@TheGeneral1292 4 года назад

I don't know why, but I just find it fascinating to know where these people are buried. Their names are forever recorded in the history books, their deeds are still remembered hundreds, even thousands of years after their demise. Their stories have impressed, their achievements have inspired and their crimes have horrified many generations past and will continue to do so for many people in the future. They left their mark in life more than anyone else, and some of them have changed the world in such a profound way that they could almost be considered mythical beings, yet they were very much real and alive at one point...men and women, each with their own flaws. And every single one of them: generals, philosophers, kings, emperors, conquerors were just as human as any of us, just as mortal. To me, their resting places are the ultimate symbol and proof of all that: a representation of not just their mortality, but also their humanity and their very existence.

@plushdogg124 3 года назад

@@wholeNwon Yes. Though those examples are more infamous than famous so far as icons are concerned. Julius Caesar enslaving conquered foes was common practice for Roman commanders, and his genocide of the Gauls was more of a military strategy than cold-blooded murder (based on racism) as it was with, say, Hitler. Does that justify what he did? No. I think slavery and genocide are evil as much as the next person. I'm just an avid fan of Roman history, and when you compare Julius Caesar to the vast majority of Roman historical figures... especially emperors ... you find that he's one of the better ones (which is saying something).

@wholeNwon 3 года назад

@@plushdogg124 Perhaps some distinctions without differences. Hitler and Stalin destroyed whole cities without reference to race. Britain and the US incinerated cities occupied by scores of thousands of women and children without reference to their race. Bomber Harris described himself as a war criminal. He was right. Even some of Alexander's generals were horrified at his brutality against the innocent. A homicidal mass killer if ever there was one, yet history calls him "great". Perhaps Brutus and his family were more noble than Gaius Julius Caesar. Didn't they depose one of the Tarquins and found the Republic. As to other Roman Emperors, well, I haven't thought about them in a very long time. I have a copy of Momsen and "The Meditations" around here somewhere. But some were hard-working and benign. Others started out well but became tyrants (lead or other heavy metal poisoning?). "Bootsie" comes to mind. Pet rocks? Burnt temples but completed Flavian Arena? Single years with 5-6 emperors? Many emperors who never even saw Rome or worse, poor Valerian comes to mind. In fact the list of Roman Emperors who, with certainty, had natural deaths seems relatively short. Then there was the Christian conversion by Constantine the Great. Didn't he murder his co-emperor and his son and maybe his wife? I don't quite remember. The pagan gods couldn't forgive him but the Christian god would. Oh, well, that was a long time ago. Maybe we'll do better in the future. Stay well.

The potatoes on the grave of Frederick the Great is an awesome story. To help feed his people, he decided to use potatoes, which were unknown to his people at the time. But looking so bad, and not being in the Bible, the people refused to plant or use them. So Fred used a little reverse psychology, declared the potato a "royal vegetable", and had his own potato fields guarded. But he instructed the guards to "look the other way" if peasants tried to steal them. The peasants figured the potatoes must be a great food source if they had to be guarded, stole a number of plants, planted them in their own fields, and the rest is history! to honor Frederick's Solomon like wits , it's now traditional to leave potatoes on his grave.

Many Roman tombs were destroyed. The Church of the Holy Apostle houses many Byzantine/Roman Emperors. By the time the Turks took Constanople, the city was desolate and a ruin. The Church was a crumbling bit of rubble. They tried to preserve the place but elected to demolish it after realizing the building couldn’t be saved.

@marvelfannumber1 4 года назад

@@danielchequer5842 Nicetas Choniates specifically tells us in his chronicle what happened to Justinian's body. When the Crusaders sacked Constantinople they entered the Church of the Holy Apostles and started indiscriminately looting anything they could get their hands on. One Crusader, according to Choniates found Justinian's sarcophagus and smashed it open. Inside he found Justinian's body, suprisingly intact, he still retained his hair, skin and crown. The Crusader tried to rip the crown off of Justinian's head, but his skeleton showed resistance, the Crusader eventually managed to pull the crown off along with much of Justinian's hair. What happened after that is unknown, but it is pretty fair to assume it was further ransacked, by the time the Ottomans took the city, Justinian's body had likely been destroyed to the point it couldn't be identified.
