WHAT ABOUT THE SPHNIX?

👍👍

👍👍

Yo New Historyden video just dropped!

W

Its been a while

Thanks! I love this series

Rolling rolling rolling....

Scipio Africanus was like Julius Caesar in military genius ,but without the ego and ambition. Had he been around in Caesar's day, Caesar would have had a harder time than he did.

I am rewatching all the roman videos so i am at the start of the first punic war, hopefully by the time i catch up there isnt much waiting until the end. Absolutely love the content lately. Its soooooo good to have you back and creating. As many other people have said, you have a gift for doing lectures. Never boring. Always interesting and everything you cover is consumed without issue. Really great series. Hope there is many more videos to come in the roman and greek categories. And i hope you never lose the passion for creating these. Now more than ever we need people willing to educate us on the past as i think it is obvious there are those who wish to erase our past and modify it so we have no identity or icons. Keep it up mate. We are loving it. 😂

Roughs? Is that a roof? (I am not English)

Can't get enough of these videos!

Do a part two plz. I'm glad to know that you share in my inconsistent work ethic.

Wow you are on a roll mate, past few videos have been fire! Maybe an ancient city series are on the cards?

yes of course read the book from Malala there it is writte: Achilles left with the Atreidai, bringing his own army of 3000 of the men known then as Myrmidons but known now as Bulgars, - SLAVS do you actually understand what SLAVS means? In the so called slavic languages, SLAV means GLORY, and the Alexander Makedonski acutally wanted to beat the thrace people but he could not and he decided to offer them a money to be from his army and they accepted. He called them the SLAVs, the GLORIOUS because they were fighting very brave... please read old good real resources to no read new history because the new resources are overwriten from the new big countries in order to somehow boost their history and confidence... the real historians they now this prety well.... there are many old authors saying that the Bulgarians are the thracian tribe Mysians.. etc.. or the Peonites ... there are different sources but for sure Bulgaria is the oldest country in Europa.. check the map of Jerome, the so call Map of Turnai - this author lived in 400 year and he draw on his map Mysia here is Bulgaria. Find the map in Google. I do not care what is accepted in the other countries the truth is another... of course the people who are not well informed like you will talk information which is not true.. but now you know a bit more about it. If you are intelligent person you will go and read more about it and next time you wont spread fake information. :) What I wrote is not what I think but what authors 1500 years ago wrote about Bulgaria :)

This one of the best history channals out there

IDK if you're familiar with Dota 2 at all, but there was an infamous pro match in which the carry player for team LGD, Rabbit, had an unbelievable, flawless performance. He finished the match with a kill/death score of 17/0 but still lost the game. This spawned the unofficial reward called the "rabbit award" for losing despite an incredible performance. It always reminds me of Hannibal. Hannibal made the most spectacular entrance of any invasion force in history. He handed the Romans their worst defeat ever at Trebia. He made another spectacular march, this time through an impassable swamp. He sprung the largest, most successful ambush in history at Trasimene. He escaped an utterly hopeless situation completely unscathed at Ager Falernus. Then, to top it all off, he scored the greatest battlefield victory of all time at Cannae. Hannibal must have been thinking he had just completed the most perfectly executed military campaign in history. Now it's time to go home and forever be known as the greatest general who ever lived. I can't imagine how pissed he must have been when the Romans were just like, "Nope!"

Loved your series, can you make similar series on Spartacus?

Good good, I didn't know about 5 of these.

Egregious Roman L (they should've had Fabius in charge).

The only question I got wrong was the one about the last Merovingian king. I really should've missed a few more but I got lucky with a couple of blind guesses.

So here is what i got: 1. Leo I (wrong. Yikes. That's embarassing) 2. Vandals (wrong. I could have sworn i knew that one.) 3. Andrew (wrong. I've barely read anything on the clergy of the heretical religions, so.) 4. Battle of Hastings (correct. Yah! i got one correct lol) 5. Gregory I (correct. I'm surprised i knew that one) 6. Persian (wrong. Kurdish?! really? hmm) 7. False. (correct. For some reason, I know the heirarchy or aristocracts, royals, etc lol) 8. 845. (Correct. No idea how i rememebr that one) 9. England (correct. It has to be since it's a hop, skip, and jump away from their lands) 10. China. (correct. Also, why have Turkey on the list when it didn't even exist until a few centuries ago? Turks came from upper China. oO They're a Mongol race.) 11. Eleanor of Aquitaine. (correct. I'm happy I rememebred that one lol) 12. Johannes Gutenberg (correct. If i had made a mistake with that, i should have burnt all my books) 13. Dagobert III (wrong. But iwas leaning toward Childeric III) 14. El Sid (wrong. Yikes. I should have known the correct answer) 15. Genoa (correct. That was a tricky one.) So, 9/15 correct. Surprising. I believe i would have had a lot more wrong.

the ones I got wrong (1,3,7,14). but some of the correct answers were flukes(like Egypt declaring war)

So these are what i chose: 1. Neptune (which was wrong) 2. Oberekommando des Heeres (wrong. So close on that one lol) 3. Patton (correct. Thank God i could still remember that one) 4. Rommel (obviously wrong) 5. Zhukov (correct) 6. Himmel (Correct) 7. Heinrici (correct) 8. Georgia (correct) 9. Hump (correct) 10. Austria (correct. if i had gottent that one wrong i should have never shown my face again lol) 11. Soviet Union (wrong. Considering the research they did, i should never have gotten it wrong) 12. HMS King George V (correct. I wasn't sure though, i was also leaning toward Hood) 13. True. (correct) 14. USS Indianapolis. (correct. I kind of laughed at USS Enterprise since there's no way it could have been it since it's in a museum if I'm not mistaken. 15. Munich (wrong. Yikes, ashamed i got that one wrong) So, final score is: 10/15 correct.

the final one got me!!

5 errors and 2 lucky ones where I was correct by picking a random answer (hello Saladin). That was fun, got to check about Arianism now

Rome had so many good generals because Hannibal already killed most of the bad ones 😂

13/15, popes and archbishops got me!

I'm loving the new format for some videos where you dive deeper into random things here or there. The last video summarizing Hannibal was really good too, some times you forget just how much content has been covered so it's good to take a step back and analyse things, would be good to get something similar when you talk about characters such as Sulla, Caesar, Augustus, Alexander and Phillip II. Really cannot wait to see all the new content you produce now going forward.

Got most right, have to go and have a look at German tribes and 'Arianism', I had no idea they had a view on the subject, which could make them better informed on their faith than many today. 🙄🙄

Let me know your scores - a couple of those questions I was grinning when I was creating them.

The return of the king

Thanks!

The Carthaginian senate also lacked vision. Later Cato would say "Carthago delenda est" after each oration and Carthage was destroyed. Please keep going. Zama or bust! jk Cheers

how did YT not reccomend me this? welcome back

Boy ain't no way boy... boy ain't no way boy...

Rome had a great patriarchal and legal culture creating rarely idiots but mostly great men among nobility early on. Hannibal was an exception.

Hannibal Barca, son of Hamilcar, was the best roman general! Change my mind :P Ok, ok, jokes a side, Hannibal defeated Rome in every battle up until the last one, he was closest to bringing Rome down and he failed. And as the saying goes, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" therefore Hannibal was the best Roman general

I think Alexander was as good as Hannibal, or possibly better. His leadership style was different from Hannibal's, but just as effective. I guess I would say Hannibal was probably a more shrewd tactician, but Alexander was a greater warrior and reader of men. Hannibal's lesser skill in reading men cost him dearly.

Yeah, I thought The Carthagians were foolish not to support Hannibal. But Hannibal should have taken Rome itself while he had the chance.

I didn’t finish watching this series yet, but It is probably one of the best series I found on this platform, because it went into detail of what happened in Italy after Cannae. Instead of just saying that “the Romans started using a war of attrition, and attacked were Hannibal wasn’t”.

Its so hard to learn just how neglected Hannibal was, I guess they thought he will make do....🤦

It sort of reminds me of Athens during the Great Peloponnesian War, in your other series. When Athens charged 6 Generals for failing to rescue survivors. I mean even if this was a thing, they were at war and the idea of offing your leaders during wartime is unbelievable. Same thing seems to be happening here in which Hannibal would have won the war outright if Carthage had halted its divisive government, pulled together and had worked with Hannibal to give him supplies and reinforcements. Instead those in power did everything they could to sabotage Hannibal and while they had a schism within their government. Rome on the other hand was strong and was slowly becoming more and more unified in its war effort. Assisting and doing what ever was needed to win. One side is unified and driven towards one single goal, the other, disjointed and seeking to undermine its political rivals, despite the fact that they are at war.

Another excellent video!

Good to see you back!

True to his word! Let's keep the momentum going ;)

Holy molly, where the hell have you been my man, it's been a long time and suddenly you drop 2 videos in quick succession, thank you thank you very much

Good, good, good 🎉

Glad to see you back. I was worried about you😊
