  2. Why is Belarus ignored? And a number of other present-day countries whose territories used to be ruled by these dynasties.

  3. Most of the Hebrew (as well as other nations') names are harshly mispronounced in English. It's just a linguistic fact, accept it.

  4. It is also worth noting that there are 2 rivaling schools in the Israeli Biblical Archaeology, represented by Israel Finkelstein (Tel-Aviv Univ.) mentioned here and Yosef Garfinkel (Jerusalem Univ.) (ironically, they share the same element 'finkel' in their surnames :) ). Finkelstein insists that David and Solomon were mere tribal chieftains, if existed at all, and there was no such powerful and organised statehood as the Kingdoms of Judea and Israel (Biblical minimalism?), while Garfinkel tries to provide more archaeological confirmations for the Biblical narrative.

  5.  @UsefulCharts  Well, in the case of Hebrew names it's more a tradition than a mistake. E.g., all Js are Ys in the original (Jonathan should be pronounced Yonatan, Joppa - Yafo etc.)

  6. Thank you for providing a very clear picture, including the tree of languages. Many people mistakenly think that Sanskrit is the mother of most European languages, while it's just a twice or trice removed cousin to them.

  7. Thank you for a great tree, as always!

  9. The state emblem of the modern Ukraine is used as Rurik's family crest. So funny! :D

  10. When he mentioned Homer with those emblems still on the screen, I was expecting Simpson's face to appear.

  11. Great! However, the Slavs didn't arrive from Asia. They formed in the Danube or the Dnieper region that are wholly in Europe.

  12. Also, Z in Italian (and in German) is pronounced TS (as in pizza). This works across-the-board, not just for Lucrezia, but for Lorenzo as well. And the accents...

  13. In which way?

  15. Well, early medieval subjugations weren't mild and peaceful anywhere.

  16. On this day 925 years ago (June 19th, 1097AD) the knights of the 1st Crusade together with the Byzantines ended the siege of Nicaea and took the city from the Turks. Congratulations on the 1st victory of the 1st Crusade!

  17. A very good point in stating that monarchs are not the 1st in the queue of those who must be removed , and showing the portrait of one of the class that is the 1st.

  18. The stupid political agenda is not ignored but manipulated here. Ignored is Belarus whose present territory was mostly if not completely within ancient Rus', and a number of other modern countries once ruled by these dynasties.

  19.  @UsefulCharts  How about full names for the Vlads? (Vladislav?)

  20. Wasn't she related to the Dukes of Marlborough and ancient continental nobles e.g. Merovingians? If so, all those so-called Windsors are mere low-borns compared to her.

  23. What about the Rurikids of which the Romanovs were a branch?

  25. 5:52 - The mentions of "invasions" are kinda biased here. Where is the US invasion of Afghan. which was quite lengthy and the UK also participated? As well as the invasions of Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya etc. etc.?

  26. 11:04 - with the second daughter in a row shouldn't we return upwards on the tree to some uncle?

  28.  @eduardog3000  there is no Year Zero, but there is the Point Zero on the timeline, to the right of which lies the 1st of January 1AD, and to the left of which is the 31st of December 1BC.

  29.  @mousaey  even with the "AD and negative AD" terminology there will be no "year zero" in the form of a 1-year-long time period named "0 AD" or "0 BC", same as there is no span named "the 0th unit" on any axis of any coordinate system. There is the "point zero" (or maybe the "instant zero" if we talking about a timeline) in a millisecond (figuratively) to the right from which it is 1AD, and -1AD (or 1BC) to the left.

  30.  @rianza4523  well, finally they lost everything including Jerusalem.

  31. 16:00 - Why suddenly the Carolingian imperial inheritance had to stick that firmly to the county title of Burgundy and to follow it even via a female line while there was the legitimate male heir Raymond?

  32.  @volodyad195  A trident-like symbol or a diving falcon as many like to interpret it is completely all right because as you said it was used in seals of many Rurikid princes. What is irrelevant is the use of the modern Ukrainian heraldic colours in an attributed Rurikid coat of arms. Or did the author mean Rurik came from what is now Sweden? I think more appropriate would be a golden trident/falcon on a red shield as this combination was mainly used in Rus princes' banners.

  33. Everyone would agree that a monarch is supposed to be with his people in times of trouble, wouldn't you? So, considering the behaviour of the current king who locked himself in a luxury hotel in Bavaria with dozens of concubines, while the pandemic is ravaging the world, the Thai people may think seriously about switching to a republic.

  36. The Bible is literally a Mosaic work, in all senses of the word 'mosaic'.

  37. It happened because the earliest printed books in English were ordered from continental Europe (Germany?) where they didn't have stamps for "þ" and replaced them with other letters that looked similar to them.

  39. The chart of the Asian dynasties looks about same dense as that of Europe. However, there is a crucial difference - unlike Europe, Asian countries' dynasties don't intermarry.

  40. The ancestry of Lucrezia Normanni is quite apparent, but could the Rovere family also descend from the Normans (aka Vikings or rovers)?

  41. 12:10 - The Babylonian Exile in this scheme is just half a century long (586-539 BCE), however it's worth noting that for some northern Israelites the captivity started in 722 BCE and they also contributed some Mesopotamian concepts into the corpus of scriptures.

  42. 16:44 - Serious typos in the years for Henry VI, for both his king and emperor reigns.

  43. Eleanor of Aquitaine is called the Grandmother of Europe. How does her house compare to the house of Garsenda?

  44. A cousin. In some languages this relationship is described something like "brother once removed" or maybe more correctly "second brother".

  46. They delete comments here, how nice. The liberal censorship and intolerance to another opinion in action.

  47. It would be worth mentioning that Catherine de Medici is (in)famous for the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre when in one night they assassinated many times (x15?) more people than were executed throughout the entire reign of Ivan IV the Terrible.

  53. Probably, you've watched this channel's video on the Roman Emperor family tree. If so, you might have noticed that the greatest empire of the past was ruled by very few families and all of them interrelated. Then came the European Middle Ages with about the same situation. Then we have our modern, kinda 'democratically elected', leaders. The weird truth is that our world has been ruled and owned by quite a few clans, and continues to be.

  54. The best video on the topic of so-called feminism.

  55. It should be considered, that monarchy is not just a king. A true monarchy comes with all that multi-level pyramid of barons, counts, dukes etc. - a system originating from the feudal form of organisation of economical and political life of societies. The "castrated" monarchies of our times that have only a "ceremonial king" are either a fake like those dressed-up "princes" in Disneyland, or, which is more likely, keep sustaining the feudal pyramid in a hidden manner. E.g. nobility titles were abolished in Japan, but many prominent politicians and big business leaders there belong to the same good old families and de-facto inherit their offices, formally being elected via the mechanisms of the parliamentary democracy. Calling the British monarchy "ceremonial" is a misleading lie too, aimed to distract the public attention from the fact that the royal family and its subordinate aristocratic families literally own the country and get royalties from businesses renting the land. They have transformed themselves into capitalist stakeholders very craftily, while preserving the feudal system of their property rights.
