Awesome video,
However, I would like to clarify that Babylon became Al-Fostat city not Cairo (Al-Qahera) was build later during the Fatimids era. The name Al-Qahera was after planet Mars which was back then called Al Qaher. The name has also dual meaning which could be either the Vanquisher or the Conqueror. The modern Cairo engulfed more than 3 cities within its modern boundaries. Just a clarification

Also I am pretty sure that the reason the Romans wanted to keep an eye on the time of the floods of the river was to protect themselves and the fort. As that was their primary goal.
I just don't see them intrested in farming.

Very interesting video. The fort actually fulfilled its job, stalling a far larger force for months, too bad the eastern Romans at the time were in a period of political instability and religious infighting.

its dimensions are interesting. Thought it wouldve been much larger than that. Sounds cramped all those different buildings like homes, shops, workshops etc plus all the people too? Crazy

Are there any details as to what was the composition of the Roman force? Was is a Comitatenses legion or just Limitanei? Or some other formation? Would be curious to know.

This is a very good video! Looking forward to see more forts covered! Be it Roman or not
Also including a section testing how well the fort did against invaders is great

So the Romans/Egyptians traded with India. Why isnt this taught in school? We had better communication with the whole world 2000 years ago then we do now.

Started off a nice video about a fort then turned into a story about the Arab conquest of Egypt which triggered me. Thanks for the bait and switch! Lol

Babylon? I've been to Babylon it's in modern Iraq. Hmm. Well that kind of makes sense the Romans and Greeks were very interested in Eastern mythology.

Do you think you could do an in depth video on Cincinnatus? I think it would be an amazing video and compliment well with the Titus Manlius episode.

Constantinople wasn't Consantinople, its name was Byzantium (Byzantio) which I guess is the reason the Easter Roman Empire is called Byzantium.

For a second I was scratching my head and wondering why that ancient Mesopotamian city suddenly became a Roman fort in Egypt.

I may have heard wrong but did he claim Cairo is the modern ancient Babylon? I thought Babylon was in Iraq near present day Baghdad.

Cool video. The one thing that I don't understand is the low bridge across the Nile. This would have blocked the river traffic.
