Ancient Rome - Part 1

[mrtundra45]

@MrMrsteve01 errrm NO.

funny though....

[LaserBeam002]

This has to be from the late early to mid 70s. Possible from the late 60s even.

[psychoscribe13]

[cottageinmons]

the narrator has a HORRIBLE, grating voice, that and the very odd music spoils it

[Pumarisi124]

I can see my history teacher trying to get the film in the projector to run this here film. Finally she goes across the hall to get another teacher to thread the darn thing! Remember??

The background music is archtypical of the Modernist Movement, it had its beginnings in the 1930s, was intrupted by WW2 but which reached a hight of intensity in the Western World from about 1953 to 1965. The so called "Beat Generation" was part of this adventurist time.

[Chansulus]

2:53 bull that guy looks exactly like me on the left.some people look like that other then me right.

[drandydds]

I kind of liked the retro 70's narration and back ground music. It remind me of some documentary I used to see as a kid back in the 70's.

[JAYJAY1000000]

jeez, that documentary is ancient!!

[MrGrafted]

Oh dear.. turn that so called "Music" off already!

[produktXmodelmaking]

Sounds like the Romans discovered LSD as well...

[Pumarisi124]

@produktXmodelmaking LMAO!! I believe you've hit on something big!! : - )

[killthespyder]

lol @ scooby doo, that's so funny man, it does hahahahahaha... just like a cheesy old cartoon. Of course the doo had better music then this lol

[BobbyinPSP1]

The Romans gave us wonderful architecture.

[ObsidianDolphin]

my ears almost exploded

[megatwingo]

The music is hilarious! :)

[bigtoddsmall]

Great video. And the music and narration was excellent. Better than average for sure, with your modern videos with dispassionate voice and background electric guitar music.  This is SO MUCH better than that.

[jamecontent]

the art of spoiling everything

[disamjisa]

Tripping balls.. this audio is messed up

[fredslilje]

Terrible music and annoying voice. A pity, because the topic is so interesting...

[sbbriley]

[Colts4ever123]

To be Roman you had to be Greek, To be Greek you had to be Roman.

[riffraff6259]

i don't mind the voice and the pics are great but the music does not fit at all.although i would love to hear the music alone. i am a musician so i find the music worth hearing.

[AznAstronaut]

gay find a better documentary not pictures music and an annoying old guy talking.

[AnonymousWhitePerson]

Beautiful Homosexual Art!

[ludachris475]

Though it is hard to be critical and objective about Scooby Doo.

[ludachris475]

The music from this creepy and reminds me of a bad episode of Scooby Doo.

[bottomlands]

@ludachris475 There were no bad episodes of scooby doo, just sayin

[stewux]

Is that Graham Chapman on the left at 2.28??

[ludachris475]

The Greek and the Roman civilizations express the two sides of the brain: The Ideal versus the Practical

The theoretical versus the utilitarian

[ludachris475]

This music sounds like the Doors.

[tintindwarf]

When was this made? Definitely 50's-70's, but not sure which decade. I love the cheesy music and that dated voice of the announcer. Awesome!

[medjugorjemir]

Ancient Romans were actually Gypsies so you are all wrong.

[PhaydeRaps]

when was the colleseum finished? what year?

[tecna64]

i think it was 81-83, cause vespasian, who designed it died in 79 and the colloseum was 3/4 finished

[medjugorjemir]

Actually it was finished in 80 AD. It was offcourse modified many times later.

[tecna64]

well i was close, i knew it wasnt finished when Vespasian died

[medjugorjemir]

Yes you were very close.

[skygirl5555]

[ruotze]

History is faulty here! The Latins were already there settled when the "Romans" arrived, most likeley from Athens (the failed athenian invasion of Sicily during the war with Sparta...or from Troy (as Roman history says). The Etruscans were from Anatolia. But to say they came from north of the Alps (Barbarians) is absurd!

[mandangalo18]

you are correct. But were they already called the Latins? If I remember Livy correctly, Lavinium was the name of their territory, and their King Latinus. I have this idea that Aeneas called them Latins in honor of Latinus after his death?

[ruotze]

You may be right. I believe the early "Romans" were Greeks from the failed Sicilian campaign during the war with Sparta, or Trojans (as they themselves believed) because they had to adapt to not only the Latin language, but the Sabine women to create a society. They were primarily soldiers from elsewhere.

[mandangalo18]

I also must point out that Livy himself said he made little effort to demarcate fable from fact because of the difficulty of finding reliable sources of such ancient happenings. He also points out his own unwillingness to check disputes in his sources, even when the authoritative material is easily at his disposal.

And the story of the Sabine women is quite entertaining. Steal the women!

[ruotze]

...but a very unusual practise...they stole them for WIVES, not slaves!

[adecker31]

My God - I felt like I was back in second grade.
