As for paleontology, I personally think it’s just a bunch of hogwash if we go further back than around 5,000 years

Ya that’s kinda what I’m trying to get at. Like Latin, Arabic was useful and so it was used.

If such Latin erased them then arguably such Arabic equally erased them. Or maybe there was no erasure but instead pragmatism 🤷‍♀️

Are you saying these folks aren’t Arabs?

But why would they have Arab names instead of names from their own language?

So peculiar.

Edit: on further thought maybe we’re ready for a lemmy ask history community. This could have been a great discussion if it started with a question about Latin naming instead of an assumption of cultureal erasure.

Hear me out, it’s a Big Sword conspiracy. They wanted to be the only weapon marketed to the cross-shaped-violence demographic.

Warrior pope you say? I think I read his biography once
