they were using flat bottomed river boats to traverse the sea, breh.
if they had a proper sea faring navy they may have stood a chance.
Mongols gotta hold them soggy L's.

Still they would have been fine without the cyclone. They might have lost one or two ships, not the whole fleet

I'm not watching the video because of that thumbnail, somebody tell me who made the video a black person or somebody else. I think I know who there referring too either way.

That black bodybuilder shyt needs to die, its gay as hell and makes us look insecure. If they can cover up the women they can cover up the men.

Y'all doing damage to the black conscious by acting like bodybuilders are the only black men worth promoting, we catching too many L's because of them, nikkas going around thinking strength is everything and not mental strength either. Teaching nikkas the wrong lessons in an educational video.

the landscape, weather and climate dictate how any conflict plays out. so many examples of this.
famously, Napoleon's campaign into Russia getting the cold shoulder by old man winter, ditto for Hitler.
overcoming these obstacles with proper planning will be a shock to any enemy. Hannibal traversing the Alps is a great example.

the Mongols were also stopped twice by their failure to master the seas. they got the OG Kamikaze wash twice...

i agree that the homogenous nature of modern militaries is not as interesting as seeing to alien cultures clash but it is what it is.
all we have to fawn over now is Havana syndrome.
Nope. Just finished reading some great info on the Mongols and I think they were a bit overrated. They never really penetrated Africa like that and they only get alot of credit cause they ran through China and Europe. That horse arrow shyt wouldnt have worked in Africa.


That being said, honestly the superior physicality of the Africans is what allowed them to be free for so long. Europeans had to meet and strategize as a unit in order to finally conquer the people.


Africans have always been doing their own thing since ether fall of Egypt.

Mongols overrated?

full


true, the Mongols never successfully invaded Africa but they also never invaded England.
not taking away from the robustness of the typical African soldier but that is not the sole
reason for escaping the wrath of the Khans.

first and foremost; distance. Mongolia proper is mad far away from Africa. in between the
boarder of the Mongol Empire and Africa is the Arabian peninsula and three seas. as i said
before, the Mongols don't fukk with water like that.

there was also a civil war going on within the Mongol empire at the time they reached the
Arabian peninsula and largely pulled back leaving viceroys to oversee their shyt.

and of course time...the Mongols ran their course. 162 years is all they had in them.

:yeshrug:

but to say they are overrated is ignorant and disrespectful.

So in your mind England is on the same level of Africa in regards to conquest? That says all I need to know about your mindset.

mongols tried to head south and got fukked by the Muslims. Ultimately they’re overrated.

i'm not equating them in anyway other than the Mongols didn't get there.
also, act like the Mongols didn't sack Baghdad.

Kandakes were amazing. Entire female lineages of rulers that heralded golden ages. There’s so much women’s history that gets left out and distorted. I was deep into anthropology circles in undergrad when professors used to talk about anything that was black or female gets washed from the fabric of time.
People still are shocked at how powerful women were in Ancient Persia as well.

The way I see it:

Rome pulled up and took some shyt. didn't want to go further cause they knew they would lose.

Then the Queen of Nubia/Kush pulled back up for ALL the smoke.

Rather than fight the queen, Rome said 'yea we don't want the smoke, lets start a co-op' AND here's some extras to further show we don't want them problems.

:wow:
Rome didn't want an Afghanistan situation so I don't blame 'em:hubie:
