In the Old Testament the Jews did a sacrifice to a demon sending an animal to the desert . It was normal for them . By the way hell is real and Jesus is real too.
Rome is such an interesting case study, it is fairly easily to understand why they were so successful, it was not just 1 thing but a combination of so many things that made Rome unique and so effective. It truly is an anomaly in history, we all today are a successor to Rome, the whole of western civilization wouldn't exist without Rome. It's always interesting to wonder how things would have turned out if Carthage won and eradicated the young roman republic, I love history and learning about pre history
39:18 Keeping promises was actually huge in the ancient world, and especially with the pantheon of gods who would supposedly not hesitate to strike you down (across all civilization's), you better hope to stay on their good side.
So it's interesting to note that there's some evidence that the Carthaginians didn't actually sacrifice their kids. Like ALL of their neighbors wrote about them "sacrificing" their kids by burning them in religious ceremonies, but...there are very few graves of kids who WEREN'T burned on the gods altars? Which means either the Carthaganians somehow learned how to stop kids from dying of natural causes or their neighbors didn't understand the difference between "human sacrifice" and "cremation of a body."
Oh, and as for the insane luck in finding an intact quinquireme to copy the design from, think of it this way: that level of luck is nowhere near the whole "finding General Lee's battle plans rolled up with random cigars on the ground"-level of luck, in my opinion.
Its maybe even more lucky.... i mean the chances with the cigar are of course much smaller but in a case of the impact it has..... ye the plans were very usefull but it was one of many operation during the war. But copiing design of the one thing that the enemy have advatage above you... that gives you so much and not just in 1 battle or opperation but for the whole war and after. Like when it woudnt happen.. maybe the cartaginians could split Sicily and Apenin peninsula and Romans couldnt do anything, even when they could beat them on land easily... Carthage could use this advantage in many ways... but they lost it in the very beggining we can say. Romans caught up or even surpassed them in naval theathre and on land they were stronger.. so Carthage was at disadvantage the whole war and this way it was just matter of time how long it would take for the romans to win.
22:06 the Romans did copy from there enemies technology but they make those technologies little bit better ( unlike China copies america weapons like M4 and make it least expensive but low effort and can jam easily )
Romes entire thing was Integration and Assimilation, first in warfare and later in culture, sure there were clear classes, like Romans, Italians and then basically everyone else, but unless you were a slave, you could make it far in the Roman Republic and later the Empire, ESPECIALLY in the military, and thus politics, if you managed to gain Roman Citizenship, which, if you were an accomplished Military Officer would have been pretty easy. But all big ancient empires were like that, including Carthage, as you can see in their army, they were willing to gain and utilise assets, they were just too stupid to properly use them,the whole "We are better, cause we are so civilized" only really started with Colonialism and then Imperialism, when a Tech Difference really started showing, pretty sure if Colombus and his men were greeted by weaponry similar to theirs, history would have played out entirely differently, since the idea of Superiority would have never cropped up, at least not in these extremes.
Hannibal becomes the boogeyman of Rome for Generations parents would tell their children if you don't eat your vegetables Hannibal will come for you he was a genius I can't wait for you to watch the second war
Interesting thing about the dragon story. Some people believe it may have been a crocodile 🐊, as to people from ancient Italy who had never heard of, let alone seen a crocodile 🐊 could definitely mistaken one for a dragon. 🐉
Interesting fact: Spartan children were sent out into the wild to survive and join other groups of wild boys when they were fifteen. If they didn’t survive? We’ll, we all know what happened to the unluckiest Spartan babies that were deemed too weak for society…
tbh, 40 million dollars is pocket change for nations today. A nation's wealth is measured in billions or trillions, a rich person's wealth could be measured in millions. While 40 million is a lot, some people (and not nations) own that much today.
100,000 sailors dies in that storm off Camarina. For reference, around 2,600 Americans were killed over the course of the 20 years spent fighting in Afghanistan.
How does Rome survive? Luck, Spite, and Sheer Willpower. Also a mega-population for Ancient World times and extreme horniness (they literally got laid so much they caused a plant that they used for Contraceptives to go extinct. So the population just was always growing).
I mean the time he came back he only had a quarter of a month to win the war and it takes almost half a month to sale to Carthage and a week to march to the capital so atleast he got a statue if he stayed in Rome he wouldn't
When I see information about the Roman republic like their insane luck and ability to win equally insane wars, I can't help but wonder how the hell the Romans became so pathetic their entire civilization was destroyed in the 5th century (the Eastern part was mostly Greek, so...).
ancient times were brutal and still very tribal,but still they managed to change little by little and develop great achievements or at least produce a great legacy that we are taking advantage nowadays.
I don’t think it is smart that regulus went back to get killed but one person said that it was a sign of manliness and honor so maybe that’s why he did that
Gotta remember that extreme cases of superstition often reigned supreme over common sense during the times of antiquity. People didn't understand meteorology or weather phenomena like we do in the modern day for example, so gods, deities, and other divine stuff were created and associated with elements of the world to help explain them in many early cultures, in the place of conventional science. And "insane" is putting it nicely regarding some pagan practices that the Romans assimilated over time, such as augury or what a haruspex does. And of course, to better understand why Rome loved war and expansion so much, the "make-as-much-glory-as-possible-within-your-short-term" explanation is one thing, but another explanation is the focus of their religious pantheon. Sure, they are in many respects a copypaste of the Greek gods, but thats just at surface level. While the top god for most Greeks would be Zeus, the top god for most Romans would be Mars, and he is very different from his Greek counterpart Ares in many fundamental ways, even presented with a very different mentality.

I GOT XCIX PROBLEMS BUT ROME AIN'T ONE This joke is a play on words using Roman numerals and a popular phrase from a Jay-Z song. XCIX is a Roman numeral that represents the number 99. So, "I got XCIX problems" means "I have 99 problems". In the song, Jay-Z says "I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one"
Interesting mindset with Rome in their early history they lost a war and the city of Rome itself was sacked and basically held for ransom so from then on for quite a while they basically fought every war with the mentality that if they lost it would be the end of their entire civilization
Something to remember is that modern times are far more sensitized to death and violence. Likely most of the people you know died of aging diseases, as is the case with me. We have likely never seen someone die before our eyes. We live in societies where our waste is only there until we press a small lever. The list goes on. The average life expectancy now is 70+ in most countries. Then it ranged from 20-30. When death is all around you from birth you become desensitized to it, but the trauma also, well, traumatizes you. Compound this with a lack of knowledge availability (we all today stand on the shoulders of Giants) and you get a fundamentally different value set. We deal with death as the worst outcome, due to how late it is and how tragic. But if you are inured to death things like honor/virtue become more important to you than life.
It's pretty rare for great military leaders like Hamilcar Barca to have equally talented or even better sons (Hannibal). Plenty of sons just suck at ruling a country or commanding troops because they were born into the easy life, but I guess Carthage losing in the First Punic War is what propped up Hannibal, who knows ? If Carthage won and we had a Second Punic War, Hannibal would be the downfall of Carthage.
Rome is so strong because they were super modern.. They had new tactics and ideas that probably nobody had seen in the world. You must keep the time in mind. That's so Fucking long ago. Rome had a complete water system like that's so crazy..
That they literally copied from other cultures. I'm not saying Rome wasn't an impressive empire but a lot of tactics and technology was copied off of other cultures
@@VSES-99293 Yeah.. In a time where "stealing" or imitating other cultures was considered weak.. It was quite modern for the Romans to recognize the good things in other cultures.. But they not only copied.. They improved it incredibly. That's one of the reasons why Rome is THE history today... When you think of strength or progress... Rome is always the first thing that comes to mind and conversation... Because that's how it is.
One interesting things that Oversimplified didn't mention about the ending was that Hamilcar Barca didn't go back to Carthage after the war. Afterall, he basically saw the peace treaty as a betrayal of him and his men. He instead lead his mercenaries (who over the war had become to him rather than Carthaginian money) to form a settlement in spain. That settlement evolved into the city of Barcelona.
Yeah but they could not destroy Rome. Rome managed to hang on even after loosing massive armies. In the end, the third punic, Rome came back swinging and wiped Carthage out of existence.
The Spartans are overrated, largely thanks to Zack Snider. The Macedonians were far more successful against the Persians. Alexander the Great is mythic levels of legendary and his victories are studied to this day. Plus, people don't need to be greek, a historian, or watch a movie to recognize Alexander's name. Practically everyone, regardless of where they're from has heard it before, even if they don't know anything else about him.
Honestly people doing horrible things for their religious or spiritual beliefs is a long lasting and still current problem. Animal sacrifice is still pretty common. And in Africa many people who have albinism are still kidnapped, dismembered, and their body parts sold for religious rituals and potions. Some families will even sell their albino children to these butchers. Even when they’re not being ritualistically slaughtered, they still face government and society discrimination. I think it was the 1700s when people started having conversations about slavery. The UK & France were the first countries to fully outlaw slavery. The last country to ban slavery was in the 1980s I believe, a west African country called Mauritania. However slavery wasn’t a punishable offense in Mauritania until ~2005. It’s believed that more anti-slavery protesters are jailed in Mauritania than enslavers. Heck even in America slavery is still an issue with an estimated 400,000 people being enslaved in US borders at any given time, many of which are illegal immigrants who were exploited by the very people that smuggled them into the country. I wished they taught slavery better in US schools, many Americans don’t understand how slavery is a global and still occurring problem. But since you hate the Romans so much. I recently started learning more about the history of my Irish/Scottish ancestry and the Picts, the indigenous people of the British isles, were able to defeat the Roman army during their Christianization of Europe. I don’t know if the Picts were the only group of people to do so, but outside of the Picts and the Barbarians (I believe were Goths) during the fall of rome I haven’t heard of anyone else.
Is because the ancient gods are not a myth , what the Bible show in Adan and Eve was an extra dimension context by advanced entitys , this are made pure energy , the other dimension is hell and I assure you is the biggest secret , we in an explanation to test out soul , freedom is over after death , the potion were powerful drugs maybe Nero toxin to enter alter states of minds , they are use in satanic rituals , I was an atheist did research in secret society, they are real , control all states and have secret agendas to corrupt human so hell Winn new souls .

Plenty of sons just suck at ruling a country or commanding troops because they were born into the easy life, but I guess Carthage losing in the First Punic War is what propped up Hannibal, who knows ?
If Carthage won and we had a Second Punic War, Hannibal would be the downfall of Carthage.
Another example is selim and his son Suleiman the magnificent who were both conquered large amount of territories and entire kingdoms
The second one is even more epic than the first.
Are ancanstors war brutal
Rome is so strong because they were super modern.. They had new tactics and ideas that probably nobody had seen in the world. You must keep the time in mind. That's so Fucking long ago. Rome had a complete water system like that's so crazy..
That they literally copied from other cultures. I'm not saying Rome wasn't an impressive empire but a lot of tactics and technology was copied off of other cultures
@@VSES-99293 Yeah.. In a time where "stealing" or imitating other cultures was considered weak.. It was quite modern for the Romans to recognize the good things in other cultures.. But they not only copied.. They improved it incredibly. That's one of the reasons why Rome is THE history today... When you think of strength or progress... Rome is always the first thing that comes to mind and conversation... Because that's how it is.
One interesting things that Oversimplified didn't mention about the ending was that Hamilcar Barca didn't go back to Carthage after the war. Afterall, he basically saw the peace treaty as a betrayal of him and his men. He instead lead his mercenaries (who over the war had become to him rather than Carthaginian money) to form a settlement in spain. That settlement evolved into the city of Barcelona.
Your videos are well edited. Good job.
cant wait for the second punic wars so vengence can be shown
finna be it
Yeah but they could not destroy Rome. Rome managed to hang on even after loosing massive armies.
In the end, the third punic, Rome came back swinging and wiped Carthage out of existence.
The Roman’s are Chads.
This was funny to watch also react to Sml movie awaken.
The "HANNIBA-" at the end is exactly what I came for
watch oversimplified ww2 pls bro
fr
I really suggest you take a look at the oversimplified videos that you haven’t watched yet since those are very funny and informative as well :)
I'll check it out!
Watching you react to this video was great. Funny thing is that this was supposed to be covered in grade school. Great job public education.
The Spartans are overrated, largely thanks to Zack Snider. The Macedonians were far more successful against the Persians. Alexander the Great is mythic levels of legendary and his victories are studied to this day. Plus, people don't need to be greek, a historian, or watch a movie to recognize Alexander's name. Practically everyone, regardless of where they're from has heard it before, even if they don't know anything else about him.
Nice that you did both parts in one
Always have, always will 💪
Yep Ba'al Hammon is the same Canaanite deity the Cannanites (Phonecians) sacrificed their children to in the Old Testament in the Bible.
"Tell that to a modern woman nowadays." I couldn't agree more. 😂🤣😂
HANNIBAL!
Imagine if it had been Remus who committed fratricide. "Rome" would be "Reme" and that just doesn't have the same ring.
ReboundLeader XCIX is the Roman numeral for 99, so that sign actually says „I got 99 problems but Rome ain‘t one“.
16:00 If you hate the Romans so much Watch "Hannibal, Romes biggest enemy by HistoryMarch"
Honestly people doing horrible things for their religious or spiritual beliefs is a long lasting and still current problem. Animal sacrifice is still pretty common. And in Africa many people who have albinism are still kidnapped, dismembered, and their body parts sold for religious rituals and potions. Some families will even sell their albino children to these butchers. Even when they’re not being ritualistically slaughtered, they still face government and society discrimination.
I think it was the 1700s when people started having conversations about slavery. The UK & France were the first countries to fully outlaw slavery. The last country to ban slavery was in the 1980s I believe, a west African country called Mauritania. However slavery wasn’t a punishable offense in Mauritania until ~2005. It’s believed that more anti-slavery protesters are jailed in Mauritania than enslavers. Heck even in America slavery is still an issue with an estimated 400,000 people being enslaved in US borders at any given time, many of which are illegal immigrants who were exploited by the very people that smuggled them into the country. I wished they taught slavery better in US schools, many Americans don’t understand how slavery is a global and still occurring problem.
But since you hate the Romans so much. I recently started learning more about the history of my Irish/Scottish ancestry and the Picts, the indigenous people of the British isles, were able to defeat the Roman army during their Christianization of Europe. I don’t know if the Picts were the only group of people to do so, but outside of the Picts and the Barbarians (I believe were Goths) during the fall of rome I haven’t heard of anyone else.
Is because the ancient gods are not a myth , what the Bible show in Adan and Eve was an extra dimension context by advanced entitys , this are made pure energy , the other dimension is hell and I assure you is the biggest secret , we in an explanation to test out soul , freedom is over after death , the potion were powerful drugs maybe Nero toxin to enter alter states of minds , they are use in satanic rituals , I was an atheist did research in secret society, they are real , control all states and have secret agendas to corrupt human so hell Winn new souls .
Happy Black History Month! Hannibal Rules. Scipio Drools!
Carthage: Ha we gottem!
Rome:NOPE
