Just thinking about how many harem plots happened in Chinese, Ottoman, and Egyptian history is yet one more reason why banning polygamy was a good move. Imagine if Henry VIII's wives were all alive at the the same time, AND his mistresses kids all had a shot at the throne. Also, Pharaoh Speedrun when? 😆
The only real advantage of Polygamy seems to be an increased birth rate, in every other way it seems to make life worse. Obviously, kings want progeny, and Polygamy helps ensure that, otherwise, really throws wrenches in the works.
Sure thing! Tacitus’ Annals, Livy’s Roman history, Herodian, Cassius Dio, Herodotus, city of the Sharp Nosed Fish, History of Classical Greece, History of Archaic Greece, Social Control in Late Antiquity, Protestants, Bible as History, Anglo Nostalgia, War and Peace, Gibbons Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, the Later Roman Empire, Atilla the Hun, Viking Age Yorkshire and finally, South West Africa in Early Times. A pretty eclectic mix I know. Let me know if you want authors names too
these videos are so underrated
Agreed!

Definitely the best episode of Law&Order!

Pharaoh speed run would take an age to make so I'll probably just pick a particular era (probably the new Kingdom)

What editing program do you use to make your videos?
iMovie lol
Could you tell me what books do you have behind your head in the video? All of them if it's okay
