Victims of Communism memorial faces call to remove over 330 names linked to Nazis, fascists

It’s Russia. It’s always Russia.

As if your own country hasn’t been filling your head with propaganda from the day you were born 🙄

Oh, but that’s different. We’re the good guys!

Why are you selectively choosing to consider only the “new kingdom” part of the whole thing? Overall it’s from 3150 BC – 30 BC

You don’t really know what you’re talking about do you? Here, look at this: https://www.worldhistory.org/Egyptian_Empire/

The Egyptian Empire rose during the period of the New Kingdom (c. 1570- c. 1069 BCE)

the ancient egyptian empire lasted over 3k years

No, not even close. The Egyptian Empire lasted from 1570 to 1069 BC.

The claim comes from John Glubb

No, there are others as I’ve already mentioned. The Changing World Order by Ray Dalio also arrives at the 250 year number. Cliodynamics and Structural-Demographic Theory suggests cycles of 200-300 years as well.

The point is Rome did not last 1,480+ years as you and the other poster claimed, not even close. Odoacer conquered Rome and became the first barbarian king of Italy in 476 AD.

The Roman Empire began in 27 BC with Augustus, the first emperor of Rome. It eventually split in half in 395 AD. The Western Roman Empire, including the city of Rome itself, fell in 476 AD. The Eastern Roman Empire, or the Byzantine Empire was centered on Constantinople, not Rome.

Forget about averages, his post isn’t even factually correct. Rome did not last 1,480 years.

The Roman Empire split in 395 AD. The Western Roman Empire, including the city of Rome itself, fell in 476 AD.

Interesting… 😂

Yes. The average life expectancy of a human for instance is a useful statistic in healthcare, social services, financial and retirement planning, etc.

You’re all worried about statistics and the poor guy can’t even read.

Cliodynamics and Structural-Demographic Theory suggests cycles of 200-300 years as well.

I wish liberals could actually read.

It’s not just Glubb. The Changing World Order by Ray Dalio also arrives at the 250 year number.

Regardless, that is the number we are interested in.

We’re talking about the average life expectancy of an empire. It’s a fairly straightforward calculation if one has all the data ready.

Thankfully, nothing lasts forever.

250 years is just a rough estimate. As an expert, what’s the number you’ve arrived at?

Least mentally deranged neoliberal btw.
