Are there other ancient human rights (surely in its ancient consept) documents like the Cyrus Cylinder (c. 500BC)? @DVK Noahide laws apply only to gentiles. Jews have is proper and distinct law: the Thora. Thus can't be offered to request the example what i'm waiting for. For reference check Sanhedrin Chapter 7. The Soncino edition (= Talmud Bavli) can be found here: come-and-hear.com/sanhedrin/index.html |

I don't think this is a overgeneralization. I see ever the following idea: our people and the others (Israel/pagans, Rome/barbarians etc.). Before the christianity I really don't know an example of a common project for any people that abstracts cultural differences. |

What are the factors that caused the new world civilizations to be less technologically advanced than the old world? Despite the fact that certainly China had contact with India, and India with the Middle East, this relations were not frecuent neither constant as in the mediterranean coast. Gobi desert and the Himalayas acted as natural barrier between China and the rest of the world. This situation was only reinforced with the chinese wall, and explains what little was known of those civilization until the times of Marco Polo. |

Crusades motivation When you say "positive" or "negative" you part of an specific ethical position. Depending on that position you may considering a "good" or "bad" thing some specific event. The aim of history is not to apply the present ethical criteria to past events. The aim of the history is understand processes. |

Can the new testament be a valid historical record on the real life of Jesus? Let me clarify further: is an historical fact that there was a man called Jesus, which lived in Palestina in the age of the emperor August, as the gospels says. The gospels also affirms that Jesus resurrected between the deads, but this IS NOT an historical fact in the sense that it can't be proved, this affirmation can only be taken as true for a believer. |

Can the new testament be a valid historical record on the real life of Jesus? @Luke you confuse history and revelation. I don't say the gospels prove the resurrection or any other miracle. You need faith to affirm this things, not only historical facts. What I'm saying is the gospels are a valid historical font as any other, but only in the pure human matters. History is not about miracles. History is about human facts. In this sense, the gospels are a good source to know how Jesus was thinking and behave taking him as simple man. |

Examples of censorship causing economic decline @Tom Au The spanish inquisition was founded in 1478 by the catholic kings, Cervantes and St. Therese were formed UNDER the inquisition. Also, the inquisition was present ALSO in America, thus, the emigration had other causes. |

Examples of censorship causing economic decline I don't think the spanish inquisition have had the effects commonly atributed by the black legend. Cervantes and St. Terese of Avila lived under the inquisition. The true cause for the economic shrink of Spain is the massive emigration to America. To have ultramar posessions was not profitable enough. |
