Gold! The History of Man's Greatest Obsession 2

[yay78900]

200 Spanish troops outnumbered 200 to 1 slaughtered 5,000 Incas in half an hour. (5,000/200 = 25/1), so therefore each Spanish soldier killed an average if 25 Incas without injury. Seems like gold ain't worth shit without iron, horses, gunpowder, combat training, and a good immune system.

@yay78900

you know about historical statistics, but do you also know about historical facts that those Spanish had committed crimes against humanity?

[yay78900]

@vincentyeo88 just took those facts from the vid :)... thanks for uploading it... unfortunately the same crimes against humanity are still going on... it's sad how the greedy will hurt and kill for unnecessary objects they think will make them happy when true happiness and security comes from friendship and helping others

[vincentyeo88]

@yay78900

you're most welcome, and thank you for watching this video clip.

yes, the crime against humanity is still going on today, disguised as a war against terrorism.

in those olden days the greed was for gold in the Americas, and today the greed is for oil in the Middle East.

[supersmash43]

Francisco Pizarro was sure a scumbag and he was even more ruthless and cruel than Cortes.

[isobodari1]

gimme that gold  in name of god

[jamspooge86]

One of the saddest chapters in history.. all of these superstitious beliefs and religious nonsense still weigh us down today..

[vincentyeo88]

@jamspooge86

yes, thank you for the thought.

[Amuhia]

And now the spaniards are broke beyond recognition, they trully deserve nothing less.

[vincentyeo88]

@Amuhia

right, what was not theirs would not be theirs.

[TheCAGUY99]

Giving an opinion on a religion by judging  on the people...

[gianni90640]

Spain use the bible to attack incas just for gold

[vincentyeo88]

@gianni90640

any mighty European country during that period of time would have done just that.

it was obsessive greed for gold.

[vladbcom]

Haha even the idiot indians figured out the bible's worth shit

[portraitphenomenon]

the peru people of today should gather and fight against spain on a quest for all their gold back.

[themustang181]

Thank you!! @mechakameleon

[MechaKameleon]

I hate how so many "Christians" make Christianity look so bad. I've seen true Christians, and they are so different than what is usually portrayed in the media. People are crazy, and they will always be crazy, but stereotyping something when you know so little about it is just plain wrong.

[Gary500]

A common tale of the white man: pretending to use peace to approach other cultures which value trust, all the while plotting their demise

[TheGrandmarquisv8]

thank you Spain! :-(

[williameva]

so sad

[themustang181]

This is themustang1900 on a new account btw

[themustang181]

@atrayu90602 who you're talking about are hypocrites... not Christians. You're right about a lot of people using Christianity as an excuse for their actions, ex. the people who bombed the abortion clinics... People always see the bad parts of things, though... Like the "Christian" extremists. The news really helps by pushing negative stories on us without telling us the good side. If I may ask, what turned you away from christianity in the first place? Something specific?

[atrayu90602]

how it was used to keep the poor in fear. To remain in power. Used it justify war.... Killing almost all the Native Americans and taking their home from them.... Taking Afriacans from their homes to become slaves here. Hitler used the Christian faith to kill jews.... Today christians use it to keep the Homosexauls in their place. If you wanna be a Christian... Great... But don't start trying to tell me right from wrong when through out history the christian faith has been used for selfishness

[translationwiz]

What is it w/this shiny yellowish metal? Even on the other side of the ocean-they value this otherwise insignificant metal/rock. You cant run cars off of it; nor ovens , it just shines. Coal should be worth more than gold. At least it will heat your home. Humans are sooo vain.

paz/peace/salam/shalom

[vincentyeo88]

@translationwiz

if you have some spare time, go search for Zecharia Sitchin's work about those Annunakis who'd mined gold on earth for their use.

[AlexanderHarcourt]

@translationwiz Gold is money fool. Can you trade gas for a shirt or food? Try bringing in a gas canister to a store or a pile of coal and see how that works out. Or store that stuff in your garage and prey there isnt a fire. People are starting to figure out gold and silver are the only real money thats why they are flooding into them. I hope you figure it out soon.

[SY0385]

@translationwiz Im sorry but your statement leads me to believe that your such an Idiot, you have no Idea that Gold is used in Items we use everyday, 1 example is the Home computer, ever hear of that, the PC.

Read more pal its good for ya

[cybiria2000]

@translationwiz some cars or future cars will not run without gold. golds dont just shine, your computer will not run if no gold in some of its parts.too bad you did not researched about gold before you commented haha

[secondnatureaquarium]

@cybiria2000 too bad about your grammar

[mg03nma]

@translationwiz

Something doesn’t have to be of use to be of valuable.

If a group suddenly decided that a certain type of plant was valuable. Maybe because they had to give them as taxes. You know, make-belief problems and creating a culture revolving around servitude and deadlines. To have something to do besides eating and fucking. Or to keep others picking flowers while a few unload their balls in everything and eat most of the food. You know, because his dad "owned" the land...

[SuperBluehaze]

@translationwiz

you forget one thing my friend, gold is rare and beautiful. Status; it is a crazy world I agree.

[atrayu90602]

I hate the Christian Faith.... Its childish and stupid !!!! Most people use the bible to justify thier own motives...Usaully self serving ones...Christians are the real EVIL.

Self-Rightous to its core!!!!!

[johtor666]

I agree. Religion is the root of most evil !

[themustang1900]

@atrayu90602 and where do you get your idiotic wisdom? have you interviewed "most Christians"? what makes you think we use the Bible to justify our self serving motives? pretty much everything Jesus says in the new Testament is instructing us to be self LESS. every group has it's extremists, look at yourself, most non-christians aren't christian HATERS. that makes YOU an extremist. in this case the roman-catholics from spain are extreme and ARE using their Christianity as an excuse to...

[themustang1900]

@atrayu90602 continued... enslave people that they consider lesser beings. but what Christianity teaches is love and kindness. something i think you could use a little more of. visit a church and find out.

[atrayu90602]

@themustang1900 : "idiotic wisdom" Okie dookie.

I know many Christian people... I wouldn't say they are "all" childish or self-serving.

I have been to church & even Bible study I believed or thought I was a Christian for awhile. And your right, my thoughts were a bit radical... But true on many levels.... I found many people in the Christian faith lacking knowlege of it's history in regaurds to the evil / self-serving people who used it to gain power and wealth

[MeistroMac91]

@atrayu90602 Just because the spaniards used the bible in a bad way it doesnt mean that all christian ppl are bad. That being said you are stereo typical and biased also. Stereotyping is racism's ugly cousin. They are obviously gonna go to hell because one comandment in the bible is thou shall not kill, and they obviously contradicted themselves. Little do you know atheism is a big contradiction too, I pretty much found out scientific proof. Bad mouth the ppl but not my religion and not god.

[infrenis]

malditos espanoles de mierda

[rabisrabis]

@infrenis no. espanoles muy bien. mucho bien. te amo espanoles con todo mi corazon

[flubno]

Nowadays christians are losing ground, these middle ages christians wold be considered stone age and sub human in todays terms.

[carolinaanilorac]

when they say christian, do they mean it ... as roman catholic christian?

[vincentyeo88]

right, i think you have the answer.

Christians include Roman Catholics.

[elasetti]

History is always full of greedy and barbarous people . verdaderos brutos !!!!!

[DeeHong]

I don't think it's just history, it's also today too where there's many greedy people :(

[elasetti]

History is yesterday and today and it repeat always .we are human too human .

[jimmyjmv]

Catholics believe that the Pope (someone who decided to divide South-America between Portugal and Spain) is who represents Jesus in the earth, isn't it? ha, ha, ha if it was so, I wouldn't like to be a Christian. If Spanish had been Christian they would have behaved as Christians once they came to America. Inca's Empire and their people were wiser and more pacific than Spanish, absolutely.

[EUsuperstate]

Wow jimmyjmv! you are so ignorant! learn history. To the europeans christians the native americans were pagans and not worthy of existence, they were sub-human to the europeans.

[jimmyjmv]

Wow, 'EUsuperstate' you are so ignorant!, you think that Christian is a person who belongs to an organisation, but Christian is a person who follows Jesus' teachings. Think about that and don't misunderstand such concept.

[EUsuperstate]

I know you are trying to sound smart but you are just contradicting yourself. First let us establish that a Christian can be both definitions you've stated. Secondly Jesus' (Christian) teachings said you should not kill a man, right?

But here is the twist, not only did the conquest of the Americas by Spain took place from the late 15th up until the early 17th century where brutality was common EVERYWHERE, BUT since the Indians were pagans they weren't considered HUMAN

[jaycer90210]

As what the story told, Spaniards made to believe that they want to spread the Christianity but the true motive was to get gold. That is not Christianity though.

[EUsuperstate]

Some Spaniards wanted gold, others wanted to spread the catholic faith and others wanted to serve their Kings, others just wanted to do all three of them. Learn history.

[atrayu90602]

A lot of Christian people are full of it!

I am sick to death of their B.S.

[Klankumz]

@atrayu90602 HAHAHA- A lot of EVERY kind of people are full of it. I guess if there was a faith that goes online and says that a type of people are ALL the SAME when they don't even know what they are saying would be cool huh? Fuckin moron. Rethink your life bitch.

[atrayu90602]

@Klankumz : Have a diet coke and shut the fuck up. IDIOT.

[Klankumz]

@atrayu90602 Go eat a fuckin dick and rejoin manudo. hahaha

[6U4RD1AN]

@EUsuperstate you are wrong,don´t call others ignorant if you don´t know a shit, the posesion of a soul by the natives was debated in Spain, and agreed, all the natives were considered spanish people, its explotation has to be done by legal tricks (encomiendas), its esclavitude was prohibited. the inferiority of the natives its an anglo-saxon thing.

[DouglasEdward84]

I thinbk the Pope represents God on earth not simply Jesus

[jimmyjmv]

...so such kind of 'God' forgot to let man the ability to choose if he wants to follow Him or not, He used to do so and Jesus behaved in than way.

[atrayu90602]

The Pope is the fucking Devil on Earth and his Followers are Shit!

[DouglasEdward84]

I am actually an atheist as well, I was merely referencing the context of the Pope within the Catholic system

[atririshi]

Spanish are the most fascist people on this plannet worse than the germans. they are sub human creatures, following the false faith and doing all sorts of atrocities on people of other race in name of religion. they were and are jihadis and fascist terrorist

[vincentyeo88]

you might have some records from history that most of us haven't known about, and you're entitled to your own opinion and belief.

[sergeantgunns]

I agree dude. The catholic chuch are the same as well, killing of countless millions of innocent muslims during the 3thd crusade.

[6U4RD1AN]

you said:"Spanish are the most fascist people on this plannet ","they are sub human creatures". who is the fascist? Besides apply the term fascist to people of the XVI century is a litle...

[pimporro]

@atririshi ... and Custer is a heroe.

[ccmod1937]

great video
