And the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large chulapas. And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three.

You neglected to mention that one of the strengths of the trebuchets were how easy they were to build. Most siege engines were built on-site, from local materials. You didn't need any special spring, or elastic rope, and you didn't have to generate the force to wind up any tension. You didn't even need to find and move a big rock, because as you showed, the counterweight could be a box filled with smaller rocks.

Just burst out through the 'shell' (for lack of a better term)? Or, alternatively. they could wait until nightfall and then slip out, making for the main town gates to open them and let in the main army, neutralising people as they went, like assassin style ...not sure why you'd need that many people for that though, as more people draws more attention

I have made extensive research in univeristy on the Longbow in particular. Here's one thing most people get wrong: 1 - It was a specialist weapon. The "peasants" that used the longbows where trained from the age of 6 to do so. As they where very useful, they made a lot of money as soldiers and most of them wheren't serfs, but Free men. 2 - It had some penetrating power, expecially at short range. It could go trough chainmail at medium distance, but you had to be very close to go thtough plate. The types of arrows also evolved in regards with this : you don't need to go through plate if you knock them with a 280 pounds bow shooting a 3 foot long arrow with a large diameter and a very heavy tip. It will just knock them out cold receiving a huge volley of them. 3 - They aren't cheap. The rope was made of silk and they require very specific materials and very specialized workers to produce.

The usage of the terms BCE/CE is based on an odd reasoning. It is used as a secular version of AD/BC, yet it still follows the divide of history built on the speculated date of Jesus' birth. It tries to be non-religious, but still acknowledges an inherently religion-based timeline.

This is a pretty poorly researched video. The gunpowder ship did NOT break the siege of antwerp, it sure broke part of the dam they built to blockade but given nobody checked for the damage they didn't use it to attack and by the time the dutch army arrived a few months later in order to try to relieve the city it was already rebuilt. In the end they used a faint attack with ships that were disguised as these gunpowder ships but actually armed with men to take one of the dams, it worked at first but got countered by the enemy general. Antwerp never was freed and eventually surrendered after around 3 years of being besieged.
