One pasha of Buda had a thing for wine. But since it's haram he had to sneak out from the castle and visit wineries in secret. On one occasion he found such a good drinking buddy, that he made a blood-pact with him, forming a brotherhood. The Hungarian didn't know whom he made the blood-pact since the pasha was incognito. I'm sure there's a story following, that the guy finally called on a favor (or vice versa) but I don't know about that.

Have not looked it up yet. I'm not sure I'll to be honest.

But here's another thing. Not entirely related to the Ottos.

So this Jew is talking about the Solomon temple and its lost treasures.
When I saw this first time, I had an opinion about this. The place was ransacked and destroyed a couple of times, rebuilt, used, refilled, and as this guy says it wasn't anything that could rival the temples of the surrounding large empires. Egypt, and the Mesopotamian civilizations and then Anatolia, the Hittites were immensely rich in those times, building wonders, amassing wealth. They frequently clashed in the border region which was the Levant, with the Jewish tribes and other tiny states populating it. Eventually the nth original temple was destroyed and the Jews brought to captivity. There they met these civilizations up close, personally, and they lived there for generations. They saw those temples there, but noone remembered their own as the first generations died, the tales remained, and the viewpoints of the first captives, who probably spoke scornfully about the temples of those nations. So the coming generations inherited this view but only knew the riches and looks of these temples, so they dreamt their own more lavish and rich, filled with treasures and exotic stuff. And well where could all the treasures disappear? They were hidden ofc.

I had another thought, and I watched again. This bloke also has that Shatner-esque pauses what Paul Harrell has. Kinda. This isn't the other thought, but this:
In the ancient civilizations the temple was the center of the economy, in fact in Hungarian we call it temple economy because of this (and also palace economy, how the English calls it too). The main settlement had the temple with the scribes who doubled as priests, or the priests who doubled as scribes. They did the administration of the state, they were the ruling class basically. The surrounding lands were dotted with smaller settlements with specialized functions. Fishing villages, orchards, quarries, farms, mines... they produced food, pottery, building materials, tools, weapons, etc. and the products were sent to the central temple where they made an inventory and decided about the use of the stock they amassed. Some sent back to the villages for consumption, the others they used in communal building projects and such, and ofc the priesthood lived lavishly from what they kept.
And this Jewish myth about the treasures of the temple, seem to reflect this type of economic organization. Besides the rabbis and their tribe had an exceptional place in Jewish society.
