Time is irrelevant compared to quality. Also @toastissmall look the quality may, but my heart says oversimplified because the channel is the dad of history channels (with animation).
The reason Ancient Egypt had so many monuments and public works was due to their style of economy. People were paid in food and water by the Pharaoh rather than currency when undertaking these projects. So when the economy stagnated the Pharaoh would commission some huge undertaking to ensure people didn't starve or leave.
If you think about, that guy who burned down the Artemis Temple probably had a different name. And the name we got was a deliberate attempt to erase the actual name from history. After all, as the legend goes, that was his sentence (alongside death, I imagine) - to be forgotten. What better way to do it than to spread false information en masse, which would eventually drown out any actual memory?
@@joshgamingvlogs5203 To claim this man's idea lived one is to imply there was an idea to begin with. But being a menace to society is no one's personal idea. Otherwise every second delinquent could claim a title of "original thinker". Heck - aren't we all had such ideas when we were young and angry? To leave a mark by breaking something? This man was incredibly bland. Its like pick random trader from the same age and say: "see? his idea of commerce lived on!". Commerce was before and would've been after regardless of any one trader. So is the idea of breaking stuff to take a name.
@@mauser98kar it’s not often that I call someone wrong, but you are wrong. We might never know his real name we might never know his true intentions, but what we do know is that one person decided to burn down that building, His actions have lived on, and those actions are tied to the person, so again, the idea lives on

They actually found reasons to why there are extra rooms in the pyramid, it’s not an untold secret as you say. I studied it in college and they’re simply rooms built throughout the building process in case the pharaoh died before the project was completed so he would still get a proper burial room. That’s why the air vents coming from the queen’s room are too short, the pyramid was simply smaller at that step of the construction
Man, that makes so much sense!! It bothered me to not know a reason with all the egyptology mumbo jumbo floating around the pyramids, but that just seems so logical!

@@fullmetaltheorist I love the idea of building new wonders in the style of the ancient wonders. Dude had a point when he said we don't build anything beautiful anymore. Even if they built the Colossus of Rhodes using modern techniques, I still think it'd end up being part of a euro-tour.
Fun fact about the original Colossus of Rhodes: Even after it fell, its ruins continued to be a tourist attraction. For the Romans, it was a fun thing to wrap their arms around the big toe of the Colossus to see if they can fully hug it. And the sheer amount of metal it contained made its looting a century long process. In the end, the final remains of the Colossus were raided by the Umayyades and melted to become coins.
What's cool about the Hanging Gardens is that there IS evidence for them, just not in Babylon! There is evidence to suggest something similar to what was described existed in Nineveh at one point!

4:50 looks to me like the “queens chamber” was the original planned chamber for the pharaoh but for some reason they decided to not use it and make a new one during the construction
Same. I'd argue they originally planned for the pyramid to be smaller, where the queen's chamber would be central. They expanded it further, and made a new central room. Those airflow tunnels suggest to me how big the pyramid was when they committed to the expansion.
"ancient egyptians believe that pharoah's shouldn't be disturb" The english archeologist looking at hieroglyphics for the first time: "That sign can't stop me, I can't read."
There was no reason to decorate Khufu's innermost chamber, because the pyramid itself is the decoration. "Look how powerful i was, they made this entire thing just for me."
Decorations in the inner chambers only started happening later, when they decided to build their tombs underground to deter tomb raiders, among other reasons. Think Tut, undergrounf burial, massively decorated inner chambers.
But was it REALLY a grave? Some suggest it was the Egiptian eqzivalent of a storage for all proper measurements, kept in the king's chamber temperate climate to stay unchanged "forever". And the floor-tiles around the whole structure might have been able to mesure the time of the whole year within the accuragy of about a quarter of an hour. The white marble the Great Pyramid was clad in was reflecting so brightly, that it was called "the light": the sides showed a shadow down their middle for the way this big "4-pointed star base" was constructed🤭

3:10 woah now, the blocks for the pyramid were cut 500 miles away. That's a pretty big hurdle they had to deal with, as the trip takes months, even in chariots. Even if you float these blocks down the Nile. 500 miles.
And the pyramids being tombs was just an idea of the first western explorers. There never was found even one mummy inside a pyramid as far as I‘m aware. The Pharaos were buried in chambers and tombs in the valley of the kings. Also there was no literature or even hyroglyphes implying the pyramids were tombs as far as I‘m aware.

They do exist, just not in Babylon. But in the city of Nineveh. Try searching for "Gardens of Sennacherib", and compare that to the Greece's description of the Garden. The Greeks may mistook Nineveh with Babylon, but we're all make a mistake, right?
A translation of Babylon can mean gate of the gods. Considering there was a time when the Assyrians had dominion over the Akkadian city , it was likely that they tried to promote their capital of Nineveh over its rival by declaring it as a New Babylon
amazing video quality, animation, and i love the life in your voice, so many history and science channels i enjoy are read in such monotone which is fine and i love them but its so nice to see someone feel like theyre enjoying telling the content as much as we enjoy learning it
5:00 the lower chambers were built first, and so the ventilation shafts did not need to travel as far to ventilate that section. The internal aspects of the pyramid were completed alongside the external construction. So once those ventilation shafts were no longer needed, they just built over them.
I dont know anything about these videos usually because arch has such good ideas that are so creative and usually unkown but finally i have some idea about this cause i did learn about the seven ancient wonders. Cant wait to watch
The Temple of Artemis was also the largest Greek Temple ever built, with its size being in the range of 140x69 meters to 125x69 meters. It was also lavishly adorned with sculptures all around the exterior and interior, some of which (like a sculpted drum from the top of a column) can be found at the... British Museum, of all places. Also, the ruins do not look anything like that. There is only a single column standing with remains of the foundation. However, if you want to be able to understand what it looked like and the sheer scale of that place, you can visit the Temple of Apollo at Didyma, a hundred or so kilometers south of the Temple of Artemis. It was of a very similar scale, being 120x60 meters and is much more intact. Also, we do NOT have shawarma. We have döner (which is the OG), and I WILL come to your house and hurt you if you call it shawarma again.
I loved this SO MUCH, everything about it was great, i cant state enough how much joy i had while watching this, specially our main plot where our life time was short but we didnt knew why... now i know, but i have to ask why did you killed me if i remembered two names 🥺 or why you didnt kept us as forced time traveller partners under death penalty 🥺🥺

22:17 For his help, Ptolemy 1 of Egypt would be give the title of Soter which meant Savior. And this would became the name of his dynasty, the Soter Dynasty.
*Ptolemaic dynasty. Or the Lagid dynasty, after Ptolemy I's father, Lagus. The epithet of Soter was basically just a nickname, many noteworthy (greek) rulers had one of these. Demetrius himself for instance earned himself the epithet of Poliorcetes, the besieger. Dysnasty names are not named after epithets as far as I'm aware; mostly because they are acquired later in life.
I could be wrong but i remember watching a documentary back in the day talking about those long shafts in the great pyramid. They looked at what the sky's constellations looked like back in their time, and the way those shafts are angled were to suggest the soul of the Pharoah would use those as guidelines to follow himself to the heavens, directly into a certain constellation i dont remember. They really focused on ways to help the dead make their way to the afterlife any way they could (which is why they keep organs, treasure, food, everything to help aid in the journey). There was significance with the 3 smaller pyramids as well. Like all of it together was to be aligned structually with the stars. Just a theory and i could be wrong, but interesting either way 😅
I just checked, and it's approximately 480km away from babylon, which at average human walking speed of 5km per hour is only 96 hours worth of walking away... divide that up by days with 6-8 hours of walking and about 12-16 days away, definately close enough for some people who spent months on the road to mess up, especially if there was a road intersection and they went one direction rather than the other. After that its all about a misinterpretation or a greek scholar thinking that making the gardens in babylon would sound cooler than them being in some less known city... because the greek story writers definitely did not mind doing things like that from time to time.
@@momtchilboshniakov290 Nineveh was not a "less known city", at its height it had 200K people living there, which was like New York or Tokyo of 7 century BC. But yes, it may have been a less known to Greek historians at the time they were describing Hanging Gardens.
@@_Diana_S At the same time, the assyrians had long collapsed, and the babylonians were the most recent force in the region to the greeks outside of persia/media
@@_Diana_S just for clarification, i did mean it relatively speaking, for the time when our Greek sources were written and mostly the rest was speculation (to be honest I'm not a historian, only an avid documentary watcher, and i only know of the existence of Greek and Egyptian sources for Babylon, and i only remember the Greek ones specifically mentioning the garden)
My biggest gripe with the "new wonders of the world" is that somehow the Cristo Redentor made the list. I get that it is iconic, but it isn't all that wondrous. It's not even one of the top 50 largest statues in the world. It's a very simple statue made of concrete. Hell, the statue of liberty is older, much larger, made of bronze and just as iconic, yet it didn't make the list (not that it should have either).
Never came across this channel before. The production value is off the charts! Even the ad read was seamlessly worked into a larger story that I felt like I was a part of rather than just shown rough drawings and stick figures (don't get me wrong, Sam O'Nella is fantastic)... but this feels like something your teacher would show you in history class! Can't imagine the amount of work that went into the script, story board, animation etc all for me to sit at my computer at 1AM watching it. That's why I love RUclips and have never seen a channel more deserving of a like, sub and even a sub to the patreon! Love what you're doing brother 🙏
This is again a Masterpeace! This is not only the best product placement i've seen it's also one of the best Videos. This is genius and so fun to watch. Just a work of Art, I love it please keep going!
My best guess for the queens chamber is that it was actually the kings chamber, before deciding to start again and build a better one. Or it was a chamber to house workers during shifts or food and water while working. So interesting.
This might be my new favorite channel. The art style and story telling is just very captivating and intriguing. I don't even like history and I'm eagerly listening to this time travelling man. I even watched the whole ad without skipping. One of the most entertaining channel I've accidentally stumbled recently.
@@nobleman9393 The dead bodies with all the slaves were there to operate the gun .... But due to radiation of the gun they must be separated from the general public so they were buried there as they died ...
This channel came out of nowhere and from the very start, every single video is a banger! The team behind it is very talented and I cant wait to see what they do next. This channel knows its purpose and it shows. Its not one of those youtube channels that decides to tackle history for the sake of having some theme to form their content around. There is genuine love for history, humor and animation. I also love the short critique of our modern world and its architecture. Could just be a throwaway line or maybe an unfinished thought. Maybe we get a video that expands on the idea of the soulless globalization one day? And why culture matters? Like when Saladin (in "Kingdom of Heaven") is questioned "What is Jerusalem even worth?" His response is "Nothing. Everything!" And the same can be said for culture. It simultaneously means nothing and EVERYTHING!
Was wondering how I never saw your channel before…amazing quality for how relatively recent you started I figured you had been doing this for years and years. Keep up the great work man and can’t wait to see more!!
Some people seem to think they were also built to stock pile grain and other important stuff for the Egyptian's. But nobody really knows. I know it's not out of this world. They were very smart people.
Honestly one of the best and most memorable videos I watched through the thousands of hours I have on RUclips. It managed to peak my interests in traveling the B.C world. I just hope the algorithm recognizes this gem
This was fantastic, your channel is great with good animation,with your own style,humor,and charm. You bring interesting topics not many bring up and that makes me so happy to see. I can't wait for your next video.😊
Personally, I would consider the following to be the 7 wonders of the world: 1. the Great Pyramid of Giza 2. the Great Wall of China 3. the Panama Canal 4. the Netherlands North Sea Protection Works 5. the International Space Station 6. the Internet 7. Bonus spot, can be switched every year to give attention to other monuments that deserve it. If Nuclear Fusion ever becomes viable, the first reactor that manages it will probably get this spot.
Nah fuck it we should make this is a guinness book of records type of situation First expand the list, add stuff like the ISS, panama canal, some of the giant buddha statues around asia, and haters gonna hate the house of the people, just keep going so the list is as expansive as possible. also in the future once a system is decided including other works of art such as a poem, a piece of violin music, a rap song, so on so forth. Every 5 years (or however long) the organization comes up with the following lists: Dealer's Choice, Popular will, Charity drive, and Rngesus Dealer's choice somehow decided by the organization, not sure exactly how this should be decided Popular will: The organization organizes votes and to the best of possibility (maybe using blockchain) in all the countries that take part, people show up and vote just like they do for everything else, although someone smarter than me needs to figure out a way so that india/china don't just decide everything because they have the population (maybe each country gets X votes and the percentage for each is based on the popular vote?) Charity drive: One wonder is chosen by the biggest donor towards a prostate cancer research place, one is chosen by the biggest donor towards a breast cancer research place, one is wonder is chosen by the biggest donor towards reversing blindness (those things to change over years), one is chosen by the biggest donor towards child charities, one by the biggest donor towards animal charities (not PETA), one by the biggest donor towards wildlife preservation efforts, and one by the biggest donor towards ocean conservation efforts. Rngesus: Randomly chosen from the list minus the ones above And why not let's make another wonder somewhere (I vote Liberland or another tiny nation that's not recognized) and we have the winners turned into plaques or holographic statues or NFTs or whatever would convince those greedy animals to be more human.
Amazing Video Bro! Since im such an ancient history fan, I just loved this vidso so much. Just a suggestion but you should also consider making a vid about the new world wonders!
oh! i really liked the art style of the animation, and well other parts of video too, of course. probably the fastest subscription to a channel i’ve ever done (in fact, even before the intro started) lol.
Absolutely stunned by the fact that this whole video is an animation. Phenomenal job to the team, it really elevates the already good content on a new level, really happy to see stuff like this these days, when it's becoming rarer by the day.

A translation of Babylon can mean gate of the gods. Considering there was a time when the Assyrians had dominion over the Akkadian city , it was likely that they tried to promote their capital of Nineveh over its rival by declaring it as a New Babylon
@@RocketHarry865foreigners at that time pretty much called every great city Babylon
Yea it was just a prank bro 🎉
@@RocketHarry865Assyrians all
amazing video quality, animation, and i love the life in your voice, so many history and science channels i enjoy are read in such monotone which is fine and i love them but its so nice to see someone feel like theyre enjoying telling the content as much as we enjoy learning it
5:00 the lower chambers were built first, and so the ventilation shafts did not need to travel as far to ventilate that section. The internal aspects of the pyramid were completed alongside the external construction. So once those ventilation shafts were no longer needed, they just built over them.
I dont know anything about these videos usually because arch has such good ideas that are so creative and usually unkown but finally i have some idea about this cause i did learn about the seven ancient wonders. Cant wait to watch
The Temple of Artemis was also the largest Greek Temple ever built, with its size being in the range of 140x69 meters to 125x69 meters. It was also lavishly adorned with sculptures all around the exterior and interior, some of which (like a sculpted drum from the top of a column) can be found at the... British Museum, of all places.
Also, the ruins do not look anything like that. There is only a single column standing with remains of the foundation.
However, if you want to be able to understand what it looked like and the sheer scale of that place, you can visit the Temple of Apollo at Didyma, a hundred or so kilometers south of the Temple of Artemis. It was of a very similar scale, being 120x60 meters and is much more intact.
Also, we do NOT have shawarma. We have döner (which is the OG), and I WILL come to your house and hurt you if you call it shawarma again.
I call it kebab.
@@JinLin-s8g kebap is different
Aynısını yazmaya gelmiştim. Siperler boş kalmamış iyi. 😊
Yeeros >>>>
@@frfras7it's just a knockoff of döner
I loved this SO MUCH, everything about it was great, i cant state enough how much joy i had while watching this, specially our main plot where our life time was short but we didnt knew why... now i know, but i have to ask why did you killed me if i remembered two names 🥺 or why you didnt kept us as forced time traveller partners under death penalty 🥺🥺
I literally just wanted to take the time to tell you the way you present info, animation, and crafting stories is top tier dude. I love history, and I can tell you love it too from videos like this!
22:17 For his help, Ptolemy 1 of Egypt would be give the title of Soter which meant Savior. And this would became the name of his dynasty, the Soter Dynasty.
*Ptolemaic dynasty. Or the Lagid dynasty, after Ptolemy I's father, Lagus. The epithet of Soter was basically just a nickname, many noteworthy (greek) rulers had one of these. Demetrius himself for instance earned himself the epithet of Poliorcetes, the besieger. Dysnasty names are not named after epithets as far as I'm aware; mostly because they are acquired later in life.
I could be wrong but i remember watching a documentary back in the day talking about those long shafts in the great pyramid. They looked at what the sky's constellations looked like back in their time, and the way those shafts are angled were to suggest the soul of the Pharoah would use those as guidelines to follow himself to the heavens, directly into a certain constellation i dont remember. They really focused on ways to help the dead make their way to the afterlife any way they could (which is why they keep organs, treasure, food, everything to help aid in the journey). There was significance with the 3 smaller pyramids as well. Like all of it together was to be aligned structually with the stars. Just a theory and i could be wrong, but interesting either way 😅
BUT THAT JUST A THEORY A HISTORY THEORY
@@magnuson8080 ooooohhhhh heeeeelll nooooooo!
But is a cool theory too that I think can be true and would definitely support discoveries 😊
The Pyramids are not tombs. That was made up by a handful of archaeologists.
@@daviddunkelheit9952then who is the more trustworthy guy that says that they weren't tombs?
Amazing video brother and thank you for your time and effort!!!
16:49 “what’s your favourite country?”
“The Black Sea”
You mean Colchis?
One of my fondest memories is when the answer to Final Jeopardy was “The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus” and I knew it, and my family was like… 😳🥳👏👏
27:55
Look, man, I’m just really bad at remembering names. I don’t even remember your name.
he has a nice double barrel though
Sad you didn’t talk about the possibility of the hanging garden of Babylon actually being the gardens of Nineveh in assyria
Yeah I thought that too. Perhaps the Greeks misinterpreted their source?
I've heard the Hanging Gardens of Babylon may have actually been the Hanging Gardens of Niniveh.
I just checked, and it's approximately 480km away from babylon, which at average human walking speed of 5km per hour is only 96 hours worth of walking away... divide that up by days with 6-8 hours of walking and about 12-16 days away, definately close enough for some people who spent months on the road to mess up, especially if there was a road intersection and they went one direction rather than the other. After that its all about a misinterpretation or a greek scholar thinking that making the gardens in babylon would sound cooler than them being in some less known city... because the greek story writers definitely did not mind doing things like that from time to time.
Interesting
@@momtchilboshniakov290 Nineveh was not a "less known city", at its height it had 200K people living there, which was like New York or Tokyo of 7 century BC. But yes, it may have been a less known to Greek historians at the time they were describing Hanging Gardens.
@@_Diana_S At the same time, the assyrians had long collapsed, and the babylonians were the most recent force in the region to the greeks outside of persia/media
@@_Diana_S just for clarification, i did mean it relatively speaking, for the time when our Greek sources were written and mostly the rest was speculation (to be honest I'm not a historian, only an avid documentary watcher, and i only know of the existence of Greek and Egyptian sources for Babylon, and i only remember the Greek ones specifically mentioning the garden)
My biggest gripe with the "new wonders of the world" is that somehow the Cristo Redentor made the list. I get that it is iconic, but it isn't all that wondrous. It's not even one of the top 50 largest statues in the world. It's a very simple statue made of concrete. Hell, the statue of liberty is older, much larger, made of bronze and just as iconic, yet it didn't make the list (not that it should have either).
Statue of liberty is copper that’s why she’s green!
You forget to mention the inside of the pyramid is completely smooth without any writing.
Let that sink in.
8:30 then, who designed that popular picture of hanging gardens we all know of today as to how it may have looked and how did it get so popularized ?
Never came across this channel before. The production value is off the charts! Even the ad read was seamlessly worked into a larger story that I felt like I was a part of rather than just shown rough drawings and stick figures (don't get me wrong, Sam O'Nella is fantastic)... but this feels like something your teacher would show you in history class! Can't imagine the amount of work that went into the script, story board, animation etc all for me to sit at my computer at 1AM watching it. That's why I love RUclips and have never seen a channel more deserving of a like, sub and even a sub to the patreon! Love what you're doing brother 🙏
I know this is probably off-topic, but I just love everytime you upload a video, you add a character to the banner. I'd say that's really creative!
Im glad someone noticed :)
@@HeyHistoricallyOk I have to say, that's pretty cool!
@@HeyHistorically did you add a Alabama joke or did Mausolus come back from Alabama
@@HeyHistoricallyalso I remember the name Khufu
I love people like you
This is again a Masterpeace! This is not only the best product placement i've seen it's also one of the best Videos. This is genius and so fun to watch. Just a work of Art, I love it please keep going!
My best guess for the queens chamber is that it was actually the kings chamber, before deciding to start again and build a better one. Or it was a chamber to house workers during shifts or food and water while working. So interesting.
This might be my new favorite channel. The art style and story telling is just very captivating and intriguing. I don't even like history and I'm eagerly listening to this time travelling man. I even watched the whole ad without skipping. One of the most entertaining channel I've accidentally stumbled recently.
Hear me out here the pyramids were actually super guns but were never used ...
Were listening
Why were they putting dead bodies inside?
@@nobleman9393 they use the methane of all the bodies and the slaves ..
@@nobleman9393 The dead bodies with all the slaves were there to operate the gun .... But due to radiation of the gun they must be separated from the general public so they were buried there as they died ...
@@parthasarathyvenkatadri Makes sense.
Such a great video. I really wish that these 7 wonders were still here. Be great to see them, I especially loved the hanging gardens.
Your sub count is criminally lower than it should be for the work y’all put in 😭
Keep up the great work!
My thought during the end of the egypt segment:
Time Traveler: "You shouldn't be here."
Ancient Aliens: "Neither should you."
Im usually dont really comment under videos, but man - this is what we call quality!! Im sure much work is in it, salute to the team.
It's clear lot of work was put into this one!! good job and keep it up.
Ik kan de moeite die in deze video is gestoken erg waarderen 👍
This channel came out of nowhere and from the very start, every single video is a banger! The team behind it is very talented and I cant wait to see what they do next.
This channel knows its purpose and it shows. Its not one of those youtube channels that decides to tackle history for the sake of having some theme to form their content around. There is genuine love for history, humor and animation.
I also love the short critique of our modern world and its architecture. Could just be a throwaway line or maybe an unfinished thought. Maybe we get a video that expands on the idea of the soulless globalization one day? And why culture matters?
Like when Saladin (in "Kingdom of Heaven") is questioned "What is Jerusalem even worth?" His response is "Nothing. Everything!"
And the same can be said for culture. It simultaneously means nothing and EVERYTHING!
"We've got Oversimplified at home:"
*Undersimplified*
This has been one of the best cartoon explain videos I have seen. Informative and actually funny. Keep it up!
I genuinely don’t know how I haven’t come across your content until now. This video was incredible and you’ve earned a subscriber
Was wondering how I never saw your channel before…amazing quality for how relatively recent you started I figured you had been doing this for years and years. Keep up the great work man and can’t wait to see more!!
the death glasses joke @ 16:55 was elite.
Just discovered this channel and Im very impressed. Definitely subscribing!
20:28 bro really said "allow me to oversimplify" and became oversimplified
The video was so well made I was sad it’s over
hell yeah this is perfect to watch with my poutine lunch
That "horse" in the sketch of the Mausoleum at 17:43 looks a lot like it came right out of My Little Pony, cutiemark included
The videos just keep getting better! Bravo!
Definitely didn’t remember the names 😂😂😂 great video
Some people seem to think they were also built to stock pile grain and other important stuff for the Egyptian's. But nobody really knows. I know it's not out of this world. They were very smart people.
This is amazing. Your best video yet
Honestly one of the best and most memorable videos I watched through the thousands of hours I have on RUclips. It managed to peak my interests in traveling the B.C world. I just hope the algorithm recognizes this gem
Piqued not peaked
Awesome video, keep it up! I can tell it took several months to make, the quality is top notch
The animation is insane
1:31 what's the name of the soundtrack here?
No clue :(
Shostakovich - Waltz 2
Wow, this art style and animation quality is really good... Does just one guy make this? It's hella impressive, and good narration writing too
This was fantastic, your channel is great with good animation,with your own style,humor,and charm. You bring interesting topics not many bring up and that makes me so happy to see. I can't wait for your next video.😊
you should be at least 40 million subscribers. wtf is this production
That ad segway was great. So great, I ALMOST thought it was worth actually watching it.
5:30 “when modern archaeologists opened it, they realized someone had already stole it before they could” lol
What about compunding interest? Thats the 8th wonder of the world
Love the involvement of the viewer as a character, does feel like a Dora episode but it’s fun lmao
17:04 WHY DID YOU MAKE THIS FACE. HOW MUCH DO I HAVE TO LIVE?!
Super clean ad transition. Makes watching an Ad enjoyable instead of a chore
Love the animation and storytelling ❤
He killed me at the end >:(
But did you get that Fallout reference
Personally, I would consider the following to be the 7 wonders of the world:
1. the Great Pyramid of Giza
2. the Great Wall of China
3. the Panama Canal
4. the Netherlands North Sea Protection Works
5. the International Space Station
6. the Internet
7. Bonus spot, can be switched every year to give attention to other monuments that deserve it. If Nuclear Fusion ever becomes viable, the first reactor that manages it will probably get this spot.
Good thinking with the fusion reactor
Nah fuck it we should make this is a guinness book of records type of situation
First expand the list, add stuff like the ISS, panama canal, some of the giant buddha statues around asia, and haters gonna hate the house of the people, just keep going so the list is as expansive as possible. also in the future once a system is decided including other works of art such as a poem, a piece of violin music, a rap song, so on so forth.
Every 5 years (or however long) the organization comes up with the following lists: Dealer's Choice, Popular will, Charity drive, and Rngesus
Dealer's choice somehow decided by the organization, not sure exactly how this should be decided
Popular will: The organization organizes votes and to the best of possibility (maybe using blockchain) in all the countries that take part, people show up and vote just like they do for everything else, although someone smarter than me needs to figure out a way so that india/china don't just decide everything because they have the population (maybe each country gets X votes and the percentage for each is based on the popular vote?)
Charity drive: One wonder is chosen by the biggest donor towards a prostate cancer research place, one is chosen by the biggest donor towards a breast cancer research place, one is wonder is chosen by the biggest donor towards reversing blindness (those things to change over years), one is chosen by the biggest donor towards child charities, one by the biggest donor towards animal charities (not PETA), one by the biggest donor towards wildlife preservation efforts, and one by the biggest donor towards ocean conservation efforts.
Rngesus: Randomly chosen from the list minus the ones above
And why not let's make another wonder somewhere (I vote Liberland or another tiny nation that's not recognized) and we have the winners turned into plaques or holographic statues or NFTs or whatever would convince those greedy animals to be more human.
That’s stupid
@@Riael We already have something that is not far off: The UNESCO world heritage sites.
I would choose the Suez Canal over the Panama Canal.
Absolutely top notch content‼️
Amazing Video Bro! Since im such an ancient history fan, I just loved this vidso so much. Just a suggestion but you should also consider making a vid about the new world wonders!
Woooow I love your videos
I wish they could show your videos in school 😭❤️
Bro did not just call Turkish Doner Kebab ... Arabic Shawarma 💀
oh! i really liked the art style of the animation, and well other parts of video too, of course. probably the fastest subscription to a channel i’ve ever done (in fact, even before the intro started) lol.
A bit late to the party. It was a nice way of showing the ancient wonders, and skits and ad inserts were entertaining. Keep it up the good work man.
Absolutely stunned by the fact that this whole video is an animation. Phenomenal job to the team, it really elevates the already good content on a new level, really happy to see stuff like this these days, when it's becoming rarer by the day. Really takes me back to the educational documents I used to watch on a tv when I was a kid.
I always thought the Great Pyramid was left off the modern list because it was still on the ancient list. 🙂
13:27 I got an ad while watching this ad. Adception
26:55 SCOPAS

The "official" explanation for the pyramid and its purpose I just cant take seriously anymore. Its so absurd that its funny at this point.

To be honest here in Italy we are pretty aware of the existence of the two lists and we call them “7 wonders of the world” and “7 wonders of the ancient world” so both are recognized
