The only thing more interesting than learning about history is learning about how people in history learned about history. For starters, it is just interesting in itself. Anyone with a passion for history will want to hear about the circumstances of how a new discovery was made or how certain historical narratives were preserved over time. But more analytically, looking at how a society understood its history can tell you a lot about that society understood itself and the contemporary world around it. That second point is particularly true of the modern age. Ironically, it is a very modern "thing" to be so aware of history. Indeed, the modern age saw the birth of the museum, of nationalist histories, and even the concept of what "History" itself was (note the capital H). It's such a massive topic and one that perhaps isn't suited to a single pinned comment. Interested in learning more? Maybe we'll do another video on it someday. In the meantime, you can read up the works of Reinhart Koselleck...that should keep you occupied. And please, before you comment, read our rules of conduct. community.timeghost.tv/t/rules-of-conduct/4518
Now in the 21st century, researchers wear protecting gear when they open tombs that were sealed for centuries, if not thousands of years. It turns out that maledictions are in fact micro organisms or viruses. As a famous guy said : "Life, uh, finds a way" =D
I really hate to say this indie but it looks like history is about to be defunct. Why you may ask well because people right now who look at history are manipulating it. They make it fit their own narrative there for their telling lies
This is a weird question but since you brought up how people from history learning about history, can you include education programs during this time into the series? Remember how the Nazis taught their ideologies to the next generation via classes and youth groups? Can you cover similar stuff in this series?

"I could do a video about all the various places that claim to be Rome's spiritual successors" *Everyone liked that* "No... No I said I could do it. Not that I would do it." *Everyone disliked that* *Timeghost will remember this*
A series on the history of people claiming to be successors of Rome would be amazing though. I've always been particularly interested in Russia being the "Third Rome".
I watched a series of lectures on the Middle Ages that framed the entire period around that topic. The professor in question argued that there were basically 3 successors to the Roman Empire: The Byzantines, the Catholic Church, and the Islamic Caliphate. The Byzantines because they kept a lot of the political structures of Rome, the Catholics because they became the main pan-European organizing tool and maintained the Latin language, and the Caliphate because in addition to holding a lot of the territory of the former Roman Empire they also were key to preserving the knowledge and sciences.
Claiming the inheritance of Rome has been a thread in European history. All those troubles the various Frankish factions went through to claim the title, the Catholic church somehow claiming the right to select the Emperor, the Hapsburgs, the Spanish, Napoleon claiming the title, and now Il Duce and the Third Reich. One has to fear the EU will at some point claim itself to be its successor as well, but that will be some time in the future. Most of the times, it did not end well.
@@thexalon The Byzantine Empire would not see itself as a successor to the Roman Empire as it was the Eastern Roman Empire. It evolved into a more Greek based culture once the Western Empire was no more, but there was no definitive break between the two, itsvhistory is continuous with the Roman State.
The "Curse of The Pharaoh" must have been the result of the fact that nobody even remembers the name of the, possibly clumsy, water boy that found the tomb.
I have to correct you here, the fascist salute was invented by the poet Gabriele D'annunzio during his Fiume Adventure september 1919 december 1920. ( part of the italian irredentism) together with his legionaries, and later adopted by Mussolini/Fascism etc. as well the very famous shouting eja eja alalà
The fasces, being a bundle of rods bound together, says something about Fascism. A single rod is weak and can be broken. But a bundle together are unbreakable. Similarly, Fascism assumes many of the same mind, working together, will be unbroken. But it also means one must think like the Fascists, and brook no dissent.

The Italian film industry had swept the world with its epic silent films set in ancient Rome, such as 'Cabiria' (1914). They were groundbreaking, and a huge inspiration for D.W. Griffith to take the step towards huge sets, epic themes and dolly shots. Also on the subject on films and Mussolini, he modelled much of this grandstaging poise and movements on one of the caracters in 'Cabiria', the superhero Maciste, a 'Hecules-like figure' as his English Wikipedia page puts it, played by actor Bartolomeo Pagano (1878 -1947).
It makes perfect sense, given that pasta was a Chinese invention that was brought to Italy and caught on. Too bad they didn't ban gunpowder too. And the use of petroleum, another Chinese invention, though I'm sure the west's use of petrolium was an independent reinvention considering that half a millenium passed between the Chinese and European use of oil.
nope, I'm wrong. They wanted to replace pasta with rice since Rice could be grown more easily in Italy than wheat for rice to reduce Italian dependency on foreign grain.
Trajan? Hadrian? Constantine? Augustus? Aurelius? Framing it as, "paid attention to history" seems silly and seems to play more on the modern sense of these movements/figures being a bunch of dummies compared to our progressive, enlightened selves.

The glass of wine on your work desk reminds me of when I was allowed to go to Europe. I remember walking to the Catherine's Market in Budapest a few years ago at about 9:00 A.M. and saw a guy at an outdoor restaurant table, wearing a suit, reading a newspaper, smoking a cigarette and drinking a beer (Estrella Gallaecian)
5:23 that also marks the end of the Jewish ghetto(last standing in Europe at that time IF I remember correctly). Not long after, a Jewish mayor was elected (one of the first in an European capitan I believe, but can't verify)
An interesting thing about Benito Mussolini. When the March on Rome began he wasn't at the front of the parading blackshirts (as Indy rightly stated), but he was literally at the train station in Milan ready to flee to Switzerland if things went downhill. He was never a brave man to begin with, but I think this is the peak of his cowardice.
Their first Roman 're-discovery' was their _fascist salute,_ which they called the _Roman salute,_ later aped by all fascist regimes, and made world famous by the German National Socialists of the Fuhrer till this day.

Much like a French painting inspiring the salute used in Italian Fascism and Nazism, What if a future dictator gets inspiration from Return of the Jedi, and belches like a Hutt whenever he eats a space frog...
King Tut's tomb was found and opened in '22, that's correct. The actual burial chamber however, with the sarcophagus, the mummy, the gold mask and all that, was opened on 16 February 1923.
Just to be clear, Mussolini never actually wanted to reconquer all of the territories of the roman empire, referincing it was just a method to bring national unity and pride to all italians, also aiming to make Italy great as the roman empire, this again didn't meant conquering all of the territories but to equal it in an economic and civil way
someone has probably already said, but "fasces" is pronounced "fash-es". In Italian, the sc combo makes a sh sound if it is followed by an e or an i, similar to our letter c.
Hi All, William Atkin was a marine architect, had a column in Motorboating magazine each month, with a new boat design.

Can you do a video about what is fascism/nationalism and other isims? Most definitions I've seen are unsatisfactory and amount to "you'll know it when you see it." Or they're lengthy and full of examples of fascism but still lack a concise definition. I know there is nothing simple about it, but taking 15 mins defining fascism is not a definition, but a set of examples.
