I know, right? We've never collectively been stupid; yet people stubbornly want to believe past societies were moronic. They make me see some of the wrong thinking behind eugenics. (I do not support eugenics in any way. I simply see why some idiots would be better off not contributing to the gene pool. But even idiots have value and basic human rights.)
I'm not saying I don't believe humans built the pyramids but there is thousands of years between these 2 events. That's like saying Romans could of made a iPhone
@JonBennet they used jacks and man power to move a whole office block without damaging it. Thousands of years don't change that capability. Especially when you're talking about individual stone blocks versus an entire city block
A few years behind the ball on that eh... He's had 19469 channels since man harnessed fire in the caves more or less. By the time the Pharaohs whipped people to stack stones on top of each other you could have daily hours of Simon 'TV' and he has a buffer of tons of stuff already recorded ready to go in case he's sick or something. ;-)
Yeah and i hear ppl say oh but he's just reading a script uhhm yeah try reading long ass script for hours while remaining entertaining , like I haven't picked up a book since finishing high school 2 years ago not even I can see myself reading a script.

Obviously you didn't pay enough attention :D Number 41 used the (previously unknown) word "elped" not "helped".. at least according to the text on the screen ^_^
History can be really fascinating. Sometimes it can shock you, sometimes it can amaze you, sometimes it can captivate you. History always be full of surprises.
Didn't Shakespeare invent like 600 new words? I can't imagine trying to write a story with words I'm making up, whilst making it completely understandable by a reader who also doesn't know what the words mean! 😮 I don't think we give Shakespeare enough credit!
Thank you for talking about Henry Morgan!! He was more than a rum 😂 he was interred in Port Royal and the quake took him home to the ocean. A huge portion of the town is underwater. I fell down a wormhole doing my ancestry 🤷♀️😂
1:07 it's going to be a good list if it starts with Kamchatka. For deeper insights into the journey of the 2nd Russian Pacific Squadron and its unfortunate end in the Battle of Tsushima, I recommend Drachinifel.
Speaking of the Julian calendar, you said "such corrections were never needed again". Wrong- the Julian calendar assumed the year was 365 1/4 days long, so a leap day was added every four years. But as you accurately stated, the year is actually about 365.2422 days. That slight .0078 days per year added up over the centuries and after about a millennium and a half the calendar was off by 10 days, leading Pope Gregory to skip 10 days to re-sync the calendar to the seasons, and to introduce the new Gregorian calendar, which had a slight modification in the use of leap days.
he was referring to the point of the fact he was sharing; that about 90 days were added. it is not wrong to say that has not happened again, it would also be fair to suggest that nothing so drastic has been done since.
A few comments on specific numbers: 30: The same thing happened during the Irish Famine in the 1800s, the English forced the Irish to continue exporting beef and other commodified foods and largely left them to starve. 40: Japan is much more seismically active than England, so without modern building techniques and materials, low wooden structures make much more sense and they are more resilient to the stresses of earthquakes than stone and brick. 45: It hasn't happened since, but it had happened before. In 1841, Martin Van Buren left office, having lost to William Henry Harrison, who died of illness a month after taking office (the first president to die in office) and was succeeded by his Vice President John Tyler. 95: The Library of Congress also has aluminum fittings and decorations for the same reason.
1:40:01 “Plato (the famous philosopher) was a nickname given to him by his wrestling coach derived from the Greek word ‘platos,’meaning broad.This name likely referred to Plato’s broad shoulders or physique” What a Chad gentleman!! 😮😂
I'd venture to say farts were likely crackin some up before humans, but depending on your definition speech also came before that. Writing not really unless you get very flexible with the definition of it.
I was worried that they wouldnt do the LONG episodes since they take so much time to create and edit. But they are some of my favourite videos that he creates. Listen/watch while I work and makes my day,
The first item had me casting my memory back almost 40 years. For 4.5 years I'd have to walk past a pub in Liverpool called The Baltic Fleet, a few hundred yards from where I worked. I vaguely recalled there being quite some history behind the pub, so I nipped into my local branch of Google to refresh my fading memory. One of the first results proudly included the text "Patrons today are said to include several ghosts." Now, if that one isn't rich pickings for our Factboi then I don't know what is.
9:00 When pressure is spread out over a larger surface area, the force per unit area (pressure) decreases, making it easier to lift or support objects.
1:29 that isn't entirely accurate. The fleet would have been just fine if they could have gone through the Suez Canal. But with the British telling them NO after the Doggerbank incident, they had to go all around Africa. Which added a few thousand extra sea miles to their journey.
It really is a shame that there aren't any big budget bio-pics about Malinche (the interpreter that helped Cortez). She was an incredibly fascinating and extremely important person that too few people know about.
56:08 Well, its a lot more complicated than that. Norway had some natural recourse exploitation at the time, but nothing massive. The iron ore from Sweden was a more important goal, and it was transported through Norway in the coldest months of the year. The British and the French also had plans to invade Norway and Sweden to cut this vital iron ore shipment. They had planned to do so during the winter war by being "invited" to occupy, but Norway and Sweden said no. The Anglo-French plan (Plan R 4) and other British plans were altered as Finland sued for peace in the winter war, and a more aggressive plan took shape. The allies broke Norwegian neutrality several times in the weeks leading up to the German invasion. The most beneficial situation for Germany would've been if Norwegian, Danish and Swedish neutrality was respected. Then they could've bought the stuff they wanted without spending vast amounts of resources occupying Norway. As a Norwegian I am thankful that the allies won WW2, but I am also aware that the likelihood of a German invasion of Norway would've been very low had it not been for British actions.
The Black Death was ridiculous. Associating with witches and persecuting cats doesn’t help you avoid rats and their tics, mites, worms or diseases. Britain also banned forks because they believed forks were the devil. It’s sad that so many people were affected regardless. Great video as usual brother!
Speaking of cities that sunk during earthquakes, there was one in the 1800’s on near the Mississippi River that was sucked into the ground during a quake in the 1800’s. I have yet to see anyone cover it.
Honey is hands down the best thing to put on a wound, which is why the doctors don't tell you. Makes the wound heal twice as fast and all but eliminates the chance of infection. Mix bee propolis with it to make an even stronger wound care mixture. And everyone used it that had access to it. It was not limited to the Middle East, but the middle east does have the oldest continuously used bee hives in the world.
@@kennytheawkwarddonut9137 That's because of the entire herbal vs. pharm nonsense that was worked out between the industries decades ago. Basically, natural remedies cannot be promoted as having any healing characteristics and in exchange for that are not subject to any sort of FDA testing as to claims. I don't know the details of it because it's one of those things they've swept under the rug, I just know there was this weird split in the industries around 1900 give or take and before that doctors used whatever they had available and after it was illegal for them to prescribe herbs. Honey, along with bee propolis, wax, and royal jelly, are considered herbal remedies and therefore illegal to promote as 'medicine'. If you look up the research, you'll find all kinds of reasons to use honey instead of basically anything else for wounds, but it's illegal for any doctor to prescribe it.
@@kennytheawkwarddonut9137I'm a different dude, but can answer. Manuka honey, which is the most bacteriostatic, is not at all expensive. But the wound treatment on presentation will need any number of things in terms of cleaning, sterilization and closure, if possible. Do NOT just put honey on wounds...you may likely trap bacteria on the body-side of the honey...the warm and wet, delicious side. The type of wound is also heavily considered during triage and examination. Source: 15+ years as an emergency/critical care nurse and former combat life saver.
I find it odd that their name in Huel, but they don't have a slogan like "Let Huel be your fuel". On their website they have a short blurb about how Huel is Human + Fuel, but I think they could REALLY do more with that.
Villain, I have done thine mother one of my favorite jokes of all time. Anthony Hopkins stars in a theatrical rendition of Titus Andronicus called Titus it is one of my favorite films. It also Stars Jessica Lange amongst other actors
I use your Close captioning feature, due to my hearing disability. Is there any way to have someone proof the narrative before you post it?? Any time there is a difficult word, or when the speech becomes fast, your caption just give up.. Please help out your (not so good) listeners understand what you say!!
If he were to make more money that he could then pay someone to do cc it's possible he would, but unless that happens we're stuck with youtube's a.i. generated cc. On this channel it's not too bad for me, but on Megaprojects there are times i can only listen to an episode if i have headphones on.
@@aceundead4750 pretty sure he makes plenty of money, he has 5000 channels and puts out several hours of video each day and employs multiple writers. Also CC's can be outsourced like everything else, but I'd think the issue is that you can't monetize CC's or quantify what you'd make having them VS not.
The CC is autogenerated by RUclipss speech to text almost for sure. So until it is posted it does not exist. He could employ someone to write CC for videos once the recording is done but he'd have to change his workflow to put that in there as a pre publication step.
I can't believe I actually sat back and watched this for 2 hours as opposed to my continued watching of season 2 For All Mankind.... which surprisingly was briefly mentioned by simon whistler in a video I watched a couple weeks ago which led to my curiosity and watching of the show.
The discovery of alcohol was just a matter of time. Whoever drank that first fermented sip was probably like, 'Whoa, wait a second. I don't feel like last month's crap. I feel like last week's crap.' We've gotten so good at making it that now we only feel like crap the next day.
alcoholic beverages like rum or beer where in fact much saver to drink than available water, not only on ships where you can barely keep water from turning into breeding swamps of microbes and wäh. Real Pirates stick to their rrrrum ;) (not soresh**ing their bum) Imho it´s pretty save to say, humans where high or fucked in some way the bigger part of being around. Being sober is quite new stuff.
The calendar thing is what made me wonder why people really value astrology, like it's thousands of years old, which one might think gives it some amount of legitimacy, but our modern understanding of calendars even continues to change today. There wouldn't have been an ability to say, with precision, on a month-by-month basis, whether or not a kid was born at a time that made the kid strong if their calendars weren't accurate to the month. -- although, one could imagine that the origin of astrology might have been in actually trying to find a more accurate calendar than the given one.
Thanks for the breakdown! Just a quick off-topic question: My okx wallet holds USDT and win, and I have the seed phrase: (proof inner hobby bounce blouse able donate virtual luggage cart morning ticket) .What's the best way to send them to Binance?
Thanks for the insights! Just a quick unrelated question: I have a okx wallet with USDT, and I have the 12wordphrase: ( proof inner hobby bounce blouse able donate virtual luggage cart morning ticket ). How can I move it to Binance?
I swear Simon Whistler on one of the various channels did a video dedicated to Bush senior narrowly avoiding being eaten by cannibals. But I can't find it am I suffering from the Mandela effect?
There is a very good possibility that Israel has nukes on loan from the US as part of a defense agreement. It is also widely believed that they have their own nuclear arsenal.
Woman in WW2 near where I live used to make mustard gas. The Germans bombed overhead and trees have grown on the other side of town in the bomb divets.

Gotta love that voice!
1 fact for each channel he plans to host in the future.
I'm not complaining
^ but Simon definitely is haha
People literally lifted half a city block of office buildings and somehow there are still people out there who believe we couldn't build the pyramids
I know, right? We've never collectively been stupid; yet people stubbornly want to believe past societies were moronic. They make me see some of the wrong thinking behind eugenics.

@JonBennet they used jacks and man power to move a whole office block without damaging it. Thousands of years don't change that capability. Especially when you're talking about individual stone blocks versus an entire city block
@JonBennetand a felon with dozens of convictions could never be elected president again
There were also 3 Presidents in 1841. Van Buren finished his term in March, William Henry Harrison died in April, and then Tyler became President.
Nice trivia question for pub talk.
3rd times a charm.
I was disappointed when Simon left Visualpolitik but with all this content he now provides he made up for it tenfold. This guy is a treasure.
A few years behind the ball on that eh... He's had 19469 channels since man harnessed fire in the caves more or less. By the time the Pharaohs whipped people to stack stones on top of each other you could have daily hours of Simon 'TV' and he has a buffer of tons of stuff already recorded ready to go in case he's sick or something. ;-)
Yeah and i hear ppl say oh but he's just reading a script uhhm yeah try reading long ass script for hours while remaining entertaining , like I haven't picked up a book since finishing high school 2 years ago not even I can see myself reading a script.

Indigenous Australians were farming eels 6,600 years ago, before the construction of both Stonehenge and the Pyramids.

I have to say thank you to Simon's better half.
Thanks for sharing your man with all us freaks. Hahaha
Shakespeare invented the name Jessica… idk why but that one gets me for some reason… like really??? Yes….
Also the word assassination. Dr Seuss invented nerds
Didn't Shakespeare invent like 600 new words? I can't imagine trying to write a story with words I'm making up, whilst making it completely understandable by a reader who also doesn't know what the words mean! 😮 I don't think we give Shakespeare enough credit!
@@cococreates26we give shakespeare all the credit. he’s like the greatest story writer of all time
What if he just legit COULD NOT SPELL??? Could tell a hell of a story but NEVER won a spelling bee… then just made words up??? Hmmm
He invented “impossible” as well

Thank you for talking about Henry Morgan!! He was more than a rum 😂 he was interred in Port Royal and the quake took him home to the ocean. A huge portion of the town is underwater. I fell down a wormhole doing my ancestry 🤷♀️😂

In regards to silphium, they think the plant has been rediscovered in Turkey.
Speaking of the Julian calendar, you said "such corrections were never needed again". Wrong- the Julian calendar assumed the year was 365 1/4 days long, so a leap day was added every four years. But as you accurately stated, the year is actually about 365.2422 days. That slight .0078 days per year added up over the centuries and after about a millennium and a half the calendar was off by 10 days, leading Pope Gregory to skip 10 days to re-sync the calendar to the seasons, and to introduce the new Gregorian calendar, which had a slight modification in the use of leap days.
he was referring to the point of the fact he was sharing; that about 90 days were added. it is not wrong to say that has not happened again, it would also be fair to suggest that nothing so drastic has been done since.
@nicholasjones7774 one correction added 90 days, the other subtracted 10.
Thank you so much, it was a hard slog but got there in the end. Very enjoyable video.
Dude falling to his death changed the outcome of that battle lmao
LOL imagine waking up one day and the mountains turned blood red 🤣
AHHHHHHHHHH!
Yes, rest now, Simon. You only have three more videos to make before taking a break for dinner.
A few comments on specific numbers:
30: The same thing happened during the Irish Famine in the 1800s, the English forced the Irish to continue exporting beef and other commodified foods and largely left them to starve.
40: Japan is much more seismically active than England, so without modern building techniques and materials, low wooden structures make much more sense and they are more resilient to the stresses of earthquakes than stone and brick.
45: It hasn't happened since, but it had happened before. In 1841, Martin Van Buren left office, having lost to William Henry Harrison, who died of illness a month after taking office (the first president to die in office) and was succeeded by his Vice President John Tyler.
95: The Library of Congress also has aluminum fittings and decorations for the same reason.

The first item had me casting my memory back almost 40 years. For 4.5 years I'd have to walk past a pub in Liverpool called The Baltic Fleet, a few hundred yards from where I worked. I vaguely recalled there being quite some history behind the pub, so I nipped into my local branch of Google to refresh my fading memory. One of the first results proudly included the text "Patrons today are said to include several ghosts." Now, if that one isn't rich pickings for our Factboi then I don't know what is.
"Nipped into my local branch of Google" had me! 😂

No no no, Nero wasn’t playing a “musical instrument”while Rome burned but was busy fiddling a stage hand instead. Or was he diddling the stage hand.
1:29 that isn't entirely accurate. The fleet would have been just fine if they could have gone through the Suez Canal. But with the British telling them NO after the Doggerbank incident, they had to go all around Africa. Which added a few thousand extra sea miles to their journey.

It really is a shame that there aren't any big budget bio-pics about Malinche (the interpreter that helped Cortez). She was an incredibly fascinating and extremely important person that too few people know about.
56:08 Well, its a lot more complicated than that. Norway had some natural recourse exploitation at the time, but nothing massive. The iron ore from Sweden was a more important goal, and it was transported through Norway in the coldest months of the year. The British and the French also had plans to invade Norway and Sweden to cut this vital iron ore shipment. They had planned to do so during the winter war by being "invited" to occupy, but Norway and Sweden said no. The Anglo-French plan (Plan R 4) and other British plans were altered as Finland sued for peace in the winter war, and a more aggressive plan took shape. The allies broke Norwegian neutrality several times in the weeks leading up to the German invasion.
The most beneficial situation for Germany would've been if Norwegian, Danish and Swedish neutrality was respected. Then they could've bought the stuff they wanted without spending vast amounts of resources occupying Norway. As a Norwegian I am thankful that the allies won WW2, but I am also aware that the likelihood of a German invasion of Norway would've been very low had it not been for British actions.
The Black Death was ridiculous. Associating with witches and persecuting cats doesn’t help you avoid rats and their tics, mites, worms or diseases. Britain also banned forks because they believed forks were the devil. It’s sad that so many people were affected regardless. Great video as usual brother!

Honey is hands down the best thing to put on a wound, which is why the doctors don't tell you. Makes the wound heal twice as fast and all but eliminates the chance of infection. Mix bee propolis with it to make an even stronger wound care mixture. And everyone used it that had access to it. It was not limited to the Middle East, but the middle east does have the oldest continuously used bee hives in the world.
It is something, not necessarily the "best" thing. Hospitals would just use honey and charge $3000
@@kennytheawkwarddonut9137 They use A&D ointment and iodine on most open wounds in hospitals, both of which honey is heads and shoulders above.
@@jeremiahdonaldson1678 what is your theory on why they wouldn't use something honey/honey based? I'm not trying to argue. I'm legitimately curious.
@@kennytheawkwarddonut9137 That's because of the entire herbal vs. pharm nonsense that was worked out between the industries decades ago. Basically, natural remedies cannot be promoted as having any healing characteristics and in exchange for that are not subject to any sort of FDA testing as to claims. I don't know the details of it because it's one of those things they've swept under the rug, I just know there was this weird split in the industries around 1900 give or take and before that doctors used whatever they had available and after it was illegal for them to prescribe herbs. Honey, along with bee propolis, wax, and royal jelly, are considered herbal remedies and therefore illegal to promote as 'medicine'. If you look up the research, you'll find all kinds of reasons to use honey instead of basically anything else for wounds, but it's illegal for any doctor to prescribe it.
@@kennytheawkwarddonut9137I'm a different dude, but can answer. Manuka honey, which is the most bacteriostatic, is not at all expensive. But the wound treatment on presentation will need any number of things in terms of cleaning, sterilization and closure, if possible. Do NOT just put honey on wounds...you may likely trap bacteria on the body-side of the honey...the warm and wet, delicious side. The type of wound is also heavily considered during triage and examination. Source: 15+ years as an emergency/critical care nurse and former combat life saver.

Go to the videos description, then go to the transcript
@@aceundead4750 pretty sure he makes plenty of money, he has 5000 channels and puts out several hours of video each day and employs multiple writers. Also CC's can be outsourced like everything else, but I'd think the issue is that you can't monetize CC's or quantify what you'd make having them VS not.
The CC is autogenerated by RUclipss speech to text almost for sure. So until it is posted it does not exist. He could employ someone to write CC for videos once the recording is done but he'd have to change his workflow to put that in there as a pre publication step.

There were also three presidents in 1841, when William Henry Harrison died after only a month in office.
The discovery of alcohol was just a matter of time. Whoever drank that first fermented sip was probably like, 'Whoa, wait a second. I don't feel like last month's crap. I feel like last week's crap.' We've gotten so good at making it that now we only feel like crap the next day.

The calendar thing is what made me wonder why people really value astrology, like it's thousands of years old, which one might think gives it some amount of legitimacy, but our modern understanding of calendars even continues to change today. There wouldn't have been an ability to say, with precision, on a month-by-month basis, whether or not a kid was born at a time that made the kid strong if their calendars weren't accurate to the month. -- although, one could imagine that the origin of astrology might have been in actually trying to find a more accurate calendar than the given one.

There is a very good possibility that Israel has nukes on loan from the US as part of a defense agreement. It is also widely believed that they have their own nuclear arsenal.
