I love history documents and black death / plague is one of my favorite things! Tho one thing in this video, what really bothered me and ruined the video, was the music. It was way too loud, covering narrator's voice almost completely - even that I used headphones. Couldn't finish the video. I was able to watch 4 minutes but then I stopped since the music, really, was too loud and covering narrator's voice... Shame. Maybe, with future videos, keep the music but don't make or keep it so loud. It's supposed to be more silently on the background. It's more important to hear people's words than the music :)

[@anncoffey8375]

I totally agree. I would rather have silence or the sounds of the surroundings than music, and especially music that is loud and/or frenetic and has nothing to do with the images. Sometimes the music is so awful I turn off the volume and turn on the subtitles, but hearing no sound is not very satisfactory either. Like you, I just stop watching and look for something else that is less intrusive. I wish producers would pay attention to this!

[@oscarsusan3834]

Not me,….I’m donating my body to science, because I think it’s so important as a learning tool (so to speak), as a way to better the medical science onto our future generations. I got the idea when I was a nurse years ago and worked for an orthopedic surgeon. One day,..he did a teaching video on a newly found way to fix an arthritic knee due to injury or just degeneration from age,..and…he used a cadaver leg to perform the procedure in order to produce the video to other surgeons and those who were still learning in medical school. He invited me to join him and to help with retraction of tissue/muscle, etc. It was very interesting to say the least. I remember thinking to myself,..that I admired the man who had donated his own body after death to medical science. His other body parts went to where ever they were needed as well, in order for more teaching/learning tools of the human body. After your body parts are all used,..they will cremate and return to family at no charge. I know this may sound weird and morbid for many others,..but it’s how we humans learn about our bodies and gives opportunity to those going into the medical field. Body donation at least stopped the times/era of when grave body robbing and selling to those studying medical science! ❤️🌈
