Well, I think it was certainly established before 681, as the state ruled by the patrician Crovat (Greek: Χουβρατις, Κροβατον), is no different from the state ruled by prince Isperich. As for the Turkic theories, they rest on no evidence.
Oni, are armored up Samurai. Considering commoners could be killed simply because a samurai wanted to test the quality of his blade, or for any sign, real or imagined, of disrespect, oni/samurai were the embodiment of calamity.
@@HistoryXplored Everything is right and the video is quite accurate, except that the Bulgarians were a Turkic tribe. This is already a long-time rejected theory, but it is still very common among world wide historians. This may be because the Bulgars were conquered and ruled by the Avars and the West Turkic Khaganate for several decades and influenced them at that time in the late 6th and early 7th centuries, and it was difficult for historians in the past to distinguish them from Turkic tribes. But nowhere in the historical sources, neither Greeks, nor Armenians, nor Latins they are mentioned as Turks, but as Scythians from the Pontic steppes and in the frescos they are with europian features - red, brown curly hears or blond, normal eyes, ect. Also they had a script before syrillyc one, which was different from turkic runes. Reacently it is commfirmed by the genetics. Best wishes and keep up the good work! The origins of Bulgars according encyclopedia Britanica: Although many scholars, including linguists, had posited that the Bulgars were derived from a Turkic tribe of Central Asia (perhaps with Iranian elements), modern genetic research points to an affiliation with western Eurasian and European populations. Early Bulgars inhabited the European steppe west of the Volga River from about 370 CE. Retreating with the Huns, they resettled about 460 in an arc of country north and east of the Sea of Azov. Hired by the Byzantines in 480 to fight against the Ostrogoths, the Bulgars subsequently became attracted by the wealth of the Byzantine Empire. In the 6th century the Bulgars continually attacked the Danubian provinces of the Byzantine Empire until, in the 560s, they were themselves threatened by the Avars, who were then advancing from Asia into central Europe. The Avars destroyed one Bulgar tribe, but the rest saved themselves by submitting, for two decades, to another horde of Turkic newcomers, most of whom then retreated back into Asia.

She wasn't described as a Priestess in Greek Mythology Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 2. 46 (trans. Aldrich) (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.) : "It is affirmed by some that Medousa was beheaded because of Athena, for they say the Gorgon had been willing to be compared with Athena in beauty." Hesiod, Theogony 270 ff (trans. Evelyn-White) (Greek epic C8th or C7th B.C.) : "Poseidon, he of the dark hair, lay with one of these [Medousa (Medusa), one of the Gorgones], in a soft meadow and among spring flowers." You're using a ROMAN MYTH from the writer Ovid Ovid, Metamorphoses 4. 790 ff (trans. Melville) (Roman epic C1st B.C. to C1st A.D.) : "Her [Medousa's] beauty was far-famed, the jealous hope of many a suitor, and of all her charms her hair was loveliest; so I was told by one who claimed to have seen her. She, it's said, was violated in Minerva's [Athena's] shrine by the Lord of the Sea [Poseidon]. Jupiter's [Zeus'] daughter [Athena] turned away and covered with her shield her virgin's eyes. And then for fitting punishment transformed the Gorgo's lovely hair to loathsome snakes. Minerva [Athena] still, to strike her foes with dread, upon her breastplate wears the snakes she made."
Well, in the ancient times, many of the babies died before the age of 5. There were no antibiotics, so when people got sick they died. Many women died while giving birth. Most of the people were very poor. But then again, we are also in hard times. Every time you turn on the TV the news is horrible. Many wars going on. Guess depends on how you look at it.
Until you had the slightest medical issue, then you either survived, possibly much worse off or died. Even a minor infection could be life threatening.
@@stuc.6592 Believe that if you wish, but the truth is, they had far better health care than we today have, lived in better buildings, ate better food and drank better water, enjoyed better transportation, were far more technologically advanced than today's world. Do not believe the propaganda and lies told to you by Corporations and their Governments. Your schools and history are complete lies.

He was not born with leprosy... No one is. He developed it around age nine, it is believed either a playmate or servant unknowingly infected him. The disease takes years to manifest which is why infants and toddlers can't get it, but school aged children can. During the Middle Ages, without the current advancement of medicines, it took Baldwin 15 years to die, from when he likely was infected. The agony he endured is a testimony to his courage and character, to be a strong leader and good king, despite bearing such a terrible disease.
