How Religion Started The Bloodiest Wars In Human History | Holy Wars | Chronicle

At the end of the 11th century, West Roman Christianity was spreading out in all directions. The First Crusade set out to recapture the Holy Land from Islamic rule. The Seljuk takeover of the region threatened the local Christian populations, pilgrimages from the West, and the Byzantine Empire itself. It was not a battle of cultures, not a struggle against Islam, but a chaotic confrontation of warlords and princes.

Then it is most likely that the one piece of music was originally written by a very long dead European. Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, or whoever. No copyrights to music until fairly recently. If that music was an original work for the movie, it would be copyrighted. Everybody who used it commercially would need permission and would usually have to pay royalties. Including KZbin channels.

[@astudyinpanic]

German documentaries love to do that and I would guess this is originally a German production seeing that everyone interviewed is speaking German. It seems to be an older production though considering the format and overall looks. They are not necessarily without copyright either. There is a bunch of ZDF History documentations using the Game of Thrones theme song, it used to drive me insane. I guess the TV corporations just pay the royalties.

I really appreciate you translating right over the speaker , I almost heard what you were saying

[@AntiQris]

Sweetwater denotes fresh (non-brackish) water. Brack water was salt water and not good for setting up a village near. Has important context as well regarding malaria. After major tsunami floods one might assume that many streams with sweetwater could become tainted with a degree of brackish status. The Bernese and the Sino-Chinese peoples made great early notes on such. Neither say “L” quite like the English so I suspect many German and Italian lowland marshes deemed “black water” were due to being “brackwater” sources. Just a contextual thought to add to oh so many names occurring in our histories (post-orientalizia of Mediterranean/Mesopotamian/European/the isles etc..) My favorite is “Roman”. My rabbit hole lead me to “Óman” using the context through linguistic hunt. The pacific-Asian nations and Chinese use characters like the Egyptians used them. Words tell sequences over transliterated words. So you can copy paste a chinese/Japanese etc. word and note the meaning of each character and subtract and add back in such a way as to see the sequence of a race or a people group. I’ll leave it at that for y’all to play with but it has been a 100% accurate way thus far for me to understand better the bottleneck of our history. Worth playing with.

[@SBragg88]

"Brack water was salt water and not good for setting up a village near." Humans require sodium for our nervous system to work; hence why, the further back we look at sapien's history, we/they all tended to live near the sea and/or rivers that carried salt. Without salt humans enter hyponatremia, brain swells and you die. The bit on words is interesting. Does it tally with the use of music score? I understood that punctuation originated from music, using beats, and skips etc. which confuses some bits about; essentially hieroglyphics and the use of symbols. Other examples are that of the ancient Nordic cultures using runes no?

Jesus was a true man of peace in our world, this is the truth but, he did also preach the rapture, the day of his lord's coming into our worlds future! The bible proclaims that the Apocalypse( Greek word for the uncovering) must happen! So while it does so preach peace it's teachings do not stand behind them whole-heartedly! One cannot preach peace and then promote war as inevitable, it's hypocritical to do so! Is this not true! Namaste Peace Love Harmony

Whoever researched this video *failed to look at scriptural rationale* behind some of the wars. The writer failed to consider the _heavy criticism of Christians and Jews- a refrain throughout the Q. It resembles the tone of biblical passages which condemn Canaanites for any number of sins, thus giving Jews a rationale for not only settling the land, but clearing it (an attempt at genocide, which thankfully failed b/c it was half-hearted - well, according to the only account of it - which is found the bible). Reading the Q thoroughly reveals that after having read it wholly, a faithful reader would feel compelled to eliminate all of those who do no _submit_ to Islam, including doubters, which rank high as something akin to evildoers, rather than mere skeptics exercising caution.

Not nearly as honest about the evils of Islam as you should have been. Very sad to see the makers are either afraid or ignorant. So many unsightly details left out. A shame to hide from the truth.

Guess I,ll have to watch it all the way.The Muslims are not peaceful in any way.😊

Elect a king? I didn't vote for him .

[@JMDinOKC]

People don't believe me when I assert this to be true. For a while, nationalism took the place of religion, but it looks now like religion is re-emergjng as the most important cause of suffering and bloodshed.

No bias here 😂. Clearly a documentary put together by a university.

[@eigelgregossweisse9563]

It all mostly serves the human ego, God. Worship God, argue about God, so we can feel good about it. For power and control, essentially.

Should be "the Stoopid Wars"

[@TheApocalypseRace]

Like most documentaries, makes the Christians sound like the bullies and the world was the victims. What they don’t impress upon in the documentary is that the Muslim Turks were coming into Christian lands as the aggressors and wanted to wipe out the Christian faith altogether. And the Crusaders knew they could not just continue to play defense they had to press forward and go on the offense Or risk losing Christianity for all future. But I still very much enjoyed this video very informative learned a lot of things I did not know before

[@MrMustang13]

Yes this video quickly became a joke. Once they started talking about how terrific Islam is I lost respect for it.

Cultural Marxism is real

[@jennihudson9484]

This story is why l left “traditional” religion, it’s like the stories in the bible, and they are “stories” written by man for man, and corrupted. If a new leader/pope doesn’t agree with the latest version of the bible and its writings he has a new version printed that suits his agenda. Church leaders collect tithes/money, every Sunday and sends it of to headquarters and with that money comes power, and with power corruption, and that is what l have seen in these stories today. Some of these stories l listened to here are a fairy tales, corrupted historical versions to make the story tellers (so called professors) religious leanings sound more superior then the others….. Today l do not attend any religious gatherings nor do l participate in the blackmailing of the church, giving them my hard earned money with a promise it will save your soul and you will go to heaven….. l make my peace with my god in my own way “in his kingdom” when l feel the need to talk to him,l don’t need to pay a priest on a Sunday to speak for me or to tell me l’m a sinner, l am human and we’re are all sinner including the church…… So after watching and listening to this fairy tale l am disappointed that Chronicle has this on its website all l can say is thank heaven’s it was free because there is no way l would pay good money to sit and waste another hour and a half of my life watching religious history being polluted any more…...

I guess u just didn't want to be held accountable for ur actions lol. Humans need religion and God in their lives. U lost faith. Its not man made. Jesus came with a message to make society better.

[@markmcarthy596]

Exactly what turned Me away from religion and toward spirituality

[@TracyD2]

I think this is where a lot of people are heading. There always will be people trying to direct spirituality into something that will perpetuate fear. To control the masses of course. Even the New Age communities are resembling organized religions. Love is where we all should be headed. Hopefully the rest of it will drop away.

The sins of man turned you away from God?

[@GodsOath_com]

It's naive to think God is not in control of throwing down the violent with the violent. Jesus said, do not think that I come to bring Peace on the earth, but a sword. The evil shall kill the wicked, Psalm 34:21. The peacemakers shall inherit the earth Jesus said.

[@mohammedsuleman580]

You are twisting scripture, when JESUS said: Matthew 10:34-37 KJV Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. This scripture has nothing to do with physical warfare, instead it is saying there will be a division among person and their family because of Faith in CHRIST and disbelief in him.

SIDE NOTE: Is anybody else tired of that same Progressive Insurance commercial? - over&over&over&over-again-and-againand... Holy crap! I'd buy just about any other insurance by now - the loop is gonna make me puke! The naked greed of KZbin and their monotonous add campaigns are killing the brand. Now, back to the program ➡

[@AConcernedCitizen420]

Yeah I am willing to pay $15.99 for KZbin premium to keep from going mad. It used to be $9.99 but I guess they know how to heard sheep. 😂
