Mass Effect History Compared To Human History

[@snow9294]

Citadel was created by reapers, not Protheans. I thought fan such as yourself wouldn't make such mistake. Haha. No big deal tho, even the in-game humans believed that up until Javik told them it is not true. (Vigil said it first, thanks Jordan Beeney for pointing it out)

[@MassEffectFollowers]

There is a reason why I am bringing on someone to make Lore videos :). Despite all of the research I do and triple checking, I always miss one thing.

[@snow9294]

Hehe, of course, everyone misses something sometimes, I didn't blame you for it, just wanted to point it out. Either way, amazing and well composed video!

[@MassEffectFollowers]

Snow Thank you!

[@1215298]

I thought you were a fan; Vigil told them it was the Reapers, not Javik. #GetRektByTheTrueFan XD

[@snow9294]

Jordan Beeney Well, both of them said it. Vigil only said it first. Javik said something along the lines "They made you think we made it". So yeah. Get rekt "true fan".

[@Stretchjr85]

Mass Effect universe would make a good tv series. In the right hands of course.

[@Internetgamer420]

HBO "we'll bang, okay"

[@shadowro7]

itd be game of thrones... boring old cliche story that everyone only watches for the sex.

[@StarLord1206]

+Shadow game of thrones is a huge success and it is one of the most popular tv series ever...so mass effect would be a major success by your comparison

[@shadowro7]

Star Lord yeah itd be a massive success but that doesnt mean its would be good, destiny sold 5 mil copies and made like 300 mil $ but it was a shit game as 95% of the playerbase agrees

[@StarLord1206]

+Shadow i don't know much about destiny and i agree that if something is successful it's not necessarily good (just look at justin bieber,one direction,etc.) but i really don't get the hate behind game of thrones since it is really fucking good. i only wish they made a witcher 3 kind of rpg of the show. i would really like to hear the reasons you dislike got because most of the people that i see complaining are the ones that haven't watched the show at all or have just watch the first episode or just a hald of the first episode. i call it haiting on mainstream things,jumping on bandwagons and being a hipster. i'm not trying to start a fight or anything it's just what i observed.

[@quirkyadventures1722]

Lol i love how whilst humanity were rubbing rocks together in a cave there was a massive galactic war going on xD

[@StephySon]

Sounds about right XD

[@MassEffectFollowers]

That is what got me excited about making this video

[@Jasina85]

Really puts things in perspective, doesn't it? ;)

[@Rolandchocobo]

where did you find he information on the 30,000 year rainstorm?

[@MassEffectFollowers]

Abbassia Pluvial en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbassia_Pluvial

[@ChevronSeven]

meanwhile in our universe: rain

[@oso0012]

yeah that caught my attention too

[@oso0012]

apparently, I would guess he is talking about the ice age melting and sea levels rising but I'm not sure.

[@pasiarah9516]

He's talking about the Abbassia Pluvial - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbassia_Pluvial

[@waltermcmain3461]

30,000 year long rainstorm is a bit of an overstatement...

[@wampyrelli]

[@memorandom7484]

Ah, the Hammerhead, making the Mako look like a reliable mode of transport.

[@StephySon]

Come Andromeda it soon will be ;)

[@breakoutfrosty9595]

I never had a problem with how the mako handles

[@Fucisko]

Mako isn't the problem most of the time, it's the fucking uncharted worlds with almost 90° steep mountains.

[@breakoutfrosty9595]

+FuciMiNaKule just ride the mountains diagonally I love the uncharted world's and I never have a problems with the mountains. my only problem with the mako is how week the shields were and how long it took for them to regen

[@shitmandood]

I'd be happy to fly the Hammerhead again.

[@Romaander]

When I played ME1 I always thought that those Inusannon statues on Illos were Protheans :D

[@AwashimaSeriLieutenant]

those were inusannon statues?

[@cptmactavish3310]

Same here, then we saw Collectors and Javik.

[@Romaander]

Yeah, when I saw the Collector I was a bit confused

[@rickjames5998]

Romaander originally they were the protheans, but bioware changed all that for me2 and the reapers also had a different reason for harvesting life

[@haribra4260]

Romaander me too

[@FuriousLailla]

Some of the information regarding Mass Effect's history that you are sharing is not true. The Reapers did not betray the Leviathans. It was the protocol of the Intelligence that caused the Reapers to turn against their creators - to prevent a war between organics and synthetics. The Mass Relays were not created by the Protheans, they were built by the Reapers. This is the network that they use to travel around the galaxy faster. The Citadel is also made by the Reapers.

[@PR-xm5zc]

Likewise for the first part of what you just said, the leviathans didn't create the reapers, they created the catalyst to solve the problem of organics and synthetics, the catalysts solution was to betray the leviathans and made the first reapers from the leviathans.

[@FuriousLailla]

@@PR-xm5zc Same thing, different wording - "the protocol of the intelligence caused the Reapers to turn against their creators" In other words - a loophole

[@sebo641]

The Citadel was not built by the Protheans.

[@soku890]

It was created by the Reapers for the same purpose as Mass Relays. Also the Citadel is a Mass Relay itself.

[@sebo641]

Soku yeah, but he says it was built by the Protheans in his vid

[@soku890]

sebo641 lol i know

[@sebo641]

chotto chotto idk if there is any lore info on that specifically. We just find out it was built by the Reapers and that every civilization used the Citadel as their central hub

[@sebo641]

chotto chotto Yeah, it seems weird that they would build a city. But maybe that's what their thralls did, such as the keepers.

[@bryanFDNY]

Wan't the citadel made by the reapers ? As a backdoor from Dark Space to kickstart their invasion.

[@philipped.r.6385]

How could you even think to press space while speaking with Sovereign? It's probably the most terrifying and awesome conversation in the whole series!

[@shivarampersaud2332]

Dude holy crap I thought I commented that

[@PR-xm5zc]

Even though that doesn't really make sense either as they are able to just fly normal and make it to the milkyway in a little over 2yrs, if they are that close the whole citadel thing seems pointless for immortal beings 2yrs is like a couple minutes, so they just waited for hundreds of years for sovereign to regain control of the citadel...when they could of just legged it in 2yrs

[@AdmiralBison]

@@PR-xm5zc Vigil explained, The Reapers "don't rush into the unknown" Sovereign's purpose was to check the state of the Galaxy and then send a signal to the Citadel/Keepers to open allowing the Reapers to jump in from dark space outside of the galaxy. They "legged" it into the Milky Way galaxy, and it is not mentioned how far outside of the galaxy they stayed and "slept", also it would make sense if they were to enter the Milky Way, apart from the Citadel, it would have to be the next closest or appropriate Mass Relay from with to stage their assault...which just happened to be Batarian space.

[@pepper_doze2463]

Great vid. But, as I recall the "intelligence" actually stated that they started collecting genetic material not for the sake of collecting, but because they saw that as the only way to end conflict, which was their main purpose.

[@TheWolfalpino]

exactly

[@Mazaroth]

4:35 Umm... no? Protheans didn't create the citadel, reapers did long before protheans even existed, this was established even in the first game, it was a huge mass effect relay linking into the dark space where the reapers hid between the cycles.

[@tumbleweed459]

Thank you! That was bugging me too.

[@Madnsanity]

Same thing with the mass relays which he also said was made by protheans.

[@toomanyaccounts]

Some relays were probably made by the Protheans. They would have been long around enough to create some.

[@Blackhawk211]

@@toomanyaccounts no. Vigil says the protheans only barely started researching mass relay technology before the reapers came

[@toomanyaccounts]

​remember red ending shows the relays being repaired and hence if you can rebuild them, then you should be able to build new ones. a miniature mass relay should be way harder to make work then a full size mass relay.

[@Incred_Canemian]

I thought this would be more alternate history vs real history but I guess Mass Effect doesn't have a lot of that. This did help me visualize when events of the Mass Effect universe took place much better.

[@aceman67]

The history of Earth is exactly the same as ours up until present day (2016) the Mass Effect universe, there's a reason why present day history references aren't widely mentioned in the ME Codex's.

[@omaralcazar6928]

+aceman67 Plus it's hundreds of years later maybe thousands can't remember

[@yeet1142]

+Omar Alcazar it's about one hundred almost two. Mass effect 1-3 takes place in 2180's

[@BlueBD]

It wasn't that far. What catapulted us was the discovery of Protheon Tech on mars, then the mass relay. It was only a hundredish years from now. And is also why The aliens are so astonished by humans. By which the raw speed in-which we enriched ourselves compared to the other races.

[@toomanyaccounts]

Plus able to go toe to toe with the Turians. Then expand crazily though the galaxy economy when humans figured out what goods to make either culturally or mechanically that would get aliens to buy them in droves. Some of the minor races got pissed that humans were likely going to get a council seat in less then a hundred years while their race had waited over a 1000 years or more to get on the council.

[@MassEffectFollowers]

What do you think of this comparison? I also want to mention that the images I used for the Arthenn and the Thoi'Han are not official images. I couldn't find any images of those two races so I used alien races that were concept. Same goes for some early history images. I couldn't find exact images for what I was talking about but I tried my best.

[@jameslegrand848]

is the gameplay at the start from the next game ?

[@Adamwofford]

wrong, dating human or animals remains isn't carbonated, with carbon has half life of 5000 years, they used other dating systems

[@Adamwofford]

Yeah, I really enjoy this idea, hope my first didn't come off rude, but looking forward to the next one

[@mitchellman32]

I enjoyed this and I've always enjoyed Lore. Please finish the series

[@warfightersanonymous7760]

The "Shang Destiny" was my favorite. *Dynasty

[@happy14945]

Nice video, but the citadel wasn't built by the protheans but the reapers. :) Hence massive relay. also the reason why the protheans lost. their capital was also in the citadel and that got qiped out in an instant

[@DreadfulDisaster30]

Hold on. Hold on. The gameplay in the video. Is this Mass Effect DLC? Or a mod? I don't recall seeing anything like this before.

[@MassEffectFollowers]

Mass Effect 2 Overlord DLC

That music.... as soon as I hear that music I get such an urge to go back and play through the trilogy, sounds like I'll be starting another run soon :D

[@dragontokill9460]

im still seeing things ive never seen before in mass effect, like that vehicle in the opening

+dragon to kill (linc) firewalker is free but Overlord isn't

[@quirkyadventures1722]

+Memorandom lol then i doubt he would of got the argument in the cargo hold with James protesting that the Hammerhead is better then the Mako

[@eragon666s]

ahhh Mass Effect the only good series of game to rival the lore of Halo.......

[@megadeathx]

Not surprising since the design team has roots in lore that dwarfs Halo. Try Star Wars on for size, and remember that the same team (before they decided to branch into their own IP) created Knights of the Old Republic based on a deal that they had to either stay within canon on everything -OR- start in a part of the lore's history where the events would have no significant impact on the original trilogy, nor the (then being released) prequel trilogy, nor the many licensed novels already written. Yeah, these people make lore like no other.

[@kofola9145]

I am sorry, but Mass Effect lore is an anthropocentric nonsence. Like when every planet in the galaxy has the same axial tilt as the Earth. "Less fortunate regions have not progressed beyond 20th century technology". Are they telling me that Africa and India and what else have not progressed beyond the year 2000 technology in the year 2180? That somebody can put this on paper is one thing, but that anybody can think this level of writing is good is mind f blowing.

[@alexsitaras6508]

the elder scrolls has very deep and interesting lore, i would bring up the witcher but that's based of a series of 5 full length novels so it doesnt really fit

[@zoharborage6609]

Halo lore is horrible ME is much better.

[@SonicTheFrenchHorn]

He also says nucular instead of nuclear.

[@Direwolf9818]

Learning that humans are barely new to interglacial space travel make me wonder if we never found the prothien tech on Mars we would have spearheaded the next galactic civilization

[@silverdragon7385]

I was rewatching this old gem when I realized something. The Krogan reached the nuclear age *19,000 years ago*. If they hadn't screwed themselves over, they could have discovered mass effect technology only a few centuries down the line. And since they have a mass relay in their system, it's highly likely they'd become a intragalatic superpower tens of thousands of years before the asari even left their home system

[@StephySon]

I have been looking for a reliable Mass Effect channel for a while and I think u are it. You've got my subscription, this was fascinating. I wasn't even aware of some of the ancient parts of human history

[@Polish_Gopnik]

dude, i love that when we were smashing stones against each other, kroegen had nuclear cruise missiles. Blows my mind

[@wanderingwilderness1954]

I really enjoyed this video... I think it adds a great deal of more insight into the continuity of the lore. I am a Krogan supporter through and through and I am not sure they had nuclear weapons though in 19,000 BC I mean if that was the case, they for sure would have destroyed the reapers single handed by the time they came but then again they did anyway....

[@azraelselvmord3650]

Jesus Christ we really weren't ready for Spectre status. He barely knew how to walk and they were flying. Awesome video, man 10/10

[@slopedarmor]

The Protheans did not make the mass effect relays and the citadel, those were made by the reapers... The Protheans merely found them like all the cycles before them.

[@panzer4391]

I believe Tuchanka went into nuclear winter 1900 BC. Not 19000 BC.

[@cagdas_demir_albayrak]

Jericho is not the oldest civilization. Gobeklitepe is the oldest. It is a recent discovery though

[@MassEffectFollowers]

I said that Jericho is the oldest civilization that is still inhabited. The city of Jericho is still populated. The one you sent me (which good find by the way, didn't know about this one), was abandoned about 10,000 years ago

[@cagdas_demir_albayrak]

Probably misheard it then. Sorry

[@ImperativeGames]

It wasn't abandoned 10 000 years ago, it's older then 10 000 B.C., and had temples before 6 000 B.C., after that it became undeground and they used place on the surface for farming.. Which gives whole new meaning to word "acceleration" (of progress). If thingls will keep going they were going, we are going to colonize Andromeda in 100 years =)

[@leesegler401]

I know it's a game but when it's put into perspective; Humans were just learning how to create pottery while the other major races were mastering interstellar travel. It's easy to see from a lore perspective why the other races (especially the council) aren't too fond of human ambition, it took them entire eons of existence to get where they are and it only took us a few hundred thousand years to become the next major players on the Galactic stage.

[@poslednisoud]

"... and they create the citadel" *gets triggert* REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@m4cksfx]

I always understood the deal with Leviathans, Reapers, "betrayal" etc. as a kind of literal mided misunderstanding. "Preserve all organic life forever" - as in record EVERYTHING there is to record about it, digitalize it to the last, tiniest bit, up to disintegrating and scanning each specimen; repeat until there is no organic life in the galaxy anymore. After the individual Reapers became self-aware regardless of the Catalyst, they started sort of enjoying it, but still were simply following orders. Kind of like "save all humans" in the Doctor Who episode with the library, realised by uploading their consciousnesses(?) to a virtual reality and getting rid of the bodies.

[@chesstoad]

this is the craziest history i've ever seen

[@Nikolaj11]

I had this playing in the background, so when you suddenly said what I thought was "the intelligence created puns" at 1:31 I had to do a rewind. That was funny. Now I'm just imagining the Leviathans hiding down there becayse they got tired of the Catalyst's constant bad puns.

[@ammobake]

It seems like the Asari would be further along in my opinion because per ME3 they had direct access to the Prothean Beacon on Thessia (but obviously kept it hidden from the rest of the Galaxy).

I never thought about the fact that humans were already around when the Protheans were being wiped out. This is a really cool video, comparing actual human history, to what aliens would have been doing during that same time. Imagine this actually taking place. Us, a developping civilization, while there could be other civilizations out there that are already space-faring :) It's a cool thing to think about really. Or maybe I'm just too interested in science (-fiction) and futuristic stuff haha

[@andreborges73]

it's interesting to know that the other races ( that lives during our age period ) developed so much faster than us. Oh, another good thing would making a parallel story of the races that live during our times, to really understand, how much they took to reach the citadel, just like you did, but from their beginnings, if it's known of course, this is written story after all, XD.

[@brianburke4756]

I love Mass Effect, the series. I only wish they had done more with it. I know that sounds strange, but each location we went to had a limited area of exploring and helping others. I wanted to explore more of each colony, help them out more, see more of the area. Mass Effect was a great achievement, but I think they should have expanded each game more than merely two discs, as absurd as they may sound. Take Omega for example, everything in that 10 million populated city was right there in that little tiny area for you. They should have had more cut-scenes showing travel to various distant areas, like monorails, or trans lifts to the mother of the woman whose daughter was murdered by the Justicar's daughter. It would have been better if each location took up an entire disc-worth of space. And I would have liked the game to have a few more cut-scenes. Also, one note, did anyone else think the way Shepard was running was strange? I'm not kidding. I think it was in the second Mass Effect game his body was running in the strangest manner for a human. So weird.

Quite right the citadel is reaper Tec and the where the the intelligence has always lived, and as stated every previous cycle is driven to make it their capital, and also a trap laid by the reapers so they can wipe out their leadership, and the citadel is literally a mass relay.

[@SweedSleds95]

The Krogan nuclear age did'nt start 19,000 BC, but 2,000 BC - or 4,000 years ago. The Protheans did'nt build the Citadel, the Reapers did. The Protheans were not the first species to occupy the station. This video is so full of flaws and incorrect information...

Guys think about it. There is no reason to think that right now super advanced races are having an intergalactic battle and we just don't know about it. What if one day our "overseers" come down and are like. "It's for all those in our dominion" to join the fight. And we all get drafted into this crazy intergalactic battle lol.

great video! maybe i'm fals but isn't the citadel build by the reapers and not by the protheans but most thought it would be prothean work but in fact it was the mass portal to the orcus nebular fpr the reapers?

[@MassEffectFollowers]

No, you are right. That was a mistake I made as a mistype in my script that I didn't review. A BIG MISTAKE I MADE.

[@mckrackin5324]

I noticed.lol...Great video though.

The Pluvian events blew my mind!

[@James-ep2bx]

I don't know if anyone else mentioned it already but from what I remember from the games wasn't the intelligence's goal to find a solution to the organic vs synthetic problem not to save organic life? after all that's the reason the synthesis and harvest options was even viable from it point of view because even if people continued to fight each other so long as everyone was both synthetic and organic it would fill it's prime directive

[@sergiokaminotanjo]

Organic life was the entire problem , that was the answer of synthetics (the indoctrinated Geth and "Reapers")

I forgot about the Insunnanon entirely.

wish I could lived forever to make journals of historic activity logs...i really want to learn more about our entire universe and witness all that...and this game is amazing since its close to reality but still sci-fiction

[@yertnert2624]

I love history and lore of our lives and games

[@tlotpwist3417]

Humans are the Bad Luck Brians of the mass effect saga. Discovers mass effect space travel, alien races,biotic powers and all things cools > get the Reaper cycle only three decades after it

[@duanebeck3343]

You should have mentioned Göbeklitepe in Turkey which is the oldest known temple structure built around 12,500 BC. Much of it looks similar to Stonhenge but far older.

[@asiannn777]

woah how come i've never heard of these giant rainstorms before. thanks for the new knowledge

[@MassEffectFollowers]

Out of all the historic events I mentioned, people really seem to latch onto the huge rainstorms

[@epictaffio1755]

Before I played the Leviathan DLC, I thought the Reapers were just giant death beetles
