Like today?

eventually everything kind of turned to shit and the societies basically had to rebuild

for the virus the Justinian plague is interesting

there

it's speculated that it might have been the Black Death before the big one came

More than one World War, could be there was also multiple Black Deaths

I wonder if that one came from China too, the Romans and Chinese did have trading networks at the time

does no society ever listen to the conservatives

the Spartans did

they were so conservative they conserved themselves into complete irrelevence

they forgot to kill everyone else before becoming conservative

That's basically the only time anyone listens to conservatives

shame

I bet their society was one of the closest to a utopia that there's been

before the whole disapearing thing at least

i aint into this scientology thing

kinda boring

well they had a small class of citizens with all the power and the rest of the people were basically slaves

I'd kind of doubt it. Most utopias i imagine have medicine

and a handful of women held most of the money and power

impossible, women were always oppressed until obama was elected

the spartans weren't big on breeding outside their class so their numbers diminished over time

still seems interesting though

sparta was weird

they had 2 kings at a time

lot less violent than dying to a regressive left at least

and they didn't hold total power but they weren't figure heads either

there was like a council of elders

sounds like a decent system

great channel by the way

maybe could be a thing today, but with machines instead of slaves

it's weird how he can get so much personality into little coloured squares

the slaves (Helots) were the natives there, the Spartans were invaders

and they made sure to never forget that

they were vastly out numbered by the Helots and kept a mindset of eternal vigilance over them in case they rebelled

oh yeah that video
good video besides the modern take on wymin he drops for no reason

his videos on Caesar are definitely worth watching

a bit sad they're over now, maybe he'll move on to cover Antony and Octavian

i hate Euro or Med history...

what? it's the best history
