Hearted Youtube comments on A Day In History (@ADayInHistoryOfficial) channel.

  1. I once had dinner in a tent in outer Mongolia, where they displayed a portrait of Genghis Khan. Mare's milk, rice wine and goat meat. We sang and drank rice wine from a bowl, what I did not know is that it was a custom to keep filling the bowl until the song ended, I got very drunk. The women's faces turned red like tomatoes when you spoke to them.

  2.  @ADayInHistoryOfficial  Thank you for explaining that. That's appalling of Youtube. Thank you for providing the important truth despite needing to title it inappropriately for it to been seen.

  3. Captain James Riley wrote an incredible story of survival called Skeletons on the Zahara. He was ship wrecked and against all odds survived along with 6 of his crew members. Gives great historical context of the Sahara slave trade in 1816.

  4. You mention in your video that Barbery Pirates kept clear of European coastline when in fact they raided Cornwall in England many times plus further up the English Chanel including the French coast Holland Norway as far as Iceland. My wife had a Great Great Great Grandmother who was taken in 1842 from Cornwall as a 21-year-old girl in a raid and sold as a concubine in Tangiers she was kept as a slave until bought by the Vatican in 1846 she had been made pregnant three times (Raped) she returned home Brocken and ill she died in 1848, 27 years old, she did get married and had a daughter a distant relative of my wife. She was quite shocked when she found out.

  5.  @ADayInHistoryOfficial  That sucks. Youtube also doesn't recommend videos that are demonetized. So many creators face this problem. Thank you for bringing to light these lesser known topics.

  6. We appreciate the fact you’ve taken the time and effort to make videos like these for us. May God bless you.

  7. In a society that is trying to make people forget these and other similar history events I am very grateful to you for making this so some will remember!

  8. Fun fact: There is a movie about the last Tsar and the fall of the Russian Empire called "Nicholas and Alexandra", which did a magnificent job showing the last years of the Romanov dynasty and how they went from living in enormous luxury and respect to living in misery and being mistreated by those who once were their commoners. The final scene where the family is executed is really terrifying and leaves you completely shattered.

  9. Sri Lanka was wild af

  10. The song that Suchomel mentions was not sang by the camp-guards as you explained it. It was sang by the inmates (and had to be sang everyday in the morning and in the evening), that's a huge difference. New inmates had to learn the song from day 1 even though it is in german language.

  11. You should do a video about the Northeast trades, the United States Government broke every treaty they signed with the Native tribes EVERY SINGLE ONE !

  12. So glad you guys covered this part of history!

  13. Insane! Thank you A day in history for bringing us such topics from history.

  14. I've been told by Scandinavians that Norway, Sweden, and Denmark are the Scandinavian countries. (Finland was a portion of Russia until well after the Viking age.) Also, Icelanders have told me that the old Norse language lives on in Icelandic. None of the North Sea European cultures consider Finland to be in their cultural group.

  15. I actually have an 18th century commode right next to me. Currently it is serving as a bedside table but all the porcelain is still intact and perfectly capable of being returned to its original purpose should the need arise lol
    81
  16. You deserve way more 'likes'. Brilliant effort on the video all round.
    79
  17. Underrated channel, the quality is amazing! 🔥❤
    76
  18. Wow, im polish and we didn't even TALK about this in history class. Thank you for making a video about this. Much love from Poland <3
    74
  19. I'm 31 and I thought I was done partying in my 20s but I'd like to party with Romans
    67
  20. Wife selling was a major plot point in Thomas Hardy's The Mayor of Casterbridge.
    65
  21. I believe that wider nostrils are typically found in areas of warmer climate, and narrow nostril types are found in cooler climates. The reason being that the narrow noses are better at retaining the warm and humid air created by the body.

  22. He sounds like quite a man I believe the most important thing that he could have done was the University's the books of knowledge cuz things like that live on and on overtime buildings crumble and civilizations even cease but knowledge hopefully we'll keep growing

  23. Another video dropped by a day in history? You've just made my whole day sir.

  24. Thank you ❤️
    45
  25. A little discussed, yet absolutely crucial element of understanding historical societies & how the family interacted, accepted & intertwined with others through marriage. The structure of the State is inherently based on the structure of the family. I'd love to see a paper going into this topic if anyone knows of any. Love your channel! I get so bored of everyone covering the Punic wars, Alexander's conquest, Caesars glory lol they've all been done 100 times just on YouTube. I crave the little things that show how people lived, loved & died. Thanks for breaking the mold!
    42
  26. This channel is so going to blow up, the content is super!
    42
  27. This is what happens when violent sociopaths are given power.

  30. The unspeakable things Genghis Khan did to his enemies. Me: LIKED & SUBSCRIBED!
    37
  31. This is indeed a very informative channel, very good videos. I subscribed a couple of months ago, I hope you get many more subscribers, you deserve it. PS. I took the liberty of recommending you to the toldinstone channel, when he asked about other channels.
    35
  32. The eunuchs in ancient China are a fascinating topic, one often covered in dramas and action tv series on Chinese broadcasting. Chinese series, many of which have English subtitles, can be quite good fun to watch because as in American soap operas the storylines go on literally for years lol.
    34
  33. love your videos from india
    34
  34. Very interesting and informative. Always an eye opening experience watching these videos. Thank you form South Africa

  36. Interesting that ancient Greeks used tablets just like we do in the modern world 🌎
    29
  37. Great channel, glad YouTube recommended it. Love the humor as well. Never loose that. "Potatoes don't scream as much" Lucky for us, otherwise would never peal a potato again. I have 2 ready for tomorrows flaying :) They are patiently waiting for their sealed faith.
    29
  38. Day 3 of binging the channel. Day 3 of being impressed with subject matter!
    28
  39. Well the title pharaoh as a metonym for the Egyptian ruler was apparently not used until the 19th dynasty, over two millennia into the history of the state, but in principle yes, they started using it retroactively as well and the forms and type of kingship were evolving in a very consistent way all that time, so the definition largely holds. Imagine if the US lasts a few more centuries and the chief executive is referred to officially as Whitehouse, and retroactively George Washington is called the First Whitehouse of the US.
    24
  40. As an Englishman and an old soldier, I have to say that Joan fought bravely and in no way deserved her awful end. Charles the V11 did not have one ounce of the courage that Joan had and totally abandoned her,I only hope that what he did,or rather did not do haunted him to his dying day and that he never ever had a good night's sleep because of his abandonment of Joan and if there is a heaven,I hope that Joan is there.
    23
  41. Wow, I'm glad I got to be here early bc your channel needs to BLOW UP. Your voice is on point, your graphics are great and I love your intro. Keep it up my friend!

  49. Historical evidence from Egyptian texts, artworks and mummies suggests ancient Egypt was always ethnically diverse, so could not be classed as belonging to any one racial category. But it is worth noting that the skin-colour distinctions we have today didn’t exist in ancient Egypt. Instead, they simply classified themselves by the regions where they lived. Scholarly research suggests there were many different skin colours across Egypt, including what we now call white, brown and black. Much evidence shows how ancient Egypt was ruled and governed by various prominent black leaders. One is the powerful nobleman Maiherpri, who was alive during the reign of Thutmose IV. After his death, he was buried in the Valley of the Kings. We know of his skin colour from his mummy and from illustrated manuscripts, in which he appears darker skinned than the more widely circulated images of Egyptians.

    12
  70. I've got to say, I only found this channel 2 hours ago, but I'm hooked already! I've watched every video, and I'm either subscriber 491 or 496, but I feel feel like I'm in the 1st 500 of maybe 10 million subscribers! As long as you keep this format with great narration, editing, facts, and charisma, you are gonna break through the glass ceiling of YouTube and grab that brass ring to superstardom!!!
    12
  71. Yes do one on American Indian punishments
    12

    11
  74. Ahhh yes I've read about these comrades
    11
  75. Great educative video A little correction on some details i noticed; The Akans were in Gold Coast, present day Ghana and not Nigeria. Dahomey is in Benin and not Nigeria also
    11
  76. Wow, this video was suggested so I just started watching it. I didn't realize you weren't a mega popular chanel until I checked after. Well done, great content!
    11
  77. Amazing channel one of the best history channels I have found! Definatly getting my sub!

  83. I want to see one on the origin of spanking as a form of punishment
    9
  84. Great episode. Great channel 👍

  85. It's not what the creator thinks at all. It's YouTube, which gets hammered by ignorant zealots that believe that using anatomically correct terms (such as the words "penis" and "vagina") is "sexually explicit", and therefore should not be allowed. Well since I can't call this thing sticking out of the middle of my face a nose, what shall I call it?
    9
  86. Fascinating!
    9
  87. The first small channel I’ve found that’s actually good. You got a long road ahead but a nice one. Keep it up.

  102. When Aztec is mentioned, the first thing that comes to my mind is the zuma game 😅
    7
  103. Thank you for the video. You have a narrators gift. If i may make one critique please, the video doesn't need so many camera click sounds or these brief distortions, for me personally it detracts from your spoken word and i found it hard to watch fully. Thank you.
    7
  104. Spanish Inquisition punishments please. When I was growing up, this was always used in skits or jokes. In reality, I think the Spanish Inquisitions brought some crazy new definitions to pain and suffering.

  133. Is everything Nigeria to this person, first the Akans are an ethnic group in modern Ghana and part of the Ivory Coast, at the time, they had conquered parts of Togo as well. Even in the map shown the Dahomey clearly lied in modern day Benin, not in Nigeria. That's all I caught, but I liked the short documentary anyways.
    4
  134. I believe House of the dead ( which is an outstanding book ) was written by Dostoevsky back in the 1800's, decades before the Soviet Union was even formed. Dostoevsky was given a last minute reprieve by the CZAR and rather than being executed was sentenced to some time in a Czarist penal colony. The book is a semi autobiographical story about his experience there. An outstanding read. The Great Terror by Robert Conguest is a a good place to start to get a basic feel for what life was like during you might say high Stalinism and there is an excellent chapter in the book about what life was like in the Gulag under Stalin during the purges. A day in the life of Ivan Denosovich and the Gulag Archipelago are must reads if one is truly interested in this topic. Hope this helps.

  141. You must be a hero! What did YOU already do to proove your heroism? Mouthing strong words is easy! Those 'inmates' had no time to plan conspiracy! They were underfed, misclothed, deprived of sleep and anything comfortable and under constant stress! They were glad if they had 2 minutes of peace and calm for breathing. Sandpit hero!

  175. A Day In History, could you try and clean up of some of these comments? Many are just plain racist its disgusting and I'm sure that's not the message you are trying to spread

  176. A few years ago, a man was walking along a beach in the Netherlands and found what turned out to be a Neanderthal spear point. He gave it to the museum and their scientists noticed the base of the point was covered in a black tar-like substance. After analysis, it was found to be a tar derived from Birch oil which was extracted from the bark of the tree. After experiments were carried out, the scientists determined that the bark needed to be cooked at around 400 degrees Celsius to extract the oil from it. This discovery, along with fragments of Iron Pyrites found at some Neanderthal sites suggests they certainly did make fire as and when they needed to. All the best and keep up the good work mate!

  177. Good vid man damn

  178. Perhaps you should make it clear that not all the footage in this presentation is historical, but some is taken from a commercial film. I am thinking especially of the end, showing American soldiers and actors pretending to be inmates.

  185. Thanks, A Day In History.

  186. Stop comparing. Don't discount someone else's misery just because you feel another is worse than the other. We ALL had our own fair share of misery including these people who been through hell while being on earth

  187. You can read the Animal Farm, which Orwell, a guy who fought in the Spanish civil war, a decided Leftist, wrote about the West. A Tomb for Boris Davidovich, will give you a historical perspective on totalitarianism, and moral torture, in All its wonderful colors, across the spectrum.

  188. modern historians are claiming he may not have been mad. Just that he despised the senate, and his actions were to mess with them and keep them in fear by behaving unpredictable.

  189. "Unspeakable", yet... here you speak. I truly enjoy the irony of it all.
