I like this guy:

I put it here for his discussion on how badly "ancient time" is for "us" who grew up in Christian/European societies where everything seems to "start" 2,000 years ago.

Then you study ancient history and realize there was a culture that had a THOUSAND FUCKING [Approved archaeological time designation. – Ed.] YEAR DYNASTY . . . four fucing thousand years ago.

"Wait . . . everyone before JESUS were . . . like . . . wearing Sackcloth and Ashes" – "sackcloth" is a hapax logemenon and we have no idea what it actually is, but it sort of "sounds like 'sackcloth,' maybe and [GET ON WITH IT! – Ed.] – "so the pyramids were built by Space Aliens!"

I feel it screws up actual professional scholars. Granted, I tend to "play in the biblical" . . . not . . . that there is anything wrong with it . . . but you get theological historians trying to desperately create a King Shlomo Solomon with copper foundries, shipping, castles, wifi, et cetera.

But wait . . . the Romans, what have they ever done for US? . . . no . . . wait . . . the Romans really WERE a "thing" before JESUS . . . and Caesar . . . and have you heard of the Greeks?

Pots are important.

Especially in the rain.

No, I have not been drinking.

Wibble.

You get a brief glimpse of the movie camera in the mirror @ 2:16

How the cameraman managed to get the 'inside the dance' shots, I don't understand.

Interesting to try to guess at any family relationships, based on the facial resemblances.

That electric guitar was a fairly new model in 1964.
