Probably one of the most important and influential empires to exist through history. As they say, all roads lead to Rome

So fairly often. The logistical brilliant to have such a vast and sophisticated empire back then is unparalleled

Maybe it's a white man thing - that desire to control an empire and en*lave people passed on from generation to generation. The colosseum is now reality TV like Big Brother.

Definitely not a white man thing, the Africans were well ahead of the Romans when it came to enslaving people - I don't think anyone chose Pyramid Building as their preferred career

And I would imagine Romans would have identified as Latino rather than white!

It was the Khans too that had the biggest connected empire through history and they played a huge role in the issues the Middle East still have to this day. Their population has only recently recovered from the wrath of the Khans

The people who built the pyramids were well fed, well paid and unionised. There is evidence that they withheld their labour for wage increases and were successful in their negotiations. Who’s have thought that! Obviously not the Tories who were in power back then, they wouldn’t have been completed.

The pyramid builders were doing an early form of national service.Towns and villages had to hand over a quota of young men each year to the projects.They were not unionised,they formed themselves into work "gangs" that competed against each other for the amount of work done in a day/week.There was a bonus system for reaching or beating target.

so the evidence from the ancient Egyptians themselves,surviving written records,roll calls of workers seconded onto pyramid building etc,"graffiti" from the workers inside the pyramids is all bollocks?

I always think about that era in history.. not just them the Egyptians the Persian empire the Spartans .. the Roman Empire fell when it got greedy and allowed corruption into the empire.. instead of fighting outside the empire they created the colosseum and watched men fight each other for fun drinking wine and things I can't say on here.. lost all honour and pride ..

You’re better than that Meli. Sl#very is recorded as early as 6000-2000BC. ‘White men’ were still living under a rock. North Africa is where it all kicked off, the strong preying on the weak, Africans ensl%ving Africans before even the Romans got on board with the concept. Let’s not forget the Barbary Pirates who ensl-ved over a million Europeans. Just because the Johnny come lately European empires got better at it, they catch all the shit for it.

Look at where it still happens today.

I don’t think Meli’s post was that serious but Europeans ensl*ving Africans is the first example of race based sl*very and sl*very justified by racist myths. It’s completely different. So I wouldn’t say it’s that they got better at it and catch all the shit for it

Pretty sure the Arabic spade trade was in full swing before a European set foot on the continent too

The misconception that Africa and the Middle East were beacons of peace and equality before the big bad Europeans got there is an interesting one

The "Latinos" of the era of the Roman Empire were the native people of Central and South America. Most people who identify as Latinos/as are of mixed European and Indigenous heritage but no Europeans had colonised the Americas during the period of the Roman Empire.
