You should do countries with similar name: Guinea and Papua New Guinea Great Britain and Brittany Switzerland and Sweden Wales and Gaul/Gallia (in Romanian we call Wales "Țara galilor" (Land of the Gals) and Gaul "Galia" (which people we also call Gals), is there a connection? Wales and Wallachia (also is there proof that Wallachians didn't call themselves Romanians?) Also in Romanian we call Latvia "Letonia" so it could be interseting to see a video on it with either Lithuania or Estonia or all three of them Turkey and Turkmenistan Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakstan, ...

Since you mention the Louvre Pyramid, I'd like to take the time to point out a similarly recently constructed pyramid in the US, the Memphis Pyramid in Memphis, Tennessee. The US city by the Mississippi River was named after the Egyptian city by the Nile known for its pyramids, so decided to build a modern one there. As a small sports stadium. When I was living there it was most known for Arena Football, some kind of compressed version of the US hand-egg sport. According to Wikipedia the Memphis Pyramid is 98 meters tall, over four times that of the Louvre Pyramid, which made me think it might be worth mentioning.

9:17 "The name of the city comes from Arabic ER-GES-HER". Heck no. I don't know if the mistake was in the word itself or the pronunciation, but that sounds like nothing in Arabic, certainly not anything close to "Near the high". And for the record, while the city's name is pronounced the way you do in some dialects (including Egyptian), but it's "Jiiza" in "Fus-ha". One possible meaning I got from an Arabic dictionary is "side of the valley". I'm not familiar with the geography, though.

@@SantomPh That’s the exact opposite of the truth. Baltistan’s actual name is Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Pakistan has been illegally occupying it for a while. It is claimed by India.
