The Philippines was only a colony of the US for only 48 years. Your chart shows aboit 150 years. With this error, the credibility of your book and charts come into question. Why should I buy your book/charts? Will you be coming out with a new book with the correction, and possible corrections of your other probable errors?

[@bigbadjohn8079]

I had to subscribe and like this video for especially one reason. I really appreciated the sales plug for the book at the beginning. By telling people to go to independent book stores rather than just go to Amazon or online in general was something I had never heard before on KZbin. It was refreshing to hear and I am sure booksellers greatly appreciate it. I would love to hear more media creators express this kind of sentiment. Thank you.

Philippines was only an American colony for 48 years. The voiceover was correct, not the pop-up edit of 150 years.

Yep. The Spanish American War was in 1898.

If you will look closer, the graph itself is wrong. It will show 150 years.. And also Spanish era doesn't start in 1521 (which the graph shows) but should only be in 1565 (occupation of Cebu)

It’s not right to say the Dravidian culture merged with indo Aryan culture in the time of the Nandas. Recent genetic studies proved that the Indo-Aryans Who came around 2000-1500 BC merged with the Dravidians and the pre existing tribal societies to form a composite Indian culture. Obviously they were a lot of regional differences but from what I see in ancient Tamil Sangam literature, There’s enough evidence to prove that these cultures started mixing way before 400 BC. Sramana moments have been found all over ancient India even though it originated in Magada and many typically Hindu gods such as Krishna were equally prominent in the north and South (it is assumed that the cult of Krishna originated from Tamilnadu). Ancient north and South Indian literature have many characters in common such as Agastya who is said to have various works attributed to him in Sanskrit but is also considered the founder of Tamil.

Migration and settlement have probably done much more to alter culture, language and ethnicity than any massive scale invasion like the invasion theory might posit. People used to just...move around a lot more often back before we had the ability to make solid borders and if enough of them moved into a space, that space would change.

[@Wkumar07]

We continue to see such migration especially in countries such as the United States and Canada.

@@Wkumar07 That we do! And those nations are all the better for it now as they were then.

[@jeffmacdonald9863]

Not sure that's true. People are far more mobile now than throughout most of history. Migration certainly used to happen, but it tended to happen on a large scale. Movements of peoples not of individuals. And those tended to function as invasions

[@anixes]

@Sayma Khan the events of Mahabharata, Ramayana and many puranic texts did occur, it's just, divine aspect was added to those stories with time. Hence, it is itihasa and come in the category of "legend" as this channel itself called Mahabharata as "legend - it is called a legend, when divine aspects are added to real life events", not mythology.

[@erth8096]

@@anixes I am from India, and in my opinion, it indeed should be called mythology because the modern versions of the Mahabharata and Ramayana were written hundreds of years after the Mahabharata and Ramayana events took place. As a result, we lack definitive evidence of their entire life or family tree. So let it be a mythology, and let's not call it a history.

It was built by the Medang Kingdom actually, but they were not a major power in the archipelago not even in Java.

Where's North Asia? In Northern Asia, which includes Siberia, and sometimes Mongolia, Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang, there's a lot of very interesting history. The indigenous people of Siberia are very diverse and with very interesting history. There's, of course, a lot of Turkic and Mongolic tribes, but also unique tribal societies only found there, some of which could be similar to indigenous American people, especially Arctic indigenous North Americans (Eskimo-Aleut and Na-Dene people which namely includes the Inuit but it isn't the onle one of those ethnic groups). For example, Yenisean peoples, or Chukchi people.

I don't think it's fair to label indigenous Australians as hunter gatherers as many different groups had quite advanced agriculture and land stewardship practices. I also believe the Moriori were in New Zealand prior to the Maori arriving

[@EchoBravo370]

That's just not true. Satellite images can show how land has been used through the ages - there is simply no hard evidence that the First Nations peoples of Australia had advanced agriculture. That claim is from a man who wants to reinterpret some writings of colonists. But it is a massive stretch of an interpretation. Satellite images are incredibly clear on many things. eg we know from satellite images that the no massive groups wandered inn the desert for 40 years in the middle east. There is simply no evidence of it, archaeologically, or using satellite images. Had that been the case, the land in the area would be very different than it is today. Using this same technology, we KNOW first nations Australians were hunter gatherers. Groups of renowned archeologists have even come out and said it is impossible.
