Fun Fact: there have been multiple wars over salt throughout history

[@zeroxthesoldat4410]

Knowing that i'm now convinced the term "salty" existed before and that it meant something VERY different.

[@toxicequinox4749]

Can't forget about the war around religion Edit:thanks for the likes

[@Dan-B]

The wealth of many individuals and societies were once based on who owned the most salt, since it was such an expensive commodity, and for a while was the most expensive. It’s why there are places with names like “Salzburg” (Salt Castle) and places with the suffix “wich” (denoting it as a place where salt was made)

[@xenotypos]

Yeah, there are multiple ressources that are abdondant today (thx to modern society) which were very valuable in the past. Most people rarely understand that. Salt and spices didn't just make food more tasty, they were preservative. In particular, salt was sometimes indispensable to survive winter. And for the record, during the Mali empire in west Africa, salt was more valuable than gold (which really just has the value people give it, so when there is gold everywhere, it becomes worthless, as it has never been vital).

[@mr.bluefox3511]

Granted, most people has to understand some history subject, even & the context around it, ect ... just to see the a bigger picture & and understand it, which will eventually related to our every days life one way or another. It also took some effort to explain it to everyone too, so at least we must be prepared & knowledgeable enough to do so ... and probably look like a teacher-ish (if you wasn't one already).

Most people including scientists are much more down with the Ethiopian theory although genetically speaking it has been determined that Mitochondrial Eve was from central Africa, therefore the birthplace of humanity according to genetics in much more likely to be what we call now the Democratic Republic of Congo . - First human genetic divergence from M.Eve and migration (L0) in the era of Zambia and Zimbabwe - 2nd (L1) around the Niger River - (L2) in the era of Mali and Mauritania ( from were the first Maroccan people originate from !) - then there is L3, all the era around Egypt, including Ethiopia which is the biggest line of the 3 first lines of human divergence ( first blood lines ) with L0 and L1 ! - L2 descends from L1. - L4 , L5 and L6 descends from L3 ( aka Egypt ( and Ethiopia ) - L0a and L0f are found around Tanzania , Yemen and Mozambique and descends directly from L0 has conserved much in common with the Mitochondrial Eve’s bloodline than L1 , L2, L3 , L4 , L5 , L6 bloodlines ! - from L3 which is found more commonly around Egypt descends mitochondrial group M and mitochondrial group N from which the rest of the non African people descends from. M and N is theorized to have originally split from L3 in the era we call now Iran , but there is a theory that M split in Ethiopia because of the large concentration of the haplogroup there and in other places in Africa. If this is true the we could consider Ethiopia as the 2nd Birthplace of Humanity ! The other theory is that M did split from L3 in Iran but some of those decided to resettle In Ethiopia after spliting again from the main M group. - M is the mother bloodline of all Eurasians ( China , Japan , Bangladesh , Korea , Nepal ,Tibet , North Africans including Moroccans , and the Middle-East ( Iran) the Levant , Libya, Anatolia , Israel , Palestine , Egypt , and « Mesopotamia » , Siberians , Native American, and Albania , Grece , South Italia , South of France , Actual Caucasian people from Caucasus, North Africa ) , everygoddamnwhere ! - N is the brother group of M and find its origins in Iran as well , it is primarily found in Eurasia , North Africa, Somalia and Middle-East and is found massively in the Ashkenaze groups ( European Jewish people) From N descends a whole bunch of haplogroups , found in Africa , Asia , Europe , Oceania , America as well ! Anyway that to say that neither Marocco nor Ethiopia are the Birthplace place of humanity according to genetic data , tho Ethiopia has a better chance at being the second Birthplace of humanity then Marocco that is for sure ! According to data the Birthplace of Humanity is what we call Congo now and the secondary Birthplaces of humanity are Zimbabwe, Niger , Mauritania , Egypt and Iran 😀

In an interesting anecdote, one of the primary reasons for the Crusades was something to do with the hundreds of thousands of trained knights and soldiers that grew from Europe having to fight the Vikings for a century. Following the end of the Viking era, all these unemployed militants started ravaging the peasants on behalf of Feudal lords and the church needed a way to stop this. Thus the Pope sought to kill 2 birds with one stone as the Roman church has ALWAYS sought to gain secular power through conquering and wars.

I've seen the original video sooo many times. Your take and reactions on it were on one hand so wholesome, and on the other so well-informed. I really really enjoyed your enthusiasm and commentary. I watched a couple of other reacts, yours is the best. hands down.

[@poggies7639]

As an Irishman I really feel that comment regarding colonialism. We probably wouldn’t have finally recovered like we did with our economic explosion in the mid 90s if not for the benefits of the European Union etc. it’s so sad to see so many people in “developed” countries not realise why former colonies are often poor, a lot of them don’t even realise it’s because of colonialism

[@fly463]

Yeah India was the richest having 24% of the world gdp before colonized after they gone it went to 3%. But now we are recovering and will reach top 3 by 2026-27☺️

I have watched this video and watched people watch this video dozens of times and what I've come to love most about it is how it helps me throw human history into context with itself.

[@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935]

I love this video. I've seen it multiple times now. And I keep seeing something I missed previously each time. I try to catch the yrs that he adds on the side to see how long ago events were. And some of that wasn't even that long ago. Loved your viewing of this.

[@adjjal]

Your talk about what your dad used to talk to you about the colonisation of Africa and how that has affected countries into the present and near future was super enlightening and interesting thank u for sharing, it helped me to understand more about that topic that I really want to learn about more. You're so knowledgeable about so much its super cool and so educational and enjoyable to watch :)

true, but they're also made differently to most other meatballs, and taste quite different when on their own. Speaking as a Swede

The Crusades had a more practical reason behind it other than "Reclaim The Holy Land!". The majority of European powers which included the nations and the Church felt the encroaching Islamic Caliphates were a threat to their power and reign and needed a way to stem the tide. It's a pretty broad reason I know and doesn't cover a lot of details but it's the jist of it and it might make Europeans sound power hungry but one thing to keep in mind was in the majority of places the Muslim Caliphates conquered they forced conversion on the native populace and any one who didn't convert were treated like second class citizens at best or killed at worst so The Crusades weren't without merit.

While I agree with what you're saying in regards to the first and second Crusade, by the time the third Crusade began the religious fervour for reclaiming and holding onto Jerusalem had definitely become a major factor. Interestingly though in regards to the first Crusade, when the Emperor of Constantinople sent a missive to the Pope asking for assistance against the invasion of the Seljuk Turks, he didn't actually call for a Crusade. I'm not saying he wasn't grateful for the Franks (the umbrella term used for Europeans by eastern civilizations) halting the Seljuk advance and weakening their hold on Anatolia, but he only expected the Pope to send mercenaries that could maintain his hold on the territories the Seljuks hadn't invaded yet. One can imagine his surprise when he instead received a veritable migration of kings and their retinues.

[@irtazaazam6972]

The forced conversion thing is a myth. And Christians also had the benefit of avoiding any military draft (until the Janisarries but that's much later)

[@syystomu]

The time travel question is really interesting actually because on the one hand I specialise in the 19th century, and that's what I'd get the most out of personally if I were to travel back there, also the languages would be easy to understand, but at the same time I feel like going further back would be much more valuable because we have less surviving documents from those eras. So maybe bronze age, or even earlier. I agree with a lot of the other people in the comments that it's always way more fun to see reactions to this video from people who actually know about history, and physics too for that matter. It's so packed with references that I think it overwhelms most people a little bit

[@JuiceboxTheShuckle]

Awesome reaction, mate. Bill wurtz took like a year I think to make this video, between research and aditing and everything. Scripting took him so long that by the end he did the whole thing in one recording (not sure if true, but I've read that a lot times). And yes, it is amazing how all of that history could be summerized in such a short video, which first, doesn't feel short because of the amount of information, but also doesn't feel long, because it keeps you paying attention to it the whole time. Regular watching of it is recommended, I usually do it like 3 or 4 times a year, along with watching other people's reaction to it. One of my favorites is one from a russian guy, can't remember the name, his reaction video lasts about an hour and a half, because he stops and talks about the history he knows during it, recommend giving that a watch as well. Againg, great reaction. Greetings from Chile!

[@TrashParty]

I was raised by my grandfather and one thing I learned the older I got was that all of his stories are true. Sure they might be a little bit colorful and obviously the younger I was the more he left out but as I started doing research I quickly found out all the things he experienced. So trust me when I tell you if your grandfather has told you stories they are probably true

If I could go with some kind of "keep me safe" suit, I might like to go to the carboniferous. Two foot long dragonflies just sounds gnarly. If we're being less fanciful [ya know, about time travel] and keeping it to reasonable, human-supporting times..... Maybe catch a Paganini performance. Or Andres Segovia. Or, for something dark and impactful, maybe go look in the eyes of the first people to be on the opposing side in a fight against "greek fire". That would stick with you and motivate some empathy IF however we're also assuming I can actually do something and not just watch, I mean c'mon, I'm gonna go slap the people who tried to implement the Trail of Tears. There are more large-scale impact kinda things I could do, sure, but that one has always stuck with me so.... That might be where I'd go. Then leave a note that says "In about 60-70 years, you're gonna wanna stab a dude named "Adolf" at the first opportunity" Now I'm thinking about it, if indeed I can only watch, it's also possible I would just go watch a George Carlin show. Never got to see him before he passed and he's my spirit animal

It's so hard to pick a time period and place I would like to visit. Although, it would be so cool to see something before it got destroyed, like the Maya codices (books written by the Maya civilization in central America, pre-Columbian) or the library of Alexandria. To just be able to see all the knowledge and culture, to learn from it, before it was lost forever would be such a gift. What a tragic waste that people saw fit to destroy all of that.
