History Noob Watches "history of the entire world, i guess"! | Let's Watch Bill Wurtz (Reaction)...

[@YoBGS]

Are there any other iconic KZbin creators/videos I need to check out? ESPECIALLY if they're gonna help me learn something... Thanks for checking out the video and remember to subscribe if you enjoyed it. Thanks for checking it out!!

[@symondhdr3162]

Didn't expect you to NOT have seen this video, I'd suggest History of Japan from the same guy (bill wurtz) it's the "prequel" Edit: someone else suggested Sam'o'nella and Oversimplified which are both very similar in style to Bill Wurtz.

[@AroWolfArts]

My suggestions would be Oversimplified and Sam o nella academy. Both of them teach you about things in a fun way and also often talk about rather obscure events in history, so you are just bound to learn something on the way.

[@stellarskateboard]

SmarterEveryDay is a really great channel is you want to stretch your brain a little. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3fddZR4r6efgpI&ab_channel=SmarterEveryDay (The Backwards Brain Bicycle) is probably a good lightweight intro to his content.

[@NeverStudio8]

Can you check out dingo doodles fools gold campaign

[@OzoneTheLynx]

Not quite as iconic as bill wurtz (almost nothing is) but "melodysheep" is definitely an awsome channel when it comes to learning stuff. Kind like this, but more like a documentary and gorges animation and music. His "timelapse of the entire universe" video would be a great start. (Kind of like this but about everything before humans.) With his "timelapse of the future" a natural follow up. Especially the last one is a master piece. Showing everything from now till the literal end of time. (He also has a series about aliens, including my favorite video on all of KZbin, but this should be enough for now)

Okay, I know the american education system really struggles with teaching world history sometimes (i lucked into getting a really good world history education) but I am genuinely surprised you hadn't heard of the opium wars, if not for the sheer horrific memeage of a wholeass country being like 'fuck, china won't buy our stuff... i know let's sell them drugs' anyways!! If you're looking for a good way to get more details on a lot of what happens in this video, I'd really recommend Crash Course's World History series.. the first series is based of the modern AP World History curriculum so it's near the equivalent education of a good high school/basic college world history course- at least, when the videos came out they were nearly the exact stuff I'd just had to study for my AP test so it's a very good starting point and yeah, hindu is the oldest major world religion- in veeery general, rule of thumb, the less gods the later it was established. Christianity is a relatively young religion compared to most the world's major religions

I don’t know if someone brought this up but the first set of large things were enormous creatures whose size was enabled by the fact that the earth’s atmosphere had HELLLLLLA oxygen. These large things included car-sized cockroaches. Also eagle-sized dragonflies. Also fires that would burn the lush jungles violently for years without stopping because that’s just how much oxygen and plants there were to fuel it. Truly a wonderful time.

[@queenkay2014]

Paleo Student here! I've got answers for the first predators and the large animals before the dinosaurs. The first predators would've likely been single-celled prokaryotic microorganisms, and predation may have begun a little less than 3 billion years ago. It's actually because of this cell-on-cell engulfing that eukaryotes came into being, as mitochondria and chloroplasts originate from smaller microorganisms that got eaten but survived and assimilated into the larger cell. Big land animals before the dinosaurs include some amphibians, reptiles, and a strange group of mammal-like reptiles called 'therapsids.' It's not really commonly known by most non-Geology people that there was an entire era before the Mesozoic (dinosaur times) called the Paleozoic, which had even more periods and many bizarre animals. The Permian especially has some weird critters, seriously look up cotylorhynchus. You won't be disappointed.

6:45 about how we know about this stuff, mostly because geologists studied different rocks and soil from our world, you can tell how old they are sometimes using some chemical knowledge, and then they compare the properties of the sample they got to others and to sample from meteorites that we have, also adding the knowledge that we have through observation with telescopes to others stars and planets, watching how they form, die, evolve...

[@VictoriaWalker8]

And about what you said that's is cool this video talks more about other countries in the world, well it's true, but still missed so much stuff. Latin America is only mentioned two times. There was so much stuff happening while the place was a bunch of colonies from Spain and Portugal. Slavery, different economic growth through time, some wars to be independent (or not like Brazil lol we just declared independence with no war). Then happened so many wars between the countries that decided on the new distribution of land (for example Brazil added the place that we call now the State of Acre but also lost the land that is currently Uruguay).

By the way, the reason "China" kept breaking apart and coming back together is interesting. Basically, the entire world, China included, had all sort of feudalistic power shifts. One group would take over, then a few decades later another would, or whatever. What is unique about China isn't that there was anything different happening as far as military, war, and power struggles go. Inatead it's wmore based around the culture of the area, where successive conquerors pretty much always came to identify themselves not as a new country, but the new dynasty running the same country, even though politically there wasn't much different than, for example, England being controlled by Germanic tribes, then by the French Normans, and so on.

We have VERY easy and confortable lives compared with the pre-industrial world, it's not for nothing that world population exploded from the 19th century on. It doesn't mean we're happier, but we're clearly not fighting every day for survival. In the 18th century life expectancy in much of Europe was between 25 and 30 years, mostly due to child mortality (it's rather a normal thing for young children to be at bigger risk to die than adults in nature). Common people didn't even give names to their baby before 3 to 6 months because it was so common for the child to die if they were too weak. Death was a normal occurence for people living back then, especially because of diseases, amongst other reasons. But once again, we can't say with certainty that we're happier. It's complicated.

[@siriuspope3552]

In terms of religions, Hinduism is pretty much the oldest still-living religion... though arguably considering possible proto-indoeuropean forms of worship and their influence on the later Babylonian pantheon, and *its* influence on Judaism, and the Mycenaean worship of Dionysus, and its later influence on Christianity, you *could* argue that some form of proto-Christianity was first, though it's... a lot more complicated than that. There's a lot of iterations of Christianity [or something kind of like it? The Katabasis is a common convergent mytheme] across different times, among the first are Dionysus as worshipped in Mycenaean Greece-and Osiris, since Osiris originated in Egypt, and Egypt is just absolutely BALLIN old. As "ancient" religions go, Islam is actually one of the younger ones, functioning as the Third Testament, since there's Judaism [the first] which developed out of a... long and complex series of events, and then Christianity [the sequel produced by a different publisher] thematically dealt with the destruction of the Temple, and then Islam [an attempt to retcon the sequel] tried to fix the issues they perceived in Christianity, which LOOKS a great deal like removing the western appropriation of semitic culture and beliefs from a belief system... but that's a whole other can of worms. Looking at religions throughout history is kind of like analyzing evolutionary phylogeny, and that's why I love the field so much, because it studies the way humans share ideas, beliefs, and values.
