  1. That sad part is that the "black washing of history hurts actual Africans by promoting a false history and resentment against them for something white liberals are doing. If these SJWs wanted to help them they should make TV shows and documentaries based on actual African kingdoms like Ethiopia and Benin that have fantastic histories.

  2. "Mongol-ish... Persian-ish... Turkish-ish"....haha love that very accurate description of the Timurids

  3. Corrections/Clarifications: TYPO The Dacian two-handed sword is spelled "Falx" not a Flax. TYPO Vlad the Impaler/Dracula dates should read 1431-1477 not 1431-1437 Romania began WW2 neutral seeding territory to stay out of the war as mentioned in the video. However, they then joined the Axis in November 1940 after a coup. They later switched sides and joined the Allies after another coup as mentioned in the video. I incorrectly made it appear as if they were neutral before joining the Allies. Romania Joined the EU in 2007 not 2004. In 2004 they joined NATO.

  4. Immensely interesting to see how the Romans saw the Germans at that time

  5. Check out my video on the 3 kingdoms period of Chinese history (between the Han and Jin dynasties) https://youtu.be/18K99HXTp7o Thank you guys for all the great feedback :D Mistake- the phrase "mandate of heaven" is first recorded to have been used by the Zhou dynasty, after their overthrow of the Shang.(not used by Xia) Note: 1. The canal referenced as being built by Qin Shi Huang is the Lingqu Canal....NOT the Great Canal -fyi :) Thought I should clarify that because people are incorrectly correcting that Qin did not build the great canal(the video does not say he did)... he built the Lingqu Canal 2. Kublai Khan Technically he was the fifth Khagan "great Khan" (not a king) of the whole Mongol empire...in practice, he only effectively ruled the Yuan...But he was still greatly involved in the politics of the whole realm-spending troops, resources, backing factions etc.... That is why I showed the two different labeled maps-thought people could figure that out if curious. 3. I did not Qing Manchurians (my mistake) ...trying to keep it to 7 mins is tough

  6. Awesome video-was fun collaborating with you on this video! Love your animations as always!
    662
  7. The Austro-Hungarian empire was really unique, knew very close to nothing about their navy before watching your video. Great detailed video! Good explanation of the strategy
    592
  8. Indo-Aryan theory https://youtu.be/MctZeIxvac4 Aryan migration/invasion has by far been the most commented part of this video, if you would like to further discuss that portion of this video, here is a more detailed response video I made...:) I left our the Maratha Empire (or the Maratha Confederacy) They were the major dominant empire during a large period of British East India Company expansion....They ended in 1818-while the Moghal Empire limped along (much smaller than on map in mid 1800's) Here is link to wiki on Maratha Empire (I should have mentioned them in this video)...but got overlooked on my notes were I was trying to fit everything 5,000 years into 12 mins. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maratha_Empire

  9. Very interesting, I learned a lot, did not know 85-90% of this. Loved the animations. This video, the Hatshepsut and the chocolate video are my 3 favorites you have made :)
    491
  10. Awesome drawing of the hecatoncheires...Loved the video :)!
    425
  11. Bronze, water, Writing & Sweet sweet lapis lazuli. What's not to love :D Awesome video!

  12. Great video! Good example with the Korean translator :)
    353
  13. Correction at 1:45 the Johor Sultanate was based in the far South of the Malay peninsula and not Sumatra. Thank you for those that pointed this out :) I misread one of the reference maps ;( Contemporary Aceh Sultanate is shown in highlighted area NOTE 1 Some people think it was actually a Malay Tiger that the prince saw while hunting...because he was unfamiliar with both he was told it was a lion. Or maybe an extinct type of lion (like middle eastern lion) that has not been around for a long time. ....or he just made it up...and thought lion city sounds cool
    315
  14. Fantastic video! makes so much sense that they reached the Americas-I think biggest question now is how often? Love your animations and drawings
    274
  15. READ THIS BEFORE LEAVING A COMMENT!!! At 40 seconds in I say "the Catalan kingdom of Aragon" That does not mean that all of Aragon was Catalan, Barcelona and a significant part of this kingdom was Catalan. I am not inferring that the Catalans were all of that kingdom, or were the Royal family, only that they were a major part. LISTEN CLOSELY ---War of Spanish Succession was not Catalonia vs Castilla, I am saying they picked the loosing side in that civil war.
    239
  16. Awesome video-those first voyages were surely some epic adventures.
    230
  17. :) would have been a shame if it was any other color
    225
  18. Loved the animated little Hatshepsut & Thutmose. You really brought this time period to life with. Awesome video man!
    199
  19. READ THIS!! Misstated "Catalan Kingdom of Aragon" New updated version of the video, updated drawings & narration ( I am not sick anymore! ) Fixed a couple misstatements and unclear statements pointed out to me in the comments :) https://youtu.be/xlSQpC72zCI
    193
  20. Great video! Love the animations Ashoka is such an interesting figure...Thank for the hard work :)
    168
  21. I am panicked! Just like when the corduroy pants came back! JK
    163
  22. You really brought the scene to life! Great job!

  23. Jason Calacanis "I have a plan" =Total Chad...Take down the bastards awesome video (must watch till end)
    152
  24. Most likely a myth...but Romulus at least is probably loosely based on a real historical leader... archeology supports the timing for the 8th century BC for Rome's establishment and rapid growth....at that time essentially all Italian cities had King's so it would make sense that a king founded this city in the 8th century, probably from Alba Longa too...after all their histories were destroyed, some of the oral traditions were probably embellished and made more epic with Gods intervening etc... So probably there was a real chap maybe even named Romulus from Alba Longa who founded the city...but maybe the brother, she-wolf and the vestal virgin etc...were made up Thanks, I was thinking the Romans loved mosaics so I tried to go for a mosaic look for the video :)
    142
  25. Fantastic video man! liked the style of this one. Esarhaddon's life would make a great movie....Would love to see an Assyrian army in a big budget movie
    141
  26. READ THIS!!! This video in a nutshell is saying it is all about money-Catalans want more of it for themselves, Madrid wants to keep the tax situation the same...I don't state an opinion on what I believe. I find it hilarious I am getting so many angry comments thinking I am a Catalan nationalist because the flag I drew...or because I said the "Catalan kingdom of Aragon" (Catalans were a significant part of Aragon's history economy etc...)Many people just get mad and imagine I am saying things I did not say in the video. I hope both sides work something out were they both benefit. Me Encanta España, espero que se mantenga unificado. But I do appreciate so many people thinking this was a paid propaganda piece without listening-I guess that means it looks good enough quality that someone would pay for :D
    140
  27. That strategy of having the center troops move in slowly (keeping the Carthaginian elites almost engaged) while the sides mop up was pure genius!
    134
  28. awesome video man! Interesting about the shore increasing 100m every year that is pretty amazing
    129
  29. :) Glad you liked it
    125
  30. I tried a different style of drawing in this video, hope you guys like it :) If you like this video a lot a book I would recommend is the Chronicle of the Roman Republic (Philip Matyszak) I used that as the main source for this video.
    118
  31. Very interesting about the Iazyges, great video!
    113
  32. "Blessed are the cheesemakers"! :D Love a good manchego
    106
  33. Hahaha, True. Regular people don't...I have one friend who walks his cat ( it is pretty lazy and overweight) was kinda thinking of that chubby cat when I made that
    91
  34. Thanks :D I pretty much thought the same too..but while researching this video I started noticing there was some pretty distinctive way of dress for alot of the warriors on the pottery stone carving etc...so I tried to pick some of the more unique looking one from each to try to draw my little cartoon dudes from....I had a lot of fun making this one...I am super glad you liked it :D
    87
  35. Congratulations on 100k subscribers man! Interesting video too :)
    81
  36. haha, it does. Good description
    76
  37. Moral of the story...Consult the chickens!
    66
  38. You really brought the battle to life in this video! That last scene in Cannae with the tonnes of rotting flash disgustingly epic mayhaps? This would make a fantastic HBO style series....would love to see the battle of Cannae on the big screen too...I have no idea why it has not been done before(besides the couple Italian films) one of the most epic events in human history...but I am sure there are a couple more Transformers movies that need to be made first...again fantastic video!
    61
  39. Great video! Loved the anecdote about the palm tree, and animation I agree that the truth is somewhere in the middle in regards to tolerance, I think by modern standards we would say life in the Cordoba Caliphate was bigoted and intolerant...but by the standards of the time it was a tolerant regime
    59
  40. Such a sad end for Hannibal Great video man! You definitely did this epic battle justice. Bravo caballero!
    55
  41. I was a salvation army kid too,nothing fit perfectly, I felt quite fashionable if my clothes did not have holes in them.
    54
  42. The emperor and the assassin (1998) is one of my favorite foreign movies Red cliff (2008) is pretty good for a movie Both of these I feel are much more historically concerned than many of the other movies that focus on action and have lots of flying around. But could not recommend "The emperor and the assassin' more is a fantastic movie and really gives a complex picture of the unification of China by Qin...and the pros and cons.
    48
  43. ...haha....was I drunk maybe...I get a lot of drawing, editing, narrating done while enjoying a refreshing libation :) Maybe they time traveled from 1958 ...to 1947 to establish it in the past!...and then it ended...ok...well now I definitely am enjoying a gin and tonic while responding...but I would not rule out that I was or was not drinking during that typo :) Cheers Pranshul!....Hope you had a great weekend
    47
  44. Saudi Arabia has such a fascinating history...and such interesting times now I am very glad you liked it :)
    47
  45. 1. depends how you define class "a set or category of things having some property or attribute in common and differentiated from others by kind, type, or quality" "the system of ordering a society in which people are divided into sets based on perceived social  status" Both those definitions seem to work to me... 2. Interesting :) 3. Arya can be translated as  "noble", "not ordinary", "valuable", "precious", "pure"...seems pretty broad to me 4. yeah..yeah...Helena Blavatsky and all that....yeah Nazi's were/are retarded what's new? 5. Interesting 6. True....IMO which could be wrong I believe the aryan invasion was small and they were quickly absorbed...I think the British colonial racial based caste system theory is without much  basis....I also think that those that say there is no proof for any Migration is also ridiculous....everywhere on earth people have been migrating constantly.... I think there were migrations in and out of India even before Indus Valley CIV I also believe that the Aryans were not that different racially (compared to IVC) as the British tried to make out...That is why I drew the Aryans slightly lighter with dark hair (looking like you) I did not draw them as a bunch of white neo-nazi dudes (that would be dumb) I think we agree with eachother much more than you think :) I enjoyed reading your comment, have a great day :)
    44
  46. Thanks! Glad you liked it. 💀💀💀
    43
  47. Good suggestion :)
    37
  48. Some people think it was actually a Malay Tiger...but because he had never seen either he was told it was a lion
    36
  49. Well...both the Saba kingdom in modern-day Yemen and the kingdom of D'mt have been claimed to be Sheba. There are some theories that both where part of the same kingdom as I siad in the video (at minimum they have alot of trade with each other from the material culture) There are a lot of theories some even that D'mt was populated by the Sabeans in part or in whole. Again as I said in the video that is according to Ethiopian tradition that has been around for many years. I think there is a plausible argument for many of these theories that perhaps time will tell when more archeology has taken place in both those nations.
    34
  50. :D Well said! Pyrrhus and Sulla are two of my favorites...Such epic lives
    34
  51. Interesting video! I wonder what the thought process behind the first guy to domesticate a cow type ancestor was...."I want that big fella to do my work and he is probably tasty too" maybe something like that...and hence the first Butcher Bill emerged :)
    33
  52. This video would be ten times longer if I included every empire that size that ever existed in India....If I did this as work and not as a hobby I would have time to make longer videos like that Thank you for the dislike :) Have a nice day
    33
  53. João Duarte  I hope you accept my sincere apologies, I very much lazily covered the period of Iberian union in this video.  I meant no offense, was merely trying to finished the video quickly and did not want to delve into Battle of Alcântara and Portuguese politics too much- the red and yellow was just a lazy artistic choice while drawing. On a separate note you look like you could be my father's identical twin when he was younger (he is 1/4 Portuguese, rest Basque, Spanish), you look like my younger brother too. I think my people came from near Ansião Portugal. Thank you for the kind correction. I made a newer version of the video today were I removed that part https://youtu.be/xlSQpC72zCI Thank you for your comment
    33
  54. Oooops...Thank you :) maybe I was subconsciously thinking about medieval melee combat :D
    32
  55. The last emperor (1987) about the last emperor of the Qing is also really good...kinda depressing...but really good
    32
  56. Great comment! :)
    32
  57. Thank you! Well...that's the voice I got :)
    30
  58. How/when did horses get to the Indian subcontinent? Why is the Indus Valley script so drastically different from Sanskrit? In my video, I never make the claim "Aryan Immigration theory is taught ... mean(s) it is correct" Thank you for your comment :)
    29
  59. Well made video, Interesting life! (Note: Don't move to Albuquerque New Mexico) I too was a CAD drafter (mechanical)

  60. When the Visigoths arrived in Spain they took over, but the majority of the population was still descendants of the Romans/Iberians...However, the majority of the warrior class nobility was all Visigoth for a couple centuries. After the Islamic conquest of Spain, the few Visigoths that stood behind (mostly in the north/west and were not killed or fled to France) gradually integrated with the local population
    28
  61. mesoamerica is a good suggestion...When I was a kid I was obessed with the maya, inca, Aztecs Olmecs...collected a bunch of national geographic magazines about digging up those sites...loved the illustrations
    27
  62. @YouTube Addict @KetchupBot 404 3rd degree murder is a law in only 3 states (including Minnesota) it is the same(very similar) to depraved heart murder. Essentially is the same as the example in this video of driving on the sidewalk. Using force with the disregard of human life (but not with the specific intent to kill)
    25
  63. I believe according to the mainstream view by Chinese state archeology the Erlitou culture is the basis for the Xia legends...The Erlitou seem to have made large strides in irrigation after major flooding- this could have been sensationalized by written accounts many hundreds of years later to create the Xia....But never know the Erlitou culture may have called themselves the Xia-it has not been proven one way or the other. Probably like the Trojan war with all the gods etc, is based on the Mycenaean civilization. Most western history sources just say they are made up, but I think it will generally be seen that they where based (maybe loosely) on the Erlitou culture
    25
  64. Daniel Yustos  To your first "mistake" read the pinned comment at the top, I wrote when I posted the video To the second point I clearly say "two rival claimants for the Spanish throne"=succession war-"unfortunately for the Catalans they picked the losing side"....Those statements are correct-picking the losing side clearly implies there are two sides to pick from...i.e the Catalans were not vs the rest of Spain ....Listen closer :)
    24
  65. @green forest I pretty much don't have the time and/or do not want to moderate my comment section.  The one thing I always block comments is if I see someone threatening violence... also posting links to scams or shady websites.  So I guess 3 things. @Robert There is a bit of that already :)

  66. Athens had the first Democracy (No elected Head of State Senate etc...) The Romans voted for representatives the consul, tribune of the plebs, Senate questor etc.... The Athenians would bring the entire male citizen population to vote on every topic from should we go to war? to what percent should we tax olive oil? The Roman elected officials made all the decisions for the people
    17
  67. There was a 1998-2000 border war/dispute that happened. Also from 1961 till 1991 Eritrea was involved in all the cold war proxy fighting, where many regions where fighting with eachother, from what I read the independence referendum and period after Mengistu Haile Mariam was more or less peaceful...compared to before and the later border war
    17
  68. Thanks, man I appreciate it!

  69. Awesome video man...makes me what to get a sword :)

  72. Золотой Кабан  Hi,.Here are reference pictures that I used for the borders of the JIN Dynasty...I am not in favor of any Chinese claims over the Korean peninsula .... I apologize if I made any mistake...these images all show the Jin dynasty in the northern part of the Korean peninsula...so for the borders in this video I chose to go with what seemed to be in the majority of the images showed http://www.tripchinaguide.com/public/upload/photo/jin-dynasty/img_402_d20131015093454.jpg http://www.face-music.ch/nomads/map_xianbei2.jpg http://www.zum.de/whkmla/histatlas/china/wjin.gif https://image.slidesharecdn.com/2013csemasslecture-140221223704-phpapp01/95/2013-china-a-civilisation-or-nationstate-12-638.jpg?cb=1393022390 This video is supposed to give a broad overview of Chinese history and not make any political points about borders, and I have no motivation to promote any of that type of agenda....Even if they had been there in the Jin Dynasty that is a terrible argument to justify any action now... That would be like if Spain wanted California from the USA because they have once conquered it...or Italy wanting to take Germany back because the Romans had it Hope you have a great day :)

  73. Mahadev Reddy First question is quite easy to answer. The Sumerians did not yet have horses...They used Onagars(wild donkeys) with a war cart...Not very effective weapon of war...Chariots invaded Sumeria later from the East (Mitanni Empire)The Mitanni would not have traded with Indus valley or even southern Mesopotamia (who lacked Chariots for some time afterwards. Second...I can't think of the same language Vietnamese and Turkish have adopted a completely different script for their language...Although possible I think it highly unlikely as there is not ancient example I can think of where the same language adopted a completely different script (sharing nothing in common)....all the cities gets destroyed/abandoned and then that is the time they make a script change? It is possible but I think unlikely. If Indus valley script ever gets deciphered, that would be fascinating...I am sure there are a few surprises for everyone in store
    16
  74. Haha...I think I got those crossed in my mind while recording that
    16
  75. Aweomse man! Glad you liked it I watch all your videos, especially liked your France video :) So cool you ran into my channel-Thanks!
    16
  76. Awesome! Glad you liked it :D that is exatly why I made this...I have read a couple books on Chinese dynasties...but then they (the order) gets jumbled in my head a little. After making this pretty sure they will stay lined up correctly in my head :)
    15
  77. Thanks! :)

  78. I believe that is generally the case, I believe the odds were stacked against Mugabe...To me it seems that he made a genuine effort to create an egalitarian society when he first entered office. When a leader believes his life is in danger and you are dealing with foreign terror attacks, I don't care what color one is I believe the leader will get more authoritarian...a lot of the eastern European block dictators became brutal with far less provocation...it's human nature.
    15
  79. True...Spain has more than tripled muslim population in a little over ten years when I first was in España about 11ish years ago, Muslims were only about 1% of the population. But they are still lower % than Germany, France, England. The majority have very recently arrived or were born there...they are much less established and organized than in the rest of Europe than Spain. In my experience they are much more in the shadows in Spain and are not politcally active like in Germany, England, France and Scandinavia...this can change very soon though.

  84. si, hablo castellano...pero mas o meno basico :)

  85. "concept of class' perhaps your concept...again it works with the dictionary definition (as stated above) In many history books class in defined different depending on the context and has a very broad definition that is why it can be used in so many contexts. Class is merely a grouping a category to differentiate or divide by social status So don't you think a Brahmin had a different social status compared to a Pariah? If so that fits a class system Even between different European countries a class system was widely different....but they are all generally referred to as classes....just means there was social groupings class is broad not narrowly defined The Caste system was a type of class system

  86. God bless us all that we do not destroy eachother, but respect and live with eachother...and build something better than our nature intends
    13
  87. You are correct they were not a democracy. In the video I say they had elected courts(legislature) and a constitution- So they were a constitutional monarchy ruled by Aragon. Even though not a democracy is more rights than the vast majority of medieval peoples had. Thank you for the comment :)

  89. You're the adventurous sort! Yeah, Potosi kinda seems like the dangerous crazy party...you don't want to miss Lots of reward...but most likely...far more risk But hay you only live once! When I read about Potosi, I thought gotta make a video on this...should be a movie or HBO series
    13
  90. :D Thank you ....It is very encouraging to hear so....I like to make videos on subjects that are ignored....love to draw and rant.....so happy to see Youtube viewers agree and disagree with me....we live in a marvelous age
    13
  91. Loved your video! Makes me want to go back to Spain, is really the place on earth were I have felt the most at home besides my hometown. I love the supermarkets in Spain...video was nostalgic :) Thanks!

  92. Donald Reed  Thank you, I do it all the drawings on my videos, I am a one man operation, making videos on my spare time. I have had some boring instructors too in my day...then I usually ended up drawing my notes in class. Glad you found my channel, just got started a several months ago

  93. That is a very good point, It will be very interesting to see what the geopolitical future of India has in store, they will definitely be a major player for many years to come

  95. Great suggestion! Both a video on all of the Mesopotamian civilizations and also one on Iraq in the 20th century are great topics I got a couple of half-done videos...but I will definitely put that on my list :)

  98.  @polokan  Felony Murder is when someone dies during the commission of a felony. Example: during a heist (felony) a bank teller gets crushed by the automatic safe door closing. But for the heist having taken place, the teller would not have died. Consequently in a jurisdiction with a felony murder Statute the bank robber would get charged with murder if anyone died because of the felony he committed. So in depraved heart murder or 3rd degree murder it is not a necessary factor that a felony was being committed.

  100. Very True...I believe that happens with many groups of people that they become judged by there most prominent members (usually bad ones) Genghis khan gave the mongols a bit of a bad reputation for a while...I think that has about worn off by now :)
    10
  101. Thanks Remy! I wish I would have known that on the pronunciation before making the video...Yes this is fascinating history...was so cool to see the scans of the Yucatan that showed that the cities were way bigger than originally thought. Glad you liked the video :)
    10
  102. Agreed that is a total lie. I have seen in soooooo many of my videos Northern Europeans and sub-Saharan Africans claiming to be just about everyone from East Asian dynasties, people in the Americas, middle east, India...and beyond (aliens, Atlanteans, lemurians, subterranean hollow earth dwellers and all sorts of nonsense)

  109. Peter Nelson Kublai was the fifth Khagan (Great Khan) of the Mongol Empire, technically he was in charge of the whole empire by title, but not by practice. That is why on the Yuan dynasty images I made display different territorial boundaries for the Yuan and the Mongol Empire at large(Kublai's Empire-correct by title) but later they became different specific entities. I did not want to take up a lot of video time explaining that so I showed the two different maps in the same image and thought...If people look into it they will quickly figure it out. I believe you are using the "most incorrect" assertation incorrectly :) But I can see why you got that impression-but I doubt most will :) Remember this video is called "All China's dynasties explained in 7 minutes (5,000 years of Chinese history)" if I went into detail like that on every point I could have it would be called "All China's dynasties explained in 2 hours + (5,000 years of Chinese history)"...It is very tough choosing how to phrase things when condensing so much history(to generalize correctly) Sorry to ramble on a bit...it is always easier to write more, than to be succinct :)

  110. Good point, I think many times each side tries to overly demonize the other....In the end I hope both sides focus on the future and work things out were both side are content. Were they can benefit everyone in España

  111. Thank you for the comment, you make some very good points. They don't want to pay federal taxes at all? If that is so that is a bit too far, it would be reasonable to want to pay a proportionate amount of taxes for their population size. Plus lower tax % may lead to overall increase in business and more over all yields for the gov in Madrid....I would personally like to see both sides negotiate a peaceful solution-I think the heavy handed tactics Madrid has been using is not going to help their cause. What do you think will happen?

  117. I agree is very sad. I have spent some time in Barcelona and rest of Spain as well, I love the nation I have Basques, Portuguese, Catalans and Castellaños in my family as well as the majority of my ancestry and would love nothing nothing more than to see all Iberians working together instead of at each other's throats. But if their is an area that knows how to suffer and survive it is there...I still have hope :)

  119. Very good question, I think that even though they were overrun by several different peoples, they were never heavily colonized after Roman times. The conquerors either formed a small ruling elite as with the Gepids and Avars or moved on to settle nearby areas. Despite the centuries that Transylvania was part of Hungry/or Austro-Hungry or a vassal the majority of the population was Latin-speaking. The Carpathian mountains are very formidable-which took the Romans deporting hundreds of thousands to drastically alter the demographics.

  121. This video is called "History of Zimbabwe (From Rhodesia to Mugabe coup)" I made this video in a single day and the focus is on the coup against Mugabe that was currently unfolding and I wanted to give a historical context to THAT event. I focused my research on the historical context for Mugabe. I genuinely feel sorry for you, that you imagined a perceived slight there (That is why I am replying to you) There is lots of great history in Africa but that was not the focus of this video the TITLE says "History of Zimbabwe (From Rhodesia to Mugabe coup)" that is a very specific time frame. If you want to ignore that, be overly sensitive and want to imagine other motivations for that decision... Then I am glad to see you go bye :)

  123. Athens was a democracy...not a republic. DO you know of an earlier confirmed example of a system of government where the people hold regular elections for representives to serve terms with a head of state? Democracies before this are common...but republic...I have not heard of one
    7
  124. Thanks! Great corrections Lawrence :) I picked the emperor of Sui picture from a mislabeled website...probably...also had paper money from the next dynasty on the i...I was close though :D Awesome history lots of details...I am glad you like the video

  125. Kyle Burris  "trawling through mountains of mucus" That sounds about right....When I made this video I was sick, had to edit out the coughing.... If my newer or older videos sound like that too then I guess that is just my voice...But was quite congested when I made this one.

  128. Jordi Borras Good Points. I was debating whether to include Franco, I might make a part two, because there seems to be a lot of interest on this topic. What do you think are the most relevant aspects of 19th century Spain that factor into this current independence movement?
    7
  129. It was a principality after it was a county, if you have a history book of Spain you can look it up Or online...county became principality after merger of the House of Barcelona and Aragon...is true :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principality_of_Catalonia

  136. @BeGoodNow5 3rd degree murder is a law in only 3 states (including Minnesota) it is the same(very similar) to depraved heart murder. Essentially it is the same as the example in this video of driving on the sidewalk. Using force with the significant disregard of human life, were that force could reasonably cause death (but not with the specific intent to kill) Which I believe fits the example you mentioned the excessive force he used on his neck (which is not standard police procedure anywhere) with the disregard of human life.

  140. The history of the modern nation called Ethiopia goes back for thousands of years...Going back to the Roman Empire the Aksumites were called Ethiopians etc... Same reason why I had a similar name for my videos on Korea China India etc...Long before they had there modern state names those areas of the world have a long history that was the crucible for the modern. It is funny I get comments similar to yours for every country I do from 1 or 2 people

  141. Your Welcome :) This one I slowly worked on over a couple weeks, It was a lot of fun researching-I learned a lot making it. The drawings I made in the evenings during the week when watching breaking bad episodes with my dad.

  142. Awesome man!-So happy you liked it :)

  147. Listen closer mate. 1:15 I say"the Turks who have waged a long guerrilla war, against the Kurds of eastern Turkey who have resorted to terrorism not only against military targets but civilian" "the Kurds of eastern turkey who have resorted to terrorism" "against miliatry targets" The Turks have a military the Kurds do not I agree I could have phrased better, but if you listen closely I am saying the Kurds are using terrorism against the Turks That is why they are opposed to independence of Kurdistan. I am also guessing you interpreted the word "waged" as "initiated" Is my fault for not being more clear, I understand why you were confused

  148. Bonan Zhang  I have very fond memories of watching The emperor and the assassin...more than any other movie in the genre I felt very immersed in the world while watching it-very realistic character motivations in my opinion.

  149. HEY! No problem man, I sincerely believe your channel is fantastic! I think it could only be a benefit for someone to hear it. I had an idea about a week ago... just remembered it again! :D Would you be open to the idea of doing a concise 3-6 min narrative of the Islamic Spain...and I put that on my channel with my drawings in the background of your narration? and at the end, I'll say something like and if you enjoyed that and want to learn more head over to flash point history YouTube channel and Itunes Podcast I really think that if many of my 11K+ followers heard your podcast they would love it! Just an idea...totally open to changing it maybe an interview (havent done one but you could be the first!) would love to promote your channel more :D

  150. Thank you-Glad you found my channel Luis :)

  151. "Biohazard customers" hahaha I remember them some you could smell when they walked in the store. Stalkers-I felt really bad for some of the girls, just trying to do there job and would have multiple guys fall in love just because she was polite, smiled, remembered their names and gave them a hot cup of coffee...then some guys think she is hitting on them and they get super obsessed.Would have included that if I had remembered in this video Headphones guys- remember a few that were in those super tight bicycle outfits super uppity....usually got espressos or campanas...so normally were not a problem... "delusional customer" hahah >D hit the nail on the head with that one Wow...You brought back a lot of memories with your comment :) I mostly remember those years very fondly...I think is a great experience for anyone to get to know human nature Work at a busy coffee shop and you will experience such a kaleidoscope of human nature that most people rarely see

  155. "the word Ethiopia came recently in 1913" that is just flat out wrong...Do some research-Hint the word was used in antiquity by the Greek and Romans The city of Axum is in modern-day Ethiopia and the Axumite heartland is in the Ethiopian highlands. Eritrea was part of the Axumite empire for a time but spent hundreds of years out side of the Solomonic dynasties territory and earlier Axum. At first I was going to do a video about the history of both in 1 video, but as I did my research too many periods (Egyptian Ottoman and Italian rule in Eritrea for example) make their history to distinct to lump it in and it deserves its own video.
    5
  156. Some people think it was actually a Malay Tiger...but because he had never seen either he was told it was a lion by his tutor that was with him. Or maybe an extinct type of lion (like middle eastern lion or Barbary lion) that has not been around for a long time. ....or he just made it up...and thought lion city sounds cool

  157. SKPjoe Coursegold Thanks!
    5
  158. Jose Carrera Thank you for saying I have a nice voice! Manifesto...I wrote this on a paper towl...I think you are giving me too much credit :) This video in a nutshell is saying it is all about money-Catalans want more of it for themselves, Madrid wants to keep the tax situation the same...I don't state an opinion on what I believe. I find it hilarious I am getting so many angry comments thinking I am a Catalan nationalist because the flag I drew...or because I said the "Catalan kingdom of Aragon" Many people just get mad and imagine I am saying things I did not say in the video. I hope both sides work something out were they both benefit. Me Encanta España, espero que se mantenga unificado. But I do appreciate so many people thinking this was a paid propaganda piece without listening-I guess that means it looks good enough quality that someone would pay for :D
    5
  159. Valarie Garcia True. That is how I paid my way through a couple a degrees. Because of the very early 4:30 AM opening shifts and very late closing shifts I was able to work almost full time and pay off my education while attending university.

  161. Haha..I think your high on your own supply there buddy....I think you missed where I said the early histories where burnt by the Gauls and this is a mixture of confused folk memory, legend and outright lies (IE loosely based on what probably happened)...but I am guessing your pompous self did not watch the whole video...or your just a terrible listener... :)

  165. Nope. Athens was a democracy. A republic is different than a democracy. ...look it up :)
    4
  166. Haha...true did not think of that... His full name was Abu'l-Fath Jalal-ud-din Muhammad Akbar...but commonly was referred to as Akbar So I guess he was like don't bother with the name just say I'm great :)
    4
  167. Google the difference between a REPUBLIC and a democracy like Athens :)

  168. Thank you, I really got the idea for making this video because I could not find a short and unbiased video on Saudi history on YouTube...So I decided to make one. I have my biases but I tried really hard to keep that out on this video...because I think there is a lot of value for people to understand past events without there being clear good or bad guys. I am humbled by your kind compliment...God Bless you and your family :)

  169. Nick S Recorded new audio for it and updated the drawings, hopefully more clear and less muddled and quiet...I think I was holding mic way too close during this video https://youtu.be/xlSQpC72zCI

  170. Dr. TeaRex Thanks for the useful feedback, I do need to work on my pronunciation I just recorded another version of this video Hopefully with better audio, and updated drawings. I tried to speak a little higher pitch that I normally do and not hold the mic so close to my mouth...I think sounds better Let me know what you think https://youtu.be/xlSQpC72zCI
    4
  171. Good corrections Just finished a new 3 min version of the same video about 45 mins ago I fixed the "catalan kingdom of Aragon" misstatement in the video https://youtu.be/xlSQpC72zCI Thanks for the comment! :)

  179. Some are all or mostly Spaniard...and many Spaniards are quite dark...just look at Cortes, he is darker than many mestizos.... The Mediterranean man is quite dark when he lives his life soldiering True fact the Meso Americans did not call the Spaniards "white men" like in north America...they called them the bearded ones...BC Indians don't really grow proper beards
    4
  180. Well...he did implement a Soviet model...there were famines and genocides... You would be incorrect in assuming that as I am inferring every state that had followed the Soviet model had genocides and famine...they did not There were famine and genocide in the Ukraine in the former USSR. It could also be considered the Stalinist purges included a few genocides. “The soviet model, famines and genocide included.” That is a factual statement in regard to Mengistu Haile Mariam If you think it is inferring something else you are over-extrapolating The Soviets beat the nazis and it was not all as bad as anti-soviet propoganda...but there was undeniably some very bad episodes with a disastrously implemented command and control system. Well if you base your respect off of disliking that statement well I disagree with your methodology for respect...enjoy though it just your opinion...and I have mine :)

  181. European history and biochemistry interesting combination...bring back Greek fire :) Thanks I was trying to find a quick overview of India's history in a video...did not really find anything close that I liked...so thought I'll make one...It was a fun project....glad you liked it
    4
  182. Thanks :) Yeah, a follow up on Al-Andalus would be fun to make. That is an interesting idea about the revolution...the colonial scrip (currency abolished as a cause for war ) and Spanish involvement in the war are a couple of things I can think of off the top of my head that doesn't get mentioned that often. There are definitely many super interesting instances in history that are fascinating-that is what is so great about the internet, that you don't have to focus on the same old re-hashed bits and explore the ignored parts.

  183. Awesome Javier! Thank You for watching :) I am glad you found my channel!

  184. Here are two examples...there are more showing Zeila as part of Axum.... Maybe it is all a conspiracy...but that seems to be the consensus during the reign of King Caleb I have ZERO reasons to promote one view or another...I just show what my research shows as best I can https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ff/04/79/ff04798e777d69e04a192a4bcd8849c8.jpg https://nfraaclcenterwhyafrica.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/himyar-and-marib-axum-colonies.jpg?w=379&h=230

  190. Thanks, I am glad you found my channel :)

  191. That would be interesting...it funny right now I just finished having dinner, and I was asked nothing is really happening in Liberia for a while now...and I was like...Uhhh I dunno, Charles Taylor was a few years back....that was about 2 hours ago. I definitely write that on my list ( of things to research and read about), they definitely have a unique way their nation was formed.
    3
  192. You are right. I way oversimplified that, to the point were it is not technically correct. I made an updated version of the video were I take that part out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlSQpC72zCI Thank you for the kind correction :)
    3
  193. So glad you liked it enough to watch it 3 times :)
    3
  194. where in the video do I say Wahhabism is a religion? ...I don't listen closer to what I say....I am sorry your parents raised you to be so rude, especially when you are wrong Wahabism is an ideology, when I say "converted to Wahhabism" is where I am guessing you got confused In the English language you can use the word convert for " person who has been persuaded to change their religious faith or other beliefs." ideology = other beliefs Again I am sorry you are ignorant, a bad listener and rude. You can always learn and change...I hope you grow more wise and gain better manners later in your life

  195. Brandon Redmond  Love prehistory too! Gobekli tepe I find one of the most fascinating places in the world...I have a huge respect for our far ancient ancestors-I believe they will continue to surprise academics of what they were capable of. Probably not right away...but I think I might want to do future videos on the individual dynasties(maybe just the earlier ones) I do appreciate the correct pronunciations, I do appreciate correct diction...I always try to get better with languages :)

  199. Read my pinned comment.-I wrote right after posting the video I guess you just ignore it and right your comment "At 40 seconds in I say "the Catalan kingdom of Aragon" That does not mean that all of Aragon was Catalan, Barcelona and a significant part of this kingdom was Catalan. I am not inferring that the Catalans were all of that kingdom, only that they were a major part."

  200. Lucas Amorim  Your not wrong, Haha, it is weird in this one. It might be because I was sick when recorded this one...or that is just my voice. Thanks. Have a good one!

  201. Haha...True. Had those. Love your username Walpole!

  202. Thank you man! I appreciate that :)

  205. I did...that is why I made 2 videos about the Marathas later Also, I should probably remake this one two at some point :)

  206. Congratulations! Your channel is very unique and super creative :)

  207. Thanks! Surface tablet so is pretty much a full computer...I use sketchbook pro for the drawings and Microsoft movie maker for the editing and I use a Blue Microphones Snowball ICE Microphone which I think sounds really good for around 50 bucks

  208. Thanks! I am glad you enjoyed my Saturday morning project :)
    3
  209. ??????? I clearly say "two rival claimants for the Spanish throne"=succession war-"unfortunately for the Catalans they picked the losing side"....Those statements are correct----I don't say anything like you say----What lie are you referring to?? You are terrible at listening-you hear what you want, to make yourself mad :( You are forgiven if you don't speak English as a first language...If English is your first language you have no excuse for not understanding

  210. Some people think it was actually a Malay Tiger...but because he had never seen either he was told it was a lion. Or maybe an extinct type of lion (like middle eastern lion) that has not been around for a long time. ....or he just made it up...and thought lion city sounds cool

  215. Thanks :D

  216. Well keep a link to the video in case you ever need to take part in a cage fight, or boxing match. Was sick when made that one, (had to edit out the coughing) also I do think I was holding mic way to close Made another version yesterday with my non-sick raspy voice If this one makes you angry...then that is just my voice I guess https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlSQpC72zCI

  217. Video software? I used windows movie maker..is old software, but it is free and very reliable. I think is definitely better than many of the paid ones.

  224. It is debatable, it is shown on some map and not on others IMO I believe they probably allied in a similar fashion to the Gepids and joined in on the raiding/invasions of Rome. Rather than being conquered. https://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1226417/FULLTEXT01.pdf https://www.ancient.eu/uploads/images/3051.gif?v=1485680870

  229. Thanks! This was a fun video to make on a Saturday morning. It's fascinating the little changes that will change one crime into another
    2
  230. Listening to your WOTW Episode One right now....20 mins in and I think I hooked! I have not made one yet...That is a great idea. I am excited to learn more about it...going to take some notes :) I am currently working on a video about a city in Latin America and made one on Ancient Mexico https://youtu.be/GY4tnSov_3E I think it is very true what you said about that to truly understand Cotes and the Spanish one has to look at the Islamic conquest of Spain. I spent six weeks in Spain and Portugal last year and there is so much fascinating history everywhere there Thanks for leaving the comment...Definitely going to be watching your videos WOTW for the next couple hours
    2
  231. !!! I have been so surprised, never thought this video would even get 1/4 of that many views :)
    2
  232. Mas o menos, si. https://youtu.be/90-aHsOi11E
    2
  233. I called it 5,000 years of history because I decided to include the Longshan culture and other stone age civilizations in this video....I did not call the video 5,000 years of recorded/written history. In the video I show the Xia with the corresponding Erlitou culture name-Which the Xia myths were probably based on. 5,000 looks a lot nicer than 3500 in the video title, and if you include the stone age DAWENKOU culture I first show in the video it is 6,000, but again 5000 looks better-I am talking about 5000years of China's past...hahaha CCP propaganda, yeah right
    2
  234. Thanks, it was fun making brought back memories :)
    2
  235. God bless you too :)

  236. haha, parece um rosto

  237. You are correct
    2
  238. Thanks :) Tired my best...I left out the Maratha Empire was my biggest mistake. I think I will redo this one eventually
    2
  239. Thanks for the great comment! I had always incorrectly thought Rio de la Plata was older for some reason...I wonder if the split up, of the viceroys, was effected at all by Peru's declining silver output anachronistic is a great word, love vocabulary :) Yeah, I read about people using a lot of powdered coca...sounded like cocaine to me :)....So cocaine is probably just the isolated element that gets you high from the coca plant...Did not know it was that specific
    2
  240. I did-I think I am going to make a corrected version of this video later this year-fixing several things I left out that should have been in
    2
  241. That is very interesting about the Pariahs...Buddhism may be the most positive out of the three for the population. It is interesting to see how at different times race or religion is used more as a divide and conquer mechanism
    2
  242. :D glad you found my channel, thanks

  243. Thank you for the feedback....Loved it! I do need to work on a more uniform style, good point will think about that for future videos. I think the burp may have been a cough I was holding back was feeling sick when made this video...had to edit out coughs. Love constructive criticism, Been making video not that long...Thank again!
    2
  244. Thank you! :) Just finished a new 3 min version of the same video about 30 mins ago https://youtu.be/xlSQpC72zCI Glad you found my channel

  245. Love Dali's paintings! My favorite quote of his was "I don't do drugs, I am drugs"
    2
  246. Thank you :)
    2
  247. Indeed
    2
  248. :D Glad you found my channel :)
    2
  249. Thank you, I tried my best, if I do a follow up video I'll get it right :)
    2
  250. That sounds very interesting period do you know of any good articles or documentaries on the period?
    2
  251. Nope is me, I drew it...Stick figures are the quickest thing to draw for a video...people did it before five years ago when CGP grey, on youtube...I'm sure you drew them too as a kid :) The two other people that mentioned CGP grey used lots of profanity...one was saying CGP grey owned the rights on stick figures...I had to laugh for a while after reading that one...I draw more detailed figures when I have a lot of time...but I make this in my spare time...so stick figures work when there is not much time. Thanks for the comment...I hope you have a lovely evening/day :)
    2
  252. Random Videos on my Hard Drive haha...true I made an updated version of this same video with different style figures Different voice over too (was sick when did this one) and talking wayyy to close to mic https://youtu.be/xlSQpC72zCI
    2
  253. True, one of the worst mistakes I made in a video leaving them out of this one. I made to other videos since this one on the Maratha confederacy though and a video on Chhatrapati Shivaji. I want to remake this one at some point and include them :)
    2
  254. hahaha...It kinda does look like that...
    2
  255. I am sorry but that is very poor logic. There is no deciphered Indian written language prior to 1500 BC...that they later used a unique word for horse is no proof that they had horses before 1500 BC...It is an archeological question not one of linguistics with the horses...there is no remains of horses dated before 1500 BC in India....They could be there but no one has found them yet
    2
  256. Ill email you :) at jason.v.goodwin@outlook.com

  257. Thanks :D

  258. Thanks Antonia!

  259. Do you think it is the volume is way too high, or would be better without it completely?
    2
  260. Thanks :)
    2
  261. Until the 20th century, their kings were called the Solomonic dynasty and claimed descent from King Solomon...that is a fact I made no claim that Solomons son went to Ethiopia, I merely stated the FACT that is what has been traditionally stated for hundreds of years...=FACT
    2
  262. Thanks! It has always surprised me how little the Mexican Drug war(now it has calmed down a bit) was not reported on when it was so close to our border in the USA. The sad thing is that the Mexican ruling elite use the cartels to distract the people away from their own corruption
    2
  263. Thank you Fluffy Unicorn!
    2
  264. Thanks, I agree When I recorded this I was sick had to edit out the coughs. And I was holding mic way to close to my mouth (still pretty new to making videos) I made a newer version updated non-sick voice, further from microphone Thanks for the Constructive criticism:) Hopefully my voice got better in this one https://youtu.be/xlSQpC72zCI
    2
  265. Good luck!
    2
  266. Yes I should have, I am thinking on doing a video on it soon :)
    2
  267. Awesome! glad you found the video :)
    2
  268. Thanks! I even made a simpler (one min less) version yesterday, with updated drawings and voice over(had sick voice when made this one) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlSQpC72zCI Glad you found my channel :)

  269. Thank you Sean

  270. Good suggestion-that would be fun

  271. :)

  272. Just made another version, hopefully voice is better...was sick when made this one...so voice was a bit raspy https://youtu.be/xlSQpC72zCI
    2
  273. Thank you :)
    2
  274. "dump shyt"...well bieng called that from someone that can't spell is a bit of an honor :) Do I even hear myself? yes...you clearly don't At the end of the video I ask for your opinions, I don't state mine

  275. Thanks, I agree When I recorded this I was sick had to edit out the coughs.

  277. Thank you! I am glad you liked it :D
    2
  278. Thanks! quit a couple years ago (3 or 4)...day I recorded this one was feeling sick....had to edit out the coughing...that might be it. Or that's just my voice :)
    2
  279. Hahaha...coloring the areas on the map wrong for a ethnic region....Have you ever noticed that different globes/maps use different colors for countries...? colors They are arbitrary.....Google Kurdistan map-see how many different colors you see-you will get a seizure. This is the funniest nit-picky comment I have received....well maybe the one that said my accent showed that I was an undercover agent for the Catalans was funnier...but your close
    2
  280. Your completely wrong Sad to see you believe something that doesn't agree with you is "anti-white"-that is pretty simple minded of you I believe in fiscal conservationism, states rights, very pro gun, securing the borders(still very pro vetted legal immigration) and constitutional literal-ism That does not have to mean I believe in a theory that is very loosely based on linguistics and not DNA
    2
  281. "something in between" I think that is a reasonable statement
    2
  282. Did not know that about Ovid that is pretty cool
    2
  283. "Stfu." Fine manners. I am sure your family is very proud :) (your probably a nice guy in real life though) Sounds like you would enjoy living in an authoritarian state. You should make a video of your own instead of calling for the end of a discussion. Discussing ideas is how one gets rid of the bad and elevates the good.
    2
  284. :) Thanks! My middle name is Sam too(shortened)...fantastic name I enjoyed the conversation too, I will definitely watch the video you sent me the link to if I ever get around to making another video on the topic. I have no strong opinion on the matter just want to learn, and see what people think. Best of wishes to you and your family, happy memorial day, and I hope you have a great week!
    2
  285. The second one sounds really good-Strong and sweet
    2
  286. nasr ali  Thanks! Glad you found it :)
    2
  287. The only "bullshit" is going on in your head. The video does not say that no human lived in India before 3300 BC. That is the early stages of the Indus valley civilization. It seems like you are a very poor listener and imagine things to make yourself angry...I feel sorry for you....have a nice day :)
    2
  288. haha...pinche pinguino-could be translated as fucking penguin
    2
  289. Thanks, is pretty embarrassing especially because I have spent time there and I am part Basque (my family would be ashamed) Just made another version, (with my normal voice) was sick when made this one...was a bit raspy...hopefully is better :) tried to fix couple little errors to :) https://youtu.be/xlSQpC72zCI

  290. I am not Romanian :)

  291. FBH I started listening to it...seems interesting I will check it out, Spanish was my first language as a child...is a little rusty now- But I still understand 85-90%. Going to bed now, but will watch tomorrow or this weekend when I get time. Will be at the top of my watch list Thanks
    2
  292. I did not say the Iberian Peninsula divided into 5 kingdoms???? I said that in 1469 there were 5 kingdoms in the Iberian peninsula...big difference I never said Portugal formed in 1469 that is when Fernando and Isabel married. You should listen closer...
    2
  293. Happy New year Grigor! Glad you liked the video :)
    2
  294. Awesome! Thanks Man! :D
    2
  295. Athens had the first Democracy (No elected Head of State, Senate etc...) The Romans voted for representatives the consul, tribune of the plebs, Senate, questor etc.... The Athenians would bring the entire male citizen population to vote on every topic from should we go to war? to what percent should we tax olive oil? The Roman elected officials made all the decisions for the people
    2
  296. Hopefully my newer Indian history videos are better....going to redo this one one day....leaving the Marathas out was a "caca de perro" moment
    2
  297. I believe Chronicle of the Roman Republic 2003 I think that was my primary source for most of the info in this video
    2
  298. ...""I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: 'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!' Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away""

  309. You are right I poorly/incorrectly stated that in this video I made a new version of the video were I fix that...updated the drawings and a new voice over where I am not sick Thanks for the comment-and constructive criticism Have a lovely day :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlSQpC72zCI

  313. do you think is would be reasonable to say that Goguryeo is both Korean and Chinese? Because they were an ancestor of both (north chinese and north korean) but completely different from both modern people? I don't think either can justifiably exclude the other in the case of Goguryeo-both inherited elements of it

  314. Fixed that error in this updated version of video :) https://youtu.be/xlSQpC72zCI

  315. I know, I was just talking with my Dad about how long ago the Texas Churchshooting and Vegas seem when it has only been a little over a week and six weeks ago that those happened....Feels much longer with how busy things have been. Almost feels like something big and unexpected is happening every other day or so...
    1
  316. Well I am a one man operation drawing and narrating from my living room... I was sick when narrated this and was speaking wayyy too close to microphone. Made a video with new narration....if you still don't like, then I would recommend you just avoid my channel then :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlSQpC72zCI

  317. Thanks :D

  318. Moldova is the modern country, Moldavia is the historical region/principality that does not exist anymore as a political entity. Two different things :)

  319. Thanks! :D

  320. In this video I don't say when Portugal was formed...When I go back to 1469 they are already there on the map(pre-existing) I guess something on the drawings made that appear unclear In updated version of video I label it (est 1139) when I go back to 1469 Thanks for the comment :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlSQpC72zCI

  324. Good point

  325. Was sick....had to edit out the coughs...was trying to hold it together Just made another version, (with my normal voice) hopefully voice is better...My voice might just sound scary and fake maybe :) https://youtu.be/xlSQpC72zCI

  326. Was sick when made that one, (had to edit out the coughing) also I do think I was holding mic way to close Made another version yesterday with my non-sick raspy voice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlSQpC72zCI

  327. Thank you :)

  328. When I recorded this I was sick had to edit out the coughs. And I was holding mic way too close to my mouth (still pretty new to making videos) I made a newer version updated non-sick voice, further from microphone I should sounds better in this one...if not...I guess that is just my voice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlSQpC72zCI Thanks for the comment :)

  334. Definitely a bot...most definitely But then again if your still high as shit are you imagining all of this...maybe your a bot simulating a high...and life is a simulation and everything you interact with is a bot :D

  335. Not even close Epi-meth-eus is not too hard (to say close to correct) and very similar to Prometheus...funny I have heard several people say it the way he did no idea why

  342. Thank you :D

  343. Unfortunately no...I was in Barcelona, Madrid, Malaga and Sevilla. The Alcazar palace in Sevilla and the Cathedral are beautiful examples of Islamic structures that you can clearly see the amalgamation and impact of Spanish culture. I stood the many hours over several days in both of those Buildings. Spanish history is really fascinating. Listening to episode 3 of the WOTW...I have learned a lot already, Is very interesting about how much Persian culture affected the Islamic world outside of Persia. I also did not have a clear picture of the context surrounding the Assassination of Ali....Love your pacing and references to other historical periods...Wehrmacht(disseminating tactical command), Lincolns speech, etc...
    1
  344. Thanks!...I think I did have one then
    1
  345. Indigenous peoples all over the world seem to be under assault...Also the smaller ethnic groups in China and the smaller ethnic groups in Europe and the Caucasus are disappearing...generally people are losing their culture to a modern world. I think it is very important to preserve cultures, they should adapt as they always have, but should not be destroyed. ...I am making a video on Meso-American ancient Civilizations...But I don't think that counts I don't think I will make that video any time soon, but is a good idea ( I would have to research that more)

  353. Most states do not have third degree murder, there are only about 5 that do. In most states it would be depraved heart murder which is based off the Model Penal Code.

  354. Thank you :)

  355. Lebowski...must have got her crossed with "the great Lebowski" in my head. Good catch, I did incorrectly use that term...Over extrapolating or incorrectly conflating to a dissimilar situation for achieving political goals would have been more correctly stated... Thanks for the feedback!

  361. When I go back to 1469 I show Portugal as a separate nation on the map. Portugal is a different color throughout the video, except during the period of Iberian Union (1580-1640). This video is not about Portugal. I don't mention anything about Portuguese or when the country began. I am part Portuguese and Portugal is a beautiful country with a great history, but this video is not about Portugal. I hope this helps you be less confused :)
    1
  362. Thank you for your comment, I hope many people read it :) That was a very rational critique I was able to fix a couple problems in this updated version I made more recently https://youtu.be/xlSQpC72zCI "It is a shame to see how people who share so much are being radicalized on both sides by their leaders who only seek their own benefit." I completely agree I hope there is more dialogue and this situation get resolved by clearer heads... I was trying to make a short quick overview for my audience (mostly US Canada) was surprised how many views this got and mostly from Spain 60-70%...Also so many nasty comments cursing at me for drawing the flag with the star on it and saying "Catalan kingdom of Aragon"(that was a honest mistake)...I have been really surprised to get so many very threatening comments for drawing some stick figures (15-30 everyday) Thank you for your polite disagreement. :)

  363. Thank you Kentren! Glad you found my channel :)

  364. You are correct. I messed that up in this video. I made a newer version where I fix that, and a couple other little things and updated the drawings and voice over https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlSQpC72zCI Thanks for the comment!
    1
  365. I stated that poorly in this video. Made an updated version (different voice over, was sick when made this one), where I state that is the opinion of the separatists (that is their claim)and that those who want union disagree with their numbers, or believe the rate of taxation to be fair https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlSQpC72zCI Thanks for the comment :)
    1
  366. When I recorded this I was sick had to edit out the coughs. And I was holding mic way to close to my mouth (still pretty new to making videos) I made a newer version updated non-sick voice, further from microphone -still figuring out sound stuff :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlSQpC72zCI
    1
  367. I see your point...I guess it is a matter of semantics whether or not archeology in history...in my opinion yes, that is part of history. I purposefully did not include the Yu the engineer and all the Xia myths...but I did mention the Xia name because after researching for this video I believe that they where based on the (Erlitou culture) BTW the first dictionary definition of history is "the study of past events, particularly in human affairs" that is the one I use for this video :) Or Webster "tale, story" that works to :) Both have written as the second definition haha semantics...well I do not think it is misleading because I clearly state in the video the Shang were the first to use writing-so clearly the earlier archeological cultures did not have writing BTW I responded to you because you seem like a smart polite person-a lot of people write similar things am just cuss a lot "so fucking communist promoter-XIA is a lie you Mfer etc..." I know I have no intention to mislead, so it is amusing to me more than anything Have a good night bro :)

  373. is not too hard either...just like prometheus...just with an epi
    1
  374. Thanks for the great comment! That is pretty close to what I believe is most likely...it is just too far in the past to say conclusively. Hopefully, the more there is an intellectual discussion (rather than people name calling and saying they are 100% sure their own view is correct) and archeological finds this fascinating story will become clearer. What would be exciting is if they ever decipher the Indus valley script :D

  377. well, they do claim descent from Solomon...so it could be likely that there is some semitic/Asiatic partial ancestry
    1
  378. Congratulations! You are the 900th person to write that exact comment (almost) and ignore the pinned comment at the top :) Fixed that in this updated version https://youtu.be/xlSQpC72zCI Thank you for not cursing and using foul language like most people do.

  379. Catalunya or Cataluña is the Catalan/Spanish pronunciation spelling...Catalonia is in English.... I guess it is like if I said Deutschland instead of Germany

  384. Brandon Redmond Thanks! I am glad you found my channel I have mixed feelings about the "watchers/annunaki/ lizard people" crowd 1. many of them are nuts-have the imagination in the overdrive gear (which can be entertaining) But... 2. they have a genuine interest in the time period and are willing to promote further research into it, and preserving it (I like that part) I think they could play a part in preserving/revealing the past...perhaps unintentionally or misguidedly Annunaki is a fantastic word by the way...I just like how it sounds :)
    1
  385. Correct That is what I was trying to do :)

  386. Neither. It was a powder form of the coca leaf...but not as strong as modern cocaine.

  387. Thanks!

  388. You are correct I made a newer version where I fix the first misstatement , On the second point that is what they claim, whether true or not-in the second video I say that there is disagreement whether that is true or not, and a couple other little things updated the drawings and voice over https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlSQpC72zCI Thank you for your comment Javier

  389. Well said....it is sad.

  390. Where the Xia the first culture mentioned in this video?????????????
    1
  391. Well that is their argument "disproportionate amount of money" whether it is true or not. In updated version of video I made sure to state that both side disagree over whether that is true or not Thanks for the comment!

  414. Thank you for sharing. This video would be ten times longer if I included everything....If I did this as work and not as a hobby I would have time to make longer videos like that with everything included...but I pretty much make these when I have spare time late at night or sometimes on a weekend. I think it is better to try and fail, then never try at all...making videos is fun...I try to get better over time and I am just one guy drawing everything, researching and writing and recording and editing with very limited time

  419. I may have not been clear in talking about the succession war..sorry if you were confused. At 1:52 in the video I clearly say "succession" not secession...Listen to again The only thing lying was your poor hearing, not what I said. There were other regions(valencia aragon) and nations in favor of the king that lost. I said nearly every nation in Europe took a side. I never said Catalonia was fighting Spain alone. I did not want to make the video overly long . I made a newer version of this video which states this war more clearly.

  420. The flag was completely my mistake (laziness)...I should have changed it to the historical flag I fixed the flag and a couple other little mistakes I made I a newer version of this video I made today. https://youtu.be/xlSQpC72zCI Is hard to state everything as correctly as I would like in a 4 min video. It is just me making the video drawings and voice on my spare time off of work Thanks for the comment :)

  434. Thant is very interesting...do you think both sides will negotiate a peaceful solution...or things will continue to spiral out of control?
    1
  435. What do you think will happen? Madrid is saying they are going to take over if Catalonia's position is not clarified...Things seem tense....
    1
  436. I should have talked about the Franco dictatorship in the video, but I saw trying to make a short video. I don't say in the video it is "just about money" I said "without getting into linguistic and cultural differences etc...this has everything to do with money" Which I could have phrased that better should have been "primarily about money" That is very different from saying Just (only) about money. I spent a month in Barcelona last year and the Majority of the separatists I talked to were concerned about taxes/services first then language, oppression second. After this morning and the suppression of the vote, this will be about oppression-the Spanish government has "shot themselves in the foot" with the crackdown of the vote...whatever side someone is on it looks very bad to beat up voters. Hope you have a good day :)
    1
  437. You are correct, I messed that up, very much misstated that I recently created a corrected version :) Differentiating the kingdom of Aragon(just Aragon) to the crown of Aragon (Aragon, catalunya Valencia etc...) It's a 3,4 min video was trying to be brief, not mislead. https://youtu.be/xlSQpC72zCI

Yeah I fucked up on the "Catalan kingdom of Aragon"...very poorly stated...read my pinned post (at top of comments) I wrote right after posting the video. Well flag was correct for modern movement....didn't think would be big deal if left it on for war of Spanish succession...should have changed it.... Was sick in bed making this on my Surface pro tablet to pass time...I appreciate your comment :)

  459. "DNA TEST PROVES IT! " what DNA test proves "Slavs, Latins, Germans, Armenians, Greeks," are all descendants of a linguistic group? I have never heard of a study where DNA has been tested from the vedic kingdoms-if you are not just delusional/mis-remembering/or making that up what studies are you referring two?
    1
  460. KURGAN hypothesis is not a DNA study Northern Indians modern DNA is not an indication of the vedic peoples DNA Many waves of migration have gone through india over the last several thousand years that the peoples of these area are related is different thing from saying Indo-European theory is true I believe there is truth to it-=but not as traditionally presented- and is much more complex
    1
  461. Also I agree "We are all related!"
    1
  462. But Germanic slavic are very far from the historical "Aryans" they are more closely related to Persians, North Indians,and even Mediterraneans than Germans or Slavs which I believe have less "historical Aryan" ancestry
    1
  463. There are so many problems conflating the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_R1b with your first comment -first how is this related to the historical aryans in any way?, second this is modern people DNA not ancient DNA many migrations-third, that light area in northern India how is that not from the Scythians or many other people who invaded northern india from the west afterwards?
    1
  464. 1 Wrong about the DNA thing 2 very understandable how one could be paranoid about that-but paranoia is a handicap and I think the worst thing conservatives should do is join the SJW perspective and think about race being more important than ideas. I have met many good and bad (kind or selfish) of my own race. I have also known honorable and villainous people of other races. Ideas and what we believe are the most important-and can we treat our fellow man decently (it is not the governments job that is our job)
    1
  465. Thanks :) !

  466. A mixture of both, guessing the names of the kings are correct at least and the smaller the details the more likely it was folk tradition added to the stories later

  467. Your welcome! Glad you liked it :)
    1
  468. In this video I go into more detail of the difference between the crown of Aragon and the county/principality of Catalonia In short the crown of Aragon was made up of the kingdom of Aragon + Catalonia...ruled over by a joint house https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlSQpC72zCI
    1
  469. Haha...I am sure it was an appropriately lascivious sounding song

  470. Thanks! Glad you found my channel I made an updated version of this same video, you might like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlSQpC72zCI Have a great day András :)
    1
  471. I hope the very best for India and as a westerner, I want to learn more about it. If you paid attention to this video I am very clearly stating that I do not have the answers and there are multiple views on this subject...and I clearly state some of the major problems with the traditional Aryan invasion theory...I also think some people take that to far in the opposite direction. Compare this video to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xvj4CXQLDxk that is what you are primarily going to find on Youtube from the west...I am trying to have an honest discussion of the points of views and not stating that my views are 100% correct...that is why I am responding to you, this video has thousands of comments but I try to be involved in the discussion and learn more and hear both sides of the argument-many of those defending Aryan Migration/invasion theory are from India and I find this very interesting and if you truly believe in democracy then you should believe in open discussion instead of telling someone to "STFU" If I am talking to a fool I let him talk he will condemn himself, the censorship of ideas good or bad I believe is the worst thing for civilization....Because with the justification of censoring the bad the good are more often censored in history.
    1
  472. Haha...you need to chill out a little more "buddy"...I am not as easily triggered as some "kiddo" :D I honestly feel kinda sorry for you....being rude will not help you in life only hold you back My advice to you is, be polite...talking in an uncivilized manner will not convince anyone The internet is full of foaming at the mouth microcephalics throwing insults around...you will be inconsequential and influence no one that way. If you feel you have a rational view you should make your own video start your own discussion. "Now, to take credit for this progress tell Indians that they share genes with Aryans." Did I make that definitive claim=NO "The Swastika' is tainted by your foolish and evil actions" "then you divide the country in 2 causing" What do I have to do with that? "Can you please stop??" Your rude and ignorant comments have not been convincing...I think we may get a follow-up video You are assuming a lot about my position in that video that is not correct...I forgive you if you speak English as a second language...if not...I don't think there is much hope for you and I feel sorry for those you are rude to in your everyday life :)

  489. Is a simplification, yes. But in a short video I focused on the primary cause = tax situation (in my opinion from what I read and have asked people). If there was no financial crisis in Spain for nearly the past decade or if the tax situation was different there would not be such large support for secession. If you like, you can watch https://youtu.be/Okg_t6nhFFU in this video I focus on arguments for and against the Catalan referendum...would love to hear what you think. Thanks for your comment!

  490. "people came from central asia for Indian Civilization and then moved along Ganges river and south INDIA" That sentence does not make sense and is not in the video. What the video does say is that 1. the oldest cities are based around the Indus river (older than 5,000 years ago), these people are not from central asia=Fact 2. Some people moved in from central Asia moved in (were absorbed into culture/modified culture)(details are unclear) That happens everywhere in the world people move around and inter-marry forming new cultures I forgive you because it does not seem that you understand or write English very well ...I am having trouble understanding you...so sorry sir

  496. Thanks for the comment Tom! I have watched a couple of Syrian Girl's videos and thought they were very good. I'll look for that video you are referring to. I know since medieval times there were both settled and nomadic Kurds - Saladin was a Kurd (whose dynasty ruled much of the Muslim world for a little while) and there were a couple other settled Kurdish principalities around the time 11, 12, 13-ish centuries...but might have primarily gone back to a nomadic lifestyle after that. Would be interesting to see her video-do you know the title of it?
    1
  497. Unless Aryans look Indian...I am guessing you did not pay attention to this video at all and assumed it was saying something it did not :)

  498. Listen to it again I clearly say succession..."btw im spanish and know my shit so stfu" By your use of vernacular....I am guessing you live in the USA and your "shit you know" is about as good as your hearing lol

  501. No...I don't believe I do my good chap BCE/CE Before Christ's Era/Christ's Era or Christian Era? BC/AD Backward Chronology/ Ascending dates ...I prefer BC AD is shorter that is what I was taught in school that's what most of my books say and that's what most people recognize. I think it is silly to change it...would be like if they wanted to change the names of the days of the week or months to get rid of their religious connotations....WTF makes the era after 1 AD common anyways? Is silly.

  503. Yes, Rome paid Dacia to say it was a client. It typically does work the other way around.

  504. More the second sense...But more I would say more socially liberal, pro abortion, gay marriage, less religious When Spain legalized abortion is the recently 2010ish huge crowds of people I think a couple million protested it in Madrid and areas of castilla. People there are still trying to reverse that. And maybe on of the only areas in western Europe that still has a church attendance. Thanks for the question. :) Made a new version of this video yesterday-non-sick voice Have a great day Edward https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlSQpC72zCI

  506. I say nearly every country in Europe took a side...I think you just looked at the map. I know Aragon Valencia and other countries were on that side...I was unclear, yes there is an updated version of this video that is more clear...I think a lot of people got confused by the map i was showing when I was talking....well your only like the 500th person to point that out...so congratulations

  515. I misstated that Here is updated version were that is fixed https://youtu.be/xlSQpC72zCI

  516. I think the most common reasons were 1. Many did not like the reference to the Aryan Invasion theory, which has more recently become a more controversial topic. With either wave of peaceful migration or this being a non-existent event being proposed. Even within India, there seems to be a hot debate with several sides on this topic. I was unaware of how controversial that theory was before making this video. 2. The Maratha Empire/Confederacy got left out at the end which oversimplified the British takeover, which is a fair criticism. I later made two videos on the Marathas. One on Chhatrapati Shivaji, the empire's founder and one on the whole empire.

  525. "According to many sources, the Mycenaeans and the Ancient Greek build a continues lineage" I don't think that is true at all. No significant "source" has ever claimed that the Dorians were natives of the Peloponnesus in Mycenean times.

  531. Technically he was the fifth Khagan "great Khan" (not a king) of the whole Mongol empire...in practice, he only effectively ruled the Yuan...But he was still greatly involved in the politics of the whole realm-spending troops, resources, backing factions etc.... That is why I showed the two different labeled maps-thought people could figure that out if curious. I did not say the Qing were Chinese, I should have mentioned the Manchurians (my mistake) ...trying to keep it to 7 mins is tough :)
