32:40 Shakespeare wrote his plays in a way that directly appealed to the lower classes. He was criticized, and praised, for this in his day. They are among the most UNpretentious theater pieces of all time, and were essentially a slightly more poetic precursor to Monty Python. They feature prominent slapstick comedy, modified plots to appeal to people not literate enough to understand their own history or culture, and a veritable hurricane of dick jokes, fart jokes, and sexual innuendo. Shakespearean plays are downright bawdy. It's a sign of how absurdly distorted our own view of history and culture has become, that we now consider HIM to be highbrow. He was, in fact, among the lowest of brows, and gleefully so.
His performances were also interactive-audiences were invited to actively participate, and therefore engage with the material in a way that the passive CONSOOMption of pre-Internet modern entertainment couldn't effectively replicate.
@@DistractedGlobeGuyThat sounds like it could actually make them entertaining. Most Shakespeare plays are so incredibly boring its unbelievable. I like the way Shakespeare was represented in Doctor Who
Cuneiform has a pretty interesting history. It was originally made to write the Sumerian language which is both a dead language and a language isolate, meaning there are no other known related languages, so actually figuring out how it sounds takes some guess work. However, most of the documents written in cuneiform that we have are actually written using the Akkadian language. This is important because unlike Sumerian, Akkadian is not a language isolate. It is a Semitic language like Hebrew or Aramaic. So while we can't know exactly how it sounds we can make much better guesses by studying its related languages. Now i can't read cuneiform and I don't speak Akkadian so I can't speak to this with first hand experience, but apparently reading Akkadian documents is somewhat awkward because as stated previously cuneiform was designed for Sumerian, and Sumerian isn't related to Akkadian at all, so it's kinda like trying to read an English document that was written using kanji and hiragana.
1:28 don't hold your breath. Its a known fact internet historian enjoys watching people react to his content. I've seen him comment on a few reaction videos in the past answering something a reactor asked during the video and saying how he'll sit down with herstorian and watch people watch his content.
@@TheAngryXenite Nope. I think it was that they used lime and didn't mix it perfectly so the concrete would have chunks of lime which could interact with water and fill any cracks that formed in the concrete. It was basically able to heal itself
42:44 Ironically we have to thank King James for actually getting the ball of translating the Bible into the common tongues rolling again... It may not be the best translation but at least it's readable by someone who hasn't studied a dead language. 42:54 I kind of want to know, Kip...
The real irony is that James VI/I faced opposition from Britons for being Catholic _and_ from the Vatican for trying to let the peasants learn to read and thus undermining the political power of the Catholic Church in Europe. He managed to displease _everybody_ so thoroughly that nobody cared when some random prince called Bill Orange from Holland just stepped in and declared himself the new king of Great Britain.
Kip bringing up Kabuki like it wasn't over two thousand years later threw me for a moment. Fun history facts 1: During the eighth century bc the islands of Japan were mostly still home to the Jomon people and only the early stages of Korean colonization had occurred. The Jomon culture would pretty much die out as the people mingled with the Korean settlers and the resulting Yayoi period lasted for about 600 years and saw many changes including the introduction of Proto-Japonic languages and ironworking. Fun(actually not fun) history fact 2: Kabuki theatre began with a group of all female performers at the very start of the 17th century but in under thirty years women were banned from performing it at all (because it brought disorder to the social class system but the official reason was for being too erotic) and so boys and young men started doing it instead but that was soon banned as well (hopefully not because the boys were too erotic). I can't tell which part of this is worse.
This is the result i found In the 18th and 19th centuries, artificially dyed greens, particularly the shade known as Scheele's green, were among the most popular colors. Unfortunately, the source for these new, vibrant greens was arsenic, a toxic mineral which created its distinctive color. Arsenic was also used in some blue, yellow, and magenta dyes in the 19th century. The vivid green used in Victorian wallpaper was derived from toxic copper arsenite. Arsenic was not the only hazardous element used in 19th century fabrics, and the artificial dye industry flourished upon the discovery of tar-coal dyes in the 1840s and 1850s.4 One of the first green dresses ever, from around 1778, at the Bata Shoe Museum, tested positive for arsenic in the dye.
41:08 No, no, no, it was first written in Greek and then it was _translated_ into Latin. The original Bible was in Greek and was the Torah, Nevi'im, and the Ketuvim plus the various teachings of Jesus as written by the Apostles, the various Letters and Epistles from the Apostles to various other collections of Christians at the time after Jesus's Crucifixion, and the Book of Revelations. But yeah, in the 1400's it would probably be found entirely in Latin.
The process of translating the earlier Hebrew, Greek, Ethiopic, and Samaritan texts into Latin was actually the cause of the Great Schizm, where the Catholic Church split off from the older churches of the near east-today, known as the Orthodox, Coptic, and Ethiopic churches. Technically, it also involved the Nestorians, but their order is no longer extant.
24:06 Yeah it really is, if someone is warning you to not do something because it's dangerous and you do it anyway and get hurt or die from it then yeah it is completely your fault for ignoring a warning.
If there's anything I've learned from watching Kip, its that humanity's history of high class frivolities is just us figuring out how to "safely" poison ourselves. Also a lot about guns, swords and miscellaneous weaponry.
He didn’t mention that Berlioz also stalked Harriet for years, wrote her letters despite the language barrier and threatened to poison himself if she didn’t marry him.
Man I’m sorry.. I’ve been watching your back catalogue for weeks and every video that pops up in my feed if yours and just now realized I wasn’t subbed. I fixed it..
The ads are just so good! That's how good ad reads should be. They should add to the work, not break away or distract. Mr Ballen also does amazing ad reads.
I like when people who react to IH say ".....I know you're not gonna see this..." to him, because actually.....there is a good chance that he will. He has admitted to watching people react to his videos and that he likes them.
My favorite cuneiform tablet was the customer service complaint letter to Ea-nāṣir
Well, he shouldn’t promise quality copper then
Worst customer service in Ur
Which one? He had an entire house filled with them.
Kip seriously without hesitation describing how many hot dogs he can fit in his mouth somehow doesn't surprise me
I ain't scared XD

I heard that we've recently rediscovered how to make roman concrete. That's pretty cool.
It's super cool!
Wasn't the secret literally just "you need to use saltwater"

Wasnt there also some sort of volcanic mineral involved too?@@trecasreca1817

30:38 Kip genuinely took damage from this, you can hear it in his voice.
I'm actually a bit sad that the "fashion throughout history was metal." wasn't a stealth pun for Arsenic and other metallic poisons.
And now I'm sad that it wasn't a stealth pun.

Gotta say, Kip, I really enjoy your bits of historical knowledge and nerdyness throughout your reactions. It's honestly really relatable to me.
