1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,560 So this is a a Roman Amphitheatre and Antola, or 2 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,520 actually, no. Nearly every Roman theater in 3 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:15,400 Antola was pulled apart for its stone aspendos survived because 4 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,160 someone moved in. This is in southern Turkey, 5 00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:23,120 built under Marcus Aurelius by two brothers of the city, Curtis 6 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:29,320 Crispinus and Curtis Aspicatus. The architect was a local man, 7 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,760 Xenon. The Xenon, the inscription still 8 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:40,120 names him. 96 meters across, 41 rows, seats 58 sockets cut into 9 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,760 the stone for the poles of the awning that shaded the crowd. 10 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,760 Then the sea jukes came. They did not quarry it. 11 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,200 They turn the stage building into a palace. 12 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:58,680 Use the theater as a Cara vessel and a summer residence and added 13 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,080 a tower and buttress and kept the walls in repair for 14 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,920 centuries. Is still standing because it 15 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,920 never stopped being used. Opera is staged in it every 16 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:08,360 summer. It's. 17 00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:12,480 So pretty, that building. Yeah, because most of them are 18 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,320 all like destroyed, but this one because they turned it into a 19 00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:20,560 residence and live there that is pretty much intact. 20 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,560 How do they live there? It's pretty smart how they built 21 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,280 up the hill like that it. Was right here. 22 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,120 Those are living borders and. Reinforce it. 23 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,440 It's huge. Bread and Circuses. 24 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,000 It's an interesting historical little factoid, so you'll see 25 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,880 this little forget what ship it is, but exactly 1 year before 26 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,040 Japan surrendered on the battleship in Missouri, Mighty 27 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:54,720 MO on the same date a literally a year before September. 28 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,880 So I guess it was September 2nd, 1944. 29 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,760 A year before the Japanese surrendered, a 20 year Old Navy 30 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,880 pilot was shot down near a Japanese island and plucked from 31 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,280 the sea by a submarine. He was one of the very few who 32 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,240 survived that day and he would one day become President of the 33 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,000 United States. His name was George Herbert 34 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,240 Walker Bush. That was Bush senior. 35 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,720 He was president after Ronald Reagan. 36 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,480 He was Ronald Reagan's vice president. 37 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,280 And he was president during the first Gulf War. 38 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,520 If they hadn't have found him, there's there he is in the water 39 00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:31,840 and I think it's a little, little life raft. 40 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,960 If they hadn't have found him, he would have never been 41 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,480 president. We would have never had W George 42 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:46,320 W Bush as president. So he's very lucky. 43 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:52,520 There he is. How crazy is that? 44 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,400 Yeah, it's pretty amazing. Just a little coincidence like 45 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:57,840 that, how much changes that could? 46 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,560 Happen so. It should be lost at sea like 47 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,880 that, so easy to not be found. Yep, because a lot of pilots you 48 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,360 know were in his. His position never got rescued. 49 00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:11,680 So this is a picture of Jack Gilbert Graham. 50 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,680 He blew up a plane with his mother on board in order to 51 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,640 collect her life insurance policy. 52 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,920 He also killed the other 43 people on the plane at the same 53 00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:24,280 time. Here he is in his cell in 1956. 54 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,800 Look at the big eyes. If you remember the kid that did 55 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,720 the Sandy Hook shooting, it's like all those guys, they're 56 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,360 just like, they look fucking crazy. 57 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,920 He was convicted on May 5th, 1956 and executed January 11th, 58 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:55,530 1957. He was executed in the gas 59 00:03:55,530 --> 00:03:57,490 chamber. In Colorado. 60 00:03:58,970 --> 00:04:01,410 His final words. As far as feeling remorse for 61 00:04:01,410 --> 00:04:03,810 those people, I don't. I can't help it. 62 00:04:03,810 --> 00:04:06,170 Everybody pays their way and takes their chances. 63 00:04:06,530 --> 00:04:10,250 That's just the way it goes. So flippant about it. 64 00:04:10,410 --> 00:04:14,090 He didn't give a fuck. So did he get the insurance? 65 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,040 Obviously not, You got the gas chamber. 66 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,240 This was kind of a neat clip talking about different 67 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,560 conquering generals throughout history. 68 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,880 The greatest military general in history is someone you've never 69 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:37,000 heard of. Genghis Khan conquered 4.9 70 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,800 million square miles. Alexander the Great conquered 71 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,360 2.1 million. Napoleon conquered 720,000. 72 00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:53,200 Subertai conquered 6.6 million square miles more than all of 73 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,120 them. Born a blacksmith's son, 74 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,480 Subertai rose to command Mongol armies across 2 continents. 75 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,400 He won 65 battles and never lost a single one. 76 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,120 Well, you know Genghis Khan's name. 77 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,000 Subertai did most of the actual conquering. 78 00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:15,880 He commanded campaigns from Korea to Hungary, a distance of 79 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:21,240 6000 miles. No general before or since has 80 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:28,400 operated across such distances. In 1241 he was 65 years old and 81 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,320 so obese he had to be carried on a cart. 82 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,320 But his mind was sharper than ever. 83 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,360 In one week he defeated the Hungarian army, the Polish army 84 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,520 and German reinforcements. 3 separate European armies 85 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,000 hundreds of miles apart in coordinated battles. 86 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,720 Medieval Europe had never seen anything like it. 87 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,200 Super Thai invented tactics still taught in military 88 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,760 academies today. He pioneered combined arms 89 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:06,880 warfare, strategic deception and winter campaigns. 65 victories, 90 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:13,800 0 defeats, 6.6 million square miles conquered. 91 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,440 The greatest general you've never heard of. 92 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:25,920 Super Thai remembered the name. So he was Genghis Khan's 93 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,400 general. I guess he was the guy that made 94 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,840 the victories happen. There was one of the one of the 95 00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:33,920 Sun zoo. I wonder if it. 96 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,880 If that led to the Sun Zoo's Art of War, if you know both 97 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:44,000 yourself and your enemy, you can win 100 battles without a single 98 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,720 loss. I wonder if that's where that 99 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:46,320 came from.
