The Complete History of Beards From Ancient Egypt To The Present Day

What did Marcus Aurelius, Jesus, and Ragnar Lothbrok all have in common? Apart from their notorious and symbolic deaths, all three men boasted luscious beards. Throughout history, beards have posed quite the conundrum for all those able to grow them. While some Roman emperors chose to outlaw beards in retaliation to the Greek penchant for hipster stubble, others chose to grow them long and strong to demonstrate their machismo and sexual prowess. The question of “to beard or not to beard” is one which has puzzled men (and women!) over the course of civilisation, leading to hairy battles and questionable postiches but, in this miniseries, Tom and Dominic settle the great debate once and for all. Join our clean shaven hosts as they wade through the long and scraggly history of the beard. From Alexander the Great’s ingenious beardless marketing strategy to the chinstrap beards of Ancient Egypt, prepare to have your mind blown by the remarkable power of facial hair. 00:00 What is the purpose of beards? 05:00 Introduction to the history of beards 09:46 Beards in Ancient Egypt 12:05 Beards in Ancient Israel 13:45 Beards in Ancient Greece 21:05 Beards in Ancient Rome 35:48 Christianity and beards 47:28 What was medieval shaving like 52:00 Beards in medieval times 53:45 Beards in Renaissance times 56:20 Beards in Tudor times 1:04:00 Beards in Georgian times 1:14:44 Beards in Victorian times 1:22:05 Beards in the 20th century 1:27:17 The association of beards with communism and left wing views 1:30:47 Beards in the 1960s Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @restishistorypod   Twitter: @TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook Producer: Theo Young-Smith Assistant Producer: Tabby Syrett Video Editor: Jack Meek Social Producer: Harry Balden Executive Producers: Jack Davenport + Tony Pastor
