When it comes to the Mongols, I've always wondered why they didn't take out Mecca & Medina when they were razing Baghdad back to the stone ages. Apart from the Qarmatians, that was possibly one of the few chances the world ever had to completely erase this religion from the planet. Perhaps the Mongols were only interested in wealth & loot and not that much in religion. I don't really know. But a thought experiment in alternate history nevertheless.

An interesting case of ethnic Tibetan TFR. Despite all odds and all the social engineering/demographic changes being forced by the CCP, the Tibetan fertility rate is atleast double or triple that of the Han in many cases.

The Dalai Lama's revenge: the high fertility of Tibetans in China

BY WILLIAM HUANG -- Despite all odds, ethnic Tibetans, especially the 2.5 million rural Tibetans in the TAR, continue to have above replacement rate TFRs and, in some cases, ultra-high fertility rates.

The Han for some reason is very intent on breeding themselves out of existence.

My video for this Easter:

Most people have no idea that the Romans celebrated a “Death & Resurrection” festival called Hilaria (for the god Attis) during the week of the Spring Equinox which used to be fixed at March 25 on the old Julian Calendar.

This festival included a burial of a pine tree with an effigy of the dead god Attis on March 22 followed by ritual mourning and then a “rejoicing” ceremony exactly on the 3rd day—March 25th in which a priest would chant “rejoice, god has been saved—and through his sufferings we have salvation!” (Firmicus Maternus)

(Link in the comments)

Most of the sources are admittedly late—which is why so many scholars don’t talk about this.

However, ALL of primary sources from antiquity that discuss the origins of this festival say that it was instituted by Claudius Caesar in the 40s A.D.

Decades before the Gospels.

Even John of Lydia, the greatest Byzantine scholar from the 5th century who had access to tons of sources that we have since lost also tells us that it was Claudius who instituted the Hilaria.

At this point it seems clear practically every festival of the Abrahamic faiths was derived from festivals of other older religions which they appropriated before effectively stamping out those religions & wiping out all traces of those religions , their traditions & customs. Or so they thought.

If Christianity borrows heavily from Judaism, the Roman religion, Greek religion, Celtic religions & other such pagan faiths & religions, Judaism in turn has borrowed a lot from the older Babylonian religion & other such faiths from ancient locations in what's now Iraq, Phoenician peoples, the Canaanites & other such ancient peoples's faith from the areas now known as the Levant.

Let's not even discuss Islam which is a heresy of an older heresy called Judaism.

What the tweet describes is not merely Easter but the central idea of Christianity namely the Death & Resurrection of JC in 3 days. So much for JC being the Messiah who was supposed to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem & lead the Jews back into Jerusalem, when the temple very much stood tall in the time of JC & the Jews were very much in Israel & Jerusalem.

Since he couldn't fulfill the prophecy out came the death & resurrection sleight of hand, with the promise that JC would return when the time was right to fulfill both tasks a Messiah was supposed to fulfill in his first & only avatar, in the first place .

Do note Judaism doesn't believe in reincarnation or resurrection from the dead stories or rather excuses.
