[@lovernotfighter]

@@HistoryExplained That's very interesting because years ago I read that Alexanders father Phillip thought up the idea of the phalanx and Alexander perfected it. Now I'm not so sure.

[@HistoryExplained]

William Edmondson Philip’s is referred to as the “Macedonian Phalanx”. I’m not sure how it differs from a traditional phalanx, but I know they are considered two separate formations.

[@stunseed8385]

Traditional phalanx is more a less a shield wall with the front rank using a thrusting spear to attack whatever is front whenever possible. Ranks in the back would push the ranks in the front to give the phalanx some 'pushing power' to break opposing formations. Macedonian uses long pikes i.e sarissas, to form a wall of spears. The 13-20 ft pikes makes getting close for melee a monumental task, and unlike the traditional phalanx, the ranks in the back can also overlap their pikes as well, so multiple ranks can poke at the enemy. While I doubt the thrusting power of a pike is that lethal, given the length, but i can imagine it's very good at pushing enemy lines back or at least keep them in place while Alexander would circle around with his cavalry, and destroy the enemies from the flank, or back. Classic hammer and anvil.

So it may be lies to credit so many inventions to people who were really heads of state, more like they 'allowed' them to work.

And follow it with this story The Atrahasis is the Akkadian/Babylonian epic of the Great Flood sent by the gods to destroy human life. Only the good man, Atrahasis (his name translates as `exceedingly wise’) was warned of the impending deluge by the god Enki (also known as Ea) who instructed him to build an ark to save himself. Atrahasis heeded the words of the god, loaded two of every kind of animal into the ark, and so preserved life on earth. Utnapishtim was first. there is also a third Mesopotamian flood story.

[@alexanderthegreat5352]

so dense with information and the animations is really making these people come to life, are the clothes/hairstyles/physical features historically accurate?

I really like your video’s! They are very good quality :) If I could give you a tip on how to attract an audience: try more well know periods/figures of history. I myself don’t mind watching less known history but I think other people would probably click on video’s faster! Otherwise the video was perfect!

[@HistoryExplained]

You might be right. I'll take it under consideration. Thank you for the advice and for watching!

[@nicoleflierl637]

I enjoy the "less known history" because if it wasn't for them, the consistent conquest, discovery, and inventions of Ancient times, we wouldn't have of so much of our modern world! 💜🌎

How interesting that the Akkadian godess of wisdom had owls as pet birds, just as Athena the Greek godess of wisdom has an owl as her totem animal.

[@HistoryExplained]

That is very interesting!
