In my opinion Dan Carlin is this generation’s best story teller, dare I say, in the world. It’s not just the content but how it’s presented on his platform. I will forever be a huge fan of his work and future work. Thank you for the blood sweat and tears you put into all of these.

Really enjoyed the part on the Islamic Conquests. As someone who did the Late Antiquity Near East for my dissertation I noticed the same thing Dan Jones said that western and Islamic scholarship have little cross over especially in that period and the ensuing Medieval Period. One of my favourite historians, even though little of his work is in English is Ibn Khaldun's Muqqadima, which is available in English thankfully. Overall another great podcast

I might have gone and bought all of this beautiful man’s books. Excellent writing

I wish more people would actually learn about the history of our world and not stop time in whatever year they choose so they can point their fingers and shake their heads. Thank you for clarity, knowledge, and a basic understanding of who/where we come from!

This has been a fine month to be a HH fan. Thank you, Dan, for all the hard work you continue to do.

I think we can acknowledge historical context AND modern context when discussing the "great men" of history. Someone could easily be acknowledged as progressive for their time while still being CLEARLY racist, for example. American populists who supported the "working man" (who was most definitely defined as a white man specifically) are a recent example relevant to today's discussion of race relations, the legal basis of CRT, etc. So while they might have indeed added to the historical arc toward liberty, they still reserved their own ideas of progress for their own kind. I think we should just recognize that heroes are temporary, personality cults are garbage, and anyone who gargles their balls might have prejudices of their own that they may or may not be acknowledging. My favorite podcasters Dan Carlin and Mike Duncan both manage to present events with enough disclaimers about the individuals involved to give the kind of cold reading of history that everyone needs without taking away from the excitement of the events themselves.

Man, I wish Dan let Dan continue praising Dan at the end. It's probably the one chance he had to publicly let people know how much good he felt he gave to the world with his podcasts. That was a missed opportunity, imo. Hopefully he got to hear it in person at least.

"Now the man was such as, to put it briefly, had never before been seen in the land of the Romans, be he either of the barbarians or of the Greeks (for he was a marvel for the eyes to behold, and his reputation was terrifying). Let me describe the barbarian's appearance more particularly - he was so tall in stature that he overtopped the tallest by nearly one cubit, narrow in the waist and loins, with broad shoulders and a deep chest and powerful arms. And in the whole build of the body he was neither too slender nor overweighted with flesh, but perfectly proportioned and, one might say, built in conformity with the canon of Polycleitus... His skin all over his body was very white, and in his face the white was tempered with red. His hair was yellowish, but did not hang down to his waist like that of the other barbarians; for the man was not inordinately vain of his hair, but had it cut short to the ears. Whether his beard was reddish, or any other colour I cannot say, for the razor had passed over it very closely and left a surface smoother than chalk... His blue eyes indicated both a high spirit and dignity; and his nose and nostrils breathed in the air freely; his chest corresponded to his nostrils and by his nostrils...the breadth of his chest. For by his nostrils nature had given free passage for the high spirit which bubbled up from his heart. A certain charm hung about this man but was partly marred by a general air of the horrible... He was so made in mind and body that both courage and passion reared their crests within him and both inclined to war. His wit was manifold and crafty and able to find a way of escape in every emergency. In conversation he was well informed, and the answers he gave were quite irrefutable. This man who was of such a size and such a character was inferior to the Emperor alone in fortune and eloquence and in other gifts of nature." "The Alexiad" Now THAT´S a description of a knight straight out of a fairy tale! The stuff that legends are made of. The fact that we have this AMAZING description plus his biography just brings Bohemond to life in a way that few people of his times do. Also, let´s keep in mind that Anna was about 16 when she saw him, soooo... you know, just sayin´ XD.

It is not inconceivable that the Frank's traded east to Asia. More likely took slaves and I'm sure the Mongols and Persians did too, the Arabs had whole categories of slaves. I think it was probably traders who traded slaves who came into contact with both groups. The proto Thais may not have dealed directly with the Frank's but their traders could most certainly speak a bit of both languages for this word to travel so far. Thank you, very interesting.

Dan Carlin is a gift from the cosmos

*I feel we, viewers, are selfish when it comes to Dan Carlin and the content he make because we are always fiending for more from him, no matter what the topic or show is about... Sometimes, we the fans of someone we love, can be very selfish... especially when it comes too expecting them to always be pumping out content for us to consume, I like to say that we live in a "Microwave Era" where our attention spans are a lot shorter than they were in the past, we get content and consume it so fast that we really do not even savor it...we swallow it whole and ask for more right away, even though the Chef who cooked it worked for days on the meal... I always pray that we can get more of Dan Carlin and his Hardcore History episodes, along with other podcast where he is a guest on, especially Lex Fridman's podcast... the Lex and Dan episode on Lex's podcast was an amazing episode that left me slobbering for more even though I savoured & chewed on it for a long time... I know Dan is probably extremely busy living his best life but I'm definitely saying some prayers for Dan to drop some new episodes or podcast... I will admit that sometimes I end up just looking at someones channel on KZread and not actually knowing if they have other content elsewhere... Does anyone know if this is the case with Dan's content? Is there a podcast or other show I am missing on his website or elsewhere? Would love to absolutely demolish & consume more content from Dan.*

This was fantastic, i would love the hear an episode like this with you and historian Arthur Herman!

i have a copy of barbara tuchman's "A Distant Mirror" and its everything that the two dans say it was. what i really loved was the economic upheavals and how it challenged the old nobility.

You wondered why the Vikings/ Normans were so bad ass. They were initially fish eaters in part and they were at least 6" taller than the rest, either due to diet or genetics. Long ago at a NY museum I picked up an original Viking sword and surprised that it was 10-12 pounds. I'm 6'2 and 200 pounds and would have difficulty swinging a 10 pound sledge with gusto... As you well know the Vikings went east into Russia before they went west and founded Novogod and became the original Rus when breeding with Slavs. They also believed in Valhalla and got to sit at the big table if you died in battle.

The fact that Dan gets so many views gives me hope in this questionable world.

Dan (Carlin) asked an interesting question about why medieval imagery depicted classical and biblical scenes in contemporary dress and settings and I felt Dan (Jones) answer that it was allegorical was unsatisfactory, he missed a good chance to explain the medieval mindset formed by their worldview and pre Copernican cosmology. The medieval world was an extremely static one, their view of time was Aristotelian (the official church view) the earth literally did not move and was just a stage to play out gods divine plan, before banking and finance there was little social mobility or chance for betterment- If you were the son of a ploughman that is what you would be like your father and his father before him, and before printing and indeed mass literacy knowledge was jealously guarded and interpreted by the church. The idea of progress is an enlightenment or at most Renaissance concept so they literally believed that the world had changed little since classical times and would change little till the day of judgement,for them the biblical stories were literally true and may as well have been yesterday and so were very real. Yes they were creatures just like us with the same needs and desires but some of their motivations may seem incomprehensible because of their world view, he acknowledges that Churchill was "old fashioned" so how much more were the people of the middle ages?

Yes, interesting point. I doubt concepts of technology and archaeology existed in the 14thC. The past, for most people, would have been like a dark moonless night. You could hear the voices, but see almost nothing. It would not, at that time, have made any sense to paint ancient personages wearing unfamiliar garb. And any visual representation of ancient fashion (were the artist or patron even able to conceive of such an idea) other than of togas would have been arbitrary.
