It’s always neat when you think of some historical figure as ancient then see a video of them right in front of you, like history is not as far away as you thought. Similar to how there’s a recording of Johannnes Brahms (https://youtube.com/watch?v=0d848uKtdsA https://youtube.com/watch?v=0d848uKtdsA), and a video of the funeral of the last veteran of the war of 1812: https://youtube.com/watch?v=eMlKtfBHiAQ https://youtube.com/watch?v=eMlKtfBHiAQ
