    Fun fact about Pepi II: He became king of Egypt at age 6, and died at age 100. (Making him the longest reigning monarch in history, 94 years (disputed).)
    Another one: He hated flies so much, he covered his slaves and guards in honey so as to make flies go bother them instead of him.

      @Hernando Malinche Thing is, nobody expected back then that things would spiral out of control THAT badly. Most expected a short, decisive war. It's just that in the previous decades a series of co-dependent military alliances were made, which is turn kick off a domino effect and through everyone in Europe being someone else ally and rival, soon everyone was in on it. And by then, every nation was too deep into their propaganda and coffers to justify a peace treaty without some significant gains... which didn't happen for a long time, since trench warfare became the norm.

    The most impressive one for me was number 40. He lived for 107 years and reigned for 70 years. Which means he came to power when he was either 37 or in his early 20s and gave up his power later when he was old. If he would be king his whole life, starting from birth or before he was 10, like the most of them here in this video, he would have reign the longest ^^

      Can we really call "reigning" a markgraf's (or a count's, or a prince's) ruling of a "country" the size of a big farm? Whose "palace" would not be judged decent to accomodate Louis XIV's horses? Lots of them in this list. The Almanach de Gotha (Gothaischer Hofkalender) did a lot to overevaluate german nobility, but let's not blind ourselves: a squire is not a king, and reign by no means.

    85. Hirohito (1901 - 1989), 124th Emperor of Japan, 63 years reigned.

    • @genericpersonx333
      @genericpersonx333 4 роки тому +249

      It is debatable because the Monarchy of Japan is both constitutional and non-constitutional in nature. By tradition, the non-constitutional aspect, Hirohito was the Emperor, by virtue of direct lineage dating back to antiquity, from 1926 to 1989. However, Japan created some legal complications in 1868 when they added a layer of Constitutionalism with the Meiji Restoration. Technically, the Emperor assumed a new title, Emperor of the Empire of Japan, that had not legally existed before the Constitution of 1868. Internationally, it is this title that Hirohito assumed in 1926, not simply his title of Emperor as per Japanese tradition. Where it gets even more complicated is that in 1947, the Empire of Japan was formally dissolved, its constitution replaced by a new one, and so technically, the Emperor of the Empire of Japan ceased to be, because the state it represented ceased to be. Hirohito assumed a new title, Emperor of the State of Japan, which he held until 1989. Thus, if you count his monarchical title as Emperor per Japanese tradition only, he held that single title for 63 years. However, if you track his titles through the constitutional thrones he sat upon, he only held one title for 21 years and then another for 42 years.
      However, all that said, it can be argued that because of certain treaties made before the Meiji Restoration of 1868, foreign powers such as China, Britain, and Portugal had formally recognized the title of Emperor (as per Japanese tradition) as a legal entity, and therefore the Constitutional thrones are just legal constructs of little relevance.
      So Hirohito could be considered to have held three different titles of Emperor: one he held continuously between 1926 and 1989. Another he held only from 1926 to 1947. The last was only from 1947 to 1989.
      I can see why the channel declined to include him because lawyers just have to ruin everyone's fun.

      @@miftahazuhri2797 no bro what I said is according to Vedas. Just like what the book of Gilgamesh says.
      According to Vedas Ravana was alive before the great floods and even thousands of years after the floods.
      Their are only 2 timelines which match each others .
      That's the Vedic timeline and timeline of Kings in the Epic of Gilgamesh.
      Both start with Kings ruling about a lakh years and then end to normal human lifespan like 88 then 58 then 38 and so on.
      Those Kings who fall in this timeline of less than 100 years are accepted but those above 100 aren't because we humans of today think that humans weren't developed than us in the past.
      All Vimanas according to us are just fantasy all science behind them the aerodynamics all is fantasy.
      Most stories on google are made up so are all timelines because they think the world was created around 4004BC
      The oldest Hindu God was discovered not in India but in Italy that too 8000 years ago .
      The Fact Ravana is said to have fought about 36 Kings of the same dynasty.
      Now even if we say that one king ruled for about 25 years then 36×25 still makes it 900 years and it's believed all Kings then ruled for about 10000 years also Ravana was a demon and not a human so it may be possible for a demon to do something like that

    Funny story is, his brother was waiting for Taejo to pass away so he could take the reign (Taejo had no heir) but since Taejo wasn't dying, the brother, at age 75, rebelled and Taejo simply gave up his throne. They both died in the same year.
