[slicklando]

[albrjea1]

Thank u guys for the info! I got an a on my test!

[pucksterz12]

Would be fun to go back the this period in a time capsule to experience how they lived, but I would need the ability to leave instantaneously as I would probably be accused of being a witch or sorcerer and quickly be executed. These people were all insane by todays's standards.

[asabovesobelow90]

@pucksterz12 not quite, that happened until Christianity was forced upon them...

it doesn't matter how civilized a country might be, introduce religion and you will completely destroy them...

[dw13371]

@asabovesobelow90 Salvation was accepted by the people, you mean. Jesus keeps us free of the law of republic / Moses. "In God we trust". Magna Carta 1297

[asabovesobelow90]

@dw13371 oh c'mon.. don't keep spreading lies!

Christianity was forced upon the people, that was a political move of course..

that's why they kept some of the ancient gods but replaced their original name with a disgusting hebrew one..

that's why most non catholic christians see catholicism as a pagan religion..

if you're European have some self-respect.

Christianity will never be an European religion.

Sic transit gloria mundi 

[GLOWoftheABYSS]

This part should be seen first



[talkindurinthemovie]

this better make me pass my test

[PalleRasmussen]

@talkindurinthemovie Studying is what makes you pass. READING BOOKS! Lazybody.

[foxfire1112]

Lol I love how at 8:27 he is talking with his hands but it doesnt match what he is saying. Great documentary I like the music

[Lablover1245]

so coooooool

[jaswinder133]

i no right how do 2 people make city

[danielharmonizer]

@jaswinder133 Many people speculate that a group of Greeks migrated, and over time founded the city of Roma, albeit with the leadership of 2 brothers. And of course you can read about the rape of the Sabines to figure out how they ensured they had enough women to begin a vast civilization.

[stephentsang2000]

How the hell on earth could a city be built by 2 persons? Where did the population came from?

[yumagetbullet]

@stephentsang2000 Rome was more of a village at the start and any village is started by few people. The city you live in most likely started when few people started building Houses close to each other.

[stephentsang2000]

@yumagetbullet

Rome was a "village" with a few people? Then it's not a city! The 2 persons were simply building a village.

[yumagetbullet]

@stephentsang2000 Almost none city is a city at first. All Cities start from few houses. isn't that logical..

[stephentsang2000]

@yumagetbullet

But their original intention was not to build a city then.

[yumagetbullet]

@stephentsang2000 they were the founders of a city. Romulus and Remus is only a legend after all.

[LaserBeam002]

I have always wondered why Rome didn't move further into Africa than they did. Yeah, I know they ran into deserts but they could have easly carried enough water and food. In another documentary it was said Rome didn't like to get out of an area that would not support olives and Grapes. In other words, they had a hard time dealing with strange environments they didn't understand.

[Azazel3825]

@LaserBeam002

At the turn of the 19th century, far more was known in Europe about North America than Africa. It was still known as the "Dark Continent". The various tribes of Africa were incredibly hostile, the wildlife was as well, and disease was endemic. Any legions sent South of Egypt would have perished.

[Azazel3825]

@LaserBeam002

You say they could easily carry enough water and food. That is, no offense, absolute ignorance. Imagine the logistics involved with procuring water for tens of thousands of men in an environment that is as large as the United States where you need to drink 2 liters an hour to survive. I'm talking about the Sahara Desert, the largest and least hospitable desert on Earth. To venture further into Africa would have meant crossing it.

cloaca maxima...maximum rectum or maximal fecal pouch....

[Pumarisi124]

Rome was a melting pot of peoples just as the U.S.A. began as.

[largesatsuma]

@Pumarisi124 The USA didn't begin as a melting pot. The vast majority of original American people were of English descent. The Founding Fathers probably spoke with English accents. Only later did people from the rest of the world come.

[AlexiusMoore]

@largesatsuma sorry have to disagree. America was a melting pot, Dutch,French, English, Irish, Spanish, italian scandanavian and many others, but the founding farthers very likely did speak with an English accent

[antzinn79]

For the love of god don't drink the water!!!! lol!

[CrystalClaritySan]

They didn't say anything about the Sabine women!

[2manynegativewaves]

@CrystalClaritySan Let me tell you bout them sabine women,they lived in pre roman days,it seemed they all went swimmin when their men folks was aways........then along came some civilised romans and raped the bejezus out the women and made them virtual slaves............I so want to hear Howard Keel sing it like it was :)

[Funkisbunk]

The entire birth of Rome is a myth that Livy decided on. To suggest that the Romans were so accepting from their beginning is completely ridiculous and not to mention the fact that their later history is largely a story of how intolerance caused conflict.

[dessert57]

ROME rocks! period. :)

[pagola]

fuk rome they got this from egypt and carthage....history written by those who win

[johnnyjolijt]

The music is too loud...

[NorthForkFisherman]

The city of Rome had a population over 1 million. The aquaducts, sewers, and Roman organization made all this possible. After the fall of Rome in the 5th Century CE, this would not be matched in the West until London of the 1800s. Not bad for a city born of cutthroats and outcasts, eh? But more than anything else, what survives is the IDEA of ROME!

[GuitarJackson213]

If history repeats itself, we are all in a lot of trouble!

[jonnyrisas]

just amazing how much technology these guys developed.....such a long time ago

[cyanidepill1]

just imagine drinking from that drainage system

[2brotherproductions7]

@cyanidepill1 lol i was just thinking that

[LMFAOModders]

I LOVE PORN! LLOLOLOLOLOL

[Daysleepin]

@cyanidepill1 True but in the early days with small populations it probably matter little.

However at some point when the populace got to big is what no doubt gave rise to deadly plagues and diseases. Tho many at that time may have thought it the wrath of God. As in today's world when it comes to aids

[kotapaka]

@cyanidepill1 why would you do that? unless you are a complete idiot or mentally retarded.

[SuperRaja1993]

@cyanidepill1 sound gross



[Minecraft54545]

@cyanidepill1 That would be discusting

[johnjosephabrenica]

[SuRihtanil]

@cyanidepill1 probably better than most 3rd country water sources of today. lol

[halcyonspiral]
