[@nicoleruiz4975]

I'm actually doing advanced history right now, and this was a very interesting video that had popped up on the home page of KZbin about a week ago. And it was thanks to those classes that I was able to understand a lot more of this video than others. I think if you have at least a general understanding of the people and situations of the earlier world, you can enjoy this video without totally blowing your brain with this sudden information.

[@tokesalot42069]

Just to let people know who didn't get it, when it says Columbus discovered "Japan" that was a joke because at the time the maps were drawn differently hence why he said "lets draw a line" then pivoted the globe.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Thanks for helping explain that part 🙂

[@Jzombi301]

thats why that part of the world in the Caribbean is called the West Indies

My favourite "missed parts" by most reactors is when there is "room for Moors" and "khmer" (come here) for Cambodia.

[@TamagoSenshi]

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 According to the person that recorded Marco Polo's supposed adventures, there's a mythical land called Cipangu, full of gold, based on the Chinese myth of Japan being a cradle of life, since the sun comes from that direction. Since his journey is described in days of travel and he moved slowly, people overestimated the distances he travelled, so Asia was drawn much larger on maps than it actually is. As a result, those islands ended up being where Cipangu would be on the map used during Columbus' life and the myth of El Dorado was born

[@elbruces]

For an instant you're like "that kind of does look like Japan," and then they rotate the map and it's Cuba, I don't know why I love that little trick so much.

[@JeshuaSquirrel]

I love this video for a simple reason: it shows how everything is connected. In school, we learn history in an episodic fashion. But this video gives a five thousand foot view and we can see how one event leads into another. For instance, I never realized before this video how there is a straight line from the Seven Years War through the American Revolution to the French Revolution and Napoleon.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

😎🤟

[@wazzalord3]

to add, napoleon being punished by prussia (germany) followed by another himuliation during the formation of germany is also why Germany ended up getting the biggest penalty from WW1 which in term lead to WW2 which then again lead to the cold war and china vs china

[@somersetcace1]

There's a line in the movie "Contact" when the main character meets an alien. The alien says "You're an interesting species. An interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares." I think that sums it up pretty well. Also, seeing the history laid out like this can be quite eye opening as to the amount of conquering that went on. Though, one thing this video misses, is that within some of those empires were generations of relative peace.

[@xenotypos]

The fact that we value peace itself may just be our human nature speaking. In general nothing is objectively better than anything else, and I don't think super smart aliens would judge another species through "moral" views. Probably. Anyway, as bad as violence seems to us (and how harmful it is to modern society), conflicts shaped civilisation. No actually, conflicts/competition is even a fondamental part of life that shapes the natural world. And which carries evolution itself.

[@somersetcace1]

@@xenotypos I wouldn't disagree with that. We make up flowery romantic ways to put it, but it basically amounts to the same thing. "From the ashes..." etc...I have no idea what aliens would say, if anything, I was just using a fictional quote to describe something. That quote was made up by a human, from a humans perspective about what that human thought an advanced alien might think of humanity. Really, it's the author's take on humanity, I just agree with it. However, I agree it's subjective. It means nothing outside of the value we give it.

I highly recommend checking out Lemmino's videos! He literally makes some of the best and most quality videos on youtube. He is widely known as the guy who makes the best documentaries on youtube. He talks about some of the most interesting topics and mysteries in his videos. I think you guys would really enjoy his documentaries. I recommend checking out these videos to start with: -The Search For D. B. Cooper -Cicada 3301: An Internet Mystery -The Vanishing of Flight 370 -The Universal S -Extraordinary Until Proven Otherwise These are some of his best but of course he has so many other amazing videos.

Ken and Bethany chat about the show, their thoughts on how it ended so low. At first, it was light, with animals in view, but then it turned dark, with war's cruel hue. The early part was fun, and made them smile, with cute creatures and scenes that beguile. But history’s pain soon took the stage, with battles and strife on every page. Ken was puzzled by history's span, the Byzantine Empire, hard to understand. College notes had not shown it all, but the video gave more than a textbook's call. Bethany saw beauty amidst the pain, in the Renaissance, art broke the chain. A moment of joy in a troubled sea, they hope for more of this, a brighter spree.

[@Danceofmasks]

The early parts of the video might seem fun ... unless you were there. In the early days, the moon was so close to the earth that tides were 400 times higher and lower ... bringing with it waves and quakes the likes of which we struggle to imagine. Heck, the changes in gravity alone would probably wreck a fragile species like ourselves.

The beginning where the narrator talks about “nothing”, “nowhere”, “every” and “you don’t need a where. That’s how every it gets” alludes to Anaximander’s concept/proposition/hypothesis of “Apeiron”! Please check it out!! It concerns how the universe “started”, and “Apeiron” simply means without beginning and end (infinite). When you think about it, it makes perfect sense and some intellectuals and scientists agree with that suggestion/proposition. As do I. And now science has discovered hints of pre-big bang existence of the universe, which I believe points to apeiron. And the fact that space expands faster than the speed of light only further supports it. That means “things” have always existed and this existence is infinite, limitless and boundless.

I find German history incredibly fascinating because the Germans and Germany were always there, but at the same time not and always different like a shapeshifter. Summarized - Rejects Roman annexation - Teutons defeat Rome, are often slapped in the face, but Rome generally fails to subdue them Create an empire that wasn't really an empire but somehow lived for 1000 years - Very special and unique The Kingdom of Prussia and hundreds of German states gangsta! before being defeated by one of history's greatest generals. defeats the French, unite into a new Empire Get a colonial Empire Fights the whole world two times Gets divided again Reunites again and is not allowed to be strong again. Also, a few German inventions: - Incandescent lamps (Heinrich Göbel 1854) - The Telephone (Johann Philip Reis 1859) - Dynamo and tram (Werner von Siemens 1866) - The 35mm camera (Oskar Barnack 1925) - Nuclear fission and atomic bomb (Otto Hahn - while Nazi Germany emigrated to the Americans of course.

You talk about the Renaissance being the one bright spot, but he does also mention the golden age of India, and the Islamic golden age, both periods of learning and scientific discovery with art and culture that easily rival the Renaissance.

This video always makes me emotional

[@wazzalord3]

the thing about history is simple, the dark parts is what we usually learn about (and one's loss might be someone else's victory so its sometimes glorified a little bit) history buffs usually tend to say that 'we look at the past to learn for the future, so we may avoid the mistakes that were once made.' yet... more often than not, history buffs just look at the world cynically while seeing the mistakes being made every other day and just... we sit and watch.

Some things in of this video is inaccurate or missing lol like the Stonehedge, the ancient pyramids, the heaven and hell thing isn't as cut and dry etc, etc but I know this is exaggerated obviously lol 😆 but your reaction was great guys. You rock! I agree that this vid focused on the negatives of our history snd not the positives.

[@anthonydeadman]

That's mainly because there really wasn't that many positives that outweighed the negatives. Like they existed yes, but there were a lot of pressing issues throughout history. Some that we STILL haven't even resolved to this very day even which really says a lot when folks say "Don't let history repeat itself" y'know?

[@MKF30]

@@anthonydeadman Thats debatable theres lots of positives and good humans have done like building civilizations, inventions to help humanity, people who help animals, medical research etc etc the problem is people like to focus on the negatives. Example take cops or priests. I know some and have had the unfortunate run ins with them in the past. I can tell you they're like anyone else with any other job. You have good ones and bad ones but if you listen to the media they "all cops are bad and all churches have pedo priests" which is not true at all the problem is the good ones get a bad rap. Its understandable now days to be jaded but I feel alot of people are easily influenced by msm instead of doing their own homework.

[@anthonydeadman]

@@MKF30 I'm sure there is a lot of good things folks have done for sure. My main point is, there's just such an imbalance and like you said, that's partially due to the fact that people feed more and at times even profit off of negativity in multiple ways. Hell, you could argue that some even have an obsession to find negative things just to get their kicks. It's utter madness. Still this all being said, it doesn't change the harsh fact that a lot of our history ranges from dark, to absolutely tragic moments but despite that, it's the genuinely GOOD moments we have during those periods no matter how small, that keep us going forward and give us hope for a positive outcome or future.

[@MKF30]

@@anthonydeadman Yeah unfortunately now days that seems to be the thing that drives people, everyone seemingly has an agenda and often it's pointing out the flaws over the positives which depending on what the topic is may be true but it's like these feel like darker days we're going through which historically speaking happens then things get better then there's another crisis be it a war, pandemic, economic meltdown etc, etc whatever the issue is so some will say that's how everything balances out. Unfortunately it just seems like the negatives override the positives at least in times like now. I'd like to think there are better times when this isn't the case, such as when I was growing up the times just felt happier and less complicated. Yeah I mean that's why I believe the universe and everything at the end of the day is about balance, where there's good there's evil, dark there's light etc, etc it may seem like one overpowers the other but the reality is it's balanced it just doesn't appear that way depending on the era. I believe people can find a good or dark aspect in every situation really, it's all about perspective.

[@anthonydeadman]

@@MKF30 Agreeed. It definitely depends on the perspective which ranges from person to person.

Man I used to love history in high school world history man there was one pop quiz I had and it was about Cabrera a Brazilian fighting style man that reminded me of the guy from Tekken who fights Brazilian breakdancing

In portuguese we call it "Capoeira" , it's still pretty popular in the northeast of Brazil.

[@bigmoe9856]

The beginning part of the video before humanity rises is pretty similar to Alien Biosphere.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Haven’t seen that yet 🤔

Ahhh. A classic of KZbin.

11:47..."Hello, Mississippi". I saw your head shake, and I'm guessing you're surprised about life there at that early period. Check out 1491 by Charles Mann if you want to know the actual level of native society by the time Europeans showed up. We were not taught reality in our schooling.

[@ObsidianChariot]

I find it absolutely hysterical that everyone reacts to the dinosaurs extinction the EXACT same way on reaction channels.

[@Mobliz]

Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. -Carl Sagan

[@HoliGallistur1023]

That was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@rayhutchinson640]

Great reaction and commentary!

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Thanks so much, Ray! 😊😀
