Hello, when are they from>?
This man is a treasure
Hieroglyphic lemme be specific...
No offense to the baker - but watch him mix the dough with his RIDICULOUS hair drooping over his face and no doubt - finding stray hairs INTO THE DOUGH - was just gross. Why doesn't this guy wear a hair net, or a baker's cap. It's stupid and totally disgusting to watch. I will never eat anything prepared by Giorgio Locatelli. Ugh. Hair everywhere.
Safavids were iran 🇮🇷🇮🇷
I could barely understand her or hear her
Diaper head
She left out something about the JUBILEE. The King erased all debts from commoners to start a new reign or something similar. It's written on the stone.
BRITISH MUSEUM COLLABING WITH CRIMINALS IN ADOR, MIN HEE JIN AND NEW JEANS. This is desperation.😅
Dope
In 1977, I went into the British Museum. I’m talking to a friend leaning against a boulder near the entrance. I then walk around the rock, and I’ve been leaning against The Rosetta Stone!
only one of these was meant to be seen by someone, anyone else. they and the drawings, doodles, of the other "great masters" survive because of who they were, and how they were regarded by their contemporaries. one has to wonder if Michelangelo had gone through his voluminous papers at the end of his life, if he would have allowed them to come down to us. self doubt can be brutal.
To me, the Rosetta Stone seems to be an ancient "Nod, and wink" sort of Nobel prize pushing a narrative about how great someone was. Got it. I think Egypt's true origins have been hidden, artifacts have been reclaimed under the discoverer's leadership, and the original civilization's true purpose and nature was erased long ago. Adopted, reimagined and reinvented to suit the wealthiest families at the time it's not a far stretch to believe that the largest of the pyramids, and the grandest of structures were claimed already in ruin and used as symbols of self-proclaimed divinity upon a poor, and limited working-class society. This is just my opinion, feel free to believe what you wish. I just see the potential and also the means for what I view as compelling evidence indicating a takeover, manipulation, and self-benefitting restructure of a far more ancient civilization.
The British museum asking for donations is hysterical
She thinks MA Catholicism would impede a homosexual relationship? Has she been living under a rock? Catholic priests and young boys are a story as old as bread and butter.

Here in Arizona we respect Mike Angelo a whole bunch more than you do, by god. And anybody who calls him a gay guy just don't hunt to me. And his meditational drawings, besides, remind me of that thing that that Loyola flyer wrote about, the, uh, meditations, I guess. And you ain't gonna tell me Nacho Loyola was gay! (Very nicely presented. I've subscribed.)
if we have more complete rosetta stones why the hell aren't we shown them?
No one can express the depths of historical stories better than Professor Mary Beard. Like many of the viewers commenting here, her knowledge and enthusiasm are much admired. Thank you for this ✨️ heart-felt insight into the "Nero" exhibit.
When I visited Beijing in 2011, I had a seal carved by an artisan who was set up at the jade marketplace. I didn't realize it was a recently revived artform! It was interesting to watch him work. I'm a jade carver, but all the seal materials available were much softer than jade. We watched the artisan working for about half an hour to produce my seal. It would have taken much longer, and much harder tools, if it had been made from jade!
27:50 "Making love" is not the phrase i would have chosen....
11:59 - 12:15 "alright love, stay on track we have a script...."
Great commentary with the right kind of enthusiasm for 'forgotten' people.
Are the drawings on display his actual drawings or copies ?
All the drawings on display in the exhbition are by Michelangelo and original works. What's amazing is that some of them have drawings on both sides of the paper. So you get the feeling he just reached for a scrap of paper to draw on when he tried out an idea for a figure or composition.

Ignorance has many faces. The Parthians returned the Standard because in our (Parthian / Iranian) culture we know how embarrassing it is for a nation and its military when Standards are lost to the enemy. So, after signing the peace treaty with Rome the Iranian (Parthian) King ,ordered the return of the Roman Standard as a goodwill gesture since the Romans had been humiliated and punished enough. Romans tried for a few decades and could not retrieve their Standard by force (military) or political means. Iranians had taken about 10,000 Roman prisoners and put them to work to build roads.... and the high ranking Romans were given homes (under house arrest) and when they said to the captors that they missed their families, Iranians allowed these high ranking officers to invite their families to live with them inside the Iranian empire. The warfare was different those days and Iranians would always wanted to show that they are not only militarily stronger than Rome but also morally superior. During the almost 800 years of when Rome and later Byzantium (Eastern Roman empire) tried they could never decisively defeat the Persian (Iranian) empire. These wars cost a lot of money for both Rome and Iran and weakened their economies and people were really tired of wars and expense. Unfortunately, this weakened state was one of the reasons why when Moslem hordes attacked Iran (after two hundred years fighting) they first defeated Iran and later the Eastern Roman Empire too. I agree with you. Unfortunately the Greek's ethnocentric ignorance has polluted their own understanding as well as passing on this cultural Greek disease to their Roman cousins (believing their own propaganda), something that still exists today, in fact it is uncritically taught in the Western colleges and Universities. By their actions, Iranians (Achaemenid, Parthians, Sassanid) and management of their societies and dealing with their enemies had shown they far more sophisticated than Greeks and Romans combined ever could. In fact, Iranians regard Alexander as Alexander the Destroyer as all he did was to destroy and burn down the Iranian libraries, places of worship, government institutions and Alexander did not leave a single evidence of building cultures, societies.. and that is why Alexander's Satrapies (he tried to imitate the Iranians) failed. So, when in the West people write in their books Alexander the Great, many Iranians laugh and say Great for what? If killing and destruction is the metric, well Alexander excelled at that, but Chengiz Khan or Huns, Mongols were far more efficient destroyers that Alexander ever could. Iranians consider Alexander just like a criminal Mongol warlord that did nothing of value in terms culture, learning and contributing to the betterment of mankind, Alexander was nothing more than a murdering arsonist. Contrast that with when Cyrus the Great entered Babylon...
Why do they not use Carbon dating first? I am sure the museum has the equipment and the knowhow.
The lady describing the artist's work is unnecessary and her description only adds insincerity and hype. The artist's own words were the only ones needed.
'"The Greeks were big on collateral damage...". Very funny!
Damn, the British stolen everything from us, and now coming to teach us our language, same with India, better for British to be silent because the criminal will remain criminal unless they return what they stolen, shame on you UK
We will get it back soon.
It needs to be said; not all Clocks with loud ticks are necessarily losing power - it depends much on the design.
I want to share this with my students but the person who did the chapter design... well, try playing the “Letters” track - the FIRST thing you hear is a LOUD “TSSS” from “wild beasts.”
I'm here because someone i work with always wears a turban. And its always folded and worn exactly the same everyday. I was curious to see how it was done! Lovely job.
Minute 08:30, growing old Michelangelo started to be upset, because his FAITH was very strong and he felt like betrayed, that God did not let him live longer that the others because so gifted and so eager to achieve so many things. Leonardo da Vinci as well he left so many projects undone like saying ..look Lord, I have so many things to do, you can not let me grow old, get tired and feel weak, no, I have too many things to do 😢😢😢well, it's still the biggest challenge above all, if we can increase the human life expectation, there's so much work to do, if we care to have FAITH and follow our feelings😢😢😢
All to be explored all over again friends. Michelangelo said, artists are God's favorites, he used to paint naked people and say... God see us without veils...still, we live in a world of liars, fake hypocrits masks and ...movie characters, those who care to be honest, naked, having nothing to hide. ..are dangerous people to keep away from the others. They are...retarded Down syndrome suffering ones, they are not...humans. Now that we are watching TV entertainment together by phones connected to the world, well, we could invert the concept. What if God is using artists to send us messages? We have to understand deeper the question, therefore everybody is invited to visit museums and let them fine arts achievements pull out brand new sensations and follow them as...God told you to do so.. well, only watching these drawings it feels like...there must be a God out there to decide what makes us humans or not, still the biggest debate above all
People may well think it's odd to talk to Clocks - but I have names for all mine! LOVE Clocks (only the mechanical kind) can't get enough of them. Always had a fascination for Clocks and Time , and it's just a bonus that we can't live without them! Thanks for sharing!
Can you imagine how an artistic-estetical writing like this as more exeptions than rules after two dozen different dynasties and several thousand years...
Even i liked this video because of this guy i hade to stop. Is there any video of this woman explaining hieroglyphs alone.
This is very interesting. When you say it was drawn up on the 27th of March, 196BC, is that a date translated into our current reckoning of time, i.e. according to our current, Georgian calendar?
To paraphrase a Dos Equus commercial, "His beard has experienced more than other men's bodies in their lifetime. He is, the most interesting man in the world ..."
be great if their were actual artifacts of holy bible ?? lol
😊
What I find interesting is this myth is also found in Hinduism Dakshas head was replaced with a horned animal in front of his peers over shiva's daughter I believe Cernunnos is Daksha and Shiva depends on what form of Celtic mythology Gaulish mythology is Atepomarus. Who would be The Gaulish Shiva the slaying bull and different animals with different horns show the different depictions of the same story. Also shows a image of 2 other deities or figures holding another figures head. It does match that myth.
Andrew is correct!
I guess some servants stole and hid it in the field and got caught and executed or was murdered.
How stupid, without the Ancient Egyptians, what makes you think you understand the hieroglyphs? People should stop wasting their time with western European psychos.
I'd love to hear what Mr. Hancock would think about this artefact, a fascinating piece!
🤍🤍آشور بانيبال 🇮🇶
Some very interesting pieces there!
