  1. Because of character limit? No joke, I think AM/PM is incredibly stupid and also mixes Latin with human speech (Anno... Momini / Past Morning or something), but it's consistent in that it takes two characters on a display. BC/AD is similar mishmash (Before Christ / Anno Domini) but it also uses two characters for era slot. Adding "E" to BC is ridiculous as it is redundant, like imagine of clock was AME / PM with UIs jumping around because there's one more character in monospace fonts that are used for dates and numbers.

  2.  @MossyMozart  curiously, Egyptians, whose 12 month 30 days calendar our is based on, HATED the leap day, and even Ptolemaics failed to persuade them to add one (they normally had 5) every 4 years. That's how Egypt's calendar was many seasons off by the time Cleopatra's lover fixed that (and we still use Julian calendar base, just correcting for leap hour by Pope Gregory, hence Grigorian).

  3. Our activity is fighting orcs, and our factory spec is being elves... What part of Ukraine I am from?

  4. ​ @brassteeth3355  okay, you persuaded me, Michaelangelo had to be an alien and carved David's weenie with a laser gun because there's no way a turtle could have made such a sculpture by himself.

  5.  @MorbidEel  do living things have eyes? Cause those are circle.

  6. The mortar and gaps in stones too... When they talk about unrealistic precision and stones you can't put paper between, that's only for the outside parts, the insides have such wide gaps you have people put cameras inside to film the builders graffiti on inside of some stones.

  7.  @JMM33RanMA  Gaza is like the one conflict where it IS actually "both sides". Especially compared to such one-sided things as Assad massacring his own people, Myanmar junta destroying local villages on helicopters or the russia... everything they do.

  8. Real Atlantis were the "Boyko towers", the oil platforms we made along the way.

  12.  @lukelee7967  I work from home but wonder if I should remove oopa to restore balance to the force and not have a tired employee walk extra.

  14. They also often believed gods inhabited inside specific idols and buildings, that's why idolatry is different from, say, religious imagery in Christianity, nobody in their right mind actually believes Mary is inside her statues – notably there are idiots who claim weeping statues and icons, but they are usually mocked. While actual pagans, considered gods living inside the idols of stone and wood. Hence Babylonian exile was so damned by everyone as Nebuchadnezzar not just took statues from the communities, but THEIR GODS. And Cyrus returned them.

  15. Problem with using the word Abjad for consonant-only alphabets is that Hebrew literally starts with Aleph Bet... Really both words mean just first letters (ABJD and AB) Alphabet really sounds closer to Hebrew (I know it's from Greek).

  16.  @celsus7979  That's also a myth. Like she said, there was no one event which destroyed Great Library, it fell into disrepair slowly over centuries much like many seen their local libraries go. So there WAS NO MASS DESTRUCTION OF SCROLLS OR KNOWLEDGE LINKED TO IT. Just lost media becoming lost in general.

  18. 21:58 Ignoring an image of human woman spread eagle proving nothing except hentai existing in both of these places, this is the spot where the pseudoarcheology links to antisemitic conspiracy. How? What do you think "priests hiding true knowledge from people" means? "Evil Rabbis". I am not making some theory on conspiracies linked to antisemitism, it's more of a game: how many minutes until any fake history turns in ~~them~~

  19.  @Les_S537  In Odesa we have Greek ruins under the Primorsky Boulevard, but also a bunch to the sea. Under it. I like your idea that many Atlantis existed, much like many floods happened instead of "Flood myth is fake nothing ever flooded" you see spoused by rejected redditors.

  20. Yea, because USA stopped France from deposing Assad, he and putin made sure the country is in endless war so they can sell the oil to rich Western fossil fuel oligarchs. As result there's war in Europe now too, as tyrants KNOW nobody in the West will resist them.

  21.  @cattymajiv  I remember correcting friends on social media on bad history with proof, and they later reposted same stuff and I was like "I already explained to you it's not like that" and got an answer "I seen people claim both ways", EUGH!

  22. ​ @loke6664  I am not sure why people argue about accuracy while it's clearly a work of fiction... I imagine future historians finding Manhattan but then arguing about not finding a giant alien spaceship. OF COURSE historical fiction uses real events from the past and places as the background, that's how it works... This works for most parts of the world, take Norse Sagas or Slavic Byliny, Kyiv and Constantinople were real places and some characters mentioned were historical... But there's also mythology intertwined with it. Troy has literal Olympian gods in it... Reason people forget it is the Brad Pitt adaptation cutting that away during the era movies were obsessed with faux realism.

  23. I am sure they absolutely hated wasting so much money on vanity projects and that's why in the later dynasties, they didn't build pyramids anymore, these covered to tourism revenue just fine and there was better use for taxes. I bet in the future we will also wonder how people allowed wastes like Burj Khalifa being built or launching Tesla into space.

  25.  @Fr.O.G.  I mean, since it wasn't deciphered, we can't claim it even attempts to forge an ancient text, for all we know, it might have been someone's contemporary cipher that didn't pretend to be older than whenever it was written. Kind of like made up languages we make for fun, or for art.

  27. Quran isn't a complete outlier, as Torah preceded it and had almost no changes as we can see even oldest scrolls having same text as later ones with minimal typos or changes.

  28. 20:07 IN FACT, these kind of pyramids exist as gravestones in many countries, we have at least three in Ukraine! Some guys went to Egypt, was impressed, and made a will to be buried under a pyramid in 18th-early 20th centuries. It's in Americas, where Mayans, Aztecs and Bass Shop Pro made pyramids that aren't for burial... Hell, they even have one in Louvre retroactively adopting the American tradition of pyramids for other purposes.

  29.  @nco_gets_it  okay that squinting thing to reveal ancient secrets is right from Mackenna's Gold and people LOVE these things, we just love riddles and puzzles, hence why theories of ancient advanced civilization make for good... videogame lore. It's good for Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed. Not for real stuff. Which is interesting in its own way but no lightsabers.

  30. 8:45 It's the Egyptians were white/black thing again: two groups trying to claim they were the progenitors while it was neither... but actual Egyptian voices are drowned by American Afrocentrists and YT power types. Here you have Westerners and Indians with vested interest to claim to be the master race with guys between them, which is ACTUALLY where our common ancestors came from are never respected.

  31. 26:54 Yes, the MUSLIMS created empire with unparalleled at the time scientific achievements. Not pagans. Is he suggesting Caliphs were secretly Hermetic order members? Ah yes, he has this conspiratorial mindset like story of an Ubisoft game (remember Assassin's Creed makes tons of historical characters into secret Templars or Assassins, two famous historical church orders).

  32. Free associations. Prodigal Son is a parable is in the Bible, literally told by Jesus, and author tried to link as many Jesus-related terms to Horus despite the entire story being about the guy who squandered his part of inheritance on blackjack and hookers and then returned and dad threw a feast for him much larger than he did for the always good son.

  33. I mean it's a whole story cycle like Arthurian legends or Marvel nowadays. Why wouldn't it have multiple art pieces in different genres related to each other? Like in China they had oral tradition, historical notes, literature, folk plays etc. all touching on same characters i.e. Guan Yu. We can treat Trojan stories the same way, as a shared legendary universe. With Illiad and Odyssey being established canon works. And a few between them being Lost Media.

  34. ​ @mahatmarandy5977  he would also be dictating not writing so we have to assume the scribe's style influencing the final text.

  35. My fav part of these conspiracies is that their proof of ancients using ultra-modern tools with hi tech isn't any of THOSE materials, but always a bunch of stones.... not even iron, apparently, Atlantean hyperborean superduper master race couldn't bloody smelt iron. So ALL proof of high technology is SOMEHOW always stone age materials.

  36. What findings? That all vases are different and not two even fit each other? Like there's literally nothing to be found. It's just random vases of various sizes, not even a matching set!

  37. ​ @tzvikrasner6073  the common source of Matthew, Mark and Luke, duh. You should really stop pretending Bible isn't the most studied book in the world and project your layman gotchas on it... Ironically with the part that literally speaks about resisting temptation.

  38.  @varyolla435  what do you mean "stole", it's THEIR STONES! You don't think the citizens of the city and municipality OWNS their land and materials? Or does someone seriously think that a dead king somehow claims the rocks thousands of years later? This is just ordinary city replanning. Like taking apart Kremlin to build a toilet, improving it's functionality and artistic value. Hopefully next year.

  39. Love research into civilization the mainstream West desperately tries to pretend not exist, especially those who didn't leave archives, when I was in school we learned about three ancient peoples on our land: Cimmerians, Scythians and Sarmatians, I wish we could learn more about them, as they served as blueprints for both Amazons and Conan the Barbarian.

  40. Eh? Didn't the vases not even match in sizes? Looks like ordinary pottery that can be from any age.

  41. Why people stopped viewing alien claimers as complete cooks?

  42.  @something1600  yup, there's no bronze age without globalization, so any guys who claim about going back to "good old times" before race mixing and foreign trade, would need to retvrn to literally stone age. As you can't get an industrial supply of bronze without mingling with foreigners.

  44. ​ @ansfridaeyowulfsdottir8095  why not go all way back to Anatolia? Also you should keep calling Ukraine - Kyivan Rus', but srussia - muscovia. Then Belarus - Litva (no idea what to do with Lithuania that inherited the name), Iran - Persia, and USA - 13 Colonies.

  45. 14:20 Oh no, mystery lost... They're literally just gardening. And it symbolizes supernatural beings showing humanity how to... Garden. Modern equicalent would be a bald eagle headed "Nascar" deity making burgers on barbecue near the president or something.

  46. I think it's a form the boss evolves, like you defeat a lith and it transforms into a MEGA-lith, games liek Dark Souls love those things. Except Mega Man, he is always a mega and doesn't start from just... man

  48.  @D3adCl0wn  that's because debunkers focus on wrong things. The governments ARE lying to people, but not in the way conspiracy nuts (which are often just supported by hostile actors) get fooled into... for example, one of the reasons a lot of Black people in USA are skeptical about vaccines and doctors is because of pretty horribly history of lies and abuse by Americans medics against their community. So instead of trying to debunk Earth shape, you need to focus on why people feel betrayed or left out by the state, and touch on the real issues that are obscured by conspiratorial nonsense... Example, USA lied during Iran-Contra affair. Arming their enemies... people bring that up (or whatever related to Saddam) and assume the opposite side is truthful and eat up russian or Chinese propaganda with zero critical thinking... it's one of the reasons TikTok is harmful: undiluted CCP controlled platform. There are cooks who see "UK public broadcaster" label on BBC and scream it's propaganda while getting mad at russia today correspondent from UK like Galloway getting label of being labeled as "russian state media", which he is. Address people's actual worries instead of just debunking each conspiracy at the time... you're fighting phantoms otherwise, a hydra, cut off one head, two more grow. SOMEONE WHO LOST TRUST IN MEDIA AFTER IRAQ WON'T RECOVER IT AFTER YOU PROVE THE HORIZON TO THEM, the issues are deeper and governments don't help it.

  50.  @flightographist  none of those things prove anything, seeing "this thing looks like that thing" is not how history works. OF COURSE they had deities for sky and sun and sea and earth because guess what? They all faced the same natural phenomena... Snakes were everywhere and were dangerous too.
