Добавлен 24 июл 2022
Searching for History is all about finding history. This channel is a history documentary and sometimes a travel vlog. We are history travelers and plan our off-road adventures, European vacations, and even our local day trips around exploring history. In addition to history videos, we hope to offer you travel tips that are useful on history seeking adventures. These RUclips videos will focus on history in the Pacific Northwest, the American Southwest, and European history. We love all sorts of history including: human history (historical and prehistoric), archaeology discoveries, and natural history. If it’s old, we want to find it, film it, and share it with you! Hopefully, after watching these videos you will feel inspired to go out in the world and find your own history adventures.
