While Colombus was mistaken in thinking it was the indies, he actually knew there was land around where the americas are. He studied the flotsam that was arriving on the coasts of Morroco, and calculated that it was a far bigger quantity than if there was nothing there. His explanation was that the world was smaller than people thought, and since the size of the world is relatively easy to calculate he was taken for an idiot, but he wasn't heading into the ocean without any idea of what he was doing.

@@iKvetch558 not many repeat voyages may have been attempted but we tend to underestimate how well known those voyages were back then. There is some evidence that those stories were being spread in Italy around the time Columbus was alive. Regardless, substantiating any histoical claim from that long ago is difficult because for every scrap of evidence that survived there is likely much much more that didn't. But I'll admit my biases here. I despise our celebration of Columbus and how our history ignores what kind of person he was. He may have had some expertise but clearly his calculations of the earths size was wrong. He was a brutal dude and even his own family despised him for his cruelty.

On your point about starting off with nuclear, solar, and wind energy during the industrial revolution, the issue I see is that the energy yield possible from these sources at the time was significantly less than that available from fossil fuels. I mean we'd been using wind and water power for mills for a long time, but figuring out how to use it to generate electricity and power homes and land transportation was, I think, a bit beyond us back then.

My absolute favorite part of this video, at least for me, is that due to its quick pace, even as a history lover, you may make connections between events that you previously thought bared no relevance to each other, if that makes sense. The simplified condensation of history allows you to see the through-line in the timeline you (or I should say I) previously never connected relevance between. As a history nerd, that is a level of geek out I’m embarrassed to admit. 😅 But as a lover of humor above even history/science/sociology/linguistics, I love this video for that alone.

7:30 I like that Bill Wurtz actually accurately marked where there were some tin deposits during his explanation of bronze. Tin is actually really uncommon compared to other metals, and in the Bronze Age there were only two major tin deposits big enough for the entire Bronze Age Civilization in the Near East: Britain, and Afghanistan. _Neither_ locations were a pleasant breeze to get to, mine tin, and come back, all while still alive.

@kristofevarsson690310 ай бұрын
@@jokitalinda10 Very well could've been, but if it would've been depleted so quickly after the ability to work with it was developed then it wasn't very big and therefore wouldn't have been significant enough to go down in history like the other two. For example, Cyprus was the main supplier of tin for the Bronze Age Civilizations around the Eastern Mediterranean. It had a lot, but at the height of the Bronze Age it simply didn't have enough, hence the demand for tin from places as far away as Britain and Afghanistan. There were some small-time tin mines in places like Spain, but most mining done there was for silver, because Spain is (was) positively silver rich. Silver was so concentrated in Spain that when Carthage lost to Rome in the First Punic War, the Barcid dynasty went to Spain to conquer all the silver mines to pay off both their mercenaries AND the war reparations owed to Rome, and _still_ had enough money to be so rich they basically privately-funded their own campaigns during the Second Punic War.

10:00 I think the thing with Alexander the Great was that he was dying and he was surrounded by the Generals that wanted power, and they said Alexander said the successor should be "Kratistoi" or "to the strongest" but its very likely Alexander actually said "Krateroi" or "to Krateros", who was one of his generals that wasnt there. The people present probably heard him correctly but just pretended to hear the wrong thing so they could have equal chances to become the new head honcho.

Honestly, you have to blast past a whole lot like Bill Wurtz to teach World History in a reasonable amount of time. It is _very_ easy to complain about other countries (Middle East, Africa, & Asia) not being covered, but don't seem to understand the sheer difficulty of having to restrict so much of what matters into a school year. And at the college level, it becomes contained within semesters (and into specific topics if wanting to go in-depth). One reason I believe people have so much difficulty trying to understand that humans evolved from monkeys is the sheer span of time that is involved. For example: Harrison Ruffin Tyler (born November 9, 1928 and currently still alive) is the grandson of John Tyler (March 29, 1790 - January 18, 1862), who served as the tenth president of the United States. Harrison Tyler is currently 94 years old. *[Putting the life of Harrison Ruffin Tyler into perspective (November 9, 1928 to July 12, 2023)]* en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_20th_century#1928 And this is just one person living in America born in the same year as the invention of *_bubble gum._*

Just last month I tried explaining, as an electrical engineer myself too, to a Japanese person how having MORE nuclear energy is better in the long run and on the larger, international world scale, even though having solar panels and wind turbines may make them personally feel better about themselves and their immediate surroundings. Her response was just to tell me that I need to take responsibility of my words. Heck yeah I would, but people keep being scared about even the word "nuclear" so it's quite damn difficult to do anything to take responsibility of in the first place! 😁

Yeah discovering nuclear power before the industrial revolution would have likely been a nightmare. Everything from making the fuel to actually using it would cost a lot of lives to radiation poisoning without machines. Those machines also must be made by other machines, since even a 0,05% error in a lot of parts' dimensions, or material uniformity, could make the machine fail. Handmade machines would fail too often or be too simple to operate safely around the radiation

I think a good example to consider is Babbage's analytical engine. Entirely possible on paper, and way ahead of it's time(1837 versus commercial success of tabulating machines in 1924), but even with a massive budget. The tight machining tolerances required meant a lot of the work was rejected, and so the costs ballooned out of control. This impossible stopgap concept was actually something James Webb had to convince J.F.K. of. President Kennedy wanted to build a rocket to send men to the moon on what was basically a shoestring budget(by comparison to what ended up happening) with little to no oversight or trials. Plenty of people throughout history have tried to jump ahead of the curve, but there has to be the body of work to build off of, ex nihilo nihil fit. If someone tries to skip steps to reach a conclusion ahead of time they'll either find out someone else beat them to it, concurrent and forgotten discoveries are fairly common throughout history, or they might take the wrong approach and fall behind due to feasibility problems. There's another option too, they may be staunchly secretive and take their discovery to their grave like Leeuwenhoek and what should have been a hugely beneficial lens manufacturing technique. However he feared his work being considered derivative of Hooke's and chose secrecy instead of progress.

14:09 From their perspective, it was though: Holy -> because the Pope crowned the Emperor Roman -> because they saw themself as the Roman Empire 2.0 Empire -> again because of the whole "Roman Empire 2.0"-thing. Also, their leader was an Emperor. Also, it's worth noteing that in Germany, it's called "Heiligies Roemisches Reich Deutscher Nation" with a "Reich" being an ambigious word that can refer to many different kind of realms including but not limited to dukedoms, kingdoms and, of course, empires. So it could also be translated as "Holy Roman Kingdom of the german nation".

Highly destructive for the US/USSR as they would be directly hit. Nuclear winter is complicated, and there is a lot of uncertainty in terms of how much it would do.

So, not “the end of the world”.
