  1. Literally only one year and forced to abdicate because she didn't have a penis. TOTALLY NOT MISOGYNISTIC MALE ONLY SUCCESSION RULE AMIRITE.

  4. @ChewsCarefully it's actually surprising how there's literally nothing in common between Egyptian and Greco-Roman my mythologies despite living so close. There's also little to no things that unite Mesoamerican myths with either... So... They had birds? Yeah, both had birds as deities. Except Greeks who didn't.

  5. Oh and Eastern equivalent of Emperor is Khagan aka "supreme khan", actually, some rulers took it in Kievan Rus' during Dark Ages (way before moscow was built), but it didn't really last... What's translated as "prince" or "duke" in English is "knyaz", which is equivalent of the viking title of konung (as in, prince Volodymyr would be konung Waldamarr in Norse sagas). Principality = knyazhestvo, knyaz-dom, lol. But those titles aren't related to modern russia, Rus' is geographically closer to modern day states of Ukraine and Belarus. The russian state emerged when Ivan III and IV, the Terrible, took titles of Tsar, transforming muscovy from a principality into a tsardom, and the westernization came a few centuries later with Peter the I'st reforms. They weren't really popular so people kept using the titles from moscow tsardom era vernacularly. Hell, Peter the Great isn't even known by that name as much as Peter the first, "Petr pervy". Even later, white russians would pray for return of the "Tsar-batyushka", the "king-daddy" (yes), not "emperor"... It just never caught on. Overall the whole episode and his explanation here was absolutely amazing, I was very surprised at the research they did because russian history is very muddled (several tsars literally ordered archives to get a little Alexandria library style fire) and it's hard to tell what was myth vs real events. It's VERY RARE for western historians to not fall into the trap of russian revisionism and propaganda. I hope they do Ivan the Terrible because he's being horribly romanticized in russia nowadays with putin giving orders to rehabilitate several convicted criminals linked to him. Seriously. Oh and there's secret police tradition that goes way back they touched the middle part of the Oprichniki-ohrana-KGB-FSB chain. tl;dr: Real good job on everything and yes, people "correcting" tsar to emperor aren't entirely correct because titles on paper are one thing and how the emperors were called in real life is another.

  7. And when russians shot the kids, bullets ricocheted off the jewelry... They were scared at God telling the murderers to stop, so they acted like russian soldiers always do and slowly beat children to death with rifles until the room was ankle-deep in blood.

  13. Please, I need an explanation on why there are so many saberfaces! xD On serious note, we badly need summaries, as the problem with Arthurian cycle is that we don't have the definitive popular version everything else gets compared to, like Illiad and Odyssey for Greek mythology or big four novels for Chinese legends. Arthur is just... A LOT of separate stuff that's hard to keep a track of.

  14.  @corrat4866  They sound distinctly Arbeit Macht Frau 1942-ish. Also government cracking down on people who believe in government conspiracy will only reinforce the lunatics beliefs.

  15.  @CentristDad155  how can you avoid mistakes of taking over natives land, erasing majority of them from existence and throwing them into reservation when you are enjoying the spoils? Like it's still an ongoing process, I don't see any movement of returning the settlers back into slums of Hamburg or something... Shakespeare pretty much summed it up (of course he did) in Hamlet, when Claudius is praying, he says: My fault is past. But, O, what form of prayer Can serve my turn? “Forgive me my foul murder”? That cannot be, since I am still possessed Of those effects for which I did the murder: My crown, mine own ambition, and my queen. May one be pardoned and retain th’ offense? You can't REALLY stop repeating offenses when you are directly profiting from them... Did USA even pay reparations? Like Germans and Japanese understand they won't bring the dead back, but they at least trying to do something to the ones they hurt, in fact I am pretty sure Americans forced both to pay... but never issues major reparations for slavery or colonization, you know, just for starters.

  17. Wrong. They coexisted in Ottoman Empire all right. You're trying to excuse modern wingnut reactionist isolationism using example of an exception to the rule out of context and declaring people unable to coexist despite almost every existing society proving otherwise, neckbeard.

  18. I remember some celebrity talking how she refused a private clinic to give birth because general hospital where doctors take labour several times a day, makes them by default more experienced and safer than rich snob clinic where they have a client once in a blue moon. Obviously a country doctor had more patients than the king's spit-collector.

  23. Really? To me Napoleon is the legendary conqueror with people being called insane by comparing themselves to him, like literal synonym for lunatics in the asylum is "the Napoleons". We also learn about Alexander the Macedonian and Cleopatra's lover before Marc Anthony, but they were never really legendary, mostly like, side characters in Asterix and Obelix cartoons, and Fate Zero, respectfully. I mean, nobody actually thinks Iskandar can stand one on one against Gilgamesh or Artoria, right?

  29. "The Torah (Hebrew Bible) prohibits a Jew from borrowing, lending or being a party to a transaction that involves charging another Jew interest." Reason Jewish people got associated with money lending is because most other jobs were forbidden for them, so...

  32. It's more complex. Tokugawa bakufu was ousting the samurai as a class, and power lied in the hands of bureaucrats. Stories like 47 ronin were just examples of tragedies born from the degeneracy of the Shogunate. And over a century later, nationalism was on the rise, and Japanese identified as a nation, and wanted both progress and claiming their national identity, all while securing the rights of people who didn't fare well in the rigid caste system of Edo period.

  34.  @scorpioneldar  Si vis pacem, para bellum... Any political movement that declares "peace at any cost" is usually just working for the enemy and will lead to massive deaths at the cost of formally surrendering and not resisting. But hey, they usually get a nobel peace prize for letting tons of chilren getting shelled without retaliation.

  36.  @Carl-Gauss  pretty sure the problem people have with Ludendorff isn't her wacky pseudo-historical beliefs but enabling fascism. Which is one thing she shares with Dawkins. Of course, atheism as a religion has many branches and schisms, so a Dawkinist with their crusade against women's rights wouldn't be the same as typical Soviet "scientific atheist" gathering in long lines near a zigurrat to worship Lenin's mummy while stealing Bible quotes and attributing them to him. "The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat,” "Swords to ploughshares" and so on.

  37. Austria is literally the only country in Europe that doesn't support Ukraine, as their former leader (not that one) danced with putin at her wedding, among other things... Turkey is leading sanction-avoiding hub now with almost ALL flights and sales to russia going through it, DESPITE it being in NATO. But yes, they do help Ukraine a lot, Baykar specifically but help in general. Ukrainians also sent help to earthquake victims in return. Funnily enough, despite Ukrainians helping everyone all the time, even when we're full of russia-shaped problems ourselves, when russians blew up the dam there was NO international help, Only singular volunteers. UN, Unicef, Red Cross, PETA, and IAEA are all upholding russian narrative that it was "nature" the rigged powerplant with explosives, mined the nuclear power plant, and is firing artillery from it into the town across the shore.

  39.  @justinpolanco5046  " she used her body for political power " why not the other way around?.. Why do you think women are seducing men, and not men like Antony are getting into bedroom of the Pharaoh, a living goddess', to have a shot on ruling the world, eh?.. DO YOU SERIOUSLY THINK MEN DIDN'T MARRY FOR POLITICAL REASONS?! Marc did that at least twice. Officially. That's how politics worked back then. Am not even talking about the other Marc Anthony who married J-Lo.))) Your perspective is skewed by your chauvinism. Also, it's ironic how men think of a perfect seductress with a body count of literally TWO MEN, the second only after the first guy died. Like, how insecure are you guys?! XD

  40. Marie is one of the most lied about women in history, her cake fake quote is second in bullcrap only to Cleopatra's cultivated image of a promiscuous woman (she had literally two boyfriends IRL), and possibly the Byzantine empress Theodora (jury's still out on how much Procopius made up since he contradicts himself in his bios of her).

  45. Literally all researches and teachers I heard said how Aeneid was a prime example of propaganda piece to justify autocracy to people who grew up in a Republic. If you have your alternate version, throwing phrases like "historically accurate" around, the burden of proof is on you. Literally wikipedia: "Virgil took the disconnected tales of Aeneas's wanderings, his vague association with the foundation of Rome and his description as a personage of no fixed characteristics other than a scrupulous pietas, and fashioned the Aeneid into a compelling founding myth or national epic that tied Rome to the legends of Troy, explained the Punic Wars, glorified traditional Roman virtues, and legitimized the Julio-Claudian dynasty as descendants of the founders, heroes, and gods of Rome and Troy..." Try reading Shakespeare, you'll find his plays are not even trying to hide they are commissioned to glorify things the Tudors (Richard II & Henrys), Scotland (MacBeth), and monarchy over democracy (Coriolanus). Vergil wasn't some perfect unbiased author in a vacuum, he also worked for the state.

  47. Just a casual reminder that Circassians weren't just "gone" but they were genocided by russians as part of russian colonial wars in what's modern day Sochi region, Krasnodar Krai. You know, Olympics on the bones of a much more successful ethnic cleansing that predated Auschwitz.

  48. 5:48 Yes, put' means way in russian. Rasputin sounds like "rasputie", which is "crossroads", but also "rasputny", "lecherous". Etymologically "a person who turned the wrong path". I've also heard that the surname's actual etymology comes to "rasputitsa", a word so outdated most people don't hear it on modern russian. But it's a weather condition when roads turn to muck. Again, anything with "put" in it has the root that means a road, way, or path, so it doesn't matter which road-related word it actually comes from. What does matter is that Rasputin sounds in russian like surname Horni would sound in English.
