  1. What started the Second Diadoch War sounds like the plot of the movie "Gladiator": instead of the leader Antipator leaving the crown to his son Cassander, he left it to his favorite General. (12:10). Fun times result. Maybe Ridley Scott got the idea for the plot from this.

  2. Damn, from the basement again. Done, the looking up is first level zoom, which would be addressed immediately. That is a distraction and interrupts the discussion, or in this case presentation. Tried again, but can't.

  3. I so appreciate the American narrator. The British speakers are nearly impossible to understand when describing American history. I've gotten to just skip past them. They speak so quickly that I spend more time re-running what they say than understanding what they are trying to communicate.

  4. Ptolemy personally sponsored the great mathematician Euclid. He found Euclid's seminal work, the Elements, too difficult to study, so he asked if there were an easier way to master it. According to Proclus, Euclid famously quipped: "Sire, there is no Royal Road to geometry."

  5. Jesus is the Son of G-d. He died on a cross and rose from the dead after three days

    He is sitting at the right hand of G-d

    Jesus ascended from heaven and took on the form of a human even though He is G-d. He endured the punishment deserved for all of our sins.

    Whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
