The Professor has given more people a great education through this youtube than he could have given by working for 40 years teaching 200 students a year, I thank him for this great gift.
I love your courses and your sense of humor …Barbara Ann 😂 Seriously I have learned more from your courses then my quarter century of reading National Geographic, BS from a major university, and innumerable episodes of historical videos. Thank you!!!
4:47 it’s funny that you should mention how European looking people come from Central Asia. I live in Central Asia (Kazakhstan), and although right now we mostly look very Asian, there are still, many hundred years later, some (very few) Kazakhs born with freckled skin, red hair, and blue eyes.
Well, you had a small quip which sent me on a quick investigation - the story of Augustine and Ambrose. It is from Augustine's Confessions 6.3 and it seems there is some controversy about ancient silent reading. There are various scholars who said it was about silence and more recently it has been interpreted not as having an issue with reading in silence, but not being a public intellectual (out in public, reading, taking questions, answering challenges, etc.). I personally don't see why it can't be both, but figured I would post this for anyone who had the same interest.
31:45 The man with the two animals around him is an interesting motive found back in Sumerian art like the Inlay panel from the soundbox of a lyre, from Ur. Also, even before that, in Egypt on the "People, Boats and Animals" painting, in the lower middle. A curious case of ancient motives making their way through the centuries.
Thank you, dear sir, for your work! Your love for what you are talking about is obvious, your expertise is apparent. Please, do not pay attention to spiteful (or jealous?) comments below.
57:30 the bull, eagle, lion and man are also symbols that represent the fixed signs of the zodiac. I noticed them on a few pages of the book of Kells. Bull = Taurus, eagle = Scorpio, lion = Leo and man = Aquarius.
Vandals, well. The Hebrew word for vandal is KALGAS, coming from the nickname for Roman soldiers, coming from their Caligae. So, it all depends on your point of view.
The Barbarians, the Visigoths, even the Vandals where nice and kind people as all other immigrants of their time who were only having a tour around Europe and settled here and there doing nothing bad. The only bad immigrants are the Europeans who migrated to America. ~8:20: Cannot stop noticing that the Western Roman Empire fell because of the minorities while the Eastern one survived about one more thousand years!
You rarely ever pronounce anything correctly, even in English, it’s distracting and sloppy teaching. Sutton rhymes with button, not suit-on, Angles are pronounced angles, not eengels, brooch is pronounced broach, rhymes with roach, coach, etc.
wait until you find out that as a general trend more educated people tend to be more left wing, not to mention that the vast majority of theory in the humanities are based on marxist thinkers almost like education puts things in perspective and makes you realise things about capitalism
Absolutely, not to mention that he speaks like a teenage boy, not a college professor. I thought this was his high school project at first. I suppose all those weird things he refers to are video games, tv shows or movies? He also says “pissed off” constantly, it’s so childish.

“Of course I don’t share this info with my MIL, Barbara-Ann.” 😂
Love your videos. This is the second time I'm going through the ones on medieval and renaissance art, my favorite. Thank you for your great work.

Being born and raised German, I have a request: it is Hildes-heim ( the home of Hild ) and Wieland is pronounced like Weee-lund
this is really great series!

Spot on about Capitalism.... ;)
Skelligs: on the N Atlantic, the Irish Sea is Ireland's East Coast.
Art connoisseurs are like poisonous snakes sometimes 🤭
"Kiev and Ukraine was settled by the vikings"??? Dear lord
Brooch is pronounced so it rhymes with coach not mooch
MY mother's name is Barbara Ann,,,
prevalent is pronounced PREH-vul-int, accent on syllable 1, not 2

I agree completely.
Dripping with *WOKEISM...* 🤢🤮
…how? 🙄

almost like education puts things in perspective and makes you realise things about capitalism
