History of the Road
Sorry about the SUPER late video. I've been really busy with Questions for Science, plus the research on this took FOREVER.
Hope to upload more frequently in the future. Until I get a system down, uploads will be sporadic. Thanks for sticking around!

The Worst Trade in History
Просмотров 6 тыс.3 года назад
People make bad decisions all the time. However, in this case, a simple decision to trade one piece of land for another turned out to be devastatingly bad for one party and great for the other. Support my work on www.patreon.com/qfhpatreon

    If you can’t bury your dead or carry out a funeral, in my mind, that person is not human. Especially for your own wife or mother

    Um, no. Stone is an AMAZING insulator. I live in an old building which was originally built in 1865 or so. The walls are 2-feet thick fieldstone and when it's 90 dF outside, it's a cool 75 degrees inside, as long as I keep the windows closed during the day (and open them at night) I gave away my air conditioner; I never needed it. Likewise, in the winter, when the temperature drops outside, the rooms stay warm for at least a week before finally cooling a bit. But my heating bill is half what it was when I lived in a regular timber house. So I can say, without a doubt, stone walls make great insulation. Of course, if you have huge windows or 12-18 ft. ceilings -- which were common in castles -- that would change everything. But in and of themselves, stone walls are better than any other type of insulation. However, you're right about the difficulties in renovation with stone walls. But I would rather not renovate anyway. Course, someone could build a stone house. Just because it's stone doesn't make it a castle. BTW, have you ever heard of the Guedelon Medieval Castle project, in France? If not, you should look it up. It's fascinating. It's a 25-year project (I think they're almost done) in which a team of archeologists are building a full-size castle, just as it would have been built in the 14th century. They use only the tools and materials available from the period. It's quite stunning. I came upon this channel today via one of your Questions For Science videos found on the Dark Science channel. I was hoping you had added lots of content here. I have tons of questions about history. Unfortunately it doesn't look like you ever developed this channel very much. Too bad. Did you know there is no good channel or site on the internet for world history? I mean, beyond England, ancient Rome, and some on Egypt (mostly related to the pyramids). I suppose there's stuff on the United States but I'm pretty familiar with that. Oh, and I found one video on Russian history but, according to that video, Russia is actually not that old; as a country, I mean. I'll keep looking. I want to learn as much as I can about world history, all the major countries, not only in Europe but Asia, Africa and South America, too. BTW, I wonder when Rome became Italy and how? What is its history? Also, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany Norway, Finland, Austria, Belgium, France, Spain... Not to mention the Slavic countries. I could go on. I should think the history of the Middle-East (what isn't covered under Greek or Roman rule) would be interesting. And, of course, India and the surrounding nations.... I could on and on.

    I know that alot of roads in America came about from old Native American trails. Those trails were eventually made wider for horse and wagons. Then eventually became paved roads. So if you ever wonder why so many rural back roads are like they are. Its probably due to it originally being a hiking path.

    I’m here because my truck got broken into, my neighbours camera system and my camera system both went dark when a black car pulled up at 10:26 in front my house and my neighbours across the street and a guy hopped out all in black, cameras went dark. Truck got broken into. My friends car has now been broken into 6 times because of new tech that thieves use to open car doors and my neighbours house 2 doors down got broken into and ransacked, smashed a bunch of things and stole things. So here I am trying to build a castle. Bring back the star forts and castle walls. Thinking about hiring a security guard just to sit and watch, if cameras can now be hacked using idk. Some new tech. A good pair of eyes can’t be backed.
