[@bigmac7077]

Wealth, fame, power. Gold Roger, the King of the Pirates, attained everything this world has to offer. And so, many men head for the Grand Line to find the great treasure he left behind, the One Piece. The world has truly entered a Great Pirate Era!

man you have no idea how happy it makes me to hear all the signs that you guy actually know what you are talking about. a lot of history channels on youtube just find the first blog post about the topic they are making a video about and go with that, its often easy to see their information is skin deep. So when i hear you refrence the more historically accurate names, events, etc. its brings me no end of joy to know someone out here cares about making real historical content.

[@pimplordcthulhu2369]

Mesmerizing video - an encyclopedia of pirate history and mythology, wonderfully regaled as moments of bloody, Impossibly gorgeous and engaging pirate lore. A welcoming connection with the pirate ethos beginning to give credit due for their incredible affect in shaping history (ex: Sea Peoples/Bronze Age Collapse; Sea Dogs/defeat of the Spanish Empire).

[@RobZombii]

I live in The Bahamas and we learned a lot about the age of piracy of the New World in history class. Watching this brought back a lot of memories. Found myself calling out names during the video before they were announced just from hearing a small description lol. Great work. P.S.: Gonna boot up AC: Black Flag now just to do some pirating.🤣

[@uriustosh]

Great video. It has to be said that despite its not being historically accurate, Black Sails is a wonderful show about piracy. The blend of historical and fictional characters gives it quite the plethora of colorful characters, and the cast knocks them all out of the park.

[@jakelynch5113]

different times call a different mindset

[@Mcbignuts]

Most pirates were poor ppl who choose to live a life of danger on the high seas, instead of living in shit like their poor peasent forefathers, they were brave ambitious men at heart and ppl respect that, they were enormous risk takers, who were ruthless in nature, predatory in mindset and ferocious in combat, basically an elite calibre of outlaw whose domain was the unforgiving sea These guys operated and lived in a level of freedom unthinkable nowadays, like Somalia on steroids

[@IsengardMordor]

This is my problem with people who glorify vikings too. Do these people find what Russians are doing in Ukraine right now cool too? I understand that vikings had cool aesthetics but that's about it (and let's be real, even the aesthetics probably aren't nowhere near as cool as movies make them look like. Also, nobody will be playing Heilung in the background while you're commiting war crimes).
