  Speaker 1: All right, what else to my patrons donating at the
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: meek level, You guys will inherit the earth If you're
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: expected money to come back in eighteen forty four, he'in
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: for a great disappointment. Oh and one more thing, Hey, Thomas,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: you're running this down right? No, Thomas, I specifically asked
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: you to ha. I sincerely doubt that. Well, Judas, are
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: you at least taking notes? No need? Big Jay got
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: a steel trap up here now after Applebly's in Jerusalem.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: He likes to walk in the garden. Oh my dad, Okay, everyone,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I want you all to listen to me. This is
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: super important. Whatever you do, no matter what you're told,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: do not go to war in my name. The First Crusade,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the first and a series of holy wars between the
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Christians and Muslims. Only these Christians and these Christians didn't
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: really like each other, and these Muslims and these Muslims
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: didn't really like each other, and these guys were the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: only ones that thought it was a holy war, and
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: all of them had already fought each other at different times.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: We're gonna need to back it up a little. After
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the Resurrection of Christ, Christianity spread westward across the Roman Empire,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: but slowly. Definitely not like the wildfire that Roman emperors
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: such as Nero claimed early Christians started. Sir reports indicate
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the fire was caused by overcrowding of buildings with flammable liquids. That, no,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: it was the Christians. Well, it is odd that the
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: area burning happens to be the area where you want
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: to build your new palace.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: It was Christians anyway, here's wonderwall two days.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: For nearly three hundred years, Rome persecuted Christians, outlawing the
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: religion and scapegoating its followers.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Under the real gods, Rome flourished, but as Christianity grows
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: are pax Romana has become a wax Romana. They'll tell
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: you throw away Mars, the god of war, Minerva, the
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: God of wisdom, Jupiter, the King of the gods, for
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: a man named Jesus, who, based on his miracles, is
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: what the god of catering.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: And it looked like Christianity might be doomed until the
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Battle of Milvian Bridge in three twelve. I don't know, guys,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Maccentius totally has us outnumbered. Guys, I got it. I
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: know how to win. Tell us Constantine, Well, I was
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: outside staring at the sun. Dude, Why were you staring
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: at the sun? What it's fun anyway? You know that
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Cairo's symbol for that jeebus rice god it appeared. I
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: think if we painted on our shields, he'll make sure
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: we totally slaughter our enemies. You know nothing of my work.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Constantine did win, paving the way for Christianity to become
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: legal and eventually the official religion of Rome. It also
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: gave Constantine control over both sides of the Roman Empire,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: but it was obvious which half he favored. Welcome to
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Constantine's Rome. In the eastern Roman Empire, you'll find thriving
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: trade of fishing, government, and the jewel of the empire,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the city of Constantinople. And in the west, i'm an
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: old seers and barbarians. And while Constantine might have further
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: fractured the Roman Empire by moving the capital to the east,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: he attempted to unify the Christian Church by calling the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Council of nicea great work, guys. You came up with
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: this cool Nicene creed, twenty different canons, figured out when
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Easter should be. Is there anything else we should discuss? Yes, Arius,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: how about that Jesus, being made by God, is not
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: himself eternal, Rather, he is subordinate to God, which therefore
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: makes an equally holy trinity impossible. Saint Nicholas, Oh, it's okay,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: it's okay. I only want to talk to him, you
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: sort of a bitch. While the Roman Empire remained split
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: and soon fell in the West, the Christian Church also
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: split into the pentarchy, consisting of five patriarchates, with the
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Roman pope ranked highest and the patriarch of Constantinople and
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the number two slot. While this was meant to unify
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: and organize the church, it increasingly led to power struggles
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: between the two on every issue.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Because I said so, and a successor to Saint Peter,
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: I am the final authority over all church matters.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: Dude, we're equals. The fact that you rank first is
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: just a primacy of honor. It's like having a world's
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: greatest boss. Coffee mug.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm not gonna let you decide. You leven your eucharist.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: You can't make up your mind on whether to make
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: icons or smash them. And you only have this job
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: because your emperor gave it to you.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: Oh oh, you want to talk about emperors. What the
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: hell is up with this holy Roman emperor thing you created? Newsflash,
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: there's already an emperor that's holy and Roman, and he's
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: been ruling from Constantinople for the last seven hundred years.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: And he says, we're hanging the toilet paper over.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Over my dead body. It's going under.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: Oh, going under like Western Rome did.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Guys. Guys, guys, I'm sure we can work this out.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I know how. Don't we just leave it on the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: bathroom counter? Oh my god, are we in college? Seriously?
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Shut up Antioch and following mutual excommunications in ten fifty four,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches formerly split in
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: what's called the Great Schism, But they weren't the only
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: schism of note to the Crusades, We're gonna need to
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: back it up again. In six', ten An arab merchant
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Named muhammad was meditating in a cave when the Archangel
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: gabriel blew his mind with the finale Of god's message to.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Humanity when he returned to the city Of mecca with
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: his very monotheistic, message his polybros were less than, understanding
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: so he fled to Nearby yathrib convinced them That allah
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: was streets, ahead and eventually returned To mecca with his
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: new squad and found the locals much more, accommodating And
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: islam was born and it spread. Quickly, yeah So rome has,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Fallen but now there's all these cute little kingdoms all,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: about and oh, look a new religion is sprung. Up
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: but In arabia, anyway there's these new little kingdoms like
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: The franks and The visigols and The. Ulstra oh my,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: god it touching. Me but If islam was speed running its,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: expansion it also speed ran its own. Schism see Before
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: muhammad definitively appointed a, successor he, died and then there
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: was debate on whether the role of caliph should go
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: to his Bestie Abu baker or his cousin and son in, Law,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: ali with it ultimately going To Abu, baker, kid we'll
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: get you next. Time when he, died it went To
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: umara Bin katap, kid we'll get you next. Time and
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: when he, died it went To Uthman niban Offen, Gid
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: we'll get you next. Time and when he, died it
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: finally went To Ali whoo who was stabbed to. Death
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: really come, on and what resulted was a schism Between
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Shiah muslims that thought that caliph had to be related
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: To muhammed And Suni muslims that thought the community could elect.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: One by the tenth, century The islamic world Saw Shia
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: muslims mostly in The, west With Sunni muslims controlling The,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: east and The christian world had Mostly catholics in The
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: west And orthodox christ in The. East it wasn't, perfect
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: but it was relatively. PEACEFUL i sure hope nothing comes
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: out of nowhere to mess it. Up, oh like a
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: bat out of the healthscape that is The Central Asian turkic,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: step The Selgic, turks Nomadic Sunni muslims plowed through the Abbased,

• 12:57
  Speaker 1: augustine was an early bishop who was so wise that
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: he could use The scripture to explain taking. Life he
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: had such a knowledge of The bible he could explain
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: When god wanted war and. Dying he could actually condone.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Death the concept of just war is a pathway to many,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: abilities some considered to be Un. Christian is it possible
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: to learn this? Power not if you're a Pussy. See
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Saint augustine developed the just war theory to reconcile it
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: with that whole thou shalt not kill, thing claiming that
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: if a war was to correct an injustice declared by
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: a legitimate, ruler was fought with the intention for peace
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: and was limited in its. Violence god was a okay with,
• 13:46

• 27:44
  Speaker 1: as thousands of crusaders approached the city Of nicea with
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: its thirty foot, walls a messenger was sent to its,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: ruler The sultanate Of rom Kilijars, lan who was away
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: and initially assessed the, situation, saying oh, ahbah these idiots

• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Herpes tell the garrison at AND i see it to
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: take care of. It i'm. Busy Kilijar's lan's attitude towards
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: the crusaders revealed the two most important reasons for their eventual. Success,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: one since the people's crusade was about as effective as
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: a monkey hump in a, football this new wave of
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: crusaders wasn't seen as an impending. Threat and, two in
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: ten ninety, seven The turks were more divided than donuts
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: in the teacher's. Lounge OH i can't eat a whole,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: One i'll only have one. Six you're the worst kind of.

• 28:39
  Speaker 1: turkishimirs and brothers Rid one Of aleppo And Dukaka damascus

• 28:45
  Speaker 1: had succeeded in killing his other, brothers and they were
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: both wary Of kerboga Of, mosul debatably the most power
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: hungry and Ruthless turk of them. All this led to
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: A seljic defense that was about as coordinated as a
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: sixth grade. Orchestra so While Kilijar's lamb was busy feuding
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: with The danishima did The crusaders laid siege In icea
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: with the different armies posted at three main. Gates and
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: then they tried everything to get in, catapults siege, towers,
• 29:18

• 29:25
  Speaker 1: turned off the. Lights what are, they my? Brother the
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: crusader's siege had gone on for a, month and yet
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: the city was no closer to, surrender even After Kilojar's
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: lamb returned and his forces were turned back by the
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: combined might Of Godfrey bouhamond And raymond's. Forces the city
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: would not give. Up, ugh how has this city not
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: been brought to its? Knees? Oh what are your men?
