Скачать или смотреть Pirates – Myth and Reality | From Antiquity to the Golden Age

For centuries, pirates have captured our imagination – with skull-and-crossbones flags, buried treasure, and high-seas adventures. But behind the myth lies a complex history of violence, politics, and the longing for freedom.
This documentary uncovers the real story of piracy:
• Ancient sea raiders in the Mediterranean and Pompey’s campaign against them
• Vikings, Saracens, and privateers in medieval Europe
• The Barbary corsairs of North Africa and their slave raids
• Privateers like Francis Drake and Henry Morgan in the service of crowns
• The “Golden Age” with Blackbeard, Calico Jack, Anne Bonny, and Mary Read
• Pirate havens such as Nassau, Tortuga, and Port Royal
• The decline in the 18th century and the rise of the pirate myth in literature and film
We reveal how pirates were feared criminals, political instruments, and symbols of freedom all at once – and how their legends continue to shape our culture today.
👉 An epic journey through 2,000 years of piracy – between history and myth.
