"more civilised greeks and romans." I suppose genocide and conquering is more civilised to some than headhunting.

Glory to Ukraine and its wonderful people and, by the way, I support UNHCR and your fundraiser as they have helped my friend who is a gay refugee from Yemen. Hopefully the UNHCR will also help the people of UKRAINE more.

The section on Claudius is extremely similar almost word for word to the Wikipedia article on Claudius. I haven't compared the other sections. AI bot??

I am surprised you missed to mention that it is forward curved. That is after all one of the most notable and important features of both the romphaia and the falx.

Tales and storries are referred to today's recognised countries and borders, otherwise the influence of median on Persians was overwhelming, even after the merge of the two empire. Median army accepted half median half Persian military leader, over their own corrupt median leader. Otherwise the whole cyrusII army who fought Greek were medians. Even the military median leader who rebelled against Astyagus was the same one who defeated rich Lydian empire, which was the key to further Persian expansion. Involving the median army to hundreds of years in endless battles till time of Islam Caused significant reduction in loss of self identity as a Kurd. Self recognision become more towards Iranian land against Romes, After arrival of Seljuks further reduced Kurdish influence in the region. Now Arab says Kurds mean, people who have been evected to the mountain. Persian says Kurds means Nomadic persians Turks say Kurds mean... Doesn't exist at all 😂😂😂 Greek Says Kurds mean warriors Can you guys have an intelegent debate between yourselves and let us know the outcome😂😂😂

Why did Constantinople get the works? Ain’t nobody’s business but the Turks!

last rizzday nighttttttt

If you are going to give multiple descriptions of what they were called and what they referred to them self as... why leave out "the land of the black headed people"?

In Portugal there is a city called Évora. Came from Celtic words Ebora

Serbs be like queen teuta = Teutic. King Bardhyli Bardhylic.🤣🤣🤣🤣. Worst ppl ever. Uneducated. Not surprised servs are from ukraine.

Colored spear shafts are not fiction invented by modern illustrators.

Pilum was not designed to cripple shields. It ws clearly designed to kill or at least hurt person behind the shield. That it stuck in the shield and served as obstacle was just secondary efect. And it definitelly didn't bend intentionally on impact,there was not even need of it,it served as perfect obstacle even without being anyhow bended and still pretty hard to pull it out. Most recent scholarship majoraly consider intentional bending on impact a myth and there are several very good reasons for it. Also Pilum was used in close combat. It was used like this just as improvised spear but we have a lot of pictorial and written attestations for this and it was not that soft to be useless in close combat. So this was possible not some major advantage Spiculum might had over Pilum not to mention that spiculum was probably very similar to light version of Pilum. It is not known for how long Spiculum remained in use but it seems highly unlikely it would be phased out after such relatively short time.

Some corrections: -Saying "the first alphabet to use vowels as well as consonants" is redundant as an alphabet is defined as a writing system that uses letters to represent both vowels and consonants -Koinè is not a dialect of classical greek but rather its next stage of evolution; it ended up replacing all previous dialects with one common tongue. It is in this form of the language that the Bible was written, not medieval greek -The modern greek script is very different from Byzantine miniscule, as it was developed from a mix of it, letter forms developed in the west, and revived classical letters for the majuscule. But overall this is a well made and presented video and can serve as a very good introduction to the history of the greek language. It's clear you did your research, there is just some minor confusion on some points

It’s always Tunisia 🇹🇳 🇹🇳✨

After becoming king, David fought in several wars of expansion and consolidation with neighboring tribes, such as the Amalekites, Ammonites, Edomites, and the Moabites.

When all the elders of Israel had come to King David at Hebron, the king made a compact with them at Hebron before the LORD, and they anointed David king over Israel. David was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years.

Murayan empire never came to negotiation table. Selucus urged for peace by marrying his own daughter with chandragupta muriya, and left all alexander's conquered lands in India to chandragupta. After that, friendship stablished, they exchanged gifts. Chandragupta gave some war elephants to selucus this way.

Cyrus was Perian which is Iranian King. One who is loved even today by all Iranians. He freed the jews and praticed tolarance and human rights. While today Iranians are the ones who are enslaved by the Mulla regime and the jews in Isreal want to Nuke them.

Great Video! I would say don’t be so political but fish don’t know when the water is wet.

Very interesting. And well done I wonder where they first found copper before they had to mine it. And the same with tin. And who came up with the idea of heating copper and then tin Are there any records of who first did it?

Myth boudicca 😂 you gotta be joking right not much of a myth when she was known to have lived (now we don't know what happened to her but she for real was real) plus she was story passed down by romans not celts.

A defendant of those guys thanks you

i’m not sure if this channel here is trustworthy… not just cuz this video…

Should have been given back to Greece.

It's an honor for me to be Tunisian and having the same name of the legendary founder of Carthage elyssa ❤

Shqiperi literally means "Land of EAGLES!" Ultra cringe Greek nationalists stealing Albanian Pelasgian symbols again! 🇦🇱🦅

"Ancient History guy" more like "Ancient BS guy" 😂

Using the Battle of Thermopylae as an example of the Persians being unable to fight in an enclosed space is really good because in this battle where they lost-oh wait, they won and almost completely slaughtered the enemy lol

Interesting! TY, you scwewy wabbit!

Judea is from the first century and is a post-exilic name. The Southern kingdom nane was Judah.

who else already knew over half of this from Percy Jackson???

00:33 them greeks!

Nice video. Not to be that guy, but in English their name is pronounced "My-see-NEE-ans". Not "My-see-NIN-ians". Or, in the original Greek, "My-Kee-NEE-ans" (there are no soft "cee" sounds in Greek). The boar helmets were only common as a symbol of nobility and were family heirlooms. Regular soldiers wore bronze caps or helmets like the later Greeks. You forgot archers and especially slingers to complement the heavy infantry. As well, in addition to infrantry, Myceneans made use of 2-man chariots. There is some debate if these were used simply as battlefield taxis to ferry soldiers and/or leaders to the battlefield to keep them fresh, or as assault units like the Hittites (where they got the chariots from in the first place).

Would have loved to hear more about the physics of it! Why was it superior to an "average" javelin?

Thank you

the legionaries who overcame these obstacles really have balls of tungsten

Being a Samnite reenactor myself this makes me a little happier than i am usually :). Even though it is obviously a simplified version. Livy writes MANY years after the Samnite wars and un the midst of other struggles between Romans and italics (with the samnites in the front row) so his story is a little bit affected by this. Anyway samnites never gave up: 3 Samnite wars, Pyrrhus, Annibal, Social war, civil war and even Spartacus, samnites always fought (not entirely) for different reasons. I suggest a book of my old professor Gianni Brizzi "Ribelli contro Roma" Rebels against Rome. Very interesting take.

Fabricated story

We, the Assyrian people of Nineveh, are working to build our civilization again and we are working again and again but failing But we promise you that we are Assyrians and we will restore our stolen homeland, Assyria, soon, and you will see the expansion of Assyria in a short period. This is a promise from a free Assyrian.

I wonder if this is the historical inspiration for the falx in Elden ring

"Dangerous"? How, exactly, is ANY historical interpretation a danger, of ANY kind? Good Lord...😮

The Gauls are my personal fascination. I wish we had more insights of their daily lives not written from the perspective of their enemies
