How did ancient empires work? What were the logistics behind them? There have been many great conquerors in history, but what was needed to make sure an empire would last?

Really nice video, but I don´t think the Inca Empire is part of ancient history, do to the fact that it is considered to be officialy founded only in 1483 A.D, having Pachacuti as its fisrt emperor, just a comparison, people were studying in Oxford for almost 400 years before the Cusco kingdom had become an impire, but again, really nice video.

a question about a totally other road ... the silk road mainly it was between Rome & China through Persia ... I heard a rumor about an alternative route through sea that ends at Yemen then go north to Rome ... not to be mixed with the same route that carried African (Ethiopian) trade goods north
@hyperion3145
@hyperion3145 Год назад
It did exist and was one of the reasons Yemen at that point was particularly rich. Also would change hands between the Aksumites, Yemeni and Iran a few times.
@sasi5841
@sasi5841 Год назад
It did (though it also included significant portion of east Africa and much of south east asia). This was the naval equivalent of the silk road, and was actually much more expansive, wealthier and continuous
@Pantsinabucket
@Pantsinabucket Год назад
This was the Erythrean Sea (Red Sea/Indian Ocean) trade route, good bit different from the Silk Road as it was far more focused on India/East Africa with Yemen and Oman being the safe midpoints, although Silk Road goods definitely did get transported along it too.

It must have been easier with a contiguous empire with Rome at the centre. The Carthaginians must have had it tough having their empire so spread out in little bits!
@tultoi5651
@tultoi5651 Год назад
I would say it’s actually quite a bit easier. The carthaginians mainly conquered trading posts, ones that they would travel to and back by boat. They simply owned a city here and there on the coast while the Romans owned an entire landmass they needed messengers and local lords and such to administrate effectively.

The new world (Americas) had no animals they can ride nor any animals to help plow fields. That’s a major reason they never developed as much as the old world. In addition, the old world had so much many more people and inventions, ideas, animals, and foods were shared along the Eurasian continent
@genericwhitemale9566
@genericwhitemale9566 Год назад
Yeah. No animals to ride means you can't travel across the continent as fast which limits your communication with the rest of the tribes so they all remained isolated instead of forming any sort of union. No domesticated animals means food production is much MUCH lower. This led to farming never really catching on so they mostly remained as hunter gatherers. This means much smaller families which means no major population growth and no major development needed to keep up with the population.
@Homer-OJ-Simpson
@Homer-OJ-Simpson Год назад
@@genericwhitemale9566 "This led to farming never really catching on so they mostly remained as hunter gatherers.". Yes, this was a big part. Eventually farming did happen but no where near on the scale of what Euroasia did. In part the reason farming didn’t grow more regardless of not having animals to plow - they had little means to transport the food! So while Eurosia had lots of trade in food and metal, bulk item trade in the new world was too difficult. And there aren’t many good river systems in the new world. Mexico where the biggest population was has no good navigable rivers. South America has few good navigable rivers and the biggest river is Amazon which is in a terrible location since the Amazon isn’t good for farming or living. Incas were up in the mountain where rivers are small and not useful. The only good set of navigable rivers is in what is now the US. But they were mostly just hunter gather civilizations so bulk trade wasn’t important to them. If the Mexico and south american tribes had rivers like those in the US, they would have had far more use for it. I’m a little surprised that they didn’t use sea trade more often. > means no major population growth and no major development needed to keep up with the population Well, they did have a handful of major cities but the first to break 100k wasn’t until around 400AD while the old world may have broken 100k about 2,500 years earlier in 2100BC and certainly reached it by 1200BC (1600 years before new world). At the time the Spanish arrived, that area now known as Mexico city had 140k-200k people and believed to be one of the top 3 cities outside of China/India.

@rateeightx
@rateeightx Год назад
I think it's more "Who wouldn't join the KhAnubis discord server?", If you replace the 'v's in "QVIS" and "IVNGERE" with 'u's (How they'd be spelled in modern Latin) google gives you something similar to that, And if you swap it and ask it for "Who wouldn't join the KhAnubis Discord Server" or "Who doesn't join the KhAnubis Discord Server" in Latin it gives you something fairly similar. From personal experience Google Translate isn't too good for Latin, But I think this is accurate as "Quis" and "Iungere" are related to Italian words I know with similar meaning (And actually to the English words "Who" and "Join").

Am I missing something or does this video not really tell us anything about logistics? This all seems like general knowledge. All roads lead to Rome, the Nile is the lifeblood of Egypt, Rome used ships (Mare Nostrum). This doesn't seem to give any information more than a brief google search of, "how did people move around [insert empire]". I enjoy your videos generally, but this one seems redundant. Maybe I just underestimate the general level of knowledge of this things?

Okay but it's about time to revise that language you're using "when the Europeans discovered the Amazon." They weren't the first humans there. In fact it was extremely populated back then, as you must know. "When the Europeans arrived/invaded" would be more accurate and less irritating to indigenous peoples who are often erased as if Europeans were the first humans to find this continent.
