Your cat needs your attention also professor. I can hear its voice from your audio lecture. Love your articles by the way. Thank you for your new post 😎👍
Medieval and Renaissance monarchies often spent great sums and went to great lengths to engage in subterfuge and the destabilization of their rivals, including efforts to reduce confidence in the coinage of neighboring kingdoms. To what degree were these practices employed in ancient times? This exposition gives tantalizing clues in that direction, and I would absolutely love it if you, with your breadth and depth of knowledge, would expand upon this subject. 👍
I will do a short Video Lecture exploring one explanation for the Dragon Coin policy. The Han Empire had another unique 'money equivalent' to exploit trade and attract foreign wealth - silk.
Certain timeperiods of the Han Dynasty was very decentralized with semi-independent kingdoms. At other times, the central imperial Han government followed an almost libertarian or laissez faire like economic policy called "do nothing" where the government would do little to intervene in or manage the economy and allowed the private sector and local governments to take charge. This resulted in times when semi-independent kingdoms, local governments, and even private companies were able to mint their own currency. If these hybrid coins were indeed minted in the Han Empire, then I wonder if these hybrid coins came from one of these groups?

Greeks kept trying after the whole west joined. The whole west is failing now. Han Chinese was connected to Greece and then Greek want to be’s (elite). Not Spartans. That’s why China has gold now. The Egyptians thought gold was the skin of the gods. They started burials. The USA is failed paper money. Perfect timing for you. Great video.
@NEAR TERM EXTINCTION - HUMAN People travel for trade and conquest, It was too cold and there was nothing economically viable/valuable in Siberia and Alaska at the time and it was too far and unnecessarily risky. So the Chinese empire didn't conquer Siberia for all the same reason that they didn't conquer Alaska. P.S. Are you an idiot Nazi? if so why?
NEAR TERM EXTINCTION - HUMAN Thanks for the link and it makes sense. Of course since all women are related there is no Jewish women for Jewish men as per their own Jewish law saying they must have a Jewish mother. And Ashkenazim has PREHISTORIC European mothers. They are fakers.

Very interesting video. Keep these work up.
I love your videos. I’m definitely going to give your books a read.
DeadlycheesePeople I've got three of them, you won't regret it
Fascinating- I wish I could attend a class taught by Dr. Raoul McLaughlin in Arizona.
And here China is back at it with the Belt and Road Initiative... some things never change!
Thank you for your efforts, Dr Raoul. Your work is always interesting.

Fascinating and interesting. You are a worthy sucessor to Braudel. Thanks very much.

Imagine the Roman, Parthian, and Chinese rulers getting together in 100 AD to discuss statecraft. Those empires might all still be around today.

Online now. I showed it to some colleagues who suggested reposting with some introductory illustrations

Will the communist Chinese claim Greek territory as always being part of China- sarcasm?

This is a somewhat bewildering comment considering ancient China had almost no regard for gold whatsoever.
@@herodotus6235 Don't waste your time. The commenters here are obviously bonkers. Good comment though.
