My Mom viewed the Old Man on the Mountain just weeks before it's collapse. Then she viewed some famous rock formation in Oregon and shortly after that it collapsed. We kept her away from Mt Rushmore.
Thank god
Did she also visit that arch in Malta that appeared in Game of Thrones?

This is more maddening (if you live where I do, near Seattle) than depressing, but when the northern part of the Oregon Territory applied for statehood the settlers wanted to name it Columbia, after its biggest river. Congress refused, fearing to do so would cause confusion with the District of Columbia. So they named it Washington, and nobody's ever been confused since.
💀
Love having to clarify to people now that I don‘t live in Washington DC.
Truly baffling decision-making
To be fair, DC was usually called Columbia back then, not Washington

Flag trivia: Liechtenstein and Haiti had identical flags before 1936, they only discovered this during the olympics. After the event, both countries added emblems to their flags.
The flag with the most stars is the United States flag (50 stars). Brazil is second (27), Uzbekistan is third (12).

To be fair to the Hungarian anthem, "Freedom does not bloom from the blood of the dead" was pretty spot on.
that anthem goes so fucking hard
I thought mine was due to our harsh lines we don't say to the public (same with many army songs as they say things such as "Our fate lies with the justice our armies will deliver when we arrive at the coasts of x historical enemy, x historical enemy, x historical enemy, and the sacred retribution will be rightly delivered").
But no, it was Hungary's all the time, so unexpected but now of the few Hungarian songs I can properly pronounce!
Sounds pretty metal, but you'd be hard pressed to find a republic or democracy that didn't undergo a revolution to get there. Even as far back as Rome, they had to have a revolution to establish the Republic (not that even that was especially "free," but you get the point).
@@hirocheeto7795 of the following 10 most democratic countries in the world, how many of them had to go through a bloody revolution in order to establish a democracy? Norway, Iceland, Sweden, New Zealand, Finland, Ireland, Canada, Denmark, Australia, Canada.
Freedom does bloom from the blood of the dead
Australia lost a prime minister. He was named Harold Holt. He went for a swim one day and disappeared. We named a swim centre after him...
It's also slang in some parts to say "I'm gonna do a Harold holt" if youre leaving a meeting or something
lol when reading the first sentence I thought "lost" figuratively as in he passed away while in office as prime minister
@trashAndNoStar haha nope. This is Australia and we do things differently! From memory they found his swimming shorts but nothing else!
I was born in 1966. My mother bought me a newspaper (Sydney Morning Herald) from that day, which talks about Harold Holt as Prime Minister giving a speech about the Vietnam War.
To leave without telling anyone is "doing a Harry Holt" or "doing the Holt". "Doing the bolt" means the same thing.
Kazakhstan has Balkhash lake, which is interesting by the fact that one half of the lake is freshwater, and the other is saltwater
Kazakhstan has a perfect pentagram near the town of Lisakovsk and it's right behind a creek called Көтібоқ, translated as Shitty Ass
We also have mountain which name is literally translated as Big Shitlord (Үлкен Боқтыбай)
Also there's a town whose name is translated as Girls' Boobs (Қыземшек)
And Borat.
Theres a mountain in the US state of Wyoming called "The Grand Teton" which comes from French, translating it gives you "The big tit"

Fun fact regarding the Hungarian national anthem is that is a real hymn, addressed to God, sung like a prayer. Most of the modern day anthems are patriotic military marches.
Translate South Africa's.
New Zealand's is a prayer. Also England's. NZ's is much better apparently
Chilean's anthem is both, it's also really long.

There's an interesting Abenaki legend about the former face that the mountain formed: A human named Nis Kizos was born during an eclipse. He became a good leader and provider for his community. Nis Kizos was successful enough to attend Kchi Mahadan, a great gathering of other communities to trade. Tarlo, an Iroquois, returned with him. They fell in love. Tarlo had to return to her birth village because its people had been struck by a sickness. Nis Kizos promised he would live at the top of the mountain. By day he would look out for her, and at night he would light a fire to guide her back. With winter fast approaching, the elders sent Nis Kizos's brother Gezosa to bring him back.
He was unsuccessful because Nis Kizos maintained his promise. Tarlo died in her birth village of sickness. After the winter, Gezosa went back up the mountain to bring the news of Tarlo and retrieve Nis Kizos. He found no signs of the existence of Nis Kizos and was stricken with sadness. On his way back down the mountain he looked back and found Nis Kizos had become part of the mountain as a stone face to look after the land. So when the face fell in 2003, you could say he finally was re-united with Tarlo. A memorial was built at the base in 2020 where a series of steel profiler rods were sculpted and when someone sights along the edge of one of the rods, the face is recreated.
Thanks for sharing
Beautiful story, we don't pass down information through written works but through words. This definitely a story to tell again
I totally get the Paris sindrome. I had dreams of being in Paris for years before going there. I was completely disappointed with the city. Great video as usual.
@@abigmonkeyforme To be fair almost nowhere I've traveled to has been exactly what I expected or imagined. It's best to just throw your expectations out the window.
I visited Paris 20 years ago. As a little kid I experienced the opposite. Paris was very exciting and I will never forget ascending the Eiffel tower
I don’t believe there is much to this so called Paris disappointment syndrome. In fact I have never heard of anyone being disappointed, rather the opposite. The city is so rich in historical and cultural interest that it ranks as one of the most visited places in the world. Rude waiters notwithstanding.
@@abigmonkeyforme I agree. The Musee d'Orsay was an unexpected surprise. The top of the Arc de Triomphe gave a terrific view of the ET.
I love Paris!
@@abigmonkeyforme I would argue that we some places that are sort of like that in the US. Generally not quite like Rome where it's interwoven in the modern city (although there is some of that in Mexico City), but people blow by the Cahokia Mounds every day to and from St. Louis with little knowledge that there was a city of possibly as many as 40,000 people there in its 11th and 12th century peak.
the War Thunder ad is the most depressing part of this video
Yea and their “realism” lol

Incidentally, one of the points and stripes on the Malaysian flag still represented Singapore for about a decade after its expulsion. At that point Kuala Lumpur became a federal state and became #14.
Kuala Lumpur is still not a state, the 14th point and stripe is used for Wilayah Persekutuan (Federal Territories), which includes Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan.
"No I don't want to be independent😭😭😭"
*becomes insanely rich*
Gaddafi's crush on Condoleezza Rice is oddly wholesome.
That was the loveliest part of the video :D
It was creepy
I... I don't think that's what 'wholesome' means.
I thought I was the only one 😊
With what I know of Gaddafi it struck me as incredibly creepy…
The Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the most important touristic sites in Argentina (and UNESCO Heritage Site), it's named in honour to the explorer and geographer Francisco Moreno, who made a huge exploration across the Patagonia and was responsable of the current delimitation border between Argentina and Chile. Moreno could never see the glacier.
“Mentions the laughter epidemic”
Yeah I know I went to the academy, Sam already told me
Paris, where you'll be so utterly unsatisfied you'll be brought to physical discomfort
😂😂😂
i went there, it was way worse than i expected. bloody cigarettes and beggars on the ground, even robbers. place smell of cigarette shit
To be honest, hearing all that stuff about Paris before I went there, I expected it to be disgusting. But, although there were some significant issues with the city, it was actually quite enjoyable and rather better than expected.
Good kebab
And now they’re infested with bed bugs!!!😱
Paris syndrome is mostly a Japanese phenomenon due to their cultures idolization of Paris

The death of languages is heartbreaking.
I sat next to an elderly woman on a bus in Penang Malaysia about 10 years ago. She was the last person alive to speak her language.
Her children had insisted she learn English and refused to learn the language of their ancestors because it was old-fashioned.
I felt sad then. She was a lovely woman, a beautiful person.

Bonus fact. Slavery is still legal in the US.
Amendment 13. Section 1. “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”
Wow! Thanks!
Amen. So noone can say you're not slaves! Get over it! You don't deserve reparations.
Also, slavery still exists ALL OVER THE WORLD.
Commit a crime (felony) = receive a punishment. This is how the world works. That shouldn't be compared to slavery, when actual slavery still exists in some nations.
@@OFinn77 not comparing it. It’s literally written in the constitution.
The story about the word dog is rather interesting. Dogs weren't native to Australia, so some languages adopting the word as a leanword sounds plausible. But as the study with the round shape and the pointy shape called Bobo and Kiki has shown, we tend to associate certain shapes with certain sounds. So maybe the first dog this tribe has seen just "looked like a dog", and the name stuck
Dogs were actually already there for a few thousand years or so. It’s believed that were brought by travelers from Southeast Asia.
it's actually unclear where the english word "dog" even comes from. one supposition is that it comes from the sounds dogs make. (the chinese word for cat - it's an old one - transliterates to māo, and the ancient egyptian word for cat was "miu"). it's plausible that English and the Aboriginal language independently found this word in the same way.
@@haroldhall1517 one which im not really educated enough to make too confidently, for the record. i just think it's plausible
If the linguist asked several times and he said dog, that sure as hell doesn’t mean it was the original name. As said there were no dogs other than dingoes which is what they are called.
There’s been concerted efforts at recording and revitalising lost languages by the government and organisations.
There’s only about a dozen languages still in existence spoken by about 2-3000 within each dialect.
If some linguist came and sat down with an a singular person and he said dog, it’s not cause that’s the original name, it’s cause he learnt it from being integrated.
As said the dingo was introduced from Indonesia some 4000 years ago. Your best bet is to find out what they call dog.. and it’s not dog. It’s anjing which is closer to dingo.
Chinese is Gao by the way.
I’m Aussie btw.
Dingos were brought to Australia thousands of years when the first Aborgines arrived. During their farming attempts. After farming failed in certain areas, the dingos ran away and became naturalized

@@ShadowZero27 Better than most of Eastern Europe and Africa, but in terms of economic and social development, the country was stopped in the 70s and has been there ever since. A depressed, broken nation that never truly recovered from the losses of the 20th century.
@@alex1207_ Fuck that's very true. I think the main problem is most people don't want to improve. Because then they would have to change. It's a comfortable misery laying motionless in lukewarm pool of stagnant water.

Muammar (to G. Bush): "Have any pictures of Condoleezza, naked?"
Muammar: "Want some?"
Here's another one:
The Aztec capital city was called Tenochtitlan and it was on an island in the middle of Lake Texcoco. When the Spanish invaded and took over Tenochtitlan, they destroyed the step pyramids and slowly began to drain the lake. They also began to build a new city in its place. This, is what is now Mexico City.
...and that's the reason that city shrinks slowly
They actually forced the people to demolish their own city
The draining of the lake also destroyed the only natural habitat of Axolotls which is the main reason they are critically endangered
heres another depressing fact: most of the aztec capital was not destroyed by the spanish but by the neighboring tribes that hated the ruling class and most likely is the reason that the city was erased
@@ShadowZero27The truly depressing fact is how people idealize the Aztecs when they were mainly taken out by the tribes they used for h*m-n s-crifice and others dissatisfied with their rule.
And how unlike Mayans or Phoenicians, their sacrifices were so often it would have ended as unsubstainable.
While not heroes, the Spanish were by far the lesser evil in Mexico until the enforcement of the encomiendas and therefore, thearrival of serfdom in the Americas.
Coal Industries have formed new streams and shaved off mountain tops for mining, not only impacting the poverty in the area, but also causing the extinction of thousands of unique species in Appalachia, some of which are only found on particular mountain tops in the range.

It was depressing at the time for Singapore. It worked out.
There was an indigenous language in California where "kom" and "ko" meant /come/ and /go/.
Very cool thanks
Here in Denmark come is also "kom" and go is "gå".
There's an indigenous language in North Africa that is so much like Maori that during WW2 Maoris in the New Zealand army and the local people could understand each other
Tuvalu is said to sink for almost 40 years now, it’s still there, although every year it’s said it will disappear in the next 5 years. For about 40 years now.
The Portuguese forbid people in the colony of Brazil to speak the native Tupi language and forced everyone to speak portuguese. Nowadays almost nobody knows how to speak Tupi outside of the tribes, although a lot of Tupi words are still used to name places, foods and animals.
The Nigerian Prince thing doesn't have to do with the monarchy you mentioned, which was the British monarchy, but rather because the modern Republic of Nigeria still has traditional chieftains dating back to pre-colonial times. Like the Sultan of Sokoto, Oba of Lagos, Oòni of Ife, and the Bida Emirate. Though their bearers usually maintain the monarchical styles and titles of their sovereign ancestors, both their independent activities and their relations with the central and regional governments of Nigeria are closer in substance to those of the high nobility of old Europe than to those of actual reigning monarchs.
And Malaysia kicked out Singapore because they didn't want to deal with their chaos. Basically after Malaysia was formed in 1963, there were tensions between Singapore and Malaysia because Singapore faced trading restrictions despite promises of a common market and discriminatory policies imposed by Malays on the majority Chinese population of Singapore. This eventually led to ethnic riots in 1964 between the Malays and the Chinese. This is on top of the Malaysian government accusing PAP (the ruling party of Singapore) of mistreating Malays, and neighboring Indonesia starting a conflict with Malaysia over Borneo and conducted attacks on Singapore. So Malaysia preferred to abandon them.
I visited Belgrade back in middle school, some 10/15 years back?
Fascinating place.
Kalamegdon Fortress is stunning. You can see from the base of the wall, each era of history. The bottom of the wall is Roman and medieval. Part way up the wall you see newer bricks, when siege weapons and gunpowder started to be utilized, the walls became thicker as a result.
Think the last time it was used in a conflict was WW2.
They also kept several buildings untouched and in ruin from NATO bombings.
Honestly a fascinating story.
My fear of horses no longer seems so foolish!
Lmao as a hungarian i didnt expect to see us here. We dont get enough recognition for our miserable anthem
I like it. It speaks truth unlike other self-absorbed past glory anthems
That last item about Singapore being forced to be independent of Malaysia reminds me of the Caribbean island of Anguilla. It was grouped with Saint Christopher and Nevis, with a plan for future independence, by the UK. Revolts occurred in 1967 and 1969 against being united with the other two islands and to remain a UK colony. Eventually the other two islands became independent while Anguilla remained British.
Thre are whole videos about the last one. Singapore is such an interesting case, the same way Lee Kuan Yew was.

Did you ever check out the Dutch national anthem?
It stems from the 16th century, when the seventeen provinces, each with their dukes and counts, were fighting to become an independent nation.
At that time it was part of the Holy Roman empire, but with the Spanish king Philips II being the "Lord" over these provinces.
The independence war was mainly lead by the William of Orange, of the German House of Nassau, but also prince of the French Principality "Orange".
So the national anthem sings about William of Orange, of German blood, who had always been loyal to the Spanish king, but was now loyal to his "fatherland".
I still don't get how 2:15 is possible. Worth mentioning that Finland also ranks pretty high in global indexes of antidepressant consumption per capita.
Snowing for most part of the year makes for pretty depressing days
I once saw a theory that said sad people in extremely happy places feel more isolated and less like others around them
Happiness ranking is just based on economic/political indicators. If your country is rich, free and has roads, it will rank high. However in reality social bonds, close family relationships, having some sunshine, knowing your neighbors even some level of ignorance affect your happiness positively. I don’t think these are included in the index.
High national alcohol consumption with the purpose of getting drunk and even passing out would also affect depression rates. We're also a silent nation who don't open about our feelings that much, and therapy is not a popular option among those who might need it.
It's a bullshit, made up metric
I went to Barcelona Spain and Carcassonne France, and if its your first time travelling out of your country, especially if your from the states its actually kinda craz experiencing it for the first time, how can i top this feeling this rush, well im going to india in a couple months then after going to alaska, always stay learning about the world and always keep traveling

Somebody needs to check in on Hungary
Hungarian here. We need some hugs distributed.
I was at the Duna in Budapest on Saint Stephen's Day, 20 Aug 1990, and as an American visitor, it was such an awesome display of fireworks and newly-enjoyed freedom. Now, thirty-three years later, I write to my former girlfriend in Budapest, and say, _"What has happened to both of our countries?"_ - j q t -
There is also a syndrom of being overwhelmed by Paris' Beauty;
The Hungarian national anthem is one of my favorites - very dramatic - I'm not of Hungarian decent.

Thank you!
Congratulations for pronouncing Les!otho correctly. Most people get that completely wrong. You are a real geographer.
Paris syndrome symptoms probably mostly come from the reoccurring smell of piss within the city. (The attitudes don’t help.)

Hungary has the greatest national anthem in the West, says this pro musician, because in 1823 they held a competition and the greatest living Hungarian composer of the day, Ferenc Erkel, won it. It's noble music, and not about kicking other nations' collective butts. Most others were written by amateurs, vis- Italy. Read history, Hungarians weren't free then and have hardly been free since, including up to today. Maybe that's why the haven't changed the text, you word people.
Man, you got me. I'm hooked
Why is this exactly what I needed to watch
Paris is typically experienced by visitors from far eastern countries such as China or japan after being accosted by the "New French"

The Everglades fact will soon be untrue, we brought in our most legendary python warrior, Fishingarret.
Some believe that the Singapore itself planned to be separated from Malaysia, especially after the 14 July 1964 riot, called the "Albatross File". Originally being planned by Goh Keng Swee, the father of Singapore and the PAP (People's Action Party). Even LKY himself did wrote about this in his biography around the 80's-90's, but the only reason he cried is because he knew it was inevitable, but it's for the best for both countries from prolonging the worsening relationship with the newly-formed Malaysia's current ruling party, Alliance party, especially the UMNO party (United Malays National Organisation), lead by Tunku Abdul Rahman.
Also they planned to release the file this year fully from the Singapore's government secret archive
Also unrelated topic; I like how Kazakhstan didn't believe the existence of NZ, and holy heck, NZ didn't allowed autistic and obese people inside? This is horrible
I’m quite interested to know what comprises the Albatross File.
I stand with the obese however, even if I used to be it seems fair if their laws forces them to give good welfare. And these people, more than likely are like that by their own choosing.
It's like denying entry to drug consumers. It's in the country's right.
Also take into account how Canada's screwed up laws make it a place where old people, mainly from east asia, emigrate to so to use their welfare system to have basically no worries over money until they perish.
And like, yes, we all wish that, this people never worked for Canada nor give them anything before receiving so much in return from a country which doesn't have an affordable health system compared to even my third world country (and I'm implying that our private clinics are many times more affordable than their hospitals.)
@@l-nolazck-rn24 What are you on about? Canadian Healthcare is free.
@@jahanb2002 Heard this from a Canadian trans couple who are friends of mine. They said affording things was cheaper in Indonesia even. Could be referring just to accidents or in the other hand to appointments but they sounded pretty believable.
And like, take into account they could have been scammed for their identity in Indonesia, so the price difference is according to what they say higher.
@@jahanb2002 No, it's paid for by the taxpayer. This is a crucial difference that many dimwits don't really understand. Because they don't understand it, they do stupid shit like letting in what are effectively social parasites.
New Zealand restricting immigration of people who will be drains on society is what they should do. That's the government being good stewards of the taxpayer's dollar.

I’ve been to Paris three times and I have loved it every time.
8:18 the parliment buildings aren't in auckland tho? and New Zealand's healthcare system is extremely under funded and waiting times to see a specialist in any field can take months if not years. So it's understandable that they're strict about accepting people into the country that have disabilities or an increased risk of health issues, like those who are overweight have.
Originally it was. Didn’t say it wasn’t logical. Just sad.
