00:00.
00:05Fire of Rome, shadow of the beast.
00:10Born into empire, Rome, the iron beast of the nation.
00:15The nation still ruled the world when a child named Lucius Domitius...
00:20Enobarbus was born in Antium on 15 December, in the year men would...
00:25...later call aid 37.
00:28He did not look like a monster.
00:30He was just a child, but the spirit behind the armor had already mocked him.
00:35He was born into a line woven with ambition and blood.
00:40He was the son of Gnaeus Domitius, Enobarbus and Agrippina the Younger.
00:44Great grand...
00:45...and daughter of Augustus, heir of the old imperial dream.
00:49When his father died...
00:50...Lucius was only three.
00:52By eleven...
00:53...his mother had placed herself beside...
00:55...emperor Claudius.
00:57Not out of love...
00:59...but out of hunger.
01:01Claudius adopted the boy.
01:03Gave him a new name.
01:04Gave him a new name.
01:05Gave him a new destiny.
01:07Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus...
01:10...a name fused with empire.
01:12A name carrying Rome, Caesar, Augustus and Germanicus...
01:15...in one breath.
01:16A name that was no longer just a man...
01:19...but a man.
01:20A throne...
01:21...in the unseen realm.
01:23The Anunnaki watched from behind the veil...
01:25...this one...
01:27...the leader murmured...
01:28...will be useful.
01:31For Nero was born into a world...
01:33...already shaped by their influence...
01:34...a world...
01:35...where Rome had crucified the Messiah...
01:38...renamed him...
01:39...and baptized him...
01:40...and baptized empire in false light.
01:42Now the shadows desired a new mask.
01:45The emperor becomes his own god...
01:47...when Claudius died in AD 54.
01:50...before Nero ascended the throne...
01:52...backed by the Senate...
01:53...the Praetorian God.
01:55...in the unseen whisper of darkness.
01:58At first he was guided by three...
02:00...with straining hands.
02:02His mother Agrippina...
02:03...is true to Seneca the young...
02:05...is Praetorian Prefect Burris.
02:08They counseled restraint...
02:09...moderation...
02:10...diplomacy...
02:12...but the shadows did not want moderation.
02:15They wanted corruption inside Nero's mind...
02:18...the old voice of the pale image...
02:20...though shattered by the Messiah's victory...
02:22...still echoed through the habits of empire.
02:25You are above all.
02:26You answer to none.
02:27You are not a man.
02:29You are...
02:30...for Rome.
02:31Nero pushed his mother aside...
02:33...then plotted her death.
02:35...and the sea itself seemed to shudder...
02:38...as the sun orchestrated the murder of...
02:40...the woman who bore him after her came others.
02:43His wife Claudia Octavia...
02:45...his stepbrother Britannicus...
02:47...political rivals...
02:48...suspected enemies were...
02:50...the Messiah gave his life for others.
02:53Nero took lives to protect his own...
02:55...the contrast echoed through the ages.
02:58One king carried a crown...
03:00...one emperor wielded a sword...
03:02...one broke the curse...
03:03...the other deepened it.
03:05...Rome's fire in the blood of the followers...
03:08...Nero love theater...
03:09...music...
03:10...performance.
03:11He stood on stages...
03:13...sang in public...
03:15...and drove chariots in games...
03:16...shocking the elite who believed...
03:18...emperors should never descend to...
03:20...the roles of entertainers...
03:22...but the lower classes loved him.
03:24He fed them...
03:25...spectacles...
03:26...he built amphitheaters...
03:27...he gave them games...
03:29...all at a...
03:30...the elite groaned...
03:32...under heavy taxation...
03:33...the city strained...
03:35...under his excess.
03:36Then came the great fire of Rome...
03:38...flames devoured...
03:40...our districts...
03:41...buildings collapsed...
03:42...smoke drowned the sky...
03:43...the city screamed...
03:45...as everything it knew...
03:46...turned to ash...
03:47...some whispered Nero himself...
03:49...ordered it...
03:50...to clear land...
03:51...for a golden palace...
03:52...worthy of his vanity...
03:54...whether...
03:55...or not he lit the first spark...
03:57...the shadow seized the blaze...
03:59...Rome needed escape...
04:00...the wicked goat...
04:01...the followers of the Messiah...
04:02...the stubborn group...
04:03...who claim Jesus...
04:04...not Caesar...
04:05...was Lord...
04:06...became the target...
04:07...Nero pointed his finger...
04:09...the emblem...
04:10...the empire obeyed...
04:11...Christians were seized...
04:12...tortured...
04:13...burned as human torches...
04:14...to light his garden...
04:15...the Anunnaki...
04:17...watched with dark satisfaction...
04:19...here...
04:20...they whispered...
04:21...is the first great persecutor...
04:22...of the children of light...
04:24...what the...
04:25...shadows failed...
04:26...to kill on the cross...
04:27...they now tried to crush...
04:28...under the Emperor's hand...
04:30...I've grown in the fear of judgment...
04:33...later storytellers...
04:35...and Jewish traditions...
04:36...spoke of a strange moment...
04:37...during the great...
04:38...Jewish revolt...
04:39...they said...
04:40...Nero came to Jerusalem...
04:42...testing his fate...
04:43...he shot arrows...
04:44...in all four directions...
04:45...every arrow...
04:46...they said...
04:47...fell toward the city...
04:48...then he asked a child...
04:50...to recite the verse...
04:51...he learned that day...
04:52...the child replied...
04:54...I will lay my...
04:55...vengeance upon Adam...
04:57...by the hand of my people...
04:58...Israel...
05:00...Nero trembled...
05:01...the word struck him...
05:02...like a verdict...
05:03...God would destroy...
05:04...his own house...
05:05...but punish the man...
05:06...who carried it out...
05:07...he desires to destroy...
05:08...his temple...
05:09...he whispered...
05:10...and lay the blame on me...
05:12...and according to the legend...
05:14...he fled...
05:15...and embraced the faith...
05:16...of the very people...
05:17...Rome oppressed...
05:18...whether history...
05:19...or parable...
05:20...the meaning holds...
05:21...even Rome's emperor...
05:22...drunk on power...
05:23...and blood...
05:24...could feel the...
05:25...the weight of a higher judge...
05:26...from that seed...
05:27...tradition says...
05:28...Rose Rabbi Mir...
05:30...descended from the emperor...
05:32...who once persecuted...
05:33...the messiah's followers...
05:35...the line that wielded...
05:36...the sword would one day...
05:37...carry the scroll...
05:38...the shadows...
05:40...never foresaw it...
05:45...the death of me...
05:49...the death of me...
05:50...the hero and the beast...
05:51...it would not die...
05:54...eventually Rome...
05:55...and turned on Nero...
05:56...the senator rebelled...
05:59...Governant Gal...
06:00...to gain support...
06:01...the senate declared...
06:02...Nero a public enemy...
06:05...the emperor...
06:06...who believed in Suffolk...
06:07...God...
06:08...fled his own city...
06:10...abandoned by the power...
06:11...he worshipped...
06:12...on 9 June...
06:13...80...
06:14...68...
06:15...he took his own life...
06:17...Rome collapsed...
06:19...into killing...
06:20...chaos...
06:21...the year of the four...
06:22...emblems...
06:23...with something strange...
06:25...the soldier followed...
06:26...rumors sped...
06:27...that Nero lived...
06:28...whispers claimed...
06:29...he would return...
06:30...three impostors rose...
06:32...claiming to be Nero...
06:34...we born...
06:35...early believers...
06:36...looked at Nero's...
06:37...cruelty...
06:38...his persecution...
06:39...his...
06:40...self-worship...
06:41...his fire and blood...
06:43...and saw a pattern...
06:45...the beast...
06:46...the prophets...
06:47...warned about...
06:48...the Antichrist...
06:49...a membrio...
06:50...many interpret it...
06:51...666...
06:52...as a coded reference...
06:53...to Nero's name...
06:55...the Anunnaki...
06:56...listened...
06:57...hunderly...
06:58...if we cannot...
06:59...keep the man...
07:00...they muttered...
07:01...we will keep the pattern...
07:03...the Nero's spirit...
07:05...empire...
07:06...self-worship...
07:07...blasphemy...
07:08...violence...
07:09...lived on...
07:10...wherever rulers...
07:11...place themselves...
07:12...above God...
07:13...above justice...
07:15...above humanity...
07:20...by a shadow...
07:21...that crosses oceans...
07:22...Miro died...
07:23...but the Ampline...
07:25...if the fire...
07:26...did not roam...
07:27...reshaped itself...
07:28...passing its spirit...
07:29...into new hosts...
07:30...emperors...
07:32...popes...
07:34...conquers...
07:35...colonizers...
07:37...the Roman-German powers...
07:40...who would one day...
07:41...cross the sea...
07:42...and trample the lands...
07:43...of the indigenous people...
07:45...of God...
07:46...the same spirit...
07:47...that burned Christians...
07:48...in Rome...
07:49...burned villages...
07:50...on tribal island...
07:52...the same spirit...
07:53...that renamed the Messiah...
07:54...renamed...
07:55...indigenous...
07:56...children...
07:57...in boarding schools...
07:58...the same spirit...
07:59...that crucified...
08:00...crucified cultures...
08:02...Nero's life...
08:03...became more than history...
08:05...it became a symbol...
08:07...of what happens...
08:09...when a man...
08:10...makes himself a God...
08:13...of what empire...
08:14...becomes...
08:15...no longer fears...
08:16...judgment...
08:17...of the beast...
08:18...that rises...
08:19...in every age...
08:20...the power bows...
08:21...to no one...
08:22...yet the children of light...
08:24...saw a difference...
08:25...pattern...
08:26...for every Nero...
08:28...there was a Peter...
08:29...who preached...
08:30...a Paul...
08:31...who wrote...
08:32...a believer...
08:33...who refused to bow...
08:34...an indigenous...
08:35...an elder...
08:36...keeping sacred...
08:37...songs alive...
08:38...in secret...
08:39...the beast...
08:40...the empire...
08:41...roared...
08:42...the Anunnaki...
08:43...celebrated...
08:44...too soon...
08:45...for the life...
08:46...the Messiah...
08:47...set ablaze...
08:48...to not be...
08:49...extinguished...
08:50...by Nero's...
08:50...the Empire...
08:51...Rome...
08:52...sword...
08:53...German...
