I'm glad that you enjoyed this, fun fact Mansa Musa who went on tour, he actually spent so much in the countries he went to that he broke their economies for spending too much.
And thats where the fake rich african prince virus mail comes from he was the real one and the guy who created that scam used his example as the inspiration.
@@johncenashi5117 Egypt wanted him to take all his gold back with him and give back something else in return, because he had tanked the Gold value in the entire Mediterranean and Middle east.
The thing I love most about this video of Bill Wurtz's is that it introduces *just* enough to get you interested in certain points of history so that, if you wanted to learn more, you can go off and research it and get a more in-depth explanation. If you enjoyed this one I'd highly recommend checking out his "History of Japan" video if you haven't already. It's just as entertaining and educational ^^
You're right, they don't teach us much about the world outside of the US, here in the US. Hell, they don't teach us much about our own country. When I was young, I went to Mexico to visit family for summer vacation. I found a history textbook from one of my cousins, I think it was a 6th grade textbook. There were so many things that that Mexican textbook covered that were NOT taught in my own US classes, really puts us to shame.
But even it doesnt matter what anybody teaches you... Its about interests. In wealthy countries like america for example, you have access to everything in this video and way way more. So if you are interested, just buy some good book about the interest or look it up in the internet. For example mr cliff here obv wasnt really interested in the history of egypt. He shows that by asking "explain the pyramids". This video made him interested in the cause. If he wouldve been interested before, he wouldve just informed himself. Education is so easy to pick up these days, idk why people think that the school is responsible for everything.
*EVERY - SINGLE - TIME* people assumes the video froze and he's starts talking again right when the person moves their mouse The timing man. It NEVER fails
this is something that everyone should see, and arguably HAS seen, yet there are new people checking it even today. Bill Wurtz condensed so much History into a 20+ minute video, absolutely god tier content.
@@DevicCypher We don't know for sure what happened, yet there is more evidence for evolution and the big bang than anything else. Until more evidence appears to the contrary, that's what we should believe in.
@@TheN9nth no there’s actually no evidence at all. How scientists even determine how old something is, is actually completely wrong. So when they say that oh this fossil is millions of years old for example or it took thousands to millions of years for this River to of been made or it took that long for the Grand Canyon to of been made is completely false. All it takes is a cataclysmic event to make those things happen. Science is proven to be wrong constantly. Humans are wrong constantly. Our feeble minds can’t even comprehend what is truly at work, we look for answers and choose what makes sense to our limited understanding. So no you’re absolutely wrong, science is wrong and to believe in science and to believe that even think that one day humans could ever truly understand anything shows that you’re even more small minded than the human race already is. Evolution isn’t true, we didn’t evolve from anything, the earth isn’t billions of years old, the Big Bang didn’t happen. If you choose to believe otherwise than more power to you but you’re living in a delusion
@@DevicCypher and who says it didnt happen? this is how the universe was created scientifically. not by what bible thumpers think or darwinists or dumb as rocks scientologists.
Cliff, if you enjoyed the sly bars in this (you missed a few😜) you'd probably enjoy Casual Geographic. He educates about animals in a light hearted way and has a TON of bars lol. Give him a look.
I always love watching this...and I gotta say I'd remember a lot more about History by watching this rather than trying to learn through school which went horribly
Everybody should be shown this! Your face though throughout was priceless, the concentration 🤔this was a great thing to watch actually learned more from this than my entire 15 years at school 😮
When I saw this video show up in my feed, as someone who has been subbed to you for over a year at least, I clicked it instantly. This is one of my favorite videos, and I love watching people react to it. Keep on keepin' on, Cliff.
I love the idea if videos like this. Usually in school we learn history in episodic form. With a video like this, we get a 30,000 ft view so we can see how all these events are connected. For most people, we dont need to know exactly when things happened but more why they happened and the context of the events.
Hey, Cliff. Been a minute. Thanks for reacting to one of my favorite internet videos. Love seeing the puzzled looks on your face, as you try and process wtf you just watched. 😁 Also, the pyramids are easily explainable. Drag. Lift. Stack. Repeat. Also also, everyone knows it’s not the Moors, it’s the Moops!
I did learn a lot of this in school and then more of the specifics in college. However, I had no idea how truly unique and fantastic the schools I went to were until social media, learning about others' experience. It truly does change your world view and brain when you are taught in a more "citizen of the world" point of view. Also, learning as entertainment from kindergarten on. 6 and Dad, for giving me that gift. Luckily, learning can happen in many places & many ways with no end.
gotta watch the japan one now. i can't tell you how many times i've seen this video. reactors watching it and just watching the video myself, i can't count them. you catch more each and every time and learn a lot.
Cliff what you said at the end really made me think... You said: "We're taught how not to get shot at", instead of: "We're taught not to shoot at people" or something similar. Interesting.
I think that the Sultan of Omar going to live in Zanzibar, is basically a guy trying to get the hell out of dodge so they can maintain their power elsewhere.
Millions of years? Nae, BILLions! I don't know or remember how I didn't see a fave reactor see my fave YT but Thank You from our future! EDIT: Thank You for your work at keeping us back from our cliffs fr nl.
Here is the US we dont get nearly enough history. And the we do get taught is often skewed. But I like these vids because it opens a door to further exploration. Thanks for the reaction!
Thanks for reacting to this one Cliff! I learned SOO much from This video by Bill Wurtz. I still want to watch all of his videos that are history based, but I've been procrastinating. I just watch this one a million times instead. :P
Yeah, i remember the first i saw this. As a Europian i already knew most of it but it still blew my mind. Thank you Bill Wurtz. And thank you Cliff. ( hey Cliff i know some lesbians here in Amsterdam that find you very cute. I don't know how you did it, but you did it! ) You fucking legend.
@23:43, Cliff, I just went to sub to him and he has over 5mil subs, and I saw that he got the shawty award and apparently he is a musician too! And I thought my brain was already twisted from this video 😅
I've got a pretty wild thing for you to react to. There's a band called Ludo that has a 5 track Rock Opera called "Broken Bride". It contains tragedy and time travel and dinosaurs and zombies and a bunch of other things, it's played completely seriously, and it is *phenomenal*. I really think you'd enjoy it a lot.
So that little break where it mentioned Japan the first time and then said Intermission was kind of a joke, because he did a History of Japan video as well, it's hilarious.
We joke about it but honestly you can learn almost anything except hands-on trades without school. I definitely learn more in this video than I did in history class, which I really enjoyed
The name is stupid, but the scientific theory is not. It is fact. A common misconception is that "nothing became something," but in reality, the concept of "nothing" doesn't exist. There is never nothing and was never a nothing. At one point, all the matter in the universe was condensed down into a singularity. We can even pinpoint where in space this singularity was. For some reason, the singularity started to expand. There was never a "big bang," and that is a bad description of the event. It is better to describe it as an "everywhere stretch." Of course, all matter being condensed means it was extraordinarily hot when it first expanded. This leads to bonds and fusion events of different molecules. Hydrogen was, of course, the first as it is the simplest. It also happens to be the most reactive because of this. Almost all stars start their life as hydrogen being condensed together with gravity. Through more and more pressure, as more and more hydrogen comes together, things like nuclear fusion kick off. New elements start to fuse into existence. When these stars go supernova as they start to produce iron. Iron really messes everything up. The star can no longer sustain equilibrium, and the core collapses in on itself, causing a supernova. This spews these new elements all over to come together and make larger stars, which have more pressure that makes even new elements. A lot of stars formed at the start of the singularity stretching. Lots of elements formed pretty quickly. Through these many, many supernova, you get particles of elements to combine into large chunks of themselves, and thus, we have asteroids, planets, and moons. Ever wonder why our solar system is the way it is? Why do we have rocky planets in the center and jovial planets outside of our solar system, then? It's because of thermal gradients. As you get further from the star, you get colder, and the solar winds get less powerful. Close to the star rock won't solidify, so you have a gap between sun and first planets in a system. There's a limit to where you can have terrestrial planets, those being Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. You then get to a certain point where you can have liquid water, and that's where our planet is, the "goldilocks zone."" We aren't special for that either. The goldilocks zone is millions of miles wide. It's a common myth that if we were a foot closer or further, we couldn't survive, and that's simply not true, but I digress. Past a certain point, the solar winds blasting the planets weaken. That's where we get these big gas giants. All the gas that's around Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune would have been here on Earth too, but the sun blasted it off to the back of the solar system. That's why the gas giants are out there. And if you look at any other star system, it follows the same format. No planets in front, the terrestrial planets in the center and the gas giants, if it has gas giants, in the back. This all happened after a supernova from a dead star created our sun, and the suns gravity attracted material from said supernova. All star systems are from generations of stars dying and being born. This all happened and created all the protoplanetary disks of various materials. Heavier stuff is closer to the star and lighter stuff further away. Over time, they became what we know them are today as they clumped together. One of those protoplanetary rings became Jupiter, and if it were two times bigger, it would actually become a brown dwarf star, the smallest star. It is already so big that it stopped us from having another planet. The asteroid belt is a protoplanetary disk that could have been a planet, but because it was stuck between the Sun and Jupiters' massive gravitation, it was torn apart.
As you alluded to, it definitely depends on your schools but I definitely learned most of this in the US: world history in like 7th grade; segments on Roman and Greek history throughout high school; then AP World History in senior year of high school plus at least at my liberal arts undergrad even the science majors has to take several history courses, plus western civ, and most had classes with deep exposure to philosophy (classic and modern) etc. That said, this video or an edited one for language would be a very useful teaching tool / jumping off point in late middle or early high school history classes. Truly one of the best videos in the history of RUclips.
I learned most of this when I went to school. Of course I'm old as dirt so I have no idea what they teach now. South side of Chicago huh? Watch out for Leroy Brown. He's apparently meaner than a junkyard dog.
On your comment that US schools "don't teach this stuff," well many of them do, it just depends on the students' willingness to engage with, and retain the information, plus the curriculum, the country's sense of history, and the teacher's devotion to find a way to get them to engage. Wurtz has another great video called _The History of Japan, I Guess,_ and I've seen many reactions to that with Japanese people saying the same thing. Look at the difference between the average 18 UK year old vs. that of the US re: European history. Pretty stark contrast because the countries in the UK have written history going back well over 1,000 years, whereas, US history is much shorter-basically 250 years or so, and the stuff before that is glossed over. Japan has an even shorter cultural memory with kids because the nation was so radically reinvented after WWII that they essentially have a 78-year history, with a dark past they'd rather not have their kids confront. The challenge comes with the very idea of trying to teach history to kids, who basically have only had a few years' life experience themselves without indoctrinating them. Some kids seemed to soak history up, but it's easy to imagine how well they were doing socially. It all reminds me of a time in 10th grade, when the subject was Ancient Greece, and the teacher posed a Monday-morning question after an ungodly huge weekend reading assignment, trying to play catch-up: "Now who can tell me what forces the Greek city-states, led by Sparta were fighting against, in Battle of Thermopylae?" No one raised their hand, but she picked on this kid from down the street next to me, who was clearly bored, hadn't read the material. He said: "I dunno . . . 'The Thermopylites?'" Her countenance visibly fell, but I could barely contain my laughter because that's simultaneously kind of a brilliant fucking Beavis & Butthead kind of answer, worthy of a comedy panel show, and an indictment of her teaching methods.
I was the 69th like. Nuice Edit: I wasn’t taught this is school either! I got a little more global knowledge because I took AP Euro in high school. But after I graduated and dropped out of college, I spent the next year going through this video. I wrote down every event Bill referenced and just made it a goal to go do research on it. Definitely made me a more empathetic person, and made me more aware of world history, especially in things that go on today :).
Another Fun Fact, When they bring up Tin, not knowing where they get it. Tin didnt last very long in terms of lasting under the elements, so it is rare to find any remains of any of those tools or materials made out of it.
I watched it twice, then 6 more times by reactors. Now I am almost brain dead. Laughed like crazy. Was worried then disgusted. Amazing. I have a bunch of history books. I love history. Now I know more, i guess? LOL
The whole "We only teach about our country." thing isn't unique to the US. Pretty much everyone does it. (China is one of the worst offenders. Don't want any of those Chinese citizens doing that pesky "thinking" thing that people tend to do when they learn about stuff.)
I'm glad that you enjoyed this, fun fact Mansa Musa who went on tour, he actually spent so much in the countries he went to that he broke their economies for spending too much.
He also tried to get all the gold back but it really didnt work out for him, hahahaha.
@@johncenashi5117 I didn't know that, that's kind of funny

He might not rap as fast as Eminem but he throws SO much info at you So fast that your head is spinning afterwards.
Such a great presentation. Love your reaction.
I get some sort of sick enjoyment out of watching every reactor get confused and think the video stopped during that pause at the beginning. Lol
Same 😂
As soon as you announced you were making a patreon i instantly knew that it didn't matter how long it would take someone would eventually request this

I'm 42 and I live in Southeast Texas and I remember learning most of this in various history, biology, and geography classes.
"I have to watch this again in slow motion" is the only response you should have to the first time watching :)
Yeeeeeee i love this Video and your Reaction. Much love from Europe-Austria
Cliff what you said at the end really made me think... You said: "We're taught how not to get shot at", instead of: "We're taught not to shoot at people" or something similar. Interesting.

Oh man this is a classic. One of my favorite vids.
This is, by *many,* considered THE quitessential RUclips video.

Already subbed to bill, hes amazing. And it took him months of non stop work and research to make this video
This is one of the modern jewels of RUclips, glad you enjoyed it :D
I love this video I’ve watched it so many times! It’s very educational! I would have loved to see this in school!
I love that you look just as confused as most high school classes being rushed through every era of history ever.

As you alluded to, it definitely depends on your schools but I definitely learned most of this in the US: world history in like 7th grade; segments on Roman and Greek history throughout high school; then AP World History in senior year of high school plus at least at my liberal arts undergrad even the science majors has to take several history courses, plus western civ, and most had classes with deep exposure to philosophy (classic and modern) etc. That said, this video or an edited one for language would be a very useful teaching tool / jumping off point in late middle or early high school history classes. Truly one of the best videos in the history of RUclips.
I learned most of this when I went to school. Of course I'm old as dirt so I have no idea what they teach now. South side of Chicago huh? Watch out for Leroy Brown. He's apparently meaner than a junkyard dog.
Hell yeah, that will give u anxiety
On your comment that US schools "don't teach this stuff," well many of them do, it just depends on the students' willingness to engage with, and retain the information, plus the curriculum, the country's sense of history, and the teacher's devotion to find a way to get them to engage. Wurtz has another great video called _The History of Japan, I Guess,_ and I've seen many reactions to that with Japanese people saying the same thing. Look at the difference between the average 18 UK year old vs. that of the US re: European history. Pretty stark contrast because the countries in the UK have written history going back well over 1,000 years, whereas, US history is much shorter-basically 250 years or so, and the stuff before that is glossed over. Japan has an even shorter cultural memory with kids because the nation was so radically reinvented after WWII that they essentially have a 78-year history, with a dark past they'd rather not have their kids confront.
The challenge comes with the very idea of trying to teach history to kids, who basically have only had a few years' life experience themselves without indoctrinating them. Some kids seemed to soak history up, but it's easy to imagine how well they were doing socially.
It all reminds me of a time in 10th grade, when the subject was Ancient Greece, and the teacher posed a Monday-morning question after an ungodly huge weekend reading assignment, trying to play catch-up: "Now who can tell me what forces the Greek city-states, led by Sparta were fighting against, in Battle of Thermopylae?" No one raised their hand, but she picked on this kid from down the street next to me, who was clearly bored, hadn't read the material. He said: "I dunno . . . 'The Thermopylites?'" Her countenance visibly fell, but I could barely contain my laughter because that's simultaneously kind of a brilliant fucking Beavis & Butthead kind of answer, worthy of a comedy panel show, and an indictment of her teaching methods.
I was the 69th like. Nuice
Edit: I wasn’t taught this is school either! I got a little more global knowledge because I took AP Euro in high school. But after I graduated and dropped out of college, I spent the next year going through this video. I wrote down every event Bill referenced and just made it a goal to go do research on it. Definitely made me a more empathetic person, and made me more aware of world history, especially in things that go on today :).
As a Canadian I feel somewhat overlooked. The closest thing to being mentioned was the mighty Beaver....lol.
Watch this at least two or three more times. It's like getting a drink from a fire hose.
Another Fun Fact, When they bring up Tin, not knowing where they get it. Tin didnt last very long in terms of lasting under the elements, so it is rare to find any remains of any of those tools or materials made out of it.
Remember, "sun is a deadly laser" still, so don't forget your sunscreen before you go outside!
I watched it twice, then 6 more times by reactors. Now I am almost brain dead. Laughed like crazy. Was worried then disgusted. Amazing. I have a bunch of history books. I love history. Now I know more, i guess? LOL
The whole "We only teach about our country." thing isn't unique to the US. Pretty much everyone does it. (China is one of the worst offenders. Don't want any of those Chinese citizens doing that pesky "thinking" thing that people tend to do when they learn about stuff.)
BRO!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
That was fun! 😂
Alot of History teachers have added this to their Week 1 of the new school year to get kids interested.
