Good video to fall asleep to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Understanding our history gives you a better understanding of our present and a glimpse of our future probabilities.

Like history repeating itself in one way or another

Good job creating visual effects, also realistic scenes. I wish you had more guides about wars, culture during medieval ages such as english - french hundred years war (1337-1453) romanic., gothic art styles, feudalism.

¡Hola a todos! Gran historia, agradezco tu ayuda. Es una cualidad y un esfuerzo valiosos. Te apreciamos

Awesome job paul thanks

I really appreciate you translating right over the speaker , I almost heard what you were saying

The soundtrack is from several popular movies. I even picked up Last of the Mohicans in there at one point. Fun.

Thank gawd 👍✨😸 And thank you .

Very enjoyable and interesting.... nice personalities and loved the laughter

martin luther didnt want a reformation he only wanted reform. can you hear yourself ?!

What about the tuetonic crusades against the pagans of the Baltic states?. That was gnarly

I have been saying for many years “ religion kills “ , no doubt not original but just the same I FEEL I HAVE BEEN RIGHT ON THE BUTTON .

The crusades vs the jihad is truly one of many interesting wars mankind has ever instigated. Well done on this documentary.

We about to enter the middle ages again

Do you talk about the 780 wars during Islamic expansion

Thank you

Cool Thanks

Object Lesson: It's never about religion; It's always about power.

Sweetwater denotes fresh (non-brackish) water. Brack water was salt water and not good for setting up a village near. Has important context as well regarding malaria. After major tsunami floods one might assume that many streams with sweetwater could become tainted with a degree of brackish status. The Bernese and the Sino-Chinese peoples made great early notes on such. Neither say “L” quite like the English so I suspect many German and Italian lowland marshes deemed “black water” were due to being “brackwater” sources. Just a contextual thought to add to oh so many names occurring in our histories (post-orientalizia of Mediterranean/Mesopotamian/European/the isles etc..) My favorite is “Roman”. My rabbit hole lead me to “Óman” using the context through linguistic hunt. The pacific-Asian nations and Chinese use characters like the Egyptians used them. Words tell sequences over transliterated words. So you can copy paste a chinese/Japanese etc. word and note the meaning of each character and subtract and add back in such a way as to see the sequence of a race or a people group. I’ll leave it at that for y’all to play with but it has been a 100% accurate way thus far for me to understand better the bottleneck of our history. Worth playing with.

The purpose of the room it was in could help deepen one’s understanding

That religious war aint complete when its still going on every single day in one way or another.

thank you

Good video to fall asleep to 🇺🇸

From one hand to the other: Let it be known that in all individuals an evil spirit must truly be dead before peace can rule.

Just to correct you, Islam does not mean "peace", it means "submission" (to God). Check any encyclopedia published before 2001.

History class was never like this before! Thank you for the making of this excellent video bringing much clarity and knowledge to anyone willing to discover the truth behind our world and the present and now conflicts which plague us "geo-politically"! All of the present conflicts have their beginnings in the past, tis it not true! Jesus was a true man of peace in our world, this is the truth but, he did also preach the rapture, the day of his lord's coming into our worlds future! The bible proclaims that the Apocalypse( Greek word for the uncovering) must happen! So while it does so preach peace it's teachings do not stand behind them whole-heartedly! One cannot preach peace and then promote war as inevitable, it's hypocritical to do so! Is this not true! Namaste Peace Love Harmony

Definitely good video to fall asleep to

Anybody know the beat at the very beginning?

Do the follow-up saying how secular humanism started the bloodiest cultural movements in human history in China and the Soviet Union

"Martin Luther does not want a reformation, he only wishes to reform" 🤦

No mention at all about the Albigensian Crusade against the Cathars.

Need to edit the script so that it makes sense.

Love to see Father continuing his holy conquests.

the order of the Knights Templar, founded in the aftermath of the first crusade, was one of the most powerful organizations in history. the knights Templar were the true legends, so unfortunate they failed.

There is an error in the report. The owner of the Battle of Ain Jalut, who fought the Mongols, is Qutuz, not Salah al-Din, but Salah al-Din is the owner of the Battle of Hattin, who fought the Crusaders.

Look to all the problems and conflicts in the present and one will find their beginnings in the past! Namaste Peace Love Harmony

Like most documentaries, makes the Christians sound like the bullies and the world was the victims. What they don’t impress upon in the documentary is that the Muslim Turks were coming into Christian lands as the aggressors and wanted to wipe out the Christian faith altogether. And the Crusaders knew they could not just continue to play defense they had to press forward and go on the offense Or risk losing Christianity for all future. But I still very much enjoyed this video very informative learned a lot of things I did not know before

Can you do a documentary about the counter reformation and the influence the Jesuits had on it?

Some real bright people in the comment section here

Holy moses 🌊

Prof. Dr. Helmut

Kind of makes me want to listen to Megadeth

Born to late to fight a Holy War- bummer…

1:06:53 “The Last of the Mohicans”??

Kantorus rule of laws are in amupas but if those same laws imprison belmarshians like assange, what's the point then?

We’ve been kicking the shit out of each other since the Stone Age right up to now 😂😂wtf is up with that 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

Prague knows how to defenestrate, that's certain.

Once Luther was able to read the Scriptures in his language he knew the pope was lying to him. God intended for evey person to read the Scriptures for themselves. Free will and free to choose for ourselves. Not forced religion

the mighty state huh?

They love using the word orgy in this documentary.

Dying for myths. Good doc though.

The pencil in the beginning sounds like crying and a sniffle at the end to me. Am I insane?

I'll never understand why the West simps for Islam now.

Does it exist in english historiography or theology somthing like "just war" or "fair war"? Holy war is in islam, therefor I ask. Maybe in England all wars were Holy...

Okay, I learned that it was probable that Martin Luther did nail his 95 theses to the church door because church doors were like corkboard for the communities, and it's where everyone posted things, so the twist is that it was nothing special that he did that. This was on a PBS documentary....

Turks indeed had a decisive role in triggering historical major events like the Migration Period, Crusades, Age of Discovery as well as ending the Middle Ages with the conquest of Constantinople, fall of the Roman Empire.

If you follow the life of Jesus Christ in the Gospels you will easily see that He preached non violence and thats the way He lived. Love God, love your neighbors and love your enemies. Anyone that doesn't live in the image of Jesus Christ and follows His teaching is no Christian

The children of the pope is a phrase I didn't expect to hear. Wth?

Advertisement after advertisement after advertisement .

This is NOT the complete history lol It's surprising how biased this was btw...

It doesn't sound like religion started these wars at all. Religion was used as a banner by the respective parties, but that's about it. If anything, religion offered a respite from war and provided hope for common understanding and peace.

So...is it The Truth about our History this time????

King jesus! Talk about,. Luke 22: 36! 😊

Elect a king? I didn't vote for him .

Very hard to understand two people talking at the same time.

BROTHER WILL KILL BROTHER SPILLING BLOOD CROSS THE LAND KILLING FOR RELIGION SOMETHING I DONT UNDERSTAND

Islam being peaceful, chivalrous, and tolerant is perhaps the most ridiculous thing I've ever had the displeasure of hearing

Deus vult!

This has a lot of inaccuracy’s….the “Arab” ships and sails came from the eastern Roman Empire, as did most of what was mention early on which the Arabs later built on. Mediterranean/ western culture is considered by many scholars to be one civilization as the scholars ideas and power centers would hop around when powers rose/fell Also the idea race and clan was not and issue was an easily debunked idea…there are quotes of many leaders on how they viewed sub Saharan…they had the largest slave trade in history and castrated many of the African men do they couldn’t breed

decentralized human substantive choices for God's free will sovereign central authority

Didn’t say that. “they bring no superior culture with them” in reference to Islam. Which is definitely ethnocentric but not incorrect. The Mongols were not farmers, what they acquire they acquire through conquest. In this respect the statement is true.

Constantininopoli fino la Siria Mesopotamia 👍🌍

"Magellan didn’t prove the earth was round. It had been known by all educated people in Europe that the Earth was approximately spherical for about 1,500 to 2,000 years before Magellan was born. Magellan no more proved the Earth was round than Richard the Lionheart proved that 1 + 1 = 2. It was a known and accepted fact from long before his birth."

What has always captured my imagination is the ebb and flow of cultural influence and religious coexistence between the hegemonic religion and the others. For example, when the almogorabids (I'm probably mispeling their name) berbers from north Africa wiped out the previous Muslim rulers in Spain, things were not very nice for all people. Or when Christianity spread through the Roman empire in late antiquity, all the violence against jews, pagans and other Christian sects.

way way too many and way way way way too long of adds!!!! 30 freaking minute add come on.....

A reformation would mean to reform. Perhaps you mean Luther didn't mean to spark a world war and massive series of atrocities

Luther was the fulfillment of Jon Hus' prophecy, that in 100 years a swan shall arise that cannot be silenced. The Catholic Church burned Hus at the stake for preaching the Gospel.

Geez... it's such a brutal war, they kill that same guy and throw him in that same trench like 5 times....

Jesus loves you all, forgivness and salvation can be found through faith, good works dont save bt we still should do good because thats what Jesus commands us to do. have a blessed day

Is it about a romantization of islam and bashing christianity,any way islam does not mean peace but submission or surrenderness to allah in contrary the word peace in the arabic is SALAM. For instance the founder of islam,said his livelihood is under the shade of his swor anyone who desobeys it would be humiliated by paying the jiziah. Therefore a religion borned in violent culture and whom the founder was a violent man and teaching violence cant be a religion of peace...as matter of fact,theconquered iberian peninsula ,south italy, levant , anatholia,northern africa,persia,indian subcontinent and the way to central asia and part of china...and collected all those cultures diffrence places and made them theirs...

I find quite a few critical issues with this presentation, not least of which is a covert defense of islam (I didn't misspell, but simply refuse to captalize?). On at least two occasions, the statement is made that "islam" means "peace", which it does not. islam means "submission", which is certainly not applicable as "peace"? The commentators also repeat the falsehood that the Ark Of The Covenant makes an army invincible, something which a cursory reading of 1 Samuel 4:3-11 will totally disprove.

Should be "the Stoopid Wars"

Religion is the worst thing to happen to man.

The narrator states that Islam means Peace yet in reality it means Submission to the Will of an Imaginary Lunar Deity.

The Mongols had no culture? What an absolutely stupid thing to say. Every people have a culture, that is part of what it means to be a people. As well Ghenghis Khan actually administered a huge empire and instituted the first "pony express".

It all mostly serves the human ego, God. Worship God, argue about God, so we can feel good about it. For power and control, essentially.

Maybe the people who already knew the earth was round could read it?

LOL THE GOD SQUAD!!!

Hi there ,great documentary accept for the German speakers. A very harsh language I feel. WWI and WWII were a disaster for the ego of one man😢 Sancta Maria ora pro nobis. 😊

Correction: please note that the word “Islam” means SUBMISSION (to the will of Allah, blessed be his name); it does NOT mean PEACE, as stated in the introduction to this program

why do peopel hype up the crusades like it was even anything compared to other wars. like in the whole of it, it killed less people than the vietnam war

Obviously you have never heard of WWI or II

Whoever researched this video *failed to look at scriptural rationale* behind some of the wars. The writer failed to consider the _heavy criticism of Christians and Jews- a refrain throughout the Q. It resembles the tone of biblical passages which condemn Canaanites for any number of sins, thus giving Jews a rationale for not only settling the land, but clearing it (an attempt at genocide, which thankfully failed b/c it was half-hearted - well, according to the only account of it - which is found the bible). Reading the Q thoroughly reveals that after having read it wholly, a faithful reader would feel compelled to eliminate all of those who do no _submit_ to Islam, including doubters, which rank high as something akin to evildoers, rather than mere skeptics exercising caution.

Magellan did not prove the world is round.

Another important reason for the success of the Turks was their superior military technology and art of war . These nomads from the Steppes could be credited with introducing ' the age of the horse .

at about 29:00 the movie is going on about how the religious wars civilized Europe / Germany, that major conflict was over and Germany had became a model of restraint and civilization. What a pile of bollocks when you look at what Germany did in the 20th century.

Not nearly as honest about the evils of Islam as you should have been. Very sad to see the makers are either afraid or ignorant. So many unsightly details left out. A shame to hide from the truth.

World War 1&2 were not started by religion, Vietnam not, Korean War not, Iraq War not, Russia and Afghanistan and the United States and Afghanistan not, Russia and Ukraine not I mean the bloodiest wars were not religiously motivated but I can do this list even further local confrontation, tribal confrontations and on and on.
