  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GZJa0VRFOo&amp;t=438">7:18</a> elephants are the textbook example of grieving in the animal kingdom <br>Elephants will ritualistically visit the skeletons of dead members of their herd they are smart enough and have a good enough sense of smell to know exactly what bone belonged to which elephant

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GZJa0VRFOo&amp;t=1910">31:50</a> even the most conservative estimates for the Gallic wars put the casualties at about 400k people dead and that&apos;s just victims of war not counting enslaved Gauls<br>this makes it the largest genocide in recorded history at that time and it basically wiped the celts off the map after centuries of them being the main ethnic group in iron age Europe

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GZJa0VRFOo&amp;t=510">8:30</a> linguistic evidence seems to point towards the Scythians being an iranic people so very distantly related to Persians <br>Archaeology Also keeps proving my boy Herodotus correct <br>They found bags made of human skin in Scythian burials which Herodotus did mention how they&apos;d recycle the bodies of fallen enemies into all sorts of accessories

  I&apos;ve begun to consider Pliny&apos;s works as a kind of Gonzo Journalism.<br>He just can&apos;t help but put his own personality and experiences and political opinions into what is supposed to be a neutral academic text.<br>Basically Hunter S Thompson before Hunter S Thompson

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GZJa0VRFOo&amp;t=1428">23:48</a> &nbsp;The soothsayers said that the girl born &nbsp;with her teeth was a omen of the city being destroyed.<br>And the families reaction was to send her to this other city so that gets destroyed and not the place we live.
