Beyond The Fall Of Rome - The 1000 Year Death Of The Roman Empire

[@HistoryTime]

VIDEO MONETISED AGAIN! Thanks all for the kind words of support. After a long chat with KZbin the video was reviewed and found to not be controversial. The Fall of the Roman Empire is acceptable! Very relieved.

[@DanSk451]

I’m still going to comment on the general thread too. Just not as pointed. 🧐

[@davidbryden7904]

Regarding this video being demonitized, it could be bc it's a collaboration. Google will only pay one party, typically the 'bigger' channel. 🤷‍♂️ Hope that you can sort it out. Love your work. Cheers ✌️ 😎

[@burrito-town]

Are you reviewing your videos after you upload them to KZbin? I don’t know how you are missing this, but the audio in every video you upload to KZbin is far, far too quiet. The problem is wildly apparent in each of your videos and makes you channel unwatchable. I’m one video away from unsubscribing because it’s extremely difficult to hear what you are saying. Right-click on this video and select “Stats for Nerds”. From there, you will see that KZbin measures the audio in this video as 11.8 dB too quiet. 11.8 dB is HUGE. A 5 dB deficit is very noticeable, which means your video at almost 12 dB too quiet is beyond unacceptable. In order to hear what you are saying, I have to blast the volume on my device. “That’s not a big deal.”, you say? Well sure, until the next video on KZbin plays and my ears are destroyed by the loud volume because the other creators know how to properly export their videos for KZbin. You really, really, really need to address this export problem with your videos because they are unwatchable as they currently stand. I don’t know what program you use to export video, but there is information out there for nearly every program that will help you achieve the proper export settings. For example, here’s a video about using Adobe Premiere: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXOrYXV8q6h_d6M I beg you, please address this problem with your channels. Your content seems like it might be excellent, but any positive qualities of your videos is completely overridden by the inaudible narration. No one has any business subscribing to a channel where we cannot hear the videos.

[@eardwulf785]

​@@burrito-town I've just compared the volume of the three most recent videos from this channel to the volumes of the latest three videos I've viewed from my library, each of these three are from different channels and one of them is from a popular news outlet. I found that the difference in volume was negligible with only the volume on the news channel being slightly higher than the other five videos. *That's my personal experience.

Is there anything more poetic than the last Western emperor being named Romulus and the last Eastern emperor being named Constantine?

[@Bafflementation]

Less surprising than one might think. The desperation of a society in decline is exactly the sort of thing that would lead people to try to invoke grand origin myths.

[@OldSchoolNiner]

Yes. Poems.

[@morganbass3231]

There was a Chinese poet that wrote “Fart” in ancient Chinese as a response to his friend across the lake who wrote a pretentious poem about how the eight winds could never move him so that when he came over to chew him out, he responded with “The eight winds couldn’t move you, but a single fart got you across a lake”

Pete, many do history themed films, documentaries, indie shorts on every conceivable topic but you stand alone. Your manner, phrasing, passion for your material sets you apart and while I often wish you could pump one of these films out every week I know I'm talking rubbish. I retired from teaching (because of the lockdown) but when I did have classes I could never find a way to squeeze it all in about Rome, and oddly enough, the students always wanted more! This was worth the wait, as all your films are, there is no one like you in this field Pete Kelly!

Nice video.

Maybe one could consider these last holdouts around the Black Sea.

[@Nic-mq8hm]

Just imagine if there wasn't all the internal backstabbing/treachery within the Roman state, how much longer the Roman Empire would have lasted? One can make the sound argument that "the fall of Rome" was not from any external enemy, but rather from the enemies from within... As duscussed in this video, even in Rome's collapsed state/end times, there were still chances to repair it yet internal treachery prevented it. In my opinion of civilizations and their collapse, it's more often due to "the fall from within" rather than any one great seige or battle. Most are wrongly taught and or have the impression of the later. Rome did not fall when the Visagoths and Vandals sacked the city, Rome fell internally long before those events. To further put into perspective, the exact same thing is happening today in Europe and especially in USA. History my friends does repeat itself because "history" is the psychology and repeatative actions of man.

[@GnosticInformant]

I still think Rome fell on the day Diocletian moved the military to the East and carved up the Empire into 4 during the crisis of the 3rd century. Galerius taxed the city of Rome after Diocletian promised the City of Rome that it would never be taxed. That exact moment in time shows that Rome was a new entity. I think Rome fell long before 476 and 1453.

Thank you for pointing out the fallacy of Voltaire’s statement about the Holy Roman Empire; the institution of the emperor and concept of universal imperium meant that the emperor was viewed with great reverence as once of the most powerful monarchs in the world. This was true even by the time of Voltaire, by which point, as he so crudely points out, the empire had become quite disunited - even at that stage the Habsburg Holy Roman emperors held enormous sway over international geopolitics, even if beginning their long, slow decline which ended in their deposition in 1918.

[@adrianwhyatt594]

It should be noted that the conquered Romans of the Ottoman Empire were and still are deemed the Rum Millet, the Roman Nation and the language they speak is still sometimes referred as Romaiki, not Helleniki, the official language of this minority in Constantinople, Istanbul. There are thus still Romans. The Ottomans also took on the title of Emperor of the Romans and the (tenth) Ecumenical Synod of 1484 was under their aegis, taking place in Constantinople and confirming the Western Latins as heretics, condemning the Robber Council of Florence-Ferrara of 1438-9 including confirming the 879 condemnation of the Filioque clause in the Creed at the 8th Ecumenical Council, also held in Constantinople. It is well known that many Turks remain crypto-Orthodox and have, literally, underground catacomb services until this day and are (Eastern) Romans. I have met one. Her father was then the Turkish ambassador to Kazakhstan. She revealed this when I brought the subject up in a conversation. The fact that this was designated, in 1484, an Ecumenical Synod, simply means that the Ottoman Sultan of the day was one of the crypto-Orthodox and in fact a Roman Empire in every sense. The last Ottoman Sultan was deposed in 1924 though there remain claimants to this day. We have not yet had, therefore, the last Roman, though we are now back in a Republican era. And that´s before consideration of the Third Rome, Moscow and Muscovy, which overlaps and which has claimants to its throne vacant since 1917. The Russian Republic embraces the idea of being the Third Rome, as is shown in its emblems and insignia. The Vatican City also claims to be a continuously Roman territory with the Gregorian University still using Latin as the language of instruction, and most of its territory is still situated in Rome. The last Roman and last Roman ruler are both yet to come, therefore, whichever way you want to cut it.

But knowing that this video was initially demonetised meant that someone either carelessly clicked a button or just thought it was just a simple war video with lots of gore and violence so definitely no thanks to KZbin. Highly unfair to those who rely on KZbin for income and having their videos be pushed less by the algorithm and having less exposure Back to watching!
