Hey Colin, this was excellent. I just finished watching it again. I love your presentation. You presented so professionally
@@davstan1965 thanks!
Great job again, Colin! I’ve been to Dublin twice so I know that you nailed all the key aspects!
@@sharktalk2508 is there anything I missed?
Loving the videos! Keep up the great work 😊
Glad you like them!
Only for the past two generations have the Dutch spoken English. Because of subtitles, not the Golden Age.
No such thing as public transportation by water, or even water taxis. Not in Amsterdam. Perhaps in Venice, Italy.
I went to Dublin about 6 years ago, an absolutely wonderful place!
@@Xenado22 thanks! Be sure to stay tuned for a video on Japan tonight!
@TheHistoryPilgrim For real? Japan is my favorite place in the world!
Unfortunately it will cover war crimes Japan committed on par with Nazi Germany, it is important to have a nuanced understanding of history, thinking of posting of video on British atrocities in future, I hope the video will not ruin any positive perception of Japan.
@@TheHistoryPilgrim Oh definitely not, I understand that it wasn't exactly the best place years ago, but in its current state I think it's great

I enjoyed this episode very much, Colin! I remember first reading about Flagler’s Folly (the failed train built to travel through the keys) when we took our first trip down to Key West, and after going to St. Augustine earlier this year, I learned more about how much of an influence he was on the establishment of Florida as a vacation destination. Your video summarizes the history of the state’s major role in our country’s tourism beautifully.

@TheHistoryPilgrim honestly you said a couple things that I didn't know prior. I also thought the way you spoke so steady and clearly made it so easy to listen to and stay interested. Great job!

If anyone is looking for more information about Dutch history, Russell Shorto has written two books on the subject. 1) "Amsterdam: A History of the World's Most Liberal City" and 2) "The Island at the Center of the World" which is a very detailed description of Dutch life in New Amsterdam (New York) in the 1620s through the 1660s.
York is a treasure for many reasons. One is - everything you have listed here. I hope it whet some peoples' appetites because it's just as you said it! Another thing I love about York is that the centre is walk-able from the train station. You are in the thick of it in no time flat. My only caution is to wear good, sturdy walking shoes. Cobblestones are serious business and heels, flip flops and pretty little sandals won't cut it.

Very impressive Colin great job love all the info
Thank you so much!
@@TheHistoryPilgrim I’ll check a few more out for the next couple of days. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow, my friend.
About 50,000 years ago, ancient humans in what is now West Africa apparently procreated with another group of ancient humans that scientists didn't know existed. There aren't any bones or ancient DNA to prove it, but researchers say the evidence is in the genes of modern West Africans. They analyzed genetic material from hundreds of people from Nigeria and Sierra Leone and found signals of what they call "ghost" DNA from an unknown ancestor. Our own species - Homo sapiens - lived alongside other groups that split off from the same genetic family tree at different times. And there's plenty of evidence from other parts of the world that early humans had sex with other hominins, like Neanderthals.
They dispersed after the fall of Kemet. Some went South but the ruling classes went west. They created or were involved in the Mali Empire, the Ghana Empire then most moved south from the desert into modern day West Africa to get away from the Islamic encroachment. The Dogon stayed in the desert. The ruling class bloodlines are the Akan. Hence the reason the founders of Egypt have Akan names. Like Akhunaten (Akenten) Khuffu,(Kuffour/Akufu) Menquare (Amenquare), KaAfre (Afre) Seti (sechi), Tutmose (Tutu Mose/Amose), Tutankhamun,(Tutu Ancoma) Tahaqua (Tarkwa) etc.

No they are not. The people living there are invaders.
That was excellent especially since my brother is going to Ireland in June I will forward it to him he will be interested in this video.Great job!
Proud of our country, our history and our ancestors.
The pharaonic period, the period in which Egypt was ruled by a pharaoh, is dated from the 32nd century BC, when Upper and Lower Egypt were unified, until the country fell under Macedonian rule in 332 BC. Therefore that's when autonomous Egyptian rule came to an end. The last nail in the coffin was ab. 600 AD when Emperor Justinian forbade the practice of what was left of Egyptian religion

@@HannibalSpeaks that sounds interesting! Any more information about the Stanley, I’ve only been to Moab Utah in the us mountain west, I know much more about the British isles haunted history.
You might notice some of the pictures bare a resemblance to the town in Willy wonka and the chocolate factory, which was filmed in Munich in southern Germany. This is because Mel Stuart who directed the movie choose southern Germany namely Bavaria due to its story book like quality.
Great job!

As always a great video keep up the amazing work 😊

New York/East Coast Chinese cuisine is the best. General Tso's Chicken got its start in New York City by Chef Peng.
@@effend446 it’s really a Boston area thing to serve Chicken Fingers with Chinese food, also London has Chinese food which doesn’t contain dishes like general Tsos chicken boneless spear ribs or anything with sweet syrupy sauces.
What a fascinating story Colin! I had never heard of this ship or it's fate. Keep up the good work History Pilgrim :)
Thanks, will do!
Somebody has said, and it makes sense, is that a meal at a chain like Panda Express is nothing but a lunch of sugary dessert.. That food has a lot of sugar.
@@TheWoodStroker Panda express to Chinese cuisine in us is what Olive Garden is to Italian American cuisine which is bottommost rung.
l'm rather interested in how the fortune cookies originated from Chinese restaurants ?
@@rolandalcid7127 David Jung a Chinese immigrant who owned a restaurant the Hong Kong, noodle company in LA in early 1900s is credited for the invention of fortune cookies.
@@TheHistoryPilgrim Thank you so much.

There is scant archaeological evidence to support the claim that the Israelites were enslaved by the Egyptians. This is a biblical fairy tail.
So, you just like to talk. At least you didn't play an obnoxious back ground music.
God himself smited them out of existence. How else could such a powerful empire collapse and degrade into nothing?
All civilizations rise and fall did you know that? Ancient Egypt fell because of colonialism and foreign religions such as present day Christianity and Islam. Oh yes and God isn't real Israeli scholars have shown he is a pagan idol who has a wife named Asherah.
@@Kingofgondor4619 You really want to debate? OK, Religion is the algorithmic code that builds empires. Agree? It’s a certain code people follow that leads to results such as hierarchical order and society. There are certain algorithms that work better than others. Agree so far? No better algorithmic code has worked better than Christianity, right? I mean we’re the most technologically advanced because our code is closest to the truth which we all seek to guide us through this plane of existence that was obviously created. Disagree? Well you can agree that we are literally living in a sand box and everything you perceive around you is a simulation as in there is a certain order of things such as elements and how plants grow that follow an algorithm. If you can agree with this then you would be acknowledging that there has to be something outside of this simulation of energy and atoms. You have to acknowledge that whatever is outside of this has to have created us. There is a creator of this simulation. That would be God. Alah, whatever you like to call him. And I’m Christian because it’s what I believe is closest to the truth. Since it works best. It’s like the fanciest Intel i13 processor
@@Kingofgondor4619 You’re just a hater. One day you’ll see the truth. We are living in a simulation. The creator of this simulation is God. Christianity is like the latest Intel i13 processor, while Islam is like the i7 processor. No other algorithm builds empires better than Christianity. Your secular atheistic algorithm is piggybacking on Christianity to stay afloat. Without it it will plunge into chaos
@@RiggyRonnie Oh calm down Bible thumper I don't hate anybody I have Christian friends we respect each other just because I'm critical doesn't mean I want to destroy anyone's beliefs I'm like Americas founding fathers they were deists they were anti religion but they too believed in a intelligent designer. I'm a man of history, but I have read what scholars have said especially the Jewish ones coming from Israel they showed too many contradictions the story of Moses has too many flaws and historical mistakes. Please don't get upset with me I didn't mean to offend anyone just because I criticize doesn't mean I'm evil you have your opinion I have mine if your upset talk to the scholars not me I have nothing to do with it peace out.
The much more powerful Roman Empire collapsed too!
The Nile flows south to north TO the Mediterranean. Maybe I am hearing it wrong though. Good video!
You are correct. That error marred the video a little bit for me. Also, there's no solid historical evidence supporting the Biblical account of the exodus from Egypt. I take issue with the image of slaves working on pyramids and in fields, as we learned (relatively recently) that Egyptian workers were paid, housed and fed. Also, I don't think it's fair to push the "first Christian Roman Emperor" up to 580 AD; some accounts say Constantine converted on his deathbed.

Good video but please don't mention the story of Moses it can be proven, also it is not historical.
Touched an atheist sensitive nerve did it? Just because it doesn't meet your beliefs doesn't mean it should be removed content. Get over it...
@@marvinheemeyer6660 It doesn't matter what I believe, I believe in history even Israeli scholars don't agree, it doesn't work period. What else should be in the video pseudo history/archaeology? You get over it.
Thought of including it as I remember how heavily the beginning of monotheistic religions began with ancient Egypt when covered in 7th or 8th grade history class, is so important for leading to the destruction of ancient Egyptian culture and religion based around mummies and pyramids.
Who wrote the 10 commandments then? Do you think some ancient scholars smarter than our recent founding fathers came together to discuss what list of rules society benefit most from? And most unbelievable decided to erase their name from the history books and name Moses as the creator of this first law book?
@@RiggyRonnie ten commandments come from the code laws of Hammurabi The Bible is recycled mythology.

I still don't know how the Dutch created capitalism. Actually, I do know, but not because if this vid, it doesn't explain anything. The flatness of the country, the water, etc has got nothing to do with it. 99% was more of a portrait of the Netherlands. It was because of the spice trade and financing the costly journeys to Asia. Leading to the VOC as the first company with shareholders and the first stock exchange. This should have been the focus of this vid.
It was because of Dutch culture of land reclamation which led to canal expansion which led to ability to do this, physical geography has everything to do with why places are or aren’t successful.
The "Dutch East India Company" as it is wrongly named by the English was not relevant economically to the Dutch Golden Age. It was far too small relatively, and since the Dutch Golden Age is from the 1570's to the 1670's it was well past it's half before the East Indies started returning a profit. Dividends were only paid for the first time in 1633. The Dutch merchant fleet basically replaced the Hanseatic League, the English couldn't compete in Europe and shifted their attention to the high risk high reward global trade, the Dutch dominated and expanded the European trade, and went into the global trade to fight Spain and Portugal for their independence. The Dutch learned French and German too, or whatever the language was that helped trade. English became the world language because the USA tipped the scale away from French. Now it is the world's language the Dutch have gotten much better at it than at French.
