Thanks for watching, folks! This episode was super fun to make and I'll admit I was surprised by how much I liked this story! Didn't expect to *dislike* it of course but as I said in my analysis the uniqueness of it just blew me away! I'm really happy I was able to look into the tale and share what I learned with you beautiful peeps. Thanks for providing me that opportunity. What did you think of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves?

Morgiana occupies the lowest possible position but proves to be the smartest, bravest, and most valuable person in the story. This woman was extremely undervalued, but proved her worth and was recognized for the treasure that she was by the end of the story. It adds a little more meaning when you remember that this story is being told by Scheherazade, whose goal was to continually keep the king from deciding to go through with having her killed.

I read somewhere that the stories in 1001 Nights start out sexist and gradually start lookibg more favorably towards women over the course of the book, Shererazade originally mirroring her husband's misogynist views to get in his good graces and then slowly get him to chabge his mind. Unfortunately I have not been able to confirm or deny this theory, because so far I have onlx been able to make it halfway through the book, except that the first cluster of stories (Fisherman and the Djinn) is indeed an exceedingly sexist one.

The story of Ali Baba has been dramatized many times. I always remembered one in which Ali Baba's brother snuck into the cave and tried to get out when he heard the thieves coming-but has forgotten the password which would open the cave-door.He remembered vaguely that it was some plant-seed and tried,"Open Ryebread! Open Barleycorn! Open Pumpkinseeds!" (I once told this to a woman who didn't realize that was where,"Open Sesame,"came from.

I read in a book written in Arabic once, a mention of the origin of the phrase " Open sesame". Sesame is the name of the gatekeeper! Oh Yeah! his name was Simmsimm; the Arabic name for sesame. The german who translate the story got it wrong in faithfulness. And got it right for adding more mystery to the story. Also, while I'm at it, let me slide the meaning of the name Murjanah in Arabic. She is a Precious coral! "which is used for making jewelry" said Wikipedia.

Thanks for this content. To add some facts: Scheherezade doesn't tell Schariar the stories directly. She does to her sister Dunyazad, who is present there and asks for them, in order to (succesfully) get the king interested and avoid being killed next morning. And the status of the Nights being written by many authors is discussed by some scholars, who argue there is a single origin (despite having later additions).

Thanks for this one! I love Ali Baba! I was a major researching AD&D geek in the 80s. I drew inspiration from my hours and hours in the library to create my homebrew AD&D missions. Ali Baba (in my campaign) was the thieves' guild's guild master and mayor-for-life of the town he was in. His background was almost identical to Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. The town was an adventurer's safe haven, the thieves were sort-of-good-guys, and the corruption was socially beneficial. Yes, my teenage AD&D nerd self made an in-game sequel to the story... with a little tweaking on the original story. As for the name you don't want to try to pronounce, I hear it mostly pronounced like these words all jammed together: Shaw Hair Eh Zod. Pronounce the "e" in "eh" more like a short "i". Middle-Eastern names can be quite beautiful.

In 'Branwen, Daughter of Llyr,' the giant British king Bran (her brother) takes an army to Ireland to rescue her from mistreatment in her husband's court. The Irish build a giant meeting hall for peace negotiations (an ambush) and a number of warriors conceal themselves in sacks hung from the support columns. Bran's advisor (and the cause of all the trouble in the first place) takes a little tour of the hall. When told the sacks contain grain, he grips each one and easily crushes the skulls of the warriors. I don't know about you, but I wonder why every single concealed man kept quiet and didn't try to escape once the massacre began.

I also always thought it was just, open says me" and when it was retold orally for so many years it changed and evolved to open sesame.

there is a 1971 Turkish movie called the same name of this. I suddenly remembered every event in the movie bc they covered every single detail. I suggest you to check it out just bc the guy who played ali baba was a legendary actor here in Turkey! after I check out most of the comments here I realized that most of the middle eastern countries covered this story! since ali baba the name is also very common for a lot of them! thanks for this story. I've just found your channel and subscribed for the crazy amount of hardwork you are going through for every single one of your videos!

In '1001 Nights' Scheherazade's (the lady) name is pronounced 'SHAH-RA-ZAD'. That's how most people pronounce it, anyway.

1:52 He disliked his own video 😂 I've never seen Aladdin and the King of Theives. Yess, do a video on the turtle! I know it from Avatar and Pokemon. I know what you mean by "a bundle of sticks". I feel like most people thought it was "Open says me".

It's interesting to me, too, that the mark that Morgiana often is depicted "replicating" is a simple x or +. Given the Christian subculture in the Muslim world - primarily Orthodox (Syrian and Byzantine) and Coptic Christians, especially in the Ottoman and Mamluk areas, this would likely have been a cross symbol. No surprise, then, that the French translator included it in the mix of stories - it fits the right tone for the "persecuted Christian" idea of the mid-second-millennium. When Morgiana puts the mark on all the doors, she may is certainly helping Ali Baba, but she may also be replicating the story (included in all the holy texts of the Abrahamic faiths) of the passover lamb.

There's a superb production of 1001 Arabian Nights - best to watch the extended edition rather than truncated edition. When Scheherazade is desperately trying to distract the Shah Ria from his thoughts of executing her she offers him some Sesame biscuits. He angrily retorts "i don't like Sesame!". She then uses that as an opening to the story of Ali Baba. Its poetic.

I adore this story and your recaps on everything! Please please PLEASE tell about the turtle on your mystical series PLEASE!! Sidenote, isn't it annoying when in retellings Morgiana is Ali Baba? I've noticed some rewriters think the children would get confused by so many characters, so they sometimes smash the two characters together.

Alibaba is kinda a classic from where I come from since it's adapted into a (old) movie by a very famous local director/actor. The story is more on theconedy side but it does follow the original story with a lil modification here and there (such as the blind old man that sew the corpse was substituted with a chinese guy that was blindfolded by Morgiana during the journey to Alibaba's house and the song for this part is very addicting XD). I recommend it if you have a weak heart for the gore but still wanted to have the experience of the original story. I think there is an English translation imbedded in the movie but do be reminded that it's a very old movie (it's in black and white) so the sub will be a bit hard to see. The name of the movie is Alibaba Bujang Lapok

Wow! I loved this video, as usual. Those thieves died such a painful way. But, they deserved it. The slave woman was awesome. She was so clever. I’m happy that she ended up with Ali Baba’s son. She deserved a little reward/bonus. Yes, please make a messed up origin video about that cute turtle island thingy.

I grew up with the Arabian nights stories...Ali baba and forty thieves was one of the most gruesome ones I ever heard....there were some minor differences ...the slave girl was called Marjina and the secret chant to open the cave was 'khul ja sim sim'.....great video BTW!
