We hear of great people in history all the time. The Caesars, the Elizabeths, the Napoleons, and the Genghis Khans. They may have been enlighten rulers or vile despots; great builders or the destroyers of civilization - but they all shared one thing. They were human, and as such they had hopes, dreams, aspirations, inner demons, and insecurities - like everyone else. These traits affected the course of humanity for better and for worse. Together, they have made us the global society we are today. Flash Point History is dedicated to making history accessible because when we look into the past we discover ourselves.

YOUR SERIES OF 4 VASCO DA GAMA EXPLORATION VIDEOS SHOULD BE SHOWN IN ALL SCHOOLS. THEY ARE AN EXCELLENT WAY TO TEACH MODERN CHILDREN ABOUT. HISTORY. 👏👍👳
I agree :)
somebody likes Hardcore History.
I know this is a two year old video, but I have to mention that there are a lot of people named Attila and its derivatives (Atilla is the common spelling where I am from) out there, just not in Europe 😝😜
8:01 Not sure I would use that particular wording. We can’t know all the details of what went on in the purple room.
How strong was Asturias's army?
History is written by the victor - so the army was small and took on overwhelming odds
I've been waiting for this since the history of Rome podcast ended.
really bad and unnecessarily dramatic reading. needs a calmer reading voice. except for the reading voice it;s a good report.
This seems kinda shitty. You're just taking someone else's podcast (the History of Byzantium) and uploading it with some random visuals thrown in
This is a collaboration with Robin’s consent and he’s in on the revenue share.
Makes me feel like i am playing a RTS game
Nice. I’ve always been a fan of RTS games
Great music for this type of video documentary 👌
Rome the mist evil empire in our history
They created a wasteland and called it peace
Hidden history because they knew the evil of rome upon the world and rome still rules til this day
I wonder if this would be considered the "Madness Of Pelagius".
I loved watching this it was brilliant 👏
extremely informative. thank you flash
Well , it seems you would remember the US empire the same way and Biden (Joeidotian) as the last great emperor... if wasn't for COVID-19 the empire could have lasted for a 1000 years.
Please do more of these on the crusades 🙏 ive watch your videos on 1-4 about 6 times now
Waiting this again, i notice that Ibn Tashfin place the Taifa army on the front of his, and between his and there was a ditch between them, why he seems using the Taifa Army as fodder. Alphonso also do something similar by placing Aragonese in the front but there's no ditch between them, by looking how the muslim didn't attack first can we asumsi that the Christian has stronger army? About Almoravid, you said there's no separation between state and church, i think Islam doesn't have that concept, Christians also only have that concept after the following centuries
After many months I finally finished watching your very admirable work. I was a little surprised to hear your commentary at the end criticizing Justinian. While I see your point when you contrast him with Hadrian, I also think that his conquests in the West, even the short-lived ones, helped the population that appreciated the remnants of Roman civilization as against Arian barbarian rule. In the end this population ended up either converting and transforming this barbarian element or else falling to a new, Islamic conqueror. As someone much interested in Church history, I was pleased to learn something from your video. I had always thought that Theodora had manipulated the Second Council of Constantinople, and now I learn she had died several years before. One correction: when you explain about the terms Catholic and Monophysite at the end of the 3rd hour, you say that the Monophysites had not yet been declared heretical; yet they were, at the Council of Chalcedon in 451. I guess I admire Justinian in that I believe his manipulations of doctrine stayed within the bounds of orthodoxy, as opposed to emperors like Heraclius and Leo the Isaurian, who introduced heresy under the attempt to unify their empires, but who caused far more disunity and damage in doing so. I am very curious as to the religious changes he wanted to introduce at the end of his life. Would I find out about them by reading Procopius? If anyone could help me in this regard, I would appreciate it.
For Christianity! For the Kings! Santiago!
It’s not Byzantium. It is Eastern Roman Empire.
Man Peter was dumb to repeatedly show mercy to the rebellious Henry. Paid with his life for that mercy.
What happened to Rome is what is happening now.! Substitute the Hun for the Han and the Vandals for the Russ. This video needs to be required education for at the very least freshman congress members (the long time members have mostly been co-opted) and better as general education.
I know its cliche to say - but it still holds true, those who forget the past are doomed to repeat their mistakes
If you consider sl@very and being second-class citizens in your own country, sure, they were "tolerant."
Sanhajah was from sub saharan africa then pushed north ? Not the opposite? They're north african Berber then pushed south and mixed with the Sub-Saharan african? If they were from Sub-Saharan how come they spoke berber language
They were initially in the North and pushed to the south where they developed into a cohesive group. Then they returned
請澳門人多看看。
For the Roman Empress!
With you... The greatest war in history!
Thanks
@@FlashPointHx Thanks to you for doing it.
Great video! How fascinating!
ആർക്കറിയാം ഇതൊക്കെ ഉള്ളതാണോ എന്ന് 😂..... പറങ്ങി തെണ്ടികൾ തള്ളി മറിക്കുന്ന മറ്റൊരു കഥാപ്രസംഗം ആയിക്കൂടെ
So, Vasco da Gama was somewhat of a serial killer.
Most of these explorers were - wait till we get to the Spanish
Love this
850 years later and im, as a european, still embarrassed about this colossal failure
Epic!
Sounds about like a real zombie apocalypse. Covered up with a nice unknown sickness blowing in the wind. It's oddly similar to modern times
But of course, this is not totally correctly titled. It's only the 'history' of Justinian's time. The Empire had a much longer history and the coming centuries would be a mixed bag of disasters and triumphs.
What does BCE mean and what it is it based off of?
Before the Common Era - its a secular way of saying 'Before Christ'
I know but why? Even if you don’t believe Christ ever existed it’s still the measuring point. Otherwise, what separates BCE from AD? What are you basing your dating on then? It seems like trying to have your cake and eat it too
@@aunch3 it is totally fine and non controversial to use. there is no contradiction.
@Samuel Sure, I suppose we can all tell ourselves anything and say it’s ok, but that doesn’t make it logical. You still haven’t answered my question which is; If you’re not basing your timeline on Christ, what are you basing it on? That’s all I’m asking
@@aunch3 you aren't as smart as you think
25:23 30:35 45:18 47:41 Just ignore me I’m doing research
You must be doing some interesting research =)
Calling Holy Charlemagne an autocrat...with a sneer in your voice? Sad.
If Isabella would have married either Edward IV or Richard III, maybe Henry Tudor dies at the Battle of Bosworth Field. Maybe with Spanish assistance. Think about a timeline where the Tudor line of kings never happen. The Anglican Church never splits with the Catholic Church. The Spanish Armada never attacks in 1588. Now, that's something
