    Honey might not seem worth it to our modern sugar-rich diet, but imagine what it was like for ancient people who lived on plain fruit, grains and meat - golden honey would've been a miraculous taste sensation.

      And some Chinese came to India to learn how to produce it... They went back home and... They mass-produced it and exported it so much that now sugar is called "चीनी"(cheenee) in Hindi which means Chinese.

      CO2/Carbon plus H2O/Water captures the EM energy of the Sun/Son-Galaxy/father and creates life.
      Earth is a closed loop that self regulates CO2 with life by combing CO2with H2O to capture the EM of the double toroidal fields we call the Sun and or galactic nucleus.
      Cause and effect. Temperature rises first and CO2 follows as the Arctic thaws due to crossing the galactic plane and increased DIRECT sunlight at the higher latitudes poles. The Arctic is nothing but frozen CO2.
      Precession causes our climate cycles of Continental glaciers with lower sea levels brought on by East to West Global Tsunami's when we cross the galaxies Electromagnetic/Gravitational plane/Equator for the next Millenia.
      The Galactic Milankovitch cycles cause our climate cycles. Eccentricity galactic bulge rotates every 240,000 years. Obliquity/Magnetic north changes according to the galactic bulge with Aphelion occurring once every 120,000 years or 24.5 degrees magnetic north inclination putting us in the tropical age. When magnetic north will be at 21.5 degrees inclination we will be in the ice age.
      Covid1984 like CO2 is a comfortable lie built upon the inconvenient truth that the Baby Boomers who were born en mass 75 years ago are starting to die en mass from the usual suspects of seasonal Flu/Pneumonia and old age. The MASK of he Beast is a pretext for the FINAL SOLUTION vaccine.

    The domestication of horses is very important to civil history. If you know anything about linguistics, then the Yamnaya people expanded from the Pontic steppe on these horses that they began domesticating. After a Yamnaya-descended group of Anatolians became the Hittites, the near Eastern empires around them adopted their horse and chariot practices. Today, many languages we speak today, including English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Greek, Russian, Persian, Hindi, Punjabi, Bengali and Marathi all derive from the Yamnaya language spoken 6000 years ago.

    Interesting historical domesticate: Snails! While I don't think modern Escargot Snails are considered domesticated, there is archeological evidence of massive Snails that gained that size by being bred and cultivated as food by Greeks in ancient times.

      @sciphynuts wtf the eastern roman empire spoke greek and was called the Greek Kingdom after the Germans claimed to be the roman empire. Greek was also spoken from Egypt to india and around Uzbekistan until the rise of islam. There are fairly ancient Greek monasteries in the mountains that have always been independent even. Most people along the Turkish coasts and in the Turkish capital of konstantiniyye (Istanbul constantinople) plus [edit: with] a large minority (like 30%) in Asia minor spoke greek until WW2. Greek was also used as a liturgical language in orthodox areas and as the language of medicine and scirnce in catholic Europe sometimes. I honestly don't understand where you get this idea.

      In French it's called une dinde which is from oiseau d'Inde (Indian bird). I imagine the association was meant to refer to the West Indies (I.e. the Caribbean) and it may be something similar for the Turks themselves. It may also have gotten that name before people realised that the Americas were not islands in the Indian Ocean.

      We are homo sapiens sapiens not just homo sapiens. In Latin homo sapiens is 'wise human' and homo sapiens sapiens is 'wise wise humans'

      Homo sapiens we’re around since 200-350 thousand years ago, but we’re separated or evolved by the other Homo lineages by hundreds of thousands more and millions

    Imagine Future historians thousands of years from now finding a bunch of chickens bones in the trash and displaying them as priceless evidence of ancient civilization.
    Amazing how much time can increase the value of something

      In Italy mozzarella can be made out of cow milk or buffalo milk (and apparently sheep and goat). If it's made out of buffalo milk it will be clearly stated and you will find it as "mozzarella di bufala campana" or similar denominations. On the other hand if it's just "mozzarella" without specification, it's made out of cow milk.

    Another animal that deserves a shout-out is the Reindeer. Interestingly, there’s been some research showing a possible genetic link between Inuit reindeer and camels. Also, Yaks share a close genetic relationship with the North American bison, but many domesticated yaks are often a hybrid of wild yak and cattle. While I’m on a roll here with these fun facts; I’d like to point out that Homo sapiens are more closely related to chimpanzees, than the African elephant is to the Asian elephant. I wonder if other animals have a hard time distinguishing between us primate species🤔
