How muscular were ancient warriors (Roman's, Greeks, Persians and Britons) and neo-lithic farmers...

couldn't even deadlift 1 plate

They recorded the transports and ship movements like we do now, especially made account for merchant and military ships. But yeah maybe we've just lost the arcane ways of butphucking and calling on the gods

>Athenian rowers, who were primarily soldiers.
No. Athenian rowers were from a different class of citizen than the soldiers. Mercenary rowers were quite common too.

Merchants you say!
OY VEY!

Apperntly most vikings were skinny n malnourished hence why they attacked monks when food was scarce

You're right, but it's unlikely that many military ships outside of war made constant use of these men. The more soldiers that can act as crewmen the more men you can take to battle.

People of ancient times generally weren't huge like what you see today at the gym. They probably looked like how today's runner would look with a medium build. Your post picture is probably larger that what the average soldier was.

Their diets were pretty shitty, and because of that they were a lot shorter than the average human. But soldiers tend to self-select in a way and I would imagine that a lot of them were fairly athletic.

This guy's pic is about where they were at. Then had a more lean build because of diet.

Yea it sounds pretty gay but remember the world used to be smaller, the limits of height were smaller and the rare 2m tall person was a giant of legendary proportion. The varangian guard were formed for similar reasons, vikings were seen as unusually large and rugged men who fought very well.

Vikings/Nords were tall for the time as well averaging at 5'9" and the Roman's/Meds at 5'3-4" (5'7" for some soldiers)

Imagine an entire life time of constant physical effort. They wouldn't have looked like bodybuilders, obviously, but they would have been thick and powerful looking.

They most likely looked similar to what 3rd world manual labourers look like today

Do you really believe shit in the bible when they say there sere tens of thousands niggas fighting?

The life expectancy of a Roman during Republic to Late Imperial times was 76 bruh. More if upper class.

Seth would have mogged the praetorian guard

bitch nigger mode

Truly a shame early roman imperial times could not have lasted longer. The late antiquity and early medival times truely were a shame in comparison.

Especially when you discover to what point they were knowledgeable about science and mathematics. Things like steam power and the dome weren't further explored for hundreds and sometimes thousands of years after antiquity.

I doubt their records were incorrect, this would be just everyday accounts of which ships are going where. It would also mean they'd have to have consistently incorrect records, seems unlikely

>historians exaggerating everything to make thing sound cool
What is this conspiracy you're talking about? Do you not think historians take their jobs seriously?

The greeks were the only one of these we know had an affinity for muscle building and exercise for its own sake. This was also relegated to a privileged class of relatively sedentary aristocrats as one might expect from the physiological effects of hard physical activity and semi-starvation as seen in professional soldiers.

Nigga, when the unit of measure from which these claims are derived is "a long day's voyage", yeah...it's inaccurate.

They probably weren't shredded. Just muscular. From a practical standpoint being shredded serves little purpose and could decrease stamina and vitality.

>muh joos
The fuck. Fuck right the fucking fuck off with your cringe anti semitism. No one is fucking laughing at your disgusting sense of humor. The jewish people (my people) have been the target of unfair discrimination for ages and it needs to end. This is why i never fucking come here, its such a toxic environment. Reddit is all about love, equality and positivity. Jow Forums is just the bottom of the barrel when it comes to actually having a dialogue. This will be the last time i ever come to this shithole, so fuck you you piece of shit.

I agree that's inaccurate but that's not the only record of their travels and the time taken. One that's more accurate was the travel from Athen's main harbour to Mytilene and it's recorded to be a full day's travel of non stop rowing.

Romans were 6'4 chads. Maybe your sand nigger ancestors were total cucks who were gigabeta manlets. Us true romans have always been alpha chads who crushed our enemies with ease.

>gay nigga at a pride parade getting fucked in the ass with poz faggot dick is warrior status brah
Kys

Or they fucked up their timekeeping, since they didn't even have anything decent to track time

Its already been debunked kid, give it up.

This, most were total brainlets on par with somalians. The true high IQ society was the nords.

Poor people in the third world are lean.

Warrior caste families were typically not poor.

>Warrior caste
Lots of assumptions here.

No they arent Mexicans and americans are fat as fuck

not him, but c'mon man you can provide more than just saying he's wrong

They were poor as fuck what are you talking about????

America and mexico are first world countries, I don't think you know what that means

There was definitely reliable timekeeping during the Hellenistic period

eat shit kike

>roman picture
Roman soldiers were required to be tax paying non-ONIONS'd land owning men. Auxiliaries also had high standards.

Depends when, pre-100bc or so you're right. After that is was head count, the poorest of the poor - volunteers though. By the late Empire, there are records of men deliberately maiming themselves to avoid conscription.

>America and Mexico
>first world
They sure have a lot of niggers running around the streets to be considered first world...

I think the context is assumed to be at the peak of their nation, let's not talk about their downfall or the history fags are gonna feel dejected all day

Yea you're right, but they still is. Saying America isn't first world would be like saying Nazi Germany wasn't an Axis power

Ok so first world country can be shit hole too?

Volunteer professional forces persisted until the 3rd century when free unconditional citizenship was granted to everybody and their dog, and serving in the military became largely meaningless.
Surprisingly similar to what is trying to be enacted today. >thinking.jpg

Yup, first world countries are those that were with USA and the allies, second world nation were soviets and their allies, third world countries were those not involved in the conflict.

Lmao I haven't seen such a dumb fucking post in quite a while. They raided monasteries because a) the viking age started as retaliation for christian expansionism (the last drop was the invasion of Saxony and the burning of Irminsul) and b) monasteries hoarded a shitton of wealth, not just food. Further, pretty much every foreign people that got in touch with them remarked how amazing their physique was, pretty much the only ones to shit on them were christians (surprise surprise).

Just like your fellow christians which you raped and sacked in Constantinopel? Or perhaps the countless europeans killed for muh heresies? Keep your dumb shit out of Jow Forums, go back to /ptg/ or some similar place which fits you.

Lmao calm down sperg. Everyone knows the Byzantines were active cunts, and don't fucking pretend that Europeans wouldn't have found some bullshit excuses to kill eachother had it not been for ebil krishtianity

The templarposter's sorta an autist but you're just a fag

Found the pagancuck

Timekeeping and distance measurement are much more advanced today. Not to mention the greeks were known to embellish.

>thrown out of 109 countries
>none of it was your fault

They’re still malnourished though so they would be shorter and they may be strong but they wouldn’t be muscular due to lack of food, specifically protein.

>Comparing rowers in a galley with modern sports
Are you retarded

I'm pretty sure he means efforts made with historically accurate reconstructions of the ships manned by modern rowers to recreate the approximate time it took the Athenians to make the same distance

Opposite to what you see in movies, the rowers were literally some of the best paid, best fed, and most esteemed soldiers in the ancient world. You want to see what an ancient rower looked like? Take an NFL linebacker and drop the roids while adding in farmer strength. People do not understand just how bitch-made the industrial revolution made us.
For instance, they dug up a skeleton of a 13th century English knight, and by analyzing his bones found out he had the same musculature of a modern rugby player: 6'1", 225lbs, of rape and plunder.

deus vult larpers are the highest form of cringe on this entire fucking website

wrong.
Pagancuck larpers who would have been thrown in the bog for wanting to fuck Ingvar the Twink are equally as cringy as people who would have been roasted at the stake for being bronies despite screaming doos bult.

Well this is pathetic.
You know everyone is on his side as he gives actual evidence?

its easy when all of history is just made uo by judaists. Remember, they are the ones who invented 6 gorillion and lampshade theory.

I've never seen a Jew who works to improve himself. Only thing they do is leech of others and lie.
Stay away, kike.

God.... please smite this kike

more than that now, A few years ago a jewish group was expelled from a central american country because they were harassing locals.

>I've never seen a Jew who works to improve himself.
Brother Nathaniel worked very hard to improve himself. Which is why he converted to Orthodox Christianity at the first possible opportunity and now spends his time protesting jewish culture and influence.

The land owning requirement was removed by Gaius Marius decades before Caesar was even born.

Knights would have grown up far more well fed than 95% of the population. 6'1 and 225lbs is a monster by medieval standards

Are you friends with many Jews? I've never seen an American who wanted to improve himself but I know this is just selection bias and I can't make any real inferences from it.
