Thinking about writing a history book
 

on ROME

In the past i thought about re-writing the bible, making it make sense and basically updating it so it reads normal, but that is a borefest

meanwhile i basically read the histories of rome for fun, listen and watch everything possible, and i just genuinely enjoy all of it. but even that, a subject i am interested in, can be a toil.

if i want the unfiltered closest view of it i have to read the furthest sources, the stuff written closest to when the events actually took place. the problem i run into with most history books on it written in relatively modern times is they tend to criticise the ancients, and say numbers were inflated, and say oh this is most likely propaganda and untrue etc.

i kind of just want to lay it out how it is written, but with dopeness

honestly i'm just trying to think of books i can write and self publish on the amazon kindle store lol to see if i get random tricklings of side money

i figure it would be dope to write a bunch of books on ancient history and their peoples.

just a random thread made at 3:42 in the morning on a night where i couldnt sleep as the beer wore off and i was confronted with the torment that my favorite team is 0-2, my pops probably has a giant blood clot in his leg waiting to break free and destroy him, and the pressures of saving money in a society where it is to easy to spend it

I'M HALLUCINATING DEMONS IN THE WALLS

THE REPTILIANS ARE COMING!!! 9/29/15

but yea i dunno. i'm gonna be an author watup

do it up. I wouldn't try to write an actual history book if I were you. the people wanna see history according to UH OH, not some dude who read some books try to write history.

word

we need some uh-oh meets horrible historys kinda shit

where you just splurge on the cool stuff and turn off the boredom

WORD

this will probably never happen btw as i just sat down to begin and gave up almost immediately

like yo

watup, romes earliest beginnings are shrouded in nonsense mythology. venus (aphrodite) was using her power of love to influence the other gods to mate with mortals. jupiter (zeus) got pissed about it because, juno (hera) was jealous that he was banging mortals and knocking them up instead of her. in retaliation jupiter made venus fall in love with a mortal named anchises, who was a minor prince of dardania, a region outside of troy at the foot of mt ida in turkey. venus came to him under the guise of a phrygian princess and they banged for a couple weeks. 9 months later she came back to him with a son named aeneas and told him she was actually venus, and that he shouldn't boast about banging her because jupiter would fuck him up for some unknown reason even when jupiter was the one that made her fuck him in the first place. aeneas was then taken and raised by nymphs until he was five and returned to anchises. anchises was drunk probably in an argument with some nobody mortal woman who wouldnt give up the pussy, and he was like i fucked VENUS THO THE GODDESS OF LOVE AND BEAUTY, and jupiter caught wind of it and hit him in the foot with a thunderbolt making him LAME.

so as i'm writing shit like that^ i realize just how massive the undertaking is and am discouraged from actually going through with it.

just telling the whole story of aeneas is gonna be a healthy portion of a book, i mean dude became the king like leader of the dardanian allies to troy, in the battles/war over helen/troy with the greek cities, he is a dope warrior but is almost killed a bunch of times but venus/appollo/neptune save him, achilles himself is about to kill him when he is saved because of his destiny.

him and some others were like man give that ho helen back, and since they were basically on the greeks side of the argument but honour bound to troy the greeks took mercy on him and he fled carrying his father with his bum foot out of the city

then he has extensive travels, battles, mystical shit happening all along the way before he settles where rome is and becomes homie's with the latins

literally aeneas' life deserves its own book basically. or at least half of it.

i was thinking basically since i've had to read mad different sources and shit from virgil to livy to EVERYTHING basically to get a full understanding, i want to put it all in a definitive volume, but i am quickly realizing it would be the longest book of all time and wikipedia exists

i just hate how everything is summarized and shits barely referenced in most history books so you gotta search and find random shit that barely makes sense written in a garbage ancient language lol

Maybe the book idea isn't for you.

Maybe something like a YT channel / partnership where you make informative vids about different annals in the history of Rome and talk at length about them is.

It would take a bit of planning beforehand so you didnt just ramble insanely off track and forget key plot points that you would need to go back and re-cover, but I think it might work.

'The Dirtperson's Guide Through History' or some shit

all you need is one video to go viral for you and get your name out then you could be caking

word thats actually a pretty good idea

I'M WITH IT.

Trust me on this this Jim. If you want to write than write. 1000 words a day. No exceptions. Just do it. Once you are in about 30000 words, the momentum takes you.

Lol @ this.

lololol

Sounds interesting tbh

re-write the bible got me

do you want me to do the audiobook again?

I legit am interested in this idea.

yes

mythical lore for dummies

The lime has spoken.
@uh-oh make it so.
