The Balkans would be the first to reject such a proposal. A joint statement from Serbia, Romania, Greece and Bulgaria would arrive on the same day, condemning and rejecting such a proposal. These 4 Balkan countries always make joint statements when they should condemn Turkey. Without Moldova, Cyprus and the Republika Srpska (Serb part of Bosnia), those countries have over 50 million inhabitants and are twice as armed as Turkey. Unlike Turkey, they are not ethnically divided and they are always united when it comes to Turkey.

Glad to see 5 Big Cities from Pakistan. Mohenjo Daro and Harrapa, Indus Valley Civilization existed 5,000 years ago, and had two to three stories houses, paved streets, plumbing system, communal bath houses, and latrine toilets, over 5,000 years ago. Also Lahore is an ancient City and long with Taxila, still populated and both founded 1,000 B.C. Now Lahore has population of around 10 Million. It's amazing.

[@NostalgiaforInfinity]

None of those have anything to do with you. They were part of the Indian/Bharatiya civilization and undivided India/Bharat. Most of the Harappan culture is now found in the Dharmic cultures and traditions of modern day Hindus, Jains, Buddhists and Sikhs. The so called "Taxila" (actually Takshashila) as well was a Vedic Hindu city and its university was a Vedic Gurukul. Lahore was named after the son of Lord Rama (Lav).

[@shehran6936]

@@NostalgiaforInfinity None of that has to do with India, because India was never a contiguous/homogenous nation or civilisation. The people that live in Taxilla, Mohenjo Daro, Lahore and Harrapa are/were not Indian (or Bharatiya), the people that descended from them still live there now, so it is their history. Show me where defined themselves as such. Stop claiming history that isn't yours. It's funny how someone from Delhi will claim history of people in Mizoram or Balochistan as theirs when their ancestors had nothing to do with it, but someone that has all their family history in Lahore can't claim that as their history because they are Muslim and from Pakistan.

[@NostalgiaforInfinity]

@@shehran6936Son, the vast majority of the population that lived in the Punjab and Sindh regions of the Hrappan period of Indian civilization, moved into the Gangetic plains when those settlements started to collapse (mostly due to climate change). Not to mention, the biggest and the most developed cities of the Harappan period are found in the modern day states of Gujarat and close to Delhi (especially the Rakhigarhi). The current population of Pakistan occupied Punjab and Sindh are not the same as the historical Bharatiyas of Harappan, Vedic, and post-Vedic period.

[@shehran6936]

@NostalgiaforInfinity do you have any sources for any of your claims or are you just saying things you believe? The people that live in Punjab and Sindh are Indo-European, much like all the people that live in the Gangetic plains. All of North India is Indo-European. The people that lived in the Indus Valley Civilisation were Dravidian, like South Indians. So if the people in Pakistan are occupiers so to are all the people in North India.

Super interesting. But in reality, what constitutes a “city” ? For my home town, Paris, you have at least 3 definitions : 1) Paris, as we say, “intra-muros”, i.e. the 20 “arrondissements” of Paris, 2) the “petite couronne”, “small crown” of contiguous cities around Paris, and 3) the “grande couronne”, “larger crown” of cities that fall within the strong attraction of the capital. Depending on the definition you get from 2 million to probably around 12 million people…

[@geniusfa7717]

He's also counting the legal boundaries of Buenos Aires and not the mega city that actually is. Such that today it would show to have a bit more of 3M inhabitants when in reality it has 13 to 14 million.

[@dodaz2049]

Same for Rome and Milan! You can get from 1.5 to 15 million people depending on what you mean... in both. We say "città intra-muros" aka anything that's inside the "ring road" and then "provincia" for the province of Milan/Rome and then number 3) the "zona metropolitana" or "dintorni/bacino d'utenza" i.e. the large crown of cities around Milan that fall in it's immediate or not-so-immediate vicinity and attraction via Milan/Rome.

I'm glad Chengdu made your list, most amazing city I've ever been to, but it should have made it much earlier. Just not enough records but I did take some archeology classes there, they were creating amazing gold jewelry before 2000 bc. Also some of their great wall still left. World's largest building and largest train station there. Also ChongQing metro is close to 50 million but exclusive economic zone is only half that. Anywho numbers are awesome.

@alex88271 how would you know that? I've been in dig sites where a steady amount of artifacts were found under 3 meters of soil. So many historic treasures were/are being found because all the construction over the past few decades. It's possible that items came through trade. Could you provide a reference of central asian people producing fine gold jewelry from that time frame?

[@frankmerrill2366]

There's a lot of surprises in this time-lapse. One, is that the population doesn't seem to have changed all that much for 1,300 years from 300 to 1600. (And WHAT happened to Delhi so suddenly just after 1400?) There were some spectacular population decreases throughout the period, not only during the Black Plague. I had no idea that New York was ever the second-most-populated city in the world. It's also very surprising that in modern times, it wasn't until 1957 that any Asian city (Tokyo) became the world's largest. It's also very interesting to see nothing from Greece appear in the olden times, because many of us can name at least a few of the city-states that existed there (Athens, Sparta, Troy). I was even more surprised that Damascus never showed up. What a fun video!

[@sander_bouwhuis]

I noticed a couple of these collapses throughout time when a city would half in a span of 10 years time. Maybe war or famine?

[@Crickmaster-t9k]

We in India don't want big cities. As these cities are overloaded with population. Huge slums, even the rates of these slum are is huge. But low standard of living. The present government is on right path to create more cities and also developing villages where they not only get basic facilities and also advance education, best health care. To an extent Internet will solve this problem, Bharatnet is an example, the educated youth can solve the problem of education by teaching in village areas and also get some employment through teaching. Recently government is planning one district one product, which will boast local manufacturing. If all this things happen honestly, we will see Better infrastructure India, better standard of living and clean India. Even i think The African countries should also focus on this, instead of creating one or two huge cities focus on many, using the best of every area. India did mistake early by focusing on just five big cities Mumbai, delhi, Bangalore, chennai and Kolkata. And we could see the results. The property rates got higher, mafia also emerged, corruption grew.
