Six minutes of Brady and Bryan talking about oil lamps and not a single genie joke? I miss Keith.
It rubs me the wrong way
1:57 it's a good one
It's somehow cute how someone thousands of years ago brought a little lamp with them and it ended up there on that table. A small but still fascinating connection to the past :)
Out of all your channels, Brady, this is the one I came to stick with. I really like it. Thanks mate.
So grateful for this Channel! Every time it’s really awesome and truly extraordinarily interesting. Thanks.
The depicted bull with Europa is actually Zeus. Zeus seduced Europa while being transformed into a bull. She fathered the king of Minos, where the legend of the Minotaur is from. Very nice mythology.
It's a common theme for Zeus to seduce and have offspring with different mortal women in all kinds of (weird) transformations. As a satyr, as a swan, as a dove, as an ant and even as a golden shower... And also in the form of the goddess Artemis and in the form of the husband of his desired woman. Nice mythology, indeed...

Not true.
The Germano-Roman museum in Cologne has a huge collection of oil lamps and in the far corner of that section, a collection of erotic oil lamps.
The Egyptian lamp reminds me of an English pendant ocarina.
Thanks Brady! This was more illuminating than I thought it would be. Stay safe!
😑
wow I was watching Resurrection: Ertugrul. I kept seeing beautiful lamps and wondered how they were made! How very nice to find a video uploaded just yesterday! Thanks for sharing
Amazing stuff, thanks Brady!
I imagine the history of these lamps is even more interesting than that of clay pipes, another historical disposable item.
I love Oil lamps and everything that remembers me the Ancient World stile of life
Alexandria was not founded in 700 BCE, it was founded in 331 BCE. There had been small settlements in the same spot probably at least since the time of Ramesses II but yeah, this lamp will certainly post-date the foundation of Alexandria.
This is true
i love you brady
Now thinking of a very narked off in Dorset shouting "Oh no, you've broken my Carthaginian lamp! I'm never going to be able to replace that!"
imagine dropping a box of these on the floor
I have the oil lamp that is identical to the lamp that you have. Mom was an antique dealer it came from Egypt
For me the Alexandrian lamp seems to depict something other than birds. More likely in my opinion is that it depeicts fish where the front relief is a cresting wave.
Duvali festival of lights uses oil lamps today
More Brian. Put a camera on him during his morning routine, or when someone steals his lunch.
This all came from India where oil lamp are a part of our the Hindu Buddhist and ancient Jain philosophy... the Greeks and Romans traded with India and probably got a hang of our lamps... lamps are given to a bride during the wedding when she starts a family.. Deepavali is a festival specifically celebrated with oil lamps as the main significance and in south india we have a lunar calendar and it has a month called karthgai where the amount of lamps we burn must be doubled apart from these lamps that we burn in front of the Hindu daity space called the Pooja room ( a room beholding idols of Hindu budist Jain worship). Wicks are made of organic cotton and various oils are used for various purposes... i remember my great grandmother lighting a neem oil lamp to make the insects go away during monsoon... south india has the the most ancient model of oil lamp which offer space for 5 wicks called the kuthu Velakku which signifies the 5 elements that constute the universe fire , water wind space and earth( minerals the constute the celestial bodies)...
Putting Bryan on the spot :D
Brady fuckin' knew that guys Turtle theory was dodgy.
I really hope this was recorded in 2019
It was actually! :)
🤣
I have a rare piece of Roman saddlebag, would you like to have it with some oaks and Roman pots?
Alexander the Great founded Alexandria in 331 BC
I have wanted this oil lamps please pleases where is this oil lamp make and how
The guy without the gloves looks a little nervous as the glove wearer is grabbing lamps.
What did they use for a wick?
Hair mate, some times fiberous plants and things I bet
They used strips of cloth for wicks at that time.
What happens if you rub it.
Awesome. Before this video, I also had no idea how an oil lamp worked or that you could use olive oil as lamp fuel.
A dove?? That's definitely a toucan - look at that beak!
I'm not saying it was aliens, but... it was aliens.
Will Sullivan Sacred ibis. Common in the Nile Valley.
What is the consensus about wearing gloves if you pick up ancient pottery?
I don't know that there is much of one. I've worked in many different museums and some want gloves handling any object, others are about particular types of gloves, others are a mixed bag of rules. It's always best to ask before you handle anything in a new venue.
Always need to consider the impact of gloves on grip. In some cases it might actually be more damaging over the long run to use gloves because of dropped objects.
Based on this video I'd say that, when 2 people hold lamps, one of them should be wearing gloves.
It's pretty common sense clearly so you don't transfer oils sweat dirt whatever from your hands onto what ever your handling can't believe you even had to ask
@@danielkerr4100 Are you f..king serious?
I know why you shouldn't wear gloves.... Duh!
As you can clearly see in this video, somebody isn't wearing gloves.
I asked what the consensus is about wearing gloves.
I did not ask why somebody wears gloves.
Anyone else thinking "Brady, don't be sitting so close!"
Was probably filmed ages ago
Super old leds
Well, well, the President of the Royal Society. Hang in there Brady and you'll be objectifying with the Queen! I loved this one, it hits all my Objectivity buttons.
'Could have been by White Jebus'. If only Jebus was real...
What? No genie? Darn...
so much emphasis on Jerusalem/IsraEl when there were far larger civilizations areound that period.
انا اوريد هدا رجل عندي مصابيح
I don´t think it´s Jewish, because the Jewish lamps used no decorations and were different in shape, that ones I saw with this shape are Islamic.
Our host seems a bit cavalier with his handling of these priceless lamps
They're really cool, not priceless, I have three.
Rub it
Rubish
Palestine, not Israel.
Dont seriously tell me this channel is going to side against international law.
Huh?
Personally, I think that in this context, the two are interchangeable, as nobody is talking politics in the video itself.
with all sympathy for the Palestinian people and their difficult situation: they were talking about 1000-700 BC
You're right, at the time they were talking about Israel didn't exist yet. Israel is currently a state though, even though not all of its territories are recognized under international law.
The land is called Palestine.
One of the lamps was Islamic.
