"No-one is interested in history anymore, nobody watches history programmes, nobody, but nobody wants to be lectured by a woman, let alone an attractive woman like you......" Oh, my, God! Bettany Hughes has proved THAT particular "sad individual" wrong as has Mary Beard and Alice Roberts to name but a few!
BETTANY IS RIGHT..

True + fantastic
I’ve been book-crazed all my life, on so many subjects it’s ridiculous, but I also like to watch top-drawer documentaries on RUclips when I need a break from reading. Documentaries covering subjects I know nothing about frequently stimulate my curiosity so that I get my hands on books to find out more, which is how I also assumed others thought. The problem I’m very concerned about as I scan down the comments sections after watching documentaries is that people watch 50-60 minutes about a person in history, for example, and they write as though they know all they need to know followed by completely ignorant, harebrained critiques. And I’m thinking, WTF?? Is it better for people who don’t read _anything_ and have varying levels of education to watch a bunch of documentaries and decide they’re experts, or better for them not to watch or read anything and remain in blissful ignorance? From the comments I’ve read, I’d say the latter!
"Nobody is interested in history anyone " quite true unti they realize that the modern world and it's personalities are all characters from the past. The UK population being derived from ancient Greeks.
The f are you talking about ? Ethnically British people are NOT the descendants of the Ancient Greeks. Europeans have been quite diverse for a very long time ...

When I went to Grenada visiting the Alhambra. I was stunned by the guides passive but pronounced anti Islam bias. And Islam had been in Spain for 700 years
Well, think about it this way…..700 years of being ruled by conquerors builds up a whooooooole lot of resentment in future generations! Have you not heard of the theory of genetic memory, which suggests that general associations or common experiences (especially traumatic ones) can become incorporated into a population’s genetic code? It’s more complex than that, but it gives the idea. Next, I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase, “snap judgement”? You made a determination about a place with a distinctly different culture which you toured once for a couple of hours, encountered an “attitude” you interpreted to be passive racism/ethnic discrimination, and yet you have no problem saying that you were “stunned” by your perception! You seem to have zero suspicion that you _could_ have misjudged the people you didn’t even know, in a country not your own, and that, based on these facts, you wry well could have misjudged what you experienced. How can you be so sure?? This is _precisely_ the problem I have with 60 minute historical documentaries: they make people who have very little knowledge about or experience with information they’ve received from a documentary feel suddenly educated enough to make snap judgements, and there’s zero perspective taking in their comments. The words, “Could I be wrong about this, or overstating what I know?” are incredibly important, at least to me!
