VIDEO INFO:
In this video we delve into the world we live in as seen through the eyes of a historian from 1855. We will see all sorts of views that have aged about as poorly as a view can, from the conquest and colonization of North America to the decimation of Indigenous populations. While the views are abhorrent by todays standards, it gives us a perfect opportunity to see how far we have come, how far we have yet to go, and how to crack a couple jokes along the way.

The book has aged like wine in the sense that it has long since stopped functioning as remotely acceptable grape juice and has become something else entirely remarkable.
Ah yes, the foul taste of vinegar
It aged like wine. To be specific, prison toilet wine made from Gatorade and orange juice and has bred more Clostridium botulinum than yeast.
@@legendswarble2845 more like the foul miasma in a dwarf fortress
More like it aged like Arsenic-tainted wine.
Yes, at first it seemed like a sweet, and ripe fruit; now it seems like something alcoholic, like a racist uncle who only shows up on Christmas, or the occasional football game.

My favorite quote is from the chapter about animals. That's a definition of a horse:
_A horse_
_Everyone can see what a horse is like._
And that's the comprehensive definition.
Another one:
_It's a thing worth admiration in bears' anatomy that every year they grow a new kidney. So as old they are as many kidneys they have, bound together like a bunch of grapes._

Please clear this up for me lol… TIA. 🙏🏽
@LVplumber I'm going to hazard a guess, with current international events in mind, that the original conversation likely had something to do with Isreal, and the"own" comment was to counter a statement about that conflict being rooted in land disputes.

Imagine history making you feel uncomfortable.
There are too many people these days who believe we should just stop teaching history from before 2001 and leave out anything that's objectionable, like slavery, war, genocide, sexism, homophobia, etc. Because they think by pretending it never happened, the next generation won't have a concept of it.

@@monkeydude9192 L
@@monkeydude9192 you completely miss everything he said in that rant
@@Norstad826 I'm responding to what seems to be the basis of his outrage, that European colonialism is an unique process of territorial gain needing an unique resolution. This is important because it makes a clear deliniation of the beneficiaries and the exploited that makes it easy to assign responsibility; of course that still requires simplifying the interim to allow for a still clear deliniation. Actually understanding world history reveals the pointlessness of what he's advocating for. Hardly helps his point that he just states he'll go to another country, apparently any other, as if he'll be happy with how that may or may not be dealing with a history of "stolen land". Slight more respect if he had named a country that actually meets his standards in this regard.
@@monkeydude9192 first off beautifully put👏 I completely understand what you're saying. But the issue he (to my understand now)is taking about is today's standards in America. Not the history on which it was founded. But then again I could have heard it wrong
The sections about the Indians I find to be the most interesting, as a Native person myself, specificly Choctaw (pronounced Chok-Taw). I'm a descendant of the Trail of Tears so hearing Oklahoma, the state I was born and grew up in, be called "Indian Land" Is just an interesting vibe for me
"Eskimo" didn't only refer to the Inuit, and actually isn't a fully outdated term. Many members of groups other than the Inuit (such as the Yupik) prefer it because it prevents them being lumped in with the Inuit - like you unknowingly did here.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why the self-righteousness of progressives is always laughable.
This is a great fact and I wish you many up votes.
Got'eem.
It's so confusing, we hear "oh you shouldn't use X term, it's offensive and outdated" but then other people will be like "actually X term is still perfectly valid and some people prefer it" so it's like, do we use the term and get branded as racists by some people because some other people prefer it? It sucks, I wish this whole language thing was easier. I did already know that certain people prefer to be called Eskimo rather than Inuit, but it's just like... language is so stupid. Like how it used to actually be an insult to call someone "queer" but now you're supposed to call people that?
That’s very interesting I never knew that! Thank you for sharing this with me I will absolutely keep my eyes peeled for that in the future. I always kind of wondered why Inuit replaced it despite still seeming like one blanket term and this shed a lot of light on that.
I own a 1915 book on "Naval warfare" printed in then Astro-Hungaria. It goes trough the complete history of naval warfare, from ancient Rome, trough the Age of sail, to Dreadnoughts. One thing that caught me off guard, was the end, where the author made predictions about the future of naval engagements. He to the letter described the Wolfpack tactics, used 25 years later by Kriegsmarine in WW2.
Sometimes people just guess well.
@@anon9469 That's not a guess it's an educated theory.
Hey I'd like to read that, sounds might interesting, what's the book called if I may ask?
@@anon9469 That's not guessing. That's using the the past to educate the present. Using critical thinking to extrapolate future outcomes from history. That's what educated people tend to do.
I am guessing that the folks in WW2 probably read this book. Mystery solved!
2:15 Since you've gone out to the woodpile, let me tell you this:
My great grandfather was trained as a shipbuilder but sustained a knee injury so turned to building outhouses to make his living, in the 19th century it was a good business to go into. One thing I learned was the placement of the privy was essential, never too close to your well or water source~ that would be bad, but also just always on the far side of the wood pile~ an arm full of wood was considered the pee tax, everyone brought sticks of wood back from the privy, to fail to do so (even by a house guest) was an insult to the home, but doing so kept the house warm.
(Just a historical footnote I thought you'd all enjoy)
From Australia. We really like people who tell it how it is and call people out on their bullshit. Makes perfect sense you have a big audience here. Glad to have recently joined it :)
No matter how uncomfortable these books are, we need to keep them around to remind us of how we have progressed. Learn from the past don't hide it.
We have to say this 🤦🏻♂️ it hurts my mind that was forced to learn to read early and started with philosophy psychology and physiology

My favorite moment so far, "If I do need to convince you of that, get the F*** off my channel!".
"The fine lands of these Indians provoked the cupidity of the whites and after various difficulties, they were all removed to the Indian Territory."
Modern translation: "The natives were so successful, and their land was so prosperous, that the white men got super jealous, forcibly rounded them all up and moved them to the Rez."
If history has taught me anything, the 1500s-1900s were basically a multiplayer nation building game where Europe just blitzed the tech tree, got toxic, and took over almost all of the server.
The book mentioned the 'cupidity' of the settlers dispossessing the indigenous peoples; cupidity means greed or craving for wealth or possessions - so there is a sense that the author perhaps wasn't completely on board with it.
(Another Aussie here)
The way I read it is he has a "They were kind of dicks but oh well what you gonna do."
or the cognitive dissonance mask slipped for ONE second
I can't speak for Australia but there was some level of resistance to the idea of native displacement in America at first. There's a famous letter exchange between George Washington and one of his cabinet during his first term discussing how they can best prevent illegal territorial transgressions of the border American land and Native land: to be clear, they were talking about how to keep _American settlers_ from grabbing Native land in defiance of the US treaties with the tribes.
Unfortunately only about a generation later any remaining interest in coexisting at least relatively peacefully was stomped to bits by Andrew Jackson.
@@manyplural4265I don’t think you know what those words mean. Not trying to be mean but maybe give it a quick google. Cognitive dissonance isn’t a “mask” that doesn’t really make sense.
@@stoneagealienz874 just using an analogy, but admittedly a bad one, i know it doesn't work like that :)
The thought that a hurricane was a newly discovered phenomena at that time is very interesting.
Rather newly described
European and colonial people had been enduring them and recognizing them as something different from ordinary storms for hundreds of years at this point (since the Spanish spent their first years in the Caribbean)
Hurricanes were considered especially upsetting to them because they did not resemble anything which had been described by classical authors who were at the time of early colonization regarded as authoritative sources on the natural world
It is more likely that only at this time had meteorological science been applied to these phenomena which had been less formally recognized for many years
And for the native people they were of course just part of the functions and structures of the universe (even with specific gods relating to them)
they apparently start as dust devils in africa and join in the ocean.
@@felderup A lot of storms do start off as waves off of Africa, but many form from things like cold fronts and low pressure systems. I love sharing info about Tropical Cyclones so forgive me if this is useless to you.
@@jedveilleux1463 Even to this day Hurricanes/Tropical Cyclones rarely impact Europe and when they do they've lost all tropical characteristics and are typically extratropical windstorms.
Things like this are so interesting to me because of things like local folklore and early depictions of tropical cyclones. Just 75 years prior to the publishing of this book the Atlantic saw her deadliest Hurricane slam into the Lesser Antillies with recorded 200 mph gusts of wind, you have to think about how that impacted the ideas about weather in the Americas. This stuff is so crazy looking back on.
Sorry for the novel, I'm planning on studying meteorology when I go to college next August so my brain is essentially fueled by discussions like this.
@@rowansalem5443 i mentioned merely from the point that the storms travel in a way that they never would have experienced, they go the wrong way.
Me as an European: "I don't have enough money to buy the really old books. So, the oldest I have, is only from 1692!"
Americans: "This ist a very, very old book! It's from 1855!"
Americans think 200 years is a long time and Europeans think 200 miles (321.9 km) is a long way.
@@roberth721I'm Swiss, we go one step further (pun intended):
I once had a customer, who needed quite urgently some chemical product. I said, "I can order it for you now, and it will be here tomorrow, early in the morning. Or: You can drive to the next store, they have it in stock right now!"
He looked at me quite puzzled and said: "What?? That store is 20 minutes (ca. 19 km / 11.8 Miles) away!! And that's just one way! I also have to drive the same way back! That's another 20 minutes! No, no! Just order it for me, I will pick it up here tomorrow!"

We found an ancient book for/about boy scouts at a boy scout camp. There was a section about the stalking merit badge. It’s kind of about tracking animals, but also there’s a section where you are required to stalk someone without their knowledge.
People would think that it meant tracking down escaped slaves, but if this is a book about boy scouts badges then it couldn't have been from those times since the Boy Scout Association was founded in 1910. I'm curious, did you ever learn of the purpose of that requirement?
lol "ancient"
@@Ryan.2 Baden-Powell or BP, as he is known, was a famed and very successful British army scout in the Boer wars. He felt that children would benefit from bushcraft and community skills. He founded the Scouts and Guides after the war. while it came from war, the skills were actually used in many independence conflicts, such as Poland and India, as well as the Blitz. Thus the stalking is from a survival perspective. however it could definitely be used wrongly. remember, softly softly catchy monkey!
Yup, that's... Something 😬.
And there are people who still believe that America hasn't completely fuked itself by being America.

Somewhere in the video where the text says that Indian lands were stolen (18:20), the author uses the word "cupidity" to describe the motivation of the whites. I think that's especially interesting. This is an old-fashioned religious word used to describe sinful impulses, namely covetous desire. So the author recognized that the colonizers were not acting with virtuous motives. That's worth thinking about.
I think cupidity might mean greed because in italian greed is called cupidigia
I mean there were people who hated colonization back then it’s not like everyone supported it
Even at the time they knew they were not acting with virtuous intent. They did it anyway.
@@joegallegos9109 I think they're saying "their plentiful land triggered my greed" the same way a rapist would say "her revealing clothes triggered my lust"
The colonizers were especially virtuous. Hence this remarkable nation. Our tendency to socialism and political correctness are all well and good, but do not insult the people that came before, we stand on the shoulders of giants.
It's amazing to see that Americans 200 years ago had views only slightly more modern than average current day russians.
Went and bought a reprint of this book on Amazon. Truly eye-opening to read how the world was viewed not even 200 years ago with your own eyes.
18:20
It's worth noting that cupidity means greed, so actually this is one place where this text fairly accurately describes things, even if it's rather abridged. "The richness of their lands provoked the greed of the whites and they were evicted." It's actually interesting to see the self awareness here, in contrast to the descriptions of basically every other conflict between Europeans and the native peoples.
Agreed - I just left a comment making the same point, and now I see others already said the same thing. I think it would be interesting to look at how older thinkers recognized the sinful motives of white people but did so without condemning the genocide as a whole. I suspect they often viewed it as a fait accompli, completed by divine providence, despite the sins of many persons involved.
Taking someone else's land is one of the oldest injustices, easy to relate to and sympathize with even if you think the other people are inferior.
It's probably because the book was written in the North, and the North and South were only a few years removed from the Civil War. Probably also why the book calls Southerners uneducated and calls them out for stealing land, while they ignore when they did the same thing in King Phillip's War
Yeah, the North has it’s own demons with there Native population. My State, in the North, has recorded the largest mass shooting/killing of civilians (*not yet recognised*) orchestrated with guns.
Also likely to do with the fact that they did appear to have assimilated, the lack of which was a justification for the removal of the native nations. Similar I suppose to how Ethiopia received sympathy from the very nations that colonized Africa.

Extra charming, excellent choice of book to read, great emphasis on maps and wood cuts, and a huge rant in the middle that was the epitome of excellence
Did I use both the adjective and the noun of 'to excel'? It seems that is _exactly_ what I did.
You've earned another subscriber from Australia. This fireside thing is just charming.
Regarding the use of the word "country" to describe Africa, our reaction to it might be an instance of being separated by a common language. When we say country, we almost always mean a political entity. In 1855, "country" usually just meant a contiguous region of land of whatever size. This is similar to how we now say crayfish aren't fish; when we say "fish", the word describes a phylogenetic relationship. If, instead, we mean "fish" to refer to any organism that primarily inhabits the water, crayfish *are* fish. This phenomenon doesn't smooth over all the differences between ancient and modern outlooks, but a failure to pay attention to it will always exaggerate that difference.
To a lesser degree, the same goes for the word "peculiar", which to our ears almost invariably means "strange". In the 19th century, it was just as easily a synonym for "particular" or "unique". I know that still makes the claim inaccurate (since Africa is so ethnically diverse), but it still has a different tone in 21st century English than it does in 19th century English.
Another example is "intercourse"; in the 19th century, the word meant close interaction. It is much funnier to read it in the modern sense, though.
"So then they met the Spanish and damn, they all started boning! Like we're talking some extensive intercourse here!"
I feel like intercourse is still used in this way fairly often

7:56 hunting and war being chief pursuits sound more to me like a British nobleman than an indigenous American
living in an Alaskan village, I can say that "Eskimo" isn't an *outdated* term, but is used more as a generalization for the separate parts of Inupiaq and Inuit communities. Similarly, Indian is used as a generalization for Athabascan, Haidan and the other inland or southeastern communities. Aleuts (from what I remember) is considered separate from both. A great book to read that I read in high school about the relations between Eskimo (more specifically Inupiaq) and Athabascan communities On the Koyukuk. It's really an autobiography but it has several stories relating to this subject. I always love nerding out about my home state lol.

I have a 19th century Stephen Foster song book. The lyrics are frankly shocking. It's why we rarely hear his songs anymore, even though he was the most popular song writer of his time. The most shocking part is that he was abolitionist and considered very progressive...
@@drewharrison6433 what's the name of the song?
@@airplanes_aren.t_real It's a whole book of songs. I haven't looked at it in a couple of years. Just search "Stephan Foster song lyrics".
I think that soon after WWI ended it was already being called "The World War" which is presumably why "World War II" became the dominant name for the second one.
I believe that your dictionary has "The Great War" though just because one term took over doesn't mean the other one was gone yet.

Aussie perspective: The history of America and it's geology, flora, fauna, all that stuff, is WILDLY different to that of Australia and this, combined with the entertaining way you communicate such info, makes your channel very interesting to me.
That's one reason why I find pre history so amazing. Everything is different here due to the isolation Australia has from the rest of the world, but everything is also different for the rest of the world. Its just delightfully interesting!
Bro, legit came to say the same thing 😂
He's a really entertaining presenter and the scripts he writes (if it isn't completely off the cuff?) are fire 🔥
Plus, a lot of Aussie education focuses on world histories since our own country's history is so recent so I don't think these topics are really anything new to us.
@@JackyBoBacky666 In my experience all we have been taught about is history class is the gold rush or federation for every single term of history we had. We had like 4 weeks on European history and that’s it.
And yet colonisation was much the same on both continents - treat the local people as animals who had no right to be there and how dare they fight back as their land was invaded.
By the time they got to Aus the Brits had refined things to the point of legislating that the Aborigines were fauna and therefore did not have the rights of humans to defend their lands or families, to feel, to vote. That only changed in the 1950s.
@@hadgeron9556 in Victoria in the 80s we did ancient civilisations (Sumer, Egypt, Greece) in year 7, year 8 was entirely English (William the conqueror to Elizabeth I), year 9 was Australia from Captain Cook onwards, although taught badly and I don't remember much other than the attitude that it was "terra nullis" and how dare the Aborigines defend themselves, year 10 was Asian history 1/3 of the year on each of India, China, and Japan.
In the last few years my kids have all done medieval history in year 8, but mixed through a more general sociology subject, so far less in depth than any of the histories I learnt.

@@FellsApprentice This is def true. We've gotten to where life is TOO easy. Now the #1 cause of death in the US is due to fckin OVEREATING. How insane is that?
For most of human history most people lived on the edge of barely having enough food to survive, and now we have so much that we kill ourselves by eating too much.
I also think there's a major flaw to the "we've failed as a species" mentality. Humans put themselves on a pedestal, believing that our superior intellect makes us better than everything else on the planet.
In reality, deep down we're no different than many animals. We've invented this idea of morality and we use it to judge each other. I get the reason why, the only way for us to have the advanced, civil society that we do is if we have laws and morals to keep people in check and working together. We're conditioned from childhood to act in a "civil" manner, and while this conditioning makes it to where we have a great deal of control over our primal instincts and impulses, its def not perfect, and we still give in from time to time.
With all of that being said though, there is more death, pain, and suffering that occurs in the animal kingdom on a daily basis than humans create in a decade.

25:01 Hi, Scottish person here to explain! The Clyde would be in reference to the River Clyde in the West of Scotland which passes through Glasgow before eventually flowing into the sea as rivers are wont to do. The Firth of Clyde is the coastal inlet around where the Clyde and the sea meet, "firth" being etymologically related to the word "fjord".
The Antonine Wall was a smaller and lesser known Roman fortification than the larger, older and better preserved Hadrian's Wall in northern England. The Antonine Wall was a construction of stone foundations and turf that stretched from The Firth of Clyde in the west to the Firth of Forth on the opposite coast.
Thanks for taking the time to fill in these details.

And I love how you put emphasis on saying something along the lines of yeah we as individuals didn't cause slavery but we are dealing with the repercussions of those actions. And it's true. The sooner we learn to understand the past and acknowledge it it becomes waaaaaaay easier to talk about and even bond. Many people don't realize this. You also make learning abput my history much more digestible for me. I don't always want to hear hoe my family was hurt in extremely gruesome detail, but your still able to talk about the topic without saying much of that at all and it feels healing to someone who had great grandparents who suffered under american slavery. Thank you! You are a doll!

If you're into this kind of stuff I ogtta recommend cooking books from pre 1920's. At some point the become "housecare" books, and they are fascinating. Gives you a look into not only diet and fads, but also general cultural stuff: how should kids be raised, what should be cleaned (whats important), what men and women do, and so much more. Cooking books are really fascinating from a historians persoective
Max Miller collab? Yes please.
My mom has this collection of cookbooks she loves called the "southern heritage cookbook", and it's got a bit of that too. It explains the why's of cooking, not just the how's, and I think it has the history of some of the dishes too.
Might want to look into Catos Farming Guide too, if you want to go back a thousand years or two.
Omg I LOVE those books! I recently found an eggnog recipe from 1895 and I made it for my husband and he said it was the best eggnog he's ever had. He said it was so good it shouldn't even be considered eggnog it tastes so much better than store bought. He said the store version tastes like it's extremely watered down with hardly any flavor. Highly recommend making some for yourself
This style of 'cookbook' is 1000's of years old, some of the earliest texts from the Middle East, Turkey etc, were all about how to live and what to eat. They were medicinal cookbooks too, its really fascinating. I was really surprised how complex they were too, thank you for my course on Archaeology or I'd never have gotten the assignment that led me to finding out. I think it was a presentation on the use of medicinal plants in ancient history. That was a wild ride of research I tell ya, LOL, and the 2nd presentation where I went way overtime and the lecturer didn't notice cos she was so into it. Still lost the time points tho.
Has this book been scanned and preserved digitally?

In all honesty, this helps me understand older generations a lot better. The distance between this book and when my grandma was in school as a young child is only about a decade longer than when she was in school and when I was in school at that age. For reference, she remembers the day her father came home and told her family the Japanese had attacked Pearl Harbor. Her American history textbooks would have been about the time this book was written. It really makes you consider how much science and history have progressed since even your own parents were born
I have a bunch of engineering textbooks from the 40s-60s that are also interesting reads and a lot less racist. I’ve made two common observations…
1. Much of the books are dedicated to reducing equations into common elements and then including tables evaluating those elements because it was a lot easier to use multiplication with slide rules.
2. You cannot find any materials engineering textbook that doesn’t list asbestos as the absolute wonder material. It’s horrifically fascinating at how often it was used for just everything back in the day.
Something that intrigues me so much is the question of whether we have something like that today, that in 60 years people will look back on and say "what the hell were those morons doing with that material." If we do have something like that today, I feel like it's definitely gonna be plastic. We know it's awful, we know micro plastics negatively effect us, but I have a sick feeling we have no idea to the true extent, and one day it'll be asbestos 2.0
@@tuxtitan780 probably teflon
Asbestos really is great as far as properties go, but we didn't put much thought into safe handling practices back in the day.
You would probably be surprised, I predict plastics, birth control pills, fertilizers, GMO crops and MRNA vaccines.
The long term effects on human hormones and fertility with micro plastics, artificial-hormones and fertilizers will be something to watch. Monocultures in farming has a large potential for calamity should we someday lack the resources to continue developing counters to crop diseases, and lord only knows what the long term effects of MRNA vaccines will be. We have lived with hubris on a perpetual growth model for so long, should our resources diminish at any point in the future, we will be in an incredibly bad place
@@tuxtitan780 PFAS (per-and-polyfluoroalkyl substances). These are "forever chemicals" used in many products, from the water-resistant coating in paper straws and cups to anti-stick coating on cookware to the coatings on pills to make them go down easier and not break down too quickly in the stomach and intestines, as well as makeup [ex. long-lasting lipstick and mascara]; lubricants; electronics; and the fire-resistant coating on most textiles, carpets, and furniture. Because they don't break down easily, are highly mobile, and are so ubiquitous in the environment (and have been for a few decades now), they can be found in the bodies of damned near every person in North America, if not most of the world as well. The world is just waking up to the full extent of the danger that 4700+ different kinds of PFAS pose when building up inside the body, as (based on extensive studies of some of these substances) they tend to have a negative effect on the liver, kidney, and thyroid, as well as the reproductive, developmental, immune, and nervous systems.
The scary part is that we do know the dangers that PFAS pose. But so many chemicals out there have effects that are simply not yet known, either because the substance is so new, or because it's difficult to observe effects over decades in any given population. For example, it's still not clear how safe the "juices" used for e-cigs are (except that we're at least certain they're far less deadly than the chemical cocktail found in actual cigarettes), or how safe many artificial sweeteners really are.
It's only very recently, for instance, that we've come to understand that there isn't actually such a thing as a safe level of lead consumption - but just a few decades ago, lead in paint and gasoline was so common. It wasn't until studies were done that proved exposure to even minute quantities of lead over a long period of time can be deadly, since lead can build up easily in the body, and even small quantities are all the more harmful for children. There's even a theory that the rise in U.S. crime rates in the 1980s and early 1990s was partially attributable to the ubiquity of lead in the environment in the '60s and '70s, and that not long after things like leaded gasoline and lead-infused paint became history (at least, as they did in the U.S. and Canada), crime rates began to go down because gradually, there were a lot fewer kids with lead-damaged brains running around. [Although other factors on the lowering of U.S. crime rates in the 1990s included the effect of Roe v. Wade on lowering birth rates, as well as a new crime bill which emphasized harsher sentences overall, plus a huge increase in incarceration for even minor drug offences, along with the introduction of super-max prisons that could hold this surplus population of inmates].
I think the reason why us Aussies love the channel so much is that despite it being less talked about, the way colonisers treated our indigenous population (and how they're treated now) is incredibly similar to how native americans were/are treated in the usa.

El porteño menos ignorante:
I mentioned once before, and I’ll say it again, I went to a very unusual high school. About half our teachers were retired college professors each holding multiple doctorates. They were friends of our headmaster, who also held several doctorates. One in particular, the one that you remind me of, wrote our current textbook that we were to be taught out of. When he presented himself in the textbook to us, he informed us that the book was full of crap, and totally erroneous. He knows this for a fact because he wrote it. The new textbook that’s going to replace. This one is a colleague of his, and that textbook will be no better than this one that he wrote. Why? Because the textbook being written, the same sources are being used, along with his textbook as a source. This means…. That we were not learning the truth and new knowledge. We were learning dogma, and erroneous so call facts. He went into what would it take to write a factual textbook with evidence and what we call fact, checking. It was 1964-66, since I was born in 1947. I believe he would love the Internet as well as hate it. The ease in communicating with colleagues, I believe he would find delightful.
FYI: this professor was called to help translate the Dead Sea scrolls when they were found, he was an authority on dead languages. He said the greatest regret he had was his temper. As they were translating the scrolls, piecing them together, the real meaning of words at the time the scrolls written was becoming evident. Language is living thing. The meanings of words change over time. Writing helps stabilize words, but we’re still change in common usage. There were common phrases, not on like the ones we use today. Such as “ the whole 9 yards”, in biblical times a common phrase for an awful long time was “ 40 days and 40 nights” it did not mean that it was 40 days and 40 nights. All it meant was a hell of a long time. I digress….. some of the professors did not want the new revelations on the meaning of words to get out because we change the Bible or the Koran or the Torah… he was among those that wanted everyone to know and learn, and have it published for people to read that we’re not there discipline or peers. His temper got the best of him, and he quit and left. He said if he had stayed, he could have influenced, leaving his voice was silenced. As we know, what he felt should happen has happened to some degree. But I still wonder………

@@Ramikin Well, no. Australia has offcially been called Australia since 1824, when the British Admirality formally adopted the name.
As for the indigenous people being listed under "unique wildlife", I doubt it. There's several long standing myths about the early treatment and recognition of our Indigenous people. They were never classified as fauna, and George III expressly ordered that they were to be treated fairly and with respect. British and Aboriginal relations were actually very cordial in Botany Bay until an influenza outbreak about 6 months after settlement caused the Eora to become hostile. There were other settlements along the East coast that were far more friendly with the local population, for a much longer time.

That book was great. I'm Jena band Choctaw, so it's always nice to see some history about them. A lot of people don't realize the Navajo weren't the first or only code talkers. The first were the Choctaw, in WWI.
If your talking about the Americas as a whole, Mesoamerica had written language for thousands of years
@@RaffleRaffle While true, 'code talkers' were Native Americans in service as US-soldiers during the World Wars talking in a code based on their own natice language. These codes were unbreakable to first the Central Powers and later Axis Powers because they had no idea about the structure of the languages the codes were based on.
Each and every of these code talkers had an (presumably white) Sergeant attached, who was tasked with making sure the enemy would not capture the code talker alive. Either keeping them from being captured or, failing that, making sure they were no longer alive.
I do not know whether or not this was ever necessary or whether or not the code talkers were aware of this standing order, but it would not in the least surprise me if the answer to the latter of these was 'no'.
On a tangentially related note, might be interesting to look up Francis Pegahmagabow, the deadliest sniper of WWI

Interesting to see just how hurricane season has changed in the time since this book was released, typically August to October is considered the peak season while hurricane season as a whole lasts from June to November. Meteorological history is so damn fascinating to me.
Frankly that sounds like something to be concerned about
@@fanaticaltechpriest1002 I agree! It's mostly due to climate change and the warming of our oceans providing more time for tropical development, but we've also had more La Nina years recently (warmer waters in the Atlantic Basin, colder in the Pacific) which contributes to that.
