Okay but the gym guy voice caught me so off guard 😂😂. Shit killed me 😂. Please don't ever stop narrating my dude. You are a freaking gem lol

I have loved this channel for many years now ,the humor and narrator! Still wonderful and so glad you have so many millions of people who love WH just as much as I do!

The dude who narrates these videos is the best part. So enjoyable, I really appreciatethe the effort and style of the narration. Thank you for bringing me happiness ...I would love a video about you.

I've seen plenty of videos about Sparta. But I watched this one by weird history for the entertaining sarcasm . I needed a picker upper this morning .

“The Spartans do not ask how many are the enemy but where are they.” - Plutarch

3:42 I will have to practice the phrase "Pyrrhic victory," such a great and historically significant phrase!

First we’ll take them from the front. Then, reach around and we’ll take them from the rear. It’s a battle formation

9:04 Reminds me of the catchphrase "Who Watches The Watchmen?" for the book Watchmen (1987). Even as a comic book maxiseries, it was listed as one of TIME's 100 Best Novels (between 1923 and 2005).

Living in ancient times was like living in hell

The kick of meme history

That Plutarch quote about the iron rods was the greatest quote I've ever heard I couldn't have said it better myself Truly Marvelous

Can you do one on Celtic society, and innuit traditions, or the weird myths and creatures from these societies

Another great movie about Sparta and the Battle of Thermopylae is "300 Spartans" with Richard Egan! It was filmed on location at that battlefield! The movie also shows some of the political intrigue going on at the time the Spartans were being slaughtered by Xerses! *I took a tour in 1976 which went to the bridge overlooking the battlefield. The tour guide confirmed it WAS filmed there! She also confirmed it was off limits to tourists!*

Great job on this video.

This is SPARTA! Epic line 😊

I have already watched both videos in the thumbnail at the end (and all the Sparta videos), so I am going to watch the videos "What It Was Like To Be A Roman Soldier" and "What It Was Like To Be A Medieval Soldier."

10:58 I remember when those dollar readers were new and often didn't work at all! There would be a whole group of people trying to get the machine to eat the dollar, sometimes only to have it become stuck!

Thanks for doing a video on my ancestors.

Now that Sparta has been taken apart, how about an episode on Athens?

Tell me more about the Sumerian city of Ur.

A+ video! LOVE IT!

For the interested, the channel History Buffs did a very good historical analysis on "300."

2:36 Yknow, if that were normalized in today’s society, we’d have much less issues with body image and insecurities. How did we all become so ashamed of ourselves and judgmental of others at the same time?

2:50 That backwards running movement reminds me of the awesome music video "Little Black Book" by Belinda Carlisle.

I truly love this channel, a huge shout out to the narrator. His delivery is great as is the editing so well done all who's involved. Making history....fun?...I guess lol kind of like drunk history but your own spin. Great job. Getting left on a mountain top to die if youre not a perfect Spartan is a cold piece. :(

First of all I’m going to give credit to my Star Teacher, my Latin teacher of 3 years in high school. Thank you Mrs. S.

This Is... Weird History!

This is… a nice video!

Please make a video about Emma Goldman!

1:00: 🍷 Spartan infants were bathed in wine as a strength test. 2:32: 🏛 The video discusses the emphasis on female strength in ancient Sparta and how it impacted the city's defense. 7:27: 🗡 Spartan boys were trained from a young age to become warriors, including participating in a yearly event where they hunted and killed slaves to maintain dominance and prevent uprisings. 10:17: 💰 The video discusses the concept of money and the use of iron currency in ancient Sparta. Recap by Tammy AI

6:56 "And life for them was pretty much helot on earth." Gotta love it when Weird History throws in a random pun. 🥳🔥👍👏

11:14 That reminds me of a scene in the film The Darwin Awards (2006). A guy tries to "game the system" and reaches underneath the opening of the vending machine to get the merchandise for free. He gets his arm stuck and ends up dying.

10:07 Pizza Delivery is such a luxury, like living as a king!

Eating ANOTHER Weird History meal! This time eating SPAGHETTIOS (from the Weird History Food video "Fun Facts About Your Favorite 90s Food") with basil and two singles of THREE CHEESE VELVEETA CHEESE melted over the top while drinking cafe con leche...while watching this Weird History video!

Thanks!

2:37 One of my longtime facebook friends is Becca Swanson AKA Strongest Ever, the world record-breaking powerlifter, weightlifter and professional wrestler.

5:35 Hopefully they add Bachelor Party to Netflix soon, I have watched almost all their Tom Hanks films!

Thanks for this! 🗡 #WeirdHistory #Sparta #Spartans

My favorite narrator ❤ dont care for the voice change imitating ie "if you kids do not knock it off", "yeah you gotta put on your clothes..." His regular voice is best. If it ain't broke don't try to fix it 😊

“Have we devolved?” Yes and no, as the ancient Greeks didn’t understand the formative period of adolescence and their roles in society must be kept up else the ritual of castes would crumble. Many of us struggle with mental health issues and physical impairments today, and not enough of us receive the support we should… Back then, many amazing minds never would have received a chance to even speak, let alone change the world for better or worse. Ah, historical irony

Can we talk about how people dealt with hot and cold weather?

How about the Indians of North America, Pre-White man?

Kids these days think they have it hard. I love your videos, so funny.

Holy Baader-Meinhoff Batman, this is like the 4th Spartan video I have seen posted by a channel I am subbed to today... Is it Sparta's birthday or something?

4:47 I remember in the 80s when those types of mohawks were in a lot of films, especially when the characters were punks or gang members!

Did anyone else just watch PointlessHubs video on the 300 movie, and then this popped up. How strange.

The Spartans would probably hear about those pacific islanders that used huge stone wheels for money and think that they were onto something, since if you could kill somebody with a huge fuck-off boulder instead of an iron rod then you had some epic loot on your hands.

Your voice reminds me of one of my favorite narrator, Grover Gardner.

7:34 "During a new interview with Variety, Lawrence was asked if she would ever star in another Hunger Games film, to which she said, “Oh, my God-totally!" (PureWow)

6:39 you made a terrible mistake. Spartans are Laconians.... That's why the Λ (ΛΑΚΩΝΙΑ) on their shields. "Λ" is the English "L" (Laconia).

Love this narrator😂

10:49 That image reminds me of Pick-Up Sticks. "...One day back in 1966, pick up sticks..." (The Waterboy, 1998)

Fun fact: in Australia we call toilets a dunny. We also don't say, i need to use the bathroom or restroom we say i need to got to the dunny or toilet. A bathroom to us is actually the room where a shower &/or bath with a vanity. A dunny is mostly in the bathroom but it can also be in it's own room. I remember being at Taronga Zoo on the north side of Sydney Harbour & an American woman approached us & asked if we know where the bathroom is. Our reply was, the dunny? She stared at us, we said are u after the toilets & she blushed & said yes like the word toilet was an embarrassing word. We said down here we don't go to the bathroom, we go to toilet or dunny & you'll find the signs won't say bathrooms that it'll say toilets. I never knew toilet was an embarrassing word.

Love Sparta

2:44 We need a series based on this VO alone

How about a video about the ancient Irish warriors?

For anyone (very) interested in Hellenic warfare I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's videos series

As a gigolo I use my iron rod as currency quite often. It works quite well!

We watched a 50s movie about the 300 back in highschool.

Big metal rods as money. 😮 Spartans were Hardcore AF. Everything was Extreme for them. 🥴

"On November 13th, Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence. That request came from his wife. Deep down, he knew she was right, but he also knew that someday he would return to her. With nowhere else to go, he appeared at the home of his childhood friend, Oscar Madison. Sometime earlier, Madison's wife had thrown him out, requesting that he never return. Can two divorced men share an apartment without driving each other crazy?" Seeing the Odd Couple in this video put a smile on my face!!

Did you know the Spartans were really fierce, and they'd throw away old weapons? They thought that if it wasn't sharp, it didn't have a point."

Can you do a video on the sumarians. Also a video on that race from 10,000 years ago that everyone keeps saying built the sphinx before Egypt was a desert, 😂🧌

I need an adult annimation set in sparta starring a sparta loving hellot who absolutely loves their life and continually annoys the other hellots 😅😂😂

What's the music used called?

2:40 I remember when the girls had to wrestle with the guys for high school wrestling.

Love the plutarch impression sounded like Nicolas Cage 10:33 but yeah it sounds as rough as i thought it be. The married woman tradition is kinda weird though lol.

Pointless Hub uploading a video on "300" same day as Weird History talking about Sparta? Nice.

Wish they would just use the normal narration voice instead of the weird imitations in recent videos.

THIS IS DOUBTFIRE!!!!!!!

Staring at a screen for hours on end is weirder than any of that

Best meme

You gotta stab the vending machine with a iron rod, to get that box of twizzlers.

4:15 - WRONG. Each Spartan man was assigned a house and land. They simply couldn't claim it until they were 30 years old... _or_ unless they were married. But the laws of Sparta held strict curfews and fraternization laws for both sexes, sometimes carrying the penalty of death-- and _the laws of Lycurgus could never be changed._ This is why marriage ceremonies were a ritualized abduction. The marriage was only legal, once the couple snuck across town, and settled in their house. But the couple did, in fact, live together, so long as the man showed up at the Agoge for his regular duties. Sparta was the only Greek city-state in which men and women married at roughly the same age. I will grant you this: At least you didn't use it to assume that all Spartans were somehow gay-- this time.

Yeah, Sparta was one weird city-state!

That’s not Yoko Ono in the picture, it’s May Pang,

Is this a re-upload?

Now make a video about ancient Athens, those philosophers and boy lovers.

2:49 sadly Yes, Yes We are.

Yes this is all well and good but when are we getting Timeline 2000s

I need at least 2 other elders to check this kid the green light. Ten minutes later, Okay he passes, but we'll call him testicleese. Especially since both are huge compared to the other two.

You say Sparta had TWO KINGS and you don't make a Tenacious D reference. Missed opportunity.

Farming and nursing isn't exactly "unskilled labour" lol

nope its jus what I expected

Add subtitles please

Those Spartan women would make good money on social media.

Me exercising nude with the rest. No exercise would be done they all be laughing to hard. 😂

I already knew about some of the information told in this video from the British children's TV show Horrible Histories . I guess Spartan women were more KICKA$$ than Miley Cyrus in her Flowers video . As for the Spartan boys , well let's just say I wouldn't survive IF i were born back then ( I was a late bloomer ) . ♑️✍️🇳🇴🇦🇺

So you're telling me, its *nothing* like the Snyder movie?? 🤨

11:21 Not at all as I would expected.

Two words: "Coin Money." Any words after that are either a good or a bad idea. 😶

Guess you can say we missed out on a lot of cool facts.. Damn school lol

Hey y'all 😮

Getting historical knowledge from Hollywood movies is good way to become stupid

If today it's unthinkable, unacceptable and unbearable for many, MANY men the idea of equal rights for women because they feel threatened by it, imagine they being taught about Spartan society and.... Spartan women! It's their worst nightmare coming alive😂

There's nothing left of Sparta yet Athens still stands in all its glory proving the pen is mightier than the sword

Is YT really demonetizing for ancient art (with nudity)?😭😭 That's wild... I'm sorry you have to do that. I love this channel so much! 🎉

Never seen the movie

Sparta, who lost as many battles as they won, whose battle tactics were terrible (they were good with the phalanx formation, but sucked at logistics), whose greatest victories were with Persian money and support, who only had hegemony for a brief time before failing and losing it, whose free people had no freedoms and whose slaves (60%-80% of the population) were treated worse than any slaves in history, produced no art, philosophy, or monuments. Thucydides even surmised that people would never know they ever lived. But their propaganda survived. The Power of Propaganda is that we think Sparta was good at what they did.

The women dressed as men and shaved their hair as up to that point, Spartan men had spent all their 'sexy time' with other Spartan men
