A wonderful lecture, but tough crowd! Wokes wont and dont want to understand humour unfirtunately. He will have totally lost them at the reference "blamange" 🤣🤣👍 Am amazing lecture of world history in less than an hour interspersed with highly laugh out loud moments if you have a functioning and fun minded brain. Well done Dr. Scott.

So wonderful to catch another lecture by Alex after all these years. It's really great to see what she's been up to since her time at Sussex.

Love this content - amazing and fascinating archeological site. More please! 🌱🌿🛖➰

I was in the room that day.

Greeks and Romans probably didn't waste much time lecturing people about themselves. What they did was live and act in the present and speculate on what they didn't know. We think we can know everything about all subjects (our world, the ancient world, nature, space, etc.), but in fact we don't act politically. Hannah Arend says that every act that creates a new beginning is rich in creativity and possibility. Our civilization is paralyzed and dead. If a 2nd century BC Greek or Roman could have seen it, they would probably laugh at us.

Thankfully Ireland was never fully feudalised if the term exists and the Irish clan system survived at least to the 17th century in my opinion the Irish sense of freedom was never totally subdued in a developing class system into the modern era especially in England, expressed in its language and culture which is thriving today in Ireland. Feudalism isn't the only pathway for modern European societies to emerge why is the "Peasants Rebellion " called so when the participants were from a range of socio economic backgrounds maybe it suits establishment historians lovers of empires etc! PS : War of the Roses continued through the 15th and early 16th century until Henry Tudor last man standing Ireland was not the only violent society because it was perceived to be underdeveloped I wish the forests were still with us !

it's very unfortunate how Professor Eddy has pronounced the first part of the surname of James McCune-Smith. Hopefully this doesn't obscure the otherwise hopeful message of the video, particularly amongst those who may be watching in the United States.

I can't imagine going against the medical establishment now let alone in the 1800's as a black man. We owe a lot to this man for helping to keep power in check. Thank you, James McCune! LEGEND!

Nice & great work...it looks that development took place on the Eastern side of Western side river, as both East & West development look alike. Uruk as in Tamil would mean metal - melting is of special interest if we could get any sites showing metal workshops.. The Indus sign that was read by M C Kangali as kova or the red mouth monkey was seen by me as a sign showing cross section of a crucible or furnace..as metals, we could expect remains from these sites.. The tips given to identify the ancient sites are of very high value to all of us.. The culture is an outcome of training & traning through generations, as human we share them in common...infact, Iraq could mean as I+ AK creat food eer..aakku eer in Tamil could also mean straw? aakku to mean to do!

I enjoy Campbell’s work but he overlooked a lot of evidence with the Gaelic migrations to western Scotland to sell his theory.

Great to see this.

If Greece was the bellybutton of the ancient world, Egypt was the umbilical cord it was cut from.

very proud of all u became. U deserve the best in this world.

The lecturer should focus less on contrived attempts to be witty and more on trying to weave together his incoherent mess of a story. If this is what global history looks like, then it's no wonder that no one gives a rat's ass about it outside of ivory tower academia. Now, mind you, I'm all for intelligently crafted comparative histories (e.g. "The Dragon and the Eagle" by Sunny Auyang) but that's a whole different ball game from the pointless and aimless exercise of so called "global history".
