We human beings really have not changed for the wiser since the middle ages. Whenever something bad happens, we look for someone who is different from us to blame. How many innocent lives have been lost.

Well NIMBY works well also if they look just like you but don't follow the exact same social norms as you. Racism is actually a small part of descimanory spectrum.

It's fascinating how as a certain event unfolded or decisions made (eg. Zheng He's armada and his death stops China's global maritime exploration), how the siege of Constantinople by a Muslim Caliphate spelt the demise of the Silk Road which led Europe to seek new ways to reach Asia and the beginning of European colonisation, etc. All in all that changed the course of history or the trajectory of nations along the way to modern times.

Excellent documentary. Well worth the watch. Some of the people who rarely get a mention and should be are here. Few working in the medical profession have heard of Galen for example.

Silk Road may be regarded as the ancient Internet through which goods and ideas were cross referenced, yet we continue to debate on the origin of customs and artifices, be it East or West.

Love how cannabis ruderalis is also a fantastic example synonymous with these millet grains. A crop that finished in about two months aswell, any time of year.

@lumberpilot 11 ай бұрын

I can see where the ability to produce a surplus amount of grain would not only create room for craftsmen and leaders, but it would also increase the general population the vast majority of which would be farmers creating more and more surplus for a smaller and smaller ruling elite.

I learned in school that this* is the basis of culture and civilization. If you produce surplus, you don't have to spend literally every waking moment searching for food.

Istanbul etymology comes from Greek, meaning this is the city

@adamtyson3962 11 ай бұрын

@50:50 the claim that Istanbul is "from a Turkish word meaning: 'find Islam'" is complete nonsense. I'm not sure how that got into an otherwise great documentary. It comes from the Turkified Greek phrase "eis tan polis" (εἰς τὴν Πόλιν) meaning "to the city." Perhaps they got confused by another occasional name for Ottoman Istanbul which was "Islambul" which does mean "find Islam" in Turkish as "bul" would be the mandative form of bulmek, the verb "to find."

We no longer have the type of timber e.g. size and length. Just look at the trouble France had to go through to get the timber to rebuild Notre dame.

It seens to have come around again, full circle.

@ymhktravel 11 ай бұрын

Yeah, kinda familiar isn't it? Ming Dynasty China has traded and exchanged goods with Africa, Middle East and gave maritime security to nations along the route centuries ago. Fast forward to present, China is again making inroads to countries in Africa and perhaps the Mid-east. Surely is one full circle and it's not over yet.
