    "Charles IV ... conceived here the largest urban planning project of the Middle Ages, and at the time, its equal could not be found in Europe. the mid fourteenth century in Europe there was no other city, in which an enclosed building project was organized and executed on such a scale, over two square kilometers. There is no other city, in which 18 to 27 meter-wide roads were created; where an arterial road was wide three-quarters of a kilometer long and over 60 meters wide and in the New Town alone was the central marketplace larger than most entire cities of this time including its walls."

    Great show, that I am becoming used to seeing and growing to expect! As a vocal note: I think I know who you are learning presentation voice over from. Whether that is true isn't the matter; it's a coincidence that a V/O artist can get into. Unless their is a gun real or not, pointing to your head, read your copy leasurally--otherwise it becomes "pushed," as in "Move along, we've got more to see." You know the copy so well it is easy to do so. Your audience has not had the sort of prep work you have had--they need to think about what they see, and most importantly, what you share. As you talk about lengths and distances in meters, consider adding the distance in meters=XX miles, without trying to jam all the words into the audio. Same issue we spoke of just a moment ago. Irrelevant information to a listener becomes noise. Panning shots and various distances from the buildings or structures might give things a literal visual to apply distances to.
    Lotsa good information and in ways that makes contemplation something to linger on.
    Do you have a music track on your productions? I'm between sets of hearing aids. 😊 Floating in and out of these contemplative thoughts that you present visually music, the elements, such as the seasons of the months that the topic you present are. Even wind chimes, background voice mumblings might add a professional's touch.
    Forgive me if these suggestions annoy or are not thought of as helpful. My once lovely PC is a smoking ruin and I am going nuts with nothing to do but harass creators that are at least getting their work available to show.😒 Feel free to harrass me back after I figure out how to build this wheel-thing everyone has been talking about~

      @ The modern country of the Netherlands was unexisting and the name was nothing more than a reference to the region made of seperate autonome provinces controlled by foreign empires or a personal union of nobility with the power & importance centered in the southern lands. The Dutch identity was unexisting before the split and simply grouped as Flamingi, after that Dutch a synonym for Germans was used in reference. The shift to Amsterdam with also the Golden age only started because of the willingness to accept the wealthy immigrants fleeing Catholic persecution, the other regions of the modern Dutch country weren’t given this privilege. The Flamingi traders of the Low Countries had been working for the Portuguese exploring & colonizing new lands relocated their operation to protect their business, Amsterdam became an international center for trade, the majority population of Amsterdam being foreign wealthy families also gave their culture of inovation, knowledge of science and entrepreneurship to the Dutch lands for at least a century until this dominant position changed again from outbreaking wars. Flemish today seem to allways be mad against their French speaking citizens while maybe if The Netherlands stopped claiming their history as their own and they Flamignant could stop playing the angry victim, also having so much pride based on others history is a bad look
