The Fall of Rome and The Modern Analogies

A little less history (especially in the second half), but if we cannot learn from history....

Constantine- Myth and Reality

I guess I am on an inadvertent Constantine kick. This documentary from History is a nice end cap to the last few views of Constantine.

The Lost 40 Days of Jesus

A decent mix of faith, history, and a little drama.


The Way of the Samurai and Ieyasu's Unification of Japan

Cannot say I know much of Samurai, at least in respect with other histories, but I can I know a little more after watching the below.

Constantine the Great and The Rise to Emperor

I like the style of video- part documentary/part drama.

Constantine was a formidable shaper of world history and much of what know probably would not have existed without his influence.... good or bad. The video below gels what I (and you hopefully) read about this man in to something more concrete.



And just between you and I, I am sure there are more than few inaccuracies in the video.

The Ancient Saviors of Britain

I am still amazed as to how much has been recorded, what is being found, the knowledge obtained, and the theories developed versus what little I still know.

 


The Unknown Mummy "E'

Ancient has been continually studied for over 100 years..... that does not mean there are not still mysteries coming from the land of Pharaoh

The Men of the Fifth World

Again some history is not always locked in the past, Some history is clearly present in the right here and now.


The Silk Road- A Step Through the Past

A fairly interesting look at the modern silk road. Hey, not all history is in the past.
