By 1924, post WW1 Germany's economy had stabilized and crime began to decline. This era was known as the "Golden Years" of Weimar. Berlin in particular saw a cultural explosion.
The 1929 Crash and Great Depression which followed it, saw an end to democracy and the rise of fascism.
This is a short AI enhanced edit of the Walther Ruttmann classic silent documentary film.
Berlin : Symphony of a Great City 1927.

In no way, do we wish to detract from the original film. As a fan of the 'silent' film genre, it is truly a masterpiece of the film style known as 'actuality'. Stunning to watch in all it's glory and at it's original frame length. Hopefully this short edit, which is primarily focused on Berlin's women, will help introduce a host of new fans to the work of Walther Ruttmann.

The people who spent their money on cameras back then and filmed truly did a great thing. I imagine the new technology was expensive,
This was commercially filmed.
Filming was nothing new by 1927, and this footage was made by a film studio.
a few ppl could afford their own cameras, but most of this type was done by independent studios. and shown in cinemas. ppl would see themselves on the big screen...
Can u imagine in 100 years time now people looking back at are films now lmaoooooo so iconic people twerking on the streets . People singing while a person is being put in the ambulance let alone the music videos 😭😭😭😭

Some of the videos within the last 15 years will make us a laughing stock in 100 years time. People that far ahead will see us as something to laugh at when it comes to some videos on here. I would think UA-cam will just continue to be around for decades...and decades...and decades etc.
Wonderful to see Berlin in 1927. My grandmother was born there in 1903 and left in 1926. She always missed her beloved Berlin. Thank you so much for the great footage. By the way...she lived to the ripe old age of 105. Still could touch her toes. Maria Alfreda Schmidt.
I can imaigne she was saddened, if she heard or even saw the destruction of berlin in 1945
Berlin in 1927-28 was the best (in terms of talent and hot jazz)

A potent reminder that it doesn’t take long for a society to go completely off the rails.
All it takes is one man to start the fire.
Berlin was a liberal, sophisticated, enlightened city. It was a tough place for Nazis. As in most of Europe the cities like Berlin, Vienna, Budapest, and Paris were tough audiences for the fascists. The hick towns were easy pickings. Note the distinction in America with the less dangerous Donald Trump.
Weimar Germany almost survived.
@@paulbrower4265 Completely untrue. All totalitarian ideologies have begun in city centers where tyrants can gather and infect the minds of people en masse. All totalitarian ideologies rely on large centralized government for their existence. People in urban locales rely heavily on government more than rural areas (where people tend to be self-reliant), therefore city people are far more likely to brainwash to let totalitarianism take hold within their country, under the guise of giving the government more power to "help people," "fix things," and "take control of things." It has nothing to do with liberal vs conservative regions. It has everything to do with how much does a person want the government to run all aspects of their life? Germans who are already an orderly people went through a rough time during the Weimar Republic and were ripe for giving all the power to a centralized and malicious government.
@@jefftracy3771 Socialist demagogues get their start in the giant cities. Fascists typically appeal to tycoons and rural magnates who see their world under challenge.
The closest political leader in American history to a fascist demagogue, Donald Trump, has done far better in winning support in rural areas than in the big cities. We all saw how the vote went in Atlanta, Detroit, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and Phoenix. Trump was ahead in Georgia until the vote counts started to come exclusively from Atlanta, Michigan until the votes started to be counted from Detroit, in Pennsylvania until the votes started to come in almost exclusively from Philadelphia and Pittsburgh , and in Wisconsin until the vote started to be counted almost entirely in Madison and Milwaukee.
Trump isn't Hitler, although he started showing some despotic traits. But just look at a map of the distribution of votes for President in 2020 and you will see that Dallas and Detroit both vote much more like each other than they vote like rural areas in their states.
...Hitler did best earliest in the most rural parts of Germany, the places less cosmopolitan.
However it is rather odd that the vote counts came in latest from city centers, no? For in usual state patterns, places like the countryside are typically last to report.
Everyone looks so stylish! I wish we still had clothes like that.
me too when i was younger we had a very cheap market selling original clothes from 20s 30s and 40s i bought lots of clothed from them loved all those clothes still got a real fox fur although it would not be worn now my 2 daughters keep telling me to throw it out but ive still got it oh happy days from linda in scotland
Start the trend.
You can still get clothes like that, what's stopping you
Bella
Yes, it would be great. I especially like the 40s styles, including how women wore their hair. Of course, in today's America at least, most of the women wouldn't wear those styles or couldn't because they're too fat!

Lucky you:) How wonderful!

Evidence please?
None of these people could have imagined they would be watched nearly a century later.
Or that the city would have fallen in total ruins within 25 years later.
I wonder how many of us are actually on people’s footage now. Any one of us could be watched 100 years from now or longer. Interesting isn’t it.

As a Berliner born in '82, this is fascinating to see how it looked back then. I wish those Cabrio busses would still be around! Berlin was a beautiful city back then. I was lucky to grow up in an equally beautiful old building from the 1890s that was only slightly damaged during the war.
1927 Berlin, If only these people could see the storm that was on the horizon.
That’s what I was thinking🙁
What storm WW2?
Because they just went thru WW1, and in a war before that. So no, they've been in the storm the whole time.
Just was before fascism had took hold.
and the bitcoin too like everyone here
@@tinkertanner165 thing is, they probably didn’t think another more devastating world war would happen, one that would leave Germany in ruins and divided
I can't get over the quality of clothing and fabrics. It's so obvious they were very well made. The tailoring was excellent. The weaving of fabrics look stellar. Fast fashion has done us such a disservice.
You're mistaken. That work quality still exists today and also available only for custom made clothes. You'll never get good quality from pret-a-porter clothes. You need to shell premium price for premium quality. These dudes and dudettes in the movie were not struggling in their life, they could afford good stuff.
@@alexandragamingronyno2275 it wasn't so much that they could afford good stuff, its that "good stuff" was basically all they could get. The cheap garbage of today hadn't been invented yet.
They had one or two clothes. That’s it. If you bought clothes once a decade your budget would be huge
@@alexandragamingronyno2275 Are you implying the video somehow manages to only catch rich people? doubt it
@@alexandragamingronyno2275 I saw a newspaper vendor, a woman selling flowers on the street, & a bartender in this video. Those are not jobs wealthy people hold. And they were all well dressed as well. Not to mention every person on the bus was also well dressed.
It’s like... watching things that happened yesterday...
100 years of yesterdays...
@@swingman5635 no is much time... the time fly
Or like seeing tomorrow things we could have watched or noticed today. "People are alike all over." Humans are the same, regardless of their dress, language, or setting. Time flies. The NOW is always PRESENT. LIVE IN IT.
@@doyleperkins4916 Yeah, the weirdest thing is to think that these people had the exact same awareness of themselves and time as we right now have. So easy to treat people from history like caricatures in our minds, especially when we just read about them or see b&w photos and videos of them. That's the real gift of these coloured videos. Then you take that back to 200 years ago, 1,000 years ago, 5,000, 100, 000. Almost too much for our puny minds to comprehend.
@@zootsoot2006 Beautifully stated but remember that old Twilight episode, "People are alike all over." In the end it matters little, whether we gaze upon the details of an Italian Renaissance painting, neolithic cave paintings at Lascaux, France or at a reflection of ourselves in the mirror or in a cool pool of water, everywhere we see human beings, regardless of time, place or manner. Thank you for your incisive comments, which have gotten me to thinking....more deeply. Peace.
These people are our ancestors. They were young once, they loved, they suffered, they got through all the same ailments we go through. They're all dead and a new swarm of human beings replaced them. And so we will die and will be replaced by another swarm that will go through all the same stuff. This makes me aware of the big scale of life, of its cycle, and how small yet big we are.
Amazing. Like having a time machine. The added ambient sound really makes the film pop!
Do you mean the audio here was just added? :o
@@alexisty1497 (Assuming your reply wasn’t just sarcasm…) No, there was no portable film sound technology in the 1920s. For footage this old, any sound you hear is almost certainly added during the restoration process.
@@sfperalta it wasn’t sarcastic at all! Thanks a lot, this clears out a lot of my questions! 😄
@@alexisty1497 Just to elaborate.. film sound really didn’t come into being until around 1927. And even then, the sound had to be recorded using very bulky recording disks (like large LP vinyl records, but in reverse). The sound and the pictures were initially synchronized in the theater until they came up with a way to convert audio into light waves and record that onto the film strip along with the corresponding pictures. I’m pretty sure if you search “film sound” or similar in Wikipedia you’ll get a long history explaining the technical developments. Enjoy!
We watch people walk by oh so often, forgetting how fascinating human lives are, and that we are part of history :)
I love this comment. This is how to live life.
YESSS
This is a very smart and clever comment!
Quite rare here and especially on YT.
Most highly nobody is going to remember us lol
It is nice to see people in the streets submerged in their smartphones not looking where they walk
it’s still hard for me to think about that this isn’t an reenactment of some kind, it’s the Actual recordings of people in 1927
gosh dang
yeah it kinda feels like i’m watching a movie, it’s unreal
Agree, this is so weird.

i like the hats thoo
the hats are popular maybe sophie from howls moving castle can make this woman girls hat so cool haha
Everyone here probably thought they were living in an advanced future.
Exactly, They were. Simpler times were definitely better. Now we just complicate things 😂
As do we now. In a Hundred years, there might be a video of us.
Heavier than air flight (airplanes) had only been around for 24 years at that time. The internet is older to us.
They WERE living in the most advanced age until then, technologically speaking. So do we, and so will people a hundred years from now. Everything is relative.
Just like we do
Something that really catched my attention is how cheerful was Germany at that time. The people enjoyed going restaurants, cabarets and parties. Everybody seems to be polite and the fashion of the time was very stylish.
What a life it was before WW2. Clothes were so elegant long ago.
Interestingly these clothes are way more casual and “revealing” than those of the decades before
I feel like throwing away all my t-shirt, shorts, casual crapola of clothes. This is style and the effort people put into their image just to go grocery shopping is impressive!!
@@lc3920 It was a response to the horrors of World War 1. Many women worked during the war and wanted freedom afterwards. Many lost faith in God, and the prudity that came with the church. They wanted to be free of the shackles. This happened the world over but more so in Germany. Germany had openly gay bars, porn, graphic nudity in films etc. The Treaty of Versailles bankrupted them after WW1 but they were recovering well until the 1929 Wall St crash which affected the whole world. In Germany it was really severe and it was a perfect time of despair for Hitler to rise up. Many historians believe that, but for the crash of '29 and the Depression, Hitler wouldn't have happened.
It was actually during this time when clothes started to modernize
This might have largely happened due to the hyperinflation of the early 1920's, which resulted in lots of experimental clothing and behavior. What was considered out of place even by today's standards became normal, it involved both mother's and their daughters. Currency was worthless so people had to creative in other ways, it produced the most progressive period in modern history, even the nudity of today would seem conservative. Then came 1932 and the Nazi's, who hated everything about it, and clamped down real hard. However given what Adolf offered it is no surprise that Germany settled for a return to what they considered normal, Absolute rule.
I have mixed feeling when i watch old videos . Sadness because those people are long gone and happy to see how they ve lived.
I so feel the same. I know they are no longer alive.
when reflecting on today... I envision people (in everyday situations) dressed way too casual 😒 like they just got out of bed! Still in their pj's to go to a restaurant or shopping. I hate to be judgy, but I remember/experienced when men wore suits and women dresses to get on a flight (TWA, Eastern Airlines, etc.). Wish there was a happy medium. 😑 Smh.

Such beautiful and fascinating perspectives.
My mom wore clothes like this. I love the hats(cloches), dresses with the dropped waist, fringed dresses(flapper) and mom said women and men wore cloth pads in the underarm area of the clothes to absorb sweat! Pre deodorant and antiperspirant days! I can still remember clothes smelling of Evening in Paris perfume and cigarettes. Everyone looked so elegant!
In 1927 my Italian grandma, who was born 30th July 1919 and is therefore now about to turn 102, was a kid jumping around, playing with dolls and helping at home. She actually still remembers that very good, especially the glacial winter of 1929. What an incredible life, going from no-electricity or plumbing at home to having an iPhone. 🧐😎😱 I'm trying to write a song about all that. EDIT: Thanks everyone. Yesterday morning, 16th February 2021, my grandma Caterina De Gasperi peacefully left this earth 🌍 for the infinite journey. What an amazing, long and richful life she lived. God bless her, may she continue to be in the other life the strong woman she'd been in this! 🥰

just a normal day in life in the twenties, mindblowing
I remember my grandmother had cloth in this style.She couldn t let go the fashion of that time.But my father tossed everything in the seventies when she was old.I wish he didn't .Such amazing good clothing especially the woollen dresses.
It's interesting to see how much "slower" city life was 100 years ago.
All that was slower was the means of transportation.
Now they're battling gentrification on a huge scale for years and it's not recognisable as a city. My great grandfather lived and is buried in Berlin.
@Chris Mansfield although I just watched a UA-cam video of a Berlin politician and a land developer and Berlin has had terrible problems in the last few years on this topic
@Chris Mansfield I completely understand that. But a housing shortage and a lack of affordable housing is making the matter worse, most definitely in Atlanta where I watched it happen in front of my eyes and is still happening. In Dublin it happened also, but the worst I saw was in Germany and Prague. I have been screaming about this for 20 year's. I'm definitely against it and blame government's
Not slower, simpler compared to our time maybe. They still had their problems of their Era. Diseases like polio were common, they would eventually suffer through the great depression, and life expectancy was shorter then too.
Annette Hanshaw's "That's All" at the end is sweet. These videos are real gems.
I much prefer porky the pigs, "That's all, folks." LOL
It’s mad to think that cause of today’s technology, and all the videos that exist everywhere, that in a 1000+ years people will be able to watch us too in hd
the 1920's was such a monunemtus time in history. the 20's came roaring in with glamour, decadence, beauty, freedom, then the 1930's came when all such wonderful lavish living started to unravel bringing on the destruction of berlin and the rest of the civilized world. That being said, i love this wonderful old film of such beautiful people enjoying life and living a peace existence. Little did they realize who it would all fall apart before them!!
What impresses me most is that about a decade later all this peace and glamour disappeared with the war. It's really sad...
And many of these people died in war...
Peace and glamour? Maybe in United States during the 20's. In Germany's 20's was famine and desperation for most of the people. Glamour accounted for the super rich. There was a rampant hyperinflation, a loaf of bread worth of money needed a cartwheel to carry. Look it up.

What we call "glamour and style" today, was simply casual wear to them. Just shows how far our society has fallen.
@@dean1039 I'm not sure it was entirely casual. You can see that people wore things like wifebeaters when fully at ease. It was that it was not acceptable to walk around in overly casual clothes.
@@Humanophage Rightly so, why should it be acceptable to wear overly casual clothes. What's next, will people be going to work in their night wear twenty years from now. People should have respect and pride in themselves. It also shows the laziness of modern society. It's easier to put on a t-shirt, than it is a shirt, tie, and accompanying attachments. There are many things in life in which people shouldn't take the easy option. They certainly didn't do that back then.
@@dean1039 I agree
What I find fascinating and depressing is that throughout this time, the Nazism was under way and what these streets and sights would look like at the conclusion of WWII. That aside, once again you've given life to old movie footage with excellent use of sound effects and made this period of time 100% relatable.
...and most Germans laughed at the Nazis in 1927. The KKK was far more powerful in America at the same time. I have no question that a KKK-dominated America would have been just as murderous, repressive, and warlike as the Third Reich. Fascism of any kind fosters sociopathic leadership.
@@krashd I'd be somewhat surprised if WW3 is almost 20 years away, I'd bet significantly sooner. I doubt China waits that long to invade Taiwan and that's what I expect the flash point to be.
I share your sadness about the terrible destruction to come - but your conventional (victor's) view of how Nazism started isn't accurate. What was under way was the violence and suppression of the Nazis by the Far Left - the Nazis only ever got the support they did because people in the middle got so sick of the Far Left - sound familiar?

It seemed like no matter what job you had you still wore the "good everyday suit" out and about.
I have seen many of these old vids, People dress nicely when they went out in those times.
Lost morality and vlaues in absolute terms.Violence got normalised and we watch it everyday through our phones, TVs and cinemas. Humans stopped caring for other humans and selfishness reigned. The inevitable happened and we dealing with everyday.
Yes, elegant but cannot imagine myself with those suits in august. It's non-sense, people just wanted to show that they were someone even if they worked in a coal mine. Similar to the present days.
Imorality was a problem with man from the fall of Eve. The only nice thing on the road people dressed nicely..Evil deeds was always prevalent during those time. Did we forget about history and the atrocities of humans. The clothing was better. That's it.
Having seen the original footage before, taken with a black and white, hand cranked camera and film I certainly appreciate the hi-tech additions of sound, speed adjustment and colour that make this a wonderful, miraculous window to the past and this a wonderful upload altogether!...
The dancing ensemble made me smile. Thank you for the work on putting this altogether. I am always amazed by the clothes.
These films remind me that ladies used to dress up in their hats, dresses, capes/cloaks, gloves and heels, fix their hair and makeup just to have a coffee or lunch at a sidewalk cafe. So chic!
Have you never been to a major city?
@@FM-gh8tk No. Even after WWII into the '60s, men wore suits and hats and women had nice clothes as well. The hippies changed things. Even the Beatles wore suits to perform until the acid kicked in! I don't know how lower-income Americans afforded such a wardrobe because the textile industry was here and so clothing must have been more expensive back then.
@@FM-gh8tk Poverty is a state of consciousness. I worked retail and an elderly man came in wearing raggedy clothing and his gloves had holes in them. My co-worker also worked at a local bank and she told me after he left the store that the man had $100K in the bank. She knew his balance. He was a miser. I am sure he was getting Social Security as well. Some people have millions of dollars but still don't feel like they have enough.

The colourization & upscaling are interesting, but it is the audio & foley work I found most impressive. This must have been insanely labour intensive. Well done!
My family came to the USA in the late 1960s from Croatia (Yugoslavia then). Both my parents came from villages with no electricity, running water, or sanitation. But they did each have 2 sets of nice clothing, of the highest quality, which they would wear for any event or excursion into the city.
BTW: both my grandfather ironically worked in the USA in the roaring 20s. We have a few photos of them dressed in their best, like gentlemen! They were uneducated simple workers, who returned back to Yugoslavia...never losing their fashion sense.
Relatives told me how proud my grandfathers were to have suits, hats, 1 even a gold pocket watch! Class is class. I buried my Dad in the ancestral village 3 years ago...I absolutely dressed to impress, just as my Dad did on Sundays in the USA at Church.
Simply fantastic. What a brilliant job you do on colourising those old black &white movies. Thank you for sharing them.
This was my mom’s era, and I love thinking about her being caught up in it and enjoying it. I like seeing these old film clips, but it’s funny that they don’t seem to be real when they’re colorized, and with audio. We’re so accustomed to everything being monochromatic back then.
@EQ Nation
Gee, I like salacious stuff! Please, tell me where the “degeneracy and filth” is to be found. I must’ve missed it, man.
Honestly, can there ever be anything to dislike about videos like this? Not even being hyperbolic.
@Chel Sea considering how fast these videos are out out, you can't expect glorious colourization
Political climate at the time
@@halipeno7137 there was nothing political going on in the twenties, just ✨Jazz✨ /s
(And maybe feminism)
@Chel Sea The colorization helps accentuate the authenticity. But everyone has different tastes.
Nope they’re perfect!
Whenever I watch footage like this, I try to imagine how people of that time saw their surroundings. What we see here appears oldtimey and nostalgic and elegant to us. To a person born in the 1870s, it was probably 'all that modern, radical crap'.
It's nice to see these old videos in colour, but also with the frame rate smoothed out. It makes it seem so much more real.
😯Wahnsinn!!! Es wirkt durch die Farben und höhere Auflösung so lebendig, als wäre es erst gestern gewesen.
This honestly feels like someone snuck back in time with a modern camera. I love this content so much. You do great work!
People who filmed this must be appreciated because they preserved this footage during world war and till date for us to see how life was back in 1920s. All these young people in the footage may not be alive today but engraved on a film for generations to watch.
I love. "That's all" at the end. Nice job on all of the videos. So cool.
That is Annette Hanshaw. She sang in the late 20s-early 30s. She started saying “That’s all” at the end of her recording just to let them know they were done. It stuck.
As a child I would read all the children's books written by Erich Kästner and watching this made me look out for Pünktchen, Anton and Erich 🤣🤣🤣. What an incredible time that was! Thank you for this video,as a German it helped me connect to the past.
I don't understand how anybody could give this a thumbs down. It's so cool that this even exists!
Just to let you know, people accidentally give thumbs down, on their phone or iPad etc..
Probably, mostly people of Jewish persuasion, who correctly realize, these people considered themselves part of the Master race, and acted accordingly because of that belief to their Jewish counterparts.
I love your channel! The sound is so natural that I forget that it was so skillfully added. Good job with colorizing.
Incredible piece of film work in all respects, from the camera to the modern digital editor.
Babylon Berlin really does an excellent job of portraying Berlin during this time!
That show is SO GOOD OMG
Ikr!! I'm still barely learning terminology like cloche hates etc
But the rest omggg I could learn so much
The woman on the train at :20 reminds me of Charlotte
Weimar-era Germany was a lot of fun. Then, in 1933, the fun was over.
The clothes! They really knew how to dress then. Wish that would come back in style
@@kaz1015 Did wonders for sales of Berets
Clothings now are made by idiots and heavily promoted by magazines that wanted to sell their stupid logos and brands

Wow! Great sound and vision. Excellent restoration. Looks like yesterday👌
Probably one of the most historically valuable sites on UA-cam. Brilliant.
I did not wanted this video to end... It felt nostalgic... Almost like a parallel universe... It's as if I peeked into someone's home whilst passing down the road .
This is remarkable! I love that we can take a look into the past like this, and see the "real movements and actuality" of people, that are not scripted. Thanks for your work in uploading it!
This video series is so beautiful and so interesting to watch!
Love these enhanced glimpses into the past! Sorry to see them end, but it's worth it to hear "That's all" 🙂
Absolutely adore these videos. Thank you so much ❤️❤️
This is piece of ART! Every second can be transform to the elegant poster.
this is not the first video that I watch on this channel, but for the first time, I could not help but pay attention to the expressions on their faces. I have never seen such an expression on modern streets. the faces of those days do not have the concentrated tension that I see in people in our time. they are serene. they are not gnawed by a bunch of problems. it saddens and delights me at the same time. I understand what a difficult and in fact terrible time we live in
Best observation on this thread. Actual, not speculative!
So fake
Probably in that era, it was rare to have people walking around with guns ready to shoot anyone that angered them.
Having just watched a couple of videos from 20 years earlier it is incredible how much changed over that time. Also the stark difference between working classes showed elsewhere and these affluent city dwellers.
Спасибо тем, кто делает 60fps, как будто сам переносишься в то время.
Video footage like this is a precious treasure. A direct link to the past.
Nicely put together
a lot of work
I enjoyed it
from Australia, thanks
Exceptional, thank you. It makes our ancestors so much closer to who we are ourselves.
Omg I’m so glad you are making these
Shows you such a short blip in time we are on this earth
Enjoy every moment
😘
how elegant people looked - today clothes in the streets just trash ...
Yes, but alot of the clothing was considered daring and vulger not elegant, like the shorter hemlines, no stockings, loose drapey shapes.
Lol. These were people with the disposable income to buy fancy clothes. Most people in the working class had to make their own clothes or buy what was essential.
Industrial Textile production after WWII also changed enormously and new fabric materials were developed.
Your nostalgia for the past is blinding you to the historical reality.
I’m sure you leave the house in top hat and gloves each day 🙄
Oh stfu. That’s EXACTLY what people said about these people then, you look back with the rosiest glasses imaginable
@Naturally Wild The problem is not that we shouldn’t strive to look decent, it’s that people are judged way too much on appearances. Some of the “trash” people could have the best hearts while the guy in the three piece suit is plotting your demise. 20 years later many of the well dressed people in this vid would watch as their Jewish neighbors were exterminated
Thank you so much for allowing us to peek into a life gone by. Beautiful restoration Glamourdaze.
this is SOOOOO well done.... it brings tears to my eyes
I look at everyone and I try to see their story. It’s so fun making up lives for them.
Damn, just found this channel and it's AMAZING!! I probably gonna watch aaaall the videos in one go. Time machine activated.
Lovelyyy videossss!! I enjoy them so muchhh!!!
Imagine a world where people are aware of their surroundings and socially interacting with each other instead of wandering around with their eyes transfixed on their "smart" phones. I enjoy my iPhone, but there is a time and a place for everything.
expectation: _''interacting with each other''_
reality: 0:22
@@gomes2151 Oh puuleeese! They don't need to interact 24/7. They're just reading the news.
Excellent ! Great job of colorization, stabilizing, speed correcting, sound production and enhancing ! Awesome ! Great film !
I see cloche hats everywhere and I love it.
Nice upload, good quality and good sound. A charming view of one of the most mythic and fascinating eras in world history.
Beautiful video! Wished it continued for an hour. I had to subscribe just now!
