Given what she and her mother went through of course she was going to try to re-establish Roman Catholicism and the connection with Rome quite a bit of England was still room in Catholic and one at this back I applaud her for her wonderful attempts to try to re-establish the Church & to try to undo all the misery that her father and her little brother had put onto her Nation

    The fall of Babylon, especially as depicted in the Bible and other historical sources, is often imagined as a scene of desolation, chaos, and abandonment. Here's a possible depiction of Babylon immediately after its fall: The once-mighty city, known for its towering walls, grand palaces, and the famous Hanging Gardens, lies in ruins. Its once-bustling streets are eerily quiet, with rubble and debris scattered everywhere. The grand temples and ziggurats, once filled with worshippers, now stand abandoned, their massive stone facades cracked and crumbling. Fires burn in the distance, where looters and invaders have set parts of the city alight. The Euphrates River, which once provided the lifeblood of the city, flows silently by, its banks now strewn with broken statues, shattered pottery, and remnants of once-grand structures. The once-vibrant marketplaces are deserted, with overturned carts, scattered goods, and the remains of hurriedly abandoned stalls littering the ground. Cyrus the Great's army, having breached the city's defenses, moves through the city, enforcing order where needed but allowing the chaos of conquest to take its toll. The proud Babylonian nobles, once rulers of the known world, are now either dead, captured, or in hiding. The city's inhabitants, caught between fear and uncertainty, either flee or huddle in their homes, awaiting their fate under new rulers. The sense of an era coming to an end hangs heavily in the air, as Babylon, once a symbol of unmatched power and luxury, faces its tragic downfall.

    • @GeniusHistoryChannel

      It’s like Babylon went from "Best City Ever" to "Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here" in record time! History really knows how to throw a good plot twist. :D As a huge fan of ancient history, especially the great texts of Babylon, I have to ask-are you a copywriter? I really loved your approach!

      Thank you for your comment and for pointing this out. I understand the importance of accurate terminology and the significance of honoring the true names and titles of the Mexican people and their deities. The reason I referred to them as Aztecs in this video is to differentiate from other incredible civilizations in Mexican history, such as the Maya. The term "Aztecs" is often used in historical contexts to specifically highlight this particular legacy within the broader and diverse Mexican heritage. I strive to present historical content with respect and accuracy, so I appreciate your feedback. I will be more mindful of this in future videos to ensure I honor the rich history and culture of the Mexican properly.

    It is very probable that the Tsar didn't order his soldiers to shoot the protestors. We don't know for certain if he did. I doubt it.

      Thank you for your comment! It's true that Tsar Nicholas II and his family were known for their acts of compassion, such as visiting the injured and offering financial support to those affected by the war. These actions reflected their genuine concern for the Russian people. Despite their efforts, the complexities of political and social turmoil during that time overshadowed their acts of kindness.

      I also don't believe that Tsar Nicholas II ordered the shooting, nor do I think he was as harsh on his country and his people as some claim. A family often reflects the character of a person, and the Romanovs were indeed a wonderful example of love and care for each other.
