guidoLaMoto Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 As I mentioned on another thread here recently, I regret never having learned Latin in an audiolingual way, so I'm getting a kick out of watching and listening to this series of videos done with a good sense of humor in slow, fairly simple Latin (with English subtitles). They provide insight into facts of daily living in ancient Rome and about some of the back-story to famous Roman ruins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caesar novus Posted June 18 Author Report Share Posted June 18 (edited) This is one of the best aerial Rome videos, altho a little heavy on dramatic dawn/dusk lighting and color boost (HDR?). You can navigate to ancient stuff with the chapters if not wanting the full hour. BTW if you for instance sampled a Greek video in that channel (not as good) then bailed out, you may suffer several days of youtube hammering you with endless recommended Greek videos. Youtube describes a way to limit this digression from your interest profile, maybe cultivated for years. Go into History (sometimes under Library) and X out or otherwise delete the Greek vid from your history - voila! Also delete from Watch Later if applicable; do all this sooner rather than later.

caesar novus Posted July 9 Author Report Share Posted July 9 Some may not be subscribed to this alternate T.I.S. channel, so am posting a pretty juicy video on Herculaneum. I don't agree that Herc outshines Pompeii, but almost every voice of the internet does so. Note how it's most prominent person is a rich ex slave; think of that when Rome is getting stereotyped for slavery. While waiting for part 2, let me concede that Herc. may eventually outshine Pompeii when it's vast outer footprint is dug up. Everyone assumes it will take centuries to push residents off that land, but here is a video showing how depopulation is sweeping Italy now; they are turning the lights off in Genoa for instance. Some complain about Zeihan's sweeping generalizations, and it is true that his value comes from being a provocative brainstormer, novel yet plausible. Here is wise myth punching spin about his most famous claims, and hopefully that allows more optimism for Italy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
