Historian Reacts - What Are The Worst Unknown Facts Of History? (r/AskReddit)

welcome back everyone to another reaction video first of all i want to say a big thank you for a couple of things uh number one i did a video yesterday i think a lot of you saw it already it's got over 40 000 views in the first 24 hours which is really really good for this channel um basically talking about politics and uh some of that obviously was potentially pretty controversial but you guys have just been phenomenal uh i've seen a ton of comments from people saying wow i can't believe how civil the comment section is and so far i i think i've only had to delete one comment out of all of them so that says a lot about you guys now granted i haven't looked at it for a few hours i needed a break but thank you for that uh especially when it came to stuff that i know many of you feel very strongly about and i may have said something that was very opposite of what you think uh that's the power of this community and what i love about it is that we all come from different nationalities different backgrounds different beliefs different political viewpoints but we all love history and that's why we're here so thank you uh for keeping that civil it's not something i'm gonna do a lot of you know here and there things like that but anyway um i wanted to do something a little different today and i stumbled upon a channel that had this video what are the worst unknown facts of history uh and it's actually like an ask reddit type of thing i haven't watched it yet but i thought maybe it might be kind of interesting to get into a little bit so i don't know exactly what we're diving into but here we go other thing i want to say thank you for is thank you to everybody who's checked out the new podcast episode 2 of the podcast is now live and i don't know why my lighting keeps changing i'm going to try to fix that here in a minute episode 2 of the podcast is now live it's about the story of alvin york it's about 50 minutes long a lot of detail i couldn't cover in my video from france about that so please check that out if you get a chance let's dive into this what are some weird historical facts or events that most people don't know about as a child queen victoria was isolated and emotionally abused by her mother and her mother's scheming friend sir john conroy they hoped to make the young victoria the heir is presumptive weak willed and dependent on them so that they could control her when she became queen and be the power behind the throne so queen victoria um became queen because she came about i think she was born in 1819 she came about at a time in history when uh first of all her grandfather king george iii had been on the throne for a really long time uh he died i think right after she was born in 1820 um and and she was the daughter of like the third or fourth son in that family but the first several sons had no legitimate children that they could pass the throne on to and so when king george the third dies in 1820 his son george iv becomes king after that george iv passes the throne to his brother william iv uh who becomes king and then when william dies i think 1837 when victoria is like 18 years old victoria comes to the throne because her father has already died at that point so yeah um her her mother kind of is con very controlling of her there's some excellent movies and tv shows about victoria's life that portrayed this really well but as soon as victoria turned 18 and she becomes queen she threw off those shackles in a hurry obviously this didn't work it did exactly the opposite of working the only reason king tut is considered famous is because his tomb was one of few and touched by tomb robbers because he was at an important to us all major pharaohs had i don't know if it was untouched by tomb robbers because he was unimportant or if just there was some other reason why but yeah on the grand scheme of pharos not real important he was teenager he was only uh pharaoh for a few years the first tomb discovered during the time with everything intact he wasn't an influential or all that memorable pharaoh of his time yeah and uh fascinating story though and the guys who found his tomb i think it was financed by a guy named lord carnarvon uh howard carter was the main archaeologist in charge of that uh there's a lot of deaths that were like untimely and a little bit weird and strange and that gave rise to the idea that maybe there was this curse involved and who knows king tut is to king edward v.i of england too young to rule and die too early to be effective so king edward vi king edward vi was the son of henry viii he was the long sought after son you know henry viii everything later in his life was motivated by having a male heir and edward vi was the son of his third wife jane seymour uh and yeah he died as a teenager and kind of threw the the realm into turmoil because his older sister married then came to the throne i think the most fascinating part about this is that his tomb still had intricate artifacts that to us are incredibly ornate i cannot begin to imagine what was in an important pharaoh's tomb before the mid-19th century dentures were commonly made with teeth pulled from the mouths of dead soldiers dead soldiers um slaves animals even sometimes great executed his wife's lover then forced her to keep her lover's head in a jar of alcohol in her bedroom peter don't mess around that is next level vicious right there i didn't know that and i'm not 100 sure i would assume it's true because the other ones have been true so far but dang thomas jefferson had s-ram as a pet he called it the abominable animal it was aggressive as heck and jefferson usually tied it outside buildings he was in and it attacked a lot of people just walking by it killed a boy even he only had it killed once it started attacking his other sheeps i want to look that one up because man that's interesting so this comes directly from monticello's website monticello being thomas jefferson's home by the spring of 1808 there was almost 40 presidential sheep grazing on the square in front of the president's house if it had been the year 2000 they would have also they would have had a flock of lawsuits several unsuspecting pedestrians tried to take a shortcut across the square met the shetland ram and were vanquished in their encounter one william keough wrote jefferson that in passing through the president's square was attacked and severely wounded and bruised by your excellencies ram which lay ill for fi of which lay ill for five or six weeks [Music] diary of jefferson's friend anna maria thornton was a fine little boy killed by the ram that the president has so it not only killed a kid it did that while he was president of the united states that is a hardcore wtf thomas endorsed products like modern sports stars do eastern spices taste so good albert could have been president of israel when he was that is true but he declined he he did uh when they formed israel in the aftermath of world war ii uh albert einstein who by this time was in america uh had been offered that and there were several other pretty prominent people uh prominent jews who were offered the presidency of israel but he did decline classic sheen a spiritualist who believed in harnessing orgone as in orgasm energy sent einstein what is fundamentally a nonsense machine for harnessing the energy einstein spent an afternoon trying to analyze this thing before sending an apologetic letter explaining that this machine was just nonsense ah the first vibrator benjamin franklin wrote an essay about farts that doesn't surprise me even a tiny bit that is completely in keeping benjamin franklin was a very uh off-color dude he was a very unconventional person he was way ahead of his time in some ways he was really in some ways a man of the 20th century caught in the 18th century um wow yeah doesn't surprise me and another about how young men should sleep with old women also doesn't surprise me 26th president theodore roosevelt was an ardent supporter of william howard taft the two were longtime friends and taft was roosevelt's most trusted cabinet member when roosevelt's latter term came to her close he successfully campaigned for taft selection to the presidency i don't know that any of this is a surprise though i think this is pretty well known to most students of history however when taft began enacting many policies that his predecessor found disagreeable roosevelt grew sour towards his friend he vied for the republican presidential nomination and failed which brought literally marched his supporters out of the republican convention hall and created a new party under this new party's banner roosevelt split the republican vote and ensured taft's defeat the bull moose party teddy didn't take no ball but that campaign gave us one of the most hardcore epic moments in presidential history when teddy roosevelt was shot on his way to give a speech and then gave the over hour long speech anyway with the bullet in his chest before going to get checked out thomas jefferson collected so many books in his lifetime that he would go into debt after the british burned washington dc in the battle of 1812 he sold most of his books to the library of the battle of 1812 um i guess they mean the war of 1812. burning washington actually happened not in 1812 um but yeah um jefferson had a very lavish lifestyle he spent money as fast as he made it actually spent money faster than he made it so that doesn't surprise congress to replace those that were lost in the fire jefferson had spent 50 years accumulating a wide variety of books in several languages and in many subjects including philosophy science literature architecture law religion and mathematics and jefferson was a deist which means that he he believed in god but he basically believed that god kind of created the world and the universe and everything kind of set everything in motion and then is no longer involved um and so he actually had his own version of the bible that he had taken out all the references to miracles like in the gospels and basically turned jesus into a you know very good philosopher but nothing more the nearly 6500 books netted him 23 950 on the lewis and clark expedition a vote regarding what's direction they should go was held on the coast of washington amongst the party members this vote included sacagawea and york lewis slave thus because the expedition was funded by the u.s military this was the first time in american history where a woman and black man were allowed to participate in a vote of any kind related to government affairs i never heard it described that way but that's actually kind of awesome when you think about it that's pretty cool legend holds that the renaissance artist rafael died of exhaustion and fatigue due to excessive fornication with his mistress foreigner all right we're gonna look that one up too because that it says legend has it i wonder if there's any truth to that one at all so first of all it's important to point out that raphael was only 37 when he died it may have been his 37th birthday he died on good friday 15 20. um and it says he says here vasari so there was a writer who said that raphael had also been born on a good friday which fell on uh march 28th in 1483 and the artist died from exhaustion brought on by unceasing romantic interests while he was working on the logia several other possibilities for his death have been raised by later historians and scientists such as a combination of infectious disease and bloodletting but it seems like at least a guy who was fairly contemporary of raphael says that's what happened so could be adam tss hitler's original plan for the jewish was to deport them to madagascar when that failed for obvious reasons mass forever sleep was the backup uh yeah if you want some insight into that just read about the vonnecy conference which was the conference where they kind of finalized the plans or set in motion the plans for the final solution yeah there was a lot of debate about what to do it wasn't originally a thing where they just decided right away it was going to be max mass executions uh they kind of build up to that over one-third of the men who served in the waffen-ss were neither german nor ethic german common or ethic german i think it's pretty safe to say that none of the people who served in the waffen ss were very ethical people yeah um yeah that's actually true um in fact i believe um if you've seen band of brothers there's the the big battle at the crossroads that they have where they ambush and basically destroy two companies of waffen-ss um i think they were off an ss um and uh a couple of them when they're captured say that they're polish and i think sergeant martin says there's no polls in the ss well there actually were some at that point late in the war i believe uh don't count on that being 100 true and if i'm wrong on that please somebody correct me the sound made by the krakatoa volcanic eruption in 1883 was so loud it ruptured eardrums of people 40 miles away traveled around the world four times and was clearly heard three thousand miles away that yeah so um the the traveled around the world four times there were actually sensors that that were set up that could detect like vibrations from sound and they did indeed detect the sound waves from the krakatoa explosion krakatoa is down in uh uh southeast asia um indonesia area that part of the world um and uh yeah it detected that sound wave traveling around the world several times fascinating uh just devastating and the reason that it exploded the way that it did is because when the mountain basically collapsed into the sea uh that hot lava hitting that cold ocean water instantly just caused an explosion that's like you standing in new york and hearing a sound from san francisco you didn't have to be ethnically spanish to be a conquested or there were conquistadors from england and germany but the rules to become one involved hispanicizing your name and converting to catholicism if you weren't already catholic interesting hernando di soto is responsible for the collapse of several north american civilizations in the death of untold millions of people he and his band of men were the first europeans to make a concerted expedition into what's now the usa he started in florida and eventually his men made it to louisiana with many detours along the way desoto dies along the way but that's an important what's important is that they brought about 300 pigs with them for food because they breed quickly and can live off of almost anything unfortunately they also serve as a host for various diseases that humans are susceptible to lots of the pigs escaped reproduced destroyed farmland and spread diseases by the time the next europeans came to those areas the civilizations de soto and his men saw had utterly collapsed and the population had catastrophically fallen as well similarly the vast numbers of buffalo and passenger pigeons are though to be a result of the death of north american native peoples and the collapse of their civilizations particularly the ability to maintain agricultural systems that's also thought to be tied to a period of global cooling as an entire continent's worth of people stopped using fire to control plant growth and forests expanded massively resulting and vast amounts of co2 being pulled from the atmosphere magellan is not the first person to circumnavigate the globe he never made it he died in the philippines so this whole thing about all that stuff and then right at the end they throw in magellan i don't know somebody here likes the sound of their own voice i think there was a 100 hour i know i get it i talk for a living i just indicted myself by saying that that is not lost on me don't worry a war between el salvador and honduras in 1969 the war caused the death of about 3 000 people the war was triggered by a football soccer game it has been known as the football war there's an oversimplified about that we've done that one and we still hate each other to this day also i love your username it is common practice to wear the bottom button of the vest waistcoat undone sometimes vests are even cut with the bottom edge curving away so that the button is purely decorative the reason for this is that edward vi of england was a fattest so edward vii was uh queen victoria's son uh he became king and uh after he was a lot like prince charles in that he had a mother who just wouldn't die right just was on the throne forever she was on the throne for like 60 years and uh finally when edward the seventh comes to the throne it's at the end of his life in 1901 and so he's only on the throne for like nine ten years himself and is purely decorative the reason for this is that edward v i of england was a fattest he ended his bottom butting for gut comfort and it turned into the story however he has imitated him relatedly the fashion of wearing wigs which prevailed in european fashion for 150 years started because the french king got bald and needed one the roman senate of the roman republic wasn't officially supposed to be a legislative body with authority to pass laws officially it could only recommend legislation to the magistrates who didn't technically have to obey however there was an extremely strong precedent to obey official advice from the senate so it almost always was followed during the republican period during the empire the authority of the senate was reduced further it it's one of those things where a body gives itself power that it otherwise didn't have same kind of thing happens in the united states when the united states supreme court in marbury versus madison basically gives itself the power of what we call judicial review which means the power to decide if a law is constitutional or not there was nothing really clear that said they could do that but ever since we've just kind of accepted that they can it's worth noting however that the senate didn't only issue advice outside of legislative issues they did have other authorities and powers in addition to the immense influence they carried something i always like to talk about there once existed an alleged theoretical state of war that lasted 335 years and 19 days and was between the dutch and an archipelago off the coast of south west england called the isles of scilly what's more there were no casualties because the dutch forgot that they were at war with the isles it's one of those things that happens a lot where something legally exists but nobody really even pays attention to the fact that it exists there was a mix-up with ohio ohio where i live became the 17th state in march of uh 1803 but something happened and like not all the eyes got crossed they're dotted and the t's got crossed and it wasn't until like the middle of the 20th century that they figured it out and fixed the loophole that kind of technically meant ohio wasn't really a state it wasn't until a silly historian contacted the dutch about the war in 1985 and received the information that the war was still technically ongoing that a peace treaty was signed in 1986 please tell me that they called it the silly war i don't even know if that's how that's pronounced probably skilly and if they gathered to end this war and the leaders started arguing about who won so much so that a real war would break out fidel castro actually wanted to be allies with america since they were only 70 miles north a world superpower and cuba desperately needed economic assistance and the united states uh cuba before the communist revolution in cuba was a very popular tourist destination for a lot of especially wealthy americans you see that in the movie the godfather where they're spending a lot of time in cuba and in the middle of it i think it's godfather two right in the middle of us when the revolution breaks out but because of containment and strong anti-communist sentiment isn't however and nixon both refused to meet him so castro turned to the other world superpower the soviet union for economic assistance and khrushchev welcomed him with open arms and that's how the cuban missile crisis began not really weird but a fun piece of history that not many people is know about as the origin of an announcer calling a horse race on the 5th of february 1927 in tijuana mexico there was a film being shot at the racetrack a track official noticed the way a director was using a microphone and a loud speaker to direct his crew and actors during the filming the idea came to him that if he had a microphone set up in the students booth that led to a set of speakers he could call the positions of the horses like a director gave direct really that later that day he had it set up without telling any of the patrons to the track about it when people first experienced it they were extremely confused before that people would keep track of the horses themselves with binoculars and often were unable to get a great view at certain angles it's amazing how certain things that we now take for granted and we just assume have always been that way at one point were new and seemed really weird to people those who are my age we can remember before they were uh hdtvs right and i don't know if you remember the first time you watched tv on an led or well it would have been led it would have been an lcd or on a plasma tv it looked weird it took some getting used to because there was so much more detail and so much more clarity and color that it looked strange now we're used to it that's the way tv looks and now we get 4k and 8k and all that stuff but you know back in the day when we had just the tube televisions that there were 480 max it took some getting used to after they got used to it they loved hearing a race being called and it became an everyday thing at that small track now it's an extremely important part of modern day racing all across the world and even people that aren't familiar with the sport know about it during his travels in africa the guy that invented jameson liquor bought an 11 year old girl as a slave and then fed her to cannibals just to see what it was like wait that that that cannot be true i'm sure it is but we're gonna look that one up okay so first of all it wasn't the guy who founded jameson jameson whiskey because that guy was born in the 1700s uh this was his heir uh so like a descendant of his uh and in his own journals he witnessed the brutal murder and cannibalization of a young girl in what is now the democratic republic of congo in 1888 and played some part in its coming about according to jameson he expressed skepticism about the practice of cannibalism to which one of his fellow travelers supposedly replied give me a bit of cloth and see jameson provided six handkerchiefs to the man and the murder and mutilation of the girl ensued for understandable reasons this has been interpreted and presented over the years as jameson using his relative wealth and power to buy an african girl in order to satiate his own murderous perversions or curiosity however the time jameson protested against such characterizations insisted that he did not believe anyone would go through with any murderer cannibalization and describe the scene that followed as the most horribly sickening sight i am ever likely to see in my life so that's kind of a mix of things so it's not quite a hundred percent the way it went down he sketched while they ate her typing hard you sick b in medieval times the accused often faced a trial by ordeal where they were forced to stick their arm into a vat of boiling water if their arm emerged unscathed it was believed god protected them thus proving their innocence i believe that did happen i wouldn't describe it as something that happened often or regularly i think that probably at least happened a few times they also had a trial by iron up to the 18th century where you had to hold a red hot iron bar in your hand and run a specified distance the hand would then be wrapped up and you would wait a few days if your hand skin was corrupted when the bandages came off then that was god deeming you guilty and you were hanged simpler times the twilight zone was one of the first television shows to feature a nearly all black cast on a dramatic show that was was not dealing with racial issues this was all because of rod sereling who was quoted in saying television like its big sister the motion picture has been guilty of a sin of a mission hungry for talent desperate for the so-called new face constantly searching for a transfusion of new blood it has overlooked a source of wondrous talent that resides under its nose and let me tell you what as a kid growing up seeing twilight zone reruns on tv they were in black and white and you still saw occasional black and white shows on tv then um andy griffith re-runs the early ones and um gilligan's island early episodes uh but uh boy nothing freaked me out like the twilight zone man i will never forget that famous episode with william a young william shatner who looks phenomenal for being in his 90s by the way but that that episode where he saw the thing on the wing that was like ripping up the plane and when he like tried to do something about it thing looked at him and went like that with its finger oh my gosh that creeped me out so bad there's something on the wing some thing oh it was fantastic this is the negro actor the episode was the big tall wish which was part of the first season of the show and it was awarded the 1961 unity award for outstanding contributions to better race relations pope gregory ix called for black cats to be killed as he believed they are incarnations of satan the mass killing of cats increased the number of rats in europe the increased number of rats helped to spread the plague throughout europe he also had a steam yacht called the source issue which was moored off the west indies in which he hosted the entire england cricket team in the balinese goddess of plenty wait wait wait wait wait there was an england cricket team at that time all right we gotta look this one up too all right apparently the second part is a reference to blackadder which i haven't seen yet but i really need to start watching because um it involves history and british humor both of which i love so that's a reference to that she hosted the entire england cricket team in the bolognese goddess of plenty thomas jefferson and john adams both died on the same day the 4th of july 1826 america's 50th birthday adam's last words were thomas jefferson survives he was wrong that's debated it was among his last words he may have said some things after that he definitely said thomas jefferson survives on that day after thomas jefferson had already died so that part is absolutely true whether or not that was the very last thing he said maybe maybe not but yeah there's a sense of irony there and and theirs is such a fascinating story and something we should probably talk more about sometime because they were both founding fathers they knew each other well they served in in a diplomatic role together they were both in the continental congress that passed the declaration of independence adams becomes president with jefferson as vice president for a time but they were political rivals at that point saw the role of government very differently jefferson defeats adams for re-election uh and they become bitter enemies for a time say terrible things in their proxies say terrible things about each other but then later on become friends and and honestly one of the most beautiful letters i've ever read in the english language was the letter that thomas jefferson wrote to john adams on the death of adam's wife abigail the words are just absolutely just the perfect tone and as much as i rip on thomas jefferson every chance i get because i really don't like the guy uh i can recognize that he was a brilliant writer and not only is the decoration of independence brilliant writing but that letter was too and then had died hours earlier in virginia max tremell a priest on a winter walk one day in 1894 witnessed a young boy slip through some broken ice on the river in and save the boy from certain drowning that boy was adolf hitler i've never heard that story before i know the story about henry tandy who was one of the highest most decorated british soldiers of the first world war supposedly having an opportunity to kill hitler on the battlefield and not doing it and they found out later in the 30s and that one's debated but i gotta look this up because i've never heard this story before so apparently this is a recent story and there was an article in a newspaper that describes max tremel rescuing a young boy from the river in january 1894 in pasal germany but there was no mention in the article of the name of the young boy but there's also a story in a book by anna elizabeth rosmus um describing how in 1894 the children were playing adolf fell into the river the water was freezing cold and et cetera et cetera and describes it so um i feel like i would need to know more but it seems like at least some historians are saying that it was indeed true but i don't know if i'd go there yet but that's plausible and then save the boy from certain drowning that boy was adolf hitler 10-minute lobotomies two methods we use either had to drill holes in header the later method that was using a metal picture was used to hammer through eye sockets in both method a metal instrument was used to mush brain local anesthesia was used the patient could go home in the same day the doctor did a couple of thousand of these and could do multiple surgeries a day i don't i don't think they mushed the brain what they did was they separated the frontal lobe it was called a frontal lobotomy and it would separate the frontal lobe from the rest of the brain it would leave it right in there but they would insert it up in there and then they would just it was just like a couple of hammer hits and boom that part of the brain was separated from the rest and it basically turned people into walking vegetables this was done to john f kennedy's sister and she was basically an invalid for the rest of her life it was it was a horrifying practice also because anaesthetic was costly they just stunned the patient with an electroshock therapy machine which was pretty commonly available salieri did not kill mozart this is a legend mozart drank and died in poverty i heard that it was also a myth that he died in poverty had a pauper's burial apparently a lot of money was spent on his funeral as well yeah i think that is a myth but i do believe his grave like many graves at that time was eventually reused i actually have something for this during the evacuation of dunkirk in world war ii in that moment of despair desperation and overall bleakness on the beach there was a worker strike by a group of british rail workers regarding isn't that convenient there's one of those about to happen right now and in england over time a very strange thing to happen in the face of events beach i'll say where's this dunkirk location with a tree mexico lost part of its territory in part due the abolishment of slavery that's true the romans and what what that's talking about is that that was one of the motivating factors in texas independence was that mexico abolished slavery in texas had a lot of slaves a lot of southern americans who had settled there who had slaves and that was indeed one of the motivating factors in texas wanting to be independent from mexico humans used human urinary wash president lbj wood of highways cleared out by the secret service get in a car with a six pack of beer and garnet down the highway downing beer after bear i've never heard that and i completely believe it because it is 100 in keeping with the personality of lyndon johnson you can leave texas but texas never leaves you lol the first vending machine dispensed holy water nice the tulsa oklahoma race riot in 1921 what was called the black wall street was burned to the ground and whites actually used machine guns on black people and freaking airplanes when fort sumter was attacked by the confederates in 1861 no one had gotten killed from the attack but the confederates later had a party for a reason i do not know drunk asses shot a gun it killed one of their own no so what really happened there and i know this one's not accurate because we're talking about the civil war this is my wheelhouse it was during the surrender ceremony uh and it was actually i think union soldier who was killed uh when they were firing guns like cannons during the surrender ceremony and it exploded and killed one of the people nearby but that was the only death that occurred during the fight otherwise the attack on fort sumter confederates kept on partying even though they saw the man dead the cia made a spy cat a cat that could lurk around and record information that they sunk several million dollars into and it promptly walked into traffic the soviets had anti-tank dogs yes i knew those that they strapped explosives to that didn't want to run at the tanks for obvious reasons and frequently blew up their own forces i always heard the soviet anti-tank dogs failed because they were trained with soviet tanks so promptly ignored the enemy and went straight towards soviet tanks as they were trained to do during the 16th century nicholas phuket was the minister of finances of france under king louisev he had the castle louis ziv louis the 14th levicond built for a shitload of money and had the most rad-off parties there 16th century they still said things like rad then he invited the king at one of those parties and made it the raidest of all rad parties like top three raidest in france's history looking at all the food and fireworks and fountains and all the bling king louis xiv found it suspicious where is the money coming from he was also very much jealous of such splendor when his own castle was mostly empty so louis xiv had phuket arrested imprisoned then investigated and found guilty totally common thing that goes all the way back to probably before the roman empire but i know it happened in the roman empire if you needed money you found a convenient excuse to get really rich people in trouble for something and then you confiscated all their wealth it was a very common tactic uh henry viii did the same thing with the disillusion of the monasteries the the catholic church had a lot of wealth and when he conveniently broke from the catholic church over his desire for a divorce he gobbled up all those monasteries and made a lot of money for the treasury in that order arrested by dartanian the guy who inspired alexander dumas fourth musketeer and then he ordered a castle of versailles to be made even more beautiful and valevikant first law of the 48 laws of power american doctors were secretly sterilizing women in the 70s in america really there was a gang war called the great nordic biker war where hundreds of american bikers stole armaments from several scandinavian military bases and terrorized the streets while killing each other i think they stole the weapons originally to sell back in the states but a bandit has used an anti-tank rocket to destroy your hell's angels clubhouse in sweden crazy when the barbarians sacked carthage they burned and pillaged pretty much everything but at the sanctuary where saint augustine was staying he was on his death bed and the barbarians respected him so much for his influence even though they hated the church that they decided to leave him alone king tut's parents were ancestors they that's a totally common thing uh especially in egypt uh the the ptolemaic dynasty which were greek uh of which cleopatra was a part that was kind of the thing they did if you look at her family tree it's a family poll it's like the same family members marrying each other generation after generation to a brother and sister if your grandparents are over the age of 80 they will have lived one stroke three of us if you are 30 you will have lived one stroke eight of us history you have been visited by the romantic dog the romantic doggo okay well that was uh that was interesting i've never done anything like that before if you have a particular video that's similar to something like that you'd like me to check out let me know um you probably have to email me the link because uh because of all the spam like stuff that has been happening on youtube youtube now filters out anything that's got a link posted in it so um just send it to me through email if you've got something you want me to check out hit that like button if you would we'll see you again soon thanks for watching
