The fact that we get free documentaries from National Geographic on KZbin is priceless .... keeping the education and knowledge alive. 🙏🙏🙏

[@Twerkulies]

National Geographic didn't take the same route that History Channel did in the early 2010's. They still want to teach you and spread knowledge, whereas History Channel is more focused now on making money and entertaining tv shows over teaching. Don't get me wrong, History Channel still makes good stuff to learn from, but they're nowhere near what they used to be.

[@andrewramirez9119]

Well put Mister, thank you Mr. KZbin.

Amazing what technology has become. The video part revealing the ocean floor and its treasures is especially awe inspiring. National Geographic is a world treasure.

[@MiniMC546]

Please release more of the Drain The Ocean episodes free for all to watch. Gonna be waiting for the episode with HMHS Britannic.

[@kakarroto007]

Only National Geographic could masterfully tell such a captivating story, which begins with a simulated dredging of a Imperial Japanese war ship and ends with how fiber optic cable is laid on the sea floor.

[@Sapper-X]

Agreed…..however, there is sooo much more that that public isn’t told for various reasons and that isn’t right.

[@FliightLiine]

@@Sapper-X what do you need to know. I got all the answers.

[@suskagusip1036]

@@Sapper-X Please watch Surigao golds in Butuan and Philippine Golds: Treasures of the lost Kingdoms. It proves how busy is this part of the ocean. I personally don't believe in Magellan spice lies. This explains here. He was already in Malacca/Malaysia and saw the busy trades of our Ancestors and our islands in the Philippines is one of their hubs. We so many sunkin ships around our islands from WW II and the Manila Galeon trade. These golds accidentally found were approximately around 11th/12 centuries back but there's more to uncover way back before that.

[@harryricochet8134]

Delgado is a total dunce, his universally panned book 'USS Arizona' is one of the worst pieces of naval history literature ever produced let alone on such a widely known topic. It is an unmitigated disgrace, littered with factual inaccuracies and outright fabrication. Grove and Stille and brilliant.

I miss education television. There's less and less of it. It's almost like there are powers that want to limit the amount of intelligent, educated people in the world.

Its simpler than that; its a short term focus on revenue only. Also concentration of capital in a few behemoths; that's all.

I'm afraid -almost like- isn't quite right. it is more along the lines of exactly what's happening

One error they made though: Yamato was not named after Yamato-damashii. It was named after the Yamato-province (modern day Nara Prefecture). All Japanese Battleships were named after the old provinces: Yamato, Musashi, Nagato, Mutsu, Hyuga, Ise, etc.

The USS Tang was sunk by it's last torpedo in the Taiwan Strait during WWII. Some of her crew survived and a few got out after she sank by using the Momsun Lung and the forward escape hatch. She is in about 250 feet of water, yet no one has ever tried to locate her. Is there a reason China and Taiwan won't allow anyone to survey wrecks in the Strait?

[@lagrangewei]

politically US does not recognise UNCLOS, and so does not recognise China's right, asking China for the right to survey would undermine US political position and so it would be better to not ask. beside, no one cares enough about the Tang in Washingston. there are 120 of them build.

I always love and trust National Geographic. At least National Geographic reports its finding to the best of its knowledge, not spreading false history or outrageous discoveries. I have followed National Geographic since I was around 17, roughly 1/2 a century ago. I guess this is the fruit of a free press society. But I do believe that many of our news media are immensely influenced by interest groups.
