iirc from old book- Thucydides knew what Xerxes didn't, that the wind/tide changes at a certain time each morning there and 'roils the waters'; so he lured them out, they couldn't maneuver their ships in the choppy conditions

Great map of the Persian army's long over-land march to reach rebellious Athens. Clearly, a glance at this long and arduous trek indicates that Xerxes should have sent his Persian navy to secure a Greek Island and ferry his army across to a staging area by a direct sea route. Yes troop laden transports would be vulnerable to Greek raiders - but what good is having a superior navy if you don't use it to destroy the enemy fleet?

Even with that many oars and manpower they still could only steer it like what our latest ships can do. Duh !? What happened !? Technology got choked to death for trying to get into maritime industry !? Duh !?

Interesting but would have liked to see more triremes in action, tactics, sea keeping, etc.

Well, that would be an intimidating sound but then again you haven’t heard the Gatling gun of an A-10 coming your way either!

I read that the triremes didn't have seats for the rowers. Instead the rowers sat on a shelf, feet and buttocks at the same level. Their feet were inserted in rope loops and they sat on a fleece pad, which slid forward and aft on the shelf, which was kept greased. This was the secret of their outstanding thrust. In later centuries, the Romans had forgotten this technology. They made their rowers sit on benches. Later, in the middle ages, rowers did their work standing. I have yet to see a movie that gets this right.

That silver could have paid for a rich person’s tax cuts

The beginning of the Iron Age. I've been wondering if Iron Nails might have been a factor. Did the trireme's use iron nails?

Cut out the fucking background noise!!

Should have also mentioned the hypozomata cord

So the Persians are like the Russians, the Greeks are like the Ukrainians, and the triremes are like drones.

Compasses point to Magnetic North, not True North (0:38) the direction to the north pole. The difference between true North and magnetic North shown by a compass is called magnetic variation. The variation is not small, varies a lot across the Earth, and slowly changes with time.

Now someone show me what a quinquereme looked like.

For further details on the 3 tier trireme see the modern built, yes it works, Olympias ua-cam.com/play/PLhEbLksvi_8r5dHwK-89Bab3rxHcAOESI.html

It wouldn't be such a bad idea to go back to a democracy where citizenship is based on service to the state. Not just the military, but also doctors, civil servants, security forces... we would have better politicians if in order to get elected first you have to serve.

There is a parallel between the battles of Thermopylae and Salamis in which a larger force is drawn into a narrow area where the advantage of numbers is greatly diminished and the smaller force can fight nearly or more effectively than their opponent.

Reality needs a hand as some conspiracy hats are denying 3 tiers of oars... they built a 3 tier trireme! It works! ua-cam.com/play/PLhEbLksvi_8r5dHwK-89Bab3rxHcAOESI.html

Not to mention Greek fire which was feared by all seafarers.

Fun fact… the Greek barbarians set back the evolution of human social development by hundred of years and facilitated the spread of demigod kings and the associated social structures which ensure the dominance of a tiny elite who ruthlessly exploit the majority. The Greek version of democracy was discriminatory agains almost 80% of the people who lived in Greek city states.

A study project took place a few years ago to test the trireme concept by actually building one. It proved from a practical engineering point of view to be impossible. It seems that the old illustrations were based on a musunderstanding of the ancient terminology which really meant 3 men to an oar not 3 rows of oars

They did not exist with 3 banks of oars. They had 3 men per oar on a single row.

Again the contribution of 7000 OTHER hoplites is ignored at Thermopylae

A solution for naval warfare well before gunpowder and cannons.

Probably the greatest contribution to open sea navigation as the triangular sail.

I love the book and I admire Harrison

This vi-deo is drivel and piffle and clap-trap: it is created by morons for morons. Earth has NO motion; the North Star is always dead North: the Oceans ALL have sea LEVEL: water does NOT curve; all compasses point NORTH and never South. Flight times Vancouver to Toronto and back are the SAME DURATION each way. Take all the time you need.

YES, truly an overlooked railcar! The ability to transport fruit and produce cross-country using refrigerated boxcars (“reefers”) is a major factor in peoples’ everyday lives by improving their nutritious diets. Thank you for your informative railroad video, and I look forward to future releases. 🚂

Great video, thank you very much , note to self(nts) watched all in it 00:01

This is an excellent narrated video. These steel refrigerator cars are well restored as well as the GE-44 Ton Switcher that pulls the refrigerator cars, I’m glad to have found this video and give it an A+++++. Thank you for posting/sharing.

Thanks!

Cool

Excelent Dokumentation. Revolution brought in 1400 -1500 AD, the socities wellcomed the Innovative idea made not only the money minted but Silent Changeover of society norms with New Existence of Middle Class or Reading Class Who brought dramatic, unbelivable Change in the the Mindset to grow faster than market. This was wrong as certain rules and Regulations of Ethics crushed by oppurtunists as ususal. Now criminal sabtoge activities are being used in Social Media, just for money......Therefore Games Rules for SM are absolutely not only Urgent but also Saving of Society from Disaster. Please think in a broader shape to do something in the best interest of mankind. ALLAH will definately happy to see the improvements in advancement of mankind.

we are in a moment as significant as when the printing press was born, christians freaked out back then as they knew they would lose control of the narrative. Now Bitcoin threatens all their money printing to pay for their wars and their own corporate wealthfare; and they know they will lose control of our privacy (blockchain) so they are freaking out and creating ridicules crisis to justify their current control mechanisms ie CBDC's..

this is the fist comm3nt

Well done.

Lionel produced a neat toy version of the early refrigerator car...in standard gauge! I have the livestock car as well.
