It's not so much fitting it in due to time limits that infuriated me. It was the blatant lies.... ie Christopher Columbus.

Makes sense. Australians are more likely to learn something that relates to Australia than non-Australians are. The sentiment of not being taught something in school has always bugged me because school has too many limits to be able to cover everything everywhere and at the end of the day they have to prioritize.

Rather than being upset that I didn't learn this in school (I'm American btw) I'm just grateful that I have the opportunity to learn it now. It's super interesting.

Yeah, I had to read it twice because the first read through left me wondering how they even got to that Italian library

They sustained themselves on what leftovers of garlic bread and pizzas they could scavenge.

it's actually common on a lot of cultures. Some others go the complete opposite, up to and including dressing remains up and celebrating with them. We're a rich and varied species.

Is there something similar with people from Myanmar? A lady from there was murdered in Ireland recently and there was lots of people upset at media coverage mentioning her name for the same reason or one very similar.

Thank you for the education on this. I had no idea. Always learning.

100% what I got from that headline, too

Are you an Aboriginal or Torres Strait reader? if not, then the warning doesn't apply for you and you can go about your day, or you can do two seconds research and find out why, if you're curious.

Others have already answered, but I will add that it varies from tribe to tribe, but also includes that it's not just out of respect, but some tribes believe if you mention a deceased persons name too much or show their voice or image, they will not be able to properly rest, and it may call someone back from the dead, and that's how you get ghosts and unquiet spirits. Yes, not everybody literally believes that in modern times, but they still follow it out of respect. For some tribes though, this ban expires after a certain period of time (like a month or a year), others it does not. Other times family may waive this ban, especially if they were a prominent person, like a singer or political figure. But yeah, I have relatives who are only referred to by their relationship to others (e.g. his grandmother, their aunty) and not their actual name.

The disclaimer is there for cultural reasons for Native Australian peoples and not for whatever reason you think it is.

Because some Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures have taboos about seeing images of the dead. These are modern adaptations of older taboos against saying the first names of the dead.

It's a cultural practice, where Indigenous Australians are not allowed to refer to a dead person as a mark of respect. This includes sharing electronic images of said people, hence the warning.

It's not "ultra sensitive", it's a cultural thing. For american readers, you would have warnings for images of nudity, and for european readers warnings for images of violence.

Wow, it's incredible that they found visual evidence and were even able to identify the specific tribe! That rock painting is a great historical record too. I wonder how many more oral traditions will be confirmed as time goes by...

The Makassan trade with Indigenous Australians is actually fairly common knowledge here in Australia. And Indigenous Australians going to Makassar has always been assumed and in oral histories but there's never been pictures of it until now.

Wow!? The history that we're never taught in school!? 🇨🇦

Does anyone know of any book or visual media that explains in some detail the Congress of Viena after the napoleonic wars. I have found previous sources online, but they usually only focus on the major parts of the treaties, like Germany or even Italy. I know that multiple subjects were the matter of that congress and so I am looking for something that, in the spirit of Historia Civilis' videos, digs deeper in some more overlooked aspects of the Viena peace treaties.

Thanks

Thanks this is the reply I was looking for
