  5. Finally a video which states some of the issues I have when it comes to historical accuracies and inaccuracies. Most notable is the modern understanding that sometimes Hollywood uses as politically correct in order not to offend someone, group, or idea. These tactics I find deplorable especially when it comes from creators that try to rewrite or omit the reason why things happened the way they happened because they disagree with one thing or another. Trying to put women for example on a pedestal or not to offend some sjw group by showing how stong women can be even in ancient Greek mythology. Even though Medusa was a Priestess of Athena she was raped by Poseidon and because she was supposed to remain a virgin she was transformed into a Gorgan for her crimes. Try and explain that.

  7. “Gods of Egypt” is a prime example of ALL TEN (and honorable mentions) of theses! That movie erks me to no end.

  9. Well movies and tv shows aren’t made to be historically accurate, if you wanted them to be historically accurate then go watch a documentary
