2:10 So fun fact one of humanity's first instincts when encountering a species we've never seen before is to try to eat it. This partially explains why early man didn't live so long.
Average ancient lifespans are skewed by the rampant child mortality. If you made it to five, you had a pretty good chance of making it to 70. And being omnivores, of course we're going to try to eat new things. Particularly before agriculture took off, having more sources of calories was vital.
13:22 You have to look at the time period, at that time plate armor was getting thicker and covering more of the body. A sword or spear can't go through or cut plate limiting them to weak points, however, a blunt weapon doesn't have that restriction due to the impact it causes. That impact was strong enough to break bones under the armor and would likely recoil off of the plate. Thus making it very powerful at the time. Not only that one of those spiked ones would be way more intimidating than a spear with the power to match. Also if a infantry unit it getting charged by cavalry they need to brace. Theres a video somewhere on the internet of a guy on a horse just plowing straight throw like 5-6 guys in full plate (They were fine). Now imagine that with a bunch of horses with killing intent. Thank you for reading my ted talk.
7:08, I think the joke is that having a cough is like a lamp with a flickering bulb. And Heroine and Morphine are the cough suppressant equivalent of tripping the circuit breaker instead of replacing the bulb.
Absolutely not, based on the fact that the rulers of said country sold/gifted a lot to the British, not to mention many countries are actively at war/unstable or don't have the right conditions to protect/look after historical artifacts. Let's say some artifacts are sold to Britain by a ruler, now the country wants them back, would the US give the land back to France that Napoleon sold, that is how ridiculous this whole debate is.
Bec de corbin is a type of pole arm and one of the deadliest and versatile non-gun powder hand held weapons of all time. It is a no brainer Bec de corbin all the way.
I was a U.S.S.R teenager lol oh how times have changed If you havent heard of Unit 731, check it out at your discretion. I stan the Bec de Corbin. Shadiversity and Skallgarim sold me on its battlefield effectiveness.
Surely we have an example of the "Im paying you" filter, someome who decided not to pay before it was finished and they finished it anyways, ugly or accurate. And surely we have pre-modern mudslinging/propaganda in painting form.
10:11 I've heard that the connection between Ring Around the Rosie and the Black Death is not actually a thing. For starters, the earliest versions of the poem that we've found were written centuries after the plague. And on top of that, the Ashes, Ashes line would not make sense because for centuries the Church outlawed cremation of the dead, because burning the body meant that the soul could not be resurrected during the Second Coming. Third, the idea that the poem was a reference to the Black Death appears to have its origin in a book called The Plague and the Fire, which was written in 1961.
I knew a guy who chose a different path actually, he got into the Mongol empire instead. I only became interested in Rome to observe how close we are coming to the fall, and Im trying to learn more about Chinese empires.
can't say I've ever been "obsessed" with the USSR, but I have had a bit of a lifelong admiration for their design philosophy of no-nonsense, no-frills, function-over-form pragmatism. The US and especially Germany would over-engineer the crap out of their stuff and it would catastrophically fail when put outside their test parameters. Meanwhile soviet equipment could easily outlive its (already hardy af) operators. as an example one of the space shuttles blew up because an o-ring got a little chilly (the US usually launches out of Texas or Florida btw), the Vostok line could reliably launch in a blizzard. I do know that the west's designs prioritized things that the Soviet's didn't such as creature comforts, efficiency, and peak power; and the "space pens" (which they contracted a completed design from a private firm, they didn't research themselves) did have the benefit of avoiding pencil dust in microgravity (and iirc the soviets eventually used as well). But I still think that their focus on making stuff that works, works well, and works in many conditions is something modern engineers could take inspiration of
Some good stuff, thanks! Ring a ring a roses, a pocket full of posies, atishoo atishoo, we all fall down. Slightly different version in the UK. It's something that's suspected to be linked with the 14th C plague rather than the 17th C, but wasn't written down before the late 19th C. Maybe, but can't tell, it's a "nice" story though which is often enough. Edit. "Wasn't written down." Earliest written record!
if you want to make a horror movie that would really terrify the audience, just make a movie about unit 731 and write based on real events in the beginning
As an artist I can vouch that if were paid we are not risking our career for adding pimples to our buyer. Especially if it’s a noble or modern day influencer.
Missed joke chance when you said we don't like change, THAT IS BECAUSE WE PREFER DOLLARS! around 14:30. You have done enough fat electrician ones now you should have had that one. Keep it up.
I think the blunt weapons were mostly meant to scare unarmed civilians. You look at them and you instinctively know you do not want to get hit by that. And if you are not a soldier you're not gonna think about how inefficient they are.
I don’t think the British should give back the artefacts just purely on the fact that they persevered these cultures where if they left them they might of been forgotten about and lost and they’ve only been asking them back recently

5:50 - it's also easier to paint clear skin than acne.
"DAMMIT! I HAVE SPENT FIVE HOURS ON THIS PINPLE AND IT STILL DOESN'T LOOK RIGHT!"

Remember, the last line of ring around the rosie is "we all fall down" because plague kills
Should the British museum be required to give back artifacts if the country of origin requests them?
I would lean to no -
Since them being taken is now history too
No. Most of them can’t care for them
Absolutely not, based on the fact that the rulers of said country sold/gifted a lot to the British, not to mention many countries are actively at war/unstable or don't have the right conditions to protect/look after historical artifacts.
Let's say some artifacts are sold to Britain by a ruler, now the country wants them back, would the US give the land back to France that Napoleon sold, that is how ridiculous this whole debate is.
The statute of limitations is done.
No
When I heard about painters making the commissioners look good in the painting, the first thing I thought of was the Habsburg paintings.
If that’s an artist’s best attempt to make them look good, then what did they actually look like lol
@@_EllieLOL_ Exactly

Yes . If my opponent brings a bec I'm leaving

Hey there Mr. Terry! I've been watching your videos for a while and I just found out today that my Dad does too!
Keep up the great work!
11:36 never been either. I was always an Ancient Greece guy. Still am. I love that country 😊
5:03. Proves the point I’ve made many times. Prussia was amazing

The meme of the thumbnail forgot one of the best options: The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth!
A note of flails: They were very useful for getting around shields. Flexible weapons are scary. Both to use and be attacked with.
I knew a guy who chose a different path actually, he got into the Mongol empire instead. I only became interested in Rome to observe how close we are coming to the fall, and Im trying to learn more about Chinese empires.
I have never seen someone be obsessed with the UDSSR.
As a retired history prof., I tip my hat to you, SIR!
I once started a communist state in a Roman RP minecraft server so not so far off.

Edit. "Wasn't written down." Earliest written record!
I didn't really prefer Rome or the USSR. I always preferred the Ethiopian Empire or Pahlavi Iran.
I personally like the Incan Empire.
The Rome obsession never clicked with me. I could argue Hastings and Thermopylae with the best however
I came back from the "Rome-thing", when I realized that it's history was based on killing your brother and stealing your neighbours women... 😂
2:42 also Whoopi tooooo
5:39 except Olly Cromwell... warts and all.
We still use the imperial system in Britain, quite a lot. Also some of our imperial measurements are different than American ones.

i was always firmly an ancient Egyptian dood
03:20 We hanged witches, we didn't burn them. We're not barbarians.
0:21 I might be crazy but I think the quote the photo is actually from an old critikal video
04:20 (nice)
Everyone knows Louis XIV was the Sun King. I guess this makes Louis XVI the Moon King.
Ever hear of people feeling nostalgic about an aspect of everyday life that went out of fashion before they were even born?
2 eugenics reference in one video is wild.
Edit: make it 3, only one on purpose
Ring around the rosie originates from the plague of 1665.
"You breed the tall ones" I mean, kinda

I’m both
I never left the USSR thing... Not that I'm a supporter, it just seems like a complete phenomenon.
I was far more sucked into Ancient Greece than the Romans but yeah Rome over USSR.
wait what my country and spain was in a war or at least a spanish town
11:45 for me it’s the German empire, not Rome or the USSR
Check out my meme reaction playlist! ruclips.net/p/PLzKpRgRsZk7PWVKTJ8zV6zEP7_iZr6-n5
Hey, has anyone asked The Fat Electrician about his real feelings about the USSR?
Light me on fire, but I think religion kind of defeated the idea of pair bonding based on looks.
In regards to your video thumbnail I guess I’m rare in going down the cliff towards NATO and the Western Industrial Military Complex… 😅
11:50 - Neither. Not a fan of imperialism or dictatorship communism. As a proud Bulgarian, I'm always team freedom-loving Barbarian.
I think the blunt weapons were mostly meant to scare unarmed civilians. You look at them and you instinctively know you do not want to get hit by that. And if you are not a soldier you're not gonna think about how inefficient they are.
At least Rome was more prosperous than the USSR… and not too oppressive on its people
Human candles.
Damn natural selection must have missed my family tree because I'm ugly as fuck lol
