- When did human civilization begin and what was it like? How did it develop? This story is a very long and detailed one, but in this series we will attempt to tell it, by looking at the major civilizations in world history, starting with Ancient Mesopotamia all the way up until present day. All your favorite kings and empires are in this one, so let's get started!

I can’t explain how much my OCD brain loves how logically and often chronologically you deliver your content. It’s as if a way smarter version of me is out there researching and then delivering the information I need perfectly for dumber me 😅
That description is SPOT ON lol.
WOOOO I’m excited! History was one of my favorite subjects in school so I’m super hyped for this!
It was my least favorite in school and now Dave is helping me to appreciate it
shut up n word hard r
Noooooooo school :(
@@TheInsolence0verseer at least this we can watch whenever we want for free instead of having to pay outrageous tuition and having an overwhelming schedule
Hint - history is more than 5,000 years of Europe.
This guy really knows a lot about science stuff
Intros never lie
Yeah, also remember that this script was written by Peter Wyetzner

The more i learn about history, the more fascinated i become with all the ancient cultures, time periods, people, and events that have shaped our existence. People underestimate just how important learning about history really is.
You know, lately I've been thinking to myself, I'd love a Prof. Dave type series but with history-related hoaxes instead. And you come out with this. Great!
Lol why is your pfp Lee Cronin xD
@@Nxck2440 'cause he looks badass
There are no history hoaxes only stupid people
@@arkle519 true that
Miniminuteman does that sort of content and he’s great.
This is great, gonna be a long one. Thanks to Prof and team!
Ohhhhh baby this is gonna be A GOOD SERIES, Prof Dave.
Also, my regular request for a video debunking the shroud of Turin claims. A lot of apologists point to the presence of organic compounds as proof that the shroud is authentic, and they debunk the STRP findings that show the Shroud was made in the Middle ages. I don't know enough about organic compounds or radiometric dating to know why these apologists are wrong, and I'd love to see a good old-fashioned Prof Dave takedown
Anyway, thanks for this series and ill continue to be a Dave fan, Even if you never get around to debunking the Shroud of Turin. Have a good day my friend.
Oceans dont have wings (put this on a shirt and I'll buy it)
Yes! The shroud of Turin is a good one for him to cover! Though I've seen debunks on it before and it doesn't seem to change the mind of fanatics, but hopefully it will get through to some.
Skeptoid did a nice episode on the Turin Shroud, I believe.
History is my thang.
Specifically
Egyptian, roman, native american, american Colonial history.
You're one smart science man.
I look forward to you covering world history.
I just began learning history from the beginning and now you drop this gem?
Thank you so much. I can’t wait for more.
wait until you get up to 2374BC, that year was a banger
From the beginning? Where precisely did you start?
This is a pretty wild thing to say...
Thank you for what you do dave, please keep on strong.
Hey Dave, great introduction, I have however one minor criticism to share: The use of AI generated images such as the ones at 0:32 and 1:56 (left) is not recommended. without getting into the ethical issue of how AI generation works, there's the issue of inaccuracy, because very, very often, AI generated images can contain rather large mistakes and inaccuracies, and therefore may portray the topics at hand poorly. This is especially problematic for history lessons which may rely on accurate depictions of the past as we know it. Either way, i look forwards to re-discovering this subject, likely one of the most important ones to learn in order to improve our social and political surroundings :)
It's funny how you object to those, but not the (literally ten seconds earlier) clips of someone writing with a feather quill, or a Viking with dreadlocks and tattoos. Some people have a really bias selection about what inaccuracies are acceptable...
I'm of the opinion that even human-created art depicting ancient times is going to be rife with inaccuracies and misrepresentations, what with artistic liberties and the fact that artists may not even know about the finer details of the time period they're depicting. It's just a general idea of what the time looked like, and unless we're discussing a very specific scene, I'm of the opinion that AI generated images are fine here.
Please get in your Time Machine, go back to the ancient world, and take some photos for us so we can know what their architecture looked like. It would be really helpful. Thanks!
Waaa I'm so happy to see him doing history❤❤❤❤
Omg this is perfect timing for World History class this year. Thank you Professor Dave, can't wait for more of them!
Im looking forward to this series!!!
I cannot wait for your show on Eric Weinstein. It's SO about time he is exposed.
WDS much?
@@sarcastaball Weinsteins dribble shi...?
I recently decided to study history AGAIN. Since I wasnt that good at school where they wanted us to memorise every date, event and personality. I want to have at least basic knowledge of our history and if these series continue it would be a huge help. I've started reading some encyclopedias at home but the thing is that it is way easier to memorise when somebody is talking to me. Thank you, Dave. 🤝🙏🏻
This will be an awesome playlist, I'm Looking forward to it!
Great topic to study. The Catalhoyuk city in what is now Turkey predates this from approximately 7500BC to 6400 BC. That’s about 9000 years ago, pre Bronze Age, and it was a very robust city with a large city population.
I'm really looking forward to this series.
This was really cool, would love to hear more on this. Or if you have other sources to recommend. Thanks!!
Can't wait for the next ep!
I was pleasantly surprised to see you expanding your repertoire into history. Anthropology is a science too, so worthy of this channel, but regardless glad you’re touching on this. Education is key with helping the world become less ignorant, which I know is important to you.
AIN'T NO WAY, he's doing world history, we are so back.
Seriously looking forward to this! Archeology and Anthropology are subjects I have become intensely interested in, mostly thanks to Milo Rossi. :)
Heck yeah, World History! I look forward to this. Let me know if you'd like any help or feedback!
I'm so stoked for this!!!! 🎉
Hey, genuine question: How did trading work in the ancient times? Or if it even had some sort of trade back then?
There was trading by sea, in the case of the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, and the Indian Ocean, and by land along trade routes like the Silk Road. Both were dangerous- sailors stuck close to the coast to avoid bad weather, and travelers could be attacked. And until around 700 BCE, there was no coinage, so trades had to be in goods, There was also no way to know in advance what people would want to buy, so trade tended to focus on luxury items that were not too heavy, like spices and dyes. Sometimes people would set up colonies along these routes so they could run regular trades with their homelands. The Athenians imported grain from the Black Sea this way, and the Phoenicians settled as far away as Spain..
@@peterwyetzner5276 Yo, thanks bro.
I am very excited for this series, can't wait for the next part
HISTORY?? OMG IM SO EXCITED
And back to school it is!
I've been waiting such a long time for this series its awswom
I'm also very excited for this series. Thank you very much for what you doing. I can't wait! :)
Prof. never miss!
Looks to be a promising series - can't wait to see the following vids!
This is a nice way to follow on from the bioanthropology playlist where we just got the video on ancient Homo sapiens.
I'm so excited for this one.
We love you Dave ❤️
DUDE I am so ready for this. Thanks to you and Peter!
History is such a fascinating subject. I am so here for this.
Just ckecking if there is already a series. Appears not to be the case. I keep waiting
Oh, I'm looking forward to this!
Hey, that will be a wonderful series of knowledge!
But make it long! We need to hear every detail you have...
Thanks!
Super pumped for this series!!
Looking forward to this series! Thanks Prof.!
I am so excited for this!!!! Love your brand of teaching.
very meaningful. I thought about this question for many years.
I’m excited and hoping to get some education on ancient Africa as well.
Exactly what i had planned to study about! thank you.
YEEEEES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY TO COME 🎉
Love this series already, Dave :)
Professor Dave going into world history? Let's fucking gooooo!
Oh, snap! Dave, thank you! My favorite subject!
Excited for this one
I was hoping you'd do linguistics but i'm still not disappointed
2:20 "harvest" would probably be better than "grow". Fishing was important in many places, after all!
I'm looking forward to this!
wait a minute, you're telling me it wasn't the aliens?!
He never said that.
Nope. Ancient aliens lied to you lol
This is what I live learning about. Consider the Indian/Hindu influence and its reach into Southeast Asia. I go to Angkor wat in Cambodia every year and it’s mind blowing. An ancient Hindu temple thousands of miles from India, there empire must of been massive at its peak. They say it’s 1,100 years old but I get the feeling it may be much older, I’m no expert though.
WHEN IS THE WEINSTEIN VIDEO COIMKING
gotta do my creationism series first, then that one
@@ProfessorDaveExplains based
Which Weinstein?
The dislocation that we have between the ancient world through to the modern world, and our distorted view, that we are more advanced and more intelligent now, is arguably, a contributing factor to the growth of anti intellectualism within society. People seem to think that we are at the peak of human intelligence, an epoch of supremacy, instead of understanding that we are an amalgamation of our species worldwide successes, over millenia. That success hasn't been and isn't defined by borders, language or any other arbitrary condition, instead it is our species ability to adapt and problem solve, cycle after cycle, which maintains our advance. Not acknowledging and understanding how our past, present and future are interlocked is not something desirable; thankfully we have creators who want to address this.
When will be the next video?
great stuff... cant wait for more
Yaay! new series!
His story❤️
That was a short one, but looking forward to more
thank you for this video.
This seems to be an interesting series, but, I am stuck on the question, how did first humans survive from birth till adulthood? And were the first humans born as newborn infants or as adults?
Great timing
0:40 I belong to both groups.
Good to know that you'll cover India, China and Central America too. In the first 80% of the video all pictures illustrated European history.
Looking forward to this series!
You never leave
@@waelfadlallah8939 Nor do you, it seems.
This series is almost too hard to wait for
The Professor returns
WE MAKIN IT OUTTA HIGH SCHOOL WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️
I am very interested to see how you will cover the parts of history involving the Christian Churches.
Or how the Torah was ripped off from older beliefs and how the people that adopted it have influenced empires
@@SOL_Lightbringer the Jews came from a polytheistic pagan culture and brought their Babylonian myths with them which Moses and the other authors co-opted for their religious polemics. Saying "ripped off" is incredibly uncharitable.
@@boatcaptain6288 don’t care, “ripped off” is still an accurate term and highlights how disingenuous and stupid the Torah is.
@@SOL_Lightbringer I'm glad you're not a historian because you'd be a horrific teacher
@@boatcaptain6288 I personally prefer to paint, but my lectures would certainly rouse the audience and reveal many interesting histories that they don’t allow to be taught in public education…
For all fellow history peeps, The History of the Ancient World by Susan Bauer is excellent! :) Please do read this book.
I hope this is going to be a LOT more than 13 videos...like...hundreds
Is this history of the world part 1? Where are the unics?
Thank you. New subscriber.
Awesome!
What about the First Nations People of Australia ?
I was horrible at history, I already know I’m gonna get knowledgeable af from the following vids
Amazing 👏
Hello Dave!
Yesss prof Dave!!!
I have a genuine question about the BCE/CE vs BC/AD change. What is the point of changing the name if we're not going to fundamentally change what it means?
It’s weird to make reference to a particular religious mythology when speaking generally about history.
@@ProfessorDaveExplains that makes sense! I just think we should also make a wide system change to completely separate it
Either way I'm excited for this series

@@ProfessorDaveExplainsdo a history lesson about how the followers of the Torah/OT plagiarized from previous belief systems…
Professor Dave, I have a request. When you do your next debunk vid, use soyjacks. It'll be the funniest shit ever and you already use cartoons that form a similar function. It'll increase your popularity by a significant amount.
How do I get access to the videos?
bro i took ancient world last year. This year im doing ap world
Yes!!!
most importantly they didn't have dirth for the real information!
doesn,t the Persian emprie count as an aincient civilization?
i think they were on par with rome and greece civilizations
Do you mean the Achaemenids, or the Parthians? Both will make an appearance.
Niceeee!
Will you discuss the fact that ancient monuments marked with swastikas have been found all over the world?
Oddly specific.
@@CliffSedge-nu5fv oddly never talked about…
@@SOL_Lightbringer they are not swastikas and are not all over the world their are just many spirals in history
@@Bob-the-1-and-only-blob-fish wrong. They are swas’ and they are found all over the world. Look into it
@@SOL_Lightbringer their not sawstikas they have completely different meanings and the only one I've ever heard of is the one from Hinduism so sorry kid no time traveling nazis or whatever crackpot idea is cooking in your racist cocon
Is it possible for this whole list to be available in Australia please? Only have access to this video.
It will be released on a schedule, you'll get them all.
Yes please. Considering there is a considerable amount of grifting going on surrounding this subject this may spark some great content
Dave it says:12 videos of this list are hidden, fix ?
They will be released on a schedule.
When I was a kid ppl dreamed about a bright future for their children.
Now, the same children have nightmares about paying bills, being socially accepted.
Man you are a g!
Some of us just love history because we're curious about how we got from there to here.
woooooooooooooooooooooow iam excited ya huuuuuuuuuuuu
Hell yea
