Actually media styled pirates is based off a very certain crew of pirates only. Before that they wore more leather style clothing or close to little clothing.

Okay, but at least SOME pirates had Devil Fruit powers, right? :3

In my part of the world, it's the Malacca strait pirates that are to be feared of...

(Yes, still(!!) to this day 💀)

These videos are by FAR the Best content PBS has released in a long time. Joel Cook and Max Miller both need their own TV slots! Anyone know if Joel has another channel somewhere I'm not seeing?

Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean is a great book. Helps to inform the roots of piracy and its links to the Spanish Inquisition. Also has some segments about pirates in the Mediterranean and Asia.

The sea peoples attack far more than Egypt. The Egyptians were just better at defending themselves against them.

Julius Cesar was once abducted by pirates. It didn't end well for the pirates.

[mad_max]

Yeah, pretty damn weird for anyone to celebrate raiders and slavers.

No new crap. The pirates like Black Beard and Calico Jack Rackham were the coolest. They dressed the coolest, had the coolest weapons, talked the coolest and were on the coolest continent, North America
