This guy is so good it almost beggars belief. Not even an 'um' or an 'uh' in the delivery. All facts at his fingertips. All rhetorical traps sidestepped. A victorious ray of light through great clouds of squid ink. I've never seen anything like it in my life. If it is a piece of cleverness it's the cleverest I've seen. The good news is, it probably isn't. So I just followed him here on Twitter: @frankwrighter

@NickDixon All over the shop. No thank you

Feel like this guy has waited his whole life to say this. Incredibly eloquent and accurate appraisal of the failure of Western elites.

I remember going to Istanbul when I was 14 thinking that the Muslim Turks built this amazing infrastructure. Little did I know that it was the Christians who did this and the Muslims took over and claim the credit.

@greekcitytimes Lord Elgin as the British ambassador would not have looted the treasures without some level of authority be it from London or Istanbul.

@FletaP3 @Dr_TheHistories He was a mass murderer

Captain Cook loaded 7,860 pounds of sauerkraut onto the HMS Endeavour in 1768. His crew refused to eat it, so he served it exclusively to the officers and made sure they ate it visibly in front of the crew every single day until the sailors decided they wanted some too. Not one man died of scurvy on the entire three-year voyage. Cook circumnavigated the world on his first voyage without losing a single man to scurvy and the Royal Society of London awarded him the Copley Medal on his return, one of the most prestigious scientific honours in Britain, specifically for his methods of preserving the health of his crew. The achievement was genuinely extraordinary. Scurvy had been killing sailors on long voyages for centuries, with some estimates suggesting it killed more sailors than enemy action, storms and all other causes of death combined. Cook solved it with fermented cabbage and a very specific understanding of human psychology. A typical daily menu aboard the Endeavour consisted of breakfast with boiled wheat and sugar, a midday dinner of salted beef stew and vegetables, and an evening meal of soup with ship's biscuits so hard they had to be broken up with a marlin spike. The ship carried approximately 5,500 litres of beer, 7,300 litres of spirits, 16 tonnes of bread, 2 tonnes of salted beef and over 3 tonnes of sauerkraut. The sailors ate approximately 5,000 calories a day to sustain the physical demands of running an 18th century sailing ship. Cook also carried portable broth made from cattle offal, forty bushels of malt, vinegar, mustard and concentrated citrus juice as additional anti-scurvy measures. He was running what was effectively the first controlled nutritional experiment in naval history across three years and 40,000 miles of ocean. The sauerkraut psychology is the detail that stay with me in this story. Cook noticed that Dutch sailors suffered far less from scurvy than their British counterparts and observed that they carried barrels of sauerkraut. He ordered his ships to do the same but his British sailors refused the unfamiliar foreign food entirely. His solution was to serve it only to the officers while making sure they ate it visibly in front of the crew. Within weeks the sailors were demanding their share, and Cook understood that sailors suspicious of an unfamiliar food would eat it the moment they believed someone of higher status was being given something they were not. © Eats History #drthehistories

@LAktwndOzCaWxNd @archeohistories Crap. I suggest you read the material of the day and court hearings.

Japanese soldiers using members of the British Indian Army from the Sikh Regiment as target practice. Photographed in February 1942.... Discovered by the Allies in 1945.. During World War II, tens of thousands of soldiers from British India were captured by Japanese forces after the fall of Singapore in February 1942, one of the largest military surrenders in British history. Among the prisoners were troops from Sikh, Punjabi, Gurkha, and other Indian regiments serving under the British Empire. Japanese treatment of Allied prisoners in Southeast Asia was notoriously brutal. POWs were frequently subjected to starvation, forced labor, disease, torture, and executions in camps across Burma, Thailand, Malaya, and the Dutch East Indies. Historians estimate that more than 27% of Allied prisoners held by Japan died in captivity, compared to roughly 4% of Allied POWs held by Germany and Italy. The image later became part of the evidence documenting Japanese wartime atrocities discovered after Allied victories in 1945. More than 2.5 million men served in the British Indian Army during World War II, making it the largest volunteer army in history at the time. © Historical Photos #archaeohistories

@_khkmagduru_ The last row are all multiples of 9 and the odd one out is 73. So the error is in that row or simply 68

@WindyCityGreek Also mention that Lord Elgin was the British ambassador to the Ottoman empire. He stole the marbles and "Athen's daughter" in the capacity and authority as representative of Britain. They must be returned.

Lord Elgin purposefully hacked apart & stole Marbles 4 his own gain. But joke was on him. His ship sank OTW 2England. He sold them 2 BritishMuseum 2 pay his mounting debts; received fraction of the worth He ineffect destroyed his own life w his obsession wMarbles, dying peniless.

@nomadic2026 @athenaeumbc My favourites are the existential works of Zorba and The Outsider.

@FletaP3 @athenaeumbc My favourite book. I hope more young men read it.

What book is so good, you've read it more than 2 times?

@RealHellenist I reckon that the Minoans also went as far as Cornwall for their copper

@RealHellenist I like the red touch in Iberia.

The Hellenic World in 550 BC, before the rise of Alexander the Great.

@impression_ists Beautiful and we love our Maggies in Australia

Monet painted The Magpie when he was 28. No one knew him. He had just become a father and was living in extreme poverty. ​He presented it at the Paris Salon and they laughed at him. They told him it was unfinished.

@Bitcoin09139658 @Dr_TheHistories big fucking deal. Smartarses everywhere. The fact is that Cook used a Kendal K1 and not a Harrison. Suck on that

@FletaP3 @Dr_TheHistories Die Kendall war aber ein Harrison nachbau.

Immigrants want a France without white people, they say this bluntly: "We must stop mixing in France. Black men must mix with black women, and Arabs must mix with Arab women. Blacks and Arabs must have as many children as possible so that in France there are only blacks and Arabs."

@mariakalantze Somehow they will tax our homes or even tax each bedroom. They need something devious to fund their revolution. In 1918 the bolsheviks stole people's money and gold to fund the revolution. A summary of a Great Book here jstor.org/stable/j.ctt1n…
