[@solconcordia4315]

​@@edwardmarquis4411 A U.S.A.-Government agency such as N.A.S.A. uses the metric system but our American private industries are so *massive* that they cannot convert to the metric system without losing "the number sense" of the scientists and engineers. The simple discipline to avoid billions of dollars mistakes is to always consider the unit as a multiplicative factor of the quantity being expressed and always divide or multiply by 1 to do the unit conversions. 1 inch = 2.54 cm means 1 = 2.54 cm/inch so 0.5 inch = 0.5 inch × 1 = 0.5 inch × 2.54 cm/inch = 0.5 × 2.54 cm = 1.27 cm.

(Guys give me like to let my comment rise and everyone see hem) This video has a lot of wrong informations , and i will reply to it and let all know the real First, this brother say that this two lines has a 80% of saudi population First the brother forget that this two lines has 20% from saudi land area " without the empty quarter " which is 300,000 km2 to 1,500,000 km2 Second, the brother is lying on the real numbers and say that it is 80% from the saudi population, while in the real the population on this two lines is 21 million / 33 million of saudi population, that means it's 60% from total saudi population, increase 20% in this case means he create 7 million people from nothing Note : i said it's 21 million if that inclunding abha and khamis mushait and baha region, i see it's not but this is just a gift from me to let the number higher😂 if we don't count them, it will be 19m inside and 14m outside Third, he say that on out of this lines there is no Inhabited place except medina, while in the real there is 12 (or 14) million people out of the lines, and medina is just 1.5 million people Fourth, he lied in the real reason that it's have 60% of saudi arabia population in him, he said the reason is that there is too much rain in the western part of Saudi Arabia and the western coasts I hope it's real but it's not, let me prove that you are a wrong and you speak with ignorance First, middle and north middle and north east of saudi arabia, rains more than the west saudi rains For example the average rain in riyadh is 2 times more than jeddah and madinah and yenbo And average rain in hafr al batin 3 times more than yenbo and 2 times from medina and jeddah And average rain in al gassim is higher than yenbo and jeddah and makkah and even jizan , Each separately Fifth, talking about weather and temperatures, then lies, he say that west of saudi arabia and south west is more cool and modeartion, that called tihamh Man , tihamh in the summer in dry mode is between 42-45 degrees celsius, and that marked in 7 uncoastal tihamh cities ( makkah, sabya, abu arish, muhayil, al majardah , bariq , al mokhwah ) And in the humid mode, it's between 39-42 degrees celsius with a high humidity makes the "feel temperatures" above 45 degrees celsius, and this marked in 5 coastal tihamh cities ( jeddah, yenbo, al gunfuthah, jizan, al lith ) so if compared between makkah and riyadh on average summer maximum and minimum temperatures, we see that riyadh is higher by maximum temp by less than 1 degree just on july and august While makkah is higher by more than 2 degrees in maximum temp, on may and june and september, and higher on the minimum temp by 2-3 degrees, in may and june and july and august and septermber Without counting humidity, that in tihamah even uncoastal cities has a some humidity And talk long, but we can see that there is no one place on saudi arabia has a moderation weather on summer except of sarawat mountains , but it's have just 1 million people so it's not that high on population And ofcourse the summer in tihamh is long for 7 months, while in najd just 4 and half months, and the moderation months najd has a 7 months and tihamh just 3 months Sixth, after all your follies The real reason to be 60% of saudi population, on this two lines ( knowing that he is 20% of the land area ) Is just because it has the major cities 😄 the man have talked long, and join to weather and rain Topics, and in the end if you just take makkah and jeddah and riyadh You will see that the lines will drop from 21 million to just 7 million And the Percentage from saudi population will down from 60% to 20%, hope you dont talked about it😂 So Instead of said that the line has a majorest 3 cities, and said that it's normal when you collected the majorest cities the percentage from country population will be high.. You start to say uncorrect informations And ofcourse the 3 cities being in one line was just a coincidence And each one become major for another reason than the second And in the real, the number of cities out of the line is more than the cities in him And the number of population out of the line is not far to the number in him I wish if i can put a photo, to put map showing cities on saudi arabia higher than 70k population, it's 46 cities Inside the line just 19 cities And out of him a 27 cities😂 the just reason that out of the line is 12 million while inside him is 21 million, is the two cities of riyadh and jeddah And they are 900km from each other, that means they have nothing to do with each other If you take them from the line to out of him, it's will be 22 million / 11 million Literally reversed😂 And outside the lines, there a medinah province except yenbo, eastern province except dammam, gassim province, ha'il province, najran province, eastern borders province, al-jouf province, tabuk province, baha province, 60% of asir province population I wish if i just has 1 day without see someone from : medina tabuk hail najran al-gassim al-jouf eastern province northern borders al-baha asir !, outside lines is really huge populated And inside the lines is more populated just for riyadh makkah and jeddah .. don't lying bro this is better for you !! Also in the past the most populated was : north and east and west and south, not just the west and south You talk about the biggest saudi tribes in the number even on the past, otaibah al-dawasser anizah shammar mutair harb and even more All was living on najd ! and some of them was on the north of saudi arabia Also the saudi arabia population now, has: 2.5 million on makkah city _________________ 3 million on the north 3.5 million on the middle "except riyadh" 3.75 million on jeddah city Here all are 3-5 million👈 4.0 million on the west " except makkah and jeddah " 4.5 million on the south 5.0 million on the east _________________ 7.0 million on riyadh city So it's a really perfect Mounting from 3 to 4 to 5M on all districts of the country Just when count the majorest 3 cities alone Unlike some countries ! Who no who i mean The dude from this channel put the western north and west and western south and middle and mid east parts ot the country including by coincidence the most and second most populated cities After that he said why saudi just live on this place , and make the population on the place higher by 8 million from the real from nothing .. it's really a bad lie I will give a example on england London and brimingham and manchester has a 17m/50m of england population That means 35% I will draw a small line between them dosen't contains anything except them.. and i will lie that this line has 80% of england population ! While it is clear that it lied in its real population, and a line that contains only the largest cities that met by coincidence or the line has been crooked deliberate to let them met And i will say that the line has most england population because of the high rain precipitation 😂😂

Our ancestors lived on fishing plus farming dates, and managed to live in the extreme heat by building homes out of mud, and pottery to keep their water in fair temperatures. And had water wells and natural springs to use for farming and bathing. The region was historically temporarily ruled by Turks at some time and Portuguese during a different era as well.

I would love it if you would provide the sources that you use when researching these videos! I am one of those geeks who loves to do further research into such topics, but I couldn’t find any sources in your description. I know that most people probably aren’t interested in such things, but there are still a lot of people who are, and it would be a great help to us if you could point us in the right direction! I know that you have recommended audible books before (I am not a fan of them, as they locked me out of my account and not only kept charging me for two books every month for the next year, but I lost the hundreds of books that I had already paid for), and I’ve been pleased to see that I’ve already read almost all of the books that you’ve recommended through them! However, you also talk about a lot of topics that I don’t know much about, so you’ve evidently studied sources that would be new and fascinating to me, and I would love to get my hands on them! Please consider adding a references section in the description of your videos. You clearly put so much work and research into your videos. You are objective, knowledgeable, and your maps and visuals are quite possibly the best that I have seen on KZbin! By adding your sources, you would not only be demonstrating just how much work you put into your videos, but helping people like me who are interested in using your videos as a jumping point to do further research into the topics that you have discussed. It doesn’t just have to be books, either - studies/meta-analyses/statistical reviews, articles, reports, or anything else that you use would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for creating such consistently informative, objective, and bingeworthy videos!

(Guys give me like to let my comment rise and everyone see hem) This video has a lot of wrong informations , and i will reply to it and let all know the real First, this brother say that this two lines has a 80% of saudi population First the brother forget that this two lines has 20% from saudi land area " without the empty quarter " which is 300,000 km2 to 1,500,000 km2 Second, the brother is lying on the real numbers and say that it is 80% from the saudi population, while in the real the population on this two lines is 21 million / 33 million of saudi population, that means it's 60% from total saudi population, increase 20% in this case means he create 7 million people from nothing Note : i said it's 21 million if that inclunding abha and khamis mushait and baha region, i see it's not but this is just a gift from me to let the number higher😂 if we don't count them, it will be 19m inside and 14m outside Third, he say that on out of this lines there is no Inhabited place except medina, while in the real there is 12 (or 14) million people out of the lines, and medina is just 1.5 million people Fourth, he lied in the real reason that it's have 60% of saudi arabia population in him, he said the reason is that there is too much rain in the western part of Saudi Arabia and the western coasts I hope it's real but it's not, let me prove that you are a wrong and you speak with ignorance First, middle and north middle and north east of saudi arabia, rains more than the west saudi rains For example the average rain in riyadh is 2 times more than jeddah and madinah and yenbo And average rain in hafr al batin 3 times more than yenbo and 2 times from medina and jeddah And average rain in al gassim is higher than yenbo and jeddah and makkah and even jizan , Each separately Fifth, talking about weather and temperatures, then lies, he say that west of saudi arabia and south west is more cool and modeartion, that called tihamh Man , tihamh in the summer in dry mode is between 42-45 degrees celsius, and that marked in 7 uncoastal tihamh cities ( makkah, sabya, abu arish, muhayil, al majardah , bariq , al mokhwah ) And in the humid mode, it's between 39-42 degrees celsius with a high humidity makes the "feel temperatures" above 45 degrees celsius, and this marked in 5 coastal tihamh cities ( jeddah, yenbo, al gunfuthah, jizan, al lith ) so if compared between makkah and riyadh on average summer maximum and minimum temperatures, we see that riyadh is higher by maximum temp by less than 1 degree just on july and august While makkah is higher by more than 2 degrees in maximum temp, on may and june and september, and higher on the minimum temp by 2-3 degrees, in may and june and july and august and septermber Without counting humidity, that in tihamah even uncoastal cities has a some humidity And talk long, but we can see that there is no one place on saudi arabia has a moderation weather on summer except of sarawat mountains , but it's have just 1 million people so it's not that high on population And ofcourse the summer in tihamh is long for 7 months, while in najd just 4 and half months, and the moderation months najd has a 7 months and tihamh just 3 months Sixth, after all your follies The real reason to be 60% of saudi population, on this two lines ( knowing that he is 20% of the land area ) Is just because it has the major cities 😄 the man have talked long, and join to weather and rain Topics, and in the end if you just take makkah and jeddah and riyadh You will see that the lines will drop from 21 million to just 7 million And the Percentage from saudi population will down from 60% to 20%, hope you dont talked about it😂 So Instead of said that the line has a majorest 3 cities, and said that it's normal when you collected the majorest cities the percentage from country population will be high.. You start to say uncorrect informations And ofcourse the 3 cities being in one line was just a coincidence And each one become major for another reason than the second And in the real, the number of cities out of the line is more than the cities in him And the number of population out of the line is not far to the number in him I wish if i can put a photo, to put map showing cities on saudi arabia higher than 70k population, it's 46 cities Inside the line just 19 cities And out of him a 27 cities😂 the just reason that out of the line is 12 million while inside him is 21 million, is the two cities of riyadh and jeddah And they are 900km from each other, that means they have nothing to do with each other If you take them from the line to out of him, it's will be 22 million / 11 million Literally reversed😂 And outside the lines, there a medinah province except yenbo, eastern province except dammam, gassim province, ha'il province, najran province, eastern borders province, al-jouf province, tabuk province, baha province, 60% of asir province population I wish if i just has 1 day without see someone from : medina tabuk hail najran al-gassim al-jouf eastern province northern borders al-baha asir !, outside lines is really huge populated And inside the lines is more populated just for riyadh makkah and jeddah .. don't lying bro this is better for you !! Also in the past the most populated was : north and east and west and south, not just the west and south You talk about the biggest saudi tribes in the number even on the past, otaibah al-dawasser anizah shammar mutair harb and even more All was living on najd ! and some of them was on the north of saudi arabia Also the saudi arabia population now, has: 2.5 million on makkah city _________________ 3 million on the north 3.5 million on the middle "except riyadh" 3.75 million on jeddah city Here all are 3-5 million👈 4.0 million on the west " except makkah and jeddah " 4.5 million on the south 5.0 million on the east _________________ 7.0 million on riyadh city So it's a really perfect Mounting from 3 to 4 to 5M on all districts of the country Just when count the majorest 3 cities alone Unlike some countries ! Who no who i mean The dude from this channel put the western north and west and western south and middle and mid east parts ot the country including by coincidence the most and second most populated cities After that he said why saudi just live on this place , and make the population on the place higher by 8 million from the real from nothing .. it's really a bad lie I will give a example on england London and brimingham and manchester has a 17m/50m of england population That means 35% I will draw a small line between them dosen't contains anything except them.. and i will lie that this line has 80% of england population ! While it is clear that it lied in its real population, and a line that contains only the largest cities that met by coincidence or the line has been crooked deliberate to let them met And i will say that the line has most england population because of the high rain precipitation 😂😂

I guess on the positive side desalination might be something that can adapt to intermittent power sources more easily. At the least, one could in principle over produce water and store it in enormous storage areas that could buffer days or weeks of water usage. So that's something at least when considering an enormous amount of the total energy needs will apparently be in producing drinkable water and getting it where you need it.

[@censored4christ162]

Man problem is they got literslly basically zero farm land. But a lot of them live right on the wirld trade line so maybe they csn import a lot that is already being sold on open market for profit rather than buying some other guys peoples farm and shipping their meal to saudi arabia 😂 this is crazy. I think they need to use the sand to blow glass or something, for export since theyre is lots of them on the world trade route line. Then use the money to import peoples extra food. Problem is that immedietly makes them dependant and not self reliant which is preferrable i just dont know man they live in a dessert and so i do but i also have civilization which is around on all sides as well which helps

[@fuzzyhair321]

And they have the desert to just get rid of the waste salt

[@xBINARYGODx]

EDIT - nvm didnt watch the entire video, they do this already, I mean, not exactly, but close enough for a comment. I mean, the area is ripe for mass, massive evaporators that could work similar to the sort of salt mining that exists at coasting reactions (flood an area and let it evaporate and the salt left behind is "mined"). to be overly specific, if you put a roof over it, you can trap the water as it leaves. Yes, the real version is more complex, but it doesn't matter, they have the money to build a ton of them and have clean water for way more than just themselves, and as the Nile proves, enough to create a man-made Nile to supply massive farmlands in certain areas. They can even power all of this with solar and batteries.

[@DanBeech-ht7sw]

It's basically similar to Canada, with one part of their country being the only habitable area and the rest were either deserts prone to sandstorm and heat waves or mountains that are prone to potential avalanches and lands that were simply too cold or too hot its unhabitable without proper aid from cities that were simply far out.

I have lived and worked in the Kingdom, I have driven round most of it.

The people are amazing, until recently not many foreigners visited. Most Saudis are under the age of 35, most of these speak excellent English, have studied overseas and have a global outlook, while being good muslims. The roads are filled with the worst drivers in the world. However, the people are amazing, with a wicked sense of humour. Often I would walk out of a meeting, and be half way down the corridor before I realised the joke. Its an amazing country, with amazing people.

Why not pump the water from the sea into the area near the aquifer underneath the surface of the ground. Letting it filter through the majority of the ground, then refilling the natural aquifer. If the bedrock could be mapped, and the slope of the bedrock could be used as a base for the water to flow to the area where the aquifer is located, and the water flowing across the bedrock, to the aquifer, would also spread out wide, and not only be an narrow channel traveling to, from the seaside. With the water flowing, it would spread wide, across the bedrock, and should have the effect that the amount of water could be increased, thus increasing the rate that the aquifer would be replenished. The water being released underground, would be filtered through the ground. From my understanding, ground filtering is good for larger particles, and certain soil types, will future filter. That is using the ground as a filter, slowly removing the saline percentages. If given enough distance, it should reduce enough to be potable water. If there is a area underground where they could store water where it would not be contaminated, such as old oil fields. The saline solution could possibly be absorbed into the ground surrounding the aquifer that once was filled with oil, and other petroleum resources. Thus reducing the salt concentration, and making it easier to remove the remaining to, produce potable water. For people to drink and maintain life. Sorry for the length and circular manner of the comment.

Now imagine! During the 7th century, the tribal Muslims of now Saudi Arabia decimated the Persians and Roman Empires simultaneously throughout the middle east within a period of a couple of decades.

It's like today's Eskimos capturing Europe while defeating the US and Russia on either borders and maintaining control over it for centuries to come. 😳

Its not very impressive when you consider that the peninsula wasn't conquered because it wasn't worthwhile at all. Until oil was discovered there was literally no reason for anyone to go there except to say that you did.

in the US we tried to relate every single political issue in the Middle East with religion (or political ideology) and we usually neglect (or deny ) the importance of geography in shaping the society the collective decisions it made.

Most of the conflicts in the world are economic and will use religion, human rights issues, or political ideology to justify the invasion and war of other countries.

[@altrag]

Much of the religious clustering is informed by the same geographical considerations. Using religion is a proxy sure, and there's definitely some discussion to be had about why Americans focus so heavily on religious aspects rather than anything else, but as a proxy its not actually as bad as it sounds on the surface. It can be misleading sometimes as all proxies are, but generally speaking as long as you understand that Islam has sects and factions same as Christianity, you can get pretty far using "religious clustering" and "geographical clustering" somewhat interchangeably.

The southwest corner of the peninsula is a leading contender for the “Land of Punt”, and the origin point for boswelia sacra, a.k.a. frankincense. Even the Queen of Sheba is believed to have ruled there. Geography and climate really allows it to make the most of a difficult situation.

(Guys give me like to let my comment rise and everyone see hem) This video has a lot of wrong informations , and i will reply to it and let all know the real First, this brother say that this two lines has a 80% of saudi population First the brother forget that this two lines has 20% from saudi land area " without the empty quarter " which is 300,000 km2 to 1,500,000 km2 Second, the brother is lying on the real numbers and say that it is 80% from the saudi population, while in the real the population on this two lines is 21 million / 33 million of saudi population, that means it's 60% from total saudi population, increase 20% in this case means he create 7 million people from nothing Note : i said it's 21 million if that inclunding abha and khamis mushait and baha region, i see it's not but this is just a gift from me to let the number higher😂 if we don't count them, it will be 19m inside and 14m outside Third, he say that on out of this lines there is no Inhabited place except medina, while in the real there is 12 (or 14) million people out of the lines, and medina is just 1.5 million people Fourth, he lied in the real reason that it's have 60% of saudi arabia population in him, he said the reason is that there is too much rain in the western part of Saudi Arabia and the western coasts I hope it's real but it's not, let me prove that you are a wrong and you speak with ignorance First, middle and north middle and north east of saudi arabia, rains more than the west saudi rains For example the average rain in riyadh is 2 times more than jeddah and madinah and yenbo And average rain in hafr al batin 3 times more than yenbo and 2 times from medina and jeddah And average rain in al gassim is higher than yenbo and jeddah and makkah and even jizan , Each separately Fifth, talking about weather and temperatures, then lies, he say that west of saudi arabia and south west is more cool and modeartion, that called tihamh Man , tihamh in the summer in dry mode is between 42-45 degrees celsius, and that marked in 7 uncoastal tihamh cities ( makkah, sabya, abu arish, muhayil, al majardah , bariq , al mokhwah ) And in the humid mode, it's between 39-42 degrees celsius with a high humidity makes the "feel temperatures" above 45 degrees celsius, and this marked in 5 coastal tihamh cities ( jeddah, yenbo, al gunfuthah, jizan, al lith ) so if compared between makkah and riyadh on average summer maximum and minimum temperatures, we see that riyadh is higher by maximum temp by less than 1 degree just on july and august While makkah is higher by more than 2 degrees in maximum temp, on may and june and september, and higher on the minimum temp by 2-3 degrees, in may and june and july and august and septermber Without counting humidity, that in tihamah even uncoastal cities has a some humidity And talk long, but we can see that there is no one place on saudi arabia has a moderation weather on summer except of sarawat mountains , but it's have just 1 million people so it's not that high on population And ofcourse the summer in tihamh is long for 7 months, while in najd just 4 and half months, and the moderation months najd has a 7 months and tihamh just 3 months Sixth, after all your follies The real reason to be 60% of saudi population, on this two lines ( knowing that he is 20% of the land area ) Is just because it has the major cities 😄 the man have talked long, and join to weather and rain Topics, and in the end if you just take makkah and jeddah and riyadh You will see that the lines will drop from 21 million to just 7 million And the Percentage from saudi population will down from 60% to 20%, hope you dont talked about it😂 So Instead of said that the line has a majorest 3 cities, and said that it's normal when you collected the majorest cities the percentage from country population will be high.. You start to say uncorrect informations And ofcourse the 3 cities being in one line was just a coincidence And each one become major for another reason than the second And in the real, the number of cities out of the line is more than the cities in him And the number of population out of the line is not far to the number in him I wish if i can put a photo, to put map showing cities on saudi arabia higher than 70k population, it's 46 cities Inside the line just 19 cities And out of him a 27 cities😂 the just reason that out of the line is 12 million while inside him is 21 million, is the two cities of riyadh and jeddah And they are 900km from each other, that means they have nothing to do with each other If you take them from the line to out of him, it's will be 22 million / 11 million Literally reversed😂 And outside the lines, there a medinah province except yenbo, eastern province except dammam, gassim province, ha'il province, najran province, eastern borders province, al-jouf province, tabuk province, baha province, 60% of asir province population I wish if i just has 1 day without see someone from : medina tabuk hail najran al-gassim al-jouf eastern province northern borders al-baha asir !, outside lines is really huge populated And inside the lines is more populated just for riyadh makkah and jeddah .. don't lying bro this is better for you !! Also in the past the most populated was : north and east and west and south, not just the west and south You talk about the biggest saudi tribes in the number even on the past, otaibah al-dawasser anizah shammar mutair harb and even more All was living on najd ! and some of them was on the north of saudi arabia Also the saudi arabia population now, has: 2.5 million on makkah city _________________ 3 million on the north 3.5 million on the middle "except riyadh" 3.75 million on jeddah city Here all are 3-5 million👈 4.0 million on the west " except makkah and jeddah " 4.5 million on the south 5.0 million on the east _________________ 7.0 million on riyadh city So it's a really perfect Mounting from 3 to 4 to 5M on all districts of the country Just when count the majorest 3 cities alone Unlike some countries ! Who no who i mean The dude from this channel put the western north and west and western south and middle and mid east parts ot the country including by coincidence the most and second most populated cities After that he said why saudi just live on this place , and make the population on the place higher by 8 million from the real from nothing .. it's really a bad lie I will give a example on england London and brimingham and manchester has a 17m/50m of england population That means 35% I will draw a small line between them dosen't contains anything except them.. and i will lie that this line has 80% of england population ! While it is clear that it lied in its real population, and a line that contains only the largest cities that met by coincidence or the line has been crooked deliberate to let them met And i will say that the line has most england population because of the high rain precipitation 😂😂
