    Guess what Ujjain still exists, exactly where the Romans used to trade. It's one of the oldest continually inhabited cities on Earth. It's a thriving city of millions of people now. Fascinating isn't it !!! A city which traded with people who were roaming Rome when Pliny was giving his speeches there.

    @@bhaveshsharma8422 Of course there are. Varanasi is one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world. If we consider that way, there would be hundreds of such cities in India which are still continuing from that period, from Tamralipta in Bengal to Poovar in Tamil Nadu just to name a couple. Why I specifically mentioned Ujjain is because that's the only such city mentioned in the video. The cities you have cited are not a part of this video. Thus mentioning Ujjain Non Indians could relate to it, and understand what a treasure trove of historical continuity India is. No other city across the world that's mentioned in the video exists now. They may have been reestablished with a different name later in history, but not continually inhabited, apart from Ujjain.

There's nothing about any hindu kings. When I learnt that the Marathas had defeated the Mughals and used to control almost all their lands at one point I was shocked, because the way I learnt it, the Mughals were the strongest indian dynasty and they were only defeated by the British because we were not United.😶

    @@therealestg9 Mars was an important deity in Rome since in the founding myth he is the father of Romulus and Remus, but he wasn't "the guiding deity". Yes they had a "field of Mars" outside the city. The field of Mars was mainly important for Military triumph, the ritual blessing of weapons and the celebration of a new year in March since Mars also was a god of agriculture. There is evidence that Roman soldiers wore red but also not exclusively. There were many other gods that were of great importance for the Romans. The Capitoline Triad for example included Jupiter, Juno and Minerva. Roman Senators and Consuls wore purple stripes and the emperors even entirely purple, it was the color associated with Jupiter. Vesta was also of great importance to the Romans since she was the guardian of Rome and their families and the flame in her temple was never allowed to go out. Another goddess Romans placed great importance on was Venus was also connected to the Roman founding Myth through Aeneas and found renewed importance when Ceasar claimed to stem from her bloodline. There are too many cults and feasts in Rome for gods to list them all. But to say that Mars was THE guiding god is to simplistic. That Rome had the Campus Martianus and Roman soldiers wore red (to some extent) is not enough to conclude that.

It talks about Ancient India and its many Kingdoms who fought with each other over a 18 day Mega War. It is a tale of Bravery, Tragedy, Sacrifice, Deceit, Revenge, Honor and Inspiration. Now why am I telling you this ? Because it speaks about Kambhoja (Ancient Persians who were ancestors of Parthians) and their Kings who fought in the Mahabharata War.

    Wow man, it is your niche to make videos about specific and narrow topic in history that you make them so professional and colorful! If I were a history teacher in middle or high school, I would show your videos in my classes, of course with your permission and copyright :D Keep it up! I enjoyed this video and awed on illustrations, music (especially whispering in spy moment), and most important abundance of information that I longed to know when I was at history classes (because they told us what they traded, but never showed how it looked like) thank you man 😭

    LOL, I understand your point of view. When I was younger I was skipping over the not so exciting parts. Nowadays its rather the reverse. I realized that economics, populations dynamics, social structure like administration and religion are overall more decisive than your good old battle. As one of my favorite history blogs (the history of Rome) likes to say. Rome built an Empire "by not loosing wars." In other words, by being able to win a war even after loosing battles. Others countries lost one battle and were gone from history forever. That's the power of social institutions.

    @@Mt7hr_1229 Afghans are not of Scythian heritage. Some Afghan Pashtun nationalists started this myth over ten years back but according to archeologists, Iranic peoples appeared in the area around the 11th and 12th century BC. Pashtuns are also classified as Southeastern Iranic in contrast to Scythians who were Northeastern iranic. Turkic speaking Asians pushed the Iranic nomadic pastoralists southwards towards the Iranian plateau, and some became sedentary (such as the Medes and the Persians) but others kept dwelling in the steppes such as the Scythians. In other words, nomadic Iranic peoples of Central Asia were Scythians. In the steppes of central Asia, there was an eternal battle between Turks and Scythians, as it was beautifully told by the poet Ferdosi in Iran's national stories of the Shahnamé.
