That college is now a Library that don't rent books out. Only scholars and people who ask for specific "scroll" name. I forget what the term is but it's 4 letters and it means like " the book of..." whatever. The big book/scroll term. It use to be a certified college on the occult.... It's now a subsidiary of the Vatican secret Archives. Can only get access if you know exactly specifically what "books" are underground. Pretty sure the guy who wrote the Barron Trump novels of the late 1890s is apart of that OCCULT too

ChatGPT is no good tool for factual research or checking, because of the "illusions" it generates, and that is because it is based on LLM i.e. statistics. AI does not understand anything, it emulates or simulates this using statistics. It is not totally useless, it is great in other contexts, but not here. ChatGPT has some value for making general summaries fo a topic (e.g. who won the Italian Wars of the Renaissance), from which You can go on and dig deeper, but without ChatGPT. In Your case, it is essential that You can read Chinese on your own and know the context.

This was VERY INFORMATIVE! I'm getting the KINDLE now! Wish you Happy and Healthy New Year!

Vajon van-e valamilyen etimológiai kapcsolat a magyar ,,nő" és a kínai ,,nü" között ? Hiszen mind a kettőnek ugyan az a jelentése, mondjuk angolul, woman vagy franciául, femme. Tud valaki erről valamit ? Köszi !

WHAAAA?!! I remember being fascinated about this city by watching a series of 1980's documentaries from the NHK network from Japan where a bunch of academics and explorers went all around Asia to talk about the "Silk Road" and Khara-khoto or as they call it "The Dark Castle" was one of their most enigmatic episodes. What these academics knew was that this was very prosperous trading post until the Mongols arrived. According to local legend, they tried to take over the city but were unsuccessful many times so at last, legend has it that they diverted the river that went thru outside the city walls and starved the population. In the end, the king of the city knowing they were about to be invaded, decided to kill his Queen and his several children so they wouldn't become slaves and rode out with his remaining troops to fight the Mongols to the end. Finally the Mongols took over the city, but they never found the legendary treasure many said was inside the city walls, but instead they found an angry dragon with golden scales which they thought was the king cursing them forever.

Very nice conversation!

It was not working at first.... I forgot to click 'all' in the search options. If this happens to you as well, NOT up or down...... just choose 'all'

I failed my senior historiography class because i got too caught up in reading on my topic. I was supposed to have read 5 monographs and I ended up reading 15. I needed to write 20 pages and I wrote 35, but without actually completing my argument. I really thought at the time the subject I chose was incredibly small and specific. I still think it is but, I guess a semester was not long enough to have written what I needed. I even got an 8 month long extension and still didn't finish.

This is a very interesting video ❤ thank you so much for all of your invaluable research and presentation 😊 AWESOME 👏

I am sorry but I don't agree with your point when you said that Marlow is not racist. him not saying much about the natives or being uninterested doesn't make not racist. he came to a conclusion and said in one of the lines that the natives are "not inhuman." like what do you mean they're not inhuman? are you scared to make them the same as your level?

Ive rewatched this a few times. Still so good!❤

Very interesting video about a place I had never heard of.

Never overestimate bureaucrats. They are usually just thieves with a licence.

Thousand.

Thanks

very useful knowledge.. how about android. i only use android

Thanks!

it helped me so much,thank you for that.

Nice 👍

Dear professor Glambos! Thank You so much for this video and Your recommendations! Actually, sometimes I use some technics, that You describe, like a working every day for five minutes and more reading and take some ideas from this, I think that all this ways are very helpful!

Great tips! Thank you professor!

Thank you so much! I’m a grad student and I am considering writing a review for a popular journal in my field. This helped me a lot .

This is a helpful way to think about research and writing, thanks!

The best explanation, cheers 😊

Nice topic, but a bit long-winded and dry, at least to me. Peppering it with some concrete samples, examples, artifacts (if in the public domain or legally available) would have been a welcome format, but oh well, at least we got an expert speaking. General problem of academics, btw, is the inability to express themselves in a concise, business-like manner, summarizing their thoughts in a hierarchical, easy-to-understand structure with short, succinct sentences instead of a romantic whirlpool of thought-tsunamis, but listeners to this kind of content (and source) are already accustomed to this phenomenon. Thanks Imre for shedding the light via Prof. Meyer to the existence of the heap of hitherto "un-excavated" Chinese manuscripts in the philosophy domain. PS: Just some food for thought: the very word in English "philosophy" is coming from Greek (philo-sophia, the "love of wisdom", or rather "the fancying of knowledge", literally), so it is somewhat understandable that Western scholars live in their aforementioned "we know everything better" bubble, however ridiculous such an attitude is from the perspective of anyone coming from a civilization/culture OLDER than the entire West's 2000+ years of total existence (and there are heaps and bounds of them, like Egypt, Phoenicia, Sumeria, Persia, China, etc). There were periods in human history when newcomer cultures preserved the self-destroyed cultures of others (like the 1000 years of Islamic science period, for instance), but generally speaking, with all our "new inventions", we can safely assume that civilizations, particularly those with the longest continuous existence (like China) tried it, thought of it, had it before, so it is more logical to assume that certainly they had the philo-sophy, just like the West did. It is absurd, illogical, and indeed arrogant to assume otherwise. A healthy dose of humility would indeed be welcome, but oh well, the expectations, based on history, are set very low. Cheers anyway and thanks for the pioneering work!

I find it hard to believe that anyone would question that there is such a thing as 'chinese philosophy'. We've all heard of Tao (or Dao) from an incredible range of popular cinema media ie. Last Airbender and Star wars, even small western children have 'The Toa of Pooh' which introduces the idea at kindergarten level. Whoever you spoke to must have been living under a rock!

Vernacular Chinese varieties were used in drama scripts and novels in earlier works for a long time, and there have always been in-between forms of Chinese.

From a new be of everything Chinese, this is fascinating and much appreciated

非常有興趣的話題與對話

I find your research very fascinating and informative. I appreciate your TH-cam channel and would like to say that I find the subject of abbreviations in Chinese, particularly when related to punctuation, to be quite exhilarating. I have done some research myself to try and promote abbreviations marked by symbols or punctuation to be revitalized and used for making Chinese Character initialisms and acronyms. I think that the symbols from the manuscripts and/or very similar shapes and functioning markings such as the Armenian Abbreviation Mark (՟) or the Character “𠃋” are the best fits. I think that using such marks after abbreviations to indicate they are abbreviations is useful, plus it means abbreviations will not have to require as much context to be indicated as abbreviations in writing.

Thank you, Sir. You have given me hope.😁

Very confusing. Not helpful at all.

Great video, many thanks!

my Syriac and Eastern Christians prof at SOAS!

Thank you so much ❤

I see a lot of Classical Chinese on signs, since it is so compact.

You'll never know how much this helped me.... Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge! We need more people like you!

Use voice to text input. 蝴蝶，蚯蚓，蟑螂，昆虫，壁虎，蚂蚁，螃蟹，虾。common radical is 虫

I just learned about this feature and it's pretty neat! I was reading an old literature and looked up so many uncommon words. Then I discovered about these in the settings and wow amazing. I wonder if the dictionary works with other languages? Because this tool will be INCREDIBLE for learning a new language!

I love this man ! Thank you for this interview~ It is insane to think about the tremendous weight of our past misconceptions concerning Chinese spirituality... I will gladly discover the Chinese Religious Text Authority !

So happy and surprised to see that Prof. Galambos had started using kindle two years ago. Sorry to be late to the “party”. Agree with many things you and your readers had mentioned. In addition, I often buy the same book in two versions - Chinese and English to study translation. For example, I’m reading Prof. Patricia Ebrey’s book “Emperor Huizong”, Chinese version is in a hard copy and English in Kindle. It’s a way to compare texts in both languages, which is what I’m interested in. I also like to use Kindle to read a topic which I am not familiar with, so I can use the dictionary to check words much more quickly than a physical book. Lolan Song

I wonder if any of those scrolls or books had any information on the weather around the site? Why was it abandoned?.

This is a great video. Thank you for making it.

Oh, my goodness! Thank you so much for this! I just discovered your channel during a search after bemoaning the fact that you can get a crappy B-rated movie from a dozen places online, but AUDIBLE seemed to be about the only game in town when it comes to books still under copyright. I'm hoping that audiobooks become more popular with the implosion of Hollywood.

Typical Europeans and their fake discoveries.
