    Im algerian i love denzel but they did us wrong in this movie , they always try to show numidia in Hollywood movies as if desert populated by black people and that is just simply wrong , black algerian are south in the desert where the roman nerver reached, the north of modern day algeria was a roman Provence and its poplated by northern amazigh people and they are not black they Mediterranean light skin people ,i mean look at average algerian today and you will se what real numidian looks like

    #UnpopularFact The Average-Palestinian is Non-Arab. The Average-Palestinian is only Socio-Culturally Arab, because Muslim-Arabs conquered Bilād-ash-Shām/the Land-Of-Shem (the Levant). The Average-Palestinian is an Ethno-Genetic Descendant of the Philistine-Peoples. The Word/Term “Palestine”, itself, ironically is a Greco-Latin Word/Term directly derived from the Kemetic/Ancient-Egyptian Word/Term “Peleset/Pulasati”. garethbryant.wordpress.com/2022/11/17/antisemitismracket/

    His looks were definately for show because the portrayal of Emperor Caracalla was anything but him. He was a tough rugged Emperor not some femboy emperor like Elagabalus. I couldn't take this movie seriously. Then again I actually know about Roman history. So it was hard to watch. Hollywood does this on porpuse they know better, but they low-key push agendas.

    All North Africans are mixed race. In the 2nd century, the North Africans were predominantly Caucasian. There were several statues made of Macrinus during this period. He was clearly, a Caucasian man of some mixed ancestry. Basically, he was similar to many lighter skinned North Africans, that are about 80% Caucasian. This Movie Gladiator ll completely misrepresents the likeliness of Macrinus. He was a Caucasian man of some mixed ancestry.

    The Persians occupy Judea, not Palestine. Alexander the Great conquered Judea, not Palestinian, The Romans occupy Judea, not Palestinian. The Saleyucid Arabs occupy Judea, not Palestine, the Europeans create the Kingdom of Jerusalem, not Palestine. The Ottoman Turks create the Vilayate of Jerusalem, not Palestine. Palestine is the name of the British after the fall of the Ottoman Empire in 1918. There is no historical ancestry of any Palestinian people in Muslim Arabs called Palestinians by the British in 1918.

    Macedonia is a Paeonian land and has nothing to do with greece and the ancient extinct greeks that fact is written by all ancient historians not one of them ever claimed anything aganst: ''Liv. 40 3 Marcius had increased the senate’s apprehensions about Philip. He admitted that Philip had carried out the measures insisted upon by the senate, but in such a way that he would obviously continue to do so no longer than he was compelled. [2] There was little doubt that he would recommence war, and all his words and actions pointed in that direction. [3] He transferred almost the entire population from the maritime cities to the district now called Emathia, formerly known as Paeonia,''

    Really good and informative video. I watched yesterday and liked the video you did on Marcrinus too. So I may end up having to subscribe to your channel now or soon and look forward to more from you 👍🏼 I think what the first commenter said hit things right on the head too about not only Ridley Scott, but a lot of directors and/or writers in movies and even some shows based on real life events. Romanticizing and/or expanding on actual truths of said stories so not only more people will watch, but so they can then deep dive on what from the story is actually factual or fantasized and/or made up. They even do it in biopics too and why a lot of times it will have warnings of it being loosely based on real life events. It is with a lot of books and artists of music and other aspects of media as well. That is why a lot of time when I see something I like to research before and/or after I watch it. Btw I hope you do more on some of the other characters from Gladiator II as well which I really enjoyed and saw an early screening of last Tuesday with my Mom. That was somewhat emotional in certain parts cause it was a couple days after what would have been my Dad’s 62nd birthday (R.I.P. 🙏🏼) who unfortunately passed a little over 4 1/2 years ago.

    In the course of history all in movie making in Hollywood all these people back in the day the ten commandments the Roman empire and all that stuff and the Egyptians were played by white people number to DNA revealed it why do white people get their self all up in a bunch because of Denzel playing this role and even though it's probably true because black people for a long time the more s Europe got all their knowledge from Africa medicine even glasses by Eric Beckley or whatever time time system everything everything white people know now they got it from Africa in a lot of historians know but white children don't know because they won't let it be that's not allowed to be taught in school that's critical race today they don't want that because when the truth is told then people have to change their change their whole way of being it said with white shoes Arabs do meant to say Jews not shoes but that's all I will feed them c********** and some motherfuking shoes from worn out f***** up shoes with the Palestinians eat all that I don't have no food left to eat they might take to eating shoes but these motherfuking white people here in the US what's make most of the movies automotive racist bigoted people on Earth and they know the truth but they don't teach it and they won't preach it they want to keep their little charade going and the f****** Jews is the same goddamn way there ain't no motherfuking Jews that European these are white folks Jews and white folks

    The Roman empire had some of the most wicked and treacherous leaders of all time, even before Jesus Christ, came they were wicked and after they crucified Christ and he left this world, the wickedness of Rome continued, it's because of their wickedness why Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD and wipe out Pompeii and Herculaneum, if you check out the history of Rome is like Satan himself was running that empire.

    I saw this movie and it made me use my History diploma as a Kleenex. Visually rather beautiful, lots of good things... but the history was... wow was it bad. "Free Numidia"? It had been part of the empire for nearly 400 years. There's really no way to place the brothers at the time the film is set (like 150/200 years off). And Caracalla wasn't bright, but he was also not an effeminate weakling. The man was built like a linebacker & TOUGH. Think Mongo in Blazing Saddles. Sorry, sorry - I ADORED the first film (it was so awesome I was able to overlook the glaring errors)... but this one just didn't have that same oomph. THIS video, on the other hand... BRAVO! very, very good!

    most people do not realize Rome as portrayed in movies only lasted about 300 years but when the main capital was in Constantinople the reign of the Roman Empire was over a thousand years. that was after Christianity was recognized, so of course the rulers were not just from Italy.
