  1. No, it was not. The Arabic world, before Islam was Golden Age, where science, literature, civilization in general were high-standing. Islam destroyed this. Afterwards the Islam claimed all this high-standings to be part of Islam and being created by it. But it´s false. It was actually the Arabic cultures in the Middle East, before the Dark Ages that was so well, and so high standard. You, my brother, have been told the wrong thing by people who want to promote islam and muslims. But actually, not the muslims, but the general ancient Arabics (Arabs) were the good ones. (I know muslims can be arabic, but i´m making a difference between general arabs-arabics and specific muslims).

  2. No, this is what power-takers and politics did to Europe. It doesn´t matter if religion is the tool to that, or another ideology (like communism or nazism). People in general just want to take power and destroy civilization. I don´t know why, but for some reason the human spiecies are like this. Well, actually, I know why.

  3.  @aurourus6894  I´m sure the 21th century will be called the ´bubble gum age´. Why? Because of the superficial everything-is-amazing happy Justin Bieber-like instagram generations that has no sence at all without themselves realising it.

  4. I´m really doubting if the maker of this video actually knows that Christianity is NOT a foodcompany, or some sort, haha.

  5. Just don´t take in any of this. Read some real renowned historical books instead. Or Wikipedia. Everything is already better than watching this. ;)

  6. It´s the premiere of the most stupid false video on history ever made. That´s why.

  7. The part about the farmers often being called up into military is a bit like not lying, but not tell the full truth or context either. The fact that farmers were being called up is true, but actually this would be only one family member while the rest of the family continue their lives. Also, not every family was approximated. And when it happend, it´s only once in a lifetime. It´s a small percentage. So, how it is being told in the video assumes that farmers in general were the victim of being send to war. And this whole statement also doesn´t point out the fact that most knights/warriors at medieval times (Dark Ages) were actually real warriors, so well-trained, from an early age. Literally they where athletes. Otherwise you can not win a war. Not farmers at all. You had sended average citizens and volunteers included in wars, but only a small percetage. Not only is it unuseful and expensive to include these people, but also it is unnecessarily doing harm to individuals that are useful for ´society´. Maybe the maker of the video is not really into nuance, or only the nuances that fits his agenda.

  8. Actually, BEFORE islam, the arabic world was living in the Golden Age with high standard science, literature and civilization. Afterwards, Islam claimed these things and teached muslims that these high standards were created by islam, but the real historical accuracy is actually that Arabic culture BEFORE islam created it. But no one will believe this now, because everyone (especially naive muslims) is caught up with the indoctrinated way of being teached without realising it. Islam destroys everything. Back at medieval times. Right now again. Christianity destroyed a lot too btw. Communism too. Nazism too. Even Buddhism. You can conclude that ´wrong´ ideology is destroying everything.

  9. Just consider the whole video as an ad. It´s the most historical accurate thing you can do.

  10. No, it´s good, because the faster he talks, the faster you will be rid of the bullshit. It literally makes no historical sence what this video is positing.

  11. Ok, at least something that´s good about it then. ;)

  12. No, actually God was protestant, and Google was behind the Crusades.

  13. Yeah, because, islam created the world, remember haha (not). This video is really stupid.

  14. No, just their hands getting cut off or convicted to burning at the stake. So, nothing special. ;)

  15. He didn´t, but I wouldn´t be surprised if he had, if you know what I mean. ;)

  16. It´s a shame Arnold Schwarzenegger was not included in this video, because he played a very important role in medieval times too. ;)

  17. General history is almost per definition factually incorrect, only are many things ´accaptable´ and ´assumable´. You can believe that everything in history ´probably´ was like that, or something like it. Even the most renowned European or American historians know that facts were changed in history and that so called ´evidence´ is actually not reliable at all, altough it´s been claimed to be ´historically right´. Just take everything with history with a grain of salt (is that a correct saying...?).
