I read a comment in another video reaction to this that said you could pretty much write a doctoral thesis on almost every sentence spoken in this entire video, and I couldn't agree more.
Bethany is not alone in loving history, major history nerd over here. This video is fantastic, hits all the high notes while being both informative and massively entertaining. Cheers!!!
How to study an entire 4 year course in 20 minutes. Also yes I love the Renaissance because of all the advancement and creation of art, music, medicine, technology and science. It just feels so chill, especially after a plague just killed half of Europe
The renaissance wasn't that chill for most of the population though. Only for those who could afford spending time and money on art and science and weren't immediately affected by the consequences of the constant wars.
Just to let people know who didn't get it, when it says Columbus discovered "Japan" that was a joke because at the time the maps were drawn differently hence why he said "lets draw a line" then pivoted the globe.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 According to the person that recorded Marco Polo's supposed adventures, there's a mythical land called Cipangu, full of gold, based on the Chinese myth of Japan being a cradle of life, since the sun comes from that direction. Since his journey is described in days of travel and he moved slowly, people overestimated the distances he travelled, so Asia was drawn much larger on maps than it actually is. As a result, those islands ended up being where Cipangu would be on the map used during Columbus' life and the myth of El Dorado was born
For an instant you're like "that kind of does look like Japan," and then they rotate the map and it's Cuba, I don't know why I love that little trick so much.
I'm actually doing advanced history right now, and this was a very interesting video that had popped up on the home page of RUclips about a week ago. And it was thanks to those classes that I was able to understand a lot more of this video than others. I think if you have at least a general understanding of the people and situations of the earlier world, you can enjoy this video without totally blowing your brain with this sudden information.
There's a line in the movie "Contact" when the main character meets an alien. The alien says "You're an interesting species. An interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares." I think that sums it up pretty well. Also, seeing the history laid out like this can be quite eye opening as to the amount of conquering that went on. Though, one thing this video misses, is that within some of those empires were generations of relative peace.
The fact that we value peace itself may just be our human nature speaking. In general nothing is objectively better than anything else, and I don't think super smart aliens would judge another species through "moral" views. Probably. Anyway, as bad as violence seems to us (and how harmful it is to modern society), conflicts shaped civilisation. No actually, conflicts/competition is even a fondamental part of life that shapes the natural world. And which carries evolution itself.
@@xenotypos I wouldn't disagree with that. We make up flowery romantic ways to put it, but it basically amounts to the same thing. "From the ashes..." etc...I have no idea what aliens would say, if anything, I was just using a fictional quote to describe something. That quote was made up by a human, from a humans perspective about what that human thought an advanced alien might think of humanity. Really, it's the author's take on humanity, I just agree with it. However, I agree it's subjective. It means nothing outside of the value we give it.
I love this video for a simple reason: it shows how everything is connected. In school, we learn history in an episodic fashion. But this video gives a five thousand foot view and we can see how one event leads into another. For instance, I never realized before this video how there is a straight line from the Seven Years War through the American Revolution to the French Revolution and Napoleon.
to add, napoleon being punished by prussia (germany) followed by another himuliation during the formation of germany is also why Germany ended up getting the biggest penalty from WW1 which in term lead to WW2 which then again lead to the cold war and china vs china
I highly recommend checking out Lemmino's videos! He literally makes some of the best and most quality videos on youtube. He is widely known as the guy who makes the best documentaries on youtube. He talks about some of the most interesting topics and mysteries in his videos. I think you guys would really enjoy his documentaries. I recommend checking out these videos to start with: -The Search For D. B. Cooper -Cicada 3301: An Internet Mystery -The Vanishing of Flight 370 -The Universal S -Extraordinary Until Proven Otherwise These are some of his best but of course he has so many other amazing videos. I just tried to keep the list short and not too overwhelming.
The very end bit, 'thing inventers' is describing how AI is designed. Humans make programs, those programs make more complicated programs, those more complicated programs then make even further complicated programs.
Bethany loves history. Can’t explain exactly why history never really appealed to me. I know we are supposed to learn from history or we are doomed to repeat it but I guess I like thinking more about the future than the past 🤔🤗
Most of it is also because of the teachers and professors who did a terrible job at making you interested. Like me, now that I'm "self studying" I'm pretty invested, when I was at school I was bored to death with history.
Damn props to Bethany that was an incredibly introspective take on this video. Much more interesting than what some teachers had to say about it. Very cool
Well since we're already on this historical train, I may as well request you guys watch the previous Bill Wurtz video before this one which is titled "History of Japan". Bill mentioned Japan's history a couple of times in this vid you guys just watched (since it does describe the entire world of course.) but the previous vid will be a bit more in depth about their history specifically.
Can you imagine if this format was taught in schools? I've always been into history but for those who are not this can ignite something amazing. All you'd have to do is pause at a certain moment you're curious about and ask questions...
I like how it feels like it speeds up more and more towards the end; it reminds me of how the world itself has sped up so much in the last 150 years. Cool reaction!
History is, and always has been, my favorite subject, both for the importance of learning from past mistakes, as well as for inspiration and interest in different cultures and their quirks and idiosyncrasies
Fun fact: the image when you see Scandinavia: Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland atleast the major 2 countries Norway and Sweden had the image of their most important and wisest God Odin(Óðinn) father of many sons including Thor, Heimdallr, Baldur, Höðr, Hermóðr, Viðar(Víðarr), Týr, Váli and Bragi. He is the Universal Father or even called Allfather, The Raven God.
India and China are the most important to the world for various reasons and hence invaded, conquered ( India mostly) many times , this Video proves it.
The early parts of the video might seem fun ... unless you were there. In the early days, the moon was so close to the earth that tides were 400 times higher and lower ... bringing with it waves and quakes the likes of which we struggle to imagine. Heck, the changes in gravity alone would probably wreck a fragile species like ourselves.
Yeah this was a big one where there wasn't much space to get out your thoughts, but it's why the "post reaction" is there. I actually didn't really realize that the Renaissance was like this little break, to say, between some of the darkest times in our history. As always a good eye on the two of you. If you're interested ruclips.net/video/CbUjuwhQPKs/видео.html this might be a great video to watch (the Loki series actually referenced this in the show) also ruclips.net/video/pBxJnvJx4xw/видео.html I'd like to see ans hear your thoughts on these mysteries.
Thanks, Jason! And yes, we couldn’t really get much in because we didn’t want to miss anything and it happened very fast….except for that looong white screen moment 😂 And thanks as always for sharing the links. Lemmino (and that DB Cooper vid specifically) is something that got brought up recently that really piqued our interest as there is also a vid on Jack the Ripper on that channel 😀
If you'd like more history stuff I'd definitely suggest you check out Sabaton. Their music talks about the history of war and stories from those wars. They also have a channel on RUclips called Sabaton History where they explain the stories behind their songs in more detail. And you don't have to worry about copyright with them, they're very chill when it comes to reactions/analyses.
Ken and Bethany chat about the show, their thoughts on how it ended so low. At first, it was light, with animals in view, but then it turned dark, with war's cruel hue. The early part was fun, and made them smile, with cute creatures and scenes that beguile. But history’s pain soon took the stage, with battles and strife on every page. Ken was puzzled by history's span, the Byzantine Empire, hard to understand. College notes had not shown it all, but the video gave more than a textbook's call. Bethany saw beauty amidst the pain, in the Renaissance, art broke the chain. A moment of joy in a troubled sea, they hope for more of this, a brighter spree.
I'd say the Rennaisance isn't the only moment of light in this overview,, they also mention the Islamic and Indian Golden Ages when those regions were the centers of knowledge and education for their time And I appreciated the less relevant to the larger picture asides, and what they did for lightening the mood - like "the Sultan of Omar lives in Zanzibar now"
Lot of love from India ❤️🇮🇳 This was fun. Gupta empire, Indus Valley were beautiful focussed on Art, Music, etc Rig veda of Hinduism was set to music another thing it had a verse saying world is 1 family. Buddhism & Hinduism were revolutionary in history as they talked about peace and tolerance. Hope peace and art, music remains the focus.
They also mentioned Indian golden age and Islamic golden age, the addiction of Japan to art, Mansa Musa being rich, The place where the sultan of Oman lives, the society shape in mesopotamia, Silk road, religions being spread, and a lot more, but your Euro-centric mind only paid attention to Renaissance.
You talk about the Renaissance being the one bright spot, but he does also mention the golden age of India, and the Islamic golden age, both periods of learning and scientific discovery with art and culture that easily rival the Renaissance.

Agreed with Trent Bobo here; the vid is just 20 mins long, but with the amazing amount of info that guy gets into it during that time, it feels so much longer than that. My lack of interest for history is historical (man, that was lame..), but the way he presents it here makes it more interesting to behold.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 I need to Comment more often indeed. ^_^ Am almost always watching RUclips on Ps4 as a small-break between gaming sessions, and it's not possible to Comment there. So get to log on my zzzzzzzzzlooow pc now and then to get those comments in. :)
Don't forget the two 'golden ages' and the Greeks having the idea of thinking about things. But yeah, that's just four 'positives' in a sea of brutality. Hey ho. Here's to the future.
Ooooh my goodness, I was *just* thinking about sending this video your way! What are the chances??? Anyways, much love, love your content, keep being awesome!✌🏼
Yeah I think your summation is accurate because much much much easier to destroy and screw up things that needs to create so that’s kind of a large history of things but there’s a lot of creative things that it’s basically Ying and yang creation and destruction and you can’t have one without the other
If you haven't seen it, you might like this fantastic scene from Doctor Who where the Doctor breaks down war into a scale model with two boxes and two buttons in each box, one hurts your side and the other hurts the other side. It is a fantastic speech that I think should be taught to all diplomats. ruclips.net/video/uCYobBjA1kk/видео.html
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 you don't need a lot of context for what is going on. Short version: there are members of a shapeshifter race living on Earth as humans and one of them decided they have been mistreated and starts at uprising.
Yeah the roundup frames it perfectly. The best of recognised history is the renaissance, the greek culture, the islamic golden age, the house of wisdom in Baghdad. So much of history's beauty and knowledge comes from areas that hit their "intellectual cap" because of faith and it's so sad to see the world stage of nations (particularly looking at America but also at my own country the UK) essentially writing off those countries just because they haven't freed themselves from the idiocy of theism. They had such great contributions until the inevitable rise of their respective churches I hate seeing them written off purely for theological reasons.
after watching for a few times, i notice that everything go south from the moment homo sapiens start existing. More and more darker than the earlier moment.
I still believe that the question at the end is the most important and mind boggling part of the entire video. ''By the way, where the hell are we?'' Like, yes we're on earth, in the milky way galaxy... But our entire galaxy is moving, EVERYTHING is always in motion... So where the hell are we? Which way are we going? Which way did we come from?
Yeah. Like if alien comes here, and asks why does this happen, it's always going to come down to some jackass who has a statue somewhere and he had a guy who was really efficient at killing the other guys, and that guy probably got a statue too.
The beginning where the narrator talks about “nothing”, “nowhere”, “every” and “you don’t need a where. That’s how every it gets” alludes to Anaximander’s concept/proposition/hypothesis of “Apeiron”! Please check it out!! It concerns how the universe “started”, and “Apeiron” simply means without beginning and end (infinite). When you think about it, it makes perfect sense and some intellectuals and scientists agree with that suggestion/proposition. As do I. And now science has discovered hints of pre-big bang existence of the universe, which I believe points to apeiron. And the fact that space expands faster than the speed of light only further supports it. That means “things” have always existed and this existence is infinite, limitless and boundless.
im a massive history fan too :) i love how the pope for alot of roman history claimed he was the last roman legacy and could give the title when very close to him was the actual roman empire that was around and surived the fall of the western half for ages the pope did what they told him until he broke away. the renaisance was good but dont be fooled war was constant in that region massive mercianary armys and huge upheaval
One thing I noticed is how little 'action' we see from Africa and North America even through they were occupied. Obviously because their entire oral history record will have been wiped out by others.
Man I used to love history in high school world history man there was one pop quiz I had and it was about Cabrera a Brazilian fighting style man that reminded me of the guy from Tekken who fights Brazilian breakdancing
the thing about history is simple, the dark parts is what we usually learn about (and one's loss might be someone else's victory so its sometimes glorified a little bit) history buffs usually tend to say that 'we look at the past to learn for the future, so we may avoid the mistakes that were once made.' yet... more often than not, history buffs just look at the world cynically while seeing the mistakes being made every other day and just... we sit and watch.
The saying goes "You learn far more from your failures, than you do your successes". Does this excuse the past... No. Does this mean that we can't learn from it... No! Notice how it got dark, but then the world decolonized a lot of counties all at once... OVER HALF THE WORLD. Were there conflicts still... Yes. Has their been a HUGE global conflict... No. The thing to remember is that humans aren't perfect, but we are GREAT at learning from our mistakes and adapting to over come them.
The video also didn’t mention that Australia is home to the oldest continuing living culture in the entire world. We only got mentioned as being a penal colony. 🙄
Bill Wurtz said it took him 11months to make this, and that he nearly went insane.
😳
Worth it!
I couldn’t keep up with it haha, going to have to watch it a few times 👍
The dangers of too much information
The start and end would indicate you can drop the nearly.
I've watched this video a zillion times. I'm amazed every time how much information Bill packs into a 20 minute video. Great reaction.
Yeah it was pretty crazy all the info in here and how well and seamless it was crafted. Can see why it so popular 😀🤩
I read a comment in another video reaction to this that said you could pretty much write a doctoral thesis on almost every sentence spoken in this entire video, and I couldn't agree more.
same. its such a good gateway video into history
@@Sereomontis Yeah, every ten seconds could be a separate university class. No wonder it took him over 11 months to produce!
Zillion isn't a number.....

Perfect review of the video 🥳
Samee i wanted to be a history teacher but could not thanks to my shit math skills..
Except for not mentioning the greatest empire that ever existed.
@@virtualatheistwhich one?
The double-gasp at "They're gone" at 06:27 was pretty adorable ;D Their investment in the video was pretty apparent at that point.
🤗

thats why that part of the world in the Caribbean is called the West Indies
My favourite "missed parts" by most reactors is when there is "room for Moors" and "khmer" (come here) for Cambodia.

lots Of giggles and laughs in that lesson
Nice! That’s a good teacher 😎🤟
man your school must be fun
3:38 Damn it, I don't know why, but that "The sun is a deadly laser" verse, sung in such a cool low growl always gets me!

"Ivan the Terrible sounds like a professional wrestler." - Jim Gaffigan
This guy has also done a History of Japan.
We've been told that's another good vid to check out 😀
Where was this when i was in history class hahaha
Right?! 😛
I'm so glad they did this, it makes want to see them do try not to laugh videos
We’ve done one of those in a live reaction and we didn’t last long 😂🤗
My favorite part of watching people react to this video is the confusion when he goes to blank screen for just long enough to make them wonder WTF.
😂
I love this vid I show this off in my world history class in highschool
This would be a great intro to every world history class. First day. Show this video to get people excited for what they are about to learn 😀🥳🤩
As every other comment says, I too have seen this video way too many times. Still won't get old..
😁🥳
Ahhh. A classic of RUclips.
☺️
The look on your faces “oh god. Too much information! Pleaaase stop!”
😂🤯🤯
This is one of my favorite videos on RUclips. Thanks for the reaction! Also, cute couple!~
Thanks! 🥰☺️ Definitely a fun video to watch 😀
I remember when this video came out and I watched it so much I could quote most of it verbatim. Really annoyed my friends and family with that one lol
😂
In fact we think from observation that the first stars were very big and burned very hot and would likely have been blue
Going to space should have been a bigger part of it, but it's great.
Video did a good job of not focusing too much on any one aspect. Just a very broad overview of it all 🤩
I'd say the Rennaisance isn't the only moment of light in this overview,, they also mention the Islamic and Indian Golden Ages when those regions were the centers of knowledge and education for their time
And I appreciated the less relevant to the larger picture asides, and what they did for lightening the mood - like "the Sultan of Omar lives in Zanzibar now"
Good pointing that out 🙂
Lot of love from India ❤️🇮🇳
This was fun.
Gupta empire, Indus Valley were beautiful focussed on Art, Music, etc
Rig veda of Hinduism was set to music another thing it had a verse saying world is 1 family. Buddhism & Hinduism were revolutionary in history as they talked about peace and tolerance.
Hope peace and art, music remains the focus.
😊
They also mentioned Indian golden age and Islamic golden age, the addiction of Japan to art, Mansa Musa being rich, The place where the sultan of Oman lives, the society shape in mesopotamia, Silk road, religions being spread, and a lot more, but your Euro-centric mind only paid attention to Renaissance.
bruh
I think they watched the updated version. There is a version he released that went farther than the other
Hadn’t realized there were two versions 😯
How about history of Japan from the same author?
Recently added to our request list 😇
You're welcome. Requested it as well.
You talk about the Renaissance being the one bright spot, but he does also mention the golden age of India, and the Islamic golden age, both periods of learning and scientific discovery with art and culture that easily rival the Renaissance.
If you want to do more videos like this I recommend overly sarcastic productions for a mix of history and literature/mythology analysis, or extra credits has since fantastic mini series on specific historical events or periods.
Thanks for the recommendation 😀
Agreed with Trent Bobo here; the vid is just 20 mins long, but with the amazing amount of info that guy gets into it during that time, it feels so much longer than that. My lack of interest for history is historical (man, that was lame..), but the way he presents it here makes it more interesting to behold.
You and I are on same page with history. Also, it’s good to see you again. Been a bit and glad you checked in 😊🥳
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 I need to Comment more often indeed. ^_^ Am almost always watching RUclips on Ps4 as a small-break between gaming sessions, and it's not possible to Comment there. So get to log on my zzzzzzzzzlooow pc now and then to get those comments in. :)
This video always makes me emotional
I will never cease to be amused by this video
🤩
The SUN is a DEADly LAzer
😂
Great reaction and commentary!
Thanks so much, Ray! 😊😀
Don't forget the two 'golden ages' and the Greeks having the idea of thinking about things. But yeah, that's just four 'positives' in a sea of brutality. Hey ho.
Here's to the future.
Great reaction yall! If you would like to see more history and/or mythology related videos i highly reccomend Extra Credit and Ted Ed!
Thanks for the recommendations! 🙂
Ooooh my goodness, I was *just* thinking about sending this video your way! What are the chances???
Anyways, much love, love your content, keep being awesome!✌🏼
Also yeah definitely check out history of Japan by the same author!
Thanks so much for thinking this into existence 😊🤗🥳
The video is from 2017 but even now 5 years later it is still accurate especially with the more future sight stuff
It’s a great vid for sure 🤩
Mansa Musa was the Worlds MOST VERY RICHEST PERSON TO EVER LIVE. no rich person in our Modern time can Compare to him
When he made the Hajj to Mecca he gave out so much gold to beggers in Egypt that he single handedly crashed their economy. 😅
Who else got an ad when ‘intermission’ happened
Yeah I think your summation is accurate because much much much easier to destroy and screw up things that needs to create so that’s kind of a large history of things but there’s a lot of creative things that it’s basically Ying and yang creation and destruction and you can’t have one without the other
If you haven't seen it, you might like this fantastic scene from Doctor Who where the Doctor breaks down war into a scale model with two boxes and two buttons in each box, one hurts your side and the other hurts the other side. It is a fantastic speech that I think should be taught to all diplomats.

Thanks for sharing the link. We haven’t seen Doctor Who before actually 😬🤗😇
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 you don't need a lot of context for what is going on.
Short version: there are members of a shapeshifter race living on Earth as humans and one of them decided they have been mistreated and starts at uprising.
Yeah the roundup frames it perfectly. The best of recognised history is the renaissance, the greek culture, the islamic golden age, the house of wisdom in Baghdad. So much of history's beauty and knowledge comes from areas that hit their "intellectual cap" because of faith and it's so sad to see the world stage of nations (particularly looking at America but also at my own country the UK) essentially writing off those countries just because they haven't freed themselves from the idiocy of theism. They had such great contributions until the inevitable rise of their respective churches I hate seeing them written off purely for theological reasons.
after watching for a few times, i notice that everything go south from the moment homo sapiens start existing. More and more darker than the earlier moment.
Even after all this time people still react to this video.
Mark of a quality video 🤩
I still believe that the question at the end is the most important and mind boggling part of the entire video. ''By the way, where the hell are we?''
Like, yes we're on earth, in the milky way galaxy... But our entire galaxy is moving, EVERYTHING is always in motion... So where the hell are we? Which way are we going? Which way did we come from?
🤔🤯
Northerners really thought: "You know what'd be funny? If we named the place with ice, green land and the place with vegetation iceland"
Yeah. Like if alien comes here, and asks why does this happen, it's always going to come down to some jackass who has a statue somewhere and he had a guy who was really efficient at killing the other guys, and that guy probably got a statue too.
Yeah…😢
The beginning where the narrator talks about “nothing”, “nowhere”, “every” and “you don’t need a where. That’s how every it gets” alludes to Anaximander’s concept/proposition/hypothesis of “Apeiron”! Please check it out!! It concerns how the universe “started”, and “Apeiron” simply means without beginning and end (infinite). When you think about it, it makes perfect sense and some intellectuals and scientists agree with that suggestion/proposition. As do I. And now science has discovered hints of pre-big bang existence of the universe, which I believe points to apeiron. And the fact that space expands faster than the speed of light only further supports it. That means “things” have always existed and this existence is infinite, limitless and boundless.
A truly remarkable work.
im a massive history fan too :)
i love how the pope for alot of roman history claimed he was the last roman legacy and could give the title when very close to him was the actual roman empire that was around and surived the fall of the western half for ages the pope did what they told him until he broke away.
the renaisance was good but dont be fooled war was constant in that region massive mercianary armys and huge upheaval
One thing I noticed is how little 'action' we see from Africa and North America even through they were occupied. Obviously because their entire oral history record will have been wiped out by others.
"others" Look into the Bantu expansion throughout sub-Saharan Africa, they wiped out an essentially countless number of other tribes.
When british come india it's share in world trade was 25 % when they lift less than 1%. India known as Golden bird.
Man I used to love history in high school world history man there was one pop quiz I had and it was about Cabrera a Brazilian fighting style man that reminded me of the guy from Tekken who fights Brazilian breakdancing
😎🤟 🥳
In portuguese we call it "Capoeira" , it's still pretty popular in the northeast of Brazil.
the thing about history is simple, the dark parts is what we usually learn about (and one's loss might be someone else's victory so its sometimes glorified a little bit)
history buffs usually tend to say that 'we look at the past to learn for the future, so we may avoid the mistakes that were once made.' yet... more often than not, history buffs just look at the world cynically while seeing the mistakes being made every other day and just... we sit and watch.
Wauw.. I need a minute to process that XD
Definitely 🤯
The saying goes "You learn far more from your failures, than you do your successes". Does this excuse the past... No. Does this mean that we can't learn from it... No! Notice how it got dark, but then the world decolonized a lot of counties all at once... OVER HALF THE WORLD. Were there conflicts still... Yes. Has their been a HUGE global conflict... No. The thing to remember is that humans aren't perfect, but we are GREAT at learning from our mistakes and adapting to over come them.
Well said 🙂
that video never gets old
We are all just a moment in time when compared to EVERYTHING that's happened since the very beginning. Crazy, ain't it?
Yup. Which is why you just need to make the most of your moment while also realizing that you don’t have to be part of the bigger picture 🤗
Wish they had mentioned how Brazil was literally an Empire for some time. Most people don't know that
We didn’t. South America is a history we don’t know much about and it would’ve been nice to have more of that included in video 🙂
The video also didn’t mention that Australia is home to the oldest continuing living culture in the entire world. We only got mentioned as being a penal colony. 🙄
It is an small but very expansive informations that you forget in like an hour.
😂 but still least you only spent 20 minutes forgetting instead of forgetting an entire semester of class 🤗
History of the world was hilarious and if you listen more carefully you’ll get some inside jokes
Yeah this is one where the more you watch it the more jokes you pick up on 😁
I find it absolutely hysterical that everyone reacts to the dinosaurs extinction the EXACT same way on reaction channels.
I love this kind of stuff.
Imagine college professors using these RUclips videos in their courses.
Believe some do 🙂
