Mr Terry, mid-2020, looking forward to making travel documentaries, involving much international travel.
2021: yeah, good luck with that…
I can just image those prim Victorians discovering that the Olympians were nude in ancient Greece.
Have done long jumping in high school and a bit of college, and though I haven't practiced the method myself, as an athlete I can see it would work in practicality and can understand why they took the method away in the more modern Olympics and well. When doing Long Jump you're doing a running start (believe it or not, you're footwork would be important too for Long and Triple Jump) and using your core, legs, knees, AND arms to propel you forward as much as possible when you jumped into the sand pit; how far you jumped would be measured of which "board" or line distance from the sand pit you jumped off of (8 ft board, 12 ft board, etc). The weights, or stones in this case, would act as a type of pendulum to "carry" you forward if the running start didn't already do so.
The physics experts commenting on this as well here are correct as well on the topic. Again, I'm only speaking as an athlete.
The undisputed longest term pankration champion was a man nicknamed 'fingertips.' His signature move was to snap his opponents fingers while grappling. Most would surrender shortly thereafter.
The eye I think is Persian
I'd want to go witness the boxing match with the guy who won the ever throwing a punch he just kept slipping in dodging until his appointed gave up from exhaustion
Pankration just to finally see what it actually was, compared to the scant knowledge we have now.
Petition to add Russia to list of cheaters.
There was a pancrasion winner who was actually dead when declared the winner.
Great content. Top 2 history teacher I’ve ever experienced
There was a time when each city state would have its own units of measurements or the same unit name but different lengths and weights attached. Much argument I would imagine.
OverlySarcastic Productions has some really interesting history stuff
2:13 huh, why are the runners cut off? Oh, we are not supposed to see willies? Pathetic.
4:10 oh, now we are acting as if they all where not naked? This reeks of falsification of history. The greec ran naked.
Apperently the eye shield is from the Hoplite. I think they mixed up some historical periods in that video when it comes to shields.
React to alternate history hub video on the Kaiserreich
Naked Pankration must have been brutal. Only biting and gouging banned nothing against hitting in the down under
…i would have gone to see it
The hall of shame is real. The plaques were along the entrance into the track itself. The idea was one last final reminder to compete fairly or have your reputation ruined for all eternity.
Rule Britannia
Kind of weird how cheating in a game to pay tribute to Zeus is punished by flogging or exemption. While seeing the game as a married you get thrown of a cliff…
I mean, what’s the deal there? The logic?
You should really check out the Epic History channel. History of Russia (PARTS 1-5) would be a good start but generally speaking all videos / series (Alexander the Great, Naploeon…) are worth checking out.
14:38 they didnt want the married women to see all the naked dongs :D:D:D rofl
I wanna see race in acient greek Olympics.
Is it true that the Spartans were banned from competing in pankration? I've heard that the obsessive military training meant that they were more likely to unintentionally kill their opponent, because they would instinctively perform techniques that they'd been taught for use on the battlefield
A lot of old, unjust laws barring women from public event/life especially married ones came from the fact that without DNA testing only women know who the father of their children are-> The husbands wanted to limit the amount of men their wives came in contact with. This is why we must understand tradition, custom(why was it created, where did it came from) to then change it to something better more suited for our time not just destroying it
Pankration was definitely brutal. Arrichion of Phigalia won in 568 and 564 BCE, but in 564, he died of injuries sustained in the final within seconds of his opponent yielding.
Attendance by married women was seen as a sacrilege, so the punishment was seen as an appeasement.
