  1. I am new to this channel and i agree. I have an explanation why Dan's videos are so good. This is distant long ago time history we know very little and what we know is very fragmented. But anything we discover has a much more profound meaning than say what happened 500 years ago or even 1000 years ago. Because of these two factors paleo history and bronze age history must be treated with the right form of respect, an almost spiritual deference, a certain humility and simplicity and serious. There is no room for fiction, anachronism and egocentrism of the narrator. It takes the right tone of voice the right aura to approach these fragile subjects to make them speak and reveal. Especially it's important to say "we don't know what they were doing". All this to say that Dan found that voice, balance and simplicity. It's like entering a brotherhood or a temple. The form here is more important than the content because we have so little content from these distant pasts. I especially appreciate no fiction, no gaming, no anachronism.
