Great to see a youtuber with a sponsor that doesn't seem to be a ripoff or scam.

It was videos just like this that had me unsubscribe from be amazed

I think these videos are wrong just to get views for being so wrong.

I got the feeling they were saying 15th century not because of the 1500s; but because of the 1400s. This one, and the circles they play in are always saying things like the 1400s Renaissance era was the height of the Middle Age arms and armour. They like to say things like the 1500-1700s didn't really improve over the 1400s as the tech doesn't evolve much and then starts to decrease as they phase out of usage. :o( grrrr

Metatron getting scams from my replys bro

It was also used for horseback not standard infantry

I agree.

​@@goldsea1678 I can see why.

​@@off6848 It was also not intended for COMBAT, but for Tilting Tournaments, where you only have a single opponent who is right in front of you and situational awareness is thus less important than not having shattered lance splinters fly up from beneath and lodge themselves in your underjaw, chin, and neck, potentially killing you. Going to battle in a frogmouth helm was the medieval equivalent of going to battle in goalie mask.

@@GuukanKitsune yeah the goalie helmet is a good analogy

I feel like those videos are collective work akin to buzzfeed, instead of a product of a person who is really into the topic.

For sure! Lack of education and just feeding the machine without being really interested in the topic. Basically picking someone at random and telling him to tell a story.

American. For most americans history starts with the founding of the US.

​@@TheKarabanera technically yes I guess... Because Americans never existed before USA was founded? 😁

I'm pretty sure they "make mistakes" (in other words, they lie) on purpose to get more traffic

I could easily see that being a line in some comedy movie or something that pokes fun at hollywood and their habit of making armor offer about as much protection as toilet paper.

Kinda like modern firearm warfare with helmets. Just think, it took until WWI for helmets to become popular and even then entire factions chose to keep wearing caps instead.

Millennia even, the invention of the helmet predates the Roman calendar by at least a couple of thousand years. People have been cracking each other's heads open for a while lol.

​@@robertblake3360 So does the video Metatron is dissecting.

@@yewtewbstew547 The oldest helmets we've found so far are from around 2300 BC, with earliest bronze metal helmet in 1700 BC. So yeah, they've been around for a while.

we live in the 21st century, and the years start with 20, it's always 1 less except for the last year of the century.

@@Obi-WanKannabis It's pretty basic, really: there is no AD 0; there's AD 1, and 1 BC, right next to each other. This fits with the typical use of numbers in arithmetic, where a whole number represents a whole item. So the decade concludes at the end of the 10th year, the century at the end of the 100th year, and so on.

The fact your explaining it as if it’s complicated makes me question your intelligence

You mean 0th? :)

You'd do it on purpose, but the other guy doesn't even try and he's getting everything wrong. That's just raw talent.

You should!

Get like a few things spot on then devolved and then I'd enjoy

@@kileytingey6828 "The increasingly violent incursions by the mysterious Sea People during the Bronze Age Collapse led to many innovative advances in military tactics and technology. "Chief among these was the invention of brass shell casings, most famously used by Niccolo Machiavelli to assassinate Charlemagne in the 21st century B.C."

I won’t be able to watch the rest of the video until later but I’m past the 10 minute mark and I have to say I’m *really* impressed with how much patience you’re showing

Galavant was an awesome show

Lucky you. I'll look that one up.

​@@jennifersilves4195 I couldn't find the vomiting part itself, though seeing "galavant joust scene" here on KZfaq, it looks like I gaslit myself into thinking it was a frog-mouth helm. The knight in question wears an armet (or something similar) instead.

That reminds me of an old Dark Souls meme with the Elite Knight puking Estus through his visor

From the opposition , or friendly fire? Oh, I hope you didn't hit yourself in the leg.

@@gorillaau Hard to tell. It happened a few times. Always when there were a mess of players right up in my face. Also its not like anyone was intentionally slashing. addendum: I would honestly be impressed by any goalie who could, in full gear, slash the back of their own leg. edit: I should reiterate the fact that I played hockey not soccer. We won our games with skill not whining. So something as minor as getting thwacked in the back of the leg with a stick was not something to complain about. Better to just keep playing. Even as the team that constantly had the highest number of penalty minutes against it in the league, our coach consistently had us go against that kind of crybabyism (even if we could have massively benefitted from such behavior given our offense players tendency to get penalized). Never downplaying anything serious, never overemphasizing minor things. Just play the game.

@Lewis Taylor I was in part kidding. Yes, the way padding or Armour is doubled over or halved us interesting. Take another sport, cricket, front of shins are protected but hips are not. See also bodyline series, Australia vs England, in the summer of 1932 to 1933.

@@gorillaau Yeah, I got that you were kidding, but sometimes a lighthearted question is worthy of a serious answer. Frankly speaking protecting one side of something is how most things go about it. From armor to sports protection to kitchen pans (you don't put a non-stick coating on the side that gets heated). Just look at how most battlefield armor is just that, stuff like shin & chest protectors. The full sets I was referring to originally are really just a drop in the bucket in comparison. Plenty of good reasons for doing it this way as well.

@@whyjnot420 Say if a coating is non-stick, how do they get it to stick to the pan?

We gotta start somewhere if we want power armour like in Halo or Warhammer 40k.

@@lonelystrategos This is exactly why I want to become a mechanical engineer.

Molle is totally unnesessary, you've got rigid plates, so you can use sturdier attachment systems, maybe something like the hard points on the H&K XM8 rifle, or even simple screws.

We'll see. But what if it powers down with you in it?

For the helmet, tainted glass in a very strong material is optimal, that way you can conceal what you are looking at or thinking while having optimal range of vision

Well, the cuirasses that the men of Gondor wore looked like it had all the mobility of a muscle cuirass, and hardly in keeping with the contemporary mid 15th century aesthetic that they were going for with their barbutes, as well as the arm and leg armour. That much did look a bit "cosplay".

The thumbnail looks almost exactly like the Loyce Knight helms from the Dark Souls 2 expansion "Crown of the Ivory King". 🤺

Americans shame each other for correcting mistakes, so its no wonder they make them all the time.

1st century is from year 0 to 199... 2nd century is on the dawn of the 200th year and ends on the 300th. Stupid silly historians can't count all regular like.

Yes, but still something you would expect from a kid, rather than from someone who's dealing on history 😅 And it's nearly the same about that "all'antica"..

@@pazzoallaguida True. But based on my initial impression of this channel with their format and style, channels like these are like the 5 Minute Crafts of info channels. They just wanna get as many top 10 videos out there as quick as possible and I guess just do a quick research and don't really proof read anything very much. This channel probably has other topics besides history too, they just know history vids get views. I feel like I recognise the narrator's voice from a different channel somewhere on KZfaq, so it does feel like a content farm channel.

A "simple mistake"? Only for children...and Americans it seems.

Nah, they're just foolish, subpar in the intelligence department. Spouter of foul lies and deceit, they might as well sit in the US Congress.

I wanna know what the Conan one was. All I could make out was the word 'Conan'.

There should be lots of videos about the straps and such. We don't just 'think' they used a hardhat style suspension system, we have found them with it still intact. Metatron has a few, I think Matt over at Scholaglatiatoria does, and Shad too. Examples given in all cases as well, so should give you all the know you need.

it doubles as a bucket

Some of his old videos show him playing around in armor being very mobile.

There is an older video covering this. I forget the name of it. Also there is a video out there of someone doing stuff like cartwheels and running in armor.

@@TheDraco877 I think that's one I've seen. I've also seen one of someone doing a forward roll in a full suit. I had an argument with a coworker about it because he was under the impression that Medieval plate armor was hard to move in and I about died. XD

The misconception comes from people wearing fake armor not actually made for battle or real but not fitting armor.

@@schwarzerritter5724 Also film and television depictions. They never seem to realize that armor weight, when distributed across the body doesn't feel heavy. Much like the "wearing bricks on your head" comment from the video Metatron is talking about. additionally they don't realize how many ways they can segment metal plates to add some really amazing movement.

They're a great content engine, though.

@@asahearts1 nah, these people are superior “cultured” beings, who hates “normie” content.

@@Argo123_.0 They are the normie content.

frogmouth helmet : "are you calling me fat?!? reeee!!" sorry, couldn't resist..

Reminded me of the Mythbusters episode where they made/tested lamellar paper armor (although I believe the myth was Chinese in origin, not Japanese). Surprisingly functional and effective… until it got wet. 😅

The channel has been around for years. It's a variety normie time killer.

I hope you get better. Best of luck. I struggle with addiction and a slew of mental disorders/problems myself. Best of luck and have a good day!

@@zanemob1429 Thanks my g! Best of luck to you too!!!

@@zanemob1429 stop it, please, get some help

I'm beginning to base my reference of history on what he has to say. He makes sense! I wish he would do a show about, "The Man in the Iron Mask" (if he hasn't already). Not exactly armor but intriguing. What kind of mask, could have been some kind of helmut could be worn for 34 years? To me this is one of the most interesting parts of past history. Would love to know Metatron's thoughts about it!

there's nothing wrong with Be Amazed, they just parsed the full name. The full name of the channel probably was 'Be Amazed At How Bad We Are At Research'

Info is not too bad, most are just not related to the actual content (dates,language, photos).And just clarified correct information (helmet weight).

Only for mounted combat I would assume

@@off6848 There are some sources that show this helmet in on-foot combat. For example a battle scene in "Combat of the Thirty" by Pierre Le Baud

@@vast634 was it possibly depicting a duel after dismounting?

@@off6848 Thats possible, that he dismounted and did not plan to fight on foot (which is always a possibility in a battle). But it mostly shows that this type of helmet was not just tournament equipment. At least according to what that source depicts.

The list?

Hehehe. There is no 0 AD.

@@caelestigladii Got me. It went from 1 BC straight to 1 AD. Dates are confusing, hahaha

The thing is, that you learned in PRIMARY school. These people are (allegedly) adults

One of his older videos explains the symbol and the name of the channel. It's quite good! I'd suggesting watching that.
