    The fact that the guy who goes alone with a potential serial killer in a back room somewhere in the middle of nowhere thinks thinks he will live longer than shwabadi is just hilarious.🤣

    While Cleopatra wasn't Egyptian, but Greek/Iranian, she was the first of her dynasty to actually learn to speak the language of egyptians at the time. Also I love to hear more history.

    I never was very interested in history, but Rustages delivery made me genuinely interested and I ended up reading about various kings and warfare strategies for 3 hours.

    Fun fact William the Conqueror was actually a distant cousin of Edward the Confessor but when he died without any heirs a regency council appointed Harald Godwinson who was the last Anglo Saxon king as they didnt want William who was a Norman to be king. And also William only invaded and was even blessed by right of the Pope to basically conquer England by right

    I just love the over the top titles that Near Eastern monarchs had, especially Assyrian kings
    "King of the Universe"
    "The weapon of the great gods"
    "The great flood which none can oppose"

    (Count Dracul The Third Vladimir Tepish.) Aka the man who (Brands Stoker) would eventually use as inspiration for Dracula. Another cool thing about Brandon stoker was he was a part of the famous cult the Golden Dawn which is also a guild in black clover

    The Indian subcontinent has a lot of cool and legendary kings and rulers. If you want to mention them. Vikramadetya , Rani of Jhansi, Ashoka the Great, Tipu Sultan, Akbar the Great, Jahangir so and so on. And this is without mentioning the various legends we have in hinduism of mighty rulers. Even if this doesnt see the light of the day, it is such awesome to hear your favourite music artists be so passionate about something i am also fascinated by

    Not a king but one Age of history I’m really interested in is the Golden Age of Islam. There are so many things we still use today from that age and the architecture, language and science developments were incredible. One thing we still use today for instance is words like Alcohol or Alchemy. The “Al” in those words are Arabic.

    Growing up in Hawaii and going to a Hawaiian school has taught me a lot about King Kamehameha the Great. He was born on the night that Halleys comet passed over the earth in the 1700s. His mother named him Pai'ea, or hard-shelled crab, after dropping him on his head. He was prophesied to conquer and unite all of the islands, but his uncle 'Alapa'inui didn't want that to happen. Because of this, his mother instructed Nae'ole to take him and run far away, in fear of 'Alapa'inui coming to kill him. Years after this, Nae'ole raised young Pai'ea for a good chunk of his life, teaching him basic skills, like fishing. He was given the name Kamehameha, or the Lonly one, by Alapainui. He was then trained by Kekuhaupi'o, who taught him how to become a warrior. He went on to overturn the Naha stone, a 2.5 ton stone, which whoever lifts it would conquer all the islands. Then, Captain Cook shows up with his ships, who we think is Lono with his Floating Islands, makes them give him a lot of food and women for tiny amounts of metal like nails, which we didn't have back then. A lot of people thought they ate Cook, but that is because when they killed him for shooting a chiefs son, they burnt him in an imu, which was associated with cooking. We did this to get his bones, a common practice, which held mana, or power, within them. Now, Kamehameha, the 7 foot 2.5 ton lifting man who can make your girl his 31st wife in an instant won his battles fair and square, Is what we were taught. But while the opposing team was sharpening his spears, his men were loading their guns. Imagine being a warrior against Kamehameha, who has no idea what a gun or a cannon is. All you hear is a log screaming and now your friend has been smited by the gods. Smited? Smitten? Smote? I don't know. He also used the tactic of having your men at the top of a mountain, so when your enemies come up, they will already be tired. He proceeded to then push them off of the mountain. He has a pretty interesting story. Also, no one knows where his bones are hidden, because he ordered the people who hid them to kill themselves immediately after

    Thanks for another amazing episode.
    Just wanted to say that u should look into the India/pakistan region empires like the Maurya empire, the Mughals and the Gupta empire if u haven’t they r really interesting and Asoka is my personal favourite emperor and the story of him becoming a Buddhist after the Kalinga war is incredibly fascinating.
    Also a fun fact the language Tamil which is still very prominent in south in India is older than Sanskrit which is considered amongst one of the first languages

    The Russian Tsars, specifically Ivan the 3rd "the Great" and his son Ivan the 4th "the terrible" two very contrasting rulers. Ivan the great was the girst russian monarch to turn russia into an empire and swapped the title of russian monarch iver from grand prince to tsar and then his son, very terrible human being, was the girst ruler crowned tsar of the russian empire. Both very interesting historical figures. Same for the last tsar of russia nicholas the 2nd.

    Okey so hear me out. Polish kings, to be exact the ones from "Piast" dynasty and from "Jagielon" dynasty because later on there are so shenanigans with polish noblemen chosing the king and after his death they just chose another one. But returning to dynasties in the second one there is a female king (from what i remember she was a daughter of a king without male Descendants but for some reason everyone just decided to make her the new king). The history of founding poland is also interesting. Prince Mieszko I did it (he wasn't a king but his son became one in the year he died). Tying in to the empires vanishing it kind of happened to poland. It was one of the most influencial countries in Europe but diseapered for 123 years after Prussia (Germany), Russia and Austria ganged up on it
