There’s an interview with Bill wursts on TH-cam where he explains the work it took to make this video to ensure accuracy took him 11 months. 11 months for a 20 min video. That’s some dedication right there.
@@celeldonn Japan was Columbus's goal. That's not disputed. Japan was thought to be directly west of Spain. "Columbus therefore would have estimated the distance from the Canary Islands west to Japan to be about 9,800 kilometres (5,300 nmi) or 3,700 kilometres (2,000 nmi), depending on which estimate he used for Eurasia's longitudinal span." -Wikipedia
YEAHHH! I did study history in college and showed to my friends that are history teachers. We went crazy with this video with excitiment, 20 minutes was nothing. We finished and watched again.
Something you notice after watching it a few times: the empires and the wars, they might seem really repetitive and monotonous but that's kinda the point: all wars are the same childish battles and conflicts and human history repeats itself endlessly. It's really clever on Bill Wurtz's part.
"... at which time you slaughtered millions in silly arguments over how to divide the resources of your little world. And four hundred years before that, you were murdering each other in quarrels over tribal god images.

Private school as well. I'm pretty sure History is taught the same everywhere, atleast pre-BLM movement. Probably a much more tricky subject, these days, or in the years to come. Although, let's be honest, our history classes teach the very pro-white euro version of things. Leaving off a whollllle lot of who was here before whites arrived, how advanced those peoples actually were, and how much we just straight up stole their worlds, killed them off, and tried to write off their existence. Check out 1491 and 1493, both by Charles Mann. He does an amazing job painting a mental picture of how America was before the arrival of Euros.
All the facts he had there were actually very accurate. Mostly glossed over, but even things that sound like jokes such as Columbus finding Japan and the French making a religion out the revolution is accurate if you look into the deeper histories of each part. Even the initial fast paced thing about "every" is an accurate - although glossed over - version of an explanation of 4 dimensional space time being a function of waves on a set of 4 dimensional force planes. My favourite glossed over part is the quick explanation of the most wealthy man to ever live going on a tour of the known world.
Yep, Mansa Musa, king of Mali may be the richest monarch who ever lived. On his pilgrimage to Mecca he handed out so much gold in Cairo that he single handedly crashed Egypt's economy. That's stupid rich!
"where the hell are we?" Hi, you're on a rock floating in space edit: I’d like to say this is (i think) my most liked comment out of thousands of comments over 10+ years and i’d like to thank you all 😅
When this came out, I picked it apart. Point for point, scientifically and historically speaking, every single thing is correct. I love watching folks reaction to this video and the one he did on Japan. it's fast-paced and well thought out.
@@Nekotaku_TV - Just for my sake. I tend to research things that are generally considered, "Amazing" on face value because I'm kind of cynical. Which also doesn't exactly win me friends to love to forward things to me on Facebook... But I also just enjoy learning new things.
I didn't, but that was mostly because I knew already a lot of the stuff of the vid and as a thumb rule if people are correct about the stuff I am knowledgable about, it is pretty likely that the rest of it is correct, too. But I get it. I am also the type who always after watching a movie based on a "historical event" at least googles to figure out what actually happened.
Some things are interpretations though, like when he directly compares the 7 Years War with WW1, while actually, the 7 Years War was almost nothing in terms of scale even compared to the Napoleonic Wars (and to some degree, compared to the 30 Years War). I know it's because the 7 Years War had varied theaters around the world (like some previous wars too (the War of the Grand Alliance, and the War of the Spanish Succession), and to some degree the Napoleonic Wars too), but it's better to remember this war for what it was, comparing what's comparable. I'm just nitpicking on a detail though, it's a fantastic video.
The "thing inventor" that invents a "thing inventor" references the advent of AI, Artificial Intelligence. Feel like you might have missed that. We already have algorithms that can "program" themselves, and create better iterations of their own version. It's not too far off in the horizon, at any rate. I think Wurtz is making a call back to DNA, and how it replicates and improves itself not from outside direction, but as a response (or adaptation, if you like) to its environment.
and the "Where the hell are we" thing it ends with is referencing space exploration. It's going to explode in the next 100 years, especially with the help of AI.
Everything is correct, factual. Keep in mind that this guy, Bill Wurtz, a year full time only on this project. Obviously some historical events were left out. Obviously some were too much or not well simplified. But I find this an amazing work of accurate history telling mix with a good sense of humor and entertainment. Also, great reaction !
EU countries that do not use the euro as their currency; the countries are Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. 9 countries in total, not just G.B.
@@donkfail1 Thats a misinterpretation of the video. Its referring to the founding of the EU and the signing of the Maastricht treaty, at which time 11 of the 12 signatories and original EU countries agreed to phase out their own currencies in favor of the Euro. All other countries in the EU besides Great Britain that have kept their own money joined the EU at a later date.
Well there are a few things that have changed as we have discovered stuff. like its now believed that earth had water from the start, and alot more of it. and because of no ozone, and the fact that earth was a ball of lava, we ended up with a whole lot less of it than we started with. also the sky is blue because of nitrogen, not oxygen. just some small details here and there. but from 7 years ago it was pretty accurate to our understanding of everything.expect the sky being blue. we knew that then too.
@@Past_10 Well its all theories. how do you know it was asteroids?. I just happen to follow along with astronomy, cause it fascinates me. and thats the current most plausible theory on how the earth and other planets got their water. Planets like mars never developed ozone, or couldnt maintain it, so the water all either froze in the poles, or evaporated away over millions of years. We tho have ozone, which stops alot of the rays that causes the atmosphere to heat up, expalnding, thus losing gas/water vapors. It makes alot more sense than jsut. some rocks feel and somehow had trillions of gallons of water on them.
Knowing that these are teachers, I was legitimately scared when Bill wurtz said "shit" in the video. I had like- highschool flash backs to whenever anyone swore.
There's also a censored version to be shown in school. There's also a history teacher doing an amazing breakdown of this video pausing at the right times to explain the major events changing history itself, like the Ottoman empire conquering Constantinople and especially BANNING EUROPE FROM THE SPICE TRADE.
The “10 step program” thing was about the Jews, not actually about christianity. The Jews followed the old testament, as opposed to the later christianity of the “gentiles” which was centered on the new testament. Hence the ten commandments being their religious rules/guidelines.
@@EriePhantom it is 😂 it also helped make a distinction between Judaism and Christianity in the video since a lot of people who aren’t part of either religion tend to confuse the two
@@ndabenhlendawonde8560 Jews don't believe the Messiah/Christ has come, and are still waiting for his first coming. Christians and Messianic Jews know God has already come to die for our sins as was revealed in the Old Testament, we are waiting for his *second* coming (or rather for the the rapture) Also Jews believe in salvation through good deeds as opposed to by grace, like we do.
What's crazy and we humans sometimes forget is that if this 20+ minute video was chronologically correct, all the stuff with us would have been covered in a fraction of a second at the end.
White Jesus, Moors ruled Iberia subsequently europe, slavery was a bit more complex genocides of various native Americans( all the Americas) we'rent really touched on,
@@mikekristiansen7495 Officially, right? Merchants still accept Euros, no? If you tried to pay in Euros in the US, they'd laugh you out of the restaurant. Now, that's not using Euros.
My history class actually showed us this video instead of doing a normal class. It wasn't fun though, we had to take notes and remember everything this guy said. He speaks *WAY* too fast
I still haven't seen anyone react to the fact that they show the Norse going to North America. Seems no one pays attention to that part except me and its a cool newer history fact.
They did? Because in the video I saw only the colonization of Iceland and Greenland, and I was expecting the reference to the arrival of norsemen to North America
Not everyone feels that way, lol. Some people just process information faster than others. I often watch videos at 1.25-1.5 speed, depending on how fast they're speaking, or how inebriated I am. Either way, my wife asks, "How can you understand what they're saying so fast?" lol, I just shrug.
@@Lost_n_Found_1 my problem is that it starts to sound off. It's not that I can't understand it, but it just... starts to sound weird. Anyways, you might enjoy Eminem lol
@@belgarath6508 My friend, it's no different than speed reading. You can train your brain to do amazing things, you just have to want it. Also, I don't care for rap whatsoever. Metal to the end.
@@Lost_n_Found_1 What are you talking about? Putting a video on higher speed is completely different from speed reading, because it's a whole ass different medium bro... The guy straight up even gave an example of a difference: It sounds different. If you speedread, you don't read it in a different tone or pitch or whatever, it stays the same. If you set a video to faster, it sounds entirely different.
@@skeletonwar4445 The same principle applies, my friend. You know not everyone's brain is silent to them, right? When I read, I hear the voice in my mind. It sounds different, too. Answer me this. Does it suck to be sub-par?
My kids love this. During the Great Stay Home of 2020, I occasionally picked a line from this and had them look into the details of it. Good teaching, imho.
One of the best things about that video is that it's a good jumping off point for further study. By being so fun and fast paced it gets kids interested and hopefully they want to learn more.
This is definitely one of those things that's meant to be watched when you already have a basic understanding of world history, because as they said it comes very fast even when you already know everything. It's not really meant to be educational per se, though you could of course pause and look anything you wanted up. But it does serve as a good reminder of the scale and timeline of world history, and I appreciate that it includes many references to non-Western cultures too, which are often glossed over in Western curriculums.
I agreed on the first watch but I’m actually starting to retain things every time I watch it again. I think it’s meant to be educational if you commit parts of it to memory
Honestly, I think it also works the other way around. If you know nothing about most of the things here, you would see them and go "Oh, I didn't know that" and feel interested in researching them more in depth. Its basically an appetizer to spark interest in exploring history
The relevance of pointing out the breasts on mammals is that mammal mothers can always feed their young. If they have food, their young easily receives nutrition, as opposed to other classes of life. Side note, I've watched this video about 15 times, and can find zero inaccuracies. He's very brief on some things, which he had to be, but everything he said is accurate. I'm guessing the Mrs is not a history teacher lol.
Tbh my favorite part is always "hey can we go on land?" "NO" "why?" "the sun is a deadly lazer" I fully follow the whole thing, and there are many funny parts. But that one. If I quote this video it's that line.
My favourite parts are "Weather update... It's raining..." It just hits me in the feels for some reason, for like, 0.75 seconds. Sounds somehow poetic.
The bible doesn't say how old the earth is a priest added up the ages of everyone in the bible and subtracted it from his current year that's where they got the 10k years or whatever
@ElusiaBoomkin When the ages of those people are multiple centuries, yes. I might as well calculate the age of middle earth, by using the lineage of dwarves.
What about the part that says "a day to God is like 1000 years to man". That plus the 7 days to create everything comes to 7000. I'm pretty sure that's where they're getting that number. I've never heard of this priest math thing.
@@Charsept that's complete made up b******* by nut Job priest. The first five books of the Bible have been completely proven to be nonsense none of it 100% ever happened that's a historical fact. We've known that for over 50 years.
@@CharseptIn middle earth, the first record of conscience, is in the age of the tree. There is an age before that, but it makes it difficult to determine an exact age, based on addition. Let alone the addition of genealogy. The Hebrew word for day (yôm), and ‘morning’, and the days are numbered (first day, second day, etc.). Whenever yôm is used in such a context, it is always an ordinary day, never a long period of time. So please, don't use Elven, or Dwarven, or even Hobbit genealogy to prove points in your Valar timeline.
There is actually a video from a history teacher reacting to this if you're wondering about a fact check. He goes into a lot more depth about certain parts and seems to know his stuff and doesn't call out anything as false so you might wanna watch that in your own time
Small, but fun fact: The oldest dated cave drawing known to man is over 40,000 years old, located in Spain. Typical carbon-dating couldn't be used for it due to its tendency to destroy works of art, which the cave drawing would become "the world's oldest". Modernized tools had to be created for the process (U-Th dating), and it gives an accuracy of ±1%.
@@zumazoomzoom7632 The first of the Giza pyramid complexes was built in the 2500's BC... so they ARE older than 3000 years. They're, in fact, 4500 years old.
@@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935 That's when the first of the necropolis complexes were constructed. So that date includes the construction time. The two larger pyramids were completed about 10 years apart from each other (Kufu and Kafre), while the smaller of the Giza pyramids (Menkaure) was completed roughly 50 years later. Each pyramid took roughly 20 years to build, but just like with any construction project, different parts were completed at different times, and some bits were added or modified later. Overall, the whole thing as we understand it, including stuff like the sphinx, took around one century to build, give or take a few years, and not including later modifications. There are other pyramids that are much older than the ones found in Egypt, but even the oldest of the Egyptian pyramids dates only to the 2600's BC. Pyramid construction (as we understand them) was unique to a roughly 300 year period during the height of Egypt's power, but other cultures built pyramid structures as well, due to the natural strength and stability of the shape.
I was 18 in high school when this came out and for me as someone who is Generation Z, history of the world I guess actually kept my attention and kept me interested and I was able to pick up everything (I just like fast paced things in general also). I think this definitely works for like people around my age or in my generation because our attention spans are a bit shorter maybe, and we need things a bit faster. Or we need our information given to us in a fast paced manner to keep us engaged. It works well for me and others in my peer/age group (21 now).
right? also gen z (20) and if learning was as fun as watching this video then i would have had a much better time in school. the focus of making learning boring and straight forward needs to change, learning can be fun. i know watching bill nye was one of the highlights in science class.
@@Kigamine agreed. We didn't watch Bill nye as I think that was more 90s kids then 2000s /2010s kids like us but clearly some school still used it as you stated and I've see a couple eps on TH-cam and they are very entertaining. We mainly used CrashCourse, Thugnotes, and Kahoot
@@nikibronson133 yeah where i live we used all those aswell (the hype for kahoot lol teachers would say we wont be able to do kahoot if ppl didnt settle down) but we also watched old 90s kids things and ever "danger zone" videos for health class. i got a mix of both worlds.
I've seen this I don't know how many times, and I almost always catch something new. I was proud of you guys for catching the "small print" under Legalism. I'm glad y'all got to this. Others below have stated correctly that this video is impressively accurate and mentioned the amount of time Wurtz spent on it. Thanks for reacting to this one! I loved it!
So about my 4 dozenth time around on this video it dawned on me that the last line “By the way, where the hell are we?” prompts the first line and subsequently the entire video “Hi, you’re on a rock floating in space”, tying it all together. Between that, the humor, the reactions, the length, and the iconicness of the video I’ve declared History of the Entire World I Guess to be the single greatest video on TH-cam, because even after countless watches, I never get tired of it.
@Kate A well i think hamilton is a lot more easy to memorize than thousands of years of world history, not to mention that if anyone has to memorize all of this it's most likely for school rather than for fun i didn't notice the history connection at all, i thought you were getting at the fact that teenagers today memorize things they like, to which i agree
call me crazy, but i would've probably enjoyed school a heck of a lot more if i could sit down and just drink a beer and bs about history with my teachers lol
This video would go down really well in a middle/high school history class. Watch the whole video in class.. Then dissect it accordingly depending on curriculum and subject matter.
Not gonna lie, I literally got switched to a World History class midsemester from an elective with a mentally abusive teacher but a big test was coming up. Watching the original video actually got me a decent grade on that test XD
This is more educating than listening to my teacher talk for two hours with no breaks allowed because of COVID. It closed recently because of increased cases. I like seeing teachers reacting, I like teachers, it is a really hard job. I has a summer job at an infant age section of a playschool and it is hard. They were 1-3. I am Icelandic and that Iceland Greenland one killed me
that may be the case for some ppl who went to schools who had good teachers, but that’s not always the case. someone ppl may understand this thanks to self research or other people outside of their school teaching them
@@Sara-lazy-cat Ah yes, thank you for clarifying. I live in indonesia, and inside a not so good neighborhood. I really like doing self research (Googling) and videos like these helps me alot!
Lei Fabian Hidajat damn I respect that very much. Self research is not an easy thing and many people struggle with it, which is why I think a lot of people underestimate it and forget about it.
He is correct on most of the things that I know of , and I give it to him for making that video as it's a lot in short video . Awesome work to that man 👍
This is accurate. Even the part at the start with the white background if you understand it. If you're a teacher, you should show this to kids, cause it's fast enough that it keeps kids attention =)
True. The Hebrews weren't monotheists until the exile to Babylon, which might have been the return mentioned as there is zero archaeological evidence for the biblical Exodus story.
@@JeshuaSquirrel It's very likely that the monotheistic beliefs that became Judaism was probably a result of their exposure to Zoroastrianism, the earliest known monotheistic religion and state religion of most Persian empires and kingdoms throughout history.
man, this video is great. I really love all the insightful comments you made. I really loved this quote from the teacher at 10:24 like, wow I would of never known that. good content guys, keep it up.
The only Error I can find is that Israel didn't become a state until after WW2 in 1948. (he's sort of right in the fact that jews started coming back under British rule but it wasn't given over yet.)
It´s not an error per se, the League of Nations ( the organism created after WWI and the predecesor of the UN) created the British Mandate for Palestina, which served as a first attempt to give the jews a place for themtoo, to be respected by the rest of the world. Then the UN divided Palestina, and so Israel was born.
Like I said it wasn't given over yet. it was still under British rule. It's sort of like Canada During the war of 1812, there were people there who would later become Canadians, but weren't yet.
@@michadonald well, but the author of the video never speaks of Israel at that point, just "so we can give the jewish people a place to live", which is historically accurate as I mentioned. And the star of David is a symbol long used before that, so its appearence in the video isn´t either wrong.
just would like to say that that "beaver" thing was actually pretty important because at that time many pelt animals in Europe were getting pretty rare due to the over-hunting for pelt clothes so they continued doing that in America to ship it over :) the other thing is: I think bronze is not a metal its an alloy consisting of copper and tin but hey small details like that are fine for me looking at the fact that its in total pretty accurate and A LOT
Ah, that's true. An alloy is a mix of a metal and other stuff (possibly other metals). I don't think a chemist would still call that "a metal" but that's a very fine distinction in that case.
The entirety of earth/human history in 20 minutes, after 4 pints, and he complains it was TOO long? Try reading a book, now that would be an investment of your time...
Recommending my teacher to play this video on the first day of school was the best thing I’ve ever made. It just brought the class together while educating us as well :)
Great reaction! It was funny watching you both getting so caught up in the fast-paced excitement of it all, at the beginning, and then gradually becoming oversaturated with information!
I was watching this while eating lunch and the information in that vid was so overwhelming for my poor brain trying to process everything that my stomach threatened to have a meltdown.
Honestly videos like this just show me that as long as you find a very fun and engaging way to teach something, students are more likely to enjoy said topic and may even look into themselves outside of class. More teachers should really try this, it would make school a lot more enjoyable for not only students but them too.
Bro summarised 13 billion years into 20 minutes, this vídeo never ceases to amaze me, no matter how many times I've watched reacts to it or the video itself
I teach AP World, and I show the "clean" version of this at the beginning of my semester, and again at the end to see how much the kids remember. I know it by heart now. lol The person also did on just on the history of Japan.
You mentioned a fact check at the end of the video, which I highly agree with, especially with all the people actually thinking this is 100% accurate and should "replace history class" xD For example, at 9:26 of the original video, it's not "the real god" that whispers in Mohammed (PBUH)'s ear, it's the angel Gabriel that appears before him and made him recite verses of a specific Surrah from the Quran (and after that the prophet pbuh ran down the mountain back home, in shock of what had happened). It wasn't until a while after that that he started having revelations.
Yeah but it's about History, not religion. Religion stuff doesn't even have to be accurate here. There's also historic mistakes that could be focused on, no one gives a shit which divine fucker told what to whom exactly.
@@skeletonwar4445 It IS about history Mr Edgelord Atheist, if you are talking about what happened and it's 100% inaccurate then it's to be corrected because this is literally historically wrong lol. I love how you don't mind inaccuracy because it's religious history, that's what we call ignorance 🤷♂️
We're really proud of the Bill Wurtz video for all it DID include, and we'd love to see a companion video for US History. (There is a Japanese History video by Wurtz that is very good.) There is new evidence that the Americas were settled by humans 100,000 years earlier than previously believed. The Vikings did find present-day Canada c.1000 AD.
This vid is really creative made; the fact that he talks so fast, makes him get so much info into it that it feels longer than it actually is. ^_^ Would have lasted much longer if he spoke in normal speed, and in fact, playing the vid in that speed makes it easier to see and hear all being said. -Especially the dates/year connecting the events, since they pop up only for fraction of seconds and are easy to miss.
I dunno I felt at 1st the lady (sorry I just came across this channel and don't know their names) was a little offended or surprised by the language but came around in the end and actually enjoyed it. I've watched the original video so many times and think its the best on TH-cam and bill wurtz is amazing, if love to see a long form vid on this by him partly for the history but mainly his humor lol
I learned geography from the original video when it was released, believe it or not. I wish everything was explained this fast it just makes so much sense. Most people's attention span doesn't even cut it when it comes to "traditional" teaching method. Also the Bible goes back 6000 years. Which is contradicted by carbon dating. I'm not religious but I truly believe in religion. In the sense it can make a person better themselves. Even though I'm not religious I can get behind stuff like "love thy neighbor". It just makes sense.
Okay, now fill out the question sheet, research a few parts about this video, and do a four-page essay about what you learned. You have four days to do all of this, good luck.

I didn't, but that was mostly because I knew already a lot of the stuff of the vid and as a thumb rule if people are correct about the stuff I am knowledgable about, it is pretty likely that the rest of it is correct, too. But I get it. I am also the type who always after watching a movie based on a "historical event" at least googles to figure out what actually happened.
Some things are interpretations though, like when he directly compares the 7 Years War with WW1, while actually, the 7 Years War was almost nothing in terms of scale even compared to the Napoleonic Wars (and to some degree, compared to the 30 Years War). I know it's because the 7 Years War had varied theaters around the world (like some previous wars too (the War of the Grand Alliance, and the War of the Spanish Succession), and to some degree the Napoleonic Wars too), but it's better to remember this war for what it was, comparing what's comparable.
I'm just nitpicking on a detail though, it's a fantastic video.
He says that all coutries in the European union uses the same money except for Britain which is incorrect.

The "thing inventor" that invents a "thing inventor" references the advent of AI, Artificial Intelligence. Feel like you might have missed that. We already have algorithms that can "program" themselves, and create better iterations of their own version. It's not too far off in the horizon, at any rate. I think Wurtz is making a call back to DNA, and how it replicates and improves itself not from outside direction, but as a response (or adaptation, if you like) to its environment.
and the "Where the hell are we" thing it ends with is referencing space exploration. It's going to explode in the next 100 years, especially with the help of AI.
@@VeNinjaK "Where the hell are we?" also loops back in the beginning when the first words spoken are "Hi! You're on a rock floating in space."

Everything is correct, factual. Keep in mind that this guy, Bill Wurtz, a year full time only on this project. Obviously some historical events were left out. Obviously some were too much or not well simplified. But I find this an amazing work of accurate history telling mix with a good sense of humor and entertainment. Also, great reaction !
Well, not everything. The video claims that the whole of EU uses the same currency except Britain. Sweden has kept its own currency too.
EU countries that do not use the euro as their currency; the countries are Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
9 countries in total, not just G.B.
There's also a small inaccuracy at 15:50, it should be Louis the 16th, not Louis the 14th
@@donkfail1 Thats a misinterpretation of the video. Its referring to the founding of the EU and the signing of the Maastricht treaty, at which time 11 of the 12 signatories and original EU countries agreed to phase out their own currencies in favor of the Euro. All other countries in the EU besides Great Britain that have kept their own money joined the EU at a later date.
@@kosmokenny Denmark was one of the 12 that was at the founding, we kept our currency, so no.
Nothing was false. Could’ve highlighted or focused more on other stuff sometimes, but I mean there was an overload of information already.
Yup, cramming that much of history in ~23 minutes isn't easy without simplifying things - especially if starting from the beginning of the universe.
Well there are a few things that have changed as we have discovered stuff. like its now believed that earth had water from the start, and alot more of it. and because of no ozone, and the fact that earth was a ball of lava, we ended up with a whole lot less of it than we started with. also the sky is blue because of nitrogen, not oxygen. just some small details here and there. but from 7 years ago it was pretty accurate to our understanding of everything.expect the sky being blue. we knew that then too.
How u know
@@Past_10 Well its all theories. how do you know it was asteroids?. I just happen to follow along with astronomy, cause it fascinates me. and thats the current most plausible theory on how the earth and other planets got their water.
Planets like mars never developed ozone, or couldnt maintain it, so the water all either froze in the poles, or evaporated away over millions of years. We tho have ozone, which stops alot of the rays that causes the atmosphere to heat up, expalnding, thus losing gas/water vapors.
It makes alot more sense than jsut. some rocks feel and somehow had trillions of gallons of water on them.
Yeah there were just a few jokes.
Knowing that these are teachers, I was legitimately scared when Bill wurtz said "shit" in the video. I had like- highschool flash backs to whenever anyone swore.
I could even see the teacher's look of disapproval
There's also a censored version to be shown in school. There's also a history teacher doing an amazing breakdown of this video pausing at the right times to explain the major events changing history itself, like the Ottoman empire conquering Constantinople and especially BANNING EUROPE FROM THE SPICE TRADE.

The “10 step program” thing was about the Jews, not actually about christianity. The Jews followed the old testament, as opposed to the later christianity of the “gentiles” which was centered on the new testament. Hence the ten commandments being their religious rules/guidelines.

My kids love this. During the Great Stay Home of 2020, I occasionally picked a line from this and had them look into the details of it. Good teaching, imho.
One of the best things about that video is that it's a good jumping off point for further study.
By being so fun and fast paced it gets kids interested and hopefully they want to learn more.
This is definitely one of those things that's meant to be watched when you already have a basic understanding of world history, because as they said it comes very fast even when you already know everything. It's not really meant to be educational per se, though you could of course pause and look anything you wanted up. But it does serve as a good reminder of the scale and timeline of world history, and I appreciate that it includes many references to non-Western cultures too, which are often glossed over in Western curriculums.
"you already know everything" 😆
I agreed on the first watch but I’m actually starting to retain things every time I watch it again. I think it’s meant to be educational if you commit parts of it to memory
Honestly, I think it also works the other way around. If you know nothing about most of the things here, you would see them and go "Oh, I didn't know that" and feel interested in researching them more in depth. Its basically an appetizer to spark interest in exploring history

Side note, I've watched this video about 15 times, and can find zero inaccuracies. He's very brief on some things, which he had to be, but everything he said is accurate.

Whenever yôm is used in such a context, it is always an ordinary day, never a long period of time. So please, don't use Elven, or Dwarven, or even Hobbit genealogy to prove points in your Valar timeline.
There is actually a video from a history teacher reacting to this if you're wondering about a fact check. He goes into a lot more depth about certain parts and seems to know his stuff and doesn't call out anything as false so you might wanna watch that in your own time

Small, but fun fact: The oldest dated cave drawing known to man is over 40,000 years old, located in Spain. Typical carbon-dating couldn't be used for it due to its tendency to destroy works of art, which the cave drawing would become "the world's oldest".
Modernized tools had to be created for the process (U-Th dating), and it gives an accuracy of ±1%.

@@Carakav is that just from when they were a finished product, or does that include the time to build?
@@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935 That's when the first of the necropolis complexes were constructed. So that date includes the construction time. The two larger pyramids were completed about 10 years apart from each other (Kufu and Kafre), while the smaller of the Giza pyramids (Menkaure) was completed roughly 50 years later. Each pyramid took roughly 20 years to build, but just like with any construction project, different parts were completed at different times, and some bits were added or modified later.
Overall, the whole thing as we understand it, including stuff like the sphinx, took around one century to build, give or take a few years, and not including later modifications.
There are other pyramids that are much older than the ones found in Egypt, but even the oldest of the Egyptian pyramids dates only to the 2600's BC. Pyramid construction (as we understand them) was unique to a roughly 300 year period during the height of Egypt's power, but other cultures built pyramid structures as well, due to the natural strength and stability of the shape.

The only Error I can find is that Israel didn't become a state until after WW2 in 1948. (he's sort of right in the fact that jews started coming back under British rule but it wasn't given over yet.)
It´s not an error per se, the League of Nations ( the organism created after WWI and the predecesor of the UN) created the British Mandate for Palestina, which served as a first attempt to give the jews a place for themtoo, to be respected by the rest of the world. Then the UN divided Palestina, and so Israel was born.
Like I said it wasn't given over yet. it was still under British rule. It's sort of like Canada During the war of 1812, there were people there who would later become Canadians, but weren't yet.
@@michadonald well, but the author of the video never speaks of Israel at that point, just "so we can give the jewish people a place to live", which is historically accurate as I mentioned. And the star of David is a symbol long used before that, so its appearence in the video isn´t either wrong.
Its like watching my normal thought process in video format.
just would like to say that that "beaver" thing was actually pretty important because at that time many pelt animals in Europe were getting pretty rare due to the over-hunting for pelt clothes so they continued doing that in America to ship it over :)
the other thing is: I think bronze is not a metal its an alloy consisting of copper and tin but hey small details like that are fine for me looking at the fact that its in total pretty accurate and A LOT
I don't know much about metallurgy, but I thought it could be both an alloy and a metal..?
An alloy is a metal.
Ah, that's true. An alloy is a mix of a metal and other stuff (possibly other metals). I don't think a chemist would still call that "a metal" but that's a very fine distinction in that case.

I’d never have though teachers and coaches had a sense of humor. Also,
*”Where the hell are we?”*
“I stopped thinking.” Says the teacher, heheh. It’s ok, I use to teach too, and I feel you.
The history of the world in less that 30 minutes. Pay attention. Thank you coach and teacher.
I think these are the only teachers that are okay with swear words
I dunno I felt at 1st the lady (sorry I just came across this channel and don't know their names) was a little offended or surprised by the language but came around in the end and actually enjoyed it. I've watched the original video so many times and think its the best on TH-cam and bill wurtz is amazing, if love to see a long form vid on this by him partly for the history but mainly his humor lol
I learned geography from the original video when it was released, believe it or not. I wish everything was explained this fast it just makes so much sense. Most people's attention span doesn't even cut it when it comes to "traditional" teaching method.
Also the Bible goes back 6000 years. Which is contradicted by carbon dating. I'm not religious but I truly believe in religion. In the sense it can make a person better themselves. Even though I'm not religious I can get behind stuff like "love thy neighbor". It just makes sense.
they said the video was long, my history teacher does a 3 hour lesson on some guy writing books
My favorite, "Now you can't tell who they are being pillaged by."
I hit a random video and swapped my tab real quick and though this sounded funny, looked at video and went wow, you guys have come far.
Okay, now fill out the question sheet, research a few parts about this video, and do a four-page essay about what you learned. You have four days to do all of this, good luck.
First time on your channel and that TT bike on the back looks sick
17:19 says the guy drinking alcohol at the moment.
LOL you made it all the way to 17:19. NICE!
@@TeacherandCoach2020 Watched it all the way, dude ;)
@Hunter The Based God Dunno. I guess the consume part plays a role in how we classify it.
that school teacher looked totally baffled
Every time I watch this my brain is overwhelmed but it's fun to watch
My great great grandma is a descendant from Alexander the Great. Nice to know someone I'm blood related to conquered the persian empire. Huh.
Cool!
WE SHOULD HAVE NEVER LEFT THE WATER!!!!!!!!!
Imagine being one of their students to watching this
I’m more listening to this video than other lectures I’ve had.
I got my teacher to play this in class once (clean version ofcourse 😂) and she did it, she was my favourite teacher
