The pursuit of true historical knowledge is a complex endeavor that requires rigorous methodology, critical thinking, and an understanding that absolute truth may remain elusive. However, historians and researchers can approach historical truth through careful application of established methods and principles.

At the foundation of historical research lies the careful examination of primary sources – documents, artifacts, and records created during the time period under study. These sources must be authenticated through various means, including carbon dating, handwriting analysis, and contextual verification. However, even primary sources can be biased or incomplete, reflecting the perspectives and limitations of their creators. Researchers must therefore cross-reference multiple primary sources while considering the motivations and circumstances of their creation.

Archaeological findings provide crucial physical evidence that can support or challenge written historical accounts. Material culture – from everyday objects to monumental architecture – offers insights into how people actually lived, rather than just how they were described in texts. The scientific analysis of archaeological remains, including modern techniques like DNA analysis and ground-penetrating radar, continues to revolutionize our understanding of historical narratives.

True historical understanding requires integration of multiple disciplines. Anthropology helps us understand cultural contexts, linguistics aids in interpreting ancient texts, geography explains settlement patterns and trade routes, and climatology reveals how environmental factors influenced historical events. Each discipline contributes unique methodological tools and perspectives that help construct a more complete historical picture.

Historical events and figures must be understood within their contemporary context rather than judged by modern standards. This requires deep knowledge of the period's social structures, belief systems, economic conditions, and technological capabilities. Researchers must guard against presentism – the tendency to interpret past events through present-day values and concepts.

All historical accounts contain some degree of bias, including modern interpretations. Researchers must acknowledge their own biases and actively seek out diverse perspectives, particularly those of marginalized groups whose voices may have been suppressed in traditional historical narratives. This includes examining histories written by conquered peoples, women, minorities, and other groups often excluded from official records.

While often overlooked by traditional historiography, oral histories provide valuable insights into how events were experienced and remembered by communities. These narratives must be evaluated carefully, understanding how memory and oral tradition can change over time while still preserving important historical truths. Modern historians increasingly recognize the value of oral histories in complementing written records.

Historical conclusions must withstand rigorous academic scrutiny. This involves peer review, debate within the scholarly community, and ongoing revision as new evidence emerges. Historians should be prepared to modify or abandon their theories when confronted with contradictory evidence, maintaining intellectual honesty throughout the research process.

Contemporary historians benefit from digital tools that enable analysis of vast amounts of historical data. Text mining, digital mapping, and statistical analysis can reveal patterns and connections that might otherwise remain hidden. However, these tools should complement rather than replace traditional historical methods.

True history requires acknowledging what we cannot know with certainty. Some historical questions may remain unanswered due to lack of evidence or the impossibility of fully reconstructing past events. Good historical research acknowledges these limitations while continuing to seek new methods and sources that might fill these gaps.

This interpretation must be both bold enough to draw meaningful conclusions and humble enough to acknowledge its provisional nature.

For those who reached minute 29 Unfortunately a few sections from his video which had music triggered a copyright claim (NOT BY HIM he didn’t do it, the SYSTEM did) and they had to be trimmed after the video was made public, to restore the monetization. Monetization is now restored but those section are gone. Thanks for watching that far into the video.

Metatron criticizes the right: He’s a communist tankie

Metatron critiques the left: He’s an ultra right Facist

Funny how this is.

I've been watching your channel for a little bit now and I got to admit, when it comes to Roman history I think I've learned the most from you. I really appreciate you keeping Roman history alive bc it means a lot to me.

[Zimon_Sombie]

As a half Slav and half Irish bastard, I can confirm that I'm not white... I'm drunk!

[Kurainuz]

As a spaniard i have to say that "moro" is used even today to refer to arab looking people (sometimes as a slur) but not to south saharian people or black people, also most of our historical books say that they were arab looking but had some black mercenaries and slaves and in historic representations and museums marocans and moors are mainly represented as arabs.

I have 2 degrees, one of which is in anthropology. I was in college a total of 7 years, so I do have a bit of factual knowledge. Your methods of research and then focusing on facts, even when not politically correct, are a breath of fresh and true scholarly air. Thank you Metatron for your commitment to facts, no matter the blowback.

[LuciusVulpes]

This is why I love this channel. 0% ideology. 0% agendas. 110% objective facts.

The truth the Romans weren’t real it was just Meta and his clones larping for over a thousand years.

bad empanada made another video about you as well, within 10 hours after you uploaded your response. This guy is obessed

[mbalfour]

I am so glad to see a healthy and respectful dialogue either way. I really really hope this ignites a beautiful and compassionate back and forth discussion on facts and opinions.

[sinor]

I've rarely heard black people even being associated with the Moors. I always think of Islam not black

[daywither]

Translating in a way that preserves the spirit of the original words can be very tricky. I just read through Tolkien's famous lecture on Béowulf, and translation is one of the issues he tackles: for example, the word "feond". This word later became "fiend" and means "enemy", and was used for the devil, but when it's used in Béowulf it does not necessarily mean the devil, even when it specifies "feond on helle", hellish fiend. And analyzing the proper meaning requires full context of the writing, comparison to other works, linguistic knowledge, and lots of other research.
Oh, and I might add, the reason for why Tolkien talked about this was to show Grendel is not spoken of as a christian devil, that he is a nordic styled monster. Anyway, all of this is just tangentially related to the topic, but why not share it.

I’m North African and a shade darker than Metatron and have green eyes lol. My genetics profile is 80% Berber 13% Arab 3% Nigerian 3% Italian and 1% Russian. The majority of North Africans are within one shade (darker or lighter) of my profile. There are “black” North Africans but they are not a majority or even half of North Africans. By North African I mean the countries on the southern Mediterranean who were the “Moors”. That said Arabs/Moors often used black soldiers, so much of the Moorish army was likely darker than the Moorish population at large.

[CountAdolfo]

I am third generation American.
Italian descent.
When my great grandparents got here, Metatron...
they were NOT considered "white".
You have a very solid point, there.

As a Portuguese, I take umbridge with his anglophonic approach to the use of the word Moors.
Portugal and Spain were the last European countries to directly deal with the Muslim invadors from North Africa. When the Brits talked about Moors in later centuries, they were borrowing the term from those countries and changing them.
Under the Luso-Spaniard definition of what the Moors were, they were NOT black. Nor brown. Nor any specific colour. Moors referred to the Muslim invaders that came from the Almohad Caliphate in North Africa (on what today is Morroco, Mauritania and Algeria) which was a Berber empire. And as far as historical depictions of the Berbers go, they weren't black and still aren't black (although it's obvious extremely likely that black people were among them, specially as slaves).
"Black Moors" was an English invention that expanded the concept of the Luso-Spaniard words. So no, the Moors weren't black. Sorry.

[realnova]

In most south european people, "moor" it's still connected to the idea of arab looking people, how in the world would that have come to today if they were black? In italian moor even means "black haired".

[firun]

In German, "Mohr" was used to refer to a black person, which is an old timey, respectful way to refer to black people, and there's "Maure", which refers to the muslim people of the Maghreb and Spain. I think that English conflates both into a single word, and that may be the root of the problem of this discussion.

You should make a video with him discussing your positions on these things. Collaboration and discussion is always the most educational
