Alexander: My superior length pointy sticks conquered the known world. Temujin (Genghis Khan): I tore through the world like a storm blessed by Tengri. Napoleon: I studied all conquerors and surpassed them all. Gaius Julius Caesar: I built two walls.
Conan gets my vote. He killed the snake lord and destroyed the dreaming god, Dagoth.
Fantastic thank u so much for making and sharing this 😊
Stalin and Hitler learned a lot from them
Did this lady really bring up Trump in an ancient history documentary? Talking about living rent free in your head.
How can she write a book about Julius Caesar and not talk about war? It’s gonna be a pretty empty book..the man is one of the most famous conquerors in history 😂
The Great Man concept of "history" is so saddled with problems, that it is regrettable a channel like this one has such an uncritical attitude towards historiography.
Short hair lady needs to put some more respek on Caesar’s name.
13:18 Caesar was not kind to his enemies. He was pragmatic towards them. When it came to the implementation of state policies, Caesar needed men with mettle who were tested and versed in the art of governance. He could not abandon Brutus and Cassius merely because they opposed him from the beginning. The welfare of Rome came first.
First comment.
For the little I know about Julius Caesar, you did clear up so much. I always thought Brutus killed him, only to find out, which one. Of course there were many that participated also. It’s always best to be kind to everyone and listen to your spouse, dreams and others if warned. As a US citizen I am concerned about our next four years. Love this history lesson, thank you for sharing.
Caesar's narcissism sounds familiar...
So ptolemy was a weasal ?
this girl made me not finish the story bye
Wrong information
The bias of that lady is mwad
32:48 Oh my someone who teaches history through their own political views pfft
Dogmatic history with a angle is something terrible,whata joke
There is very little value in using one’s own modern day beliefs about public morality to judge individuals who lived so long ago and were products of the society they were born into and the culture they grew up in. Of course, Julius Caesar was the most controversial figure in Roman public life towards the end of his. But, to use just one example, accusing Caesar of bribery and using our modern day definition and our collective negative perception of politicians accused of or found guilty of bribery as an indictment against Caesar and Caesar alone is fundamentally flawed. Caesar’s actions are seen by our modern standards as bribery but for Roman politicians in the first century B.C. and for the Roman citizens of the Republic during Caesar’s lifetime his actions would not be considered illegal or criminal or even unusual in any way. The prevailing attitude was that Caesar was demonstrating his ambition and other politicians who were not as successful clearly lacked the drive necessary to win the votes of the Roman electorate. And my favorite example, to use Caesar’s skill as a commander and his success in conquering new territories in the Name of and the benefit for Rome as a valid argument of Caesar’s enemies forgot to mention that any opposition to Caesar’s conquests were from men either jealous of his success and accrual of power and authority for himself or were opponents of what Caesar’s success would mean for other Populares at the expense of the Optimate class.
