How Far Did Rome Explore?

As I explained on X, the Greeks and Romans were not really interested in exploration for its own sake. Educated Romans believed that monsters lived on the fringes of the known world. Pliny the Elder agreed with Herodotus on this point. The Romans made it to Iceland (Ultima Thule) in the north, Ireland in the west, the Horn of Africa in the south and a Roman embassy made it to China in the east.

Note: Europeans discovered mythical lands like Hy-Brazil and Terra Australis centuries later. The Norse discovered the Azores before the Romans.

  1. HW, I support you putting up some history.

    You should watch your definitive statements.

    The GREEKS gave us the SCIENTIFIC PROCESS.
    It does not just apply correcting math and
    science, but arguments, correcting each other,
    etc

    THE GREEKS DISCOVERED AND NAMED BRITAIN
    PYTHIAS THE EXPLORER

    The entire planet and terms are Greek.

    Including your Justice System.

    Greek Goddesses, Freedom and Justice,
    many people name their children after
    them and forgot where the names came from.
    Like Eunice, or Irene, …
    CUSTOM AND TRADITION are Greek Goddesses.

    People here should try reading some history.

    [ high historian on European history,
    Viking, IndoEuropean, Englan, Celts,
    look him up, you name it,
    does Archaeological Analysis, not just
    using other peoples work to write 200page
    books like an Masters or PHD.]

    I am available to answer any question.
    With sources.
    Again, try wiki and even amazon, look up the books.

  3. Supposedly, there’s a bay in Brazil with Roman amphora all over the bottom.
    Could Romans have been in Brazil in ancient times ? I think a trading or war galley could easily cross the Atlantic, given fair weather. The winds off North Africa carry ships to Brazil.
    Getting back, not so easy.

      • Thor Heyerdahl built RaII and crossed the Atlantic in 2 months. That’s a 6000 year old riverboat design, for freshwater. Certainly Roman, Greek or Phoenician galleys could do it.

        I think ancient peoples were much more travelled than modern scholars will admit.

  4. You should stop using these lame AI videos, they’re unwatchable. The Romans sent people pretty far into the interior of Africa. The evidence for the Vikings in the Azores is pretty weak if you ask me: couldn’t the evidence be explained by Irish monks like St. Brendan? After all, I think if the Azores had been discovered some sort of account would have been written of it. If the population that settled there died out, it would make sense if it were monks.

  5. This new kick youre on reads like a subtle anti-Italian thing. So we’re back to hating guineas and wops now, despite the country being named after one.

    • Again, keep in mind populations aren’t static. They change with time, the people who built Harlem are not the people currently living there. That happened in less than a century. Just imagine what happens over a millennia.

  6. Flippin Nick Fuentes. I literally said probably last year that he would shift to “Civilizational.” He probably got that from me years ago. Perhaps not, I can’t remember what his answer was to me anymore when I brought up the civilizational question whether he already was based in it or not. What I do remember distinctly and which caught him off guard was that I replied the founding charter of NATO was and is civilizational.

    He is correct, of course to a degree. There probably is a lot more Greek and Roman DNA and certainly a huge amount culturally and linguistically in the Western Europeans and to a lesser degree the Eastern Europeans. But, typical with Fuentes he is front loading a strictly Catholic, Italian and Greek origination when in fact the Celtic and German and especially for North Western Europeans, the Protestant was far more salient.

    He is right of course about how the Moslems and Jews view themselves. It is more civilizational than ethnic or national or racial. The Moslems are forced to read the Koran in Arabic and any Moslem he studies the Koran without Arabic is kaffir. Jews have all sorts of races and ethnicities in it. There are literal Black Jews. There is also a distinct very Oriental group of Jews, not Chinese but Hindu-Indian in origin. Whereas the Moslems have mandatory Arabic, the Jews are more open to studying Torah in the vernacular but even then, if you do it in Hebrew you are better.

    The Moslems have Mecca and are obligated to visit it at least once in the lifetime preferably every year. The Jews had Jerusalem and while the supremacy of the Temple is not longer salient in the material world, all thoughts are to in the emotional sense. So, Jerusalem takes the place of Mecca.

    There is even a non governmental organization of Moslem powers, strictly country based, called the Organization of Islamic Countries. Its like a UN for Moslems and has, secretariates, bureaucracies, representatives, lobbyists and money throughout the world. They constantly bang on the doors of your Congressman as much as AIPAC.

    But there is no Christendom. The closest thing that approximates it is NATO. Its literally in its charter that it is to operate as a super cultural and religious exchange and not just a military alliance. The stupid heads in the neo-isolationist right have consistently undermines any conservative right-wing attempt to exploit that network though.

    So, undoubtedly this is where Fuentes is going. He’s found the secret sauce. As a Papist wants the Papists to be in charge of NATO or some sort of successor to it for Christendom. He wants the Pope to be the religious leader of it. He wants it to stress the Greek and Roman origin rather than the Celtic, German, and to a lesser degree Slavic element. The ways of Papists with the Papal Supremacy and Greco-Roman reconstruction never end.

    That is why the best foot forward for Northwestern Europeans is to rip page from Fuentes and promote their for Celtic and German origination and especially their Protestant Christianity. An alliance of these forces in politics, economics, churches, and cultures is what is needed. Building that up, along with hopefully the Slavic nations doing the same, will create a stable series of pillars for recreating Christendom. Of course Papists get made at this because like the Romans they want to spot. Shit hasnt changed for millenia. Hopefully the Slavic Orthodox can stand with the unified Protestant front and force them to subordinate themselves to a more equitable and grander vision of Christendom and doing so thru NATO and the Atlantic Charter. Meanwhile the Anglosphere needs to get its shit together too. For folks like Hunter and myself that must be job number ONE.

  7. Nords vs Med, Anglos vs Celts, Euros vs Americans, Slavs vs Germanics… White vs White in the age of Pax Judaica only serves Jew-rule. Fuentes calls Slavs nonWhite monkeys and now he calls Northern Europeans niggers. He’s not even Italian or Greek, but a mestizo. Don’t watch his show. He shits on his viewers constantly.
