I have lived in South Africa for 50 years and this podcast has lots of echoes. The disingenuous nature of racists was sickening under apartheid too. Much food for thought.

Listening from Saudi Arabia, what an amazing episode. But I have a note regarding suggesting that Kaaba maybe was built at the end of the 7th century, from a historical point of view, I think it is diffucilt to deny the existence of Kaaba before Islam let alone the existence of Kaaba during the birth of Islam in the beginnings of the 7th century. If you read the history of Quraysh tribe which is the main tribe in Mecca and the tribe that Muhammad belongs to, you cannot really understand how this tribe became prominant without suggesting that maybe they had something that poeple came to visit which I believe is the Kaaba, every major dynasty came from this tribe (the Umayyads, the Abbasids...etc). the whole hisotry of Mecca as a city and the tribes of Mecca could not be understood without thinking that maybe there was something in Mecca that brought people to it and made it and its people the richest and most prominant in Arabia. However, of course from a historical point of view, no one can say that Adam or Ibrahim are the ones who have built Kaaba because there is nothing that indicate this, let alone indicate the presence of those figures. But I believe Kaaba was there before the 7th century, and maybe you could aruge that there were different Kabbas in Arabia including the one in Mecca, and actually even in Islamic litrature, it's said that when the Kingdom of Aksum (the famous Ethiopian kingdom) conquered Yemen, the African King of this empire did not like that the tribes of Yemen go north to Mecca to visit the Kaaba, so he decided to build his own Kaaba in Yemen. However, accoding to Islamic litrature, his Kaaba did not attract people so he became angry and decided to invade Mecca to dystroyed the Kaaba, however his invasion has failed because god have sent birds to attack the invading army by throwing stones at it until the army retreated. So from this story, we can understand that the early muslims were not oppose to the idea that other Kaabas could have been there in Arabia. However, it's clear that all of them were forgotten and none became more important than the Kaaba in Mecca, and this may suggest that theory of many Kaabas could have been acceptable but the theory that there was no Kaaba until the late 7th century is somehting that I think is really diffuclt to say.

"Carl Soggen" 🤦‍♂️

Y'all sure dragon this Little Bighorn thing out, huh...? 🤠🐉

Some maps and other visual representations would have been useful for the audience.

Wallace Hartley is still remembered in Colne. ‘The lad done well.’

I love hearing limeys attempting to imitate us yanks X)

You don't touch on class antagonism. When I left England in the early 70s I felt that the absurd class distinctions would surely just fade away. Alas not so. If anything the antipathy has become worse.

All this woke narrative.. "violence" this, "violence" that ... Thats how the world was at the time! Do you think that they were walking into hippie communities overseas and were welcomed with flowers?? And with that other religion, do you know that they had occupied Iberia for 500 years?? And that they also had done "things" to the natives?? Sick of this politically correct BS. These were great feats within the values of THAT TIME!

I would fry a pie.

With regards to the Old Testament and dragons, you guys should check out your fellow UA-camr Paul Wallis and his sister channel The 5th Kind. All the ancient traditions/religions are linked by a similar narrative

I am possibly one of the most cynical people out there, but I do love your channel.

So we could call this Lutheran reformation "The 1519 project"

26:45 'Hindustani' can mean Urdu or Hindi (which are much the same as each other, main difference being that they are written in different scripts). So yes, if she learnt Urdu from Abdul, then it would be fair to say that she couldve addressed her troops in 'Hindustani'.

The Rest is your podcast used to be good... when we could listen to it

The Rest is a bunch of evil capitalists who want you to sell your soul to Spotify

The Rest is Lame until they fix the youtube feed

Excellent podcast from Pale Sparrow & Lazy Dog!

@29:13 Would've been a great time to interject the famous Jean-Jacques Rousseau quote from Discourse on the Origin of Inequality:

"Sioux" is actually a slur. *Edit: Glad y'all touched on that.

What are the thoughts that Karl Marx brought in a new Protest-ant reformation?

I had no idea there was more to Alfred than burnt cakes. This was a wonderful episode!

"So-called" boston massacre, Dom?!! My sister was killed in the Boston Massacre!

the opening impressions of marx and trump were so funny omg

Bows weren't secret but what was shocking was the number of well trained longbow users You could get 3-6 well trained crossbowmen in the time it would take for a moderately strong shooter of a warbow However crossbows power is necessary to make up for their short draw length and a 500 lb lever spanning crossbow is still a bit less powerful than a 165lb longbow Less prone to stoppage a bow was Crossbows were cheap to run in terms of ammo and training, the french only had around 200-400 at sluys compared to the English with around 2000-4000 The 900 lb crossbows were more energetic for most of their range than a longbow but took around 40 secs to ready Even with the heavy crossbows able to be more severely injuring through maille and carries more risk of splinters when hitting plate they were no match The English ships had tall wooden castle structures on their fore, aft and mast which gave the longbowmen a bit more cover, especially more than the low down french road ships Compared the 40 secs steady rate to each longbowmen able to steadily put an arrow down every 15 or less secs, frequently shooting faster than this

The Great Wall(s) of China were mostly built of mud-brick. The Pyramids in Egypt were not built with slave labour. I thought that myth was dispelled a long time ago

Dragonologist... lmao

Nah, surely the IDF? The most moral army in the universe. Be funny if it wasn't so tragic

‘Founded’ 😂 by the English and Scottish 😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Can we take it that releasing the last Custer episode to UA-cam has been dropped?

What! No mention of Pete's Dragon? 😂

Luther: A rabid antisemite

not democracies, which coincidentally are never allowed to get set up. These are REPUBLICS that always fall into dictatorship. Get it right.

Is it true that Crazy Horse rode a dragon at the Little Big Horn?

The fact that the men and young boys had to forfeit their lives when there were seats in the boats is criminal on the part of the British officers.

You think some of these guys are stretching the truth about their credentials and their exploits to maybe later write a book and sell it to the people of the United States and such that one guy with the Mormons and all his adventures in the South Seas I got a wonder about that

You chaps should definitely record an episode after downing a bottle of port. You would be totally out of control and i for one would dig it.

Fantastic podcast. I absolutely love disco music; in its true form. It's possibly the most misunderstood style of popular music in recent history. Unfortunately, like many trends in dance music thereafter, it fell prey to parody and commercialism. The vile cynicism of Disco Demolition Night 1979 was definitely the catalyst for the end of an era, but if you listen to much the 'dance music' of the early 1980s, it's still essentially disco. Not much changed stylistically except for the move towards using synthesizers and drum machines in favour of 70s style orchestral production. The four-to-the-floor beat is still ever present, along with the funky syncopation, octave basslines, horn stabs and soaring vocals. Disco still lives on and has a thriving subculture in the modern era thanks to its revival as part of the 'funkier', more soulful side of house music. In fact, much of what may have previously been classed as funky house or indie-dance is now being tagged as nu-disco. As Gloria Gaynor once said, “Disco music is alive and well and living in the hearts of music-lovers around the world. It simply changed its name to protect the innocent: Dance music.”

It's all bollox! None of the contemporary historians seemed to have noticed this Jesus fellow, supernatural or otherwise.

Hello Tom - the dragon in Beowulf, the first dragon of English literature, is very much a flier - e,g, nihtes fléogeð, fýre befangen, 'he flies by night, in fire encircled' (ll. 2273b-2274a).

Real good apart for the advert for tampax

If you really like history videos, i really recomend my channel!!!

'Don Juan' - like 'Essay on Man' and 'Hunting of the Snark' - is one of those poems which work like one of those a poisoned arrow in fairy tales, digging deeper and deeper into my heart as the years pass.

This is great apart for the adverts for tampax

Yes, I remember writing that account! Thank you. But only 5 troops out of 12 were wiped out with Custer, the other 7 troops survived but took casualties.

There are a lot of clever girls and working women in Christies work too who make the case for female independence and are very authentic characters not pale background figures

It seems that buggery in the ancient world was pervasive.

They massacred men, women and children... Ponies though 😱 🤷🏻‍♂️

Can we have the last Custer episode please rather than this.

There's a very old Polish legend about the dragon in Krakow, living in a cave, spitting fire and eating virgins, killed by a clever shoemaker, who prepares a meal of explosives sewn into sheep skin. And another creature similar to dragon, called Basilisk, Bazyliszek that dies when seeing its own reflection... a bit like Medusa.
