Unexpected Traits That Make People Powerful
You need to stop saying vikings all the time, they were Norse People
This sounds like the introduction to a more complex and indepth video. This topic critically needs a indepth analysis. I know, this channel is about shorts. but that's not really a short topic.
Thanks for your insights. We are working on new videos with more in-depth context about the topics.
Idealistic crap. They were fighting, enslaving & killing each other just like the rest of the world
usual bias
The,,europesns,,needs,to,stop,putting,their,,narrative,,on,,African,history,,they,speak,lies
Good callout!!
Can we see or hear some facts, archaeologic proofs instead of empty words and stories not supported by anything?
Thanks for great feedback! We will be incorporating more facts and references in our upcoming videos.
@specjalista88 In the meantime you can verify this with a simple google search and read some papers
Or you could just do the math. How do you think ancient Egypt and other advanced civilizations came about? If non of these are not even partially true.
The ideals of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity that form the basis and drvining force of human civilzation are finding a new impetus in digital revolution. It gives us a strong reason to be optimistic about the future with enhanced and reinforced ideals. Of course, there are going to be headwinds that shall try to shake us from our cherished path the way it happened to Robespierre, but the odds are in our favour that we shall sail through.
Agreed 💯
The paper rustling sound was distracting.
Thank you for the feedback. We soon plan to remove it.
The depiction of Bastilla as a huge fortress is funny to me. It was three stories high and in fact a "row house". A total of 5 prisoners, whom the revolutionaries returned to prison by evening. The first victim was the commander of the Bastille. he refused to give weapons (the fort was actually a storehouse of weapons and gunpowder) so they killed him, cut off his head and paraded it around the city on a spear. At Danton's trial, he was gagged so that he could not defend himself.
Appreciate the interesting info! Will read up on this
That is completely untrue. There are countless contemporary drawings and paintings of the Bastille, and the blueprints/plans are all still intact. "The resulting structure became known simply as the Bastille, with the eight irregularly built towers and linking curtain walls forming a structure 223 feet (68 m) wide and 121 feet (37 m) deep, the walls and towers 78 feet (24 m) high and 10 feet (3.0 m) thick at their bases."
Imagine. If the Europeans hadn't have been to full of diseases then the " new world" would have been ruled by the same peoples who inhabited it for 10's of thousands of years. Instead we came and destroyed it.What a lucky twist of fate.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It's important to reflect on the profound impact European contact had on indigenous populations. Their resilience and rich heritage are crucial parts of history that deserve our respect and remembrance.
Boy, is this a total history revisionist and selective piece of amateur and politicized garbage or what? You think that the Plains Indians were sophisticated and building cities; well, they weren't. Most natives throughout North and South America had no written language and were living in the stone age. The Aztecs were an exception, as were the Mayans and Incas who had a written language and did build cities-- they were a strange hybrid of Stone Age city builders. However, the Aztecs funny enough never invented the wheel. Aztecs knew how to smelt gold but used stone-age weapons and tools. Were the Plains Indians building anything comparable to a city? Were they irrigating? Were the Inuit building civilizations? No. The geography and tribes of the New World were varied and many, and each was different. It's interesting how you never mention the enslavement of Indians under Aztec empire rule... Or that you never mentioned that the Aztecs had an empire... Or that human sacrifice was a big thing for the Aztecs. (Do you wonder how a handful of Spaniards conquered the Aztec empire and took Tenochtitlan? It's because the local indigenous tribes living under the Aztec rule filled the ranks under Spanish command to fight the Aztecs because they hated the Aztecs because the Aztecs were human sacrificing, slave taking, and evil overlords.) Warfare, ritual torture and cannabilism were a thing throughout the New World among native tribes and groups. Also the number of people in the New World in 1491 in no way was over a 100 million, no way! Take a more honest and specific approach to this topic, and you'll do better. It will show sincerity, truth and facts. Stay to specifics, e.g. the Aztecs.
Who used the word primitive?
In what context do you mean?
I did not imagine a pristine wilderness.

Thank you for your support!!
Exactly 😊
You only have to have common sense to know the title is a retarded statement.
In 1500 the population of Europe was 60 million. The population of Russia was likely under 10 million. The population of the ENTIRE middle east, including Egypt was less than 10 million. Thats with iron, bronze, steal, horses, castles, apartment complexes and literally not a city on the continent that doesn't have structures still standing from before Columbus. To suggest North America had a population EVEN CLOSE to 100 million is pretty hard to believe. Go to the biggest ancient ruins of middle age US. Cahokia, Chaco, etc. Each had populations of around 20,000! They were tiny! Much like pre-bronze age Europe, there just wasn't technology to maintain large cities & populations. The only real population was in Mexico among the Aztec Empire... and although it was impressive, it still was not as strong or impressive as the Ottoman empire... which as mentioned had around 10 million people. There are great census records in Mexico of how many died in the plagues... and much like Europe during black death... it averaged 30% and only occasionally reached 50%. Not 99% as this study would require.
Very good analysis. This book is leaning towards 100 million while there are other scholars that are leaning towards much smaller number. Here is what google search shows: "Pre-Columbian population figures are difficult to estimate because of the fragmentary nature of the evidence. Estimates range from 8-112 million. Scholars have varied widely on the estimated size of the Indigenous populations prior to colonization and on the effects of European contact."
Its a wonder how disease and can change the land and cultures of people living there
well said!
How do you know this at 500 BC and why are the iron workers
This was made based on the book "Africa in the Iron Age: c.500 BC to AD 1400 by Roland Anthony Oliver and Brian M. Fagan"
"More of the the world was perfect before the white man." Let's not talk about the horrible inequality, low quality of life standards, and some brutal practices that were stopped by the invading white man. Such as the wife burning of Indian culture.
And in human sacrifice. They always leave that out. Something we put a stop to immediatly.
Good point
Very well made video thank you!
Thank you for your support 🤍
Drivil. Get an English speaker to edit this. A ten year old will do.
Excellent work

yes, Roman bathhouses were pretty resourced facilities that provided bunch of services and amenities

What would you suggest us to improve, please?
@@apolloshortsmedia I find the imaginary AI photos disturbing and inaccurate, it makes the entire thing lack credibility.
If you're talking about the 1500s that would be the 16th century
Which scene are you referring to?
Bot shit
Great Video
Than you @donflin for your support! Stay tuned on new upcoming content (:
a society like this will never happen. needing permission to travel is one of the stupidest things of this fantasy.
Maybe an oversight, but you have hardcoded subtitles in the video.
Yes, we thought it'd make videos more engaging.
they were the same people everyone was before the names were made up and given them to separate and divide people against people.
Too much AI
We are interested in hearing your feedbacks. Do you have any?
The paper effect is so annoying k couldn’t concentrate and got distracted
Thanks for the feedback. We're going to roll out newstyle videos soon enough which will minimise the paper effects.
am I crazy, or is the volume on this video super low compared to the others?
Yes, background music in this video came out to be way louder than usual. Sorry for inconvenience.
I find it a bit surprising to not see any comments on this upload. That aside, i feel that calculative mindsets like that of niccolo machiavelli are inspiring. The pursuit for efficiency in achieving results is demonized more than it should be for no particular reason.
Well said!
I absolutely love your long form videos, but you make so many shorts that it floods my feed and I may have to unsubscribe soon. it really is far too much.
We really appreciate your feedback. We are currently working our new video formats which will include 2-3 shorts max per topic which will be more interesting and informative.
Wow
I love the content, I truly hope ur channel blows up.
Thanks a ton for your support. We truly appreciate it ❣️
II. Esther Becomes Queen Chapter 1 The Banquet of Ahasuerus. 1 [f]During the reign of Ahasuerus-the same Ahasuerus who ruled over a hundred and twenty-seven provinces from India to Ethiopia- 2 while he was occupying the royal throne in the royal precinct of Susa,[g] 3 in the third year of his reign, he gave a feast for all his officials and ministers: the Persian and Median army officers, the nobles, and the governors of the provinces.
Ezra 6 New American Bible (Revised Edition) Chapter 6 The Decree of Darius. 1 [a]Thereupon King Darius issued an order to search the archives in which the treasures were stored in Babylon. 2 However, a scroll was found in Ecbatana, the stronghold in the province of Media, containing the following text: “Memorandum. 3 In the first year of his reign, King Cyrus issued a decree: With regard to the house of God in Jerusalem: the house is to be rebuilt as a place for offering sacrifices and bringing burnt offerings. Its height is to be sixty cubits and its width sixty cubits. 4 It shall have three courses of cut stone for each one of timber. The costs are to be borne by the royal house. 5 Also, let the gold and silver vessels of the house of God which Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple of Jerusalem and brought to Babylon be sent back; let them be returned to their place in the temple of Jerusalem and deposited in the house of God.”
I. The Return from Exile Chapter 1 The Decree of Cyrus. 1 In the first year of Cyrus,[a] king of Persia, in order to fulfill the word of the Lord spoken by Jeremiah, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia to issue a proclamation throughout his entire kingdom, both by word of mouth and in writing: 2 “Thus says Cyrus, king of Persia: ‘All the kingdoms of the earth the Lord, the God of heaven,[b] has given to me, and he has charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. 3 Those among you who belong to any part of his people, may their God be with them! Let them go up to Jerusalem in Judah to build the house of the Lord the God of Israel, that is, the God who is in Jerusalem. 4 Let all those who have survived, in whatever place they may have lived, be assisted by the people of that place with silver, gold, goods, and livestock, together with voluntary offerings for the house of God in Jerusalem.’”
Mercenary armies are disloyal and are mostly motivated by money...
Some say its the greatest time of them all, some say it was only brutal and carnage, but to me, it's the most magneficent example of hope and power one could ever see, farmers bulding an empire that when dying, layed the foundation of everything we now own,
Thank you for sharing your perspective! The Roman Empire indeed has many interpretations. It was a time of great achievements and challenges. While it had its brutality, it also laid the groundwork for many aspects of our modern world. Your view of it as a symbol of hope and power is a powerful reminder of its lasting impact.
Great video! Love the visual illustrations! Please make more!
