Puppet history is probably some of the greatest content we'll ever know in our lifetime. The song's at the end of each episode are the epitome of catchy and clever, as well as the rest of the show is just pure brilliance.
By the way, one of the main reasons Rome had a bitchin' army was because they treated their troops REALLY well. Not only was it considered a very respectable job with generous pay, but the families were also compensated since the working men were gone at war. In short, Rome had a poppin' VA. I'm a hoe for ancient rome because of how effiencent and organized it was.
@@oliviathompson3271 that's Sparta you're thinking of, enlisting was optional in Rome, which is why it had so many promising returns for the soldiers; in some points in roman history military service was rewarded with land (I *want* to say Caesar did this but I might be thinking of some consul before him) , which was pretty much the most valuable thing you could get. True, those lands were usually on regions conquered by the army and, double true, conquered regions had a nasty tendency for undergoing uprisings (in which case being one of the people directly responsible for taking over their land wasn't exactly the best thing in the world), but even so, if you took the military career in Rome you *could* go from begging for food and change to owning your own little farm with your family living nearby your best friends for your retirement in some 20 to 40 years of service. That was very alluring.
you know what ppl keep saying Shane's possessed and stuff but nobody ever mentions how Ryan just casually said he'll murder his neighbour or Shane in some episodes, like the voodoo ep and the one where they were talking about having a zombie face.
Dude we don't talk enough about how creative, detailed and invested Shane is in producing, especially in anything related to history. Seriously. 1rst ruining history now Puppet History, and he always puts so much detail and effort into what he makes. You can tell he really enjoys it. Love you Shane
For any history nerds, Caesar allowing Vercingetorix to be strangled was still an honor. At the time, it was seen as the best most honorable/respectable way of execution. It was clean, with no blood, and allowed for proper burial after death.
Decanus Gaius Publius Being quick was only part of it, albeit still a part! Strangulation was usually kept for powerful/influential leaders as far as I know, making it all the more "honorable" death.
@@insanatty Ikr. So many shows take inspiration from actual events. Truth is stranger than fiction. Go pick a history book, people, there's comedy, drama, action and a lot of pain.
Sara, most swords at this time had a rounded tip which wasn't that great for stabbing. The Roman Gladius had a V-shaped tip, which made it so superior compared to other swords of its time in the stabbing arena.

@ 15:30 Shane is actually right in calling them missiles. They were definitely using more than just arrows, lots of javelins and rocks got slung around in medieval skirmishes. Pretty much any lethal projectile was a missile. It's why the term is used as it is today.
Um this wasn't set in the period history considers medieval, that is seen as the point after the fall of the western Roman empire. But you are right about the missiles for Romans, archery was used by some people that made up auxillary forces of the Romans others used slings, the legionaries themselves used javelins called pilla at this time

Christine C. They did leave, but they’re still doing Unsolved as freelancers. Shane has a show similar to Ruining History calmed Puppet History and it’s great! There are also wacky songs
Um what war crimes with the exception of vercingetorix in Caesar’s triumph (parade) everything the Romans did on the brutality front was fairly standard in that time (including the execution at the end)
Gauls invaded Rome in 390 BC and killed 100,000's, Hannibal from Carthage invaded Rome in 232 BC and killed 1,000,000 people, men, women and children. War on both sides was horrific. In 112 BC Germans and Celts invaded Rome and wiped out 4 Roman Armies and killing 100,000's before General Marius was recalled from Africa to fight them. Tell the whole story, the whole truth, or not at all.
I can’t wait for history to quote us too. Instead of “The wariness and energy of that bogeymen are terrifying” we would be quoted saying “my boi was fucking crazy”
Ryan saying he would kill his neighboor to get an extra bedroom... Yeah and he would spend every night thinking about the ghost he just created until he turns insane.

I-Am-Not-A-Robodt He was balding and vain about it. Caesar was given a laurel wreath for his accomplishments on the battlefield, and began wearing it all the time, as it covered some of the bald spots. The depictions, thus, could make him appear as having more hair due to the wreath. Another explanation could be that if he were vain about the baldness, he might have instructed artists to depict him as having hair in his portrayals (this part, however, is only speculation)
Shane, I'm both a librarian and a historian and I got your back in this whole missile-gate thing. Missile - from the Latin word "missilis" meaning "that may be thrown", so if you throw something or propel something through the air, it's a missile. Arrows definitely count. #micdrop
Because while very entertaining, it´s not very accurate. Some things are oversimplified and some, frankly, pulled out of thin air, like that boner story. Not hating, I love these videos, but please don´t take the content for accurate information, i.e. to study. You´ll have a lot of questions about your sources otherwise :)
lyra Amethyst ikr he's funny but also doesn't get off track... If he does he quickly redirects himself and everyone else back to the subject at hand. He keeps it real AND he brings cute little diagrams
As someone who studies ancient history and languages I am really happy you finally picked up a something like this. You've also made a really good job in simplifying the events but still stay true to history and show both sides.
@@xakirax_8864 The quote is more often translated as "every man's woman and every woman's man." It's saying that he slept with a lot of women as a "top" with men as a "bottom." Sex between two men was only okay with the Romans with respect to whomever was "topping," i.e., whomever took the role of the "man" during intercourse. The bottom was seen as lesser because he allowed himself to be "feminized." The Romans were heavily patriarchal and by extension misogynistic. For a man to allow himself to take the passive role in sex was to admit to being less than a man (the Latin word for man is *vir* ). Gender roles were immensely important to the Romans, and so a man's masculinity meant everything to him. A man who was not a man was worthless, he was not *virtuous* The spelling of that word isn't an accident: virtue to the Romans (virtutis) was synonymous with manliness. The fact that Caesar got away with bottoming speaks volumes; the masses loved him so much that even scandals like this could not touch him. TL;DR: Roman men could sleep with women and men alike, but they *had* to "top" when having sex with either lest they be disgraced. Caesar only got away with bottoming because he was Caesar.
@Badr -eddin It's usually best to assume that most Greeks and Romans were what *we* would refer to as "bi." I emphasize the *we* because the Romans themselves didn't really have a word for homosexuality. As I said in my previous comment, the emphasis was placed on dominance (i.e. masculinity) and submissiveness (i.e. femininity). They had a term for lesbians, which translates into english roughly as "those who rub," but that's it. Roman men would actually enforce their dominance over other men by having sex with them, or by subjecting them to submissive sex. In other words, by raping them. I don't know how familiar you are with the poet Catullus, who actually lived around the same time as Caesar, but in poems 16, and 21, among others, explicit sexual threats are made by Catullus against two men, Aurelius and Furius in Catullus 16, and against Aurelius alone in Catullus 21. In the former he threatens to sodomize them and, for lack of a better term, facef##ck them for making fun of his sensitive poems: "pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo." And in Catullus 21, he threatens to facef##ck Aurelius again ("irrumare") if he (Aurelius) slept with Catullus' boyfriend Juventius. Catullus not only wrote about his boyfriend Juventius, he also wrote about his girlfriend Lesbia. This wasn't uncommon is what I'm getting at, I'm just using Catullus as an example. Also, just for clarification purposes, Lesbia's name, which is actually not the woman's real name, as she's believed to have been Clodia, the famous Roman socialite, has nothing to do with lesbianism, i.e., the modern term for love between two women, the name Lesbia is derived from the island of Lesbos, which is in Greece. Tl;dr: yes, Julius Caesar was probably bisexual, which was perfectly common and perhaps even normal in the ancient Greco-Roman world.
Fun Fact: The term barbarian was used, at the time, by the romans to refer to basically anyone who didn't come from the roman empire. It basically just meant foreigner
The gladius was short and lightweight enough to be easy to stab into your opponent. Longer swords you have to swing. And Rome was able to mass produce good weapons for their soldiers, an impressive feat given Rome fell 1600 years before the Industrial Revolution.
@@elliotgregory3356 I know this reply is a year late, but the testudo was used only to repel incoming enemy missiles. Honestly, many things were failed to be mentioned in the video, but it’s understandable. Vercingetorix was strangled and although no one knew who strangled him, he was strangled during the parade as it was a tradition for Roman Generals bringing home their captured enemy leader to do.
@@elliotgregory3356 the Gladius worked so well with the Romans and was effective because of the Roman’s tactics and equipments. Specifically the rectangular shield they carried, the scutum. Similar to a Greek phalanx, a Roman cohort would move as one, shoulder to shoulder and their shield locked besides one another. The enemies get close, and the weapon that was more special than the gladius I am sad they didn’t mention, was the pillum, which was a Roman javelin mass produced for every legion to carry about three of them. What’s special about these javelins is that they ain’t normal spears for throwing. Their real purpose was to be thrown and pierce the enemies shield and the head of the pillum would be thin enough to bend, but not break, having the heavy shaft of the javelin weigh the shield down, making the enemy either drop their shields or fight inefficiently. Being killed by the pillum was just a plus one.
@@elliotgregory3356 what’s more important to note is that the Roman’s are basically like this statement. “I’ll copy your homework, but I’ll get a higher score than you.” Most of what the Romans had were all stolen, inspired, or borrowed.
@@padawanofconfusion5954 super big in the UK too, we love Asterix and Obelix? Edit: wait I suppose we are also France’s neighbours tbh, if you don’t mind the channel in the way
I think the main lesson we should all take from this is: "Getting stabbed by a sword is bad for your health". Thanks Ryan for this new and insightful information :D
Kinda correct, Barbarians were what the Romans called non-Roman/Latin and non-Greeks/Hellenistic folk. And once rome invaded the gauls, they were no longer called Barbarians since they became part of the roman civilization.
Barbarian was originally the Greek word for people who were not Greek/didn't speak Greek (though Greece wasn't unified at the time), before the Romans took the word and changed it to mean 'uncivilised' people who are neither Greek nor Roman.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, it was sort of pejorative since it the word originated from the bahh-bahh bleating of sheep, so basically, barbarians were a bunch of lowly animals.
"Like Nebraska, it's just a big ol' hunk of land. There's nothin' there." Me, a Nebraskan: haha well excuse you buddy because we got *_C_* *_O_* *_R_* *_N_*
You missed the aftermath of the war when Caesar could not conquer a particular Gaulish village in Amorica because a druid was brewing magic potions to the village warriors.

Are we going to ignore the fact that Caesar was described as bald yet every depiction of him had hair?
You know... those Europeans and their wigs
I-Am-Not-A-Robodt He was balding and vain about it. Caesar was given a laurel wreath for his accomplishments on the battlefield, and began wearing it all the time, as it covered some of the bald spots. The depictions, thus, could make him appear as having more hair due to the wreath. Another explanation could be that if he were vain about the baldness, he might have instructed artists to depict him as having hair in his portrayals (this part, however, is only speculation)
He was balding. But Romans liked to give each other endearing insults, so they called him bald.
You'd be bald too if you had to worry about all that fighting and strategizing. And you thought final exams were bad.
I-Am-Not-A-Robodt yea my minds blown
can we all just appreciate the editing tho? like dammnn...
right?! it's so gooood
And the art too ❤️
Zach: just like Nebraska, there’s nothing there.
Me, a Nebraskan: Not correct, but not wrong.
I was def mildly offended, then I was like...well...
I am a little offended
Missile: (noun) an object which is forcibly propelled at a target, either by hand or from a mechanical weapon.
You know, I actually really love it when Shane is the one narrating
I knew I was not the only one.
We need a S2 Of Ruining History !!!!
YES
Approve!
Pleaseeeee
YESS INDEED ABSOLUTELY!!!!
ikr
Every person on this panel has now been on Puppet History. Except Shane, of course. They really should invite him.
Ryann Graham was my favorite guest, on my favorite episode Hatshepsut.
Well you just might get your wish granted this season
Huh. Looks like I got smacked in the head with Apollo’s tetherball of prophecy.
If Shane was my history teacher and he every hour was a story like this...man I would be an expert and ace every test
i had a histroy teacher like that... he was amazing, we all loved it
JerseySnore78 i have a history teacher like that right now
Proof that history isn’t boring our set teaching style is
“and he every hour was a story like this” ....? Huh?
*The 80s music after "night raid" is what I live for*
any idea what the song or soundtrack is?
For real!!
Workin on a NIGHT RAIIIID
NAME PLEASE
T.A Faiza same what is the name
Shane, I'm both a librarian and a historian and I got your back in this whole missile-gate thing. Missile - from the Latin word "missilis" meaning "that may be thrown", so if you throw something or propel something through the air, it's a missile. Arrows definitely count. #micdrop
Heather DeLisle thank goodness someone pointed that out
Trash Binn_ hello fellow army

Zach: “Like Nebraska why do we need it?”
Me (In Nebraska): Ya know he’s making a valid argument
Hey, we have a great zoo :(
Yeah we do. It grows the food. Cities starve without the country.
Nebraska and Wyoming, are the two that need to go.

morrris97 YOU DESERVE TO BE PINNED
morrris97 YES
Shane is a better history teacher than mine at school
I just wanna why know why we watch crash course with John green in history instead of this 😭
Because while very entertaining, it´s not very accurate. Some things are oversimplified and some, frankly, pulled out of thin air, like that boner story. Not hating, I love these videos, but please don´t take the content for accurate information, i.e. to study. You´ll have a lot of questions about your sources otherwise :)
lyra Amethyst And WAYYYY more interesting
lyra Amethyst ikr he's funny but also doesn't get off track... If he does he quickly redirects himself and everyone else back to the subject at hand. He keeps it real AND he brings cute little diagrams
Kirsten Martin honestly yeah
1:22 aww I love Ryan and Shane
OTP
sara is all of us
Ryan laughing maniacally at the starving civilians has the same energy as Shane laughing at the 'execution breakfast' story.
As someone who studies ancient history and languages I am really happy you finally picked up a something like this. You've also made a really good job in simplifying the events but still stay true to history and show both sides.
Julius Cesar, or as his enemies called him "husband to all wives and wife to all husbands".
This meant he was feminine/beta or what
@@wyattearp585 same im confused
@@xakirax_8864 The quote is more often translated as "every man's woman and every woman's man." It's saying that he slept with a lot of women as a "top" with men as a "bottom."
Sex between two men was only okay with the Romans with respect to whomever was "topping," i.e., whomever took the role of the "man" during intercourse. The bottom was seen as lesser because he allowed himself to be "feminized."
The Romans were heavily patriarchal and by extension misogynistic. For a man to allow himself to take the passive role in sex was to admit to being less than a man (the Latin word for man is *vir* ). Gender roles were immensely important to the Romans, and so a man's masculinity meant everything to him. A man who was not a man was worthless, he was not *virtuous* The spelling of that word isn't an accident: virtue to the Romans (virtutis) was synonymous with manliness. The fact that Caesar got away with bottoming speaks volumes; the masses loved him so much that even scandals like this could not touch him.
TL;DR: Roman men could sleep with women and men alike, but they *had* to "top" when having sex with either lest they be disgraced. Caesar only got away with bottoming because he was Caesar.
@Badr -eddin It's usually best to assume that most Greeks and Romans were what *we* would refer to as "bi." I emphasize the *we* because the Romans themselves didn't really have a word for homosexuality. As I said in my previous comment, the emphasis was placed on dominance (i.e. masculinity) and submissiveness (i.e. femininity). They had a term for lesbians, which translates into english roughly as "those who rub," but that's it.
Roman men would actually enforce their dominance over other men by having sex with them, or by subjecting them to submissive sex. In other words, by raping them.
I don't know how familiar you are with the poet Catullus, who actually lived around the same time as Caesar, but in poems 16, and 21, among others, explicit sexual threats are made by Catullus against two men, Aurelius and Furius in Catullus 16, and against Aurelius alone in Catullus 21.
In the former he threatens to sodomize them and, for lack of a better term, facef##ck them for making fun of his sensitive poems: "pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo." And in Catullus 21, he threatens to facef##ck Aurelius again ("irrumare") if he (Aurelius) slept with Catullus' boyfriend Juventius.
Catullus not only wrote about his boyfriend Juventius, he also wrote about his girlfriend Lesbia. This wasn't uncommon is what I'm getting at, I'm just using Catullus as an example.
Also, just for clarification purposes, Lesbia's name, which is actually not the woman's real name, as she's believed to have been Clodia, the famous Roman socialite, has nothing to do with lesbianism, i.e., the modern term for love between two women, the name Lesbia is derived from the island of Lesbos, which is in Greece.
Tl;dr: yes, Julius Caesar was probably bisexual, which was perfectly common and perhaps even normal in the ancient Greco-Roman world.
IMPERATOR this was a great read, thank you!
This is the perfect type of show for Shane! I’m so glad he’s doing this!
Fun Fact: The term barbarian was used, at the time, by the romans to refer to basically anyone who didn't come from the roman empire. It basically just meant foreigner
Indeed! Spesifically it meant 'non-Roman-speaker/language'. So in a way it's Blahbarian for 'blah blah blah'.
@@EBirchall1”Boring. I don’t care about you, you’re not one of us.” Basically.
Rome wasnt an empire at this time it was a republic. Julius Caesar ended that after winning the roman civil war
Zach in a video with Shane and Ryan makes me happy! Also Shane is such a great teacher and narrator.
Simon James I wish he could be my history teacher
Wolfie_smells_ Cake Same! Shane really would make a great teacher.
They ruined it. Should've just been Shane and Ryan and maaaybe the chick.
thermal 15 Definitely.
shane only invited short people to this one so he could seem taller than ever
That moment when Shane's girlfriend is a Boogara
Technically, Shane believes in Aliens too. But I do see what you mean. haha
what is Boogara?
Boogara (Bergara), the mortal nemesis of the Shaniacs
WE ALWAYS NEED SOME BOOGARAS
Naaah, she's a shaniac 😂 (they both believe in aliens but don't believe in ghosts)
The gladius was short and lightweight enough to be easy to stab into your opponent. Longer swords you have to swing. And Rome was able to mass produce good weapons for their soldiers, an impressive feat given Rome fell 1600 years before the Industrial Revolution.
And it was used very well with their tutsudo tatics?
@@elliotgregory3356 I know this reply is a year late, but the testudo was used only to repel incoming enemy missiles. Honestly, many things were failed to be mentioned in the video, but it’s understandable. Vercingetorix was strangled and although no one knew who strangled him, he was strangled during the parade as it was a tradition for Roman Generals bringing home their captured enemy leader to do.
@@elliotgregory3356 the Gladius worked so well with the Romans and was effective because of the Roman’s tactics and equipments. Specifically the rectangular shield they carried, the scutum. Similar to a Greek phalanx, a Roman cohort would move as one, shoulder to shoulder and their shield locked besides one another. The enemies get close, and the weapon that was more special than the gladius I am sad they didn’t mention, was the pillum, which was a Roman javelin mass produced for every legion to carry about three of them. What’s special about these javelins is that they ain’t normal spears for throwing. Their real purpose was to be thrown and pierce the enemies shield and the head of the pillum would be thin enough to bend, but not break, having the heavy shaft of the javelin weigh the shield down, making the enemy either drop their shields or fight inefficiently. Being killed by the pillum was just a plus one.
@@elliotgregory3356 what’s more important to note is that the Roman’s are basically like this statement. “I’ll copy your homework, but I’ll get a higher score than you.” Most of what the Romans had were all stolen, inspired, or borrowed.
Thank you for your response. V informative
Next Buzzfeed Unsolved is gonna be about Ryan’s neighbor
Hahaha shane is a tsundere XD
KittyC. I meant ryan lol
This specific group of people should play a d&d campaign together and Shane should be DM.
Also, "this is some home alone stuff" is the highest praise.
Oh my god, I want this so bad.
1:20
Shane: no, I- I’m not nice, it wasn’t that nice
Everyone else: awwww shaneeeeee ❤️❤️❤️
Did you see him blush when Sara said "awwwwwwwww!!!"
oh fvck off.... *wheezzz
Ryan: "Did the Gauls have, like, magical powers?"
Shane: "Absolutely not."

Edit: wait I suppose we are also France’s neighbours tbh, if you don’t mind the channel in the way
why do they call this “ruining history?” if anything it makes history 10x more interesting
lilnoodle probably bc it ruins history class in school (you don't learn about this in America)
As someone who does know about this battle, the comments from the peanut gallery are a little...taxing at times.
Drakon Heeren Lol I not only learned this in school last year in AP World, but my English class even watched a movie based on it.
ოεցa oოεցa lucky
Because these people know nothing about history and say uninformed stuff.
I think the main lesson we should all take from this is: "Getting stabbed by a sword is bad for your health". Thanks Ryan for this new and insightful information :D
I know right?! I had no idea!
Honestly ruining history and unsolved are the best things about Buzzfeed
And try guys
And Worth it
So only the shows with asians...... interesting
And Outsmarted.
Barbarians were, originally, just people who didn't speak Latin, I believe.
Kinda correct, Barbarians were what the Romans called non-Roman/Latin and non-Greeks/Hellenistic folk. And once rome invaded the gauls, they were no longer called Barbarians since they became part of the roman civilization.
Barbarian was originally the Greek word for people who were not Greek/didn't speak Greek (though Greece wasn't unified at the time), before the Romans took the word and changed it to mean 'uncivilised' people who are neither Greek nor Roman.
It is bearded way back.
I FUCKING LOVE LEARNING 🤓👏
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, it was sort of pejorative since it the word originated from the bahh-bahh bleating of sheep, so basically, barbarians were a bunch of lowly animals.
Caesar also had epilepsy which he hid because it was seen as a "curse from Apollo"
How do you hide epilepsy? He had to have had some people helping him.

Missile: an object which is forcibly propelled at a target, either by hand or from a mechanical weapon.
it also means not just arrows but javelins, slings, darts, etc.
@@Tribune_of_Italia Yes--and rocks!
shane saying *”EUROPE BABY”* is the highlight of my morning

Saved his men from starvation, and not giving the edge to his enemies.
Major cred to the animators and artists 💯👏🏼
Thanks buddy ;) Its just me and Shane
oh wow for real? that's amazing!
Only complaint I have are the Spartans shown after the night raid

Hatsu Haruko and try guys
Hatsu Haruko literally all I like about Buzzfeed are those two series
You missed the aftermath of the war when Caesar could not conquer a particular Gaulish village in Amorica because a druid was brewing magic potions to the village warriors.
Glad to see some fans of asterisx just joking about the existence of the ting gaulish village that is amorica.
I can't believe they had the GAUL to mess with Caeser!
I'll show myself out.
