Funny thing about the Socratic dynasty - Marcus Aurelius is part of it, being a prominent stoic and all. So ultimately, I got numbers 1 & 2. No one can escape being merely footnotes on Plato! Mwahaha
@MrJethroha 2 жыл бұрын
Technically, since Zero of Citium (founder of Stoicism) was a disciple of the Cynic tradition, Stoicism gets most of its Socratic influence by way of Antisthenes and Diogenes, rather than Plato. Indeed the only major Platonic school in the Hellenistic period, the Skeptics, specifically attacked the Stoics on many occassions. After Skepticism went out of fashion and Middle Platonism arrived on the scene during the Roman period, Stoicism was so dominant in Greece that the Middle Platonists adopted many of their dogmas, so the influence actually goes the opposite way. The reason that Plato and Aristotle became such dominant philosophers in later times is that their philosophy was seen as compatible with monotheism by early Christians and Muslims.

well if you accept that socratic dynasty also responsible for alexander the great then it can be argued that the dynasty also partly responsible for the dynasty number 3's success as well... why? because it was hellenistic oriented jews that guide specific christianity sect into the non jews population. Paul was a hellenistic jew who claimed to have roman citizenship, the gospels were written in greek! had it not be for hellenistic influence on the levant and jewish culture, christianity could've been a strictly minor religion and islam wouldn't have been born. socratic dynasty should've been the number 1 by a quite far margin than the rest.

One could argue that the Socratic dynasty influenced parts of the Bible, leading them also to number 3 (Justin Martyr thought quite the opposite that “Moses” influenced Plato).

The video turned wonky when you stretched the definition of a "Dynasty" at the end. I think there's a difference between continuity by physical & ideological succession. That said, since Zadokite priesthood is hereditary, I can accept that one. The Guptas & Han were severely underrated due to western bias. The Guptas endorsed & spread the Dravidic religions (the 2nd largest religious group in the world). They are what Rome is to Asia in terms of religious influence & culture The Han did not develop in isolation. In fact, their prosperity served as a stimulus for the perpetuation of trade & cultural influence (trade with China & India literally spurred the Silk Road & Age of Exploration). They influenced philosophy (Confucian thought, meritocracy & bureaucracy). Some inventions made during their time were so basic as to be overlooked but were integral to the function of the modern world as it is (paper, paper money, compass, block print, etc).
@oliverkroker527 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah... I mean there were several cultures and kingdoms nearby. Asia is as big as europe and africa combined.... And there were contacts between the hellenistic world and the central asian cultures. Those that are direct neighbours of ancient china. Isolation lokks different to me^^ But that is that :) Matt does awesome videos but I think he should have done this one slightly different. Several important parts of the world several important ancient dynasties were excluded and he changed his reason for including dynasties parts way into the video. Then.... "Most important dynasty of all time"... I thought this video was about the greatest of the ancient times? He should have defined what it means to be a great dynasty right at the beginning... as he did for his other videos. And then he could have had a way easier time to include or exclude cultures, schools of thinking or military dynasties. Otherwise... Why not just make seperate videos about those kind of dynasties?
@Andre_YT538 2 жыл бұрын
@@oliverkroker527 This is how I feel as well. But again, it is really hard to define what is "great" and what is "ancient". Chinese dynasties often span for a few hundred years and more importantly the dynasties are almost exclusively kept within the same family. Since more than one Egyptian and Greek/Roman dynasties are allowed on the list. I can easily name a few other "ancient" Chinese dynasties that are just as "great" if not greater. At least in China, Tang dynasty is probably more highly regarded than Han dynasty as it is a truly open and highly prosperous society. Although Song Dynasty is weak militarily, but culturally and economically, it is probably ahead of the rest of the world for a few hundred years. Anyway, it is good to see things through different lens.
@oliverkroker527 2 жыл бұрын
@@Andre_YT538 That is why I said his definition is unclear. Normally ancient in european/ american context means before the 6th. century after christ. It's a defined timeframe. A great dynasty has to be defined beforehand. The reason why there are those dynasties on the list has nothing to do with asian dynasties bein worth less then those european/ mediteranean but everything with them being nominated instead of others. Therefore I told Matt that he should have done this differently. Either having allowed more dynasties to be nominated or letting each of those historians (?) nominating a list of ten and then doing a lifestream with them to discuss the lists and make a final one.
@Andre_YT538 2 жыл бұрын
@@oliverkroker527 I agree. Even now, Chinese history text book put the Opium War in mid-19 Century as the mark for the end of "Ancient History", which is a very different from an European perspective. And the idea of "Dynasty" is just very very different between different parts of the world. Japanese royal family has always claimed that they are the descendent of Amaterasu Omikami, which means that there is only one dynasty throughout its history. From a length point of view, it would certainly make to the top of the list. I think it might be better if the video does not have a "ranking", which necessarily imply that one is better than another. "10 great dynasties" of ancient world would still be a great video to watch.

Some historians have critisized the somewhat idealized image of the "Adoptive Emperors". All of them (except the elderly Nerva) married into the families of their predecessors and there is quite some evidence that they tried to establish dynasties of their own. It just so happened that they had no sons, so they were forced to adopt one of their generals. It wasn't a meritocratic system but pure genetic accident that produced this line of Emperors. Once one of them (Marcus Aurelius) had a son (Commodus), the concept of adoption was thrown out of the window, because establishing a dynasty was the goal of virtually every roman ruler (except for Nerva, but he was very old and had no children; he was just a transitional ruler.)

@@minnumseerrund Yes, but the point is that this wasn't their intention. They simply had no other choice - it was only plan B. The video (and many historical writings) paint them as enlightened and noble rulers, almost as legendary figures. I think this is a historiographic myth. As far as I know, there is know ecvidence for a meritocratic "system" of succession - they just were comparatively competent rulers without sons at a time when the Roman Empire was relatively stable and faced no major foreign threats. (Except for the latter part of Marcus Aurelius' reign). Don't get me wrong - Marcus Aurelius was an admirable philosopher, Trajan was an outstanding general and ruler, etc. But I think there is no good in blurring our view on them with anachronistic concepts.

3 can be somewhat excused coz they're a familial lineage at least. 2 is weird- going by ideological succession opens the discussion up to other lineages (Apostolic succession, the Caliphate & Imams, Buddhist orders, hell, even Rationalism, Communism, etc.) Plus there's the issue with Confucius who has a still-existing family to the present day that had ties to multiple royal dynasties but also an ideological school following his teachings. For 1, I think they're convinced Rome has to be No. 1 then just chose the best dynasty to represent it which is weird again coz the 5 good emperors were great in terms of prestige & accomplishments but in terms of actual "influence" to the modern day, they'll still lose to the Constantinians & Justinians

UsefulCharts I have a question. In one of your earlier videos entitled which Bible characters are historical you said that the Abraham story was a myth but then how do you explain the archaeological find of the Bubastite Portal which mentions the field of abram? And also what about the others such as the baalam inscription and the Gideon inscription which was actually discovered earlier this year which bears his name. The reason why I posted the comment on this video and not that one was because I wanted a quicker response
@UsefulCharts 2 жыл бұрын
Well, first of all, please understand that "myth and legend" often contains distant memories of actual people and events, just highly embellished with details changed. So there very well may have been people named Gideon, Abraham or Balaam upon which the biblical stories were based - it's just that the biblical accounts of their lives are mostly fictional. As for the finds you mention: - The Gideon inscription includes the very common name Jerubbaal (meaning Baal is great), not Gideon, so the chances that it refers to the biblical Gideon is fairly low. - The Balaam inscription dates to c. 800 BCE (600 years after the supposed lifetime of Balaam) and therefore only demonstrates that he was a literary figure by that time. - Likewise, the Bubastite Portal dates from c. 925 BCE (1000+ years after the supposed lifetime of Abraham) so that's like using a modern pup called the "King Arthur" as evidence that King Arthur was real.

You could mention ancient dynasties that ruled the Ghana empire which reigned over niger and senegal or you can mention modern ones like the mohamed ali dynasty that ruled egypt, sudan and South sudan those weren't mentioned before I think (correct me if I am wrong).

Frankly their ability to establish groundwork for stable successors is basically unmatched.
