      The wealth of many individuals and societies were once based on who owned the most salt, since it was such an expensive commodity, and for a while was the most expensive.
      It’s why there are places with names like “Salzburg” (Salt Castle) and places with the suffix “wich” (denoting it as a place where salt was made)

      Yeah, there are multiple ressources that are abdondant today (thx to modern society) which were very valuable in the past. Most people rarely understand that. Salt and spices didn't just make food more tasty, they were preservative. In particular, salt was sometimes indispensable to survive winter.
      And for the record, during the Mali empire in west Africa, salt was more valuable than gold (which really just has the value people give it, so when there is gold everywhere, it becomes worthless, as it has never been vital).

      Granted, most people has to understand some history subject, even & the context around it, ect ... just to see the a bigger picture & and understand it, which will eventually related to our every days life one way or another.
      It also took some effort to explain it to everyone too, so at least we must be prepared & knowledgeable enough to do so ... and probably look like a teacher-ish (if you wasn't one already).

    The king of the Mali Empire, Mansa Musa, was so rich that during his pilgrimage to Mecca he gave away so much gold that he completely destroyed several economies to that point that gold were locally practically worthless. Funnily enough, the reason he was so rich was because the Mali Empire had vast amounts of natural resources, particularly gold and SALT. Everything comes back to salt and spices, lol. It is believed that Mansa's net worth was close to $400 billion USD.

Most people including scientists are much more down with the Ethiopian theory although genetically speaking it has been determined that Mitochondrial Eve was from central Africa, therefore the birthplace of humanity according to genetics in much more likely to be what we call now the Democratic Republic of Congo .
      - First human genetic divergence from M.Eve and migration (L0) in the era of Zambia and Zimbabwe
      - 2nd (L1) around the Niger River
      - (L2) in the era of Mali and Mauritania ( from were the first Maroccan people originate from !)
      - then there is L3, all the era around Egypt, including Ethiopia which is the biggest line of the 3 first lines of human divergence ( first blood lines ) with L0 and L1 !
      - L2 descends from L1.
      - L4 , L5 and L6 descends from L3 ( aka Egypt ( and Ethiopia )
      - L0a and L0f are found around Tanzania , Yemen and Mozambique and descends directly from L0 has conserved much in common with the Mitochondrial Eve’s bloodline than L1 , L2, L3 , L4 , L5 , L6 bloodlines !
      - from L3 which is found more commonly around Egypt descends mitochondrial group M and mitochondrial group N from which the rest of the non African people descends from.
      M and N is theorized to have originally split from L3 in the era we call now Iran , but there is a theory that M split in Ethiopia because of the large concentration of the haplogroup there and in other places in Africa. If this is true the we could consider Ethiopia as the 2nd Birthplace of Humanity !
      The other theory is that M did split from L3 in Iran but some of those decided to resettle In Ethiopia after spliting again from the main M group.
      - M is the mother bloodline of all Eurasians ( China , Japan , Bangladesh , Korea , Nepal ,Tibet , North Africans including Moroccans , and the Middle-East ( Iran) the Levant , Libya, Anatolia , Israel , Palestine , Egypt , and « Mesopotamia » , Siberians , Native American, and Albania , Grece , South Italia , South of France , Actual Caucasian people from Caucasus, North Africa ) , everygoddamnwhere !
      - N is the brother group of M and find its origins in Iran as well , it is primarily found in Eurasia , North Africa, Somalia and Middle-East and is found massively in the Ashkenaze groups ( European Jewish people) From N descends a whole bunch of haplogroups , found in Africa , Asia , Europe , Oceania , America as well !
      Anyway that to say that neither Marocco nor Ethiopia are the Birthplace place of humanity according to genetic data , tho Ethiopia has a better chance at being the second Birthplace of humanity then Marocco that is for sure ! According to data the Birthplace of Humanity is what we call Congo now and the secondary Birthplaces of humanity are Zimbabwe, Niger , Mauritania , Egypt and Iran 😀

      There was also a possibility that he missed the part on 20:17, but with the way he said it, he was pointing out that on 21:44, bill wurtz was treating the plague as if it was less important, and the context would make much more sense. Slipping it in that way is essentially glossing over it, because both would have the same effect, given the scale of the plague.

    In an interesting anecdote, one of the primary reasons for the Crusades was something to do with the hundreds of thousands of trained knights and soldiers that grew from Europe having to fight the Vikings for a century. Following the end of the Viking era, all these unemployed militants started ravaging the peasants on behalf of Feudal lords and the church needed a way to stop this.
    Thus the Pope sought to kill 2 birds with one stone as the Roman church has ALWAYS sought to gain secular power through conquering and wars.

All my life I've been interested in world history, religions, literature, film, science, cooking, mathematics etc. So much of human history is centered on war. I think every country in the world has something in their past that they aren't proud of. And on balance, we all have something that we can be proud of. I think we need to look at both simultaneously in order to move forward.

    The Crusades had a more practical reason behind it other than "Reclaim The Holy Land!". The majority of European powers which included the nations and the Church felt the encroaching Islamic Caliphates were a threat to their power and reign and needed a way to stem the tide. It's a pretty broad reason I know and doesn't cover a lot of details but it's the jist of it and it might make Europeans sound power hungry but one thing to keep in mind was in the majority of places the Muslim Caliphates conquered they forced conversion on the native populace and any one who didn't convert were treated like second class citizens at best or killed at worst so The Crusades weren't without merit.

      While I agree with what you're saying in regards to the first and second Crusade, by the time the third Crusade began the religious fervour for reclaiming and holding onto Jerusalem had definitely become a major factor. Interestingly though in regards to the first Crusade, when the Emperor of Constantinople sent a missive to the Pope asking for assistance against the invasion of the Seljuk Turks, he didn't actually call for a Crusade.
      I'm not saying he wasn't grateful for the Franks (the umbrella term used for Europeans by eastern civilizations) halting the Seljuk advance and weakening their hold on Anatolia, but he only expected the Pope to send mercenaries that could maintain his hold on the territories the Seljuks hadn't invaded yet. One can imagine his surprise when he instead received a veritable migration of kings and their retinues.

    Awesome reaction, mate. Bill wurtz took like a year I think to make this video, between research and aditing and everything. Scripting took him so long that by the end he did the whole thing in one recording (not sure if true, but I've read that a lot times). And yes, it is amazing how all of that history could be summerized in such a short video, which first, doesn't feel short because of the amount of information, but also doesn't feel long, because it keeps you paying attention to it the whole time. Regular watching of it is recommended, I usually do it like 3 or 4 times a year, along with watching other people's reaction to it. One of my favorites is one from a russian guy, can't remember the name, his reaction video lasts about an hour and a half, because he stops and talks about the history he knows during it, recommend giving that a watch as well.

You seem really have the knowledge , even suprising about some facts that I didnt know about. Well done mr! Greetings from polish guy in the UK (bloody colonisators) :D

    I'm really impressed with this reaction! I've seen a bunch where people just sit there and watch without commenting and seemingly without knowing almost anything about the history (except for recent european history), even if they say they're like historians. Great job, I think this is the best one yet!

    It's so hard to pick a time period and place I would like to visit. Although, it would be so cool to see something before it got destroyed, like the Maya codices (books written by the Maya civilization in central America, pre-Columbian) or the library of Alexandria. To just be able to see all the knowledge and culture, to learn from it, before it was lost forever would be such a gift. What a tragic waste that people saw fit to destroy all of that.

    Swedish meatballs were brought over from the turks, but I'm pretty sure they don't put onion, bread and potato into their meatballs, and I'm pretty sure that they don't serve their meatballs with mashed potatoes, lingonberry jam and gravy :)
    A lot of dishes are similar between countries, but the recipe have been changed!

    • @extendedwarandtea
      @extendedwarandtea Před 2 lety

      we actually do put onions and bread(crumbs) in our meatballs and sometimes serve it with mashed potatoes but you are right about the jam and gravy (which i loooove, it's really delicious)

      @@extendedwarandtea Okay, I might have taken it too far with saying "they probably don't do this" because onions are pretty usual xD But it's still fun considering one recipe can be evolved into so much, isn't italian meatballs also originated from turkey? o:
