DUNE Lore - Bene Gesserit, Ancient History 

A. They went all out with the world building in this series.

"The Bene Gesserit Witch must leave..."

Yes, more lore. thank you also for making this.

The one cardinal rule of ancient Rome. Do Not Fuck With Octavian.

Have you ever thought about doing one on male’s trained in the Bene Gesserit ways? Paul, Leto ll, Miles Teg, Count Fenring, etc etc

Eleanor is clearly Eleanor of Aquitaine, the Roman male abomination was probably Caligula.

Concerning Voice Claudia. Livia's family or gens name, was Claudia or Claudii. Her first husband was also a Claudian. So, Voice Claudia might well be Livia. Though her son Tiberius, Livia was the great grandmother of the emperor Caligula. The Dune Encyclopedia's article on Bene Gesserit history says he was the Abomination.

Around minute 15 you mention an Eleanor, she is Eleanor of Aquitaine. Her sons King John and Richard the Lion Hearted are more famous than her. However when she was a teen thanks too French inheritance laws who ever married her would own most of France. The king of France asked her to marry him. They were great patrons of the arts to the point they influenced how you and I listen to music. She went with her husband on Crusade but did not enjoy her self. The second time they went on Crusade she brought 400 women who had been trained and equipped like knights that she controlled. She enjoyed her second and third Crusade much better. She got bored with her husband so got an annulment from the Pope. (You know the thing a certain king of England could not get so he invented the Church of England?) an married the king of England. She got tired of that marriage an got another annulment from the Pope an moved back to France. An personally paid for the war so her sons could over throw there father so that Richard would become king.

Keep going with the Benegezerite it is too hard to keep straight if we have a few weeks in between.

"The Bene Gesserit looks for a male savior" Nobody tell Tumblr!

Seriously I think this is the best video of the series ( second time watching) .

If you believe in new age things other memory could be the akashic records. Only difference is both sexes is supposed to be able to access it. Herbert based some of his things on real things so he may be talking about a different version of the records. Even his mentats could be real. You can develop your memory to computer like an through certain meditations you can develop your senses to truth sayer like abilities. You can use certain breathing techniques to gain instant control over your emotions and senses so its like a real version of prana bindu. Sorry for long message Dune is some of my favorite books

I like complete lore chunks rather than them being spread out.

Its odd that the sister said they could only access their female memories but Alia Atreides got the Baron memories and got possessed by his personality. Both Ghanima and Leto II Atreides got their fathers memories which should not be possible because females aren't supposed to have access to the male line of memories so somebody messed up did very research or something lol

Hello Grim. A more in-depth look into one of the 'key players' of the Dune Novel, and one that I would like to see more of. But, if the origins of other such 'players' in the Novel are done in such a manner, then perhaps it would be best to start a Round-Robin ( a series of series of a sub group, or subject ), with such 'players' as the various Houses, Governments, Overall History of the Expansion, Rise and Fall of Technologies, etc. One thing for sure. Frank Herbert put a LOT of thought into his novel, along with a LOT of History as well. Leading to a very 'in depth' book that merely scratches what could have occurred within any particular, short term, time period's historical setting. Since the 'current' time period for Dune is sometime in the 10,000 era... things could have been radically different even a couple of millennia before. Example: The House Feud between Harkonnon and Atreides was an on-going affair for at least a few centuries, but before then? The Houses may have been allies. Nobel Houses of the Landstraad (Landed Knights?) would have interbred, with marriages co-mingled alliances for one reason or another. Such alliances and marriages would have been used to turn individually 'weak' Houses into syndicates that would have been much harder to deal with. I could go on and on, but I think you get the idea. I would like to see a wider range of the 'players' in the novel, than to go 'in depth' into only one at a time. speaking Frank-ly

My fav subject

yes.

wow, what a video. thank you

Which produces MEANER NUNS? Bene Gesserits or Adepta Sororitas?

As a deeply woven tapestry of players... I'd suggest A. I learned things from this episode and appreciate that...keep going

Sir you sound a lot like Borat but I love it

Would love a whole Bene G series

So you use none of Brian Herbert’s writings ?

Cool!

Algorithm chow

Well done and option B!

Thoisoi2

Very interesting to me, I vote A.

If the dirty witches get multiple videos, then the chosen, the Bene Tleilax will be expecting our share. And perhaps a few cell samples for our Axlotl tanks, yes? P.S. IDK if you should make a video about Axlotl tanks

B. please
