Love your videos.Can you make one on the nepali monarchy.🙏🙏🙏
Why there isn't khmer crown ? .... great civilization and crown is excluded
1/4 of British museum and almost the entire Victoria Albert museum is consist of the looted jewelry of from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳😡 time to return things back Brit's. Don't be a robber
@@ichamatitales9459 yup!! And while were at it the brits should return all viking possesions back to us!! And they should give their greatest king back too since he was a dane(give us back william the conqueror and cnute the dane) isnt it weird that the greatest things that the brits and other countries have is foreign?
you are wrong about the korean and japanese one though. they did have influence
the baekje one seems to be inspired by chinese han dynasty usually worn by female featuring leafs design
It's worth noting that the story of the Nepali Royal massacre is the "official" version of events. Crown Prince Dipendra had two gunshot wounds making it very unlikely that he shot himself in the head...twice. Most/many Nepalese people believe that the kings brother, Prince Gyanendra had the royal family killed so he could become king. Whether this is true or not, this is the main reason that the Nepalese people abolished the Monarchy 7 years later. King Birenda was beloved and they did not want to be ruled by the man who murdered him
Derek the way the last king of Nepal abdicated his throne tells a lot he wasn’t the killer and neither was the Prince. The prince was shot on left side of the head while he was a right handed himself. Which doesn’t add up. The real killer was CIA along with a big hand from Indian government. They have left a power vacuum which has made it easier now to play with its politics. The So called Maoist of Nepal were funded by India and were seeking shelter in Delhi, while they ran riot on innocents Nepalese. The evidence were destroyed right after the massacre.
I am Nepali
and now many believes that The Royal family was massacred by Indian RAW agents with the help of Nepali corrupted political leaders
It's Indian Government RAW and CIA... King 🤴was an obstacle on their way...and ofcourse some greedy royal family members
Probably the British Empire, trying to take over.
someone Nepalese do know who is the real killer i mean who set this all up she is the president from india from that time
One thing about Malaysian monarch that people might find interesting, the Agong or Supreme King doesn't wear a crown. Instead they wear the Royal Tenggolok, tenggolok being the traditional headwear of the Malay people. Today the tenggolok is commonly worn by the groom during their wedding ceremony.
I mean the tengkolok is a royal headwear so technically a 'crown'.
@bryan hates you well yes no brainer, cause its a malay custom not a chinese one haha. But also interesting to know is even some malays nowadays just wear western groom tuxedo's/suits in weddings, and hold western styled banquets instead of traditional ones. I've been to both types among my friends and family marriages.
@@MatPost Actually, tengkolok/tanjak/destar can be wear by commoner, depend on it occasion/event. Like there's tengkolok for wedding, silat, and more. But yes theres royal tengkolok that only king or royal family can wear it, depend on it unique design.
@@asrikhalid6391 There is different between Tengkolok/Tanjak and Destar... Destar for Sultan... Tengkolok for Nobility (Not all Tengkolok is Tanjak)... And Tanjak for Normal person (All Tanjak is Tengkolok)
Yes.. because in malay custom, headgear or the tengkolok doesn't represent the symbol of power (only as a symbol of social status) . For malay, the real symbol of power lays on the Keris (malay dagger).
The Silla crown has some serious fantasy vibes. I could almost picture an elven king or queen wearing it. Its design is beautiful.
이 왕관은 무덤에서 발굴됐고 여성의 것입니다. 그런데 옆의 쌍둥이 무덤에 묻힌 그녀의 남편 무덤에는 금동관과 은관만 나와서 역사학자들은 당황했습니다. 신라에 여왕이 있긴 했습니다만, 무덤의 연대랑 맞지않았습니다. 무덤의 주인을 알지 못합니다.
이 왕관의 아름다움은 단지 겉모습에만 국한된 것이 아닙니다. 앞에 삼지창 모양은 나무를 뜻합니다 생명과 생장을 의미합니다. 뒷편에 사슴뿔 모양이 두 가닥 있습니다. 이것은 영원한 생장, 영생 혹은 환생을 뜻합니다. 그리고 왕관에 70여개의 굽은 옥돌이 달려있는데, 이것은 생명 번영 순수 등 성스러운 진리를 의미합니다. 이 옥돌 모양은 한국 조상들의 공통된 심볼입니다. 이것은 용을 의미하기도 합니다. 용은 동양 문화권에서 성스러운 존재로 인식됩니다. 용 상징의 시원이 바로 이 옥돌 모양입니다. 일본에도 전파됐습니다. 일본인들은 이 옥돌 한 조각을 아주 소중하게 여깁니다. 한국에는 많이 출토됩니다. 이 왕관에는 많은 상징적 의미가 있고 그것을 추상적으로 표현하고 있습니다. 실제로 보면 더 아름답습니다. 특히 이런 상징성을 알고 본다면 더욱 감동적입니다. 이 왕관의 연대는 신라에 불교사상이 지배되기 전입니다. 그래서 이 왕관은 한국의 조상들이 숭배했던 상징성을 갖고 있습니다. 한국의 조상들은 모계사회였습니다. 이 왕관의 주인이 여성인 것도 그 증거가 될 수 있고 옥돌 역시 여성적인 의미가 있습니다. 이 왕관에는 세상의 번영을 기원하고 개인의 순수와 진리를 쫓는 매우 아름다운 스토리가 숨어있습니다. 이 왕관은 한국 서울의 국립박물관에서 진품을 볼 수 있습니다.

Silla really does have some fantasy vibes, the land was rich with gold that could be extracted from sand, river and even arabic countries recorded it as land of gold. They also had elite military forces called hwarang, which was formed of handsome noble boys, learn to train martial arts and buddhism, confuciancism as well. Their armor was also the most fancy looking among three kingdoms (among goguryeo baekji and silla) because they mainly focused on diplomacy.

yes, every layer in makes you cry even harder.
Jade is absolutely stunning and peaceful 💚
And the turban looks like a garlic
For me it looks like an Onion
Sultan suleiman (The ottoman ) turban is so big because its actually a shroud that will be used for their remain in the funeral. The shroud was fashoned like a turban in their head as a reminder that their death are not far away n also as a motivation for them to keep pious n pure to do their best as the current gatekeeper of islam

Europe: More jewels, more shinies, make this baby heavy!
Asia: * proceeds to add feathers of rare birds atop of crown * HA! MY SHINY EXPENSIVE HAT IS TALLER THAN YOURS.
Meanwhile Suleiman the Magnificent: ''MoRe GeMs mOrE FeAtHeRs MoRe LaYeR''
I was thinking the same thing with the European crown video.
I HAVE THE THING ON MY HEAD SO I AM IN CHARGE!
In Korea, we believe that we are the grandchildren of the sky. As a result, we have great respect for birds and have even tied our hair up in the past, symbolizing our desire to touch the sky.
In the birth myth of the leaders of our ancient country, most of them are born from eggs.
A fact about Sulemian is, like every ottoman sultan he had his speciality which was jeweler, if you watched the Magnificant Century you can see him doing stuff with jewels when he is at his office, also the "onion hat" he wears was actually made of his own "kefen" which is what he will be shrouded once he dies, its to remind him of death which also explains why its that big.
Interesting

2:33 well Gaya is not included in three kingdoms. Gaya didn't last long, and it was much smaller than its neighbors, and the three kingdoms were Baekje, Silla, and Goguryo, which included northern Korean peninsula and Manchuria.

Commissioning 4 layered crown full of jewel that the sultan never even wear in court is just the biggest flex I've ever known.
I’ve read in Ottoman History books written by Turks that the 4 layered crown was only worn by Suleiman The Magnificent while he met foreign ambassadors, representatives and emperors (usually in European)

Silla's gold crowns are decorated with curved jades, and most of them are completed in the shape of deer horns, and if you look closely at the ends of the horns, you can see that a small bird is sitting. The reason why the crown was shaped like a deer horn is that deer were the symbol of the king in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, including Silla and Baekje. This animal is called Shinrok and is said to be a winged deer. In Korea, there are a total of 10 gold crowns, and many non-gold ones are found.
And the countries that made up the Korean Peninsula during the Three Kingdoms period were Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and Gaya. Gaya was excluded because it was a city-state that did not achieve centralization, and it was named the "Three Kingdoms Period," which means Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla. Goguryeo changed its name to 'Goryeo', which later became the origin of the English word 'Korea'. Goguryeo is a very important country in the history of Korea. It is located in the present-day North Korea and Manchuria.
Thanks!!!!❤
deer is not a symbol of the king. It represents eternal life because antlers regrow. and it is not sure the crown is for king. there is not a single tomb where the owner has been identified.
it is unclear whether gaya was centralized. gaya's development of the japanese dynasty was introduced by jon carter covell, the first westerner to obtain a doctorate in oriental art history. if gaya was a undeveloped dynasty, it would not have been able to achieve such influence.
curved jades is a very important symbol of korean history. it is considered proof of the birth of the dragon in the east.
The Korean crown is my favorite. Reminds me of the royal crown found in Tillia Tepe.
I like that one best too. The sea-green color is so pretty against the gold.
Nepal one for Me. Just unique
Their crown was influenced by the Scythian
Bulgar influence, with the shape and trident (baltavar)

For Malaysia or should I say as a traditional practice in Malay Archipelago, the symbol of power is not lay on the headwear or crown, but at the Keris (malay dagger). Keris hold the highest symbol of power.

I'm from Selangor and pleasantly surprised to see the Selangor crown among the important crowns in this video. I even live in the Royal Town, called Klang, the former capital of Selangor. The Sultan's official Palace is located here. Can I request to make a video on the Royal families of Malaysia? We have 9 royal families as you know and they are all interrelated through marriage and some even come from the same origin dynasty, like Johor, Pahang, Terengganu and even Selangor. Would be interesting to watch how these 9 royal families rotate as King of Malaysia every 5 years. Hoping to see some day. Thank you for this amazing video.
You should make a series for this: Malay Sultanates. In addition to the 9 royal houses in Malaysia, you should also include the Royal families of Brunei, Patani (Southern Thailand), Indonesia: Deli, Serdang, Langkat, Siak, Asahan, Kualuh etc (East Sumatera), Pontianak (Borneo), Riau. All these are Malay Sultanates which are related to one another.
Malay Royalty use titles such as Tengku (various spellings), Raja, Syed in place of prince/princess.
Don't forget for Kedah
Why don't you do it? Malaysians know better.
Today I had just finished your European crowns series and saw you promising this. Nice to see you uploaded it on the same day for me.
When you have so many jewels, that you cannot wear them all...so you make it your chair...oh and reportedly a paperweight...kings have the ultimate flex 😂
Exactly. I’m pretty sure Genghis Khan didn’t just wear some ordinary hat as an emperor and famed warlord. Otherwise, why would Russia seize his imperial headwear?🤦🏽♂️
The Thai crown said to be worn by traditional dance performers is actually to represent a demigod status, suggesting the king presumably an avatar of the demigod
The "Mukut" ,crown of Thailand is the same name for crown in Sanskrit and Hindi language.
Isn't hindi word for crown is taj, as in taj mahal?
@@jonasdavies1806 “taj” is Hindi but ultimately from Persian. “mongkut” in Thai came from Pali/Sanskrit “makuta”/“mukuta”
@@jonasdavies1806 Taj is an Urdu word derived from Persian while "Mukut " is a Hindi/Sanskrit word . Although Taj is also sometimes commonly used in Hindi for referring to crown because Hindi is a mixture of many languages like Sanskrit (The most), Persian,Arabic (little),etc

Mongol rulers didn't wear crowns. Instead they wore hats. Maybe you mistook Mogols with Mongols.
@@BoundlessEternity_ nah. He’s right. Russia has my sh*t right now.
Malaysia's ystem of cyclically elected (well like you said, elected in theory) sultan-kings is absolutely fascinating. I'm surprised I haven't seen it re-used in a fantasy series.
The headwear you show at 9:29 was not the royal crown of Nepal. If you just compare it with the previous picture of Nepal's late king, you see that the one you show later is much less impressive. The royal crown had five crescent shapes made of diamonds. Other high ranking officials would also wear similar looking headwear - the Prime ministers till 1950 used to wear similar crowns with 3 crescents. And other government officials would wear a headwear with single crescent (the one you showed as the royal crown). Also, the "crowns" worn by these lesser officials (other than the King and the PM and few other top officials) may not even be adorned with the real jewels but with replicas.
Makes sense considering the King was called "Shri ५ (five) Sarkar Maharajadhiraj", while the Rana Prime Ministers were "Shree ३ (three) Sarkar Maharaja"
Yeah it wasn't of king it was of Rana prime minister.currently this crown is located at Qatar.
@@sirnikolaeinstein1740 Even Gurung lieutenant colonels from Rana era had their own Shreepech
I think my fave was the Nepalese one. Those feathers just do it for me, I guess.
Loved the video, but I have to say: the Three Kingdoms of the Korean peninsula consisted of Silla, Baekje and GOGURYEO. Gaya was a small kingdom at the very south of the peninsula, that generally speaking wasn't nearly as important as the other three!

These priceless crown belong to a Vajracharya master of Ancient Nepal. They used to wear this crown with other accessories during different veneration.
The level of craftsmenship and artistry going in this piece of crown is immaculate.
It alone proves the excellence of ancient Nepal in area of craftsmenship rightfully mentioned by different foreign travellers such as Xuanzhang and others.

Vajracharya masters now wear a poorly made copper crown in different veneration and it is real shame that these exquisite piece of art somehow ended up in west.
Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York alone houses half a dozens of these crowns.
I love the crown videos! This one in particular has been enlightening, what with the different designs from such a diverse continent as Asia. Will you consider making more videos that explore how important historical items passed down several owners through trade, gifting and theft? Another idea I thought of watching this is a history of the Faberge Eggs.

i don't think the kingdom of gaya was considered one of the three kingdoms of korea because it was absorbed by silla. silla, baekje, and goguryeo (the latter of which was far larger than all the others combined) are typically referred to as the three kingdoms of that period, to my understanding.
that being said, i saw the gold crowns of silla in person! there's six of them and most are in the gyeongju national museum. very cool and intricate up close!
the crown from Nepal that is featured in this video is actually of Rana ruler, the actual crown is displayed in the Museum in Nepal.
In Sri Lanka, while there was a crown, the symbol of the king was the tooth relic, which is a tooth of Lord Buddha. Anyone who has the control of it is recognized as the king. Before that the royal symbol was the Sri Maha Bodhi, which is a tree that was grown from a sapling of the bo tree that Lord Buddha achieved enlightenment. Both survive to this day
@Ricky yes they are great national treasures that must be protected. The tooth relic was nearly destroyed when terrorists attacked the palace it was being kept back in 1998

It's pretty much just a bullshit. There is no way Buddha's teeth survive, since Buddhism itself were founded only after Buddha had died for thousands of years already.
Generally, the empresses and princesses of China had more elaborate and beautiful crowns.
Seriously, some of their crowns are so intricate and delicate, it's amazing that people in the ancient times even had the scientific artisanship to make them.

From the Han dynasty and up until the Qing dynasty, the Chinese emperor always wore a Mianguan along with Mianfu as the ceremonial attire. Chinese emperors also have many other headgears and attires, and each set was worn on different occasions.

The precursor to the crown was the browband called the diadem, which had been worn by the Achaemenid Persian emperors. It was adopted by Constantine I and was worn by all subsequent rulers of the later Roman Empire
With the Chinese crown the beads are said to represent the stars as the emperor is ment to be the son of heaven and father of the nation while the empress is the mother of the nation and the main influence for all all women to aspire to
The fact that I knew this from mangas 😂
I love the Chinese crown,looks versatile even today and you can still wear it today and look highly fashionable.

the nepalese crown ur showing as the main pic is actually not kings crown, its a prime ministers headwear who had power bout 150 years, ik both kings crown n prime ministers Headwear looks almost same but kings crown has a long tail n its much more valuable n bit more cooler ofc, the crown is still kept safely at the royal palace, but yea the person who was wearing the crown is the king, n that was kings crown, n also the one in my pfp, but the pic of the crown ur showing is actually a prime ministers Headwear called "Taad Toda".

The comment about how eastern monarchs never really got on board with putting bling on their heads reminds of another channel somewhere that read out parts of a travel diary kept by a diplomatic aide from India who visited Britain in maybe the 1700s. He referred to Europe as "the hat-wearing nations." :-) You never know what about you is going to stand out as remarkable to someone else.

Excellent video. Would love to see a version of this featuring African crowns (including Egypt). Emperor Haile Selassie and Empress Mennen of Ethiopia had magnificent crowns that seemed to be Ottoman inspired. And the Ashanti also have a very unique assortment of crowns.

The interesting thing about the Japanese crown is that the more metallic and jewel-like part of it, if you will, is found in the Three Imperial Regalia, which are so much more important than the "crown" shown here, to the point that when the Empire of Japan was on its knees at the end of WWII, the preoccupation was to preserve them to safety "at all costs". They are the real granters of imperial power, and their lore sounds like something out of a fantasy saga, but they're real. Although... we don't have photographic evidence of them! They're stored in three different locations but they're presented in occasion of the enthronement ceremony for the emperor, concealed in wrapping. Maybe you should make a video on them, they're so freaking interesting!
@@davidjacobs8558 The Tang imperial house was of Han ethnicity, paternally that is, maternally they had intermarried with Xianbei royals, this is very well recorded and they saw themselves as Han not of “northern tribes”.

Wow that is fascinating, thank you for sharing this information! I never knew about that. Now I want to go down a researching deep dive 😄
거울, 검, 곡옥 맞아. 절대 공개 안하지ㅋㅋ. 한반도에서 받은거임. 일본의 신화들을 보면 전부다 천황은 외부의 세계에서 어떤것을 건내받음. 그 외부세계가 한반도임. 곡옥은 한국의 전통임. 매우 독자적이라 중국문화권에서는 발견되지않음. 고구려,백제,신라,가야 유적에서는 항상 나옴. 한국의 박물관에선 흔하게 볼 수 있음. 신라 금관에 달린 초록색 옥돌이 곡옥임. 태아, 생명, 진리, 용을 상징함. 가장 최초는 홍산문명에서 출토되는데 이것은 중국이랑 상관없는 한국 문명임.
the first crown you displayed in this video of Nepal is not of the King but it belonged to the hereditary Rana Prime Ministers of Nepal till 1950
Are there many other Silla crowns? I've seen one in an Asian museum in Paris but it had fewer ornaments and it was also from the Silla kingdom
There are likely dozens inside the many Shilla royal/imperial tombs, but as of now there are five crowns of Shilla that are out.
amazing video! going to watch the european one now :) please do one for africa, oceania and the anericas if you haven’t, i’d love a continuation of this series!!!
I made a comment on your 10 crowns from Europe about suleimans 7 layered crown and I’m happy to see it in this video thank you
The Pope: "I have the crown with the most levels and therefore my prestige is enormous!"
Suleiman the Magnificient: *Hold my Ayran*
Very interesting video. There is everything from other cultures to history to geology. Wow.
apparently he paraded the crowns once and then melted them all down and gave the helmet that the crowns had been set upon to the holy roman emperor.
@@martychisnall you are correct lol
@@martychisnall I think maybe you read Ayran wrong. Look up ayran
@@jayasuryangoral-maanyan3901 so he meant yogurt beverage? Didn't know it was associated with turkey in the west, considering that it is popular Caucasus and central asia too
@@danzoom it's associated with turks and mongols but I'm not speaking for the original comment
I'm surprised that the Korean crowns are so ornate and aesthetically pleasing in design. I think they are easily the best in East Asia, and maybe the entire video. I thought the Iranian crown was also very impressive, but a bit flamboyant and excessive. There is something noble, ornate, and stately about the crowns of Baekje and Silla. Though we didn't see a live example, the Ottoman crown looks very impressive as well, but again, excessive. I couldn't image wanting to wear the Iranian or Ottoman crowns, just look at them, if I was a sovereign of their respective empires.
I am SO into this. Thanks for making this video.
Can you do a video on palaces? I love the korean palaces which don't go in for lavish gold either.
A couple of month back, a clueless guy tried to steal the Nepalese crown from museum believing placing it on his head would make him King. Obviously, it didn't go well for him. He did become a meme though.
Namaste and love from Nepal 🙏🇳🇵
This is the first time I've seen Hirohito in the traditional garb instead of western styled regalia and its odd. Also, glad Malaysia made it here.
The Second nepali crown was SOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!
Also any chance that the Bhutanese Mahakal is related to the Indian one?
Yes... It's same... They worship Bhairava form of Shiva, which they call Mahakal.. It's Shiva only in the end...
mahakali is I think same as which nepali gorkha believe mahakali and mostly Himalayan people used to believe mahakali and bhagwan shiva before Buddhism came and still today mostly believe in mahakali and shiva but some Himalayan people now days follow mix of ancient Hinduism and tibeti Buddhism anyway spread love and peace jay Nepal.
@@goodperson810 ok thanks!
Buddhist Mahakaal and Hindu Mahakal arent same ig but physical depiction are quite similar.
Mahakal is more like a protector deity while it is similar with Bhairav in Hinduism.
We can find shrine of Mahakal in the doors or in the entry point of Buddhist monasteries in Nepal too.
Plus ancient Nepali crown was actually worn by Bajracharya masters not by the royals.
Only a ceremonial crown and a necklace of a young prince is retrieved in the present day from ancient Nepal sadly which is now in British museum.
@@ShantanuChakrabortyshaanchakra
I dont think they relate it with Shiva or Bhairav but influence of Hinduism can be seen in Vajrayana.
The Three Kingdoms of Korea refers to the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla .Goguryeo was later known as Goryeo, from which the modern name Korea is derived. The Three Kingdoms period is defined as being from 57 BC to 668 AD (but there existed about 78 tribal states in the southern region of the Korean Peninsula and relatively big states like Okjeo, Buyeo, and Dongye in its northern part and Manchuria).
Goguryeo stretched all the way to present day seoul. Also at one point took the capital city of Baekje
Such incredibly beautiful crowns. I really love jewellery museums.
**Peacock throne exist**
Persian Emperor: HEAVY BREATHING
You should check out the Crown of Sultanate of Ternate in Indonesia or previously named the Kingdom of Gapi. It is one of the unique crown, both history and design.
How about doing a video on Native American headresses?
@Tu Chu why nobody cares?
@@anythingfaizul2519 pay them no mind just a wanting rile people up.
@Tu Chu I care
Id love to see a video about this.
During halloween I see so many people selling ridiculous costumes, obviously downgrading the headresses.
I want to know the real power of the headresses 😁
Like the feathered headdress of Montezuma 😀
6:29 for your Information... The thing that our Sultan use at head is also a Crown...
For Sultan it call as "Destar"
For Nobility it call as "Tengkolok"
For a normal person it call as "Tanjak"
Salah bro. Destar tu headress . Semutar, tanjak , tengkolok, songkok, mahkota itu semua Destar.
Beza tengkolok dan tanjak ialah tanjak ada ciri:-
1. Tapak
2. Simpulan
3. Karangan
Tanjak blh dipggil tengkolok tp tengkolok tak boleh dipanggil tanjak.
P/s : Saya pengarang tanjak dan aktivis busana Melayu
The MianGuan was also used by Yuan Shikai in 1915 during his coronation in his attempt to restore the monarchy under his rule. The one he used did not include the beads on strings though.
You'd think that that prince would have been discounted from inheritance of the throne after regicide and multiple man slaughters...
He's just old school
No, not really. Chinese, especially, usually use this method to get the throne.
P/s: not chinese, nor china history expert. I just read a lot of chinese novels to believe that a lot of prince tried to kill their brothers and fathers to be eligible for the crown.
@@hoaithunguyen4473 I suppose there probably weren't exact written rules on the crime of regicide/familicide by the heir.
Perhaps it's likely that a member of the royal family at that status wasn't subject to legal stuff in Nepal. He might have had immunity.
@@hoaithunguyen4473 they said he turned the gun on himself though, so that may not have been the reason for the massacre.
@@hoaithunguyen4473 no, within the same imperial line, killing the entire royal line(other than yourself) is exceedingly rare in china. the majority of imperial succession is normal emperor to crowned prince. of those that did coarse the emperor to pass on the crown, the emperor is generally not killed, he just becomes a retired emperor.
Very nice video!
Maybe African crowns next? More specifically, ancient Egypt? They had quite a variety of interesting ones. 😉
The fact that I don't even know what other cultures have historically valued fancy royal headwear is probably indicator enough that I would love to see more things like this, of honestly whatever other global regions you'd like to make them!
Interesting video! Didn't know that Malaysia has that many sultans, perhaps you should make a video about it?
Brit be like : hippity hoppoty your jewels are my property
Lol betul tu
Lmao
True, in india a lot of people HATE them, to be precise, their so called "queen"
From what I’ve seen Indians say online. It’s more than just jewels, they took the gold and al wealth as well
And the journey of conflicts happen in the British ex-colonial countries begin😂
I think you could have another episode just to cover all the ceremonial crowns and royal head gears of the Sultans and Kings of the states in Malaysia.
Yes I support this. I'm from Malaysia.
And also, a royal family tree charts for malaysia
@@alexandertan8592 yes, because Johor, Pahang, Terengganu and even Selangor have same origins, branches of the same big family.
Loving how nobody is offended that a Jewish guy is covering this subject😎
Your research and delivery of your contents are praise worthy.
Everything I wanted to know and study is being presented by you .
@usefulsharts why did you take down your tier list of your favorite crowns? I really liked that one.
I just received your history of the world book and it is great 👍
The information about royal massacre is incorrect...No one knows what happened..Dipendra didn't kill his parents...
I have to agree...
Exactly, what a coincidence that Gyanendra survived and everyone else died.
@Free Kashmir from Indian occupation Agree bro.
Yes dear good cmt
@no more No need ur advise.
Other countries: Im gonna put nice metal and jewelries on my crown.

I am proud to Nepal and Korea 🇳🇵🇰🇷
Great video! I’d love to see on about the hierarchy of the us military ( joint chiefs of staff, sec def, branches etc...) I’ve always been really interested but really confused. Stay well!
A video on famous thrones woud be cool too.
In my opinion,i think the Chinese crown is interesting! The design may look a bit unconventional to some but it gives out a eclectic mix of both ancient and contemporary art. It has a spirit of "elegance and sophistication" ozzing out which you can still wear it and look classy,the second pick goes out to both the Japanese and Korean ones(not being biased here) very versatile. Sure the others look good enough but i think they are overly done ,the over the top embellishments sadly cancelled out it's beauty and functionality to the extent that they look like a regular religious decor items rather than a royal diadem .
The Japanese one was also a Japanese variation design on the original Chinese Futou head wear which was most commonly worn by men in the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty periods

They were Turks of Iran also they even couldn't speak turk language
@lunatic. Iran has always been ethnically diverse country. They are Iranian, doesn't matter if they are Turks, Azeris, Kurds, Persians, Balochs, Arabs, etc.
Agreed
Seeing Hirohito wear it looks so fake just cause I’m so used to seeing him in hoi4
When I saw that big ass crown from Persia, I heard Fluffy's voice in my head say, "Dayum!" 😂
Just subbed keep up the good work and can you do a video on royal swords please 🗡️
I live in Selangor, and only today I found out that the sultan has a crown (well, so do half of the other sultanates apparently).
We're taught in schools (standardized curriculum across the country) that Malay Sultans do away with crowns and opt for the headdress known as tengkolok, made of woven cloth. It was out of respect of an event (a legend?) in the 16th century in which the original regalia of the Malaccan Sultanate were lost to sea in a storm, and that only by jettisoning the regalia could the ship and the first Sultan of Perak (a successor of the aforementioned sultanate) on board be saved, so the successor sultanates vow to not wear crowns. even the regalia of the YDPA don't include a crown, so naturally the times when we see all the Sultans and the YDPA together all of them wear tengkoloks.
However, it does make sense that the sultanates that do have crowns (except Johor) are not successors to the Malaccan Sultanate. The royal house of the Selangor Sultanate were Buginese from the Celebes iirc. So am I apparently.
Besides Selangor, the state of Kelantan, Terengganu and Johore have their own crown but more to European shape and recently made. Kedah sultanate is a way older than Malaccan sultanate but also don't have crown. It is because forbidden in Islam for a male to wear gold, that's why Arabic monarchies don't have crown also.
@@ummfaizal I'm from Selangor too and we have Galeri Sultan Abdul Aziz here about Royal regalia. I knew about the crown since long ago.
Johor is also Bugis. And Pahang and Terengganu.
Overpround
WOW i had no idea about what happened to the monarchy of nepal :O that's wild. Glad they're a republic now, though.
I have a personal affinity for the Chinese beaded crown. It's so neat :3 I kinda want a replica to wear around the house lol
We are not happy with stupid republic!
Bring back the sovereign emperor!
Fun fact, my mother is a direct descendant of the royal bloodline of gaya, whats crazy is tgat 1.3 of the population of korea is descended from this bloodline and has begun two clans, the gingas kims, and the gingae heo(pronounced huh). The gays kingdom was eventually absorbed into Shilla and my Mothers clan was guven the rank of true bone royal, and were eligible to marry into the royal family of Shilla. Another fun fact about the shila crown, the symbolism inked to the north in siberia. Those antlers were a symbol of the dragon, the reindeer, or deer, which shows our ties to northern reindeer herding peoles. The part in front represents world tree of and has imagery relating to our deep connection with shamanism/animism, koreas original religion. This is why many think that the shilla kings weren't just royals but also shamans. The aesthetic, is very different from Chinese crowns, and the only other place this style was seen is in the area of iran and afghanistan. The jade gogok symbolized the fruits of the world tree or it's roots. Lastly the mianguan wasn't just worn in China, as later Korean kingdoms adopted Chinese customs, our emporers and kings began wearing the miangwan, especially in goryo, and Joseon.
Peacock Throne.. when you have so many jewels, you'd rather have them all on your blinged out chair.
The photo you showed of Han Dynasty is actually JIN(晉) dynasty
In INDONESIA there are also many kingdoms, One of which is the NGAYOGYAKARTA HADININGRAT (Jogja) SULTANATE. Of course also have a crown. Please discuss it....
The Korean crowns are so pretty!
In addition, the crown of Thailand is the original for the crown in the thai dance performance because the main story is about the main actor and actress who own the city like a king and queen.
