Technically, since Zero of Citium (founder of Stoicism) was a disciple of the Cynic tradition, Stoicism gets most of its Socratic influence by way of Antisthenes and Diogenes, rather than Plato. Indeed the only major Platonic school in the Hellenistic period, the Skeptics, specifically attacked the Stoics on many occassions. After Skepticism went out of fashion and Middle Platonism arrived on the scene during the Roman period, Stoicism was so dominant in Greece that the Middle Platonists adopted many of their dogmas, so the influence actually goes the opposite way. The reason that Plato and Aristotle became such dominant philosophers in later times is that their philosophy was seen as compatible with monotheism by early Christians and Muslims.

Paul was a hellenistic jew who claimed to have roman citizenship, the gospels were written in greek! had it not be for hellenistic influence on the levant and jewish culture, christianity could've been a strictly minor religion and islam wouldn't have been born. socratic dynasty should've been the number 1 by a quite far margin than the rest.

The video turned wonky when you stretched the definition of a "Dynasty" at the end. I think there's a difference between continuity by physical & ideological succession. That said, since Zadokite priesthood is hereditary, I can accept that one. The Guptas & Han were severely underrated due to western bias. The Guptas endorsed & spread the Dravidic religions (the 2nd largest religious group in the world). They are what Rome is to Asia in terms of religious influence & culture The Han did not develop in isolation. In fact, their prosperity served as a stimulus for the perpetuation of trade & cultural influence (trade with China & India literally spurred the Silk Road & Age of Exploration). They influenced philosophy (Confucian thought, meritocracy & bureaucracy). Some inventions made during their time were so basic as to be overlooked but were integral to the function of the modern world as it is (paper, paper money, compass, block print, etc).

Several important parts of the world several important ancient dynasties were excluded and he changed his reason for including dynasties parts way into the video. Then.... "Most important dynasty of all time"... I thought this video was about the greatest of the ancient times? He should have defined what it means to be a great dynasty right at the beginning... as he did for his other videos. And then he could have had a way easier time to include or exclude cultures, schools of thinking or military dynasties. Otherwise... Why not just make seperate videos about those kind of dynasties?

@@oliverkroker527 This is how I feel as well. But again, it is really hard to define what is "great" and what is "ancient". Chinese dynasties often span for a few hundred years and more importantly the dynasties are almost exclusively kept within the same family. Since more than one Egyptian and Greek/Roman dynasties are allowed on the list. I can easily name a few other "ancient" Chinese dynasties that are just as "great" if not greater. At least in China, Tang dynasty is probably more highly regarded than Han dynasty as it is a truly open and highly prosperous society. Although Song Dynasty is weak militarily, but culturally and economically, it is probably ahead of the rest of the world for a few hundred years. Anyway, it is good to see things through different lens.

@@Cosmo_YTdoesstuff That is why I said his definition is unclear. Normally ancient in european/ american context means before the 6th. century after christ. It's a defined timeframe. A great dynasty has to be defined beforehand. The reason why there are those dynasties on the list has nothing to do with asian dynasties bein worth less then those european/ mediteranean but everything with them being nominated instead of others. Therefore I told Matt that he should have done this differently. Either having allowed more dynasties to be nominated or letting each of those historians (?) nominating a list of ten and then doing a lifestream with them to discuss the lists and make a final one.

@@oliverkroker527 I agree. Even now, Chinese history text book put the Opium War in mid-19 Century as the mark for the end of "Ancient History", which is a very different from an European perspective. And the idea of "Dynasty" is just very very different between different parts of the world. Japanese royal family has always claimed that they are the descendent of Amaterasu Omikami, which means that there is only one dynasty throughout its history. From a length point of view, it would certainly make to the top of the list. I think it might be better if the video does not have a "ranking", which necessarily imply that one is better than another. "10 great dynasties" of ancient world would still be a great video to watch.

Some historians have critisized the somewhat idealized image of the "Adoptive Emperors". All of them (except the elderly Nerva) married into the families of their predecessors and there is quite some evidence that they tried to establish dynasties of their own. It just so happened that they had no sons, so they were forced to adopt one of their generals. It wasn't a meritocratic system but pure genetic accident that produced this line of Emperors. Once one of them (Marcus Aurelius) had a son (Commodus), the concept of adoption was thrown out of the window, because establishing a dynasty was the goal of virtually every roman ruler (except for Nerva, but he was very old and had no children; he was just a transitional ruler.)

As far as I know, there is know ecvidence for a meritocratic "system" of succession - they just were comparatively competent rulers without sons at a time when the Roman Empire was relatively stable and faced no major foreign threats. (Except for the latter part of Marcus Aurelius' reign).

In my opinion, I feel that the Socratic dynasty was kind of a bad pick. I thought the Zadokitss were interesting, and they make sense. But I feel the socratics stretched the term too much. My other issue is that with the Roman dynasty on there, we have to remember that a lot of their success was built directly on that of its predecessors. In the case of the Mauryans or Achaemenids, what they did for their glory as a dynasty in my opinion was far more impressive. I feel that the Nerva-Antonine dynasty should be moved to Number 6-5, the Zadokites to number 2, Achaemenids to 1, the Hans to 3, and the mauryans above the Nerva Antonines.

I have to disagree with this list as it's very dependent on the "founding father" theory and perspective. You could argue that even the ancient philosophers and priests drived their works from earlier works that came from other cultures. Which is an argument that holds up when we consider what we know. You can also argue that humans can generally always come up with the ideas so you don't need the perspective of: "only the "great man" can be so great as to think of that." Basically if they didn't think of "it" someone would have sooner or later. Think Karl Marx and communism. If he didn't write the communist manifesto someone around the same time would've wrote something with generally similar ideas. As this was the time of the rise of the middle class. because of this I don't think this list holds up.

It's not about liking. Cholas and Guptas were more influential, than Mauryans. Gupta's literally gave number system, zero, chess, bought advancement in the Civilization. It didn't just impacted the indian subcontinent but the whole world. Guptas easily from India. The Golden Age of India was under Guptas.

I thought for sure the Achaemenids would have taken the whole competition down for #1 then I remembered "oh, right, EGYPT" LOL. I think an honest list of the Top 100 Dynasties in History has to include all Egyptian ones at the top 10 or more. Frankly their ability to establish groundwork for stable successors is basically unmatched.

this list is kind of.... ridiculous. a lot of these are correct, but 'Socratic' dynasty? To consider a teacher-student lineage a dynasty pushes the concept of 'dynasty' past what any given person would understand it as. And then you have the Han at 5 which is incredibly low. This dynasty is top 3, at the very least. And then to not even INCLUDE the 18th dynasty of Egypt or the Macedonian dynasty?.... but what they hell do I know, that's just my opinion. I still thought it was a fun video ;)

This is so typical of a western-influenced narrative. The Judeo-Christian and their ancient Greek and Roman ancestors are at the top of the most prominent civilisations in history; while in fact, the most influential civilisations rose in the fertile crescent (like the Babylonian and ancient Egyptian civilisations), the Idian subcontinent and ancient China. Because most of the human civilisarion turning points happened there like; writing, agriculture, laws.

Or the Abbasid dynasty who preserved all of that Socratic wisdom while Europe was burned by a bunch Germanic warlords and the steppe peoples?

Tamils are very lucky. Ashoka was shocked seeing the death of the millions of people during his last conquest of Kalinga kingdom, which is another North Indian kingdom. Hearing the results of the Kalinga conquest all the other Indian kings surrendered to the emperor Ashoka. Also he found it is very difficult to manage a large empire with several different cultures. So he let the remaining kings rule their kingdoms. Those kings paid their tribute to the emperor Ashoka. So Ashoka stopped training military and Created an innocent ruling principle called Ashoka Dhamma which was influenced by Buddhism. He sent his delegate to the other powerful kingdoms of the world from Greek to South East Asia. He also sent his message to those countries as well. Since he didn’t give any military training to his children the Mawurya empire fallen within 100 years after Ashoka. Some of Ashoka’s children became monks even.

You can't set a par or a criteria on how to judge the best Dynasty, consider if it was about size, mongol empire, british empire? In that case Russia is the best country in the world, which clearly isn't the fact. Most populous? China? Probably not the best one. Richest? USA? Well it has more internal issues than some mediocre countries in Europe or South east/east asia. The list goes on, every dynasty was best at probably in some certain things but the bests overlap one another
