And I've also heard the reason February has only 28 days is: March used to be the first month of the year (which also explains September to December having those names, as they used to be numbers 7-10. And the old names for July and August were Quintilis and Sextilis (5 and 6)), the days that would later become January and February didn't belong to any month initially, then those new months were made, January with 31 and February with 30. Julius wanted an extra day for July, so he took it from February, and Augustus wanted an extra day for August, so he also took it from February, leaving February with 28 days (until leap years were invented)

He'd have a hard time adjusting to the time pacing of modern combat. Due to better Comms, transportation and long range weapons, what used to take weeks now takes hours, hours reduced to minutes. That and the plethora of information to account for, as well as adding a third dimension to the fight (air support) and highly advanced deception (you hardly could hide a sizeable group of soldiers back then that could do significant damage, but now even a single squad of highly trained and well-equipped professionals can wreak havoc in the rear lines). That and the drones, sattelites and a whole bunch of guys in the HQ of the opposing force working together to outsmart him. Modern combat is way more team-based.

I mean the new truly great empire was the Spanish Empire. They invent a lot of navigational apparels, improve the cartography science a lot, import the potato, the paprika, the tomato, the vanilla, the lima beans, peanuts, cocoa. They founded a lot of universities, hospitals and other industries in the first century of conquest. The SE "colonies" (they was not) are poor right now due to the creole corruption and injerence of USA. However, Chile and Costa Rica are in a better position than most. In Asia the Phillipines were part of Spain, but after independence their situation worsened. All empires commit attrocities, but some more than others. Always consult more than a source of information.

Can you imagine trying to explain to Roman's what vaccines are? I don't think they would be opposed to being immune to diseases that killed countless people from their time (unlike anti-vaxers) but just trying to explain why you need to stab them with glass thingys would be difficult.

Apparently vaccination was invented in the west in the 18th century. The old ‘rub infectious natter onto your wound’ kind. No idea how to do it for people who are, at the latest, more than a millennium before this development.

The subsequent video should be "Karen visits ancient Rome".
