That's a title i can get behind
He talks way to much
Michael Flood why are you watching a reaction channel if you don’t want to hear them talk
@@CloudDistrict7 He's a history teacher. Did you expect him not to expand on things if there's a possible teaching moment? Think before comment.
@@CloudDistrict7 but he's talking and analysing very interestingly, I would listen to him 24/7.
The Egyptians made Ptolemy pharaoh afterwards. Thus Cleopatra was Greek. Yes the Egyptians did see the Greeks as liberators
"When it comes to Herodotus you're probably best off dividing everything by 10"

300 not 30

The art of Minoans used to be delicate compared to the Egyptian which
used to have big structures which last in time

So basically... Aristophanes was the father of dank memes?
Yes
And fart jokes, dick jokes, and bawdy comedy.
@@WowUrFcknHxC It's something about the way he described it. Inside jokes of the week. Those are modern comedic memes in a nutshell!

The trireme you were looking at, had a ram, you just looked at the wrong end of the ship.
How humiliating...

I find it neat how both modern and ancient democracy would call each other oligarchies, for completely different reasons.
Alexander was crowned as pharoah by the egyptians. To this day, alexander is loved
By the way, the narrator of this video is Brian Cox, the actor that plays Agamemnon in the movie Troy.
Amazing job tbh, glad to see you reviewing this video, Terry! Keep it up, your channel is great!
I thought the narrator sounded like a foolish king
The narrator is not Brian Cox.
@@akichisel2538 he is credited in the description of the original video.

Herodotus is also considered the father of social anthropology in some way. He was the first one to talk about cultural relativism.
Watch overly sarcastic productions, they did a lot about Ancient Greece but other history related stuff too
I advise against watching their Islam video. They basically ignore the existence of Sharia Law.
@@frankg2790 and when we learn history of christans peoples and cultures do we go into all the fuck up laws different Christian sects have had?
I'm officially addicted to your videos.
Me too 😔🤚🏾
I used to play a game called "age of mythology" and it was basically age of empires, but with gods and all. It had campaigns and history related to Greek, Egyptian and norse mythology.
Even tho it was not at all accurate, was told from perspective of 1 hero called arkantos(never heard of him) , and didn't even scratch the surface of mythologies, that game was the reason I got so interested into ancient history.
I loved that game!!
Arzamas is a Russian history themed channel, and it's really great that you've featured it here (I'm Russian myself)
Прикольно, как они заменили факт про Владимира Великого на факт про викингов, ведь Киевская Русь по сути государство викингов.

“Phonetic” doesn’t come from “Phoenician”. It comes from the Greek “phōné” (sound).
Exactly! Thank you for that!
Please allow one minor correction for "phone" (Φωνή), as you very correctly write, literally means voice, rather than sound. However the use in word phonetic leads more to sound, rather than voice. I just wanted to point out the exact translation of the word and by no means correct your meaning in any way!
@@inquisitor3663 Thank you. Good point. As you’re probably aware, φωνή is polysemous. So we’re BOTH technically correct; since it has 2 viable translations in English - “sound” and “voice”.
I suppose I was trying to keep things simple with one single definition, at the expense of accuracy. So i should have written - “phōné” (sound, voice).
Robert Beeke’s Etymological Dictionary of Greek givens the following entry for φωνή:
“sound of humans and animals, tone, voice, pronunciation, discourse, speech, uttering’ with the Indo-European root meaning ‘say, voice, sound’.”
Here's the section for its ETYMOLOGY -
“From the root of φημί with o-grade… because the meaning of φωνή ‘sound, voice’ is not identical to ‘saying’. Frisk prefers the connection with OCS zvonъ, Ru. zvon ‘sound’… Yet, this would require PIE *ǵʰhuōneh₂, for φωνή, a vocalism which the other languages do not show. Therefore, we may (with DELG) retain the connection with φημί.”
@@choreologychannel Quite informative, thank you!
Not a huge fan of the Indo-European theory myself, I have to admit, but any knowledge is better than no knowledge at all!
@@inquisitor3663 It's the theory that best fits the linguistic and anthropological evidence. You can download Beeke's Etymological Dictionary of Greek from Z-library and read his introduction for more info.
I also study Russian and Old Church Slavonic, which have striking similarities with Ancient Greek through their connection with PIE. But there's also a very large substrate of non-PIE words in AG of non-Greek origin. For me THOSE words are even more fascinating than the ones that can be traced to PIE. Beeke has his own theories on that vocabulary, but there's still no consensus on that topic.
@@choreologychannel Intriguing! I surely shall look into it! Thanks again!
i just want to point out how badass Spartans were. There was a spartan general who when he heard that the Persian army had enough archers to blot out the sun he said excellent the men will be so happy when they hear they won't have to fight in the hot sun
The Spartans also had 2 kings at the same time. In case one dies in battle.
Based spartans, even the king fought in their battles
the spartans have 300 men and the persians have freaking hundreds of people and ships, leonidas in the battle of salamina (i think that battle) said he will not run and he will fight the persians with his boys and the others flee on the side of the spartans. badass as hell for me
When alexander the greats father Phillip II sent a message to sparta saying that he will slaughter the spartans if he won so they might as well surrender, the spartans replied: IF
After you've baited your students into a circle argument trying to decide whether or not Athens was truly a democracy, you should introduce them to the no true Scotsman fallacy.
Good idea!
1. The Cretans (Minoans) and Mycenaeans were Greeks, not pre Greeks in the sense that what developed later into the Greek nation was genetically and culturally influenced greatly by them. The Greeks of the classical and Hellenistic periods were the descendants of those people and the Greek speaking tribes who conquered them (Dorians and Ionians mainly). In 2017 genetic studies performed on ancient Greek skeletons found on Crete to mainland Greece have concluded that a) Mycenaeans and Minoans were genetically very similar, with the Mycenaeans having some Nordic and Siberian genetic contributions that the Minoans lacked, and that modern Greeks are by a very large percentage descended from those people (estimated at an average of 70 to 75% genetic similarity).
2. The Spartans refused the demand of Thebes to raze Athens to the ground and enslave the Athenians because they saw that Thebes was becoming the next power in the region and wanted to keep Athens as an obstacle to their military rise. Thebes shortly after the Peloponnesian wars concluded became the dominant military power of Greece, which was succeeded by Macedon.
3. Macedon was also a Greek kingdom as is said in the video, with clear genetic and cultural influence from its southern Greek neighbors as well as some inevitable genetic and cultural contributions from its Illyrian and Thracian "barbarian" neighbors to the north. Macedon was the northernmost Greek kingdom and it was not possible to avoid any genetic and cultural influence, but they kept their Greek conscience despite that. I would also like to point out that modern so called "Macedonians" have nothing to do with those ancient Macedonians and are in fact brainwashed Bulgarians - a tragic experiment performed on the Bulgarian people by the communists of Yugoslavia and later also Bulgaria to destroy national sentiments in the Balkan region and keep the Bulgarian people of Vardarska Banovina (FYROM) obedient to the communist regime of Yugoslavia and not wishing to unify with their Bulgarian brothers.
It’s a shame you didn’t mention how in his attempt to “dig up” Troy, Schliemann blew up the first nine levels because he used dynamite rather than actually digging
13:20 the term "Phonetic" derives from the greek "φωνή">"phone", meaning "voice", like "telephone"= "voice from fahr". It dose'nt have anything to do with the Phoenicias!
Correction six story palaces and apartments. They did not walk around topless and what the men wore were not skirts. Yes the writing system has been deciphered. 32 Greek alphabets have been found to date. The Greek alphabet didn't derive from linear B, linear B is just a writing system that was used in that area, if anything linear B came from the Greek alphabet, a variation of.
They wore togas.
Also Sparta has an absolutely massive slave revolt one time that nearly destroyed their civilization and this was the main thing that sort of kick started their transformation into such a highly militarized state.
i was always told that it was because of the high levels of threats near Sparta such as Athens and to instill fear to neighboring cities and countries
No such thing as a slave revolt.
They never had a massive slave revolt. Are you maybe confusing Sparta with Spartacus. Spartacus was in Rome.
Sparta conquered the Helot people and enslaved them as a society. It was kind of wierd because the Spartans never saw themselves as citizens of where they lived but as occupying peoples. So they always had a constant fear of a mass Helot uprising, this is why they kept thier society so highly militarized, because A they saw themselves as outsiders to the Hellenic world, and B the fear of a Helot uprising.
One thing I'd say that I think the original video gets wrong is that the grain supply for Athens (and a fair bit of Greece) wasn't exclusively and perhaps not even mostly from Egypt. There were a number of Greek colonies along the Black Sea, and particularly in the eastern part of the Crimea and the Kuban region beyond which gradually united into the Kingdom of the Crimean Bosporus. It's also the last independent Greek state in that period, surviving into the 3rd century and making a living exporting grain, slaves, and furs among other things. It was heavily influenced by its steppe neighbours like the Scythians and Sarmatians, to the point where the aristocracy typically went into battle as armoured horse-archers or armoured lances in Scythian or Sarmatian style.
One of the most memorable experiences of my school years was when my history teacher had us debate in front of our class in favor of the Spartan VS in favor of the Athenean civilization. The effort that we put into understanding both cultures so that we could orally argue and try to convince our classmates made the learning experience so much fun and meaningful.
I grew up loving history, mostly thanks to my history teacher, Mr Duignan. He was awful at sticking to the exam prep script, but wonderful at going off on historical tangents and asides. I did have to make all my own notes and study the exam stuff in my own time, but Mr Duignan gave it all context and spirit by actually giving a crap about the subject he was teaching. Anyhoo, not saying you're in the same mould or anything, but your students are clearly very lucky to have you! Cheers for the vids! :)
We need to be careful when we say: the country that never actually existed.
Of course no country existed in our modern sense of the word, but the Ancient Greek texts tell us that the Greeks called at least the mainland of "Greece Proper" as Hellas, and amongst each other were called Hellenes.
There are actually hundreds upon hundreds of references to this in Ancient Greek Historiography..
Its good to be more clear about this
-Sebastianos the Philhellene 🇬🇷©
Can you post a reaction to this hour long video. "Our history is not what we think!" I found it very interesting and it had some good explanations that were easy to grasp and logical.
I did some maths.
The Minoans existed between 2700 BC and 1100 BC.
If we ignore the obveous cultutal shift that happens with time, this Civilization existed for 1600 years.
That is the same time period as the Barbaric Kingdoms that followed the Fall of Western Rome is to us (1600 years).
That is crazy.
We have translated the Linear B. So Linear A can be desciphered using Linear B as a starting point.
Did the Egyptians see Alexander as Pharaoh? Well when you considered that Cleopatra is descended from Ptolemy, Alexander's General that inherited Egypt after Alexander yeah they were Pharaoh
When Alexander the great conquer Persia there consider him as savior
Gerald Grenier so was she white?
@@exioz99 Maybe mixed? Not all the Greeks were typically white.
Cleopatra was Greek (actually Hellenic but thats a differentm story). The concept of whiteness didnt really exist in antiquity, it was all about ethnos, or where you were from, not the color of your skin. This is how slavery was done against ethnic lines, and racial slavery didnt really exist until the New World came into play.
@@TribuneAquila except Greek and Hellenic are one and the same
i never knew that old naval battles were so crazy like that thanks for the info terry! :D
Please make a series where you compare the different ancient political governments. I would love to get into the different systems and to see the up and downsides of each system. :)
The Phoenician "Alphabet" was actually an Abjad.
The first real Alphabet with our stricter definition, with written vowels and all, was the Greek one
-Sebastianos the Philhellene 🇬🇷©
I've suggested it before but check out Epic History TV and the video they did of Alexander's speech when his soldiers mutinied at Opis. Do the version in ancient Greek. It's freaking awesome!
Hey, Mr. Terry! Love the channel! I'm actually studying to be a social studies/history teacher myself.
Could you maybe react to WW2 in One Take by the channel History Bombs? They have a WWI video as well.
Keep up the awesome work!
Well even if 300 Spartans faced 200,000 Persians. That's still super impressive.
XD well if we are dividing everything by ten, it was 30 Spartans against 200.000 Persians. Equally impressive and unrealistic.
3,000 years from now people going to think we Lived in a porno if they go through our garbage.
Archeologists of the future looking at our memes and shitposting trying to decipher what it all meant: 👁👄👁
awesome video! just one nitpick- the word phonetic is actually derived from the root 'phone' which means 'sound'. this word is derived from the ancient greek 'phōnētikós' which means 'vocal/of the voice'.
The ionians moved to todays turkey and became Pontic. The Pontic genocide by the turks was on par with the Armenians. The word Pontus means sea and through that i speculate the word pond was created. Also Pontic people identify as Greeks to this day. Greeks agree with that sentiment. Even though after the Pontic genocide many Greeks treated the Pontic people as turks. I am happy to know my history and to see you be so well informed on it mekes me ecstatic (Greek word btw). There are rumors that the bronze age Greeks had made it to england and even America, although i personally believe that to be Nationalist propaganda. Greek wine was used in surgeries as both an antiseptic and a numbing agent. Slaves in athens were treated better than most places. They were tutors for the kids, often considered part of the familly and could become free most of the time
Phonetic doesn't come from Phoenician..
Phonetic comes from Phone Foni, meaning Voice in Greek
Phoenician was what the Greeks called the people and has something to do with the Highly sought after Purple Dye that they made available from the sea shell aquatic organisms that they would catch off their coast and produce from them
If Im not mistaken..
-Sebastianos the Philhellene 🇬🇷©
Linear B script of the Mycenian Greece has been translated. And Linear A tablets have been found placed close to the Linear A. So Linear B can be a starting point to Linear A.
51:32 Hey Mr. Terry, small note: Alexander’s kingdom separated into 4 separate kingdoms, not 3. Thing was, that 4th itself broke up suuuper quick. If i remember correctly, the land went to 4 of his generals*, and one general* handled it poorly. I can’t speak with confidence about why the fourth broke up so quick, but it was there initially.
What territory was it? Was it in the Levant because I remember seeing a small kingdom in that area that was not ruled by Ptolemy after the immediate breakup of Alexander’s empire.
Quite a few more than four at first, and none of them were Alexander's sons. Most of them were Alexander's generals (one was his Greek secretary). Ultimately you get to the three major successor states of Macedon proper, the Seleucid kingdom spread from Syria to the border of India, and Ptolemy's Egypt, but there were others too.
Tim Newman In fact, Cassander (The general that got Greece) killed Alexander’s son, mother, and wife, Roxanna.
Alexander tha Great had no sons .His kingdom was separated by his four soldiers
Ελένη Πανοπούλου yeah he did. He was the child of Alexander and Roxanna, his Persian or Bactrian wife. He was still a baby (Or still in the womb) when Alexander died.
You should react to historia civilis
You know I never really thought what ancient ship battles were like. Thanks for educating me that is kinda fascinating.
Greek language is not just a language if u analyze the words u can come to an conclusion that has a deeper meaning for life...check it
The Trireme does have a battering ram. Its on the right of the photo. The left side is the rear of the boat
I think it is interesting enough that during the Peloponesian War, the Athenians were victorious in all of the naval battles, and the Spartans were victorious in all the land battles.
I always seem to find myself stoned and watching your videos, keep it up Teach!
A team of anthropologists and archeologists actually did a study on people garbage in modern France in order to demonstrate how inaccurate archeology on ancient civilizations can be. It's a really funny book. For example they reach the "conclusion" that pocket knife must have been a sacred tools used in the worship of the "god" Opinel (a famous brand of french knifes)
when u compare 500bc Athens democracy to today's democracy you may say it looks like an oligarchy, but when you compare it to any early 20th century western world democracy you will understand how much ahead of their time the Athenians were.
There is no difference to early 20th century western world democracy to today's democracy besides today's democracy is more corrupt.
Even 21 century.
Troy was also Greek belived of thracian decend thus pelasgian proto-greek
Just a small correction if I understood well what you said, the word "phonetic" doesn't derive from the name of Phoenicians, but from the greek word for voice (phone= φωνή)
Hey man, you should really react to Sabaton. Great music, and their songs are about old wars, and different battles.
I recommend Sabaton - Cliffs of Gallipoli to start with.
agreed!
Great idea, this
It's funny because the guy who voices this sounds quite a bit like Brian Cox who played Agamemnon in Troy.
It is.
Is it possible to sort the videoes in the A History Teacher Reacts playlist? It kinda starts with a Part 2
Very nice analysis of our history and thank you for it. I would also like to point out some things like there was no Greek army on the mainland shore. It was the Persian army, all over the place. King Xerxis even had his throne set up on mt. Aegaleo, watching the battle. There was some Greek troops in the Islands of Salamis and Psyttalia with more in Corinth. One major difference between the Greek and Persian fleets, besides size and agility, involved the people rowing. In the Greek fleet they were all free citizens, while in the Persian fleet were all slaves forced to row. The ship shown in the picture is a full size exact replica, called Olympiad, that exists today in the park of naval history at Faliron bay, near Athens and it's front is the other way from the one you pointed. You may want to arrange for an educational trip with your class in Greece, once things get better with the COVID Pandemic.
Macedonians were Greeks, but they were considered to be the Hillbillys of the bunch.
I think these big overview videos are better than the more focused Oversimplified videos because it's a lot easier to expand on passing topics.
While the Phoenicians were the first to introduce an alphabet, Egyptians were already known for using their hieroglyphs not just to represent one entity, but also the sounds that were made when uttering the name of said entity.
In reality an alphabet must have vowels the phoenicians did not have...
in the section of the video where you try to describe the naval battles, and specifically the ships, you have misidentified where the ship's front is... you can see the painted eye and the battering ram nose on the opposite side of what seem to assume is the front of the ship. check to the right of the picture: there's an eye at the base of the "horn" and a grey / white section dipping into the water. the grey white section is the battering ram.
you can also see the direction the ship going by checking the water trails behind the ship to the left of the picture.
I think I’d be cool if you made you’re own history series animated or not
This is his history channel. He talks all the time often pointing out the facts ahead of the video.
Your video is infomative and enjoyable. I would ask you a question: "Do you see any similarities between ancient Greek history and the modern American history?"
3 centuries of lifetime don't make history. Still a baby. Native tribes though?
Yes arrogance of Athens was paid with its fall and a lot of blood.
Ancient Greece in 18 minutes.
Look the time: 58 minutes.
Gonna watch this for sure.
my youtube pet peeve is people who click on the play button instead of just clicking on the screen anywhere
I don't know if anyone mentioned this to you, but when you show the Trireme you got it all backwards. You show the back as the front. The front is where the huge eye is.
The Trireme does have a battering Ram, its on the other side of the photo. This is one that they reconstructed in Greece and that can be seen there today..👍
Constructing my history by going through my dumpster? Sounds to me like I had a lot of dry/irritable skin and a bad and chronic case of the sniffles.
i recommend overly sarcastic productions video about persia. and the video from knowing better about ghandi and columbus.
Dont Care the video about Columbus has been debunked by multiple people.
Good point about Sparti (20.00")
Roxana was Bactrian, which I know was part of Persia, but different culturally.
Waiting this hour is killing me

Its Brian Cox narrating! Its Agamemnon from Troy 😱😱
So cool...
You really need to react to some of NativeLang's videos. They're more about language rather than history, but he has many videos about historical languages that are fascinating. Besides, language is a huge part of culture, and culture is a huge part of history, so they go hand in hand.
Can we say that *all* Egyptians at the time deified or even liked Alexander? no, but the Persians also conquered Egypt and we know that the Egyptians didn't like them, so my guess is that the powers that be (in ancient Egypt would be the scholars and holy men most likely) liked Alexander enough to deify him in a sense, as opposed to the Persians and Darius III.
sorry to school a teacher but as a greek who studied ancient greek phonetic as a word has nothing to do with phoenicians, its based on greek word ΦΩΝΗ that translates as "voice". Also about the trireme.. thats not the front man .. thats the back of the ship with the steering... watch closerr u ll see on other side the ram
Great reaction but you're looking at the trireme at 30 minutes the wrong way round! You were looking for a ram on the stern.
Guess we have to say the Greek were democratic, they invented the term after all, what we're doing would rather not be democratic, we just call it that because it's based on their system.
It is wild that olives spread like they did since you can’t actually eat an olive unless it has been brined first

Terry, dude first of all the Achaemenid empire had a population of 15-16 million that’s a LOT for back then they DID fight a million Persians. Herodotus says so and I will only trust ANCIENT sources not what some guy on TH-cam says.
still you understand the logistics required behind moving an army of a million 2000km away to towns with populations around 10000 and all that 2500 years ago? What did they eat and drink, mcdonalds?
I’m kinda sad the video never talked about the voyage of pytheas of massilia
Please do samonella academy
Sam o'nella academy
So the Athenian navy were the Spartans of the sea.
Not to be rude, Mr.Terry, but with the trireme explanation, you were pointing out the rear of the ship, the front was on the right most side of the picture, with the eye painted on it.
Yeah I saw that afterward
You are the best reactor in youtube, no joke!
As democratic as a city state/nation could be at the time describes Athenian democracy quite well.
Any chance you’d be willing to share what your degree path was? What degrees do you hold and what would you suggest to someone interested in pursuing History at the collegiate level?
In point of fact, yes Athens was truly democratic. It is also fact that, so far as I know, no other nation has ever been democratic by the actual definition of the word, which the greeks themselves invented. Most modern states that call themselves democracies are either republics or dictatorships or some other flavor of autocracy who's name is a literal lie. The united states is a republic with an electoral system that was specifically designed as a check on true democracy (the electoral college is NOT a method for making presidential elections more efficient, if you look at the federalist papers and other early constitutional debates and documentation it's biggest selling point was as a defense against 'mob rule' by establishing a college of 'sober men' to interpret the public will as well as the public good).
Honestly I think my garbage would give a more accurate representation of my life than what I would actually write down.
The Trojan Horse has an interesting origin, in that it likely _was_ based on something that existed..
The theory goes that Troy's walls were damaged badly by an earthquake, allowing the armies of Greeks to break through. The horse would've then been erected in tribute to Poseidon, the God of Earthquakes, whom had the horse as one of his symbols. As Poseidon is also the God of the Sea, a role which he's far more famous for, it would've been a twofold tribute, as they'd not only be thanking him for enabling their victory, but also hoping for him to ensure they had a safe and expedient journey home.
Poseidon was also god of horses so..
Coin with the turtle on it: from Delos.
Correct. Greece is the only region that didn't have a mega river out of all the great ancient civilizations in Bronze age. And agriculture was not abundant enough everywhere in Greece, although they did have fertile areas. And Greece does have plenty of smaller rivers from all the 80% mountains, but it was difficult for this water to use for agriculture due to the wild terrain where those rivers are generally. And since sea is also abundant they supplemented with this sea life. And Greeks became great traders even in the neolithic 7000 BCE.
1). But it's still unfortunate that, as Mr Terry already said, that much of Greece's history is not really mentioned. You see a major timeline in the video 3000 BCE, but not much is told. Even though Greece has 4 Bronze age civilizattions. The Helladic period 3200-1200 BCE, The Cycladic civilization(3300-2000 BCE), of which they just found the most remarkable find where they found an island with 10.000 tons of a very sophisticated architectures of monumental buildings complete with complex plumbing/sewerage systems 5000 years ago.

neoskosmos.com/en/141538/aegean-keros-site-in-greece-reveals-marble-buildings-that-transform-what-we-know-about-bronze-age-culture/
Then you have the Minoans which are featured in the video, although even though the palatial period started in 2000 BCE, it's civilization was from 3650-1300 BCE. And then lastly the Mycenean civilization which took over the Minoan civilization and incorporated a lot of Minoan elements. A continuity. Just like that the Cycladic civilization merged into the Minoan civilization which also has many elements of continuity.
2). And aside this incredible bronze age, even Greece's Neolithic is absolutely overlooked. Greece's civilization 9000 years ago was far more advanced and extensive than what is usually known. And then I can also hear Mr. Terry saying that there are many misconceptions about Greece. Especially a major misconception as most people think Greek history is all about one period, called classical Greece. Which is just a small period of many great periods in Greece.
But again aside from the incredibly advanced Bronze age civilizations in Greece, Neolithic in Greece was vast and extensive.
www.ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology/accidental-discovery-8000-year-old-settlements-and-necropolis-greece-001531
"The discovery reflects an incredibly advanced civilization existing in northern Greece 8,000 years ago."
And not only that. There are so many examples but this is only strengthening the other example is that the oldest writing found on the planet is the Dispilio tablet in Greece. Which dates to 5300 BC, 7300 years ago. Found in the lake of Kastoria in Greece (found in1993), called
the Dispilio tablet with the first linear writing from 5300BC pre-dating Egyptian, Indian and Sumerian writings by 2300 to 3000 years.

greece.greekreporter.com/2012/07/16/7270-year-old-tablet-found-in-kastoria-calls-into-question-history-of-writing/
In other words without making it longer, Greece is far more far deeper and far richer than what many people know.
you should react to epic history world war one 1914
You pointed at the back of the trireme and called it the front. That ship does have a ram, it’s under the water in that picture. You need it to be that low because you want to put a hole in at the waterline.
Whoops, my bad!
