    Archaeology aims to open a window into the past by unearthing artifacts that show exactly how humans' ancestors used to live. But sometimes, experts have discovered archaeological finds that rewrote history. Rather than confirm a commonly held belief (cavemen weren't intelligent!), these finds would upend it (cavemen made art and crafted advanced tools!). More recent historical artifacts that rewrote history have changed the way people think about ancient civilizations and humanity as a whole.

    IMO, the OG narrator had a more elastic voice that let him land the jokes. He read the script more slowly and had better timing.

    This narrator has my full support. Just because he's not the voice we're familiar with doesn't mean he's not worthy of narrating on this channel. I wonder how many of us would be overjoyed if we had the option to narrate. This guy doesn't make Weird History any less than before. I'm supportive wholeheartedly.

    Hi! I’ve been watching this channel for years with my siblings, and I have always wanted to request a video about the history of type one diabetes. My younger sister has it and I think it would be cool to make a video about! Most people have a lot of misconceptions about T1D, confusing it with type two mostly!

    Honestly, the ongoing comments from many viewers not liking any of the new narrators is tiresome.

    It’s one thing if you are giving constructive criticism to maybe help these new narrators grow and become what you may want from them but the off the cuff negative comments without it is unnecessary.
    We get it, you all love the old narrator!! But give these new ones more time to grow and find their own way of doing it. Plus give the writers time to find ways to enhance these new narrators too.

    There is an art to narration - this guy - with all due respect - does not have a radio voice, so to speak. 🤷‍♂️

    I don't care who narrates as long as they give me good content. The old narrator was also good and the new narrator is also good. Hey, New Narrator! Don't pay attention to others! Keep doing your job as best as you can (same for the old narrator)! 💕
