Education › Rasputin (the Myth Demystified) by TheSourcerer(op): 7:58am On Jun 03, 2023*

There is perhaps no man shrouded in more mystery and mythology than Grigori Rasputin.

Rasputin Born in an obscure Siberian peasant village in 1869, a religious conversion and career as a traveling holy man and healer led Rasputin to the court of the Russian royal family, where he became their closest confidant, chief advisor, and one of the most powerful men in the empire.

But as mysterious a man as Rasputin was, there was something about him that fascinated and repulsed, even during his lifetime. As a result, media both home and abroad used him as a handy weapon to push their own agendas, leading to him becoming the most hated man in Russia and his assassination in 1916. The stories spun, ranging from exaggerations of the truth to the outright fictitious, have become so commonplace that they are still believed over a century later

True , no sane site would allow the frequent upload of mutilation and decapitation especially on a public forum , this is not historgore or heavyR , these gore post should really really stop , if it's for traffic then it's a callous way of getting cyber traffic

And yes the killing has increases by over a hundred percent since the postings of raw footages of cult killings, of course it riles up anger from the 2nd frat who on a normal would not see such gory scence
So yes the killing posting has done more harm than good PLEASE LETS BOYCOT CULT KILLINGS VIDEO POST

We used to only hear of cult killing now we see and experience these killings all because of traffic

Education › Re: The Bizzare Story Of Bernd Brandes(historegore) by TheSourcerer(op): 8:25am On Jun 02, 2023

Is it really murder if he wanted to be killed?

The court ruled that Brandes was not in a sound mental state when he made the decision to be killed and eaten, and that Meiwes had manipulated him into going through with it.

The case was the first of its kind at that time as far as I know, so I reckon they handled it how they knew best.

To be honest, I agree with their verdict.

What’s to say what he would have done if he was unable to find a willing victim? Unwilling or not, this was a very depraved crime which received a lot of public attention, so it was a good decision to bring down the full hammer of the law on him to deter other sickos. He had the intention to kill someone -> he deliberately made that happen. It’s murder.

A beautifully written comment , plausible too

He eventually ended up cutting Brandes' throat when he grew tired of waiting.

All of this was recorded on a four-hour tape. I pity the investigators of this case.

Over the course of ten months, Meiwes ate the body which he had stored in his freezer.

He was arrested in 2002, found guilty of manslaughter in 2004 and sentenced to eight and a half years in prison.

The sentence was later overturned .

He was retried in May 2006 and found guilty of murder. He is now in a prison in Germany, serving his life sentence.

They made arrangments, and met up at Meiwes' house. Meiwes drugged Brandes, then tried to bite Brandes' penis off (at his insistence).

Meiwes eventually cut off the penis with a knife and fried it with garlic and other spices. They both then tried to eat the penis, but by then Brandes lacked the energy to even chew it as he was losing strength and consciousness due to blood loss.

Meiwes then put him in a tub of hot water to make him die more quickly.

Good morning and hope you remember to meditate today

The bizzare story of Bernd Brandes is a truly weird one , one I hope would be the last sort of thing to ever happen in human history , but then again history always repeats itself

Bernd Brandes to put it as mildly as possible, he volunteered to be cannibalised.

Through shady sites on the internet, he met another incredibly disturbed German individual named Armin Meiwes who was looking for someone to eat.

What a sad testament to how terribly our education system has deteriorated.

I heard they stopped teaching History in schools for some years now.

That's why we have this embarrassing caricature of an African disgracing himself here.

How brainwashed to self-hatred can you be to the point where even the colonialists' own media are reporting to you about your advanced pre-colonial civilization, and you're REJECTING it, saying ''No. My ancestors were not civilized, but primitive''?

I mean, it's just incredibly tragic the deep level of inferiority complex to which our people have sunk.

It's actually alarming.

it's called Negativity bias , Great Thread by the way , really impressed

Europe killed Musa, took all of Mali's gold and tagged him and enslaver, so his next generation will hate on him.
If you argue this, tell me if the benin were bad people also.
These guys bombed, killed and stole everything Benin, Dahomey, Mali, Ghana, Igbo had and termed some canibals and worshippers of idols and killers of twins. Then, they that drugged, raped our men and women are saints. They derived pleasure from african kids both boys and girls. Taught us lesbianism, homosexuality, alcoholism, slavery, you can name them but these thing were all right as far as its coming from them. If you rebel or oppose their evil lifesyle they kill you and enthrone a puppet. Then brought their Jesus, since Ogun, Amadioha and the rest were evil idols that accept human sacrifices according to them.

Wake up dumbos.

All True, the Ida mask after been stolen and taken to Europe was described as artifacts from the lost city of Atlantis sad

The walls of Benin was FOUR times longer that the walls of China and yes again the British bombarded there and stole their heritage , Lagos was bombarded similarly, they got gunpowder from the Chinese only to use it to oppress the Africans, in a way colonialism was all the way worse than slavery as it not just gives you to slaves but the people and the land.

Shame History is dead in Nigeria.
The average person has no idea how big Benin or the Oyo Empire were ......

True but you know slaves were a normal measure of wealth and power the Yorubas had what they call Eru, POWs , in fact I'll say all Dynasties Empires had and used slaves from Alexander the Great , Ghengis Khan, Sango, Atila,The Romans the Brits . So yeah he is worthy to be celebrated, he did more good than others who had been celebrated on conquests

Education › Mansa Musa(The Richest man ever in history) by TheSourcerer(op): 10:34am On May 30, 2023

Good Morning Nairalanders and hope you have a wonderful day . Today from Blackpast i bring you the pilgrimage of Mansa the richest man to ever lived est 400 Billion Dollars , one to put today's Bill Gates to shame .
Mansa Musa, fourteenth century emperor of the Mali Empire, is the medieval African ruler most known to the world outside Africa. His elaborate pilgrimage to the Muslim holy city of Mecca in 1324 introduced him to rulers in the Middle East and in Europe. His leadership of Mali, a state which stretched across two thousand miles from the Atlantic Ocean to Lake Chad and which included all or parts of the modern nations of Mauritania, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, and Chad, ensured decades of peace and prosperity in Western Africa.

In 1312 Musa became emperor following the death of his predecessor, Abu-Bakr II. When he was crowned, he was given the name Mansa meaning king. Mansa Musa was knowledgeable in Arabic and was described as a Muslim traditionalist. He became the first Muslim ruler in West Africa to make the nearly four thousand mile journey to Mecca. Preparing for the expedition took years and involved the work of artisans in numerous towns and cities across Mali. In 1324 Musa began his pilgrimage with a entourage of thousands of escorts. He also brought considerable amounts of gold, some of which was distributed along the journey.
Accompanied by thousands of richly dressed servants and supporters Musa made generous donations to the poor and to charitable organizations as well as the rulers of the lands his entourage crossed. On his stop in Cairo, Egypt, the Emperor gave out so much gold that he generated a brief decline in its value. Cairo’s gold market recovered over a decade later.

Upon his return from Mecca, Mansa Musa brought Arab scholars, government bureaucrats, and architects. Among those who returned with him was the architect Ishaq El Teudjin who introduced advanced building techniques to Mali. He designed numerous buildings for the Emperor including a new palace named Madagou, the mosque at Gao, the second largest city in Mali, and the still-standing great mosque at Timbuktu, the largest city in the empire. That mosque was named the Djinguereber. El Teudjin’s most famous design was the Emperor’s chamber at the Malian capital of Niani.

Mansa Musa’s pilgrimage boosted Islamic education in Mali by adding mosques, libraries, and universities. The awareness of Musa by other Islamic leaders brought increased commerce and scholars, poets, and artisans, making Timbuktu one of the leading cities in the Islamic world during the time when the most advanced nations from Spain to central India were Muslim. Timbuktu was clearly the center of Islamic Sub-Saharan Africa.

Timbuktu was clearly the center of Islamic Sub-Saharan Africa.

Musa’s pilgrimage to Mecca brought Mali to the attention of Europe. For the next two centuries Italian, German, and Spanish cartographers produced maps of the world which showed Mali and which often referenced Mansa Musa. The first of these maps appeared in Italy in 1339 with Mansa Musa’s name and likeness.

Mansa Musa died in 1337 after a twenty-five year reign. He was succeeded by his son, Maghan I.

Wow really. This is why nigeria can never move forward. Bros theres something called forensic evidence. When you go to prison you will see alot of people that are wrongly convicted. So if you are a judge you would sentenced this guy to jail just because the phone of the deceased was found in his possession. What you've simply done is discarding all possible scenarios that could have resulted to him being in possession of that phone and sentence him to jail.

he showed the authorities where the corpse was this alone is physical evidence , including the phone holding , if he were innocent why not notify anybody of her body in his shallow grave makeshift? Even pastors and imams have never in history spiritually helped discover a dead body , only the killer knows where the body is .
