  1.  @rotwang2000  Well, it works out decently for the people working in the truck and drive train facilities 😉

  3. Pretty much everywhere in the ancient world was terrible.

  4. The bit about armor and firearms. Tell it to the Polish Winged Hussars. Or French Curriasers (sp) in Napoleon's Grand Army.

  5. ​ @guidedmeditation2396  To which she will pay not the slightest attention. IMO trying to attach yourself to the achievements of people 2000 years or more dead is dumb. No matter who you are. You can be proud of your ancestors achievements. But they are NOT YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS. If Jada wants an epic tale involving ethnic Bantu how about one involving the Bantu kingdoms of West Africa or the great migration of Bantu peoples from West Aftica into Southeast and Southern Africa. But that might smack of colonialism.

  6. Logically he most likely looked like a generic Jew born to Jewish parents (we'll leave aside the divinity of his birth) who were of Jewish ethnicity. In the end it does not matter one iota. What matters is the message.

  7.  Billy William  as stated in the video skeletal remains from 1st century judea most closely resemble modern Jews in Iraq. But in the end does it matter.

  9. Oscar Meier bolanga has nothing to do with Mortadella. The worst Ametican pronunciation of as n Itslian word is Eyetalian

  11. Evil? By who's standards. By our standards yes they were. By the standards of their time? Slavery wasn't uncommon. It was more the norm. If they were evil I think it comes out in their entertainment. IE the Games. When it comes to entertainment concerning Rome I think my favorite are Lindsay Davis's series of detective stories set in late 1st century Rome. These feature Marcus Didius Falco and his adoptive daughter Flavia as the main protagonists. While the print editions are worth reading the audio editions are great. Aside from the British accents.

  12.  @lucarod8877  It is my understanding that the Romans tried as much as possible to rule through locals. Yes the legions were always present as Rome's fist but as long as you paid your taxes, trade flowed and nobody caused any trouble it was no problem. If Jesus posed any kind of threat to Roman rule in Judea it was as a potential focal point for rebellion. Which one does not see in the Gospels

  13.  @ThxGod_ItsOver  Arctic peoples in Asia and North America have higher menilen levels that Europeans and are almost always clothed year round. Yet they have no problems with vitamin deficiencies (in the normal cultural diet) due to that diets inclusion of organ meats and fat.

  14. Quit calling the prey "game". The prey were both a food and material resource. Also I'd be willing to bet prior to domesticating canids Humans hunted wolves both for fur and to eliminate a competitor.

  15. @gurugurukuma  To me people calling species that are hunted game sounds more like modern sport hunting. I don't have anything against hunting as long as the animal is used for food. But hunting just for a trophy to hang on the wall. No, l don't like that at all And in my life I've eaten Pheasant, Rabbit, Ducks, Goose, Venison, Racoons, Elk, Moose, Bear and lots of fish.

  16. I wonder if gunpowder originally came from either alchemists or magicians messing around with fast burning powders to create smoke effects.

  17. Did any Roman ships reach the Americas? Or any of the other classical cultures? I suspect that occasionally one storm tossed vessel did. Perhaps one or two a century. But as others have stated the crews and passengers were likely dead. But some of the odd finds over the years could have come from other sources. IMO the first Europeans that reached the Americas and made it stick after the Norse were either Basque or British cod fishermen from Bristol

  19. While I have serious doubts about the Shrouds authenticity as I understand one of the inquiries in to it found pollen grains consistent with 1st century Judea.

  20. No tomatoes, no pizza. 🤔 At least no late deliveries, cold pizza and snotty drivers.

  21. You can take a certain amount of pride in things your ancestors accomplished. Just as you can admit to the wrongs they may have done (1). But remember. They are not your personal accomplishments. Nor are the wrongs they may have done your personal responsibilty. 1) Never fall into the trap of judging the past entirely by your own person morals or the standards of your time. Or of your society. There are things that were done in the past by societies and individuals that may well have been seen as morally right by their standards.

  22. Now let's here his opinion on American lasagna. It's all what you're used to.

  25. A film company has an absolute right to race swap or gender swap roles if they want to. We the viewer have an absolute right not to purchase tickets to see or pay for a subscription service showing the film.

  27. Where do castles come from? Castles are Us.

  28. The producers of this dumpster fire (and a few others) have an agenda. That's my opinion. Of course prople who disagree can always point to films made in the past that feature almost exclusively actors of European origins as trying to push a narrative. But l don't remember anybody trying to claim Cleopatra, The Egyptian, Land of the Pharohs etc are documentaries.

  29. The spice trade. The real societal driver behind the Age of European Exploration

  30.  @obadiahspong2300  Don't you know the Vatican Secret Archives hold all the secrets of the Illuminati, conclusive proof of UFOs and Aliens (along with complete engineering specs), the recovered treasure of Oak Island, Willian DeVere's outlines for Shakespeare's plays or anything else the conspiracy whack jobs can dream up.

  31.  @obadiahspong2300  Well, they can't really read their own language really.

  32. Damn straight. Putting pineapple or spam on pizza is just soooooo wrong.

  33. If a medieval meal has lentils in it. It sucks totally IMO.

  34. This is just stuff we know about. I suspect in early farming villages the path in front or leading to something had a name relating to it.

  35. That's a multigenerational thing it's the Simpsons. There are kids today whose grandparents watched the Simpsons.

  36. Another point of how long an actual duel with swords would last is just how much is required to meet honors sake. Unarmored vs armored. The unarmored individual can run a lot faster. Feet don't fail me now!

  37. In terms of man years the metal age is probably a lot more time.

  39. Some women hunters were better than some men. And some weren't. And one learned how to ride a horse and tame a wolf. It's true. There was a whole series of books about it 😂

  40. I've had genuine style Italian pizza here in the US. The way it was explained to me is true homemade pizza is simply a way to use what you might have on hand. But that was Calabrese as most of the Italians in our area have roots in Calabria. Mainly Cozenza. The pizza in the US I really like but can not get anymore is one without sauce.

  41. Watercraft of some type have to go way back. I suspect that Homo Erectus was paddling around canoes of one form or another

  43. Gai-Jin was the last one written by Clavell. I think he was starting to slip. In order of publication. King Rat, Tai-Pan, Noble House, Shogun, Whirlwind and Gai-Jin. Clavell was actually a POW in Changi Prison in Singapore. His novels have had mixed success as films or television productions. King Rat and Shogun are good to very good. Tai-Pan was atrocious. Killed Brian Browns career pretty much.

  44. Townsends is one of the best living history channels on YouTube. Period.

  45. Street names are very unusual were l live. Almost everything is numbered on a grid. 100 years ago they allowed builders to name local streets. Hence multiple streets with the same name not connected in anyway. It got so bad the Post Office could not deliver the mail. Hence the city went to numbered streets east-west and avenues north-south. Names were reserved for highways, loop roads and diagonals. Now idiots want to go back to street names.

  49. Not related to armor. That shot (13:25) going down the cortidor with all the torches. How come in movies etc we never see the guy that goes around lighting or replacing them when they burn out. Even in abandoned "lost" tombs or tunnels. 😅 Did they run down to James the Torch Sellers shop for eternal torches?

  50.  @robertstone9988  Perhaps I should have stated that you have no right to abuse others with that your sense of being offended by the truth. If you are offended by things that clearly are wrong in a moral* or societal sense. That's a different matter. *even morality can be a slippery slope in that what may be immoral to one society may be perfectly moral to another.
