Leonardo Da Vinci - 9of10 (History Channel)

[heucatia]

I wonder how misplaced he might have felt at times for being so ahead of his day and era. Maybe in 500 years we will talk about a Leonardo Da Vinci from the 21st century who once saw it coming long before anyone else would even dare to dream about it.. the new social paradigm that is... a resource based economy. I wonder who that person is going to be, and how misplaced he should feel right now. When people lack the vision they feel insulted and irrationally threatened by those who possess it!

Mona Lisa. I think that he was just in love with her, who ever she was, and her eyes say that she knew it. "He carried the painting for years and he was never quite done with it, the only reason it exists the way it does today is because he died". Who ever the woman was he was in love with her. It was not just about seeking for perfection in art, he could have chosen any other woman, any other face to fixate is artistic restlessness on. Just a theory lol

[GearHeadFisher]

it's not that they wouldn't have worked. he was just ahead of his time and they didn't have gasoline. the only energy providing source he had was humans and we arent strong enought to move a vehicle or create flight. he didnt have the technology, if he lived 50 more years he wouldnt invited the airplane most definately

[kochiyose12]

i dont think thats the actually size of mona lisa

[JAKphoenixify]

it's nice to know that he accepted that if he did'nt go through with an idea somebody someday would...it's a pity it took 500 years into the future to actually realize his goals :o

@nerfdude320 so?

[someonewicked83]

the secret of mona lisa is that she was pregnant

6:09 DeVries has cut his ponytail.

[bigman25plus25]

Ubisoft should be proud for getting so many kids interested in history

[TheWhiteOp]

@bigman25plus25 ya it's interesting to because the characters you kill and the things happening in the era are real (except assassins of course)

[miskee12]

I misheard "Leonardo's breastless mind".

[HistoryLover1550]

Leonardo was a true genius!

[neptuniumforest]

@HistoryLover1550 And a gay one!

[HistoryLover1550]

@neptuniumforest True.

[AIMANALI]

Practicality IS what great thinkers are all about - what is that bearded man talking about .

[TheSchoolWorld]

To all you star wars fans, listen to what Leonardo said at 7:30. "I am inspired by the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough, we must act on it. Being willing is not enough, we must do." Yoda "Do, or do not. There is no try." Leonardo > Yoda.

[WhiteWolfDiving]

Anyone else think that he turned his mind to the body as he got older as his own one was likely to fail him one day and he wanted to understand why. I don't think it had anything to do with a code just a thirst for knowledge and understanding.

[middletech]

This is a great show. But it frustrates me that we can’t see what they are saying in Italian.

[rafaelsot01]

@middletech It's in Italian because Leonardo was Italian, hahahahahahahahahaha

[FreakyFeline88]

@middletech true luckily i do understand italian at 5:27

Da vinci: They say that you lived for 100 years, is it true?

old man:100 years it is not that difficult, I dont feel pain just tired, very tired and weak

[elmontrojc]

@middletech yessss what the fuck is up with that

[tenshinokuragari]

2:10

Funny, I don't remember any broken leg. In fact, Ezio seemed perfectly fine, even after the crash. :P

[TLshadow1997]

@tenshinokuragari he had leg armor

[maxassasin911]

@tenshinokuragari shut the fuck up ezio is not fucking real next thing you know ubisoft is gonna say nazis are templars there are no fuckin templars

[tenshinokuragari]

@maxassasin911 Settle down, honey. It was a joke.

BTW: The Templars were/are a real organisation, and Hitler WAS involved in a "templar" group, so to speak. ;)

[maxassasin911]

@tenshinokuragari the templars were not an organization they were brainwashed christian extremist knights who killed jews and muslim

[JAKphoenixify]

@maxassasin911 finally someone who sees them for who they are!!!

[Fatmango012345]

@tenshinokuragari ezio was fucking amazing thats why

[j0llygr33n]

the fact that the narrator refers to everything da vinci did as a code is fucking retarded. So da vinci was driven, that doesnt mean he has a code. So he wrote backwards, thats still not a code. Inventing a form of primitive communication is a code, such as Morris. Da Vinci Code is a book, nothing more nothing less.

[NikiCookie]

@j0llygr33n

The narrotor means code differently. He means it as a sort of set of rules, feelings and ideas that Leonardo held dearly, and that drove him, he lived by his code.

Legend! &&&&&&&&& Assassin's Creed! :D

I never knew how cool he was :)
