ancient egypt going here [Music] biblical chronology let's go you easy lights back to sleeping [Music] all right i already get i already get to throw up a uh a a history lesson here the pyramids were not built by israelites they would have predated them by many centuries and in fact pyramids were likely paid by waged workers we've seen they were paid in things like like commodities like like beer to be honest like modern beer or not modern beer ancient form of beer and uh other types of agricultural products we have actually quite a lot of evidence that they were actually paid workers nevertheless i don't want to ruin the joke man captivity blows back there sphynx predates the pyramids as well [Music] oh now we got romans coming in suffering sarcophagus my tomb who come on confess don't make me slay all the firstborn males again burning tree all right we're going biblical now we're going old testament getting to all that we got some moses action going on here is bart going to

toilets egyptians only make it snappy it's almost lunchtime all right read me banked what i have so far mrs krabapatra bird bird giant eye pyramid bird hieroglyphics uh giant eye dead fish cat head cat head cat head guy doing this interesting if you didn't know the uh process to or knowledge to uh decipher hieroglyphics was gone for um centuries um actually it had kind of fallen out of disuse um and a lot of that it's it kind of it changes over time but um hieroglyphics were also largely used for for ceremonial purposes like religious purposes you know an egyptian religion kind of gets replaced later on with other uh uh belief systems specifically like islam or something like that uh um even even kind of before then the hieroglyphics and understanding of them actually got lost for a long time and actually wasn't decoded it was gone for centuries wasn't decoded um and understood again until discovery of the rosetta stone by the french in um they're in the 1800s early 1800s with the napoleonic wars and things like that and then that rosetta stone uh if you don't know about it is um an inscription written in back in the era when the greeks ruled over egypt after the conquest of alexander the great and the ptolemaic dynasty and they used to publish things in greek as well as in hieroglyphics and they use because greek has never been a lost language that's one of the oldest continually popular languages in the world and they use the greek to translate the hieroglyphics and that's how we got to know it in in the mid 1800s or so it was finally like decoded again if you want to call it that on kids there were shafts in the pyramids they had an astronomical uh the shafts in the great pyramid are actually interestingly aligned with a couple's constellations with um osiris and also isis so like the queen's jabers pointed to isis which is like a goddess of fertility um personified in star constellations and then um orion which is osiris god of the god of the afterlife but also would probably double serve as ventilation shafts for workers am i talking too much history okay jesus christ versus checkered chariot people's court with jesus and now do you get hurt now i'm not saying jezebel's easy but before she moved to sodom it was known for its pottery are we going roman numerals [Music] without your precious hair you no longer possess your fancy david future king of the israelites stupid king of troy i think i speak for all the greeks when i say or jump into trojan wars for too long i'll say um that's a mycenean tale the greeks before we think of the greeks right the myceneans are the pre-greeks that's where that story comes from the homeric poems but also yeah in literature like that but i'm interestingly too if you didn't know the greek mythology and whole pantheon of gods predates the greeks as we know them and would have come through the mycenaean culture bringing that down so it was ancient even to greeks i'd really like to go out and get the mail [Music] anyway you got trojan horoscope sure one of your soldiers mentioned that you collect giant wooden animals we hope you don't have a horse well they got another animal we have one from you they do have a few should have been the trojan pig now throughout history when people get wood they'll think of trojans [Music] don't look it up kids don't look it up if you don't know population can return to ithaca and my sweet wife penelope odysseus do not forget to thank the gods for our victory with an appropriate animal sacrifice forget it sacrificing animals is barbaric now have the slaves kill the wounded oh jeez gods up on the olympus sacrifice we'll teach that mortal the trifle with the gods [Music] um they weren't sure if troy had even existed they thought the whole thing might have been or at least didn't know the location and things of troy and um back in the early 20th century i want to say early 1900s that's right is it schliemann or what was the german guy's name the archaeologist anyway um had found what they believe is troy and was able to identify it in uh western turkey and interestingly there is a bunch of evidence of it in fact burning down no evidence necessarily of the old wooden horse but nevertheless it did get burned down so might have been based on that stuff and that's what you know you can think about a lot of mythology not just greek mythology is you know the the gods and these ancient warriors someone like achilles or something you know very well might have been people that had existed but then through oral traditions generation after generation the stories become larger than life where all of a sudden that soldier who maybe have been really good all of a sudden they're like you know as the story goes on you talk about how many people they killed or whatever and they couldn't be killed and then all of a sudden it takes like demigod status or god status and you know someone like zeus or something might have been like a mycenaean king or based off of one at some point and then just throughout tradition and with the story changing uh again a lot over time it's may have made that character literally like larger than life you're gonna be asking that the whole trip it's been so many years since i've seen your father i hope he's still the magnificent physical specimen he was when he walks nope mom maybe it's time to choose a suitor yeah just go stew discus stew has discussed middle ages that's why it's under years war it took too long it was launched one arrow back and forth a hundred years war uh just after the plague actually so we're talking 14th oh century my troll where is your sister joan rose morning bells are jealous morning bells are ringing french she's talking to her invisible friend god yeah that's what she said but she used to speak to god and god basically you know in the midst of the war because actually in the beginning of the war um the english were said to be kind of the ones winning with their longbows they both had knights and stuff the longbow being this great weapon of the english and the french had crossbows which are useful but they're slower but they're easier to learn take less technique and technical skill to do the big turning event they say though of the 100 years war was the french development and use of cannons because english castles were like impenetrable and cannons were developed from a technology the gunpowder technology coming over from the east actually from the mongols trouser travels over to the silk road eventually gets to western europe where it's weaponized and used and starts to be used in siege warfare in kind of its infancy there but yeah joan of arc french teenager was said to have been called by god that she would lead the french armies to victory [Music] you know french for one well you keep switching back between french and english just fire the damn thing what do you say yeah it's gonna do nothing you need you need gun powder not gonna work my fault this time i didn't talk in my legs could issues the power of our beloved tyrants [Applause] that attacking again i thought we had a truce just because you keep saying it doesn't make it so my way save yourself she gets captured by the english by the way who see her not only as a military enemy but also as a heretic because you know for the english the the first of god's not going to speak to people especially not your enemy that is promising victory against you don't worry beloved parents god won't let anything happen to me huh getting kind of hot around here she dies what happened dad they didn't really burn her yes they did if your idea of a first date is burning down her village you just might be a viking fair that's fair that's what i get for sitting up front eh furiously typing people the there were no horns on vikings that is bullcrap i have no idea where the heck does the paul bunyan story come from it makes no sense it's american right like i know it's supposed to it's like an american folk tale but where the heck did that come from let me know in the comments if you know the origination [Music] and if it didn't yeah if it was supposed to be fake always and why was the the bowl or whatever oh that's how death valley why is he blue that's how death valley was created big holes with beer national park okay i don't i've never

buffalo making them basically in danger now because there used to be so many of them and they got just absolutely slaughtered [Music] hey i found a bullet man buffalo are easy to kill people if you don't stop this water you'll wipe out the buffalo what happens without an entire species well that's impossible humans [Music] so connie roamed the prairie alone planting apple seeds all along the way apples here's another one like where did that come from is there's a book of tales that like like the paul bunyan and johnny appleseed are those supposed to be based off of real people i don't even

about it coming to uh well midwest america at this time but maybe it did yes if you think my prices are high go across the street crazy fact by the way about opium opium made up something like one fifth or one six or something of the entire economy of the british empire drugs literally like a fifth of their economy based off of drug trafficking in the 19th century that's why they put their foot down so hard when the the chinese um tried to ban it and you get the opium wars which led to a british victory and uh take over a lot of territory 99 it's like expensive our [Music] to be burned at
