There are 7 things you brought to my attention that I never knew about Munich! Thank you, Colin
Were there already 3 things you did know then?
I did know Willy Wonka was filmed in Munich, it’s a beer haven and the Glockenspiel
Your Content is good but you didn't get proper audience views and subscribe because of your lack of proper SEO
Another great job, Colin!
@@sharktalk2508 thanks! Be sure to stay tuned for more videos!
The Star Wars movie tie in games were very good
How dare you blasphemy Kong 2005. Was the best damn movie game tie-in criminally underrated.😂😂😂
Bro is critiquing Spider-Man 1 video game while mixing in images from the Spider-Man 2 video game. This video sounds like it was written by ChatGPT.
I'm sorry, but Spiderman in PS2 was a huge step over Spiderman in PS1, which was the best superhero game at the time
I have never in my in my life heard a single bad word about King Kong 2005 game untill now. Story was literaly revriten by Peter Jackson from movie to video game format and it´s gameplay (As Jack at least) is one of the most adictive gamaplay loops I have my honer to experienct, it is the best movie tiin game of all time and it for sure dose not deserve such slande it got in this video
Agreed there is a reason that game is usually left out of the movie tie in games. It had its issues but it sure was no ,”Aliens in the attic” or “Thor”
dude king kong was actually great. peter jackson was involved in some way. it holds up alright. i like the ps2 version better than 360, the lighting effects are kinda weird on 360
Hey, I love the knowledge you portray here you are spot on keep making these videos. I love them. Hope things are going well for you this week.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
They should engineer cars to make more CO2 to improve plant growth to make more oxygen and food.
Its funny seeing thor mentioned cos my dads a massive fan of Thor and he bought the game yrs ago on xbox 360 and he didnt finish it i think but he said he enjoyed the game🤣
Never heard this story before, Colin. Thanks for bringing this story to our attention. Very interesting
Could have been easily prevented. At least some good came out of this tragedy (fire code reforms; medical treatment innovations). Great job, Colin!
@@sharktalk2508 thanks! Another nightclub fire in 2003 occuredat a nightclub the station nightclub in Rhode Island, was eerily similar to this disaster, recommend looking it up.
@ Thanks, Colin! that tragedy I’m very well aware of. Another one that was totally preventable
Another great video, Colin! Never knew Ireland has over 20,000 castles.
@@sharktalk2508 thanks! You’ll just see them on side of highway, most and pretty unimpressive and just sitting in middle of farmland, it’s pretty weird when you first see them though.
@ I saw a lot the 2 times I was there but I never thought even close to 20,000!
Hi Collins. You have a new subscriber. Excellent video.
Welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
@TheHistoryPilgrim BTW, this is Jay.
Funny thing, I grew up with instant ramen, but it took me til I was almost 20 to figure out that it was a Japanese thing. I mean, how could I make the connection when my parents always said it like "Raymond noodles"
Great video I forgot this took place in Boston hard to believe so many lives were lost
@@JohnWoods-od1bc as a firefighter I would imagine you know all about this situation.
Great job! I walk past the sight often. You would never know such a terrible disaster took place there now.
This will be useful for when I visit Japan next year! Great stuff Colin! 😊
@@AquaTwist_ thanks!
I’m surprised this event isn’t more well known. A trillion dollars (adjusted for inflation) is a staggering amount of damage. If you add up how much each of the participants of the first world war spent, it totals $3.8 trillion dollars (adjusted for inflation). I’m not sure if this explosion is part of that total or calculated separately, but either way, that’s a quarter of the cost the entire war.
Loving the videos!
Thanks so much! Posting two more tonight
People should do there family history and find out how far their surnames go back
@@deirdremacmahon7402 very interesting I found a town in Ireland with my surname in name, think so many people left Ireland for US in 1800s, that they ended up bringing their names with them.
Was working on this video right before thanksgiving.
This video made me hungry 😅
Try to skip Amsterdam (with it's cannabis smells), for a change. Visit Delft, beautiful, easy to walk all the sites and a lot more tourist-friendly.
@@jokiep65 thanks!
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?
@ nothing I can think of, Colin.
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
@@Xenado22 just posted Japan short be sure to check out!
no, they were they Spaniards whom created it.
@@philippe-I Dutch created idea of stock market, and shift towards free market which would influence US.
@@TheHistoryPilgrim No, actually. 19 Jews, half of them from Portugal, did that. Some of them lived in Holland, but none of them were genetically or culturally Dutch.
Another great video, Colin! Keep it up
I would love to go there and mountain bike and horseback.another great video!
@@JohnWoods-od1bc thanks!
I love Moab!
@@Xenado22 thanks! Be sure to stay tuned for my video on ouray Colorado!
Love this video. Great job Colin!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Colin! Wow! This is incredible! This may be my favorite video! Great job and great info! Very Informative
@@diamondgirljules thanks!
*chatgpt and advanced AI is the next step* 👌
You’ve made want to go to Inishmore very badly!! Thanks, Colin! Keep up the great work
@@sharktalk2508 thanks! About to post a video on somewhere amazing in Germany be sure to stay tuned in next hour!
Great Video! (AquaTwist sent me🎉)
@@Xenado22 thanks! Be sure to subscribe!
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.
@@DoreenBrannigan thanks so much!
Atlanta Intl Airport is the Best after Rochester Airport ❤. I love the ease of transfer to other flights from Heart Field Jackson Int'l 👍
@@shahidarshad7397 thanks for the information! Where do you fly to that requires connecting through Atlanta?
Colin. So proud of you and your channel. I found your information very interesting. You taught me some new things today. Thank you!
@@susannemarie8213 thanks! What did you find most interesting?
@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!
@ thanks!
@@TheHistoryPilgrim you're welcome. Keep up the good work!
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.
@@cijmo thanks for the information! Be sure to subscribe, be sure to check out my video on London and the blitz, it is on my channel.
The Dutch East India Company is known as: Blackrock Van guard, World Bank & world governments today
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.
