In this history documentary we explore another one of the forgotten wars when the Roman army marched beyond the frontiers to explore parts unknown. However in order to contextualize this expedition we spend time exploring the ancient History of Egypt and the History of Nubia. We begin by looking at the geographic features of the Nile which influenced the development of the civilizations along its banks. Next we look at the intertwined development of both Egyptian and Nubian kingdoms over the eras. This covers the overlap of the Old Kingdom of Egypt, the Middle Kingdom of Egypt, and the New Kingdom of Egypt with the Kingdom of Kerma, the Kingdom of Napata, and the Kingdom of Meroe.
Finally we discuss how the Roman Empire became involved in Egypt and African history. This began with Pompey and Caesar during their civil war. When Rome then chose to support the Ptolemaic rule of Cleopatra they then further became invovled. The queen would support Mark Antony in his civil war against Octavian but the eastern forces would ultimately lose at the Battle of Actium. Following this event, Octavian, now turned Augustus, would annex Egypt. Over the following decades, the emperor would embark on fresh conquests to win gold and glory. One was the Roman Invasion of Arabia and the other was the Roman invasion of Ethiopia. We covered the former in a previous video and spend the remainder of our time seeing how the conflict into Nubia would unfold.
This involves a fascinating series of campaigns fought between Kandake Amanirenas and Gaius Petronius with armies of 30,000 and 10,000 respectively. Its a fascinating look into the African history that rarely gets covered.

Narmer, or Menes, the first pharaoh to unite the upper and lower Kemet (Egypt), was from Southern Africa. Therefore, the FIRST writing was African. The hieroglyphics were African, both the Kemetic and Meroetic. The fact that the Ancient Egyptians were African was common knowledge in antiquity, and documented by Herodotus, the Greek father of history.

As they became Christians they actually finished the destruction of ancient Egyptian religion. By that time the Nubian, Kush, Sudan area were called Ethiopians ( from the greek word to refer to people with burnt face). After that victory the Askumite king took the name King of the Ethiopians that he had conquered and from there we now have the Aksumites called Ethiopians. History

8:25 - I like how the Nubian king flexes on the Persians by challenging them to pull a heavy-draw weight bow. Pulling heavy draw-weight bows was seen as an important display of military prowess across the world. For example, the Song Dynasty required first class infantry archers to pull 160 lb bows and first class cavalry archers to pull 120 lb bows. The Tang Dynasty required 168 lbs for first class infantry archers and 90-100 lbs for cavalry archers. Ottoman Turk warbows are believed to range from 60 to 180 lbs (with extreme outliers in the 200s), with ranges of 90 to 160 lbs being more typical. Qing Dynasty bows were typically 80-180 lbs, had imperial strength bows (for training and exams) that maxed out at 240 lbs, and outliers of elite champions shooting bows in the 200s lb range (one elite champion was recorded to have used a 240 lb bow in an archery competition). The heavier Mongol bows were supposed to be around 160 lbs in draw weight. The Liangulu tribes of Africa use powerful bows of over 100+ lb in draw-weight to hunt elephants. Japanese samurai shot warbows of ~80s-160s lbs. English archers of the 15th-16th century were shooting bows of 80-180 lbs (with 100-140 lb being typical) - and very strong/outlier examples of modern English warbow archers such as Mark Stretton and Joe Gibbs are able to shoot bows of up to ~200-210 lbs.

the thing to point out is that the test you mentioned were merely feats of strength, in the sense that the archers were supposed to be able to pull the bow, once. It does not automatically mean that they would be able to repeatedly shoot and aim with that same draw weight

@Intranetusa 2 жыл бұрын

@@neutralfellow9736 A Qing Dynasty record states an elite champion archer won an archery competition with a 240 lb bow. So at least one person was recorded to be able to shoot 200s lb bows repeatedly to win a competition. Joe Gibbs and Mark Stretton are able to shoot their 200s lb bows multiple times as well...maybe not for hours on end with a hundred shots, but at least for one or two dozen shots. The same is probably for those outlier Turkic bows in the 200s lb range. The Tang and Song dynasty exams that required 160-168 lb draw weight bows for foot archers were not tests of strength, because those were actually archery examinations that required hitting multiple targets and accumulating points to classify archers into different tiers.

The history of Nubia is certainly a fascinating topic that could use some popularization. One of the precursors of serious research in this area, Prof. Kazimierz Michałowski (1901-1981), coined the term "Nubiology", suggesting that it is so rich subject, that it deserves to be treated as its own discipline, as Egyptology is.

@isaiahrowe8367 2 жыл бұрын

Nubia is a fascinating civilisation. They grew alongside ancient Egypt and much of Egypt’s history and culture originates from the Nubia and its ancient cultures. Also the many dynasty’s of Kush, Medjay the elite force and the conquest of Egypt by king Piye and formation of the 25th dynasty. Much of ancient Egypt has strong ties to Nubia and various Pharaohs and important members of society had their origins there!

And it brings tears to my eyes, because while they may not have been conquered by the Romans -they do not get to tell their version of history because they were not writing at that time.

I love seeing videos like this. All too often channels about ancient history are really only ancient Eurasian history with more of an emphasis on Europe. There's a lot of world out there with a lot of history, so it's always good to see less talked about regions get some spotlight. Thanks again and please do continue!

@jeffbenton6183 2 жыл бұрын

The format is especially helpful. Part of the reason for the focus on Europe is that it is what many history viewers (at least in Europe and the Americas) already know. Tying together a part of European history with the subject matter is a nice way of transitioning "from the better known to the lesser known."

And the war between the 25th Dynasty and the Neo-Assyrian Empire, the Kushite Pharaoh Taharqa is also mentioned in the Bible because he made an alliance with the Kingdom of Judah during the reign of King Hezekiah, and waged war against the Neo-Assyrian King Sennacherib at the Battle of Eltekeh. 2 Kings Chapter 19 Verse 9 and Isaiah Chapter 37 Verse 9.
