall and the start of the Ottomans) That was then used for the Rennasaince ( I probably didn't spell that right.) and the fateful travels to the New World by Spain. Pretty much Manzikert set the stage of events for the past 900 years.
