At 2:21, notice the tall guy standing between the dignitaries and the crowds. Now we might think of him as being 6’-6” or higher but back then I wonder if he’s six feet tall?

Beautiful work. It all fell so very quickly. The Romanov, Habsburg, and Ottoman empires all gone in the blink of an eye.

The wealthiest and most advanced civilization the world has ever known.

It simply shriveled on the vine, then was burned to ash.

That was beautifully done. Very well-colored and sharp.

It makes me sad though, that the uniqueness of a number of cultures has vanished in the last century, and very few remnants remain.

At 2:00 briefly you see the Holy Crown of Hungary being worn. That now resides in the main rotunda of the Hungarian parliament. It spent some time in America. from wiki.

At the end of the Second World War the crown jewels were recovered in Mattsee, Austria, on 4 May 1945 by the U.S. 86th Infantry Division.[14] The crown jewels were transported to Western Europe and eventually given to the United States Army by the Hungarian Crown Guard for safekeeping from the Soviet Union.[15] For much of the Cold War the crown was held at the United States Bullion Depository (Fort Knox, Kentucky) alongside the bulk of America's gold reserves and other priceless historical items. After undergoing extensive historical research to verify the crown as genuine, it was returned to Hungary by order of U.S. President Jimmy Carter on 6 January 1978. Most current academic knowledge about Hungarian royal garments originates from this modern research. Following substantial U.S. political debate, the agreement to return the jewels contained many conditions to ensure the people of Hungary, rather than its Communist government, took possession of the jewels.[16] The majority of the Hungarian-American population opposed the decision to return the crown.[17] On January 6, 1978, US Secretary of State Cyrus Vance returned the Crown to Hungary in Budapest.

I played this video with the sound off and instead played this video with the sound on, while watching the original video and it is much more beautiful, apropos, and rewarding.

I might believe 1897.

Amazing stuff. Speed adjusted so looks very natural.

Probably the best example out of history of what happens whn technology outstrips the political/societal structures ability to manage it.

We are in a similar period now. Our current Political/Media/Business class is barely coping with the pace of change.
