I love this podcast and was looking forward to a true depiction of kemet. Your storytelling is incredible, but alas... even here tall tales are whispered. I bid this podcast farewell. It was a great journey.
Havent listened to a single of these yet and not got goosebumps, and the actual feeling of travelling back to their times and imagining how they lived. Will be a sad day when i finally get through all these. Think this will be the first patreon i ever pay for, they are truly awe inspiring.
There are some people, especially in the Middle East, that the Sumerians learned civilization from outside the Earth and that they were working for civilized beings called the Anunnaki. I hope you will research this matter. Is it just imagination or is there evidence?
Most likely they were paying the Votadini, not the Picts. The Pictish confederations were farther north. The Picts eyed the Lothian's with some jealously, but were never able to conquer the area. The fortress of Eidyn, modern Edinburgh, being their nemesis Northern Britain was a pain I'm sure, but it never had anything worth taking. A poor and scattered population, no great ability to produce large quantities of agricultural produce, like Egypt, no silver, gold or tin mines. The tribes doing the raiding were most likely not the Picts. The Votadini were most unlikely to allow their sworn enemies to cross their territory to have a bash at the Romans when they themselves would have been the target of the following reprisals. The Picts and their enduring mystery have become popular in recent years, but they were only one of the many tribes and tribal groups in Caledonia who resisted, or were bought off, by Rome.
It’s hilarious to me that Paul just straight up calls Ibi’s pyramid “sad”. More than 4000 years later, and this guy is still catching strays for how lame and pathetic his final resting place is.
Listen at normal speed for audiophiles and asmr enthusiasts. Some might use 1.5x for a quick learn or 2.0 speed for a brushup. Great listening and learning in all cases.
Yes, probably. So many things were overlooked in our history. Imaginr that bronze age people, actually knew about iron and used it for ceremonial purposes.... it still took a lot of time, for them to realise that a more usefull and cheaper metal, can help them more than bronze
Seems like i stumbled upon my new third shift binge material. I love podcasts reformatted for RU-vid because i mostly cant watch (because im working). Shout out to the king of that format, fact boy, simon whistler
A seafaring people discovered and populated Easter Island, which at the time was forested, and could have provided the means to fish. But I have never read a discussion of how the knowledge of seafaring could have been lost without a trace.
When people ask, what are you watching on RU-vid? I say, Fall of Civilizations. And this video on the Aztecs is my favorite. I learned about the Aztecs in school, but after viewing this I realize I only knew about 5% of their history. Thanks!
Today I started renovating my living room and forgot to press space to stop the youtube player so autoplay did its thing. Suffice to say my living room is spanking new and I am now an armchair historian.
I’ve been watching for awhile now, already as this is some of my favorite historian content but also easy to fall asleep too! My favorite video is the fall of the Roman Empire second to the fall of Phoenicians. Wirtual sends his love! We listened to this while he climbed Deep Dip 2. Thank you for the amazing historical content.
I wonder where all the architects plans are for the pyramids, or like was there even plans for those 10,000 workers each day to follow or was it all in the minds of just a couple of people giving orders... was there paper at this time of the pyramids... so buzzy to think of back then
This is perhaps one of the saddest of all these great episodes. The Carthaginians were killed and enslaved and were basically scattered/wiped out. They don't exist anymore. Nor does their civilization. Makes one think...
