Karl, you are doing great! As someone else mentioned, change is hard for a lot of people. Your presentation style has really grown on me, and I look forward to more videos. Keep it up!
Don't let the people upset by Simon not hosting get to you Karl. Been a long time Fact Fiend viewer and it made me happy to see you pop up here. I've always loved your presenting style and I think you're doing a great job here. As someone else mentioned, if they're mad Simon isn't here, it's not like they can't go find him on RUclips. He still exists.
Full honet here - first time when Karl hosted episode i was little sceptic - after that every next episode i become more convince that He is the perfect guy for the job. well ... its a new year so Karl i wish you further progress an keeping the energy you show in every episode :)
Karl you’re doing great! I was a little concerned the first episode you took over but I’ve come to enjoy and look forward to all the new videos just as much as I did Simon’s!
Karl, you’re doing a great job. People are babies especially us Americans and we hate change, it’s nothing personal. This was an interesting episode, glad I watched it
Karl, my man, you are doing an absolute BANGIN’ job as host!! The Simon snobs can still find him, I still watch his other stuff, but you ARE Biographics now! Keep it up!! 👏👏👏😁😁😁
Yeah, you can find Simon, but not another Biographics. I'm a history buff, and it's one of my favorite channels. It's not just all about the host. I have warmed up to Karl, but when he speeds through the video like it's a race, with his thick accent, it's very hard to understand half of what he says. He had slowed down the last few videos, but he went through the material on this one line he was on crack. I'm not the only one who gets aggravated with this. Simon took his time, and was just better with his presentation. It's like the NBA compared to the G-league. Hopefully he will do better, and he does when he takes his time
Karl, you're doing great and I love your tangents that you've decided to brand Bonus Facts. I hope they keep you around and I'll be checking out your other channels this weekend.
Massive Simon fan boi here lol 😅 while yes Simon was wonderful for a long time, Karl is more than adequate to fill the roll! Took me a bit to get used to but I now follow fact fiend as well😁 Cheers
You are doing a good job so far Karl! I am very interested and focused on you presenting these videos as new content and also happy New Year to you and the rest of the Bio team!
950 million channels with Simon as the host and people are tripping the one time he doesn't make the appearance XD. Karl, your the man keep it rocking!
Karl, you are doing great man! I didn’t think I would watch these channels once Simon was gone. But you are smashing it! Keep it up. Get rid of that ‘’interim” part of your title already
One little fun fact about the royal marriages (at least according to Bob Brier's 2001 lecture series with The Teaching Company), the Egyptians saw marrying daughters of other kings as a sort of power move, since it was taking a valuable family member from said king and adding it to their "harem" (the word is anachronistic, but I don't have a better one). Meanwhile, the Hittites and some others saw a king marrying their daughter as a power move for them, since it made the groom their son in law. So it ironically made both parties feel like they were getting the upper hand in that deal.
I have been following the channel for the last 3 years and was hoping to hear something about two great scientists that are not known as much as they deserve so I hope you will cover at least one of them. I think that it would be fun if you guys would do the video about Milutin Milanković, or Mihajlo Idvorski Pupin, both were great scientists, one dedicated his life to mathematically explain climate cycles of the Earth, has crater named after him on Moon and Mars, and is listed by NASA as one of the top 10 scientists that researched Earth, and other was Columbia University professor, Pulitzer prize winner, had a great influence in peace negotiations after WWI and was one of the founders of NASA.
Isnt it funny his birth is the same as Alexander...the Great? As Zeus is literally the hellenic Amun Ra. Sons of God.....and in that same temple at Luxor, Alexander, too has a shrine about his birthright as Pharoah. History is quite cyclical.
It's amazing what the ancient Egyptians were able to do with limited resources. I'm Brazilian and it's interesting what they would have done if they had the resources we have.
If I entered a tomb and discovered a dozen mummies not doing much, that would come as a great relief, considering what would happen in a Hollywood movie.
Good to see that hair restorer you advertise works, Simon! YOu're looking younger too - maybe there's something in that face electrifier thing after all. 😄
Happy New Year!! Karl, you're doing a great job - many people are just unsettled by change. Quick question - shouldn't the "scarabs" you refer to at +-9min be "scribes"?
Karl your doing great!! I was worried when I didn't see simon but your doing great. Keep it up sir from your American truck driver friend. Listening to you while driving is very educational and relaxing.
Youre doing great Karl!! I kove Simin yoo, but hes got plenty of channels. I love factfeind and i think youre perfect as the new host!! They should maje you permanent!
Karl mentions that the script authors' socials are linked, presumably that's not in the video description - which seems like it'd be the most appropriate place for it. Where exactly does Biographics cite its authors? I assume I'm just missing it.
You know what Karl? You do not need to question how good you are at this. from what I can take and from what I have seen, this is a new thing for you. And I don't mean that by bad way. But you are doing a great job. keep up the good work and just do what it is that you do.
As a Simon fan, I'm glad he's delegating a bit. Karl is doing a great job. I think they should hire him full time. Let him drop the interim part of his job title! Also, thanks for putting the phrase 'the aroma of the god' in my head. Now I know the answer if someone asks me 'Who farted?'.
Some advice for Karl. If you don't want to be compared to Simon, shave your hair, grow a beard, wear glasses and dark t-shirts or suits and drink Coca Cola.
Genetic analysis has confirmed that Amenhotep III is the father of both the KV55 mummy, identified in the study as Akhenaten, and "The Younger Lady", sibling parents of his grandson, Tuntankhamun. A more recent study, published in 2020, traced the family lineage via Y-chromosomes and mtDNA. Although only a partial profile was obtained, he shares his YDNA haplogroup, R1b, with his son and grandson, upholding the family tree outlined in the earlier study. However, the specific clade of R1b was not determined. The mitochondrial haplogroup of Amenhotep III was found was found to be H2b, which is associated with migrations from the Pontic-Caspian steppe to South Asia and the spread of Indo-Iranian languages.
It's a pleasant surprise that Amenhotep actually married someone who wasn't a close relative and apparently they were pretty happy, though being a Pharaoh he had to marry a slew of other women.
Never knew you before here but you doing just fine being yourself. Yes Simon is Simon and has his own style but don't change yours to much. A lot of people would be very surprised at the very early Simon and I bet some of the present viewers would find him strange too. Seriously though when can you drop the interim rubbish, it's been months 💜
Yes claiming it as british culture is perhaps the wrong wording. However, it is world heritage and the Egyptians themselves see it that way. They are part of the collective Cradle of Mankind. And most likely they were referring to myrrh when they meant the "aroma of the god".
Look, Karl, buddy, my guy If British archaeologists hadn't taken artifacts and preserved them a lot more of them would have been destroyed or looted by less reputable sorts. Granted they should be returned but making us out to be the bad guy is just incorrect

Karl, you're doing a fantastic job and are making these channels you your own. A lot of us are rooting for you!
Karl, you are doing great! As someone else mentioned, change is hard for a lot of people. Your presentation style has really grown on me, and I look forward to more videos. Keep it up!
Bring back the bald dude!
Finally proof that Simon's hair growing products work. Nice new look Simon!
😂😂😂

This was his channel. And he is far better presenter.
No, this nor Geographics, nor Top Tenz were ever Simon's channels. He was just a paid host. @@shakiMiki
Karl, you're doing a good job. You have a little different accent than Simon that I had to get used to, and I have now.
@@shakiMikihe was never the owner of the channel. He was also generally pretentious
@@shakiMiki if it was 'his' channel, he'd still be hosting it. He has quite a few channels you can still go watch if you're that mad about it.
Knowing how sidelined Akhenaten was compared to his brother Thutmose, I can see how Akhenaten got so crazy rebellious with his reforms
When will Karl drop the interim and become full time host?! he more than deserves it!
Agreed
I agree. Perhaps Simon has a contact that has to run out before they can offer the job permanently to Karl as the new host ?
I agree!😊
I agree too.
I 2nd this
Full honet here - first time when Karl hosted episode i was little sceptic - after that every next episode i become more convince that He is the perfect guy for the job. well ... its a new year so Karl i wish you further progress an keeping the energy you show in every episode :)

Karl, You are doing a great job. One good thing with you taking over is I no longer go blind with the lights reflecting off the old hosts head.
Karl, you’re doing a great job. People are babies especially us Americans and we hate change, it’s nothing personal. This was an interesting episode, glad I watched it
You're doing a great job! I enjoy how you're bringing your own flavor to these video. Don't worry. 😊
I love both Karl and Simon. I'm happy to have Karl hosting this channel.
Thanks

You are doing a good job so far Karl!
I am very interested and focused on you presenting these videos as new content and also happy New Year to you and the rest of the Bio team!
Happy new year karl! Look forward to your amazing content 😊😊😊❤❤❤
You're doing good bud! Love seeing you host the shows.
Suggestion karl: Please do Ferdinand III the Saint! One of the champions of the reconquista
looooooooooooooooooooooool The saint. Reconquista. What century are you posting from?
950 million channels with Simon as the host and people are tripping the one time he doesn't make the appearance XD. Karl, your the man keep it rocking!
Been a huge Factfiend fan from the near beginning of that channel. Always good to see you Karl!
#KeepKarl honestly loving his presentation style it's engaging and fun
You do a great job! Keep it going!
Karl youre doing a great job my dude
The more you say you aren't Simon, the more I believe you are Simon :)
Kidding of course... love your work Karl :D

Karl, you are doing great man! I didn’t think I would watch these channels once Simon was gone. But you are smashing it! Keep it up. Get rid of that
‘’interim” part of your title already
Karl is doing great, always love his work
Would be cool to know the role of the high priests in Egyptian court affairs
Karl is doing pretty good! Each episode he gets better.
Great job 🙂
Doing fine Karl. Love Simon, but he has other channels.
Karl, you're doing fantastic. Enjoying it here in Austin,TX. Drop the interim, change the backdrop and run with it!!
K A R L for sure is a weird way to spell Simon.

When did Simon Shave and Grow Hair?
Isnt it funny his birth is the same as Alexander...the Great? As Zeus is literally the hellenic Amun Ra. Sons of God.....and in that same temple at Luxor, Alexander, too has a shrine about his birthright as Pharoah.
History is quite cyclical.
MEGA Make Egypt Great Again!!!
It's amazing what the ancient Egyptians were able to do with limited resources. I'm Brazilian and it's interesting what they would have done if they had the resources we have.
Any links to the documentary stating "our culture"
If I entered a tomb and discovered a dozen mummies not doing much, that would come as a great relief, considering what would happen in a Hollywood movie.
I miss Morris M as the author. However, you're doing a great job.
You’re doing a great job, Karl.
Very nice vid thanks mate, Karl ;) Cheers!
KARL IS DOING GREAT!!!!
Simon been using Keeps..?? 😂 JK... we love ya Carl with a K!
Simon got a glow up 😂.
Happy new year gents!
Happy New year my friend Karl
Hey information is information. As long as it’s accurate idc who presented it. You’re doing well keep it up
Good to see that hair restorer you advertise works, Simon! YOu're looking younger too - maybe there's something in that face electrifier thing after all. 😄
Happy New Year!! Karl, you're doing a great job - many people are just unsettled by change. Quick question - shouldn't the "scarabs" you refer to at +-9min be "scribes"?
Karl would be a full time host soon in the future.
Love yah Karl as an Aussie I say about the British all the time.
Could "our culture" mean 'Human Culture '.
Give Karl a break people!
He's doing a great job.
Nice job Karl
Maybe people will like Karl more if he grew a beard.
Karl your doing great!! I was worried when I didn't see simon but your doing great. Keep it up sir from your American truck driver friend. Listening to you while driving is very educational and relaxing.
Thanks for the episode Simon.
Thanks for the video
Youre doing great Karl!! I kove Simin yoo, but hes got plenty of channels. I love factfeind and i think youre perfect as the new host!! They should maje you permanent!
The Simon reference though.
Karl mentions that the script authors' socials are linked, presumably that's not in the video description - which seems like it'd be the most appropriate place for it. Where exactly does Biographics cite its authors? I assume I'm just missing it.
Omg I love this!!!!! Fact Fiend invasion!
Thank you Karl !!!
I enjoy your narration, good job
You did great Karl.
not gonna lie...thought you were on about Simon. hahaha
don't worry Karl you are doing a great job as host
You know what Karl? You do not need to question how good you are at this. from what I can take and from what I have seen, this is a new thing for you. And I don't mean that by bad way. But you are doing a great job. keep up the good work and just do what it is that you do.
Hello Si.. I mean, Karl 😂 jokes you are great 👍
Thank you.
Happy new year Karl and I hope you can give some good videos this year
Is that a dig or a compliment??? Sounds like a dig…
@@kddicks5115 it’s a compliment and I appreciate Karl for giving us some great content
Lol Simon is trolling us hard since his Keeps hair popped!
As a Simon fan, I'm glad he's delegating a bit. Karl is doing a great job. I think they should hire him full time. Let him drop the interim part of his job title!
Also, thanks for putting the phrase 'the aroma of the god' in my head. Now I know the answer if someone asks me 'Who farted?'.
Simon and Carl need to do a keeps add together
Maybe Simon and Karl are the same person - never seen them in the same room, hmm?
If that's the case, I'm glad Keeps is finally working out for him
You should be careful when you throw out glib comments
I absolutely loved this episode
Some advice for Karl.
If you don't want to be compared to Simon, shave your hair, grow a beard, wear glasses and dark t-shirts or suits and drink Coca Cola.
What happen to Simon ?
Left aprox 6 months ago, due to issues between him and the owner
@@littleshep5502 thanks for the information I truly appreciated Simon presenting style.
Geee, i wonder why all these historical stuff are presented in british museums....
I hope if Karl doesnt stay the host the next host has a business anteater of their own. Business anteater is awesome.
Pretty good video, Simon
Love Karl
Drop the interim cuz, spots yours now.
Presumably he has not been confirmed yet
happy new year karl

R1b is heavily concentrated in the Chad area of Africa
So, Simon is it??
Karl, you’re doing fine, aside from the stuffed animals w/ads. Keep it up!
Never knew you before here but you doing just fine being yourself. Yes Simon is Simon and has his own style but don't change yours to much. A lot of people would be very surprised at the very early Simon and I bet some of the present viewers would find him strange too. Seriously though when can you drop the interim rubbish, it's been months 💜
You're doing great 👍
1:41 yes but the fan fics are too hot to be ignored.
Not them using a CGI icon that looked nothing like him as the thumbnail. And of course, they don't show his most famous statue and wall art. Typical.
Yes claiming it as british culture is perhaps the wrong wording. However, it is world heritage and the Egyptians themselves see it that way. They are part of the collective Cradle of Mankind.
And most likely they were referring to myrrh when they meant the "aroma of the god".
Look, Karl, buddy, my guy
If British archaeologists hadn't taken artifacts and preserved them a lot more of them would have been destroyed or looted by less reputable sorts. Granted they should be returned but making us out to be the bad guy is just incorrect
Completely true. However, there are plenty of trinkets and tchotchkes to go around.
You got Fact Fiend in your Biographics? or am I insane?
Karl, you're doing fine! Please don't let the haters get you down!
