Hey Britt, it's the archaeologist again. :-)
I've been following your channel for a while now, and I don't think you're stupid at all, as you've labeled yourself. Just because you haven't learned some things (yet). You're learning them now. Stupid are those who don't ask questions.
I run a small channel myself with videos on archaeology and history. Among them is a video on German history that I made especially in English for the American audience: "The Germanies - fragmented but never broken." I'm deliberately not including the link here so my post doesn't get filtered out. I would be very grateful if you would respond to this video and help me raise awareness of my channel.
Thanks, Peter.

Here to watch her try say "Carthaginian" 😂

Hannibal Barca's last words: "Let us now relieve the Romans from the anxiety they have so long experienced, since they think it tries their patience to wait for an old man's death."

Scipio Africanus's last words engraved on his tomb: "Ungrateful fatherland, you will not even have my bones."

You have to be careful what you send into Rome. If you send them a ship, they'll analyze it and build a war fleet. If you send them a Hannibal, they'll analyze it and build a Scipio Africanus.

16:12 Apparently the Roman Commander was furious that Archimedes was killed because he had planned to recruit him to work for Rome

@travisanderson77 11 months ago

The battle of Silva Litana was utterly catastrophic for Rome, where it's estimated only about 13 Romans survived out of around 25,000, roughly a 0.05% survival rate. News of which arrived shortly after news of the defeat at Cannae, causing a second wave of panic.

There isn’t so much as a Third Punic War as there is “Rome did a little victory lap that salted Carthage.”

1:00:19 "Sir, A third punic war has hit the towers"

@connorthompson8376 11 months ago

No, no. At the battle of a Lipa, the elephants you see are fighting in Spain. That is not Hannibal’s army.

5:15 the Vestal Virgins weren't just any women, they were chosen when still kids and then dedicated to Vesta. Them fooling around was a really really big deal and all participants in the hanky panky got punished severely whether there was a war going on or not

@remo27 11 months ago

Spunk is not Rizz. Rizz is short for 'charisma'. Spunk would be more like open bravery, that 'come and get some' attitude that Spartans often showed their enemies.

@Evasion381 11 months ago

don't expect much of the third Punic war, basically Cathage raised a terrible army to defend against Numidian land grabs (which got defeated) and Rome jumped on it to crush them

@calebmorrow96 11 months ago

"The Archimedes Death Ray" uses a collection of small mirrors in a near-half-circle cupping formation to focus the light of the sun. The effects have been tested, and it's powerful enough to melt lead.

Of all the oversimplified series I've seen, this is by far my favorite. He had a lot to work with and did a spectacular job

@tindansandow8823 11 months ago

19:10 Imagine your dads name is Wibur (not the pig) but Wilbur and you are also called Wilbur, in order to differentiate between dad and son, he will be called Wilbur and you will be called Wilbur Jnr. That is the same idea that applies to Scipio, much like Pliny the elder and Pliny the younger.

22:54 Nah Britt you wrong for that 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@Dino-god69 11 months ago

20% of the USA’s 18-30 male population is 6,980,000 for perspective on what Hannibal and his army did to the Romans.

@oldcodger4371 11 months ago

Baby girl, the Romans killed ALL the Carthaginians. They poured salt on the land so it could not grow crops. Rome essentially nuked Carthage.

2:55 it is a skin, but it is not from a cheetah, cheetahs unless they have the King mutation have small dark dots for markings. Those are leopard spots, looking more like circles and semicircles with a fading pattern.
