@angelloveshistory22 I actually did one about Lincoln's grandfather awhile back. Right now I'm reading a book about Daniel Boone, and it turns out he led Lincoln's grandfather through the wilderness to Kentucky.
Hiya, lots of interesting subjects :) You don't realise how much Roman culture permeates our society today for instance the term 'jurisprudence' was still used when I got my degree in 1996 I remember a student being awarded this at the degree ceremony. Glassblowing a Roman technique and also a traditional trade for many years where I live not far from the Roman Wall. These Romans were a clever bunch! luv Mitsy x
@Caecarulf Actually I already did. I made one called 'Finding Atlantis' about a year and a half ago. National Geographic had a new special out last month with the same title -and we have very different ideas about it. Check it out here:
@tokarski21 I agree but only to some agree. I think that with the way things run thats exactly what will happen, when it does, I think people may be more happy. I miss the old ways :(
@travelerman3 You are right. There are many useful 'old ways' of doing things that we'd be better off doing again. I remember getting mustard plasters when I was sick as a child, and as a parent didn't know how to prepare one for my children. And dried urine is supposed to make wool feel much softer.
Thank you for this video and also for the rest of them that you produced. I truly enjoyed each of your presentation. It is very educational and informative. Keep up the wonderful work.
I had forgotten how fabulous are your reports, which makes historical facts available to the "generally uninterested masses" of uncultivated people... Congratulations, my friend, and please keep up such a valid, excellent work!
That was fun....what about Spartacus who led the slave rebellion 2 thousand years ago in Rome? E gads nothing has changed.Thanks for sending me this.How did you know I might like it?
Fascinating subject, ancient history is great and I've got to say I learned lots of new stuff from this video. On anothwer note I recently got a book on the battle of Teutoburgerwald. Thanks for posting!
@tokarski21 Really, this is so inovative and imaginative and in the same time accurate and informative on new way of teaching history... You could sell this idea to TV hehe :D really great... and bravo.. :)
@CroPETROforever Thanks Daniel. You know, I really would like to sell the idea and make it my life's work, but I've found that is not so easy. No one (besides wonderful viewers like you) seems interested, and I don't even have many views - but that hasn't discouraged me, and I truly enjoy doing it and will continue to do so. Take care, and I'm sure we will talk again.
@tokarski21 Don't let that discourage you, views will be higer with time, you will (I'm sure in this) get so called "big-bang" of views in your video when your videos gets known for their originality... don't worry... I know "nature" of youtube very well :) you too take care :)
Absolutely brilliant, like nothing else on the internet. Also relevant is how fascinated I am by the Roman Empire.
You have created something close to "You Are There", on CBS decades ago, in which Walter Chronkite introduced historical events portrayed by actors. "You Are There" helped lead to my great interest in world history, differently offered by "Intrepid Berkeley Explorer" travel videos and stills, plus over 400 clips on YouTube.
@intrepberkexplorer I remember'You Are There' from my early TV days - thanks. I didn't dress in period clothes because in all my other 'History Headline' episodes each news item is from a different time, and I want people to relate it to today. Also, I don't have the wardrobe.
Want to see the world? Report to the nearest Legion recruiting station near you. Not a Roman Citizen? No problem, long service has the possibility of citizenship and advancement beyound your station.
hmmm very original and funny format. I wouldf maybe downplay some of the audio effects (not the music, more the swisches and swhoozes..) they kind of "fox-business-news" the viewing experience... apart from that minor minor detail, I enjoyed this video a lot. Thank you very much :)
I was just thinking about your vids and thinking "I wonder if he'll ad some new ones soon" Its kinda weird but I'm still really happy you added a new one!
That is no exaggeration about the importance of olive oil. In Greek mythology, several deities were contending for the naming rights to one of the great city-states, and offered the citizens various gifts in exchange. Posiedon, for instance, offered the horse. But, because she offered them the olive tree, the people named their city for Athena, thus Athens.
@MonMccool123 Stale urine was used as a cleaning agent for clothing for many, many years by most cultures. Works something like vinegar. I assume the stink goes away after it dries.It was against the law to throw away your urine in some places. You had to leave it in a bucket by your front door for the "urine collector."
Good work on the Roman edition.Let us not forget that this week in 1775 the American rebel Patrick Henry gave a moving speech in front of the House of Burgess at St. John's Chruch in Richmond,VA.In it, he spoke in favor of massing the militia to fight of the British, saying "Give me liberty or give me death".With the trouble in New England as of recent,this speech will influence the Sons of Liberty drasticlly.
@meshyis I heard about it awhile back,but I don't know more than I've read about on-line. For me, something like the New Chronology helps validate what's already known, but I do like hearing other perspectives that go against the grain of current thought. Keeps you thinking.
@meshyis Yeah, it can confuse me. Of course, in my case that's not too hard to do. I hear something different, look it up, read a little, think about it, and either make up my mind or try to find out more. I'm not a scientist or a historian, so I don't take it personal - but I do like to believe I've got it right before I put it out on youtube.
@kattaylordesign Yeah, I wanted to change it up a bit - looking at the year 11 as we work our way through 2011. It actually took a lot of work, and I'll be back to the old format next edition. Thanks.
Really enjoy the format of your videos..lol
