  • Brazilian VAs also have all sorts of crazy mashups, like Goku, Spongebob and Sean Austin (Samwise Gamgee) all being dubbed by the same guy.

Secondary characters sometimes feel like they have a different voice for each episode











  • A Phoenician (the “punic” wars come from a mistranslation from greek to latin, phoenike) colony that became independent due to distance from the capital and just wanted to get rich from trading stuff around. They had an incredible naval industry. All the “losers” and “enemies” of these eras have amazing stories that we’re not taught at school.

    Somewhat related, this video, “Lost Worlds: Secrets of Alexander the Great” is a tracing, initially, of the likely path that created the legend of Jason and the Argonauts, as the myth possibly comes from when sea levels were much higher, to the point that the Black and Caspian seas were connected and you could sail all the way to what today is the middle of Turkmenistan. Later on, it mentions how Alexander didn’t “found” new cities in the region of Bactria, but rather subjugated the cities he happened to walk into
