Elagabalus deserves a reassessment…I mean, sure he wasn’t great, but then again what we have are based on accounts of two individuals from his period…Also the comparison with Caligula and Nero is out of touch, mainly because Elagabalus was a child literally….he ended up assassinated when he became adult, whereas the other two were old enough to have already developed a personality, Elagabalus was still exploiting….
Philippe VI was not called the Fortunate sarcastically. He was called the Fortunate because his three healthy adult male cousins all died, and baby Jean died, which propelled Philippe from being fourth in line to the kingship, to becoming king.
What happened to the Roman history series? I was pretty hyped about it. I would assume its untimely end is due to the low view counts, but that really is inevitable due to you being a small channel that disappeared for the better part of a year. I did kind of feel like I was alone in my sentiments towards your series, as every comment is just "rank ___ country's monarchs". Anyways, I hope you're doing well brother
Here's a few that would have been cool to include. (Normie - Eldritch tier included) • The Trojans founded Rome • Brutus of Troy: Britain has always been a successor to the Trojans / Romans • The rape of the Sabine Women was justified • The Sibylline Books were real prophecies • Rome's Aeneid-based history was lost in the first sack of Rome • Archimedes used death claws, canons and lasers • The Antikythera Mechanism was from the future • The Siege of Chalcedon's tunnel bears and meteorites • _“Take it, thou sot”_ • Locusta’s death by giraffe • The Flavian Dynasty invented Christianity as a psyop • Rome had nano-technology • Legio IX Hispana "disappeared" • Diocles was the richest athlete ever • Aurelian was the Second Coming of Christ • San Marino is the oldest country in the world today • The vase of Soissons • King Arthur was a time-traveller • The Oera Linda Book is real history • The Crusades were bussin', actually • The Western Empire fell in 1283 AD • John VI was the worst Roman emperor • Thomas Palaiologos • Finland is the Empire's true successor
The idea of every senator being a closeted gay man, being jealous of Caesar’s sexual relations with the king of Bithynia and then calling him the Queen of Bithynia just to spite him, WHILE ALL remaining closeted, is fcking hilarious to me XD
Sultan Mehmed II is the Ultimate Ottoman Sultan. Unlike Suleiman who killed 5 of his 6 sons except the drunkard one, Mehmed II's list of conquest is unmatched. Final ranking: 1) Mehmed II 2) Selim I 3) Suleiman 4) Orhan 5) Murad I 6) Murad II 7) Osman But my heroes are: Ertugrul, Alparslan (Seljuk), Osman, Mehmed II, Saladin (Ayubid)
"Unlike Suleiman who killed 5 of his 6 sons ..." You know, it was Mehmed II who legitimized this act of killing (fratricide), and he also killed his two year old brother.
As a Turkish person who is into history you have many many many errors in your judgement. Just an example; Osman the young was a great leader but did underestimate the politics and the power of janissaries. Mehmed the VI is considered to be worst ruler of all times by most, even worse than Abdülhamid II, Abdülaziz and the rest. Bayezid the thunderbolt was one of the best rulers with a single huge mistake of underestimating/insulting Timur much better than Bayezid II who should be in 20+ in the list. Murat IV must be in top 7 much better than Mehmet IV as he got lucky with grand vezirs and so on...
Augustus had carte blanche after all internal and external enemies were defeated. It's different if the country is bankrupt and you are beleaguered by barbarians.
My favourite theory is that the Flavians alongside the Herods and the Alexander's in Egypt created Christianity. And that the story of Jesus is simultaneously the story of Titus and Caesar. In thid theory Jesus is Ceasar, John the Baptist is Pompey Magnus, Judas is Brutus, Mary Magdalene is Cleopatra. But there are two stories hidden in the Gospels the other is that the story of Jesus follows the route of Titus in his campaign from the Sea of Gallalee to Jerusalem. The idea is that Flavius Josephus is the brains behind the operation.
I would put Suleiman the magnificent to 7th or 8th place as a Turkish. Murad the first and the second were better than him. Selim and Mehmed the second are also better than him.
Worst enemies of the roman empires. Are the family infighting in each dynasty of Rome and the crazy bad shit incompetent roman emperors 😅. The worst enemies are ppl who were once friends or family
I also think that Suleyman was the best Ottoman Sultan. Most notable for me was his siege of Vienna, quite sad he failed, but eh. You cant win everything.
Elagabalus was emperor from his 14th to is 18th when his grandmother had him and his mother killed and replaced by his nephew. Now What can be expected from such a lovely warm family dynamic. I'm pretty sure Caligula deserves to be the dead last on this list
Hello spectrum, just a question where is your pyrrhus series or video? You said you were working on such a video during this particular video so I’m just curious on the status of it?
