I wondered why the movie indulged in such a divergence of appearance. Xerxes of '300' is an unforgettable standout, but there was no shortage of historical references to inform his traditional Persian costuming.
That's my biggest complaint with a lot of videos, it really is annoying and makes it hard to hear exactly what they're saying all the time, you made me feel better, I thought I was the only one
I read on a different video how to correct the loud music where you can't hear what the narrator is saying. Push the Settings button on the upper right part of the video, hit "additional settings." Turn on "stable volume." That helped me a lot while listening to videos with blaring music.
As an Art History professor, it is interesting how the people were presented as white. If you look at the relief of Xeroxes, the scarification on his head and beard meant that his hair was not long and straight. Rather, it was wooly. He would have looked Middle Eastern.
I read Gore Vidal's historical novel, "Creation," in the 1990s. It stated that Darius had been assassinated, in Egypt, with a poison-tipped spear. At the time, I was taking a World History class, and I asked my professor if that had actually occurred. He said it probably did, and that that novel was fairly accurate in its historical details.
Xerxes came to power when he was 32 in 486 BC. He married Ester when he was 41 after ridding Vashti, his first wife. Btw, he probably looked very Middle Eastern. The carved reliefs on the wall is the best depiction of him. The scarifications on the hair and beard showed his hair was wooly but curly, not straight and white as some representations show. Darius, his father was the one foretold in the. Bible. Also, holding out the stick meant that he allowed you to come before him. If he didn’t, you were killed.

This is very interesting, but why use irrelevant illustrations and ridiculous film footage? One even curiously has a figure strongly resembling Abraham Lincoln! Please improve?
Informative. While the music was repetitive, I was able to hear content just fine. Dunno what these whiners are complaining about- sounds like a bunch of 1st world problems. Keep improving! It’s clear most weren’t even a speck in the milk man’s eye, when the exaggerated effeminate Xerxes juxtaposed the Greeks in film. Keep improving!
The sound of this video is sooooo veeerrrrry quiet that I had to crank the volume to it's MAX setting and then when that bloody stupid commercial came on, it blasted me right out of my bed and my manners! I yelled at my cat for trying to run off with my Bluetooth headphones that I had just ripped off my head and flung across the trailer, ostensibly at his fuzzy little criminally inclined mind that he keeps secure in his left ear, for safe removal doncha' know?? Anyway, please consider future adjustments to your videos sound levels, to prevent you and yours being stalked by a Squad of Battle Cats across the Planet!! They have Drones and they are NOT afraid of deploying them!! In point of fact they use them like they're going OUT OF STYLE!! Never considering the COST!! Anyways, do think long and hard about the EGREGIOUS amount of Battle Rattle that you will be subjected to upon the Deployment of the Death Rattle Drones!!! You'll be sorry!! And your little dog too!!!!
I refuse to believe that Xerxes looked like he looks on the thumbnail/300 movie.
😂😂😂
He was made to look very fruity in 300.

Pretty gorgeous looking actor, though 🤭
Would be better without such loud music
Makes it unlistenable with headphones.
Agree

I can hardly detect any music.

Your audio is inaudible even with my computer volume at maximum and the TH-cam volume at maximum. Please fix it.
One thing Xerces was not was an 8 foot tall bald man.
True but the movie Xerxes was so fragging hawt!
@jh115 😂

Please fix audio
Just skip ahead to 18 minutes 40 seconds
Thank you! No watching this channel again.

I love he Esther story, but there is no historical proof of it and for many reasons it is highly improbable.
How do you know he was 32 when he came to power?
Can hardly hear you.
I wonder where Esther was during all of this.

@dianneking3842 thxs.
@@dianneking3842 There is absolutely NO historical proof of the Esther story and many, many reasons for it being highly unlikely.
Audio is far too low. I'm not watching any more.
He wasn’t big on wearing a lot of clothes, was he.

She was so mad, she probably took up all his hobbies to spend more time with him like my wife ...its pure hell
😝
Great Document but the music is super weird and just sounds out of key.
Thanks👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Disturbing/ irritating music and a lot of non related nonsense illustrations.
All campaigns until 19:50. You should change the thumbnail.
the 3oo should have been renamed the 7,000 ,look it up
Could you have any more adds?????
Fix the audio
Isn't Xerxes the father of the Elric brothers?
FAKE PHOTOS.
