    Once upon a time, there was a tiny bird who loved to watch Postman Pat through the window of a little cottage. Every day, the bird would perch on the windowsill and watch as Pat delivered letters and packages to the people of Greendale. It was a source of great joy for the bird, who found the adventures of Postman Pat to be endlessly fascinating.
    One day, as the bird was watching the show, a historian happened to walk by. The bird, being quite curious, struck up a conversation with the historian.
    "Excuse me," said the bird. "I couldn't help but overhear you talking about executions in London. It's quite fascinating to me that the same humans who once executed each other could create something as wonderful as Postman Pat."
    The historian was taken aback. "Well, yes," he said. "I suppose it is quite interesting when you think about it that way."
    The bird continued, "It's almost as if humans have an incredible capacity for both violence and creativity. It's quite profound when you think about it."
    The historian smiled at the tiny bird. "You know," he said, "you're quite wise for a little bird."
    The bird beamed with pride. "Thank you," he said. "I like to think I have a unique perspective on things."
    And with that, the bird settled back in to watch Postman Pat, content in the knowledge that he had just had a profound and humorous conversation with a historian.

    Not medieval, but there have been some finds in London showing the Roman's crucified local scallywags. It it is suggested they were punished in this manner for rebellion as opposed to common crime. Fun fact, it's believed that the manner of crucifiction was standardised across the Empire, based on the handful of crucified remains all sharing several identical pathologies. Esp, the manner of how the feet were affixed etc.

  • @tileux
    @tileux Рік тому +1

    Grim fact. The act of hanging a condemned man in London, and elsewhere, was known as ‘turning off’ - because the executioner would literally push the condemned off the back of a cart or horse - the phrase for that was ‘turning off’. ‘Successful’ executions were recorded in official documents as ‘on this day X X was turned off’.
    When you switch off a light you might call it ‘turning off’ the lights. Youre using a phrase derived from the common language of hanging executions.

      My poor boy, you have my sincerest commiserations. You must be in agony! I lost my man of 4 years to a heart attack 11 years ago and I've never known sorrow like it. Losing a parent would be a thousand times worse and it's my worst nightmare, one I know will come true one day; so I really feel your pain.
      Please know this: it DOES get better. The periods of grief develop gaps, which get wider apart so you can breathe. Then the grief becomes less intense and easier to cope with.
      You'll never stop missing her but you WILL be happy again. I promise. Xxx

    I really enjoy this channel. As a premium YT subscriber, I no longer watch any over the air broadcasts except sporting events. I can choose what I want to watch on a massive amount of subjects, and as a history junkie the options are almost endless. Now the reason for commenting here. The death penalty is letting criminals off the hook. NO ONE gets out of here alive. Life is the hard part, death is easy. Back to my YT watching habits. There are many NDE (near death experience) channels on YT. The vast majority of experiences related are beyond positive. They are magical and incredible and people who come back from this experience often have abilities they didn't have previously have and they are metaphysical in value. Past life regression is reality. A couple billion humans know this as reality. Our human conscious does not just disappear into the ether. We remain ourselves in spirit without the human psychological hang ups and detriments. Imagining life in Medieval times is more horrifying to a modern mind than death itself - IMO. Good grief Ancient Roman battlefield medics had a better grasp on human physiology than the BEST doctors in Medieval times. Bottom line - the worst of all criminals that, according to unfounded modern & ancient sentiments, deserve the death penalty. I say NO NO NO - you keep them alive as long as possible to experience all the trauma and medical problems all humans experience. We will all find out that death is nothing but a transition our souls have made countless times.
