Christories | History Lessons with Chris Distefano Chris DiStefano

This week on Christories, we're talking about THE FIRST TRANS ROMAN EMPEROR!! We got the HILARIOUS Mike Cannon joining us and learning with us🙌 Elagabalus was a Roman emperor who ruled from 218 to 222 AD. His short reign was notorious for sex scandals and religious controversy. He was known to have many parties, and at one point have a relationship with his chariot driver Hierocles. Elagabalus would beautify himself with cosmetics, makeup and wigs, and liked to be called Hierocles’s mistress, wife and queen. Real quick backstory: Born in 203 AD in Syria, he became emperor at 14 after the assassination of his cousin, Caracalla. Elagabalus is well known for his eccentricities, including promoting the worship of the Syrian sun god Elagabal, which sparked controversy in Rome. His reign was marked by religious innovation, scandalous behavior, and political instability. He was assassinated at the age of 18 due to growing discontent, and his cousin Severus Alexander succeeded him. 🙆🏼‍♂️ TELL US IN THE COMMENTS your favorite moment BABES OR MAYBE WE MISSED SOME COOL THINGS!! 🙌

This week on Christories, we're talking about THE FIRST THANKSGIVING! We got the HILARIOUS @MikeCannonComedy joining us and learning with us🙌 So, we got the Pilgrims, who didn't really love King George VIII and his new religion so they dipped to hang with the Dutch and THEN they went to new discovered land! That first winter was BRUTAL! But they figured things out with Squanto. The first Thanksgiving in North America took place in 1621, when English Pilgrims and Wampanoag Native Americans came together to celebrate a successful harvest. The Pilgrims, who had settled in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and the Wampanoag shared a feast that included wild game, seafood, and crops like corn and squash. It was a symbol of cooperation and goodwill between the two groups, though the historical details are somewhat limited. Thanksgiving has since become a significant holiday in the United States, celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November to give thanks for the year's blessings. 🙆🏼‍♂️ TELL US IN THE COMMENTS your favorite moment BABES OR MAYBE WE MISSED SOME COOL THINGS!! 🙌

This week on Christories, we're talking about JULIUS CAESAR! We got the HILARIOUS Mike Cannon  joining us and learning with us🙌 So, CAESAR, your favorite SALAD, was a Roman general, statesman, and dictator who played a significant role in the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. He was born in 100 BCE and rose to prominence through his military exploits and political maneuvering. In 49 BCE, he famously crossed the Rubicon River with his army, leading to a civil war and eventually his appointment as dictator. His rule marked a turning point in Roman history, as he implemented various reforms and policies. However, his growing power and popularity led to his assassination on the Ides of March in 44 BCE. His death contributed to a period of instability in Rome but also set the stage for the rise of his nephew and adopted son, Octavian, who later became the first Roman Emperor, known as Augustus. Caesar's life and DEATH continue to be a subject of fascination and study in history and literature. 🙆🏼‍♂️ TELL US IN THE COMMENTS your favorite moment BABES OR MAYBE WE MISSED SOME COOL THINGS!! 🙌

This week on Christories, we're talking about the APOLLO 13 AND TOM HANKS TELLING "HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM!" It's the 1960's and JFK wants up to get a man on the moon Baby! We were fighting Russia to get to the moon BAD. Apollo 13 was the seventh crewed mission in NASA's Apollo space program and was intended to be the third mission to land on the Moon. However, it is best known for its dramatic turn of events. Launched on April 11, 1970, the mission suffered an oxygen tank explosion two days later, forcing the crew to abort their lunar landing and focus on returning safely to Earth. Through ingenuity and teamwork, the astronauts, James Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise, managed to overcome life-threatening challenges and safely splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on April 17, 1970. The mission is often remembered for the famous line, "Houston, we have a problem," and it demonstrated NASA's ability to handle emergencies in space. HOW DO YOU THINK YOU'D HANDLE THE RETURN TO EARTH? I HATE ROLLER COASTERS 🙆🏼‍♂️ TELL US IN THE COMMENTS BABES! 🙌

This week on Christories, we're talking about the WAR OF CURRENTS!! IT'S NIKOLA TESLA vs THOMAS EDISON! These two scientist are going head to head. But who is going to win?! Edison supported direct current (DC) for sending electricity, while Tesla backed alternating current (AC).

Edison believed DC was safer and tried to show that AC was dangerous by shocking animals in public demonstrations. Tesla, working with George Westinghouse, promoted AC because it could send electricity over long distances more efficiently. In the end, AC's ability to transmit power over greater distances won, thanks to Tesla's innovations. This war helped shape how we use electricity today, with AC becoming the standard for powering homes and businesses? What do you think about Thomas Edison playing dirty?! That poor elephant!!
