3 Hours Of Facts About The Ancient World's Greatest Leaders

[@hectorpascal]

The truth about being a great leader in ancient times, is that if you are NOT prepared to be ruthless, you won't last long!

[@duanedodson1]

The most ruthless lasted the least amount of time.

[@Jakesgotcakes]

definitely one of the best history channels to exist. Thanks for everything

[@duanedodson1]

Most definitely not, there are a few good shows on this channel, but there are many that are better. Over the years, I have noticed, the more corporate the channel, the less the channel has to offer.

41:15 The creation of the Praetorian Guard was a strategic mistake by Augustus, (as future events would later show). Rather than guarding the Emperor, they engaged in politics and made themselves kingmakers. No Emperor could rise to the purple without the support of these mercenaries and huge donatives were unnecessarily paid to buy them off. Subsequent Praetorian Prefects even fancied their chances and overthrew their bosses. Sejanus made an attempt against Tiberius but failed. However Macrinus pulled off a successful coup and had Caracalla assassinated. And Philip the Arab had Gordian the Third killed and became Emperor.

Wow, this video was really well done! I loved how you presented the lives of these leaders. However, I can't help but feel like some of the leaders mentioned don't deserve as much praise as they get. For example, while Julius Caesar is often glorified, his methods were pretty ruthless. What do you all think?

23:00 A marriage of convenience. Arranged marriages to cement political or social alliances were the norm amongst the Roman elite. Marriage was viewed as a social contract, not a romantic venture. Octavia did not love Mark Anthony and the same was true on his part. Everyone in Rome knew that Octavia had a crush on Agrippa, Octavian's bosom friend and Roman general. They had an affair which scandalized the whole of Rome and infuriated Mark Anthony.

13:39 Correct me if I am mistaken or wrong, but the Roman historian, Suetonius wrote that as Brutus struck Caesar with a dagger, the latter uttered these words in Greek :"Kai Su Teknon" which translated into English meant :"Even you, son".

Damn, as in Every one hated him?

21:58 A little known fact about the battle of Philippi is that the Roman poet, Horace supported and fought with the Republicans. After their defeat, he defected to Octavian's side and became the chief propagandist for the Principate writing many odes, limericks and poems praising Augustus and his policies.

The Narrator sounds like Roddy McDowall, who interestingly enough, portrayed Octavian in the classic movie CLEOPATRA (Fox, 1963).

The Pharaoh's name is properly Ramoses II, not Ram-sees or Ram-mee-sees. Ramoses means "child of Ra". Moses was a common ancient Egyptian name, meaning "child" or "born of". His full double cartouche titulary is (Ramoses Meri-Amen) (Usir-Mayat-Ra Setep-en-Ra). It is a powerful name in ancient Egyptian magical 'hekau sekhem' or 'words of power'. His name means (Child of Ra, Beloved of Amen) (Mighty in the Truth/Justice of Ra, Chosen of Ra).

Ra means Sun in ancient Egyptian in modern Hebrew Moses means child or extracted from water I thought in ancient Egyptian it meant king so Sun King Ra Moses or Ramses it makes sense that it is king because all the Egyptian pharaohs including Jewish Moses would have this moniker- child is a Hebrew modern interpretation of the word- interestingly the Ramses statue in the louvre museum has the inscription the chosen one so now you know where that started

[@TheDejael]

@@dudester788 You almost have it. Keep studying. Moses is an Egyptian name, Moshe is the Hebrew.

[@dudester788]

@@TheDejael not the actual word but the definition is Jewish Tut Moses king tut -the Jewish Moses was the pharaoh or king but gave up the throne but kept the name. If it meant child all the peasants would use it -at that time only kings used the word and definitely nobody Jewish would use the word. Patrick is nobility in Italian the patricians were Italian nobility but Nero would never name his child Patrick name meanings change upon who are using them and most importantly the time period. Some Italians use Patricio and Patricia but are not Irish they are using the original meaning.

@@dudester788 Do you also read and write, and speak, ancient Egyptian, as I do? I think not! Keep studying.

[@TheDejael]

@@dudester788 Do you also read and write, and speak ancient Egyptian language, as I do? I think not! I have been studying archaeology and Egyptology for more than 50 years. Keep studying.

[@irtnyc]

Is this a human who doesn't know how to pronounce some of the names, and words? Or an AI, who doesn't know how to pronounce some of the names, and words?

[@andrewlanham1372]

Nero DID NOT burn Rome. Cmon man, that has been debunked a long time ago

[@Adalasia]
