- It's nice to openly cite a verse when referring to well-known sources Koran, Bible, Iliade, etc.
- The idea of "nation" before the second half of the second millennium and after that point is quite different. Nation as in nascere, in the biblical sense, denoting bloodline, is quite different from how modern nations define being a national.
- nashashmi 9y agoModern nations have a different version of national. It is more like a certificate you can apply for. By that definition, national identity is made up. The other def, national identity is carried by the bloodline through the father. But I believe that one way or another every society converges to a nation anyways. By the bloodline. When there are enough marriages several generations later.
