Props to the camera man that has gone back in time to take footage for us.

watching a documentary like this reminds me of my days being in school learning about history and our teacher would let us watch things like this on a tv with wheels
-
This documentary is like a soft warm blanket.

Imagine the terror of being a peasant when the king followed by knights and servants clanking coconuts together comes apon your village.
-
I hate to say it, but itās coming full circle and many of us will end up being put back into this situation

In other words most people though most of human history had terribly difficult life's and tho things are difficult we ought to take stock of how bloody grateful we all should be as the luckiest people who have ever lived.

I've been telling people for years, we have moved back into feudalism. Taxed to death and all we get is military protection. Actually, all we get is to BE military protection for the rich.

The Professor explained those times so clearly and concisely. I've added so much to my History hoard - I aim to know everything about it before I pop my clogs. Thank you so much. ā¤

I see a similar economy returning. Only this time the ruling class will be computers and A.I. as most of us lose our livelihoods to automation. Glad I'm almost 60 and I won't have to endure this horrible world that much longer. I feel sorry for you if you're young. The 50s through the 90s were so great. So glad I got to see much of it. Anyone young now, with rare exceptions, will be cursed with living in an ever worsening fucking nightmare dystopia.

Small correction, Latin wasn't the universal language of religion all over Europe. Greek and Church Slavonic were the lingua franca in Eastern Europe. Considering that the East Roman Empire (called Byzentene by historians) was the most powerful kingdom in Europe through most of the dark and middle ages I think it's quite important to remember that.
