I'm definitely falling asleep to this 700 times

[@JustAnAverageWoman69]

It's nice that such an in-depth documentary is available to us for free.

[@thearcheologist3313]

So I’m not the only one who falls asleep to history documentaries? Woohoo!!!

[@JakeTrimble-bx3lx]

I love history and I love getting good sleep. This channel’s videos have been my lullabies recently.

[@cctreadway8962]

I love that they have people from each area talking about their own culture. It brings such a rich tapestry of life from which to learn and understand. Also this show includes way more than just the Americas. We are a fascinating species.

I wish I had some kind of time machine so that I could observe ancient people.

If it’s one thing I love about the internet is the instant access to FREE In depth information about anything .

[@just42day]

I’m always in awe learning about our ancient past and histories❤

For myself this documentary is a most worthwhile 3 hours anyone with interest in indigenous humanities could spend expanding their minds, knowledge & cultural horizons on TH-cam. An absolute visual masterpiece depicting the amazing variety of life ways in the Americas, with such descriptive dialogue and spirituality so eloquently delivered by descendants of pre -contact peoples showing the connectivity that existed early on throughout both our hemispheres. Giving long overdue credit & acknowledgment for the countless contributions the indigenous peoples have retained & given humankind gives me much hope and inspiration. Keep up the fine work in creating such great documentaries to help educate people & especially our children.

Exploring the medieval history of the Americas offers viewers a unique cultural enrichment opportunity. Understanding the origins and achievements of indigenous societies can foster greater respect and recognition of their descendants who are still an integral part of the American fabric today.

Hands down one of the best documentaries I have seen. It is an absolute treat to see the effort that went into this.

[@dmonvisigoth1651]

This video is amazing. An absolute wealth of information and the dramatisations are quite immersive and cinematic, indeed. A great resource for an historical timeline I've been obsessively creating since last year.

This was soooo good!! It took me a few days to watch it completely but i learned a few new things! I am caribbean, and i really wish i could find more documentaries of our natives before that man found our islands. esp from countries outside of pr and dr because there were many natives spread out and were other islands as well. In my parents country we have a statue of anacaona in one of the cities.

[@user-ss9hp6rr1z]

The narrators voice is so soothing. It’s like I’m listening to a bedtime story.

[@ZeginMakesMusic]

I fell asleep listening to this, and now i can speak the native language perfectly.

[@BraydenNicholson-re8xq]

Such a great video! It was not only visually appealing but also very insightful. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@LakeGael]

I could listen to native people tell their stories and legends all day, they're so interesting.

[@humbertosequeira1536]

Excellent! Very valuable history to preserve. I am sad that many native americans are living so bad today but a little of their ancient culture lives in those who watch these videos and study their history.

[@user-ts9nk9bi3u]

Beautiful Videos such as this should be mandates in every schools curriculum!
