    No way I'd watch 4 hours of any other history documentary. Everyone has already applauded Mary for her fantastic presentation, but I think the producers and their crew also deserve high praise. The camera work and scene staging is top notch. And the organization required to get the trips planned, the lines scripted & recorded, all the pieces filmed, and to edit it all together so well is insane, especially with a small crew.

      This was originally done as 4 x 1 hour shows. Much more manageable. As you watch, you can see the gaps for the commercial breaks, and the four starts of each episode. What you could do is watch until you hit the start of the next episode, and take a break, then return at your leisure.

      ​@@laisphinto6372 ❤ Reincarnation is real. It is spoken about throughout all religious texts. The teachings of reincarnation were suppressed, especially in the West. Jesus of Nazareth was the Messiah. The Messiah reincarnated in 1971 to try to save humanity. Julian Assange is the Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth reincarnated. Julian exposed the lies and deception of the world governments via Wikileaks. Julian also exposed the killing and destruction of the Muslim/Arabic world and its inhabitants by the Western governments. The Romans and Jews are once again attempting to crucify our Messiah, and again, our hands are tied, and we are being prevented from stopping his crucifixion. Reread the Wikileaks drops and learn about Julian, it will become very clear to you what is taking place. The war in Gaza between the Palestinians and the Zionists was predicted and exposed before it even started (and has been ongoing for many years with the help of the West). So yes, to answer the question, the second coming of Christ is happening and has been since 2012 when Julian Assange went into the Ecuadorian Embassy in the UK.

    I Love the way Mary orders her thoughts and presents very complex history as though it were just a normal conversation. This is a rare talent. It inspires a student to then go learn all the details they can. She has given a framework for further learning. I think she is one of the greatest teachers of her time.
    She reminds me of the great Physiologists Arthur Guyton (no physician has published more work than him, at one point 70% of all Chairmen of USA Physiology departments trained under him). He was a kindly, sensitive old genius. that quietly inspired you to go devour as much knowledge as you could. Mary seems to have all those delightful gifts, so humble, so magnificent, she is.

What they all have in common is that great skill of bringing history to life and making you feel like you're talking to a friend, with maybe a little scandal and gossip mixed in. You get a real understanding from them all about what ordinary people's lives were really like, as well as the most prominent historical figures.

      one of these days you may be able to do that - I am an historian (Late Eastern Empire/Byzantine period) and also a multi media developer. I am working on an AI simulation project that would provide "total immersion" in a desired historical period. One of the sensory areas I am most involved with is trying to simulate olfactory and taste bud experiences. That is quite a challenge but also, in my opinion, essential to recreating a convincing simulation. Imagine walking the streets of Ostia back in 120 CE, smelling the aroma of bread baking, the fish market, wood fires, animal dung, spices, tree and flower blossoms, leather, smelting exhaust, all of it blending into a distinctive "city" aroma.

I hope we can all meet to talk about our experiences with this eternal story.

    Rome was so advanced in so many ways that in the dark ages we regressed and did not advance in so many areas for over 600 years and even then did we only step back into the light that Rome first lit. Can you even imagine how advanced we would be if Rome did not fall and we did not have centuries of the dark ages.
    The biggest question that Rome left us is what could have been if it did not perish.

      @@abdulsudaisy Sorry, but I would have to watch it again. But it was the typical stuff you hear from people interjecting their personal 'liberal' ideals on some historical subject. A few days ago I was reading a research paper on DNA studies of Phonecian burials- spread of their Mediterranean trade networks/settlement and the authors actually put in some crap about "how inclusive" it was to have brought a woman from the Levant to the western Med location of the burial. These people have no idea if that woman was properly loved and taken there voluntarily or if she was bought as a slave or taken captive. This stuff is almost overwhelming anymore between these ignorant comments about woman, races or the climate. If people really opened their eyes they would see all races are equally good and bad, cultural 'appropriation' isn't a negative but instead is the highest form of flattery, and the environmental catastrophes we currently face have all happened before. I don't mean to suggest that modern humans don't poison the earth - we sure do that. But I do not believe our poisoning of the earth causes world wide weather/climate issues. I don't know where you live, but in the US they expect US to abandone fossil fuels - do these morons that want that think it will make a difference worldwide. Only the like minded Western European leaders influenced by these stupid ideas think the same way. They want to abandone fossil fuels for systems that aren't yet fully developed or available and reliable. The rest of the world will not abandone fossil fuels, they will benefit from the cheaper energy and thrive while the US and EU collapse. It's kind of funny how propaganda driven those two societies are. I read a research paper once that put forward the thesis that the Spanish colonization of South America and its spread of diseases to the populations of S. America which wiped out large populations caused the climate change of the grand solar minimum of the time because the rainforest (lacking so many locals) was able to absorb so much green house gas it cooled the entire earth. These stupid idiots don't seem to know that the rainforest of the Amazon produce enormous amounts of greenhouse gasses without human help. They seem to forget that Carbon dioxide is plant air.

      So sick to think that being a slave was not so bad, when I look at Rome I do not see what some of us travel from all around the world on vacation to see, I see the sweat blood and tears of people working their fingers to the bone to build, Plant and serve their mostly wicked masters who all lived like gods, they did not have cars so they were even carried around by slaves from one place to another, These lazy men did not build anything, they only gave orders by the whip and sword, I doubt if they even have the knowledge to engineer anything of good use. Read about Moses in Egypt, I think about Moses in Rome, would more fit the narrative

    How astonishing and thrilling to visit these historical, nay legendary sites (Troy, for instance). This is a magnificent tour from an authority and adventurer that we can relate to as she takes us through the essential origins of European civilization. I studied Latin in high school in Canada; how odd that an ancient and glorious civilization should have such a long arm to reach into the 20th Century and prod me to look back in awe. I am most grateful for this presentation, Mary. Romae adhuc vivit.

    This is not fully accurate.
    Caesar had been a friend to Pompey, especially during the Gaul campaign.
    Further, Gaul was not a proper genocide.
    The judge and jury for Caesar was because the senate did not like his popularity.
    The rank of dictator already belonged to caesar. After the civil war he got the title of permanent dictator. Dictator also did not have the same meaning as today
    Further, there was no certainty Rome would remain under 1 man. Some believed the senate would return.
    Another, augustus was not first emperor but Princeps, or first citizen. Emperors werent really a thing yet

    History is way more clear with a Hellenic classical education, and someone who speaks like a native Greek and not as an outsider/foreigner who learned Greek. Dionysius Pyrrhus requests the exclusive use of Hellene in his Cheiragogy: "Never desire to call yourselves Romans, but Hellenes, for the Romans from ancient Rome enslaved and destroyed Hellas." And George Gemistus Plethon pointed out to Constantine Palaeologus that the people he leads are "Hellenes, as their race and language and education testifies". Ducas Vatatzes, wrote in a letter to Pope Gregory IX about the wisdom that "rains upon the Hellenic nation". He maintained that the transfer of the imperial authority from Rome to Constantinople was national and not geographic, and therefore did not belong to the Latins occupying Constantinople: Constantine's heritage was passed on to the Hellenes, so he argued, and they alone were its inheritors and successors. His son, Theodore II Lascaris, was eager to project the name of the Greeks with true nationalistic zeal. He made it a point that "the Hellenic race looms over all other languages" and that "every kind of philosophy and form of knowledge is a discovery of Hellenes […]. What do you, O Rome, have to display?"
    The ancient Greeks used the name "Italia" In addition to the "Greek Italy" and it was Ulfilas, a Greek Who Created the Early German Alphabet. The Greeks created it, the Germans copy it, and the English exploit it. 😅
    No other small country can compare with Greece in terms of impact on human benefit.
    In the beginning... God created the Earth, and in the light blue waters, put a small ship to travel forever, in order not only to give birth but also to transfer great ideas all over the world ...
    He called that ship...HELLAS! 🐬🐬🐬🐬

      ❤ Reincarnation is real. It is spoken about throughout all religious texts. The teachings of reincarnation were suppressed, especially in the West. Jesus of Nazareth was the Messiah. The Messiah reincarnated in 1971 to try to save humanity. Julian Assange is the Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth reincarnated. Julian exposed the lies and deception of the world governments via Wikileaks. Julian also exposed the killing and destruction of the Muslim/Arabic world and its inhabitants by the Western governments. The Romans and Jews are once again attempting to crucify our Messiah, and again, our hands are tied, and we are being prevented from stopping his crucifixion. Reread the Wikileaks drops and learn about Julian, it will become very clear to you what is taking place. The war in Gaza between the Palestinians and the Zionists was predicted and exposed before it even started (and has been ongoing for many years with the help of the West). So yes, to answer the question, the second coming of Christ is happening and has been since 2012 when Julian Assange went into the Ecuadorian Embassy in the UK.

    I have been to Tunisia 🇹🇳 and seen the Roman remains, the Arena, and an old foundation settlement, the Roman Mosaic are fascinating because some of the details correspond with computer programs and that suggest the Romans being more advanced than how we imagine their civilization could have been. We spent a full day with the tour guides as an exclusion and glad we did. The Arena is cluster of tunnels with gateway, and being there can imagine the furious animals treading through these tunnels making their way to the main court of the Arena and there are claw marks imprinted in the stone and it must have been terrifying for the participant.. really was an experience. Love watching these documentaries ❤
