Just a daydream and a thought... As you get older, regrets of what one could have achieved if travelled back a decade in time pile up. Whether it be an idea of sorts or investment possibilities or whatever. Now, most of us, if sent back a few hundred of years, probably wouldn't be able to "push" much. Heck, we might be lynched for bad religious education. Without proper tools and materials, I can imagine I would only be able to introduce some new dishes or entertaining ideas. I wonder if even a gunsmith from the future would be able to advance military much (without superb knowledge in chemistry, metallurgies etc.). The idea of acquiring the materials is still a problem. Language is a barrier too, since one can go back that much before facing a dialect not heard anymore. Medicine is the only area I can see advancing greatly if one is not called a witch doctor.

Jon Øigarden who plays Jarl Varg, is in my opinion the best of Norway's male actors. Although not as famous as Harr or Hennie, he is better in terms of range and ability.
He is definitely my favorite in the show. His evilness is portrayed so snake-like, in his verbal delivery and gestures in general that the man just looks like a sith from Star wars.
When the romans showed up with their fortifications and torsion engines some barbarian tribes straight up surrendered. Because they had no idea how the hell a torsion engine or a ballista even work. That must have felt cutting edge to people back then.
@@DrCruel Varus didn't really have a chance. A trusted subordinate lied to him, scouting didn't reveal the lie, and the only known doubter was a recently turned leader of a rival tribe to the trusted subordinate. Stringing out on a road is just what an army does, roads being, you know, linear. Varus' career to that point had shown he was a very good commander, and most definitely knew he was doing. Even Julius Caesar would have taken heavy losses before he could rally, if he could rally. Whether he would have escaped 200 kilometers to safe territory is doubtful. Blaming the man for the trap is just hindsight.
So fun fact, we now know how birds navigate. They can see and sense the Earth's magnetic pole. Their beaks have magnetite in them; sort of like a transponder. And their eyes have a special protein called Cry4 that allows them to see magnetic fields. They basically have built in GPS. Humans have a little bit of magnetite in our nasal cartilage as well.

If there was a catastrophic event, and mankind had to start all over again we’d never be able to get back to this level of technology. Not because we’re so advanced. But because we’ve mined up almost all of the surface level resources. There basically are no more mines lying around full of valuable resources.
@@LandersWorkshop I doubt we’d be able to harvest a substantial amount without the tech to do so. Like I know how to harvest gold from broken electronics, but I couldn’t do it without the tech to do so.
One correction that changes your narrative a bit. We have not mined up almost all of the surface level resources, what we have done is mined up almost all of the surface level resources that are economically viable to mine with the current pricing. This means that once scarcity is high enough or the critical need becomes dire enough there are lots of places to mine and exploit even if the yield will be lower than say in Roman times when you could just start shoveling on a mountain until it becomes a large hole. Like the Riotinto area of Spain has been mined for at least around 2400 years since the Romans started industrial mining. There is not so much a lack of resources as there is a lack of willingness to pay the price of extraction yet.

well... the If you cover the Right eye of a robin (the bird, not batmans buddy) it can`t navigate even tho it can still see with its left eye. but if you cover the left eye it can navigate and see aswell, that atleast suggests that birds can "see" magnetic fields just as we see the frequencies of electromagnetic radiation but wee see just a portion of it. You dont see infra red, ultra violet, gamma rays, radar and so on even if all other things you do see are from the same light spectrum because you cant "read" all of it. So you can see the range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation but you have trouble believing that birds can see magnetic fields. just saying that you are probably a bit stupid and should read more
