Have we devolved? Yes and no, as the ancient Greeks didn t understand the formative period of adolescence and their roles in society must be kept up else the ritual of castes would crumble. Many of us struggle with mental health issues and physical impairments today, and not enough of us receive the support we should Back then, many amazing minds never would have received a chance to even speak, let alone change the world for better or worse. Ah, historical irony

Another great movie about Sparta and the Battle of Thermopylae is 300 Spartans with Richard Egan!
It was filmed on location at that battlefield! The movie also shows some of the political intrigue going on at the time the Spartans were being slaughtered by Xerses!
I took a tour in 1976 which went to the bridge overlooking the battlefield. The tour guide confirmed it WAS filmed there! She also confirmed it was off limits to tourists!

When it comes to the ancient world there is almost 0 critical credibility. I don't think people that watches these kind of videos really cares about the subject.
Plutarch is the sole historical source for the Spartan practice of systemic infanticide motivated by eugenics.

Lol you forgot that Spartans only laid with women to have more Spartans, and in the dark. Otherwise they were laying with each other its hilarious seeing conservatives wear spartan icons, not knowing what Spartans ACTUALLY did

2: 36 Yknow, if that were normalized in today s society, we d have much less issues with body image and insecurities. How did we all become so ashamed of ourselves and judgmental of others at the same time?

My favorite narrator dont care for the voice change imitating ie if you kids do not knock it off, yeah you gotta put on your clothes.
His regular voice is best. If it ain't broke don't try to fix it

What a crazy civilization. Their way of life was so antagonistic to human nature, yet they made it work for hundreds of years. I mean how many other peoples have had a diarchy?

Did you know the Spartans were really fierce, and they'd throw away old weapons?
They thought that if it wasn't sharp, it didn't have a point.

4: 47 I remember in the 80s when those types of mohawks were in a lot of films, especially when the characters were punks or gang members!

Spartans lived a spartan lifestyle.
I'll quickly show myself out before I get pelted with digital tomatoes for a corny dad joke.
