    1:21:35 You were completely right, you predicted Cannae perfectly. The look of excitement on you guys' faces was awesome. Just goes to show that all these years later, over 2,000 years, Hannibal's genius still hits hard when you recognize it. Great reaction.

      @@Werollwithbestplus To put the battle of Cannae in perspective, imagine if today, the US military lost 33 million soldiers, dozens of congressmen, and the president all in one battle. There were even accounts of roman soldiers being killed in the battle of Cannae, and were so tightly packed that they were still standing up, even though they were dead. Also, the Apinnies are hardly the Alps. Not hard enough to traverse to cause a meaningful increase in an army's attrition or desertion rates.

Let's say someone shoots up a school because they were constantly bullied, made fun of, and messed with to their breaking point. I can understand why they shot up the school, but I completely disagree with their actions because even though their life was constant suffering that doesn't justify hurting innocent people.

With this in mind, 1 talent of silver (1200 ounces or 1093.75 troy ounces) is currently worth around $24,370 USD (1093.75 x 22.28 USD/troy ounce). So, 4400 talents are about $107,228,000 USD.

What the video does not tell you is when Rome attacks they attack on Saturday. Gods holy day. So if Israelites defend or attack on the Sabbath the Curse on them activates an they loose or die.
    So throughout the video. Watch when Rome attacks. They attack at specific times. Hannibal waits a day like Sunday THEN attacks.

It was already easy to die and you would only live like 40 years max on average, so the rule was: If you dont know what it is, its probably bad for you. And the native tribes of Europe fought each other as well. Rome just was stronger, so it was more of a threat.

      Strange considering he wasn't black himself, anyway Rome destroyed him in the end and won all the punic wars, before and after Hannibal.

    Romans are the basic of modern western values and civilization, all american continent countrys to most europeans country (russia included ) have romans influent in their coltures. So hating the romans for what they did more than 2000 years ago is illogic for me , like only 200 years ago from napoleon we started to think ( and not in all countrys ) we are all humans on this planet. For most of history if you were diferent ( not only skin colour even just have a diferent religion , languege or diferent accent was enoght to start a war ) like 120 years ago in europe existed child labour in mines. ( and with child, i mean 10 years old girls and boys , just like in 2023 africa because yes in the most poor country like in the African continent still today exist child labor ) just to explain how even in the most rich continent 120 years ago thinks that today in most rich country we consider inumane was pretty normal.

      yeah, everything must be put into that time's context, especially morality. If we look at it with the modern lens there's absolutely no one in history that we would consider to be a good person
