Megaproject: Simon’s hosting schedule.
Honestly
I'ma guess he mass records alot of episodes, I bet one penny that's how it's done
Truly, I think he and his team are the hardest working people in the entirety of RUclips, I do not know of anyone else who is running so many different channels simultaneously. All good, interesting stuff that is often useful in debates and pointless internet arguments too, and he's quite impartial when it comes to controversial political stuff. The worst of each wing cannot ever be persuaded back to reality, a few can, but you can try break the Bandwagon Fallacy and people getting dragged into the Groupthink.
Humans are complicated, history doubly so. Simon, maybe a couple of toptenz on cognitive biases and logical fallacies might be worth it? Noble at least and try reduce the polarisation of our politics eg:
Groupthink, Confirmation bias, group attribution bias / fallacy of composition and division, Appeal to emotion fallacy, Bandwagon Fallacy, whataboutism, misrepresentation, False Equivalence, Slippery Slope Fallacy, Motte & Bailey bait and switch, Anchoring Bias, actor-observor bias aka hypocrisy, that kinda thing?

He sucks so bad.
Rome was not built in a day. I think that makes it a Megaproject.
@John Ashtone .... It was Rome. Not the US gov. No low bidders.
And the roads and buildings have to last 2k yrs not 20.
will always take half the time to sack though lol
I'd say it would count as even more of a megaproject of it had been built in a day! 😂
The Roman empire is remembered so well bc no other empire has had such a lasting influence on modern culture, government, and everyday life. It truly was one of the greatest empire to ever exist
The Greeks have entered the chat in the name of democracy
Roman and greeks are western brothers
and on many countries there are still today -being used -roads and bridges made by the romans. So, it´s not just a memory or a museum piece.
Only in western history is it, the eastern world has more of a lasting influence in Asia, and Africa would have if it hadn't been raped and made to be forgotten cos of the colour of the people.
@@kashermasher82 we are talking about western history, right?

History doesn't go back that far.
I was, at one point, helping to edit a book for a friend... Indus Valley: The Origin of Written Language ..it was never published, as it is not a popular theory. . . but seeing the star charts carved into stone, seeing written characters (again, carved into stone) was quite something. I actually believe this theory may be correct, as scientists have been finding older and older signs of humanity. I hope Simon at least looks into it and covers it as a theory, at the very least, if he does do this topic. I would watch. 👍
Rather.. history..
Great timeing, i was just thinking about the roman empire.
I love the way Simon says “Empire”

@@persontaco1102 There was no east and west, there was only one Rome, of which the western part fell, but the Roman empire continued to exist
@@jazzermesterThe part of the empire that had Rome in it fell. These were Romans in the truest cultural sense, that’s why the fall is often considered to have taken place in 476. The part of the empire that was culturally more Greek persisted.
"All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?"
What's this, then? 'Romanes Eunt Domus'? 'People called Romanes they go the house'?
Damn, you beat me too it, lol.

Uh, brought peace?
The roman system of Law was so good it was copied by the Barbarian invaders (to keep their own peoples and the conquered Romans in line) and became a foundation of all modern western law today.

Gotta subtract a bit for Magellan ad
amazing to hear ~600 years worth of history boiled down to 20 min. for a insanely difficult task, you did a very impressive job.
Ironically been playing a lot of Total War: Rome Remastered lately... Good timing
Great game. The diplomacy sucks, but still a fun game. Brings back lots of memories.
@@richardpowell1772 Diplomacy always sucked in old Total war games lol
Coincidence not irony. Still good time and great game.
@@Abelslayer1222 I don't think it's a coincidence at all actually. I'm pretty sure the discussion about the Roman empire as increased a lot recently.
@@Koyotito20 I know, but I figured they would have improved it for Rome Remastered…but it’s even worse than I remembered.
I was impressed by the pace and clearness. Very often if people trying to explain too much to quickly it becomes "information out of a fire hose", but I was actually able to follow all this. Well done. I was smiling when you got to the beached Carthaginian ship, I knew that story and it's an impressive one. Not only does this prove that mass production existed, but that the work force were literate.
Tip/request: a graphical timeline on the lower margin would really help provide a sense of time scale… especially with “mega projects” spanning multiple centuries 😅
The timeline is wrong. Rome never fell in 476.

Too big for a single Movie... It may fit being broken into bite-sized chunks like 'Star Wars'.
Mega projects idea: Simon's glorious beard
How original
How it started as mere 5:00 shadow when his razor broke. A futile search through various markets both moderately sized and supah kept the young man busy over the next couple of days until low and behold it coalesced into stubble. Succeeding days turned into a week and still no razors available. Eventually the man decided he that if he just had a subscription to a suitable beard service he would be able to get the much needed supplies. And that lets us slide right into our sponsor....
He's definitely better looking with beard than as geeky without
@@j.a.weishaupt1748 how original of you to comment that too
Beard Blaze + his wife saying 'ugh yeah, sure'
Have a few German Mega Projects Idea:
1. The "Elbphilharmonie" ist a big opera house built in the Hamburg old Harbour ontop of antique buildings which aren't allowed to be altered.
2. The Big Upgrade to the Munich subway network currently, with digging of a second main track, to ease the pressure on the old and overused central tunnel. That one is actually the most used two-way rail track in the world. Also the whole Munich "S-Bahn" drives more track km a year than the whole German long distance Network.
3. Maybe in a Megaprojects Video we can finally get behind the million of delays to the new Berlin Airport, which finally opened last year. The Year no-one could fly due to covid :D
Just a few Ideas that i thought could be interesting.
Small correction: "Res Publica" actually means "Public thing" or "Thing of the public". So it's not "for the people" but more "of the people". Government (the thing) of the people (the public).
I no longer believe Simon is real... He is a rendering AI that can produce hours of video in minutes.
that would explain how he can move stuff around in his greenscreen backgrounds!
He truly is an expert in his craft. His articulation and detail of the stories he tells is top tier, especially on RUclips. Amazing bloke
I also think that his knowledge is unrivaled by many professors

I love your channels. Thank you. You pack so much information into your sentences I'm constantly having to rewind to get everything. If you could slow down the delivery just a little please. But really you're awesome thanks
Brilliant video. 📹
Thank you very much, Simon. 😁
It’s was very interesting to watch this, as I live only a hundred meters from some stone remains of Hadrian’s Wall. There’s a great amount of history relating to the Roman Empire around Northumberland and the surrounding area of Newcastle Upon Tyne.
My favorite fun fact about Roman history is that it was founded by Romulus, and the last emperor of the Western Roman Empire was also named Romulus.
It was found by Romulus and the republic was found by brutus and the republic was destroyed by brutus the first emperor was Augustus and the last emperor was Romulus Augustus ✌
Russia represents true Europe, …a continuation, of the Orthodox Christian, Roman Empire, ….the one and only Roman Empire, that was led by the glittering capital, and centre of first Europe, Constantinople.
Those dang Romulans and their awesome warbirds (TNG era ones) coolest looking spacecraft ever
Constantinople founded by emperor Constantine and ended with emperor Constantine XI.
Good stuff ! Well done again Simon !
Fantastic summary!
Who else is here because they had no idea how often guys thought about the Roman empire?
To us men Rome lives in enteral glory.
Wish there was room for Marius and Sulla. The real beginning of the fall of the republic.
Those background paintings are simply BEAUTIFUL!! ❤
I know I’m discovering this particular video 2 years after it was released, but i just wanted to say i appreciated your brief, but pertinent history of the Roman Empire - I really enjoy all your channels, so kudos to you and your team 👍
Here is a megaproject idea : the industrial works that built the british navy. In many ways it began and drove the industrial revolution. The construction and maintenance of a huge fleet of ships of the line really changed the world forever.
Take a shot every time he says empire. Good luck with your alcohol poisoning.
1 min in and im drunk
A very good succinct summary. Thank you.
I swear... Simon makes videos for the purpose of posting on one channel... But just divides them all up equally to his 100 other channels, to keep content rolling... And I’m all for that. 💪🏻
Simon if you did an entire channel of ancient stuff I would watch the hell out of it. Rome would be fascinating enough by itself, but Babylonian, Egyptian, South America all worthy the Whistler voiceover. For now I will enjoy the hell out of this a couple more times & jump to Geo/Bio-graphics to scratch the itch.
Wow.. Rome, rise and fall, in 20 minutes.
The Rise and Fall of Rome could *easily* be it's own channel, run for 10 years at 3 videos a week, and still have not covered everything
Are you complaining that the short version, which does not claim to be an exhaustive description of the entire history of Rome, *exists* ?
Russia represents true Europe, …a continuation, of the Orthodox Christian, Roman Empire, ….the one and only Roman Empire, that was led by the glittering capital, and centre of first Europe, Constantinople.
Rome didn't fall in 476.
I’m so happy I found this !
Thank you Simon
Thanks for the Etruscan beginnings. More videos about them and the megolithic structures (nuraghe) on Sardengia would be appreciated. Keep up the good work, Mr. Simon!
If only claudius’s histories on the etruscans were still here. I cry for it every day
What " good work " ? ? Everything
is plagiarized without acknowledging from the researches of others ! It's only thanks to morons like you be can pretend to be an 'expert ' !
Oh, you intellectual, you...! 😁
The best short summary of the Roman Empire ever! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I was going to suggest splitting the video into multiple videos. Then I thought I could suggest a new channel on the topic until I remembered you have several amazing channels. Nice work.
Giving it's memorial day tomorrow here in America, as you were talking about the fall of Rome I was imagining Taps playing in the background.
Those renaissance paintings are as historically correct as Hollywood movies
You Simon do great videos thank you for your hard work!
Thanks for showing some cool art with the speech, it makes it more awesome.
The East Roman Empire - Constantinopol - lived longer with a stabler social structure, though in a much windier place. The West sunk into the obscurity of the Dark Ages.
Well done! Do one on the rise and fall of the British Empire?
He did. He is a lot more judgemental on the British than he is on the Romans. "The British Empire: The Good, Bad, and Ugly Details of The World's Largest Empire"
a great one. thankyou
Yo keep up the episodes there amazing to listen to while doing something
Empire building.
Mega project seems a bit of an understatement
"Mark Antony committed suicide along with his lover Cleopatra." That is some audacious historical editing...
Great insight as always
❤ love history….nice break from crime story’s. Just to get my big brain thoughts together.
Frankly, i would listen to Simon anything Simon. He makes Stories clear and interesting.
Simon, I love your channel - the subjects, the content and your engaging style! I have a question, that may be a topic for you to cover: in ancient times, eg the expansion of the Roman Expire, how did nations communicate? No English or French or universal language or writing. Did they use Latin?
When NONE of Simon's shows will work with the topic, they MAKE IT FIT!
great video
I could not of done this video in 20 minutes it would of taken me way longer to explain. You did a great job cutting it down but still getting a great amount of detail my man.
We need a biography on Justinian!
And don't forget the equally immortal you-know-who: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pee-wee_Herman
You have the emperors' domains mixed up at around 17:45, Diocletian ruled the East, Maximian the west.
He also said Diocletian established Constantinople as the capital of the East lol
Also, Maximian resigned from power with Diocletian in 305. He didn’t rule as the western augustus until his death
good stuff
That score hits me everytime. 2:12
This is a subject that could be several episodes
It could easily fill up an entire semester worth of time.
Byzantine is word used by historians. No one living in the (eastern) Roman Empire called themselves Byzantine nor were they call it. They called themselves “Romans”.
Yes. A name that stuck, i'm afraid. I hate it. But i suppose the Greco-roman Empire is a bit of a mouthful so... byzantine it is.
@@WhydoIsuddenlyhaveahandle It was a thing by that time. It was actually a real thing (this distinction) since the 800 AD and onwards. The West didn't consider the Byzantine empire as Roman, they called it Imperium Grecorum and it's people just Greeks. The people of the Byzantine empire you mean haven't felt any different and they still considered themselves Roman citizens.
But we have to say that it the actual period Byzantine empire had been consider a kinda different from the older Roman version by great many people.
I'm not saying that's good or applause it, we all know the West had it's own interests for doing it but still it's honest to say to mention how things were.

An important common story told well , excellent video 📹
Honestly, it doesn't matter what topic or which channel. If I see Simon hosting I'm watching.
Ok so I realize Simon is doing everything possible to do a broad summary of Rome, but there is SO MUCH important info he is leaving out here. Julius Caesar was hated because he was a good military general? True, but there was cause to hate him because before he became that general, he served the highest political office in the Senate (Consul) and broke many laws when in office holding Imperium (basically diplomatic immunity). There was also the fact that the last few great generals in Rome (Marius and Sulla) had started a civil war the likes of which had never happened in Roman history before and that literally had happened 1 generation before Caesar became powerful. The memories of that time still were fresh in most of the Senate. Another thing, Simon glossed over Hannibal quite a bit here. If you think the Romans were a bit extreme for what they did to Carthage, you should keep in mind that Hannibal pretty much fought in mainland Italy against the Romans for a literal decade and in that time had wiped out basically an entire generation of young Roman men. They hated Carthage, yeah, but if that was me I would hate Carthage too. I realize this whole thing is pointless but when you know more about the causes of the things that are being summarized here, it is hard to hear 'yeah they just hated Caesar' and not think 'it's really not that simple.'
Sounds like you are volunteering to start a RUclips channel and clear up all of the details. When will you be releasing the video?
It would take more than 20 minutes just to name all of the emperors of Rome.😁
Edit: Still... Daryl kinda makes a good point there.
That explains why he was executed by his Senators.
Pretty sure Simon has covered some of that in more detail on other videos. Should check them out
Forget Mary Beard, Simon's Beard is here. All of Roman Empire in 20 minutes.
Only an hour late, lol. Slept in today, thanks Simon!
Good video 👍
"He killed his brother in 752 BC over a disagreement about where exactly the city would be built, which sounds a bit minor for an act of fratricide but O.K"
It was a different time, a much simpler one back then...
😂
Last time I was this early Rome was still ruled by kings.
Brilliant 👏
Not easy to summarize a long story. Well done. Congratulations from Roma! Ciao.
In 20 minutes? You're going to put us history teachers out of business!
If we're being technical about the end, than technically the Empire ended with the fall of Trebizond in 1461; if memory serves me right.
True, but also technically speaking the Ottomans had intermarried with a number of the ruling families of the Empire, and they liked to claim that they were continuing the Empire just as had happened before after many of its "civil wars". If you want to stretch it as thin as possible, Felipe VI of Spain holds claim to the throne after the last member of the Imperial Palaiologos line, Andreas, bequeathed the title to Ferdinand of Aragon in his will. Several other former royal houses hold claim too, French Bourbons because Andreas initially sold the title to Charles VIII, but the king died before he could do anything so Andreas took it back, Bonapartes because they ruled France for a bit, and the Romanovs, because Andreas sister married Ivan III (Romanovs were a branch of the Rurikids).
Ah, yes. Charlemagne and the Holy Roman Empire. The Tzar and the Kaiser. One could argue that, perhaps, the Roman Empire still exists today. Well, at the very least it has greatly influenced the world up to the beginning of the 20th century. Dare I say that it "still exists today."
I was recently playing Civilization 6 on the actual world map with real life starting positions, and i was playing Egypt. Rome was wiped out by the Carthaginians in the first 15 turns, and i had front seats to the whole thing. I ended up allying with Carthage
All my RUclips notifications are Simon Whistler videos. Sweet!
Who's humming they might be Giants? Just me?
In some ways the Roman empire was survived by the empires inspired by it's lessons such as the holy Roman empire and of course the British Empire
"British Empire" lmao.
I believe this is THE definition of a megaproject!
Love your work! Here is a question you might want to explore. How old is water? How ol is the water I am drinking just now? Many thanks!

@@owenshebbeare2999 anything sounds better than American, English there hasn't been spoken nor spelt correctly for at least the last 3 centuries.
Great video! My kids learned a lot with this also whats a tick tack?
Great video, but would have loved to hear what you thought were the motivating attitudes and philosophies that drove Rome to such heights.
Cool video, but you skipped completely over Constantine's reunification of the Empire and the emergence of Christianity as a state sponsored religion. The rise of Imperial Christianity played a part in the relative stabilization of the empire's populace (and thus a more stable central government) that led to the Emperors lasing another 150+ years. And it's worth noting that while the Emperors were gone, Roman traditions remained after the Empire was a memory, declining into the Dark Ages though they were. As for the Byzantine Empire, they never called themselves this; they called themselves Romanoi, or Romans. The term Byzantine Empire itself wasn't used until the 16th century, well after the Ottomans had ended it. It's a strange term used to split the Empire into more manageable chunks of time.

This region was late Romanized. It was famous for its excellent soldiers, frustrated but courageous. In Illyria (in the geographical sense) was indeed the most powerful of the Roman armies, in charge of watching over the Danube (nearly 12 legions, that is to say 130 000 men).

Jeez Simon, how many vids you gonna release today? I say not enough!
Overlaying The Course Of Empire paintings on the course of Rome... Very cheeky Simon.
If your expanding the scope of a mega project, should do one on one the building of modern city, the roads, sewer, power, demolition and changing of the cityscape. A constantly evolving growing project on an insane scale... always wondered what the cost of a city is estimated at. Not just it’s current but everything from its roots to what it is now. Would probably have to be a couple of videos as so many intertwined systems that go into a metropolis.
I remember back in the '80s when satellite TV promised a huge upgrade in programming because once you bought the service, there were no advertisements. I remember the screen going blank during talk shows that would air from the 3 major networks during the commercials. That didn't last long.
