I am 75yrs old and always liked history, when I stumbled across your site I was delighted to find another, better educated better informed,and enthusiastic person that thinks this shit is just cool. Excited for the book, can't wait. Let your ADHD run wild son, and thank you.
Fuck yea!
I'm 56 & dumb as dogcrap before I got head injuries 🤣 but I look forward to learning about what interests me & it helps if it's about truth as best policy rather than sensational crazy talk 😂
why do I feel so out of place? Everyone here is over 25, and I'm here at 14 😭🙌
@@Notrealartist101Welcome! You're lucky to be getting content like this at your age! We oldies had to put up with all sorts of nonsense back in the Neolithic when we were your age. You're in the right place, stick around and hang out with people of all ages, who love history and knowledge.
@@woofbarkyap thank you 😊
"It was banded as hell, it was fluted and Clovis." After all these years I finally know what that means
Clovis like that is a hard point to find
Makes pills swift to come by with a good chunk of change
Love that song
Lol, I was hoping I'd find this comment.
@@galenfrazer8541 plz tell me title. No clue why but legit curious
@@mrob3888 it’s a song by Tyler Childers called “Banded Clovis”. Great song about two guys hunting for fossils… but with a twist.
1:53 love this brief moment where Milo considers mild terrorism lmao
Would absolutely love an audiobook version! You're an excellent storyteller and would love to hear you narrate it all!
Yes, if you do an audiobook version, please narrate it yourself. You have a lovely voice.
Ideeed!!!
And it's not just visually impaired people that it would help.
My heavely dislectic Dutch ass would not be able to read that. But I would LOVE to hear it!
You are credit to popularising archaeology and you are a wonderful science communicator, well done on your book and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your talent expressed. There are young people having their minds shaped by you. Know that.
Agreed 💯
You are so damned charismatic. Be the best you there is. Thank you for breathing life into history.
Agreed.
he could be a cult leader if he wanted. good day!
this intro is so beautiful... time comes and goes and I'm in love with the world and with humans
Same. Mankind & its many inventions and discoveries are always a delight to me (except for the ones we devise to pursue our darker natures). I like to think of myself as an optimist nihilist☺️
Tell your parents thank you for providing us with such an entertaining and informative mind wrapped in beautiful hair!!
You are welcome! We delight in the Milo as well, biased of course. 😊
agreed
Yes 😊🇨🇦
You have great hair genes that you've passed on. Nicely done@@JohnMRossi
@@JohnMRossi Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Rossi !! In life you only get one chance to mess up your kids. Seems like you missed your chance with Milo!
Screw the green screen ...use nature as your back drop in field studies... If you make them they will watch🤘
Absolutely!! Or maybe in front of a fireplace
i think its funny when he curses the planes and helicopters in his actual outside video's.
Man, that Onfim story really got me and for some reason brought a tear to my eye. Powerful stuff.
I would get a copy of the audio book - especially with you reading it!
I hope it isn't too polished, I would miss the tangents and profanity, "I hate fuckin airplanes.".
Hi Jen good morning. how are you doing? It’s nice coming across your amazing profile. Please where are you getting the book from? 🌺
@@Raymondgogolf I haven't gotten it - yet.
@@jenerhart7025 Alright if you don’t mind can we be friends 🌺🌺🌺
@@jenerhart7025 Hi Jen good morning how are you doing this beautiful morning
We got your book in this week at the bookstore where I work, and since it's not restricted sale I went ahead and bought the first copy today! Looking forward to checking it out ASAP.
Ahhhh!! In the 90s I would go to Sleepy Hollow Concord at night to drink beers with friends!! Love my hometown! ❤❤❤❤
Onfim sounds like my son... even now as a teen. And, I think you are right, the more human stories are usually the ones I find most interesting, like ancient Sumerian recipes and music, egyptian graffiti, random lists, sometimes just interpersonal notes and even ancient toys, tools and jewelry.
We've got a long wait for this one, so let's make it a fun party for this amazing young man who has already made such a big impact in such a short amount of time. He's going to do many more amazing things for this world before he's through, but he's one of those people with such a deep passion that he never really stops teaching and making learning exciting. So snacks and drinks are over there and blankets, pillows and sleeping pads are in this area. Make yourselves comfortable. There will be a bonfire out back every evening. Let's have some fun and celebrate! Here's to you Milo!
We need a Viking series on your channel like the Turkey one. Going to Denmark and Norway to see ring fortresses and items found in glaciers 👍
I was excited before to my paper copy but now I cant wait to get the book and be able to listen to the first chapter basically on audio book. AND voiced by the mad lad himself!
Looking out for us audiobook listeners / disabled, I salute you my good sir O7
Milo - you are intelligent, passionate, and so freaking eloquent!
I love your work so much, I recommended it to my very recent ex-husband. And he liked you so much that he subscribed too!! You have bridged a huge marital gap. Another achievement!! Srsly, love you, man.
I JUST BOUGHT IT 5 MINUTES AGO!
I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS.
Edit: I just read ch.1 after watching this video. Hits so different reading it for myself. Peak literature. Well done Mr. Rossi.
Sign more books, Rossi. I’ve been watching you since day one and I want a signed copy!!!
I am ..... enchanted. Because you are amazing. Never have I been so excited by the promise: "I'm just getting started...".
Hi karen good morning 🌞 sorry for the inconvenience, I was reading the comments on this page when I come across your amazing intelligent comment, I decided to text you if we can be friends? Thanks for your understanding, God bless you🌺🌺🌺🌺
Milo you are inspiring and a great teacher, And you wrote a book??? So proud of you and so happy to be part of this community.
I love the idea of quiet history. So much happened in between all the blips of “historic” moments
🌈💜 Between your writing, as well as your reading, you have done an amazing job! It has to feel freaking amazing to have written and published a book! Congrats, dude! 🤗🌈💜
Agreed 💯💯💯👍
Let’s go miloo
Love your reading. Reading aloud is a skill not everyone has. Milo, you are an awesome young man. As I am nearing the winter of my time I find hope in persons such as you. Keep your quirky take on life, your education, and sense of wonder.
I used to walk my dog through all of that history. Beautiful area. Awesome job on your subscribers growing so fast due to your hard work!
I've never really much into history... But you Milo, you've pretty much awakened a curiosity in me I didn't know I had. Thank you sir
Thank You Milo ❤❤❤ 💖💖💖
I never buy things from influencers / youtubers but this, this is special. Congrats Mlo and team! Ordering my copy now ❤
The introduction to your book has perfectly encapsulated my specific love for the past better than anything ive seen or read. You put exactly why I became an archeologist Into words. As an archeologist who graduated in 2022 your page is hugely inspirational. Educational archeology content that is actually entertaining is rare and it’s amazing to see you bring this depth of knowledge to so many people who would likely have never encountered it otherwise.
This reminded me of Carl Sandburg's "The People, Yes". For the longest time, especially growing up under a military regime, I'd been conditioned into believing that history and human culture are about the march of civilization and national pride, and how to "better" ourselves. Thanks for showing us viewers it can be about understanding different people in their own context and sharing our human experiences across space and time.
Pre ordered the book. Love this young man's heart, take and delivery. Snarky sarcasm is my primary language.
Love Archaeology. Gonna try Palaeontology in a few years.
I hope you are doing an audiobook. I would love to listen to your book on audible.
Itd be perfect for work commutes. Thats how I listened to this. His tone and cadence are the best!
You, Forrest Valkai and Lindsay Nikole have really influenced me to return to school. At 28 years old I will be attending university. For the first time. I will be pursuing zoology/ wild life biology. Thank you.
Thank you, Milo. You’re the best. We need more science-based, secular, educational videos on CZcams- and less conspiracy theory or everything is aliens or reptilian shapeshifters videos.
A full audio book would be awesome!
I'm so excited for an audio book of this. This is exactly the kind of thing that makes my work day easier.
I absolutely love the idea and the design of this book. I can't wait till I can get one of my own!!!!!! I've been all smiles listening to you read it
I pre-ordered my copy, and it's arriving just in time for my birthday! I can't wait to read it! 😎👍
I get this channel was built on stuff like this and telling interesting history but my favorite video and the first one I saw of this channel was the shepards sling or rock sling or slingshot whatever you want to call it. I would love to see more videos like that sprinkled in. There was something charming about watching you learn to use it.
Trebuchet next
@@williamchamberlain2263 That would be cool. Really any old weapon would be cool. Bolas, atlatl, blowgun, even a classic bow and arrow could be interesting.
You should absolutely narrate an Audiobook version
Edit: I wrote this comment before you said you were thinking of doing it
I just received the book! Thank you so much Milo for educating! Keep up the good work! ❤
Wooow you’ve mentioned Onfim in your book! Saw his “homework” a couple of months ago, as well as other birchbark letters. The best reminder that nothing changes much in people’s day-to-day lives
I received my book a few days ago, right before my birthday! 🥳
I’m loving it so far, and wonderful choice on the binding!
wow, that opening of the book brought me to tears. to answer the question: i think about the adult who 11,000 years ago carried the child almost a mile only to walk the same path back without them anytime i imagine past humans. but back to the thing that made me cry, the way you sectioned the chapters…. man you have no idea how important ancient sexuality and ancient fashion trends are to me. being nonbinary in our extremely binary society is actual hell and one of the only things that keeps me going is thinking about all the humans before me who felt the same way, whether they were able to express themselves or not i know they existed and i will hold onto that knowledge forever
You should get Graham Handcock to read the audio book 😂
😂😂😂
“In other news, Donald Trump has been tapped for the audio remaster of ‘Dreams from my Father’…”
Amazing Milo --- i have learned so much. Thank you and keep it coming. Please do a second book !
a pretty boy talking about history and anthropology... I love this.
New here I've been seeing his shorts pop up and he's got me hooked 😂❤
Yeah, he's the new drug. The side effects are learning new things and not believing in BS "archeology ". The FDA* nods it's head in approval. (*fu(king dominating archeology) lol
Just got my copy. I am genuinely excited that somebody is out there arguing for facts in a way that is accessible and fun.
You have such a great career ahead it's not even funny.
I just got my book today and I was so excited! I will read it during breaks at work tomorrow! ❤❤
I love this so much. Insanely proud of you dude, this is crazy
My copy of this book arrived today (Australia) and I have been loving it so far! Congrats on publishing a great book!
The White Sands portion has a personal connection with me - I was born in Socorro, New Mexico, back in the 60s.
I had not intended on watching the whole video when I realized what it was, but your manner sucked me in. Your narration is excellent; no hesitations or difficulty in enunciation, and the words flowed. As a long haul trucker, I found audiobooks on cassette some 30 years ago, and love them - I'd definitely listen to you narrate the book!
I have long said (going back into the 70s!) that the Ancients had a LOT more smarts than most give them credit for - I do enjoy that you point this out on a regular basis.
This was brilliant, your writing style is very appealing. Thank you for reading this for us, and I’m excited for phase 3
I'm going to be watching for the audio version. I can't turn pages or hold books, but I can patiently wait with anticipation!
Leaving a comment to boost the video! You're doing great!
I was so excited as my copy of your Book arrived, especially as I’ve completely had forgotten about it arriving 😅
Extraordinary Writing! My Adhd brain loves the amount of information You have integrated into a nice and coherent cosntruct of evolving trough our lives. And I absolutely love the Stories that describe the past with how life could've been back then. An audiobook would be absolutely perfect, definitely would buy it 😮 Really like to listen to your voice and follow your great minded thoughts. We really need more like this! The thought that we're all different but still pretty much the same than our Ancestors is great. Humans should all accept that we are all the same, even if from different time, culture or place. Keep up the great work 😊
Yes to an audiobook 😊 As a busy working parent, lately I’ve been able to consume books in audio format only, while doing chores. Congrats on your first book btw!
Farmer here. Can't wait for audio book.
I really want the audio book please. Well done on your first book and look forward to many more 🎉❤
Hi Vanessa good morning. How are you doing? It’s nice coming across your amazing profile. If you don’t mind can we be friends. Sorry for the inconvenience 🌺🌺🌺happy Sunday
This is definitely going to be a gift for several people I know
This is so great! Empathy and connected experiences really brings history as a grounded tug of familiar emotions from memories.
Recently came across your CZcams shorts which lead me to your channel and I am loving it. Wish I had been in time for the Peru trip. Looking forward to reading the book
I love this channel. It has reinvigorated me to start learning history, geology and Arcology again. That and all the traveling you do on this channel and your personal channel have got me into a nomadic rut ha.
Hey Milo! Just wanted to say that I love your content, you’re such an amazing storyteller and you’re hilarious! My copy of your book arrived today just in time for my birthday and I can’t wait to read it!!
Omg I didn't realize we're getting an audiobook with this grand voice
You're an amazing young man, Milo. I appreciate who you are. I'm not much for "following" anybody but for your intelligence and honesty I do subscribe 😉
If I would have stayed focused growing up I would probably be doing what you are now. I've had a passion for archeology since I can remember. Our 'true' past is something of an enigma. To listen to what one or two people say doesn't mean that it happened that way. It's up to us to do thorough research and come to our own logical conclusions.
I respect what you're doing Milo
Stay Vigilant brother! 💪🏼✌🏼
I hope you're enjoying Peru at the moment! That's an amazing place to be for archeology 👍🏻👍🏻
Onfim's just too adorable
I hope his friend liked his drawing.
I'm so very happy for you Milo.
As soneone who has adhd as well, I was happily surprised to find out you have it as well! I can't wait to get the audiobook once it's out as reading has proved being really difficult for me during the last few years, and English isn't my first language.
Im going to get this for chistmas. Im in uni to become an arthistorian. I love this kinda stuff, for some reason to be conected with the people from so long ago through art or other objects, storys etc. Makes me feel like im studying at hogwarts, not leiden uni, haha.
I think my biggest takeaway from your content is we don't have to be remarkable to leave our mark. These normal people of yester year didn't live their lives thinking about what future people may know of them. They didn't know their breakfast dishes would fill our heads with ideas and imagined life, they didn't know the homes in which they raised their families and lay their weary heads would fan the flames of passion and make a child choose their future career. I find it so comforting that we truly don't know what impact our lives have , we don't know how we might affect some one be it in our own lifetime or some one in the future. We are all threads in a very rich and very long tapestry.
Thanks for all you do 💪 and the inspirations you bring
Thank you for giving us this video. It's amazing. I can't wait for the book
This has legitimately reduced me to tears. You've done it. You've made the best book ever.
Thank you thank you thank you

Love these little events of history that have been forgotten by time
I just discovered your channel, and I love it. I have no education in archeology, but am a curious person who dislikes junk science and enjoys intelligent explanations of things that have been stated as fact, without evidence to back them up. You've earned my subscription. Thanks for sharing.
Well done. Good incentive.
I received my copy of your book in the mail, yesterday! Had a great night last night reading! Great job! Really enjoyed it! Write another!
I will buy your audiobook so fast! I'm sadly too busy to sit and read, but I consume audiobooks like candy.
Single handedly the best audiobook(?) I've ever heard. Granted, it's the only audiobook(?) I've heard, but still, it's good
Just ordered for my husband for Christmas. Thanks Milo❤
Great channel, just sub’d.
This is one decision you will never regret, glad to have you here with us in this big happy family!
"I am very high up",writes a viking boy.
"What the hel are you doing up there", thinks the grouchy ol' man in me.
Yes Milo, a very different emotional connection than the history of major events!
Love the book, taking me back to Anthro 101!! Thank you Milo!
0:34, Think about it, our bathrooms are like shrines, almost everyone in a given region looks the same. There’s that saying … something something death and taxes, but what about poop, everybody poops! Some people obsess over “time lost” sleeping, while never considering how much time they spend alive shitting and pissing, or taking a bath and how important it is.
B-R-A-V-O &
my history Wizard husband says you Rock !!
Excellent, Milo. You are a unique young man. Thank you for the reading. Your words are inspiring.
Bravo, Milo. I enjoy your reading. I think I will order your book. An audio book would be welcome. I love your delivery.
Pre-ordered! Can't wait!
I’ve been showing my grandpa your videos for the past year or so, we love watching them together so I preordered your book as soon as it was announced and we’ve been reading it a few entries at a time each time I visit him, he especially loved the entry about pigeon domestication since he reared racing pigeons for a long time :3
Omg YES audiobook please! That would be awesome
Hi Milo, I'm presently devouring your book, and have 2 more copies for Christmas gifts. What a remarkable feat you have accomplished with your 1st book. Informative, intriguing, and spiced with your unique style of humour,it is a joy to read, and you should be duly proud. Well done,sir! XX
I got my copy yesterday, and I am enjoying it tremendously!
Thank you for thinking ahead to an audio version. If they let you, try and include a pdf with some of these images. I really like what I’ve heard so far. Keep up the great work.
