Can we all just take a second to applaud Medieval Madness for not changing his videos to be full of AI generated images like so many other creators of this stuff do now. Its so much better knowing you are looking at real images that took time to research and know you're listening to a reap voice. So much of this stuff now on KZbin is just full of lazy AI generated generic images of people with a generic AI voice and i don't know about you but i find that to be heavy uncanny valley when watching and it puts me off instantly. This is still so professional compared to all that stuff. Well done.

Great way to contextualize these events we've learned about, and kind of all know happened around the "Middle Ages." But centuries are incredibly difficult for the human brain to put into context.

Yeah but the European slave trade was strongly racialized and led to the foundations for modern racial hierarchies. The Arab slave trade was significantly less racialized. Like for example, the enslaved people and their descendants from the Arab slave trade ended up being integrated into society whilst the European slave trade destroyed societies, led to the colonial system and depopulated regions in Africa.

@patricknowlan8821 2 ай бұрын

@binmanbinman ???? Slavery is slavery mate, The Ottoman slave trade was devastating, with an estimated 1-1.25 million Europeans captured and sold into slavery between the 15th and 19th centuries. The Ottoman Empire also enslaved a large portion of its population, with about one-fifth of the population in the 16th and 17th centuries being slaves. Here are some other details about the Ottoman slave trade: Slaves sold for different prices The price of a slave depended on their race, and they were considered to be suitable for different tasks based on their race and ethnicity. Female sex slaves Female sex slaves were sold in the Ottoman Empire until 1908. The devshirme system This system involved the forced removal of children from their families and their conversion to Islam. Some of these children were trained for government service or served in the Janissaries, the Ottoman Empire's elite military corps. The Anglo-Ottoman Convention of 1880 This convention was intended to address the slave trade in the Red Sea, but it was not enforced in practice. Yeah really sounds like they weren't racist considering that your prices and the jobs youd do in society as a slave was directly proportional to your skin colour. The force rape of women and young girls, the forced conversion to Islam, yeah so much better then the Europeans, and let's not talk about how the Africans would fight each other, enslave their rival tribe and then sell them on the market, I am not down playing European slavery but I am saying that slavery and the treatment of slaves are the normal in those days, Korea has the longest Unbroken tradition of slavery in human history, see everyone practiced it and everyone were assholes about it

The format is great, and it's a good basis for understanding a lot of medieval events. However, I feel that the selection of dates is a bit strange at times. The exploration of the Western European timeline is generally good (the Moorish invasion of Spain would've been relevant to mention, as well as the Cathar civil war and the Viking explorations over the Atlantic), but the video glosses over a lot of significant events in the East or Central Europe; a few examples: the invasions of the Huns, Magyars and Mongols into Europe; a lot of significant Byzantine events are ignored; if I had to pick one, the 1204 Sack of Constantinople is probably one of the top 10 most significant events in medieval history. The 1299 Fall of Acre, ending the Crusader presence in the Holy Land, also significant, as was the fall of Jerusalem in 1187. I'm not saying non-European history is insignificant, but just mentioning the Aztec Empire and some Japanese novel is a bit odd too. The Inca Empire was also significant, for one thing.

@flagcoco69 5 ай бұрын

I know you had just 15 minutes to cover a thousand years of worldwide history, and you did a splendid job. So I know, something like this, you can only pick the highlights. I would have chosen the Nika Revolt in 536, where political tensions united the people of Constantinople against Justinian, who was on the verge of fleeing when his wife, Theodora, talked him into standing up to the crowd, which resulted in the slaughter of maybe 30,000 citizens at the Hippodrome. That event salvaged everything Justinian accomplished, from kind of reuniting the Roman Empire to his codified laws which you mentioned, and it kept the Byzantine Empire going, which survived until the Fall of Constantinople in 1453, which again you mentioned. Had Justinian abdicated, the remnants of the Roman Empire would have died with him. Some scholars, believing the Byzantines continued the Roman Empire right up to the dawn of the Renaissance, believe Rome in all its forms lasted over 2000 years; had the Nika Revolt been successful, that would have been shortened to about half that.

You might get the Beatles / 60s cultural revolution and you will probably get the rise of the internet and the effects it had on globalisation, but other than that.. the politics, market crashes, wars, even the covid pandemic probably won't even amount to a second's worth of content!
