Oversimplified’s comedy has become so unique over the years. It’s jarring to look back on the ww1 video and see how different the style was.

[v.i.ct.r]

48:39
If you want to see drews small cameo

[reasten]

As a tunisian, the only things we are taught about TUNISIAN history are these wars. Really happy that we got an oversimplified video and a drew reaction about it

[Andrew-vwvb]

I'm extremely impressed how he put this together considering ancient history is such a weird crap shoot.

[Iknowthismeme]

Small fun fact: Messana is now called Messina and the only bridge ever built between Sicily and Italy was a boat bridge built by the Romans.

[weezee]

48:43 Look babe! Drew Durnil notices that he is on TV!

[jaykaufman]

The "double siege" (as Drew calls it) was peculiarly Roman thing: Agrigentum (262) and the siege of Alesia (52 BC) versus Vercingetorix's Gauls, with Julius Caesar commanding the Romans. It probably has to do with the Roman propensity for civil and military engineering. Their instinct was, when in doubt, build walls, moats, aqueducts, sewers, roads, heated floors, lead pipes ... If you're besieging a town, wall it in. If a relief force arrives to break your siege, build another wall, but facing outwards. Romans being Romans.

Keep in a mind 40, 000, 000$ is the worth of ONE talent of silver.
The entire reparations were the equivalent of 128, 000, 000, 000$.
Which to be fair sounds way more realistic for a war between two of the super-powers of the known world.

[Byzantiumball]

oversimplified videos aren’t even Christmas presents anymore

*they’re a present that you get every century*

[theoverseer]

He is straight up self aware to the point of making fun of his own sponsorships, what a legend

[Kozkayn]

1:10 Actually it isn't just Turkey, it's the entire origin of the Ashina tribe, the ruling dynasty of the First Turkic Khaganate (aka the Göktürks).
The story goes like this
"One day a she-wolf saved a young boy from his burning village. She cared for the boy and nurtured him back to health. Then the boy impregnated the she-wolf, had half-wolf half-human children and one of them was a god for some reason and he started the Ashina tribe"

[bram]

Fun fact: The Roman’s feared Neptune (Poseidon) and many of them refused to get on a boat after the first punic war.

[DotReal]

Drew is a legend now that he’s been in an oversimplified video

[jacksonlee]

You know that you've done something right in this community when you end up in an Oversimplified video that was 9 Months in the making!

[tusidex]

There was no Persian Empire anymore. This was after the death of Alexander. So you had for example Macedonia and Ptolemaic Egypt which looked at this conflict with great interest.

Well Drew it turns out the Queen wasn’t immortal after all. Would you like to say a few words?

[sjeason]

15:20 Mount Vesuvius is in the bay of Naples. The volcano on Sicily is Mount Etna. So no they won’t talk about Vesuvius
