John Manjiro is another amazing story you might look into. A Japanese fisherman who wound up shipwrecked, rescued and who went on to do several amazing things.

Queen Elizabeth: “I don’t think it’s his fate to leave England. Remember what Christopher said when I told him that his war was pointless?” William Cecil: “Unless I win.” Queen Elizabeth: “If you win, anything is possible.” William Cecil: “Even the ‘empress’? You are not so different from the rest of us. In your secret heart…please tell me your plan. I will take it to the grave.” Queen Elizabeth: “Why tell a dead man the future?”

Been playing lots of Age of Empires 3 lately and immediately recognized the music in the background. Thought I had forgotten to turn the game off for a second there.

Meanwhile, my boy Yamada Nagamasa went to Siam and got whacked because he flew too close to the sun. But without him, we wouldn’t have an unhinged dessert called “Khanom Tokyo” that neither came from Tokyo nor even a Japanese dessert.

It is truly bewildering how Christopher could have gone on to improve English navigation techniques, yet no one knew about him until Thomas Lockley came along to write a book about him. One would have thought that someone who made any significant contribution to British mastery of the seas (and therefore, subsequent colonization of the world) would have more historical records about him and his exact contributions.

Even the Samurai in the late 1800's were quite impressed by the swordsmanship of the French officers they got to know. As a rule they were very well trained, especially cavalry officers.

@@TheShogunate It can't be considered speculation now, most of the things that book says are fake, the author even edited wikipedia himself. After being discovered he deleted every single one of his media accounts.

@@TheShogunate このフィクションの一次資料は'Voyages and Discoveries'と'Hakluytus Posthumus or Parchas His Pilgrimes'です。資料の中ではChristopherとCostesは日本人と書かれたりインド人と書かれたりしています。日本人だと断言できないと私は思います。また、女王と合ったという話は資料の中には存在しません。Christopherに関する一次資料はこの2冊の中のわずかなページに書いてある文章だけです。 Thomas Lockleyは、弥助で彼が犯した歴史への冒涜と同様に、量が本当に少ない資料を妄想で膨らませて嘘を書いています。

あなたの動画のクオリティのために細かい指摘をしてごめんなさい。サムネイルの男性の着物の胸襟が逆です。着物の襟は男女どちらも右手側が下になります。画像のように左手側が下になる場合もありますが、それは亡くなった人に着物を着せる時だけです。 ACSは恐らくインターネットで見つけた中国の仏像の写真を気軽に左右反転しましたが、あれは例えると日本で寺を意味する記号の"卍"を左右反転させたのと同じレベルで意味が違ってしまい、仏教的に極めて無礼な加工になりました。

@jimross7648 4 месяца назад

I'm looking forward to another true (?) sort of story, about a person we know existed, and was involved in some pretty interesting events. However, as always there will speculation and conjecture to fill in the gaps between historical mentions of Christopher in contemporary historical sources. Even accurate historical documents are products of biased authors, who tell only parts of the story from a point of view that may not be completely factual. Thomas Lockley is a talented writer and am waiting for this book.

@shinobi9922 4 месяца назад

So this new book is 99.9% made up fairytale like the one he wrote about Yasuke. Hard pass.

@TheShogunate 4 месяца назад

He uses real historical documents to fill in the gaps. Saying it is 99% made up is just factually incorrect.

@shinobi9922 4 месяца назад

@TheShogunate lol, do you even understand what you just wrote? If he had historical documents that proved what he says, he wouldn't need to fill in the gaps. 😆 There are less than 10 sentences in all Japanese historical documents that mention Yasuke. I don't think there is even 10 sentences in European historical documents that mention Yasuke. Yet Lockley wrote a 500 page book on him full of fantastic amazing exploits of Yasuke that are not written anywhere in any language in the history of this planet. So explain to me once again how he uses historical documents to "fill in the gaps."
