They had a compass? How did it work?

[@jaime8317]

Huh ? These arent Victorian cities, or structures lol. The Victorian era isn't ancient..yet.

When it comes to, say, the Egyptian pyramids or anything African, then the slaves who worked on those buildings were whipped and tortured, but when it comes to European slaves, everyone would want to be a slave, because two out of three were either accountants or bankers, that's how it's presented! If only I could at least once watch a historical documentary that is purely factual and historically accurate, without serving as propaganda material!

[@moomfas]

I don't know what you watch, but it's been proven long time ago already that the pyramid builders were not slaves

[@fikaa2388]

@@moomfas Harvard magazine: "Rooted firmly in the popular imagination is the idea that the pyramids were built by slaves serving a merciless pharaoh. This notion of a vast slave class in Egypt originated in Judeo-Christian tradition and has been popularized by Hollywood productions like Cecil B. De Mille's The Ten Commandments, in which a captive people labor in the scorching sun beneath the whips of pharaoh's overseers. But graffiti from inside the Giza monuments themselves have long suggested something very different,, Watch any movie about pharaohs and pyramids and get back to me!

Incredulous...None of these important ancient metropolises are actually THAT old; since in terms of Humanity's antiquity, cities like Rome, Carthage, Athens, and Alexandria emerged nearly "yesterday" if one compares them to Uruk (Sumer), Babylon, Nineveh (Assyria), and Thebes (Egypt) which were already ancient when any of the former ones emerged. Indeed, while Uruk surfaced circa 4500 BCE, Rome claims to have been founded circa 753 BCE, thereby making the former much older than the latter vis-a-vis how old the Romans are to us (in the 21st century CE)

[@TheDavidlloydjones]

You don't sound incredulous. You sound very controlled about these really quite amazing differences in era.

[@jaime8317]

The documentary is about "ancient powerful cities" ...and they're all considered "ancient". What do older ones have to do with it ? Ancient powerful cities, not the MOST ancient powerful cities...quit trying to look intelligent and informed..no one's interested...if you want them to be ..produce your own video..

[@HeyItsJ1_]

No one discredited those cities. You’re just looking for attention

[@LOUISE__97]

Found the guy that always has to be contrarian just so he can hear himself talk lol.

[@dpm2515]

A documentary created/produced by Europeans, made specifically for a European audience about their ancestors' accomplishments, society, history etc ...is it incredulous or common sense???
