It’s in Liverpool😁

Single fish costs more than a years wages? I'd definitely be happy to spend my days as a fisherman, if the sea were full of billions of winning lotto tickets.

Humanity SHOULD be the necessary stimuli to ensure that complexity maintains stability through the conservation information at the very least if not the increase of, rather than the reduction of information which seems to be the current situation,,,, As we have the intellect to understand why its required plus the population density access to resources creativity and inventiveness to do so successfully! So maybe a degree of precision of intent is now required....!

Love this content. Fascinating stuff. Cant wait to start going thru your work. Great job.

Can we talk Roman history with the swoosh plumber while there at our house......

Where Didi it came The map of 4:30?

07:52. That dove represents the Holy Spirit, which according to the Bible, appeared in that shape at Jesus's baptism. Although according to the Scriptures the Holy Spirit appeared in other shapes, the usual way to represent it is as a dove, specially when the Holy Trinity is depicted. God the Father as an old man, God the Son as Jesus with the crucifixion wounds, and God the Holy Spirit as a dove. Representing the Holy Trinity as three identical figures is a mistake, and it is forbidden.

I fear a lot of people here in the comments don't get it. The 'Restoration' is literally stripping away history to display a version of 'History' that has never existed, often brought upon by the idea of nationalism, and deeper issues with Western historical identities, often heavily romanticized and, in the worst case, thought of as superior to any other history, both outside and within Europe. Creating a usable sporting arena out of the Colosseum would be a more accurate historical display of the site than what it is now. History is the movement of humans throughout time, and if we take a moment out of history to make a symbol out of it, we rob ourselves of history. History is best remembered if we live with it instead of isolating it away and treating it like something we can preserve forever. Now, that doesn't mean we should tear down all museums and throw away the artifacts. Instead, we should find way's integrate *all* our history into our daily lives, contextualised if necessary, allowing it to evolve and remain relevant, and stop elevating one period, people or region over another.

Dr. Ryan, could you make a video about those mysterious objects Roman dodecahedrons? What do you think these items were used for? What are the leading official (and unofficial) theories? Thank you.

This vid has unlocked a craving for more like it. I just want more stuff now from an eastern Roman’s POV

After this video I’m gonna be reminded of the fact that humanity has lost immeasurable knowledge once in awhile, it’s insane how much we don’t know

the entire history of Western civilization before the Renaissance was falsified . Before the Chinese spread the technology of paper making to the West, there was no splendid civilization in the West at all, because you could not use parchment for complex administration and documentation. In short, all pre-Renaissance history is a myth. If anyone tries to study Western history in a scientific way, they will be in great pain: either continue to lie together or give up.

Imagine how easy it would've been to poison the water, maybe the stories about poisoning of the drinking water during the plague are true

I was today's years old when learned that in the States they play baseball with an *organ* soundtrack. Liturgical experience.

The so-called issues with the original sound like complaints about an old thing, when someone wants the new thing... But they could have had both!! Take stadiums during our present day. .. the Astrodome, perhaps, or Mississippi's two capitol bldgs.

This is so upsetting I’d cry

Looking forward to my next trip to Italy in the fall. I wish that society would look to the past a bit more and learn from it.

Pretorian Guard showed why they were not to be messed with.

Commercial is maybe not applicable in reality. The gap between rich and poor is getting bigger, not only in the US. Europe has laws preventing this gap becoming too great. Dividing wealth is the answer for longlasting peace and prosperity. Europe has to stop protecting its farmers and should stop exploiting Africa and Asia. The EU can stop spending money on subsidizing argiculture and development in Africa. We will pay less for our food too. Win win win win.

Seems weird to us now, because we became very individualistic…. As a historian I believe social (togetherness) interaction played a way bigger part to our social cohesion. His cohesion allowed feats we now consider as unlikely and awesome.

Hmmm. Wow. Algeria has an ancient Roman bath that actually still works? I imagine the sanitation there has improved dramatically in the past 2,000 years if people are actually using it. Fantastic.

Were sarcophagi displayed before death, or were there tomb tours? I'm wondering why anyone below emperor went to so much trouble and expense.

Reading Marcus Aurelius in the hope these videos and Marcus's books help me when I go back in time.

There's this (kind of same situation) in ancient india when Turkish invader Bhaktiyar Khilji destroyed The Nalanda University in 12th century. Its said that the destruction of Nalanda University sent the civilization centutries back as a total of 9 million books were destroyed in that fire. the university burned for 3 months and all the various studies that it had from around the world was lost just because of someone's stupidity. Only this year the university is revived but all the knowledge that we had can never be recovered.

It's funny how people "forgot" what the Colosseum was used for.

why does it feel like we've regressed since these times?

I'm still mourning this event to this day. I'm NOT watching this video, I don't want to be reminded of it, it's too soon

Think of all the knowledge humanity could have built upon back then and where we would be today in advancement. The wars and death we could have avoided. I think the world and the all the countries that came after, including ours, would be a lot different if we didn't have idiots in charge like Omar and Hitler ordering books destroyed.

4:50 It is quite proven that the large water tanks were not cisterns but decantation purification plants. The water flowed constantly from both the inlet and outlet in the highest parts. I encourage you to visit the channel of @IsaacMorenoGallo , a renowned expert in ancient hydraulic engineering and successful showbiz on RUclips. www.youtube.com/@IsaacMorenoGallo Está bastante comprobado que los grandes depósitos de agua no eran cisternas sino depuradoras por decantación. El agua fluía de manera constante tanto por la entrada como por la salida en las partes más altas.

Do we know anything about Roman tax rates? I'm sure their overall level of taxation was much lower than ours, but so were government services.

How did so much of it survive 2000 years? Wikipedia says it was buried under silt, but that must have taken a long time. How much is reconstructed?

The more things change, the more they stay the same...

Really like your content and your narration. Your tours sound really interesting as well. I've moved to Portugal from the United States and I've become a bit of an ancient civilization fanatic, including sacred burial mounds that are thousands of years old in Spain and Portugal. The temple to Diana in Évora is nuxe to see at night, and the town of Merida in the extremeAdura of Spain is an open archaeological dig all over the city. It also has a beautiful temple that looks beautiful at night and they have an annual ancient Roman party in the summer. That's quite fun.

Not the turks destroyed the momunemts but earthquakes did. There were severall earthquakes in history that destroyed half of the entire city.

An old girlfriend paid a visit recently. I mentioned my coin collection. She talked about it as an investment. I never thought of it that way. A friend said to me, "I spend my money on thrills crap, but you spend your money on sensible stuff." I never thought of it that way. When I drop 1500 on a coin, I feel guilty, not smart. I feel less guilty, now.

Never mind all that, what does Romanian wine taste like?

Oh how our hearts yearn to come home to you Oh Constantinopel Queen of City’s and to Attend the Divine Liturgy in Agia Sofia , eve though we had to leave you in 1453 every generation of my family in our blood we cry to come home Oh our Constantinopel ☦️☦️☦️

You can't go back to Constantinople, no, you can't go back

A cautionary tale about the importance of preservation.

America is rotting from the core. We've let the purveyors of oil and cheap, plastic shit take the reigns. But we were always destined for this. The country was founded by a bunch of tax evaders, only concerned about the bottom line.

I really hate how this country has turned out.

Very similar thing happened to Takshila in India (arguably the oldest University). It was completely burned down and similar things happened to it when Mughal invasion took place. It was a cultural and knowledge hub where many philosophers and thinkers from Southern, Eastern Asia (Including China and some nations form SEA), Iran, Afghanistan and middle came and bestowed their knowledge in art, culture, medicine and science. Most teachers and students their were slaughtered, and the entire university was destroyed and all the books were burned, remains of it still exist to this day. Don't know why some uneducated rulers loved burning largest labraries in the world, sad to see it happened in Europe too.

This makes me wonder just how far the Romans could've explored if they where as dedicated to it as the later britains and spanish collonizers. But I think that civilisation, despoter being thousands of years old already, was still too young to do so

Beautifully written.

This is the most insane thing I’ve heard all week. 11:08

From a muraled Tiber wall frescoe 'one Rome, one Italy, one state, one empire (imperial or papal) God or the Gods preserve it

The Romans gave engineering law, government literature abd we in the west inherited that culture gave like the Greeks before them and to bronze age powers before them these was the legacy of the Romans historical classical era and was why east and western Europe the Romans empire lasted so long from ancient Italy i believe came this greatist empire in history
