  2. I always think "this is the best music the Kiners have ever done for EH", and they prove me wrong in the next series!

  3. Hey guys, if you're looking for other incredible figures from a bit later than this period with many of the same very modern persuasions, you guys should check out the Chevalier D'Eon - a gender-ambiguous (right up until their death!) diplomat and dueling spy. Very cool and interesting story here though. Thank you for bringing Julie's story to the forefront!

  4. Charles XII has nothing on Loki when it comes to being a lousy guest.

  5. one of my fav things are how we're starting to get these lines of history series tied together rather than a bunch of individual series ALSO THAT START WAS REALLY CHILLING
    257
  6. In his deciphering of the Bible... in EVERY deciphering of the Bible aimed at finding the date or time, HOW do people keep missing the following? "Noone knows the day or the hour" Or even WORSE, the statement that Christ HIMSELF doesn't know when he's coming back... But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

  7. The "Pots that make the beer good" made me laugh out loud, i love it when we translate ancient things and they are literal descriptors. It makes ancient peoples far more relatable. As always a great video.
    252
  8. "Religiously open-minded: speaks fluent Arab" Huh! Damn. "keeps a harem" wha-
    252
  9. Olenna Tyrell being based of Eleanor is so fitting
    252
  10. Wait...how did they get a carriage inside their house?!
    252
  11. I think I might be too tired to watch right now. I heard "...is dead" and my brain immediately went "lol me"
    251
  12. Interesting that you're covering recent books as well as classics.
    249
  13. I this channel is just so warm and kind. :D I love it in here
    248
  14. Bro was the greatest crusader without even trying
    248
  15. "Thank you, animated Matt". Ok, it's official: In the EH "lore", there are two Matts, and one of them is animated.
    246
  16. As a Native American who came from the Sioux, I appreciate all of these videos about our past, especially Sitting Bull and his ever-lasting defense of what we called home. Extra History, I thank you.

  17. 0:34 guess i do have excellent eyesight. AND OH MY GOD HE HAS A KNIFE

  18. My son was diagnosed with diabetes two weeks ago so he is alive only thanks to insulin now. So really looking forward to watching this after he will be sleeping in half an hour hopefully :-)
    246
  19. I had heard of the Millerites and the "Great Disappointment," and I had heard of the Seventh-Day Adventists but I had no idea that they were connected. Interesting!
    245
  20. As a Quebecer it’s fun to see you talking about my home! Bonne journée!
    245
  21. Extra History Complete is probably one of my top 5 favorite series on this channel! Keep up the great work Extra History!

  22. If you think about it, letting this ex-pirate have a personal squadron of merchant ships was actually a pretty good idea. As a former pirate queen, who would know piracy better than her? At her command, you could be assured that her ships would never be robbed or attacked, that she would be able to outmaneuver or outfight anyone who threatened her, that any cargo under her care would always get through safely. The only things able to stop her would be the gods and the sea.

  23. Examining evidence from Greek and Latin authors from 700 BC to AD 900, the book demonstrates the important technological as well as ideological contributions the Europeans made to beer throughout the ages. The study is supported by textual and archaeological evidence and gives a fresh and fascinating insight into an aspect of ancient life that has fed through to modern society and which stands today as one of the world's most popular beverages
    243
  24. "The Pope's sexy time bed" is a phrase that cannot be unheard and will now live rent free in my mind. 😆
    243
  25. This shows got me more knowledge of the US problem in early 1800s. My school here in Finland didn't cover much, well at all these times, so its great to learn about the times! Keep up the great work❤

  26. IIRC Suzanne Collins was referencing the tail of Theseus and the Minotaur with the Hunger games, hence why the releasing of vicious unnatural monsters into the arena to kill off kids that are getting too good at hiding from their competitors is such a recurring theme of the games.

  27. I was about to ask who the pater of the EC society was, but then I realized it's Zoey. Of course it's Zoey.
    241
  28. Hey, good on my home state for sponsoring this! Minnesota, represent!

  29. A trivia. In Angola local language "Quimbundo" there are 4 or 5 categories of names according to certain circumstances of the baby birth. For examples Queen Nzinga as a baby born with the umbilical cord around her neck would traditionally receive the name of "Lubambo". (Oscar Ribas is the most comprehensive author about the subject of myths, language and culture of Angola.)

  30. I love this tradition! We used to learn about it in class everyday and we all made mini yule goats. Nice video my man. ❤

  31. I was alone when I watched this and let me say I do not laugh when I am alone. laughing is for when there are other people around and you want to lighten the mood, but I kid you not when he said the punchline I laughed for a solid 30 seconds and was lightheaded for a while after. That is all.

  32. From what I remember, both families seemed to copy each others lifestyles and they HATED that; which makes the whole feud even dumber than one realizes
    240
  33. And goats were used the same way. Also, Polynesians carried chickens and charting the DNA of wild and domestic chickens in the pacific islands and in South America is telling us how prolifically the Polynesians traveled.

  34. It's a cautionary tale of why cellphones are great
    239
  35. I was hyped that Vietnam was in Civ 6 and now this is here
    238
  36. Henry Ford racing cars himself, funny this hasn't been covered more in other media!
    238
  37. This caught me off guard, but rather intriguing. Might encourage people to look a little more closely into politics. =) Does make me wonder though: if one tried looking at other countries' politics through this game design lens, how similar or different would they be?
    238
  38. Just little something about the pronunciations Temujin- sounds like tem-uu-Jing the u is pronounced much longer Uesugei- the u isn’t there so it’s more Esuuhey (the g’s sound more like h’s) Jamukha- jamuha with the h being heavily sounded Bortey?- burtuu Just a little something for anyone who’s interested (perfect timing for the series too cuz it comes a traditional holiday here) Edit- borte isn’t burtuu but is burtee (brain fart right there)
    237
  39. I loved Zoey in the endcard. Fly kitty!
    236
  40. Prophecies, holy trials, and messages from angels. Stuff most modern people would call superstition, or even madness. But let's not go all amateur psychiatrist on Joan; to history, where people believed orders came from is often more important than their true source. Also, the patient died centuries before the birth of modern psychology. We don't have precise enough reports to diagnose anything but piety.
    235
  41. This series teaches people the meta of politics. If you watch a competitive Melee video, and know nothing about Smash Bros, it's completely incomprehensible. You know nothing. But if you've played a bit of Melee, you can see the strategies of the players developing, and being implemented. The same with Politics. It's obtuse fro the outside, but once you've watched a couple tutorial videos (like this one) you can see the players' moves and plays, and understand the game.
    235
  42. Got to respect Delilah's work commitment. Take that over Samson's easy super strength any day.
    234
  43. If the Mythology videos continue to be a thing, I hope the Egyptian pantheon is explored. They seem really interesting, but Greek and Norse mythos tend to get most of the love. (Yeah, I know this one was sponsored- I just mean in general. :) )
    233
  44. man, it feels damn good to see my channel show up on a "things you might not have tried" style list. Thanks so much for the shoutout Dan!
    232
  45. The problem with Lovecraft is "Our position in the universe might not be what we think it is and that's terrifying" to him was "straight white men aren't inherently better than everyone else, and we should treat people outside of that demographic well."
    231
  46. Finally 4M subscribers, still an underrated channel

  47. This is amazingly uplifting and especially empowering for a young woman coming into her own. Thank you for bringing this amazing role model into the light. I’m going to share this with a ton of people I know who could use the inspiration and motivation this stirred in me! ^-^
    231
  48. It is always good to have a second teacher of history, books, and even mythology. Keep up the great work, Extra Credits people!

  49. Daaaaaammmn Dan(iel), back at it again with the non-euclidian geometry!

  50. Walpole, Jr, backing knockoffs of a French version of a play which happens to minimize the anti-Walpole criticisms of the original? Like father, like son.
