    The original population of Georgia, the Colchis (ergisis) were black Africans, hence the black curly hair and black curly hair hats to mimic African hairstyles. ❤

    Julius Ceaser saw Vikings in boats sail past the Roman galleons in port in Alexandria, Egypt. He wrote about it. And he ordered his ships to pursue. Roman ships could make about 3 knots. The Viking boats made about 11 knots. Much faster. He even described the men as having long hair and beards. Blonde and red in color. At 11 knots the Vikings on a direct line out of the Mediterranean Sea could have, possibly made North America in 2 weeks. Plus many islands, currents, winds etc would have been of great help. The Vikings knew the Earth and had a form of latitude and longitude. They knew their position and where they were and, where they were going.

    Looking forward to this one when I get home. Thanks for consistent uploads bro! On a side note: if you would find this topic at all interesting to make a video on; I'd love to see the evolution of swords in the Caucuses region pre and post middle ages. Weapon analysis tends to be dry and technical, but the human stories you weave into the historical happenings might service this type of analysis well. In my reading I've come across so many different types of swords from the historic Armenian-Highlands region. I have to imagine this is because so many cultures conducted war in these territories from Romans, Persians, Seljuks, Georgians, Byzantines, to Russians and Ottomans. The swords start off looking like super curved Yatagans of Kurdish horse-riders, then like a straight edge Georgian Shashkas, followed by the Persian/Seljuk Kilij. There's also a whole host of swords that look like hybrids of all the aforementioned during the Byzantine wars blending the hilts, pommels, guards and blades. Around the time of the Cilician kingdom they all tend to look closer to the Kilij, but it would be a cool video cataloguing the changes based on encounters with various rival nations up until that point.

    Side note if I may: the Goverment of Wales recently commissioned a cover up of a mural on the wall of a South Wales Church depicting the meteor of the 500s, and the images of Madoc readying to leave Britain for America, it was re-discovered after the Normans had covered the wall with brick, sat ignored for 50 odd years, and now has been painted over. Disgusting treatment of such important history! The contents were of a red oily hue with Men carrying small boats onto a larger Galleon and a shooting star (Meteor) in the background. Funny thing is it’s depicting a time period when Galleons apparently didn’t exist. The name Galleon is also curious, The “Gal” is ever present with the Britons. Even today the latins know Wales as the “Land of the Gauls”. And the Gal appears everywhere they have been. The Welsh have the same legends as the Irish, where they claim to be originally from the Middle East and the Gal appears throughout Western and Southern Europe and the Middle East.

    The fact of persianization is overstated by illiterate persian nationalist sources as their history curriculum in their schools doesn't contain world history so that they develop this delusion that they are the only people that exist on the planet. Acculturation of the invaders is a fact of history starting from Akkadians. Most invaders who come from less populous lands have to take on the character of the invaded to rule them better as they don't have the numbers to fill in the ranks of local beaurocracy. This happened until the industrial revolution everywhere, including in China, India, Rome, Greece, and with Normans, Himyarites, Gauls, Norse etc. Even the British were starting to dress like Indians and assimilate until industrialization and ideas of scientific race in mid 19th century made it both easy to rule from afar and amalgamation obsolete and idea of supremacy of cultures commonplace.

    @@StoicHistorian there is but a downside to such strategists. As they can't create opportunities. They have to wait for the other to make a mistake. While generals like Napoleon, Alexander, Timur and Hannibal don't have to wait for such opportunities to appear. They force their opponents to show them one. Napoleon used to weaken his flanks to invite his enemies or abruptly vacate high positions. Hanniba used to weaken his own center so as to envelop his enemies with his Numidian cavalry. While Timur or Robert Guiscard was just crafty as a fox using whatever works. Such generals are ultimately the best. Not Tokugawa or ShahRukh

    Admiral Nelson lost an arm while trying to conquer the Canary Islands. In 1797 the British tried to take over Tenerife. They wanted to subject all the Canary Islands under the British crown. A bullet fired by the "Tigre" cannon manufactured in Seville left him without his right arm. Lieutenant General Gutiérrez, defender of the islands, had 1,700 men under his command. Nelson had 4,000 men. To justify his defeat, Nelson argued that he had faced 8,000 men. There were 1,700 but they were worth like 8,000.

    Edward the confessor never had any children and was even by some accounts celibate in spite of having a wife for political reasons (which is part of the reason why William the conqueror claimed the throne of England after Edward the confessor’s death to begin with, among other reasons, because Edward had to children to succeed him). Edward Ætheling was Edward the confessor’s nephew, and the son of Edmund Ironside, who was the half brother of Edward the confessor and was king before him (Anglo-Saxon kingship was dynastic elective, generally speaking). So yeah, Edward Ætheling was Edward the confessor’s nephew, not his son, and Edward the confessor himself never actually had any children.
