There are serveral Arches of Triumph in Rome: The most famous being The Arch of Septimus Severus and The Arch of Titus in the Roman Forum and The Arch of Constantine close to the Colosseum.

[@NoProtocol]

I didn’t know that! There are way more than I thought there were in the world

[@knuthenriksommer4982]

@@NoProtocol The tradition of celebrating triumphs started in Rome and was a priviledge granted to romans having led and won a large battle. This was the only time soldiers were allowed inside the sacred border of Rome. The arch of Titus is interesting and celebrates the victory over the jewish rebellion in year 70 with the sacking of the temple in Jerusalem, the last time the Jews had a temple to worship God in. Today only the western wall of the base stands and is used by Jews for prayers. The war ended with the mass-suicide on Massada, where Israeli soldiers today is sworn into service. The relief on the inside of the arch depits the victory-procession carrying the spoils of war from the temple.

Hi, I just discovered your channel and watched all of your George Carlin reactions ( keep digging through his material by the way) and I've istantly fell in love with it. I love the quick intros, the sharp commentaries (and their unintrusive placement) and the fact that you're very respectful of the content you're reacting to. It took just a look at you to see you're very intelligent and not the usual...reactioner? Reactioness? Reactionist? Reaction Person?? Whatever, this is the first and likely the only reaction channel I'll actually subscribe to and follow. Keep up the good work, best wishes from Italy.

That was a lot of information! Very nicely presented too!

[@MasterIceyy]

The Arch De Triomphe was was originally a roman invention I believe, Returning Generals would pass beneath the arch as well as their soldiers in a parade in order for the people to celebrate the general on their victorious return, it was an honour to be bestowed a Triumph. Most European cities have them for this reason or because of the lingering fascination and attachment to Rome through-out European history. There are about 20 modern Arch's in total around the world, 1 in North Korea, Laos, Indonesia, India, Romania, England, Spain, Italy, Russia and Germany. 4 in France, with 2 in Paris, and 1 Marseille and Montpellier respectively. The United States has 3, located in New York, Las Vegas, and Kansas City. There are 7 remaining Ancient Roman Arch's left 3 in Italy, 2 in France, 1 in Greece, 1 in Algeria and 1 in Libya

Something I found interesting at the DMZ was the cross border traffic. To my best recollection our guide said that there was some sort of special economic zone near the border in North Korea. North Korean labour has competitive wages, which is attractive to some sorts of manufacture. So parts, or what not, would be shipped north for assembly and finished goods back south for sales.

The triumph arches were started by the Roman empire I believe

[@dragonfly.effect]

A viewpoint that I find particualarly eye-opening is that of N. Korean defectors, mostly in S. Korea or U.S. Two YT channels that often feature interviews with these people are Dimple (mostly NK) and Asian Boss, which has many such among their more general content. As for arches des triomphes, the word & concept "triumph" is a Roman invention, and referred to a mass public celebration of a military leader following an important victory. They date back to the Republic, but were especially important during the Empire. Many Roman arches were actually built on the conquered territory rather than in Rome itself. Only (long?) after the fall of Rome did other cultures begin to imitate the archtectural structure as a military commemoration, but generally with some local substitute for the Roman-style triumphal ceremonies.

I recommend checking a documentary called Loyal citizens of Pyongyang, where they talk about north koreans in south korea.

There's a triumphal arch in London too: Marble Arch, and one could argue that the Brandenburg Gate is one too. Yes, I know it says "gate", but look at the thing! It's not gating anything and has them horsies at the top!

[@nari5025]

It was built as a toll gate, then rebuilt as a "really impressive" toll gate, then Napoleon took the horsies away and only when he was defeated it became a triumphal arch. For a brief time it was a border crossing, and then it was walled off. Now it symbolises the triumph of the removal of both wall and border i guess. (but it is hideously cramped in between the buildings next to it, so the wall is still there too )

[@Srga91]

Regarding triumphal arches, I don't think it necessarily has to do with something war-related or France. There is one in the Austrian city of Innsbruck, located in the city center. It was built in 1774 to commemorate the wedding of archduke Leopold of Habsburg (Austria) and the Spanish princess Maria Ludovica. Maybe the arch is a general symbol of victory?!

Some points that are nice to be aware and think about when criticizing the 'authoritarian regime' that they have there: "They can''t acces KZbin": They are technically at war, and the US stand with the other side. Other than that, they suffer from a lot of economic blockades. But specifically about KZbin, they probly could have it if KZbin agreed to theirs terms of what content can be allowed there... as they do agree with all other countris they are in. "Its a dinasty": Their constituiton is public on the internet and they they have democratic elections. You can of course think it is strange that the same family keeps winning it, but they do have it. Also, UK literally has a monarchy till this day, a constitutional one but i mean... * It is nice to read about the people participation on their pollitical system there, they have far more say on stuff than most other coutries. "They have pictures of their former presidents at schools": Well we have those here on brazil, pictures of the current mayor mostly. Also... Mount Rushmore... that was built on top of a sacred mountain for the natives... "You can' travel to NK without government permition": Can you travel to any country without government permition? "They have approved hairstyles": Pretty sure that is just fake. "Religious literature": They have a lot of christian churches there just check on google maps. See if that is prohibited on their constituition. * Actually he says it does not prohibit it but that it is limited, based on... i guess he just knows that... "It is a closed country": They also have lots of foreign embassys there, more than some other countryes... "Oh they have lots of bombs": Still at war and gets threatened by the US a lot, sometimes they use its military force to get basic trading going on without getting smashed by some kind of blockade. Don't get me wrong they do have lots of limitations, from water to food to acces to some basic stuff. But they are not the evil North Korea either. The geography now videos are biased A LOT. They did it on the Brazil's video too, they even say that the deforestation of the amazon rainforest is to grow more food when that is just not true, most of our soil is used to plant commodities, that we do not eat and most of it gets exported (That is true for the meat production too, it just gets exported). One great video about North Korea is the 'We Went To North Korea To Get A Haircut' one by the channel BoyBoy. They just go there and film it and get a nice haircut. That's it, liked your reactions a lot.

I’ll reccomend a really good book I read 20 moons or so ago. _Korea's Place in the Sun: A Modern History_ (Bruce Cummings, 1997). Yeah, out of date today, as it doesn’t cover anything from the intervening years between now and 1997, BUT, the thing about books written at any particular time: the things glossed-over in a book written today (using both the prosaic and academic meanings of “gloss”) are gone into in greater detail. Plus there’s the zeitgeist of the times thing, if you see the value in that mode of retrospection. Side comment: an interesting thing to me about the fairly new phenomenon of “reactors” is, it’s an opportunity for KZbinrs to vary by interest, personality, approach, etc., etc. and stray from the whatever formula is becoming consensus. An opportunity not everyone trying it out is fully comfortable taking (maybe no one is). I’m fascinated by the contrasts. Whether it’s done consciously, semi-consciously, or not, your content appears (imo) to be on the edges of the emerging consensus (whatever that is), which I appreciate! Specifically, being educated and (I’m guessing) I and many others intake information more easily when sharing with someone apparently just being themselves. I dunno, a lot of us are less social since the internet, especially if we’re not presently employed, and my guess is a lot of people enjoy what virtual one-sided-ish company (you KZbinrs) we keep to be people who can’t be bothered with trying (too) hard to match a “formula for success”, while forsaking some large piece of who they are.
