Mexicas. There was no Aztec Empire.
Plebs are obsessed with empires.
Level up and start being interested in ideologies, mythologies, languages and in larger terms, cultures.
I agree… I’m obsessed with certain native tribes cultures. It’s probably because our culture sucks and we are unconsciously searching for a better way
I wouldn’t say I agree 100% with McKenna, but he was a genius.
Terence McKenna Explains his Most Fundamental Concept “The Archaic Revival”
I won’t start writing my own version, I’d end up hitting the char limit. But I used to enjoy listening to him a lot. Still do sometimes.
Edit listening to this clip note that this is like a taped speech from the 90’s and McKenna is literally discussing memes. Back then it was just the scientific concept, not the cultural thing internet knows it as. But still. It’s around 10min

Unfortunately, quite a few guys end up obsessed with that one.
Does it even count as an empire? He had what, 5-6 years occupying parts of Europe?
I would say yes, just a very short-lived one. I’d struggle to come up with a definition of an empire that excluded Nazi Germany short of just arbitrarily imposing a minimum required lifespan. It was definitely a large, powerful, expansionist state that conquered other areas in order to subjugate them for the benefit of a metropole. The Reichskommisariats were basically intended as colonial administrations, not to mention client states like Slovakia
parts of Europe
Quite big parts
What’s the significance of the numbers?
What numbers, all I see is the years

Does Napoleon and his realm count as empire for you? Or Alexander the Great?
Do science fiction empires count? Because I got imperium of man
Yes, but unfortunately the credits won’t transfer out.
Sweet. Terran Empire it is. Everyone gets a goatee! I’m not a guy though so it may not count :(
Goatee and/ or Shiny clothes

Unofficial ruling:
Yes, they count.
if so, and we also include mangas, I am a one piece historian (and also a member of library of ohara)
(i accidentally wrote magas instead of mangas, but i am still leaving it here in brackets, because someone actually made a joke of it which gave me a slight chuckle, so do not want to ruin that)
also include magas
History is today!
sorry it was meant to be mangas
I’m glad I got included as the orange speech bubble.
Today is Chicome Coatl (7 Snake) in the Tonalpohualli. Party on nerds.
The Nobunaga and Tokugawa Shogunates.
And I’m not even a weeb. I only like, like, 6 animes. 😌
Is one of them Intrigue in the Bakumatsu?
Did you count pokemon?
Is one of them Boku no Pico? 😉
now great, what will google think of me 🙄
That’s how it starts
Thank goodness I’m too old to give a incan shit about this.
Wait… You’re only supposed to get one? Do I return the others somehow? Is there any support email or phone I can contact?
I got the Grateful Dead as a freshman in uni and have stuck with that.
I think they’re just supposed to be interests, not religions.
Caliphates still count.
Ah. The Persian empire then.
Well, one of several
The most amazing empire.
Well, that one or the Inca empire.
Sumerians. Cuneiform. Suck it everyone who came after.
Homer? Try the Epic of Gilgamesh, you posers!
Allow me to once again recommend The Fall of Civilizations Podcast. It’s excellent.
That wow looks like it’s coming out of that butt
Mongol guy’s font change has been living in my head all afternoon. Why is it only him? Why does getting the Mongol empire make him start speaking in a Charles-Rennie-Mackintosh-looking font? Like, the artist obviously likes to play it loose with typefaces in the rest of the comic too, but this one guy seems like the centre of the typographical attention and I do not understand the choices made
He was so excited about his pick that he BECAME part of the Department
If I pick the same country every time I play Civ, can I test out of this course?
I was assigned The Scythians late in life
