You have good material. You should do narration type videos with you as background voice.
Thank you sir, I appreciate your feedback and I’m glad you enjoy it, I will think about some more narration type content I can do next time around 🤙🏼🙏💯
Great video. I always enjoy learning about the wild activities of ancient Rome. :)
Glad you enjoyed it! Ancient Rome was wild, right? 😄
I liked your video and narration! I would like to mention, however, that even much earlier than ancient Rome, in ancient Greece, Dionysos had two names (Dionysos or Bacchus) and he was the son of Dias (Zeus). Thats why the name is Dionysos (son of Dias). And to his honor, the great ancient Greek poet and tragedian Euripides wrote the amazing tragedy "Bacchae" in 407 BC.
4:11 what is the name of this painting??
The satyricon
Where is the woman on the thumbnail from?
Fantasyland
Bacchus was dark , angry using inebriants to release the base desires this is not like Dionysis who was a merry maker liked wine and good cheer the two Gods were indeed very different The sculptural representation of the two Gods show Baccus as lecherous Dionysus holding a baby.
Thanks for sharing your insight and the distinction between them. 🙏
I’m interested to know where or how did you come across that?
The first hippies ❤
That’s a very cool way of thinking of it ☮️✌🏻🕊️
No nambla!
Imagine old romans getting drunk till they died of liver or sth - n thank Bachus 4 that (newly i know Alcohol s no good for health... yeah grapejuice yeah, but not with alcohol, c'mon.. lol
Those old Romans really knew how to party, didn't they? Bacchus would be proud! lol
For some reason I don't feel that comparing that movement to the hippie movement is a good comparison.
I can't really imagine that government becoming afraid of the hippie movement and going out and slaughtering them in cold blood $7,000 of them that's wow.
I feel if anything it does highlight fears and insecurities and people in power don't like to be challenged... It is all very interesting but you're definitely reaching for comparisons when you sumise a comparison to the hippies so that leads me to believe that you're kind of just throwing in your own shit here and there.
Nice to see a little critical thought, as opposed to the usual banalities, & the cheering on of chaos on this topic in particular..
That is real metal
Instead of summarising bad orientalist points and exaggerated myths from wikipedia, actually read books and invite people on who know more than you because at this point, your channel is basically parody.
What exactly are the exaggerated myths you’re talking about? Can you be more specific? And I would definitely want to invite people on who are specialists in the future, great suggestion, thanks for that
@@HistoryLeaks Since I can't specifically find anything good, I can't point to anything specific that's bad. Go and review your work and stop making shit up. Specialists won't come on either, they don't associate with idiots.
@@michealbadman6411 No need to be an ass-hole, especially since you can't back up your own claims.
It is a real shame all of the life celebrating culture of our pagan heritage got destroyed by Christianity and its life oppressing madness. We must return
Honestly Jesus also told people to drink, party and love each other. He even tells the apostles that next time they drink wine and party it will be in heaven, confirming god has his own personal vineyard.
But hey it's ok the romans ruined their own religion way before the christians ever came into the picture, saying there was only one god and he was called Sol Invictus, which was apollo reincarnated in the body of the emperror Aurellian with his birthday being comemorated on the 25th of december a date that was later defined to be the birthday of christ.
If you ever read the bible there is nothing talking against enjoying life or for obeying the state, only that you should pursue redemption from your sins, defined as being an asshole to others and love god, being the god of mercy, love and the holy father above all things, also be kind to sex workers, don't be a sell out, act when you see someone in need, pay your taxes, help children out, and don't cheat on your partner try to sort things out and have a divorce instead unless they cheated on you then consider yourself divorced.
Never once does Christ ever say don't enjoy life, in fact his first miracle was turning water into wine at a party, and his last was coming back from death to tell people not to worry too much about their issues on earth.
Honestly Christianity in its early days consisted of hosting hidden parties with wine and bread on basements, it's only after the state after years of executing and torturing christians created a roman state controlled council of religion that we started having the Catholic Apostolic Roman church as we know it.
These values of abstinence, temperance and obedience to authority are all roman values that were shoved in trough the scattered pieces of the old testament the Romans decided to adopt to better serve the interests of the roman elites.
A statement born of ignorance & the trending hivemind.
