The geography controversy for Columbus was the size of the earth, not it's shape. Columbus thought Earth was much smaller in circumference than it was. Greeks had figured out that Earth was a sphere about 2000 years before Columbus. The circumference of Earth was even figured out pretty accurately by a Greek named Eratosthenes in the 3rd century BCE.

My favorite medieval job title has got to be "knocker-upper." This was long before watches, or even clocks, but people still had to be at work at on time. Enter the knocker-upper. The tools of this person's trade were a couple of sticks, which they used to knock on windows to wake folks up. This sounded like a fun job to me, until it dawned on me (pun intended) that a sleepy grouch might open a window and empty the chamber pot on me. You might still hear an expression in England that goes something like this: "He knocked me up yesterday before breakfast." Sorry, but "he woke me up" just doesn't have that ring of Englishness about it.

Actually the theory of a flat earth had been long disproven before Columbus’ expedition.

TIL having worked a summer as a local bouncer, I have always thought it meant THE ACT OF THROWING A PERSON OUT of an them hitting the ground they BOUNCED!! 😊 llolol at myself but it seemed low brow logical, hah😂

Christopher Columbus was looking for trade routes, not to disaprove any theory. He was actually behind the Chinese. Zheng He traveled alot in his time. Both were great explorers.

I’ve heard bards were well regarded and treated very well. I would think that was a great profession back in the day... If they were good at their craft, at least.

8:06 ... thats us :) if anyone wants to get into full contact, armored fighting, lemme know 👍

[cagrenita]

Wasnt it a huge problem for knights that they had maggots and skinparasites on their body, because they wore their armor often for extended amounts of time?

[HorsesArePeople]

The fact you propagate the Columbus myth in a video that's supposed to be historically factual is wild

[niklashall]

Oh and definitely more on major battles
