Lol Simon. Banks don't just magically have your mother's maiden name. You need to have set that up as your security word. Just use something else. I work for a bank, and we actually don't even use that anymore, because it is too easy to figure out. If we catch someone with their mothers maiden name as the security word, we recommend they change it. One of our security question options is favorite pet's name. I usually recommend doing that, but using the name of a childhood pet instead, or one that died more than 10 years ago. That may the hint still works, but no one would ever guess it or find it on social media.
Hmm Wilhelm, why does that sound familiar? 🤔 Simon's ancestor was the Kaiser and now he is the Kaiser of RUclips. 🤭
@@HorusDeathtouch Or just make up a fake person and use their info for everything. Err, umm I mean, my name is John Smith. How do you do?
What's your favorite restaurant?
@@slcpunk2740 I feel like every person does have a preferred fake name when they need to use one lol. Mine is Craig Sanders.
A bit off subject... but back in the day while in college, I took Ancient Art of the Middle East as an elective course, the instructor made the comment that even though the Greeks had so many gods in their mythology, they were afraid that they might have missed one. To prevent this, they created a temple to the "unknown" god in order to prevent that god being angry with and punishing them. Supposedly, later when Christianity came along, the reason the Greek world adapted it so rapidly was that they associated Christianity with this unknown god already in their pantheon of gods.
@@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648 Then Thor resurrected the goat he ate the previous night, because he remembered not to crack open the bones, and they flew away pulling his flying chariot.
Thank you for pointing that out
St. Paul used this as an intellectual rationale, but it is very safe to rest assured it was the supernatural power of Christ, unlocked by sincere devotion and belief, that carried that day. "Christ belief" now is rarely like Christ belief then.
To die on a cross like a mensch, and even to spring miraculously back to life, would mean zero to anyone if Christ had no spiritual coattails, as it were. I am sad to say it but I must confess the truth -- the spiritual coattails ridden by a whole lot of church followings today are more worldly -- even political -- than godly, which brings us back around to spiritual square one as it were: this is the kind of thing that sprang up among Jews who should have known better under ruthless Roman rule which promised ruling sinecures as long as Rome was placated. (Now we have either charismatic politicians or a loose handful of philosophical rights causes ardently defended in a vacuum.) Jesus be like: how on earth, let alone off earth, are you going to keep from going to hell, with or without handbasket, that way? The flames and worms are, as it were, burning and wriggling right now in such things.
I agree with Him: it isn't possible that way. The special salvation He brings is a must and it will change attitudes and behavior. Anyhow, both Jesus (bearing the capacities of the Son of God) and St. Paul were adept at reaching across what many modern Christians without the broadness of His holy mind might deem impossible: religious boundaries, in order to relate the news they brought to principles that their audience already grasped. So if a Roman god looked in some wise like Jesus, Jesus be like: are you surprised?
@@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648 Christianity as currently practiced and most alleged christians are starkly different from the teachings of the new testament. In fact the Jesus depicted in different new testament books has a different personality from book to book. In short it's a clear scam, a religion to pacify rebellious people and no he didn't meet the criteria for being the prophecy of the Messiah.
@@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648 Oh boy, those are some fun assertions in favor of Evangelical Christianity.......
I'm an agnostic- atheist, but cheers to your belief mate! I'm sure that the
Jehova 's Witnesses, Church of Latter Day Saints,the Menonites and even Muslims are about as correct as yourself.
Blaze on and let's all accept the real god, you know the Wow man!!!
There's a funny fact I learned from The Greek Myths by Robert Graves.
There was a practice called "enticing" foreign gods to Rome, which was actually a euphemism for stealing their statues from their countries and keeping them in Rome.
AD ENDS AT 1:38
When comparing the Hellenistic and Roman Gods, I use a shorthand -- if referring to the gods, use the Greek name. If referring to the Planets, the Roman names, unless there are a great deal of changes between the Greek and Roman. For example Mars. Ares was pretty much thought of as just a brutish war god, but Mars also had agricultural ties, and looked after soldiers. I like to think of Mars as Ares who grew up, and went through some character development.
Would definitely love to watch more on mythology rather it be Greek or Indian all sorts of mythologies would be awesome content for days
I agree, I’d love to learn more about native American spirituality. From what I do know of a few belief systems it’s very interesting.
@@VitoDRF ohhhh the Wendigo. I was thinking of like actual Indian mythology but yeah native American would be awesome sauce too.
Yes, would love to see a series done in this format.
I know you mean well but I advise you to change your comment. A mythology is a dead religion. So...
Beyond "It worked!" Robert Oppenheimer, on the Trinity test in New Mexico (Manhattan Project):
"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita: en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another."
Loved this! I'd love to see you do more like this. History of gods, myths, etc., since all things are based on facts, Fact Boy, & then added to.
“Romans spoke Latin and Greeks spoke Greek.” Except in the eastern Roman Empire where the Romans spoke Greek too.
Greek and Roman pantheons are Earth 1 and Earth 2. Jay Garrick was Hermes. Barry Allen was Mercury. Kinda.
Sir, first and foremost I am a fan of your various channels. Keep up the good work. Today watching this video I noticed the script seems to repeat a statement twice in a row from 9:08 to around 9:25. I love your content have a fantastic day sir.
Yeah I noticed that to my brain thought I had a stroke for a second
I have the strangest feeling of Deja Vu…
I have to re-watch this video, probably several times, so I can take notes to better understand the interplay of the deities.

Bigger question is, when will Simon's beard achieve godhood?
I thought it already had.
All hail the beard. May it forever blaze.
Ahhh , incels each and every one of ye !
Beardus Invictus!!!!
Yes
You don't have to use your mother's real maiden name for those security questions, especially since that info is so easy to find online. Just pick a random noun and use that, like Alfalfa or Quadrangle.
My mom was a Quadrangle too.

And this is why God looks many times like Zeus/Jupiter…
Oh wow, a British RUclipsr who knows how to pronounce Nike! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yet he managed to mis-pronounce Sol Invictus.
This title made me read it in Jerry Seinfeld's voice, "What's the deal with Roman Gods? Did they taste good or were the titans just binge eating? Did they eat them with salsa?"
Zeus was said to have eaten his own wife Metis, which was pregnant with his own daughter Athena, does this count? Oops sorry wrong Mythology
They might have because once you love saying salsa you have to try it with everything.
Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
It’s best to compare roman beliefs with hindu and taoism. While others would call them religions, it’s more of a belief system. They’re similar in how people can choose to worship their own gods, how other beliefs are integrated and even create new ones (eg. people/places/personification deified), yet still have a central/creator god and lore
Daven has been slipping with his editing lately. A lot of the videos have 2 different takes of Simon reading the same line back to back.
Right? I thought I was stroking out at first lol
Myheritage is interesting because it has more of a focus on European records. On other tests I'm mostly British with some Scandinavian. On the Myheritage results I am just over half Scandinavian with the rest being British. This is because there are way more Scandinavian samples to compare it with.
@Yummy Spaghetti Noodles it's all about sample size. In the early days these companies were probably inaccurate, but through the years the technology and sample sizes have gotten better.
I really feel quite suspicious about being able to tell from your DNA specific countries. Of course I believe you can tell if there's some northern European in it, or some of any continent. But I believe this has its limits. Simon said, they found something German in his dna. I am German and my country is simply too small for someone to find it in your dna. Also, what's with the borders? I really don't think a French guy right beyond the border has different dna than a German living 10 miles away. I really don't know. It all seems like a big marketing scam. They lure you with their promises of telling you of which country your ancestors are coming from. Always be careful about that, if they demand money
If I recall correctly, the Romans had a good for borders/frontiers, pretty sure he was called "Terminus"
If by "quite some time" you mean less than 10 years, sure. Christians didn't lose their legal standing in Rome until Diocletian's edicts in 303CE. That was mostly countered by Galerius' Edict of Serdica in 311CE, but even before that the enforcement of those edicts was spotty at best.
Lol 😂 preach brother
Persecution came in waves, the first lot under Emperor Nero after the great fire of 64ad. It is widely documented that some emperors were lenient to Christians, though many like Domitian were brutal.
@@mujutrekie No, it's widely documented that Nero used Christians as scapegoats. It had nothing to do with their beliefs. He also went after other minority groups. As for Domitian, there is really only the First Epistle of Clement which mentions "repeated misfortunes", and I'd hardly consider that proof of anything except bad luck. Considering there is several contemporary accounts of his tolerance of foreign religions, I'm skeptical that that Epistle was talking about severe persecutions.
Christianity was no more consistently persecuted in the Empire than any other minor religion. And even that varied widely.
@@Uldihaa I would agree that Nero was just using Christians as scapegoats, but that is still persecution, regardless of the reason why.
Regardless, I would disagree with your second point. Persecutions at other times are widely documented for example Justin Martyr writes to Emperor Antoninus Pius trying to convince him to stop his persecutions in 155 AD. He specifically points out that other small religious groups weren't being persecuted to nearly the same extent. Ignatius, Bishop of Antioch wrote letters some time between 100 and 140 AD to christian churches while on his way to be executed. Domitian's persecutions were also recorded by Eusebius and Lactantius, along with Melito, Tertullian and Bruttius. I could name more evidence but I don't have a lot of free time at the moment.
@@mujutrekie I never said that there wasn't persecution, it just wasn't as bad as Christians like to claim.
Eusebius and Lactantius were a century after the events and most of whose original sources are lost.
Melito's issues where more taxation and property because Christians wouldn't sacrifice to the Roman Emperor and were thus seen with suspicion since the sacrificing was to show loyalty to the Empire.
I also don't have time to keep going on this, but I think my point still stands: Christianity has a persecution complex and has had one for a very long time.
Simons voice makes my brain listen
Wasn't this video supposed be about Force Z and the death of battleships. I'm disappointed with the clarity and lack of misdirection.
I was thinking that. :)
Fact Boi got his videos titled right this time around lol
@@jshreyer Hopefully the basement dwellers who shall not be named have been punished for their blunder.
Did it have a different title when it was first posted?
Didn't that video come out yesterday?
So THIS is what happened to the last Battleship... lol
Religion and ritual are both ancient concepts.. you follow the trails back far enough in Celtic or Scandinavian or Roman or Greek or Egyptian ect.. you can see the similarities and you can follow the evolution of gods or goddesses
Reminds me of a quote from Babylon 5. The Centauri were modeled after the Romans. "Gods by the bushel! Gods by the pound! Gods for all occasions!!" Londo Mollari, ambassador from the Centauri.
Read this video's title in Jerry Seinfeld's voice lol.
Good to know people like you still exist my friend
When Christianity was invented in 325 AD, Rome added many of these cult symbols, especially from Paganism....
What?…
“When nazism was invented in 1940 AD Berlin added many of these broken cross symbols, especially from eastern religions.”
- That’s basically an equivalent of what you said.
I’m not sure what you were trying to get at, or why, but what you said scarcely rises to the level of nonsense.
@@rev.andyh.1082 what? I didn't mention anything about Nazi Germany, 1940 or WW11
Sure. Brainwashing worked good in this one.
It's interesting to hear Christianity denoted as a Roman religion while it is also a major Eastern religion.
True. But it was Romanized, and that resulted in it spreading throughout Europe.
Simon, all of the letter 'C' you are using, Cybele, etc., are 'K' sounds, not 'S'. Cybele isn't "Sy-'beal." It's "khai-BEH-leh." Also, they didn't have a hard, voiced 'DZH' which English uses letter 'J' They had the letter 'I', hence Jupiter should be spelt and pronounced roughly "EEOO-pater." (Side note: citizens of Troy are Troyans, not "Troh'-dzhans.") Please and thank you.
So Cesar was Kaysar?
@@Amanda-kw1vi Yes. That's where the Russian pronunciation came from. Kaizar.
@@injunsun Kaiser is German, not Russian... The russian word Tsar is closer to an "S" pronunciation of Caesar. But also Russian is not a language to use as a referance for Roman pronunciation.
@@BenTajer89 I know all that. My point is, all of those words come directly from Latin, where the C always has a K sound. Only in English did it flip to having a sometimes S sound, or in combo with an H, a TSH sound, compared to all other European languages. The words 'circle,' and, 'church' are good examples.
What's worse than a Grammar nazi? A pronunciation tzar...
I think Simon is trolling us 😂
With that double sentence? Yes, that confused the heck out of me. I had to listen to that part three times...
Troll-la-la...
🤷 : *POSSIBLY* ⁉️ Still something to think about though . 🤔 📖📿 ♑️✍️🇦🇺🇸🇯
1) Egyptian god, Thoth, circa 2868 BC
2) Greek god, Hermes, circa 700 BC
- Greek philosophical hierarchy travel to Egypt circa 4th Century BC to get education in Cairo, they learn Egyptian culture and about Thoth
- Greece falls to Rome circa 31 BC
3) Greco-Romans, from 31 BC onwards, fall in love with Thoth and believe he must also encompass the Greek god, Hermes, thus the Greco-Romans come up with Hermes Trismegistus (Thrice-Greatest Hermes)
The Romans were fascinated by the idea that the Egyptians provided the Greeks with a primordial knowledge. The Romans were determined to get their hands on this primordial knowledge too, believing the Hellenic to be Egyptian thus akin to the origin of religion. Thoth was one of Egypt's oldest gods first documented circa 2686 BC and possibly before. In some ways the Romans made the ancient Egyptian gods the default and aspirational figures even beyond their own Pantheon, which of course was encompassed by these new ancient Egyptians and not replaced by them as they were one and the same, to the Romans anyway
Hmm, I think I've got Déjà vu.
Indo-European gods were pretty much the same regarding most deities. When the Romans met other cultures, they figured their gods were the same ones.
Almost all gods are the same. They’re just subdivided by whatever people of the time fear. It’s when Man decides to use gods to further their own interests that everything goes to Xibalba/Hades/Kur/Yomi/Lua-o-Milu/Hell.
@@StoneInMySandal I think he or she means that when the Romans went among foreign cultures and someone mentioned the God Of Shoes, they assumed it was the same God of Shoes that they worshiped just with a different name in that language, as opposed to being a completely different religion. I mean we always hear about all the popular gods from the written stories but the Greeks and Romans had gods for every little thing that could possibly go rights or wrong. and honestly that's why most of those stories are still around that's what kept them interesting. it was just so open to creativity. the story of Newton's Apple would have gone a completely different direction in that time period.
This is one of the things that really interests me about religion; from the super small and archaic, to the multinational and modern. Too bad a religious studies degree would likely be useless, cause I could probably enjoy working with archaic belief systems.
Hey man - go for it. My brother went for a history degree and is working right now as a history lecturer as he works towards his PHD. And he's loving it. Even if all it's good for is teaching and research, that's enough. That's a valid career - and what matters is that it makes your happy and you love the work. That matters more than any amount of money ever could or will.

People treat the Gods as their personal lucky charms. That’s really the root of it.
If a lucky charm seems to stop working maybe this other “exotic” lucky charm is more powerful, and likely to bring me fortune.
Pray usually comes with an ask, as if it were a wishing well.
Blessed. 🙏
@@DanyCervantes ...then ends the post with "Blessed." and praying hands.
So, beliefs must change to be true?
So it is Nike-ee and not Nike. That's my take from this video
Educated Romans, and even uneducated ones depending on where in the empire, also read/spoke Greek.
You left the sources out of the description (as of the time I wrote this).
As greek and roman shared language family and some mythical sources, even with north indian cultures of the time, I wonder if Deus Pater (Zeus, Jupiter) developed one from the other or branched off an older common source.
I’m super late to this, but yes! They do all three stem from the same proto-indo-European sky god, whose name (as far as we can reconstruct) was Dyeus Phter.
Conspicuously absent from your narrative is discussion of the Flavian dynasty and its portrayal of both Vespasian and Titus as the Jewish Messiah, as well as the common symbiology used in Roman coinage that mirrors early Christian symbols. It has been conjectured that the Catholic Pope Clement I was a member of the House of Flavius, and was the 2nd, rather than 4th Pope, and that Titus was portrayed as the fulfillment of the prophesy that Jesus would return before the generation of his ministry had passed away, equating Titus as the returning Jesus. These portrayals seem to have been immediately discontinued after Titus death and his brother, Domitan's ascension to Emperor. See "Creating Christ" by James S, Valliant, et. al. It's a fascinating theory about the origins of Christianity.
SPQR! All hail Jupiter!
This was all fine and good, but it seems a bit light on the elements that battleships played.
I think they have made changes to the Matrix.
Check out Capodoccia (sp?) in Turkey, by far the oldest and most elaborate. I don't think it's (officially) in current use.
Worship of mithra was not very widespread until much later than Christianity so its more likely that it was influenced by Christianity and not the other way around
Makes you wonder why they clamped down on the Druids so hard...
Humans have been very creative in conjuring up god/gods to fit with their times and culture. I really enjoyed the History of Christianity class I had in college. It was fascinating to see how it evolved out of various other religions while claiming to be special.
Was this the same college that says we can't have a definition for woman?
No. The claims that Mithraism influenced Christianity has been more or less completely refuted.
@9:15: Glitch in the Matrix? Or intervention of the Emperor God known as Simonus Bearditcuc?
10:25 The HBOMax Show "Raised by Wolves" takes A LOT from the Mithraic religion and expounds on it. The religion is fascinating precursor/offshoot of Christianity.
I’m watching it right now after hearing a piece about it on NPR. It seems a bit crazy on the surface, but it’s so fascinating, deep, and thought provoking on so many levels.
Thank you
Fun note:
Jesus is an anglicization of his Roman name, Iesus, which was a transliteration of the Olympian Zeus.
Jesus literally means Zeus.
His original, Hebrew name, for those curious and don't already know, was Yeshua Hamashiach, which essentially translates to Joshua The Messiah.
To simplify the Romans copied and pasted a while pantheon and added a dash of military mind set
Not quite. There’s a reason it was called the Greco-Roman world, as the two cultures merged and became an amalgamation.
And let us not forget that even though the West fell, the East lived on, and though technically around the old Hellenic lands, the people called themselves Romans for another 1000 years (and some still do).
Brilliant!
The Roman approach to religion reminds me of the Mongol approach to religion. A pursuit to secure the favor of the divine for the glory of their people.
topic suggestion: Gem cutting? 🤷🏻♂️
I finally got to hear Simon say "Nike" correctly.
I feel like you did this already but you should do a video on products the consumer may not know are owned by Coca-Cola and Pepsi
With such a tendency to declare that several different gods are actually one in the same, no wonder the switch to monotheism worked so well.
Love when there's a glitch in the matrix and I get that sense of deja vu 😅
A very interesting video.
8:49 to 9:26 sounds like two duplicate takes.
Emperors became idols, celebrities, influencers. The more things change the more they stay the same
When you mentioned "gate keepers", in the beginning of your presentation, you said more than you may well realise. Research gate keepers in ref to your earliest religions.
It would be nice if you had mentioned how the Protestant Reformations (yes, plural), striped out Christianity from roman mythology, centering worship around Bible alone (Sola Scriptura).
I just noticed the transcript in the description, was there always a transcript? I rarely look in the description, I like it.
It started about 4 or 5 updates ago.
Love it! Great to have an expository historical context for understanding Abrahamic religions. (I was raised Christian and only learned one side.) Really appreciate your content, Fact Boy. Rock on. 🤘🏽
Good video 👍
Huh, so you’re saying that real estate on the mountain of the gods itself was more attainable than it is today? That’s a hell of a TIL.
Simon's ancestor was Kaiser Wilhelm II?
Using BCE and CE when no matter how you call them, still reference the birth of Christ, is kind of silly. Especially in a discussion about details and history of religion
Before Common Era and Common Era, no mention of a christ.
@@silvrtaln what defines common era year 1? It's 2022 because 2022 years ago Christ was born, according to Christendom.
Renaming it is silly, considering it is still based on the same calendar system devised by the early church.
If you want to remove the Christ from the year, you'll need to change the year and what marks year 1. Surprised no-one has tried.
@Cancer McAids That doesnt really count for much considering it still hasn't led us anywhere. (Anywhere good, anyway.) I'd consider that the day Humanity actually establishes a real meaningful presence amongst the stars.
Can there be a Simon Whistler channel that links to all these videos? I get lost trying to track all your fantastic channels Simon!
0:49 And the police and secret agencies all over the world are glad you did that test. And exposed you and all your relatives. Good job.
Easy way to remember it: Romans enslaved Greeks. They both admired and despised them, and the Latins saw themselves as the offspring of Etruscans, Sardians, Umbrians, Samnites, Italic Greeks, the other Italic tribes know under a banner of "Latinae", speakers of the Latin language.... and basically, in many ways, saw Greeks as "noble ancestors", and that Romans were the end state of a bunch of tribes from as far as southern Gaul, as far West as the Iberian Penninsula, and as far East as Greece and Turkey, as far South as islands like Crete; Greeks were, to Classical Romans, an endurance of a historical people that had been superseded by the inheritors of Italia. It was very possible to become Roman, as Simon explains, and the transformation of identity was different than we think of emigration now; it was almost like once you were infected (but in a good way) with being Roman, you were 100% now a Roman. Your blood became of Rome too.
I like how little drops of bathe blaze slips in sometimes.
Flexible gods. Twisted serpents. The same sky gods are represented all over the globe, called by different names, but the same personalities. That should ought to be the tell.
you know, the debate is still ongoing about where did the jewish/hebrew tribes originated from? They've been conquered (sumirians, babylonians, assyrians, egyptians, greeks, romans) and displaced so many times that historians cant put a needle on the map of their place of origin. Some state they actualy originated somewhere north of modern Iraq between the Tigris and Eufrate, got conquered by the sumerians then they where released when sumeria collapsed, moved to the region of Kanaan, got conquered by the egyptians, rebelled move back to Kanaan, conquered by the assyrians, persians, greeks romans, it's hard to keep track, also little note: their history is pretty much a collection of stories taken from their foreign masters. Like the story of adam and eve, Noah, wich are pretty much sumerian stories. There's also this theory that the modern day jewish ppl are not related to the original hebrew tribes but where 'converts' who lived in Russia and migrated across Europe and after WO2 they settled modern day Israel. God i love history, so much intresting stuff :) :)
300 years later a USB containing this video is found and becomes the inception for a new mythology. Was it Greek, Roman or Millennial. Future time will tell.
So it sounds like "Mars" became more of a title...like "Darth..."
My Heritage should do a video with a Hitler finding out all the members of his family that WEREN'T the most evil man in history.
As a Christian, I love learning about the origin of the faith. I believe God revealed Himself to different people, in different ways, at different times. This was mostly to the Hebrews, but also to the Greeks, Zoroastrians, and many others.
Amusingly, MyHeritage has a long term involvement with FamilySearch (which is run by the Church of Latter Day Saints). It's hilarious that they sponsored this.
We can thank the Mormons for most modern genealogical resources.
@@jliller Kinda creepy.
Interesting ... the USA should adopt such a system ... maybe then we would realize that political parties should be recognized and treated as religions.
love the shirt man...lol
looks like long-underwear..a one-piece.
anyway great vid :D
In order to gain the acceptance of Christianity by the Roman people, there was a transfer of who was the person to be worshipped. Jesus was made into a god, and declared to be the "only begotten son" of God, replacing the belief that the emperors were "sons of the gods". This placed Jesus over all others. So a humble, iterant rabbi was converted into a royal "King of Kings", often portrayed as sitting on a throne, dressed in kingly robes, holding a scepter.
Entirely unrelated, I’ve always suspected that there’s more to the rivalry, and later friendship, between Joe Louis and Max Schmeling than is generally discussed in the
American-centric version of the legend. However, I am a lazy man and no scholar, so I’ll leave the research to you. If there’s anything there, I’d love to hear about it.
I find the sponsor for this video highly ironic... No? Just me?
What does this have to do with battleships?
Simons beard is looking especially maintained in this video. and the gods love a tidy beard.
i.e.; We're all on a slow, inexorable slide towards more centralized and repressive authoritarian rule unless rebellion or disaster intervene...

I love your videos but that light classical music is confusing and discombobulating from a sensory standpoint
History always full of so many grey areas and muddled about to no end.

You need to watch zeitgeist the movie. The Christian religion has been copied throughout human history. The Egyptian religion is very similar. Coincidentally so is the first testament too. The second is just a rewrite. Same as the Muslim religion is too and is the 3rd testament.
