He should be on pbs. This guy is the real deal

My history teacher is as boring as watching water evaporate from a glass but it rambles about some easy topic in a sleep inducing way

I'm waiting for the day some bullshit MBA dean pisses him off and causes him to get on YT full time.

@@shaheenadibi959 preach 🙏🏼

He _is_ your history teacher :) Or one of them, at least. You can always have more than one teacher!

Wow that's a great way to retire, enjoy your history filled retirement sir! What's it like living in Italy? I may do this for the same reason one day...

@@Caesar-ww3yp well, it depends on where you live here. Sicily and southern Italy is crazy. I actually had to bribe a local official to get papers for my residency. And after 3 years , I still don’t have it. 😂

I know it's not the same as having a dedicated video and a map would certainly help. Also i'd like to notice that some parts where kind of confusing to me untill i realized that when he is using the selfie camera on the phone (everywhere apart from the Templum Pacis portion) the image is mirrored so you see whoat would be on the right on the left and viceversa. This is especially noticeable where you have views on his back. Anyway the ancient seven hills were the following: 3:43 - standing on the top of Quirinale (n.1) 4:21 - Here he is standing onthe side of Esquilino more or less where it merges with Quirinale and Viminale (n.2). If you stop the video at 4:30 behind the fountain you see the beginning of Via nazionale. That street essentially goes down to the forum area in a "valley" with the Quirinale hill on it's right and the Viminale on it's left (inverted in the video). 6:24 - walking through Esquilino (n.3). The southernmost branches of Esquilino are also colled Oppio where the domus aurea and later Tito and Traiano thermal baths stood 8:29 - walking through Celio (n.4) 10:58 - Palatino (n.5) behind him (mind that with the rounded edge of the circus you would have the Palatio on your right) 11:25 - standing on Aventino (n.6) 12:15 - View of the forum standing on Capitolino (n.7) to the side of the old tabularium (here as well the arch of septimio severo on the right would be on your left) The city later expanded on the other side of the river and to the north and other hills became part of it.. I think these are the 3 you refer to that might bring the count up to 10. 11:30 - if you stop the video here the dome in the distance to the right is San Pietro while more to the right you can barely see behind the pine tree the Gianicolo Hill (n.8). This is particularly confusing since the selfie camera on the phone is mirroring the image and standing there in real life you would see the Gianicolo on your left. 0:00 - obviously Vatican hill is where the vatican sits (n.9) - Pincio (n.10) is also pretty famous (the one facing Piazza del Popolo and Piazza di spagna to the north-east) but it's not visible in this video. I'd argue that some of the ancient Hills are less visible since they have been built over many times through the history of the city, many slopes where smoothed and buildings sitting all over their sides somewhat hide them. They would have been probably more prominent in anciant times. You can still perceive the fatigue going up and down if you walk through them. I think it's also relevant to note that while now living up or down does not make much of a difference topography would have been much more important in ancient times for many reasons Defense was easier on high ground, floods would hit lower areas, though sewage existed it was only gradually introduced and not at modern scale which ment water would tend to wash down dirt etc, wind on hills woud have brought cleaner air, staying high would have granted more light, you would also have had to consider itineraries more carefully when moving heavy stuff since with no automation going uphill was way more complicate. For these reasons the hills would have probably been a common presence in the mind of the people living there and hierarchy would have been reflected in that with ritcher families building their palaces on the hillsides.
