I grew up reading articles on National Geographic magazines (my dad was a subscriber) and books about shipwrecks and sunken places. Drain the Oceans series rekindled that childhood interest, this time on screen. Thank you NG! Looking forward to more informative content from your channel.
I think often about how Alexander the Great could have lived longer and established a good succession plan of power. This would have stopped the power vacuum that existed once he died young. The Roman Empire would have never had the chance to grow as they did since the Greeks - and the Persians who were defeated by the Greeks - would have limited their power. What would the world look like today had Alexander lived to be closer to 60yo rather than 30yo?…
Ancient Rome is so fascinating to me. I love that videos like this exist on the internet for free, for all the nerds like me. Ancient technology was truly incredible and I hope that when I get to heaven, I'll have to chance to go back in time and be a fly on the wall to see its true marvel.
I think this was very interesting and informative. Taking ashes to make concrete for in the ocean is brilliant thinking. Too bad it didn’t last very long. Thanks Nat Geo
The fact that we get free documentaries on UA-cam by National Geographic is truly a gift. 👏👏👏 May I also remind you the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions. Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shocking sad truth. 😔 In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people. Notorious global cardinal crimes the Christian West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 😔
This is beautiful. Exactly what i needed. Just read a bunch of books Roman history. This brings the words come live and puts things in proper order. massively thank you. 🙏
Always have an ear for history and it is much more exciting to watch now that NG has this drain the ocean! It feels like you travel back in time. I am so amuse!
I love ancient history. Watching videos like this makes me feel like i was there during that time... I am imagining also while watching what happened during those years.. So interesting And to those very intelligent people who are not giving up on discovering our past and sharing it to us now, thank you so much. For them, it might just a simple passion but for us or for me specially,(who loves history more than anything else) it is very helpful and very interesting learning what happened in the past.❤
I've been around fishing boats, sailboats, and others since I was old enough to walk. Fishermen and sailors over history have put lead, rocks, or other heavy objects as low as possible in the boat along the keel to help balance the boat or provide ballast. If you look at US Coast Guard charts, you will see areas marked "Dumping Zone." This was used to dump ballast before taking on a cargo. A ship "in ballast" means it has no cargo, only the weight along the keel to keep her upright. This may have been an imperial ship sent to fetch cargo to bring back to Rome, but this is just my speculation. What is clear from the evidence provided is that she was hit by a sudden gust of wind causing the cargo to shift, the next gust, with no counterbalance caused the vessel to ship water and slide sideways under the sea to rest on her starboard side.
The secrets of Roman success are not just found in their physical structures but also in the way they assimilated and managed diverse cultures. The artifacts unearthed speak volumes about their diplomacy and cultural integration.
@@JaneH3675 The only thing they forced was membership in the empire, i.e., taxes. All provinces were left alone otherwise, i.e., vis-a-vis culture, religion, jurisprudence, governance, etc.
Growing up, documentaries like this one were a staple to me. Back then, the only access to history content was television channels like the Nat Geo, Discovery, and History channel. With UA-cam and everything, I've been watching a lot of raw documentaries. Of course, most of them don't have the solid reputation like Nat Geo, but they all are way more interesting than this made-for-dramatic-tv production. I think we have passed that history is for nerds phase, especially since "everyone" is thinking about Roman Empire. Please move on from the old techniques, Nat Geo. Let's burn the template of Breaking the Magician's Code. ❤
How has the sea level not risen back to its Roman era heights? Also, shouldn't it have gone in the opposite direction? Have the ice caps gained more mass in the past two thousand years? With this climate subject, a lot of things don't really add up.
Sound effects a bit much - spoils the very interesting content. I know the constant repetition is designed for TV ad placement but seems as if theres not enough content or they assume people watching will not recall the last bit before the Ad.
I would love to know if any of the amphorae still had liquid in them. I really wish I could get the information on the exact examination of the Garum. What fish, what herbs if any, what other additives. It is fish sauce and not really any different than what the Thai use.
If we could travel back in time, ancient Rome would be my 1st choice. Highly recommend 1950's British travel journalist H.V. Morton's book "A traveller in Rome", revealing the unknown sides of the ancient & modern city, it's architectural, religious, cultural, historical facts, plus some local food & drinks at hundreds years old shops etc. Enjoy Rome like a local, discovering something new during each visit, that's the charm I love about this eternal city...
1. How long did Rome dominate the Western world? 2. Rome was the world's first what? 3. What was the key to the Roman Empire? 4. What did the Roman Emperors need in order to hold on to power? 5. How far is Rome from the sea? 6. According to historical texts, the mouth of what river held the Roman Port, Portus? 7. How far from the coast of the Mediterranean is the six sided 80 acre lake that appears to be manmade? 8. When was one of the vessels dated back to? 9. What other evidence was found not far away from the wooden boats? 10. What are marine concretions? 11. Why couldn't the River Tiber be used for ocean going vessels transporting goods to Rome? 12. What are the sides of hexagonal basin? 13. How many vessels could the great basin hold? 14. What surrounded the hexagonal lake besides warehouses and harbor offices? 15. What was the shipwreck off the coast of Spain, near the city of Alicante, named? 16. What was the shipwreck's cargo? 17. How big was the shipwreck off of Alicante? 18. What was being carried in the amphorae? 19. What were the ingots on the shipwreck made of? 20. What did the mark IMP on the ingots indicate? 21. When were the coins stamped? 22. How much of the great fire of Rome destroy? 23. What does Nero's palace, Domus Aurea, mean? 24. What sank the shipwreck off of Alicante? 25. What did the Romans call modern day Israel? 26. What is a sure sign that all the rocks on the ocean floor are manmade? 27. How many acres did Caesarea Maritima Harbor span? 28. What unusual mineral was in the sediment from the time of the harbour? Where did it come from? 29. What did this mineral allow the Romans to do? 30. What could have caused the harbor to collapse?
I love thses videos but I wish they would ease up on the sound effects. Face it, the people who watch them are intelligent and very inerested in the content. NG doesn't have to make them into psuedo block buster action movies. You got us hooked Give us a little peace to think about what we just learned. No explosions or slashing noises. The sound efffects are just a bit much especially if you have to use head[hones. Thanks.
i can watch this on my data and not get charged, you may ask, how?, my dad works at a telecom company (which i will not disclose) and i get 50 gb per month for free. @@MrMambott
Shouldn't there be some historical written record of a canal system used to ferry grain shipments from the coastal waters to the city of Rome? It seems to me it shouldn't be that big of a mystery.
Did the sea drop from its levels 2000 years ago. If so why are we currently so afraid of the sea levels rising. Surely they are just returning to previous levels?
Why didn’t the boat turn back into port when the storm approached? Or for that matter why didn’t they remain at port and wait out the storm before setting out to sea?
The title should have been different. It's an overstatement in my opinion. I came here for swords, wars, blood, debauchery, strategic geniuses, diplomacy etc. On the 10th minute, I was bored and gave up.
Ceasarea Maratima. Where did the rocks the made the breakwaters and other needs for a great harbor come from? How did they bring in that much rock from their site?
Who loves history as much as me. Its amazing to find all these great things from the past
Glad this is for the public. No hoarding.
i love history which allows me watch any episodes without escaping even a bit seccond

This is to show how ancient technology are much better and advanced than we ever imagined,thanks Natgeo
Drain the Oceans episodes are always fantastic.
We love Drain the Oceans!❤
@@NatGeo Where would you put all that water?
Thanks for the wonder that is nat geo❤❤
I think about the Roman Empire for at least five times a week, thank you Nat Geo
Let me get this straight you think about the Romans daily, EXCEPT on weekends?
@@ChaselifePresumably like most men, I wouldn't exclude the weekends, because sports reminds us of gladiators and tactical battle maneuvers

I finally hit that point in life where all I want to learn about is Ancient Rome

Here while studying. I need a break, and with animation. Glad to be here. We need more tv shows depicting histories
This is the Nat Geo I want to see more of
Glad this is free and for the public.
Now i can think about and watch about the Roman Empire at the same time!

Persian empire is a very important part of history. A documentary showing its greatness would be an important addition to this channel
you guys should really do this drain the ocean thing on the bermuda triangle
Im very interested of fall Roman empire and crucial reasons of that act. Thx!
Great research. Really interesting. Thanks for the upload.
I think about it everyday now, thanks to my job. No regrets.

If ever time travel would be possible i would love to see the Roman Empire functioning
Thank you for sharing with us!
Love NatGeo. ❤ Time to make hollywood movie " The Rise of Rome".
The Roman's took technology to another level....
Thousand year later...
The Americans took technology to another level...

History are the best knowledge for younger,they conscious about the past.
This is fascinating on its own. The melodramatic music and extreme enunciation are a bit much. Roman infrastructure ruins? Found near . . . ROME??
I often think about the Roman Empire⚔️
As always, I appreciate your insightful and helpful videos.
It's so cool imagining them having warehouse jobs like we do.

No, they weren't.
excellent documentary ..but how come rome never recover from its demise .. as super power ..please investigate...
