19:35 there's a bit of discussion around the wolf part of the story. the word in latin is lupa/lupus, but it also can mean a promiscuous woman. so their mother might not have been a wolf
My family are all JW’s. They are fans of believing whatever they want. And they believe the Ark was a real thing. They always turn it into one of those “He did it with the power of God” situations.

Hi there! History Major here and I love this video. I thought I'd make a few comments on things on this iceberg since it's alot of subjects I like to discuss as a historian 👉🏻👈🏻 I'll provide timestamps or atleast try! 3:17 the pyramids were built by volunteer farmers and citizens mainly due to their culture of Pharaoh worship. If I remember correctly the pharaoh was considered descendants of their Gods. The big question now a day is HOW the Egyptians transported and built the pyramids. 6:11 I've seen and used that map for celtic expansion! That's the La Téne and Halstatt cultures that were early celtic. The Celtics are unique amongst other groups of their time of expansion as they are the first to really use and explore the capabilities of iron (to the point it's referred to as the Celtic Iron Age by some). As for why they survived in the British Isles, I'd personally suggest places like Scotland and Ireland where Rome did not either gain much ground (Scotland) or altogether just never touched (Ireland). Due to this celtic culture, through the Pictish and larger Gaels/Goidelic basically thrived far longer without contact in these two locations while the Britons (modern Welsh) were mixed and affected by both their Celtic origin and Roman occupation! 12:30 from what I've heard the general consensus among some is that the people of Roanoke merged and assimilated into the Native Culture as you mentioned. It's still rather mysterious! 14:20 while I'm unsure the academic consensus, from what I've known both as someone who loves researching theological history, Sheba is usually attested to have been in the Etheopia, Yemen, or Sudan. There's no concise answer but I think we have a general understanding of where if could be! 18:07 while Arthur (especially under that name) was sketch on existence, he is likely based off Lucius Artortius Castus, a member of Gens Artoria (a rather well known Roman family) there are inscriptions attested to him and he likely became the basis for what we know today. 21:00 when discussing Goliath, if I remember his height was actually altered at some point! If I remember earlier forms of the story put him to what we'd consider more upper 6 to 7 foot range (which can happen with Gigantism)! I think I found that from Trey the Explainer. 23:35 fun fact, Mycaenae valued Chtonic or Earthly Gods over sky Gods. So people like Poseidon and Hades were found to be more important over Zeus. This is evident in their epithets like Myc Posiedon being named EARTH SHAKER with his relation to Earthquakes 35:53 "the pyramids aren't tombs... yes they are" 😂 43:52 I think I saw somewhere that someone had begun to actually put theories into practice and had found a mixture or creation that was simialr to what Greek fire was described as, that and even for the middle ages Byzantine Rome was really smart especially with mechanics. 44:57 Tartar/Tartaria came out of the decline of the Mongol empire was kind of a catch all name for the different parts of Central and North East Asia. It's something I wished we looked at more tho
@@FoxAkimbo aye no problem! I love history and I love to share a little stuff around it! Big props to the research done for this video btw! I'm gonna look into Clovis Culture when I get the chance!
Thank god you corrected this guys many mistakes I was going to lose my mind. Also he diverts and talks about himself a little too much to be able to relax and listen to these stories. But obviously that’s just my 2 cents 🙃
@@Monkforilla I dont think I necessarily corrected mistakes aside from 1 or 2 which was adding a bit more information on the subject that you likely would have to have followed more history based channels or done the Jstor leg of research (which no one should have to go through 💀). For the most part I added some other information I thought was just as important regarding some of the subjects within the video, or mentioned what the history field generally agrees on or believes for some of the stuff he left open like Sheba. I think the Iceberg video was good especially for a channel that's not focused on history!
There are records stating that pine resin and sulfur were part of Greek fire, but that mixture doesn't completely replicate its properties. It was a liquid with low enough viscosity to pour from pipes. Greece had access to something which they called "Median oil," which is understood to be crude oil in modern times. A mix of crude oil and pine resin would allow Greek fire to be incredibly sticky while also being possible to pour from pipes at a reasonable rate. Greek fire also ignited on contact with water, with water being introduced to the mixture making already-burning flames more intense. Quicklime was well-known and easily produced at the time and combusts violently on contact with water. Being mixed with the oil would stabilize it enough that moisture in the air would rarely be an issue, but trying to extinguish the flame with water would wash some oil off the quicklime and allow it to ignite. While it can only be speculation since the exact formula is lost to history, it seems likely that Greek fire was made with a base of crude oil and pine resin with sulfur and quicklime mixed in. It would effectively be primitive napalm with the added bonus of water making it significantly worse for anyone unlucky enough to get any on them, and any nation with access to napalm 1270 years before actual napalm was invented would definitely want to keep its formula a secret.
The amount of ads on this one video has completely made my monthly premium subscription worth it. Like holy moly man. I have literally never seen so many ads on one video in my life.
This was tremendous man, thank you. I saw your collab with Dantavius on his channel a few days ago and I've been binging your iceberg videos ever since. You done some great work, my friend!
This was a really great video man ! I love learning about History and stuff like that and you do a pretty good job at making 46 minutes a pretty chill one.
:O This was a really interesting video! I've definitely been fooled by some of the history myths before,,, and it's fascinating learning more about the world's mysteries!! Love the humour u inject to your recordings too!
Wait, it wasn't common knowledge that King Arthur wasn't real? Seeing that Sir Gawain sat at his table and was fictional, it can be assumed Arthur was fictional too. King Arthur was meant to be a character who common folk could look to for inspiration, like how Sir Gawain was the ideal, pious young man. Source: I studied literature in college.
I remember seeing a picture of Napolean in the hallway of my school and I sarcastically remarked "Phil Collins, is that you?" and my teacher died laughing
Bosnian Pyramids do exist though, there are hidden tunnels inside of them with Clay-stuff found inside. They are even said to be older than the egyptian pyramids
It wasn't the library of Alexandria that set us back, it was the sacking of the Hall of Wisdom in Baghdad. The surviving works of the Library of Alexandria was actually moved there. It contained the knowledge of Chinese medicine, Arab astronomy, European agriculture, Egyptian chemistry and sciences, Greek philosophy, Indian math, etc. etc etc. The quote goes that after the razing of Baghdad and sacking of the library, "the Euphrates ran red with blood and the Tigris ran black with ink" after the Mongols threw the books and bodies into the river.
I want discoveries of Arab astronomy because that will lead to the rediscovery of old Arabic/Islamic alchemy/astrology. It is so funny how much of Islamic or Arabic history people don’t know and I say this as a Muslim.
As far as Joan of Arc goes, I think she heard voices in her head , but was still an _absolute badass_ and a hero of France who deserves all of her fame and respect.
You have inspired me to start working on my own iceberg video! I finally got the motivation to do it because of you, should be done in late August- early september
Just found your channel, pure icebergs I love it. I'm watching them in order now and it's really funny because in the first one you skipped creepypastas saying that you weren't sure that was the vibe that you wanted for your channel and now you have a lot of videos with mysteries and creepy stuff
When I started out I was doing disney and pixar stuff, and I didn't want to scar any children haha, these days idm because I assume that kids don't care about historical mysteries etc.
Great video! I do gotta say that if you're looking for more info on the colony of Roanoke, Mr. Ballen has a great video on it with a lot more details than I've ever heard previously.
21:20 Robert Wadlow, the tallest person ever recorded, was 8 foot 11 which is just an inch below 9 foot. Possibly Goliath was 9 feet tall and that just don't happen anymore these days.
He was that tall because of a deformity with the pituitary gland, I agree with you but I think what it actually was is he had that deformity and his height was just overblown
@@wirldemistero3397 There is no scientific basis for denying the existence of humans above 7 feet. Gigantism and Dwarfism are real phenomena and the Ice-age steppes provides a real biological reason to breed/select for size when it comes to people living there alongside mammoths and other megafauna. Of course many religious/ignorant people don't want anything older than 6000 years old to get properly researched because their whole worldview and sense of security is based on a fixed and cozy timeline of events. Dwarf people are biased towards a dwarf-only worldview because xenophobia is a universal trait of animals, and all human subspecies are ultimately animals.
In regards to the Sheba thing, its not super weird that all three of those holy books have that mention, considering the Christian Old Testament is literally just the entirety of the Jewish Bible, and I'm pretty sure in Islam many Jewish holy books are still part of, or inspired pieces of, islamic religious practice, even if not explicitly the word of God, and it's also a descendant of ancient Judaism (i think they have a different timeline of prophets or something, I don't remember the specifics). Since they're all kind of in the same family of religions, it makes sense that they'd all refer to the same place. As for what it actually is, I'd be willing to bet it's either an alternate name for an existing Kingdom that we do know about, or it is a fictional representation of one of the major kingdoms, kind of like how Revelations has a bunch of parallels to the Roman Empire. It's not uncommon for the same thing to have multiple names within the Bible (god has like 3 or 4 names i think)
Yeah I don't think many people really know about the origins of the 3 Abrahamic religions but essentially Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism and Islam is an offshoot of Christianity which is why the Bible and Quran are almost identical, whats even crazier is how all 3 kinda hated eachother despite believing in the same god just in different translations
I'm not an expert by any means, but I believe Islam considers Jesus to have been an envoy of God and a great prophet, but not a messiah. As far as I'm aware, despite the common belief that Jesus is the literal Son of God he's actually considered a human manifestation of God himself. Islam doesn't consider Jesus to be a literal part of God but he was one of God's chosen messengers and imbued with some of Gods divine power. You could also think of the Quran as basically an extra book in the bible. Muslims generally believe that the Quran records the final time that God that ever directly interacted with humanity. But, again, I'm by no means an expert in any of this I just find Abrahamic religions very interesting.
@@tacoking1333 it's also worth noting that for the longest time they weren't even considered separate religions. Christianity was basically just a sect of Judaism for centuries, rather than a distinct religion
We know Goliath's height was changed to be taller. Originally it was just under 8 feet but it depends on how big cubits and spans were. So he more likely was 7 feet tall which still is a giant compared to the average height was like 5'2. Also the nephilim were just their term and explanation for demigods or the apparent children of humans and gods. Back then most people believed most gods existed but argued over who's was greater. It's why the first commandment is "Thou shalt have no other gods before me" and not "I am the only god". Even protojudaism had three main gods El, Asherah, and Baal. Eventually Yahwehism popped up during the iron age and absorbed the other three gods into the same religion. Then they really got confused and started mixing up which god was who. Which lead to believing it was just Yahweh. Which is the birth of Judaism.
I recently had my genealogy done and it turns out I'm a descendent of the lost colony of Roanoke on both my mother and fathers side Edit: I don't know if genealogy is the right word my sister was the one who wanted it looked into and I figured it would be cool to find out who my ancestors were
Imo one of the creepiest and most unsettling historical mysteries is the Sea People of the Mediterranean. Just the idea of people that seemingly came out of nowhere and destroyed and ransacked many nations only to return to the ocean never to be seen again is a weird sense of unsettling eeriness. Not to forget to mention how they essentially left no records of their existence, and all we have to go off of is the personal accounts of multiple nations and civilizations that these people existed.
@@pennyforyourthots Not really. Maybe 49% consider themselves creationists but that's something of a broad and ineffective term. For instance, Catholics believe in both the big bang and evolution. They believe that humans evolved naturally but were endowed with soul by God. Technically they would be considered Creationists but if you can't see the stark difference between that belief system and people that think the Earth is 6000 years old and that Humans always existed in our current form then something is wrong.. That's why the term creationist isn't particularly useful in my opinion. Though I'm not sure what that poll you read was about. Young Earth creationists make up a fairly small percentage of religious people, they just tend to have the loudest voice.
The origins of Tataria is so wild though, like this name was used for so long by so many nations, those known by different names now, but those who actually call themselves Tatars today? No clue where they are from. Many ancient civilizations are known for mysteriously disappearing, but this one is known for mysteriously APPEARING. And this was like 600 years ago, but everyone was too distracted by the Mongol invasion to notice that.
Not sure if someone has made a commented on this but the Romans genocided the Celts out of mainland Europe. It's why they only really existed in present day England after the fall of the Romans.
I feel like something about indigenous Australians should be in here, they are the oldest human civilisation, and migrated from Africa between 51,000 and 72,000 years ago, they still have stories about giant birds and snakes and lizards, passed down as legend.
I use a tonor, but if I'm honest most of my audio quality (Which fluctuates in all fairness, I'm still learning my mic skills) comes from knowledge of the Premiere Pro and youtube tutorials, which I learnt from this video: ruclips.net/video/setayq2RHzA/видео.html
Glad you think so! With every video I'm hoping to take something to bring into the next, we're only starting out here, got a lot of improvements to go :)
You've never heard of the pit with all the wooden platforms on Oak Island? It certainly suggests something is there. Also the colony probably just went and moved in with a Native tribe, and some may have went off and tried to establish a new colony on that island.
The pyramids were built by capitalists and the low-class tribes were communists that revolted against their "oppressors". It's really not that complicated, but of course leftism has always tried to construct a narrative that fits their own *dreams* of what reality is/was.
When the library of Alexandria burnt it was already in ruins. Plus everything in it was a copy so the original texts still existed. So it wasn't as big a deal as people think.
It was a title, yeah, used even way after the time of the Romans. Think the term “Kaiser”, which effectively became the Germanic term for the word “emperor”, and “Tsar” - its equivalent in Russian/Slavic languages.
Not religious or anything but hear me out! Not saying if Noah’s Ark is real or not, but 2 of “every” animal could happen back then. What I mean is that Noah would probably base his idea on what “every animal on earth” would be because he’s only seen a few. Goes with the saying “You don’t know, what you don’t know” but how hilarious would it be if he only had 15 pairs of animals and was ready to go
If David and Goliath did exist, then the battle wasn't as much the small guy beating the odds and taking down a giant, and more like a sniper taking out an unarmed target.
@@FoxAkimbo Yeh, I'm such a nerd, lol. I actually used to despise history at school, but it was probably more down to the teacher/teaching style than the subject. I'm glad you had as much fun researching it as I am having watching it! 🙂
@@mozzerianmisanthrope406 Yeah I completely get that, I love learning but sometimes at school teachers can just ruin a subject, it's such an important job and some people really make a hash of it. It was a fun one to make :)
None of what you said was what the Roman's would have called an emperor. Consol is an elected position from the republic closer to a president. Pontifex maximus was the highest religious position. The first emperor of rome was Caesars adopted son and his soldiers declared him to be "Augustus"
Your logical and rational thinking makes you extra sure that some things are not true. But some things deny logic and ration. Not that they’re true, but it’s important to remember that what we don’t know, we simply don’t know.
My idea of Noah’s Ark is that Noah was a barge man and a flood season was coming in, so the two of every animal was two of every animal in his immediate area because the world was a lot smaller in the perspective of people back then. So he put them on his barge and the flood only hit his immediate area and once the flood waters receded, he released the animals thinking he was repopulating the world.
@@scabbarae just to be precise, electricity has been used for gold plating and similar processes back then. Probably not strong enough to separate sodium though.
I read a book on pope Joan. She wasn't 9 months pregnant when she gave birth. She was 4 months pregnant and bled out while miscarrying at a parade of some sort, so she was literally out in the open. Although this hasn't been confirmed. So, not assuming factualness. But that's the legend. I think it's not impossible. The book is quite interesting, though. Highly recommend.
You are somewhat wrong with the Roman Emperors title thing. The Roman Emperors actually clad themselves in official roles and honorific titles like; Pontifex Maximus - religious leader and Consul - military and political head. I don't remember what imperator stands for, but note that these titles and roles enables the wearer/politican to do specific things within the bureaucracy. And this is important because Roman's generally did not like kings, they were actually proud of having liberated themselves from monarchy. So going back to one could actually delegetimize the emperor and cause unrest. This was why Emperors had to clad themselves in official titles so to accrue enough official legitimacy to act as "kings", but not actually as kings kings. An Emperor is basically a dude who holds the most important offices in the state. He is just another state official bureaucracy-wise.
There’s also the Winchester mortuary chests which contain the bones of Anglo Saxon kings,Queen and bishops and the Norman king William II. Of the 6 that survive one is inscribed with Edmvdus Rex on the lid and on the south presbytery screen in the cathedral is inscribed with “Hic lacet Edmundus Rex Epeldredi Regis fillius” (Here lies King Edmund son of King Ethelred) which leads to confusion of where Edmund Ironside is buried as he was buried in Glastonbury Abbey which is written in the Anglo Saxon chronicle but could now potentially been moved to Winchester at some point after his death in 1016. There is also the fate of the remains of King Stephen who was buried in Faversham Abbey until its Demolition in 1538 and it is said his remains were dumped in Faversham creek but know there are claims that he was re buried in St Mary of Charity alongside his wife Matilda,their is also a plaque within the church that says he is buried nearby but doesn’t give an exact location, there is an unmarked canopied tomb that may now hold the remains of the king
The theory that the pyramids were not tombs stems from the fact that no mummies have ever been found in pyramids. The reasons for this are still debated usually the arguments are that they were moved not long after they died so they wouldn't be robbed or they were more monumental in nature than actual final resting places.
To clarify a few things - The Tablets the Ten Commandments were written on was put in the Ark of the Covenant which while we don’t know where that is, it’s actually likely the Commandments might be in better condition if it’s inside. (Assuming the Ark wasn’t destroyed either) Also people usually think the Bible says Noah was supposed to take all the animals, but it actually says “every kind” which while it’s hard to say explicitly, that sounds more like get a set of each genus or family which drops the number of animals down significantly. (About a couple thousand animals) Also he only needed land animals and birds. Anything that can live in water wasn’t needed. I’m enjoying the video a good bit though!
i learned about roanoke in high school and my teacher who was very into early american history thinks that the people in the settlement were kidnapped by spaniards because spain and england had some conflict during that time but we wont know for sure what really happened
It would have been cool too have more historical mysteries rather than historical misconceptions. A couple of things though. "Roanoke" is pronounced the way you pronounced it minus the "-ay" at the end. "Croatoan" is pronounced the way it's spelled. 15:16 I don't know what's surprising or hard to believe about a religious text making up a kingdom. It wouldn't be the first place that was made up for the sake of story and Abrahamic religions aren't at all unique in that. 17:35 There absolutely have been findings on Oak Island to suggest something is there. A man-made shaft containing incremental wooden platforms was found, at very least. The most compelling theory on Jesus that I've seen is that Jesus was actually an amalgamation of numerous people.
Dude. Why’d you ever wait to do a face reveal? Ya got your suave ass energy amplified by orders of magnitude by doing so, but ya could’ve had that from the start😝
Quick note for those wondering, the Sea People aren’t quite as mysterious as presented in this video. We got a decent idea of what might have driven them there and some of the groups that made them up.
@@Zumi909 I’m no expert, but from my understanding they were pushed by the many food shortages and resource shortages throughout the end of the Bronze Age and this forced multiple groups to become a raiding like force that sought out the rich established empires of the age. There are a lot of good well researched videos on RUclips that can explain it better than me tho.
the pyramids definitely weren't built by slaves! the first pyramid was built during the reign of king djoser and constructed by imhotep in the very very early dynasties of the egyptian kingdom. egypt didn't enslave hebrews until much later, if i'm correct. the builders of the pyramids were farmers and architects of the pharaoh. - a jew studying egyptology (pretty ironic tbh)
Alexander did not conquer any of Greece. His father, Phillip, went to war a few time with other Greeks cities and intimidated them enough to essentially become military leader of all Greeks; Hegemon. This position was hereditary, but the Greeks thought they could ignore Alexander once his father died, which was a big mistake because he destroyed a few cities, but did not conquer. Simply told them to “sit down and stfu while I go to Asia”
29:39 When it comes to Noah's ark, it might have also been the local, but very huge flood And by " Very huge", i mean "going on for hundreds of miles" - In ancient times, the world wasn't THAT discovered, we actually discovered the "entire" world in the last 500-600 years - that's why the period from 15th to 18th century was called "age of discovery" So for the person back then it would feel like it was worldwide.
@@christianderue4375 Watch Inspiring Philosophy's video about epic of gilgamesh- He also provided some sources about this in description of his video... From what i know, there wasn't one "epic of gilgamesh" - that story was rather rewritten/retold through the ages, with slight changes to fit "current times" and "current topics" It was basically like modern Movie franchises/Comic books that have constant reboots/remakes, based on "current times"
Philip conquered Greece, you were right about Sparta being insignificant. It had been since 375 I think after the Battle of Leuctra. The Thebans with its allies absolutely spanked Sparta.
I'm glad you know your Alexandrian history, with a lot of these videos I can see facts, but focusing too long on each story isn't possible, so for a few of them I don't fully understand them if you get me, I'm glad that you can verify things :)
I would like to point out that Indo-European does not necessarily mean white. Like, technically, every culture except those in Africa, the America's, Australia, and some isolated island cultures are descended from Proto Indo European cultures (who were not white)
4:43 more like Alexander had an affinity towards his fellow Greeks and didn’t want to have to shed fellow Greek blood unless it was necessary like at Thebes or with the Mercs he had killed
I dont know if it was ever brought up ever but now that i think about it what if sheba was a mistranslation of shiva and that was the god some foreigners heard of so they may have thought of some large Hindu nation as the kingdom of sheba when it was supposed to be shiva
The pyramids took 100s of years, it wasn't like building a building today. It took life times to build just one, so yes farmers were used, slaves were used, PoWs were used. The used whatever they had to out of necessity
26:16 the modern theory is that the population of Easter island used up all the trees on the island which eventually led to their own downfall because the island was practically derelict when foreigners set foot on the island
false, that theory is old fashioned and not widely held today. The real reason for the downfall of easter island is now thought to be introduced diseases from Europeans, slave raids from the Americas, and being colonized; i.e having their land stolen and being forced onto a tiny corner of the island while the colonizers took the rest for themselves.
@@robokill387 There’s very little evidence of that hypothesis. Even the author of the theory says more research needs to be done to draw any definitive conclusion, and he based his theory on prominent events happening at the time, not actual evidence on the island or surrounding areas. The purpose of his claim was to show that the Rapa Nui had a lot more cooperation towards the end than the missing tree theory would would leave people to believe.

3:17 the pyramids were built by volunteer farmers and citizens mainly due to their culture of Pharaoh worship. If I remember correctly the pharaoh was considered descendants of their Gods. The big question now a day is HOW the Egyptians transported and built the pyramids.

While it can only be speculation since the exact formula is lost to history, it seems likely that Greek fire was made with a base of crude oil and pine resin with sulfur and quicklime mixed in. It would effectively be primitive napalm with the added bonus of water making it significantly worse for anyone unlucky enough to get any on them, and any nation with access to napalm 1270 years before actual napalm was invented would definitely want to keep its formula a secret.
Wow that’s interesting.

Wait, it wasn't common knowledge that King Arthur wasn't real? Seeing that Sir Gawain sat at his table and was fictional, it can be assumed Arthur was fictional too. King Arthur was meant to be a character who common folk could look to for inspiration, like how Sir Gawain was the ideal, pious young man. Source: I studied literature in college.

Bosnian Pyramids do exist though, there are hidden tunnels inside of them with Clay-stuff found inside. They are even said to be older than the egyptian pyramids
It wasn't the library of Alexandria that set us back, it was the sacking of the Hall of Wisdom in Baghdad. The surviving works of the Library of Alexandria was actually moved there. It contained the knowledge of Chinese medicine, Arab astronomy, European agriculture, Egyptian chemistry and sciences, Greek philosophy, Indian math, etc. etc etc. The quote goes that after the razing of Baghdad and sacking of the library, "the Euphrates ran red with blood and the Tigris ran black with ink" after the Mongols threw the books and bodies into the river.
I want discoveries of Arab astronomy because that will lead to the rediscovery of old Arabic/Islamic alchemy/astrology. It is so funny how much of Islamic or Arabic history people don’t know and I say this as a Muslim.

21:20 Robert Wadlow, the tallest person ever recorded, was 8 foot 11 which is just an inch below 9 foot. Possibly Goliath was 9 feet tall and that just don't happen anymore these days.
He was that tall because of a deformity with the pituitary gland, I agree with you but I think what it actually was is he had that deformity and his height was just overblown
@@wirldemistero3397 There is no scientific basis for denying the existence of humans above 7 feet.
Gigantism and Dwarfism are real phenomena and the Ice-age steppes provides a real biological reason to breed/select for size when it comes to people living there alongside mammoths and other megafauna.
Of course many religious/ignorant people don't want anything older than 6000 years old to get properly researched because their whole worldview and sense of security is based on a fixed and cozy timeline of events.
Dwarf people are biased towards a dwarf-only worldview because xenophobia is a universal trait of animals, and all human subspecies are ultimately animals.
@@fredriks5090 yeah I said that people could get that tall I never said anything about there being no people over 7ft
Nah he was more likely around 6'5
@@sauviel6296 Yeah he was, I realize now that there was a transcribing change to make David's defeat seem cooler, but still, big guy
In regards to the Sheba thing, its not super weird that all three of those holy books have that mention, considering the Christian Old Testament is literally just the entirety of the Jewish Bible, and I'm pretty sure in Islam many Jewish holy books are still part of, or inspired pieces of, islamic religious practice, even if not explicitly the word of God, and it's also a descendant of ancient Judaism (i think they have a different timeline of prophets or something, I don't remember the specifics). Since they're all kind of in the same family of religions, it makes sense that they'd all refer to the same place.
As for what it actually is, I'd be willing to bet it's either an alternate name for an existing Kingdom that we do know about, or it is a fictional representation of one of the major kingdoms, kind of like how Revelations has a bunch of parallels to the Roman Empire. It's not uncommon for the same thing to have multiple names within the Bible (god has like 3 or 4 names i think)
Yeah I don't think many people really know about the origins of the 3 Abrahamic religions but essentially Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism and Islam is an offshoot of Christianity which is why the Bible and Quran are almost identical, whats even crazier is how all 3 kinda hated eachother despite believing in the same god just in different translations
I'm not an expert by any means, but I believe Islam considers Jesus to have been an envoy of God and a great prophet, but not a messiah.
As far as I'm aware, despite the common belief that Jesus is the literal Son of God he's actually considered a human manifestation of God himself. Islam doesn't consider Jesus to be a literal part of God but he was one of God's chosen messengers and imbued with some of Gods divine power.
You could also think of the Quran as basically an extra book in the bible. Muslims generally believe that the Quran records the final time that God that ever directly interacted with humanity.
But, again, I'm by no means an expert in any of this I just find Abrahamic religions very interesting.
@@RejectedRecords1998 In Islam Jesus is mentioned by God as Messiah but it is mentioned in Qur'an that he is not son of God and trinity is false.
@@tacoking1333 it's also worth noting that for the longest time they weren't even considered separate religions. Christianity was basically just a sect of Judaism for centuries, rather than a distinct religion
Sheba was likely Ethiopia, Nubia, or Ancient Yemen
We know Goliath's height was changed to be taller. Originally it was just under 8 feet but it depends on how big cubits and spans were. So he more likely was 7 feet tall which still is a giant compared to the average height was like 5'2.
Also the nephilim were just their term and explanation for demigods or the apparent children of humans and gods.
Back then most people believed most gods existed but argued over who's was greater. It's why the first commandment is "Thou shalt have no other gods before me" and not "I am the only god".
Even protojudaism had three main gods El, Asherah, and Baal. Eventually Yahwehism popped up during the iron age and absorbed the other three gods into the same religion. Then they really got confused and started mixing up which god was who. Which lead to believing it was just Yahweh. Which is the birth of Judaism.
I’d like to mention the most important title of a Roman emperor; Augustus for the senior emperor (king) and Caesar for the junior emperor (prince)

I recently had my genealogy done and it turns out I'm a descendent of the lost colony of Roanoke on both my mother and fathers side

@@FoxAkimbo Right?!? It still trips me out. Due to alot of my ancestors being native American I believe the colony eventually joined with the natives

@@FoxAkimbo Maybe one day they'll find that piece of definitive evidence.

Sick.
Imo one of the creepiest and most unsettling historical mysteries is the Sea People of the Mediterranean. Just the idea of people that seemingly came out of nowhere and destroyed and ransacked many nations only to return to the ocean never to be seen again is a weird sense of unsettling eeriness. Not to forget to mention how they essentially left no records of their existence, and all we have to go off of is the personal accounts of multiple nations and civilizations that these people existed.
I can assure you that, here in the US at least, many, many people believe Noah's ark was real.
(not to be one of those ackshually guys hahaha)
I remember reading somewhere that like 49% of Americans or something believe in younger creationism or something similiar.
oh no :(
@@pennyforyourthots Not really. Maybe 49% consider themselves creationists but that's something of a broad and ineffective term. For instance, Catholics believe in both the big bang and evolution. They believe that humans evolved naturally but were endowed with soul by God. Technically they would be considered Creationists but if you can't see the stark difference between that belief system and people that think the Earth is 6000 years old and that Humans always existed in our current form then something is wrong..
That's why the term creationist isn't particularly useful in my opinion.
Though I'm not sure what that poll you read was about. Young Earth creationists make up a fairly small percentage of religious people, they just tend to have the loudest voice.
Thank Joe Rogan and The Magicians of the Gods 🤭
The origins of Tataria is so wild though, like this name was used for so long by so many nations, those known by different names now, but those who actually call themselves Tatars today? No clue where they are from. Many ancient civilizations are known for mysteriously disappearing, but this one is known for mysteriously APPEARING. And this was like 600 years ago, but everyone was too distracted by the Mongol invasion to notice that.
Not sure if someone has made a commented on this but the Romans genocided the Celts out of mainland Europe. It's why they only really existed in present day England after the fall of the Romans.

You've never heard of the pit with all the wooden platforms on Oak Island? It certainly suggests something is there.
Also the colony probably just went and moved in with a Native tribe, and some may have went off and tried to establish a new colony on that island.

yeah the pyramids werent slave labor, but the labor of craftsman who passed the knowledge on to their kin for eons.
The pyramids were built by capitalists and the low-class tribes were communists that revolted against their "oppressors".

Roman emperors we’re also called Caesars (kai-sars) because of you know who.

Were any called zimminus zamminus?
Caesar was more like a title . The one we call Julius Caesar was in fact called Caius Julius Caesar , Julius being his family name .
It was a title, yeah, used even way after the time of the Romans. Think the term “Kaiser”, which effectively became the Germanic term for the word “emperor”, and “Tsar” - its equivalent in Russian/Slavic languages.

Not religious or anything but hear me out! Not saying if Noah’s Ark is real or not, but 2 of “every” animal could happen back then. What I mean is that Noah would probably base his idea on what “every animal on earth” would be because he’s only seen a few. Goes with the saying “You don’t know, what you don’t know” but how hilarious would it be if he only had 15 pairs of animals and was ready to go
25:40 they're most likely Taino if not some sort of sea fairing Natives around the Americas. There were many.
If David and Goliath did exist, then the battle wasn't as much the small guy beating the odds and taking down a giant, and more like a sniper taking out an unarmed target.

None of what you said was what the Roman's would have called an emperor. Consol is an elected position from the republic closer to a president. Pontifex maximus was the highest religious position. The first emperor of rome was Caesars adopted son and his soldiers declared him to be "Augustus"
Your logical and rational thinking makes you extra sure that some things are not true. But some things deny logic and ration. Not that they’re true, but it’s important to remember that what we don’t know, we simply don’t know.
My idea of Noah’s Ark is that Noah was a barge man and a flood season was coming in, so the two of every animal was two of every animal in his immediate area because the world was a lot smaller in the perspective of people back then. So he put them on his barge and the flood only hit his immediate area and once the flood waters receded, he released the animals thinking he was repopulating the world.
A flamethrower that ignites with water? That's easy, they used sodium.
Sodium doesn't occur in nature as the free metal though; it must be isolated from salts through electrolysis, which did not exist at the time.

I read a book on pope Joan. She wasn't 9 months pregnant when she gave birth. She was 4 months pregnant and bled out while miscarrying at a parade of some sort, so she was literally out in the open.

You are somewhat wrong with the Roman Emperors title thing. The Roman Emperors actually clad themselves in official roles and honorific titles like; Pontifex Maximus - religious leader and Consul - military and political head. I don't remember what imperator stands for, but note that these titles and roles enables the wearer/politican to do specific things within the bureaucracy. And this is important because Roman's generally did not like kings, they were actually proud of having liberated themselves from monarchy. So going back to one could actually delegetimize the emperor and cause unrest. This was why Emperors had to clad themselves in official titles so to accrue enough official legitimacy to act as "kings", but not actually as kings kings. An Emperor is basically a dude who holds the most important offices in the state. He is just another state official bureaucracy-wise.

There’s also the Winchester mortuary chests which contain the bones of Anglo Saxon kings,Queen and bishops and the Norman king William II. Of the 6 that survive one is inscribed with Edmvdus Rex on the lid and on the south presbytery screen in the cathedral is inscribed with “Hic lacet Edmundus Rex Epeldredi Regis fillius” (Here lies King Edmund son of King Ethelred) which leads to confusion of where Edmund Ironside is buried as he was buried in Glastonbury Abbey which is written in the Anglo Saxon chronicle but could now potentially been moved to Winchester at some point after his death in 1016. There is also the fate of the remains of King Stephen who was buried in Faversham Abbey until its Demolition in 1538 and it is said his remains were dumped in Faversham creek but know there are claims that he was re buried in St Mary of Charity alongside his wife Matilda,their is also a plaque within the church that says he is buried nearby but doesn’t give an exact location, there is an unmarked canopied tomb that may now hold the remains of the king
Sorry for the long winded comment
The theory that the pyramids were not tombs stems from the fact that no mummies have ever been found in pyramids. The reasons for this are still debated usually the arguments are that they were moved not long after they died so they wouldn't be robbed or they were more monumental in nature than actual final resting places.
To clarify a few things - The Tablets the Ten Commandments were written on was put in the Ark of the Covenant which while we don’t know where that is, it’s actually likely the Commandments might be in better condition if it’s inside. (Assuming the Ark wasn’t destroyed either)
Also people usually think the Bible says Noah was supposed to take all the animals, but it actually says “every kind” which while it’s hard to say explicitly, that sounds more like get a set of each genus or family which drops the number of animals down significantly. (About a couple thousand animals) Also he only needed land animals and birds. Anything that can live in water wasn’t needed.
I’m enjoying the video a good bit though!

15:16 I don't know what's surprising or hard to believe about a religious text making up a kingdom. It wouldn't be the first place that was made up for the sake of story and Abrahamic religions aren't at all unique in that.
17:35 There absolutely have been findings on Oak Island to suggest something is there. A man-made shaft containing incremental wooden platforms was found, at very least.

the pyramids definitely weren't built by slaves! the first pyramid was built during the reign of king djoser and constructed by imhotep in the very very early dynasties of the egyptian kingdom. egypt didn't enslave hebrews until much later, if i'm correct. the builders of the pyramids were farmers and architects of the pharaoh. - a jew studying egyptology (pretty ironic tbh)
Alexander did not conquer any of Greece. His father, Phillip, went to war a few time with other Greeks cities and intimidated them enough to essentially become military leader of all Greeks; Hegemon. This position was hereditary, but the Greeks thought they could ignore Alexander once his father died, which was a big mistake because he destroyed a few cities, but did not conquer. Simply told them to “sit down and stfu while I go to Asia”

29:39 When it comes to Noah's ark, it might have also been the local, but very huge flood
And by " Very huge", i mean "going on for hundreds of miles" - In ancient times, the world wasn't THAT discovered, we actually discovered the "entire" world in the last 500-600 years - that's why the period from 15th to 18th century was called "age of discovery"
So for the person back then it would feel like it was worldwide.
A great flood was written about in the legend of gilgamesh long before it was in the Bible so one likely did happen at some point for sure.
@@christianderue4375 Watch Inspiring Philosophy's video about epic of gilgamesh- He also provided some sources about this in description of his video...
From what i know, there wasn't one "epic of gilgamesh" - that story was rather rewritten/retold through the ages, with slight changes to fit "current times" and "current topics"
It was basically like modern Movie franchises/Comic books that have constant reboots/remakes, based on "current times"
Even though the story of Noah is fiction, there was most likely a flood around that time period. Since many religions have a flood story

The reason why the elephants got rekt was because both sides served under Alexander and they fought elephants in India.
Philip conquered Greece, you were right about Sparta being insignificant. It had been since 375 I think after the Battle of Leuctra. The Thebans with its allies absolutely spanked Sparta.

26:16 the modern theory is that the population of Easter island used up all the trees on the island which eventually led to their own downfall because the island was practically derelict when foreigners set foot on the island
false, that theory is old fashioned and not widely held today. The real reason for the downfall of easter island is now thought to be introduced diseases from Europeans, slave raids from the Americas, and being colonized; i.e having their land stolen and being forced onto a tiny corner of the island while the colonizers took the rest for themselves.
@@robokill387
There’s very little evidence of that hypothesis. Even the author of the theory says more research needs to be done to draw any definitive conclusion, and he based his theory on prominent events happening at the time, not actual evidence on the island or surrounding areas. The purpose of his claim was to show that the Rapa Nui had a lot more cooperation towards the end than the missing tree theory would would leave people to believe.
