I really love these historiography episodes! It's a topic not discussed enough by history youtubers, who have an unfortunate tendency to simply spout narratives without context or background

I visited the Sistine Chapel once and noticed how Michelangelo had taken artistic liberties with the tellings of the biblical stories. Artists have been doing this for a very long time.

Err...guys, I did notice you dressing up a monkey and trying to pass it off as a human. For starters, not only are there many anatomical differences between humans and monkeys, I am autistic, and I am told autistic people often notice things other guys might miss. To be honest, I was more shocked that Matt swore when introducing Edward Gibbon. Also, I don't personally think Christianity was solely to blame for the final collapse of Rome, because, well, that is kind of mean; it was a number of different circumstances which happened to come together that, ultimately, brought down Rome. The Supreme Chicken had nothing to do with it, however. Or, if it did, it hid its involvement so well it hoped the humans wouldn't notice until internet was invented.

considering that Rome fell in 1453, Christianity was not to blame for its fall. Nor even the western empire.
