I remember an Alfred Hedgehog episode that featured the "raining fish" thing. That's how I'm familiar with that (although, I'm more familiar with that episode having a really dramatic opening).
I'm sure some of the weird rain had to do with harmful algal blooms or algae spores in general. They can make rain turn all sorts of colors depending on the species of algae.
the sahara routinely causes 'blood rain' and occasionally white rain across certain areas of the mediterranian because the flats make for great places for dust to accumulate
I love the degree of "correlation = causation" in the Earthquake portion. Pliny goes "ever noticed that places that have caverns and complex underground sewers have less quakes? This proves the wind escapes easily there, which proves my wind theory!" Without ever stopping to wonder "wait, what if the reason why caverns and old sewers survive is just because there aren't as many earthquakes there, not the reason for it?"
@@mordirit8727 To be completely fair to Pliny, he wasn't really a scientist per se. Also, the scientific method didn't exist back then, so he probably didn't have the concept of dependent and independent variables. That being said, he most likely misunderstood a common phenomenon that happens during an earthquake. He probably saw that subterranean gas get released during earthquakes and thought it was air.
And- get this- his death in the eruption MAY have just been a coincidence. I read somewhere that it might actually have been a heart attack, and he just happened to have it during the eruption
Love the works of both Pliny the Elder and Pliny the Younger. PtY’s description of the eruption of Vesuvius and his uncle’s (PtE) death while trying to evacuate people are must-reads.
pliny: *makes a surprisingly accurate description of how stars behave around the solar system* also pliny: yhea, so seals are inmune to lightining, why?, i dunno, but those motherfuckers are lightning-phobic i swear on jupiter.
I’m going to guess that the “comet” that grew to the size of the moon then shrunk was either a meteor burning up in the atmosphere or one that came in at an angle and bounced off the atmosphere
If Pliny's Natural History was the book of all human knowledge at the time he was writing, just imagine how humongous a modern updated version of the book of all human knowledge would be.
If you have read foundation by Issac asimov a huge plot point is that idea. A man uses (fictional) math and probabilities to predict when civilization will collapse, the galaxy is one huge empire but is facing instability by a number of factors. He determines to shorten the incoming dark ages from 10,000's of years to just 1000 years, he needs an entire planet of scientists and workers to dedicate hundreds of years to writing one chronicle of all of humanities knowledge up to that point, so that future generations may obtain from it and learn from it to restart civilization and shorten the period of suffering which may have otherwise occurred. But the political imtrugue, wars, and outside nations formed after the fracture of the Empire all impede the foundation and extreme mind games have to be played at a galactic scale. Good read!
32:25 But this is actually correct. Water rains down over land, dissolves stuff (e.g. salt) and washes it back into the ocean. When that water evaporates, it leaves all its solutes behind, and the cycle begins anew. Over geological timescales, that leads to saltwater oceans.
Is fun to see those phenomena thought modern understanding. Like those rivers that kill you could just have heavy metals, that pool of flammable goo is probably something like petroleum. Even the guy who could summon lightning could use something like a copper rod if that is real.
There has been some crazy rain in history. Storms like tornadoes sometimes suck up fish or animals or debris into the atmosphere and it rains down later. It has for example rained frogs or fish spiders before. It happens relatively often actually. So the flesh rain is plausible, milk and blood rain could be similar but just say red soil or chalk that got mixed into the rain.
It's really impressive how close ancient people were to the truth. Like we just grasped the concept of tectonic plates in about the last 100 years. So even if they just got a few details wrong, they weren't necessarily that far away.
We do not give ancient societies 1/100th of the intellectual credit they deserve. It's gotten to the point where people think they were too stupid and primitive to even sculpt rock by themselves, believing space aliens had to do it.
the rocks that dissolve bodies is from Limestone I think. Some area they had a quarry to make sarcophagi but it had high concentrations of lye natuarally that sped up decomposition. there are lots of myths about the stone hungry for flesh.
1:17 I found a bookcase full of encyclopedias out in the shed... A-Z... 23 volumes, 300lbs of books. Put them in boxes and now I have a book shelf to put non-books on cause we live in the future. My dad was complaining yesterday cause his phone couldn't understand his question, so he had to type it in himself. Sometimes you have to take a step back for perspective... That is a robot on the supercomputer in your pocket.
The "a place in india with no shadows" is probably a reference to Zero Shadow Days, days where the sun is straight overhead. India gets around 20 of them a year, though they are very localized and only happen in any one location twice a year. Basically, there are 10 places in India where twice a year the sun is straight overhead.
If you haven't heard of the _naturalis historia,_ then only because it's the only one of his works that survives today and thus people usually just cite it as, for instance, Plin. XV.18 (though equally as often Plin. nat. XV.18). We know he wrote extensive other works, among them a history and study of the Germans which is assumed to be the basis for many other authors writing on the subject, including Tacitus, but none of it remains for us.
15:56 It is interesting to know that the Romans could have created the industrial revolution 2000 years earlier. What has always intrigued me is to know if, as they expanded across the Mediterranean, they could have,I don't know, do things like Discover America
No, Roman Industrialization is overblown as a possibility, just because one Egyptian had a novelty steam toy doesn't mean Rome was even close to Industrializing.
there's an at least 12 requirements a nation should meet to "create the industrial revolution'' Rome met 3 at best people smarter than me have elaborated about it at length, you can look it up but suffice to say, no Rome could not have industrialized
sam don't do kids in his intro anymore because youtube has been pestering him with youtube kids due to the new rule that came a few years ago and flagged his video as content directed for children because of his intro.
Random suggestion: I've recently gotten into Epic: The Musical (a series of songs, not an actual musical) which is a modern adaptation of The Odyssey. It's a lot of fun, and you might enjoy (or at least have enough to comment on) at least a few of the songs and their animations like "Thunder Bringer" (Zeus killing Odysseus's crew) and "Gods' Games" (about convincing the various gods to let Odysseus go)! From one teacher to another, you channel is great!
Don't over-sell the ancients. True that many people today under-sell their deep ancestors, thinking those ancestor knew nothing. Yet there is a big gap between making simple observations of the world around you and the accumulation of knowledge of skills we have today. It took thousands of years and (importantly, which many people skip) a dramatic expansion of our population in order for us to get the modern world. So much of what we humans do can be described as _magical thinking_ and to overcome that tendency takes a lot of work.
Dude, I think Spontaneous Human Combustion had an entire generation on edge. I encountered far less of that and quicksand than the media led me to believe I would.
I think nowadays we figure that Spontaneous Human Combustion happened because people went to sleep with a cigarette in their hand, had it burn through their thigh, into the fat reserves in their thigh, and cook them from the inside out, cause fat is a stupidly potent fuel.
35:10 idk how you feel about anime, but there is one called Fire Force, where humans do spontaneously combust and the Fire Force has to deal with the sort of demonic/monstrous spawn created by the combustion. One of my favorites personally.
26:53 For those wonderering: Yes. Chap 2.80 is just casual racism regarding people getting too close or too far from the sun; And how superior the Mediterranean people are to both.
3:00 I disagree (kinda). The people of Rome liked Nero for most of his reign (towards the end not so much) because of his willingness to spend money on bread and circuses, he was hated by the Senate (a.k.a the people who write history). Also it's likely the fire was completely accidental and the story of Nero starting it was a later invention.
The elliptic orbits are Johannes Kepler's work, although he based this data/obervations made by Tycho Brahe, another nail in the coffin of the pefect heavens (only circles are perfect!). Britain have more tornadoes per unit vof area than the US; they're just smaller and less destructive. (‘Because we don't DESERVE them‘ - Al Murray as ’The Pub Landlord’.) When observed carefully, we find that quite a few lighnings actually strike UP from the Earth; it's an ion (not iron) thing the difference between charges in the clouds and Earth makes lightnings - otherwise the lighnint wouldn't strike Earth. Fortunately for Pliny, he never played golf.
Monotheism has been around for a long time. The core of the modern judeo christian religion( the Jewish part) dates back before the development of the Greek gods. It just wasn't until Christianity came around that it was spread over the globe in a relatively short period. Also, though they were dicks sometimes, the catholic church is responsible for funding much of the scientific research throughout the past 2000 years.
Modern people: global warming is caused by carbon emissions Pliny: since fire doesn't want to be too close to the sun it stays in the 1st layer of the sky, making it gradually warmer. This is why we can grow the same plants as the Egyptians who were much more south. Also, the Pyramids are the tips of giant spears that start at the earth's core.
Thank you so much for this amazing video! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
So, the sun does have an effect on the tides, over a much longer period of time, so he's half right about the sun and moon affecting the tides, just off on the effect of the sun The "moist" and "hot" stars would probably be an observation of red-blue shift, stars moving towards or away from Earth
Actually the earth being in the middle of the universe, isn't technically wrong. We are at the center of the observable universe and as far as we know we will never know what is outside of it. So ...
Was spontaneous combustion ever really athing or was it just some dingus playing with matchsticks cuz I despite the worsening global warming, we dont hear about it anymore
what a soulless way of stealing someone else´s work. Sam O´nella puts months of work into his videos, and within a day you´ve reuploaded it in its entirety
I do have to disagree with the "science making Monotheism" point you made. 2 of the World's 3 largest monotheistic religions were around long before modern science explained a lot of these things. The argument can even be made that Christians drove modern science because they wanted to better understand God's creation
Sorry but please dont perpetuate ignorant descriptions/definition of polytheism. Ancients didnt believe some rando dude or dudette controlled something life wind or fire. They literally just shrugged and worshipped wind and fire as their own thing, and worshippied it. In almost all cases, the “godly names” were literal words for those concepts or thinky veiled metaphors. But for centuries, the English refused to translate thise names and led the lublic to believe “less civilized” people worshipped weird dude and dudettes like comic book characters so they (the English) could belittle the “poor delusional heathens”. Ugh. Langauge dictionaries solve allost everything.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

For the weird rains there are explanations
Milk - white dust picked up by winds
Blood - iron containing dust picked up
Meat - animals picked up and pelted with each other
Tiles - pulled from roofs
Etc.
there has been modern examples of raining fish and equally weird things
I remember an Alfred Hedgehog episode that featured the "raining fish" thing. That's how I'm familiar with that (although, I'm more familiar with that episode having a really dramatic opening).
Pelicans vomiting up their contents because they're startled. Which was a thing that happened.
I'm sure some of the weird rain had to do with harmful algal blooms or algae spores in general. They can make rain turn all sorts of colors depending on the species of algae.
Usually the “raining fish” happens when a tornado or waterspout picks up the animals and carries them miles until it dissipates enough to drop them
the sahara routinely causes 'blood rain' and occasionally white rain across certain areas of the mediterranian because the flats make for great places for dust to accumulate
Gotta give the ancient historians and scientist credit they had a pretty solid understanding of how things worked. Just missing the final details.
"they had a pretty solid understanding of how things worked"
@@TheDanEdwards i don't think you understand the words you're using, op is correct
@@whatlmao I mean, OP thinks "fine details" are "final details" so it's questionable.
They didn’t have the formal sciences but they had a lot of curious people and writing to disseminate with people who had the leisure to indulge in it.
@@whatlmao I think q better way to word it is "they had a good idea of what was happening just not exactly why"

This proves the wind escapes easily there, which proves my wind theory!" Without ever stopping to wonder "wait, what if the reason why caverns and old sewers survive is just because there aren't as many earthquakes there, not the reason for it?"
At least he also includes the architectural advice about arches and mutually leaning walls standing up better.

That’s not “correlation ≠ causation”, that’s Survivorship Bias.
"The star forces that keeps stuff on earth" is a pretty good description of gravity.
The earth keeps stuff on earth. Not the stars. But close enough ig.
The irony of this guy going on and on about how awesome and kind the earth is only to die in a volcanic eruption
No but you see volcanoes are fire not earth so earth is still harmless and the best and you should shut up.
And- get this- his death in the eruption MAY have just been a coincidence. I read somewhere that it might actually have been a heart attack, and he just happened to have it during the eruption
We all know it's the wind and fire ganging up on him.
"Hey, kids!"
Mr. Terry forgot that Sam's last video started with "Hey, majors"
Love the works of both Pliny the Elder and Pliny the Younger. PtY’s description of the eruption of Vesuvius and his uncle’s (PtE) death while trying to evacuate people are must-reads.

There was a "blood rain" in Kerala, Índia in the 50's that scientists discovered it was algae spores giving the rain the blood-red color
I forget where but flesh rain happened in the united states once. People even got sick from eating the gross meat that fell from the sky.
@@domehammeryhea, I believe it's theorized it was some sort of algae lumps
