    Well done. I appreciate so much that you actually narrate your videos instead of using an A.I voice. All those lives in such a relatively short period of time. Puts things into perspective for sure.

      IT IS ABSOLUTELY. I WRITE IT SOW SOW FOR ENGLISH SPEAKERS. JUST WATCH MANDARIN LANGUAGE DRAMA AND YOU CAN HEAR THEM SAY HIS NAME CLEARLY. ALL C'S ARE SOFT C'S. Q MAKES THE CH SOUND LIKE QIN = CHIN. CAO CAO = SAO SAO. SUN QUAN = SUN CHUAN. BUT CH IS STILL CH SOUND. THE TRANSLATIONS ARE A BITCH ESPECIALLY WITH THE OLD WADE-GILES SPELLINGS (CAO CAO = TS'AO TS'AO) COMPARED TO THE NEWER PINYIN SPELLING DIFFERENCE IS A REAL PAIN.

      @captainmurphy4720 This is why I'm always hesitant to cover Chinese history. No matter how well I try to prepare, always criticism, LOL I can't win so likely won't cover too much more in future.

    Doubt the Greeks were only 40k at Plataea, Sparta basically took every single helot to the fight, combined with the other greek forces like the Athenians etc their numbers should be closer to the remaining Persian army.
