It pains me to see so many empty seats in front of him. This walking encyclopedia/funny guy deserves full lecture halls where students fight for a seat and the back is packed with students who didn't show up an hour before lecture to capture a seat, and now have to stand through a 2 hour lecture, but they don't mind, because his captivating lecture makes those 2 hours feel like they were too short
you are kidding right? those are empty by design. it's to have him filmed not his students. one of the reasons being they might not be on board with being filmed. so they are pushed rows to the back and out of the frame.
@@LobotimirMerkanski he has other video's with different camera angles, and the audience is really disappointing. A couple dozen at the most. At least he gets a good audience on youtube
Thanks God TikTok made me discover Prof Roy before they ban the app. First 30 seconds I watched on TikTok I immediately knew the guy is phenomenal. SINCE that’s the only thing I watch on RUclips every day.
This lecture is a breath of fresh air. When you mention in an aside about how the US school system getting people to make assertions about things they're generally uninformed about it blew my mind.
You're a brilliant academic. Well done! I am a keen historian and you are opening rabbit holes for me to go down. Really interesting and educational. Your students are very lucky to have you. Thanks Adeel. Manchester,UK.
I stumbled on one of his lectures at the Austin School. I'm a regular listener and big fan of both. For all its fault, thank goodness for the internet and RUclips.
The only one that can keep me focused for hours listening to history. I have become addicted to your videos. Please keep making videos professor! Mad respect
I'm homeschooling my 7th grader next yr. He knows more abt history than I...I'm looking for ppl like this for the history/social sciences portion. It's amazing what the US education system tries to keep out of the curriculum and the things they manage to indoctrinate without us even knowing. I've had to unlearn some things myself
I will listen to him talk about history and all. He has tons of knowledge and an incredible story teller. I learned so much just from this one video, and will learn so much more with more of his lectures.
This might seem like a small mistake but for a Poli Scientist I’m kind of shocked. The city of Flint MI did not choose to switch to the other river to save money (neither did the people of Flint vote for the politicians that cut OTHER peoples’ taxes) - it was the Republican governor - appointed “emergency manager” who’s job it was to make cuts to save money. That little detail really kind of changes the point of that anecdote, doesn’t it?
People's attention span has decreased to a level that makes it impossible for some to listen to an intellectually challenging lecture for almost 2 hours
Extremely interesting lecture, thank you. I read somewhere that since Ancient Greece the civilisations that came the closest to true democracy were the North American Natives, I wonder how they were with regard to sexism.
Lovely talk. A bit confusing since the first 50 minutes or so are stuff from previous lectures that don't do that much service to the title. Other than that, I think ancient civilizations in general were not wholly that exaggeratedly good. One should be careful not to fall into cherry picking.
Prof. Casagranda-- Re: The dark ages, any thoughts on the Younger Dryas impact theory and subsequently suspected extra-terrestrial impacts that align with major shifts in civilization? Namely relevant is that the dark ages align perfectly with a 600 meter meteor impact that created the Gulf of Carpentaria in Australia estimated around AD 450-500. The theory is that the massive shower of material and water literally made the dark ages dark with clouds and rain. The fire in the sky and creeping return of a mini-ice age has significant parallels to pagan beliefs that surpassed the church in popularity at that time. Interested to hear your thoughts.
It shows most people don't want the truth that is the seat is empty. As they say truth hurts. Lies makes them feel warm and fuzzy feeling inside. This video will stay when we are long gone Views will be much much more
He’s great. I always learn so much. I’m guessing he may feel threatening to those who want to ban books on sexual minorities and race in schools and colleges.
That’s a false narrative. Nobody wants to ban books in colleges high schools or even middle school schools. Those people that you’re talking about simply want to limit pornography and sexual material for kids K -2nd grade. on the other hand, the Democrats were in favor of censorship of doctors and scientist who spoke out against the Covid narrative
@@brianp1230 nobody’s trying to ban books on sexual minorities and race in schools. That’s a false narrative. I’m a teacher and the books that are trying to be banned are sexually inappropriate books for 1st graders. In fact, the Democrats are actually the party of censorship who worked with big tech companies to censor doctors and scientist off the Internet who opposed to Covid narrative.
It’s amazing how passionate this guy is and how interesting and captivating his speech can be. Having said that it’s astonishing how many things he got wrong.
My friend attended a Swedish college that was prejudiced. The preschool program was run by a woman who was authoritarian and aggressive towards her, making her feel unsupported and helpless. She attempted to ruin her future by making her take a difficult test on the teaching profession and threatening to expel her if she failed. During her internship, the woman set her up with a bad and prejudiced manager, refusing to hear her complaints and taking the manager's side. This treatment of students is inhumane and goes against the fundamental goal of education, which is to support personal development and potential realization. Universities must address this problem and foster an environment that is welcoming to all students.
Curious about Eros, filos, and agape and the ancient Greeks belief on which sex can give what kind of love, and how this lines up with modern day divorce rates.

Great lecture! Love your lectures. But this lecture showed me how much of a liberal, or left swinging you are. For instance, i dont agree with your opinion that those accused of sexual assault should be fired from schools at 1:51:48. I believe in innocent until proven guilty. Why should they be fired if not convicted. Alot of women lie about rape accusations
Just to play devil's advocate, if the course is on western civ. isn't it appropriate to spend more time on Greece and Rome than on non-western civilizations? I think his argument would be more appropriate for a world history survey.
OK let me try asking this question another way. Suppose that you had a course on the history of Spain. Would it really be appropriate to discuss only its cultural sources and antecedents, but not Spain itself? What if you were teaching a history of France but spent very little time talking about France? If you have a course on Western civ shouldn’t you discuss Greece and Rome?
@@arlieferguson3990 of course we should, the problem is we focus heavily on Greece and Rome and discount civilizations that set them up, almost as if those are the superior nations self-achived and autonomous and thier success somehow came out of a vacuum by itself. We unfortunately have a superiority complex and discount the other non-European empires and civilizations that had a pivotal role and impact in the progess of the world
There are many accounts of women dominating over men, Radhe-Krishna, the woman comes first before the man, there are many Egyptian examples. Yet Romans never defined the human nature of man and woman, but held in high esteem their homosexual habit. When Philippine became Christian, Duterte termed the Pope as a bastard. Roman values were uncivilized.

The most underrated lecturer
Your stuff is amazing dude! Why not take it to the next level, and just start recording a semester of in-depth lecures? I wanna go to your class!
Yeah me too
Agreed
plus one!
Me too!
Add me in

Another amazing lecture by an amazing lecturer. You have taught me so much. Thank you.
“They are just historians why would they get anything right… They’re just reading the literature..” genius!
“Unholy German Confederacy…” , “we’re all equally worthless…” the gems keep falling!
I love these lectures from France🇫🇷
Roy is in a ultimate level ❤
Better than the history channel .Keep it up .
History channel is so biased.
@@sheryn61 agreed
History channel be like “we can’t simply give any glory or credit those damn middle easterners” “let’s just say it was the aliens lol”
That’s a low bar there….
Thanks Roy and The Austin School
May you live long and prosper
This might be the only video with him where the comments are active...
I am so addicted to your lectures! I listen to them at work all the time!!!!
He’s a little too self effacing. Don’t have your kids adopted!
Please also focus on your work occasionally
This should have 100,000 views if not a million
I stumbled on one of his lectures at the Austin School. I'm a regular listener and big fan of both. For all its fault, thank goodness for the internet and RUclips.
He makes many amazing layered jokes and no one ever laughs like wtf
It is always enlightening to listen to your lecturers Dr. Roy. You are a blessing to this generation.
Man I could listen Roy all day long . Thank you for the clear history...
The only one that can keep me focused for hours listening to history. I have become addicted to your videos. Please keep making videos professor! Mad respect
Same with me man. I watched already more than 10 lectures. His destruction of subjects is amusing and amazing.
I love Roy Casagranda . I love those whom he loves and those who love him . I pray that ALLAH declares HIS love for him , ameen .
"This is brought to you by the department of redundancy department ". I almost fell off the chair🤣🤣🤣
2 hours long video...no problem I watch, if I don't finish it guess what I will watch later. Such pleasure listening to Dr Casagranda.
He is the best historian
Ever listen on RUclips

'If England can do it, anyone can do it' - such a burn!
I would give anything to see this guy talk in person
I love this guy! So good!
Bro I love your diction and humor keep it real!
A real academic, what an amazing oracle of knowledge, if the world could unite and built a new "Library of Alexandra" he should run it.
Always delighted to share your buried history to power lectures!

Your lectures brings a smile to my face 😮😊
He is a great teacher!
God Bless you Dr Roy!
I need this lectures on Spotify
Can we measure how much the good professor walks during each talk?
you are the absolute best!
I love The Dude’s lectures…
The word “history” is from the French word “histoire”, which is translated as “story” in English.
Mad respect 🫡 ✊
why are your lecture theatres not full! what a great thinker
People's attention span has decreased to a level that makes it impossible for some to listen to an intellectually challenging lecture for almost 2 hours
love that like every lecture of yours 🤩
5 years later I am present in this class
Well done 👍🏾 Lecture well worth listening to.
Odovacar was not a German. He was the son of a Hunnic General Edeko and a woman of a Germanic tribe.
He needs his own podcast
Im down with a 32 h lecture (series? ) On modernity :). Do it. Doooo iiiit!
In a parallel universe the Dude is an accomplished academic.
Brilliant lecture 👏 👌
Thanks!
I wish he was my professor in college.
What made Cleopatra such a known part of history as opposed to the other women that were left out.
Good question

Talk about perspective.
amazing. thank you!
I'll be honest... This lecture actually shocked me, our education system (where I live, not US) is quite good, but they got all of this wrong...
I love how he calls palestine palestine and not the israeli oppressors and settlers
I love how he uses the roman name for the province instead of the actual name its people used at the time: Iudea
Keep the vids coming please !
Is the Herodotus he mentions around 1:01:00 the Herodotus of Halicarnassus that wrote "The Histories"?
Question answered at 1:15:30

Actually the Turks kept calling the Greeks "Romios" up until they left. You still hear it in Greece. It has a deep connotation of true greek identity!
