fallout tv show video when (also it was nice to see you in other creators videos of philly)
Take your time Nate. Loved this video. I think this might be a banger series bro. Fallout and Skyrim will only last as long as we live. Human history is forever. Peace out homie. ✌️
Welcome back nate, we missed you.
Sea of Thieves gameplay? Based on
EpicNate the historian I like it.
As a complete history nerd, I fully endorse this video and any sequels it may spawn
Same bro
For real
Hell yeah, pre-fallout alt history lore
😂
Is it pre- or post- Skyrim tho?
@@kacperwoch4368 What a silly question...
Fallout is already pre Skyrim
Literally playing Fallout as I listen to this , I checked out when he started saying tobacco mary jane and coke are American , this comment made my day
I would like you to continue these videos!
Some additional things about the Gorilla story: The skins Hano was supposed have brought back were put up on public display and still visible 500 years later until Rome finally destroyed Carthage in 146 BC. Also note that the word Gorilla has its origin in whatever local language was spoken in that part of Africa in 600 BC. The modern population of the area came there somewhere later and so we no longer have any idea of what that original language was. This single word, Gorilla, is all that survives of it and its language family to this day and without the memory of Hano we would have no memory of it at all.
This story is just fiction
Please, please, PLEASE do more of these! I've enjoyed your work on Fallout and Skyrim, but actual historical mysteries like these are even more amazing. I want more!
I actually really liked this!
I love hearing about historical mysteries that aren't alien conspiracies
Homie is branching out! Hell yeah.
Ya, really glad to see it. 😊
My Portuguese grandma told me that the Portuguese fishermen knew about the new world before Columbus
It was African's already in tha so called New World when Columbus got there. This is a FACT
After exhausting all of fallout and elder scrolls lore, he has finally moved on to real life lore. Im all for it
Shame it’s illegal to talk about certain parts of it
It’s still fallout lore
in the US? Like what
@@adamc117 now im curious, what part of history would be illegal to discuss? 😂
At first I was a bit worried about a game lore expert going into real history, especially "mysteries' because of how poorly that stuff is often handled on TH-cam. But I gave it a shot because I know from your game lore videos that you do extensive research for those and would almost always come to reasonable conclusions, even when they weren't the most exciting ones. I'm glad I did because you exceeded my expectations here; not only did you not go for the low-hanging fruit of conspiracy stuff, you actually discussed interesting things I hadn't heard about before in an even-handed manner. You clearly did a lot a lot of research, and much like with your lore videos, you didn't jump to the most spectacular conclusions and instead made well reasoned guesses. Guesses that you made sure to present as guesses and not settled fact, which is hugely important imo. Good work, and keep it up, I'd love to see you make more of these.
I’m curious because I don’t always dabble in historical TH-cam, but who else out there that you know of does good historical in depth and engaging videos like this?
@@commandercjwthoughty2 is one but he makes shorter videos around 20 min long
@@commandercjwI can’t remember any others currently but if I do I’ll let you know
@@commandercjwMegatron is pretty good.
@@commandercjwnot exactly in this same context but if your ever looking for some in depth views of historical battles look into “kings and generals” lots of long form content
Bro is doing pre fallout cannon events now 😭
This!
Canon
I hate zoomers
@@JM-mg4elHalf of us are in their mid-late 20s by now. Relax.
It's occured to me that if Columbus knew that he wasn't sailing to India, then he called the natives he discovered "Indians" for no reason 🤣
Columbus: _"Hey, I want to sail across the ocean to find a bunch of potentially uninhibited land that has no known resources. Will you fund me?"_
Not exactly as good of a pitch as finding a shortcut for Eastern trade.
The Phantom island of Antlia was most certainly just the Azores Islands.
@@AsymmetricalCrimes How do you spell isLAND?
@@AsymmetricalCrimes Nah, the Azores were known since early medieval times already, there's no reason they will be mysterious and lost
@@nevyanplamenov5409 The Azores weren't discovered my mainland Europeans until 1427. Before them, only the Vikings had reached them.
In any case, Columbus had no reason not to identify these lands with Japan.
Hell yeah, real world lore. This guy is gonna become the ultimate lore master
Move over Lyris Titanborn, Nate will be discussing Amazonian warriors from the Eurasian Steppe and giants from Lappland soon.
hey nate guys here, I’m super excited about this video lmao
Ahhhhhhhhhhh😂 yesss ❤i have been waiting for thiiiiiis content
It’s a worn out joke now
Hi nate guys here again awesome video
Guys here definitely agree
Hey guys, Nate here again, I agree with this!
It is worth noting, there were Portuguese maps of some Caribbean islands before the 1490s. Not just a vague notation on older maps, but some decent maps. As mysterious as the Peri Riess map showing Antarctica under the ice sheet.
I cant express how disappointed i am that this channel isnt just an obscure historical comedy channel.
really really like how you talk about all this, its very well researched and your portrayal of each aspects of these theories and oddities is very balanced while staying logical and scientific. so many history mystery videos rely on fringe and conspiracy videos to be interesting without too much actual evidence behind it and you show how it can be done way way better while still being incredibly interesting. huge props
27:41 me and those mummies test positive for the same drugs
Pre-geekers
Loved this video. Please make more of these. Definitely my favorite video of yours. Really cool to see you branching out
38:32 that “river“ sounds like he might’ve been describing is the Gulfstream which is a powerful current that originates in the Gulf of Mexico and travels around Florida and up into the north Atlantic
Knowing that TH-camrs have to expand their content eventually, of all the ways you could have diverted from your usual content I think this is one of the best. I'd listen to hour long videos of this
God damn the Egyptians were getting lit... Smoking blunts and snorting rails in 900 bc
Or maybe they got exposed as being part of a collection in Europe.
Pip pip cheerio cocaine!
En later, hadden ze boter op hun hoofd 😂😂
Phrarohs feinin
@ANDREALEONE95 how'd it get in the organs? Mummies can't swallow or digest.
Not to discredit Columbus, but as a Norwegian, I was taught that Leiv Eiriksson discovered the Americas first. I suppose it is a bit controversial though 😅
Actually the native Americans over 20,000 years ago did
Yeah he was here before Columbus. The vikings made it all the way into modern day Canada. But of course it was the natives that migrated from Asia to the Americas long before any one.
@@RayvenTheNight
The viking settlement there was also slaughtered
We also learned that the Portuguese knew about the Americas first
He technically did though it was a different region and if you consider green land part of the Americans it would of been his father Eric blood axe or the people who lived in that region long before the Inuit or Vikings also Columbus never claimed to of discovered a new land during his life and if Nate is to be believed others Spanish and Portuguese at least saw the land.
The interpteters explained Gorillai as meaning "tribe of hairy women". Somewhat similar, Alexander the Great en route to India encountered a people all covered in hair living in hollows by a lagoon. Their finger nails were so long & sharp they used them to tear apart fish, that they ate raw, & softer kinds of wood. They possessed no metal using large wood spears. They were easily intimidated by Alexander's troops, specifically seeing metal swords the first time & the way light gleamed off the blades. De Orellana also wrote of a river along which his expedition fought off attacks by warriors from local tribes, many were women causing him to write it was a "river of Amazons", after the female warriors of Greek legend. The name stuck.
This video didn't do as well as your others but the production and research is the same, and I absolutely loved it. I would really enjoy a few videos like this a year that dont just focus on bathesda, and I think many others would as well
I hope he makes more of these ones, I loved it
I speak for all of us: We like this content!
Your enjoyment of saying that one spanish name gives me joy.
This was dope, brother Nate. Very interesting indeed. Give us more of this, please.
I saw a video of another TH-camr that said many scholars actually don’t believe it were true gorillas but some sub species or something entirely new
Im really impressed how much attention you give to small details like the correct promounciation of names and places
Dawg, this is possibly the best pivot ive seen in a channel. Keep up the great work nate. 🤙
Re: the mummies, there’s a huge issue with provenance surrounding mummies, particularly those in private collections. There was kind of a mummy craze around the Victorian era, and plenty of fake mummies were produced and sold as genuine. I’m not sure if these mummies have solid provenance or not, but that’s definitely something that would need to be demonstrated before conclusions can be drawn about possible pre-columbian exchange, as if they weren’t clearly obtained from a tomb and tracked meticulously throughout their travels, they easily could’ve been switched with a Victorian corpse.
Please dont let this be a one-off this was amazing
Hey Nate this was an interesting one. Loved that some of the mysteries are some obscure ones and less common ones! I would love to see more of this along with the videogames ones.
This Sooooo needs to be a series
There were several people that found the new land before Columbus. I don't know why he got credit. North America was named after Amerigo Vespucis ( not sure about the spelling of the last name ). Canada has ruins from Vikings that landed there 500 years before Columbus.
Well both americas where names after Amerigo but he got there after Colombus. However the Viking did indeed got there a few centuries before but never managed to settle for long nor warn the rest of the world about their finding
Yes everyone knows about the Vikings. But Columbus was the first European to establish direct continues links with the new world. Don’t try to diminish his achievements by playing some word game 😂
@@daltongalloway I did some looking in to it and my grade school teacher was wrong. Columbus did find it but Amerigo realized it was the new land.
Yes others knew of the Americas before Columbus but he gets credit because his excursions opened the doors to European integration and colonialism. Global trade routes opened and isolated continents were rushed into modernity, connecting the old world wirh the new, on a massive scale, for the first time.
There is some dispute about whether North America was actually named after Amerigo. There's another theory that they were named after a Welsh man called Americ who is known to have arrived in America 40 years before Amerigo did.
As the exact opposite (professional historian who likes skyrim and fallout as a hobby) this video has been a delight and I would love if you would do more like this as a special treat !
I was tentative about watching this but boy am I hooked! The Columbus story was illuminating, the Gorilla story was tantalizing, and it was all in your imitable style. More please!
Yay, this is where we upgrade from Epic Nate to Mythic Nate
Heck yes, I hope you keep doing content like this!!
Columbus was also obsessed with finding the mythical kingdom of Prester John. There's a lot that was probably on his mind.
Columbus, based on Marco Polos tales, believed that Asia was just bigger. He knew the size of the world.
Love it!
The idea of a bunch of ancient explorers visiting a beautiful tropical island just to end up murdering a bunch of gorillas and skinning them is so fcking funny I'm on the floor in tears
Seeing the EU4 maps in the video warm my nerdy-ass heart
I found the story at 20:52 about Lost Amazonian Cities interesting.Thanks for sharing this.
Bro said marijuana was a gateway drug for egyptians what the hell man lol
I didn't know mummies were chill like that
Nate, please do more videos like this, I can't get enough of the way you explain and present stories and mysteries, and now with real history I won't be able to stop watching. Love it.
NATE IS DIVERSIFYING HIS CONTENT 🗣🔥🔥🔥‼️
someone did lines off that mummy and didnt want to admit that
Nate, not gonna lie. I found this to be just as entertaining and informative as your Bethesda content. Wouldn't mind watching more.
Tbh man, maybe the fallout well has dried up, I’d absolutely love to see you over more stuff like this or even maybe other games like the Witcher series or dark souls (even if fromsoft game lore is done to death) or like I said, real world mysteries are the most intriguing!
Man, I could watch a 10 hour video like this and I would not even notice how long it was
Real life lore is becoming my new favourite thing. Oddly enough reading fantasy books drew me to read about the Romans. Which taught me about odd things like inspiration for The Wall.
Delved Into that history about Hadrian's Wall and it's been fascinating. kept going from there. Now I'm learning about Nero 🤸
I’m surprised you didn’t mention Percy Fawcett when talking about lost cities in Amazonia. He was sort of vindicated 100 years later by that LIDAR expedition.
I love the background music. I can't help picturing Fallout NPCs bobbing along to it.
Nate stepping outside his little corner of the internet. I like it! I’d watch more of these!
Ooh, a recommendation for the (hopefully) next entry into this series.
The apparent sudden disappearance of Isla Bermeja in the Gulf of Mexico. It is an interesting topic no one seems to agree on.
Did not expect this drop. I can't believe I missed it too and only watched it now. Awesome Video, I hope to see more because this is amazing.
My boy just dropped a history video man. I love you for this dog
The problem with the Columbus theory is that Columbus never believed he had found a new land mass. Until the day he died, he fervently proclaimed that he had been to India. While others suggested that it was a New World, it wasn't until Amerigo Vespucci that this was proven, which is why the New World got the name "America." So if Columbus thought he might be finding a new land, even if he thought he found Antillia, he probably wouldn't have argued so strongly that he found a route to India.
I love history theories like this! Always think critically, and see how it's all connected. you should do much more
This was awesome, Nate. I'd love to hear more of these from you.
Nate! LOVE THIS!! Fellow history nerd here! Growing up preferred to read history books as well! Would like to see more content like this!
YES PLEASE KEEP DOING THIS i love skyrim and fallout stuff but the real world has so many cool mysteries too that NO ON TALKS ABOUT (like the yonaguni monument, croatoan, the origins of the basque language and possible connections with the ainu language(???), etc)
This video is awesome. Love to see Nate branching out into this content. It really suits him
Nate, you kept Skyrim and Fallout going for so long. Maybe think about doing Baldur’s Gate, it could keep you going for another 10 years 😂
bro nice work honestly. It shows you've spent a lot of time reading. I've watched a lot of "history mysteries" and this is some of the best. Deeper cut stuff I haven't heard much about.
The mummy thing could suggest that a currently unidentified species of plant or plants found somewhere in northern Africa or Asia produced similar chemicals to tobaccos and/or cocaine. Northern Africa and western Asia were once far more lush and wet then they are nowadays, so the idea of plant evolving the same chemical compound via chance or convergent evolution, then going extinct of the past few thousand years due to desertification should at least be considered.
I can't believe it, Christopher Columbus knew about Tamriel and purposefully discovered it!
David Icke claimed this over 20 fucking years ago
I gotta say, this is amazing. World lore hit different
The amazon stuff is fascinating. How cool would it be to find a chichen Itza, or a Tikal size city and temples in the middle of the Amazon. Eldorado kinda confirmed?
I don't know why TH-cam didn't recommend this video to me when I'm subbed and it recommends everything else, but glad I caught it! Hopefully enough viewed this video for you to make another one because this was really good!
I really want you to keep this kind of thing rolling. This is really cool
I really rock with this kinda mysterious content
I need the Lore of every Mythology narrated by Nate!
Love listening to the mysteries of the old world. Keep them coming!
I really liked this. I'll listen to all of your history videos.
Don't even think about making a separate history channel either, you'll pointlessly gut yourself. Just do what you want here.
Any chance that the first Egyptian mummy samples might come from the Bavarians partying too hard near their collection?
I'm a fan of this channel and of history podcasts, this was good! Nate should definitely do some more. My favorite historical mystery: what happened to the Roman legions led by Crassus against the Parthians? Thousands of soldiers were captured and rumored to have wound up in Western China.
I like to imagine that moses got so blasted he gained god like powers
So Columbus was playing 4D chess and we still think "he got lost" to this day.
This is fantastic! I love listening to your voice theorising about stuff
Love the idea of you expanding the brand in between your regular stuff nate!
Keep this up! Really like that you’re branching out.
It took 13 years but we are finally out of skyrim to talk about. I don’t know if I should feel happy or sad
Tobacco being found in Egyptian mummies is so fascinating
I honestly had no idea this video was about real historical events, I just watched because it’s you. 👍 And I didn’t question it afterwards either, I love learning little tidbits about things video games or otherwise. Fun video, Nate! Loved the Italian pronunciations lol
DJ peach cobbler needs a noble peace prize for starting the Spain history TH-cam streak
this was so cool - please make the occasional history video it was super fun to watch
Im absolutely here for this arc
Love this new transition you’ve made Nate, we need more
I hope you make more real world history videos like this! I absolutely loved this
That was really quite interesting, mate. Glad you're not giving up on the games videos, but more of this would be good in the future.
This just proves to me that the venn diagram of ES/Fallout fans and history buffs is a circle. Love it.
"Starting off, Carthaginian gorillas" 🗿
I fully support this type of video and any more you may have planned
27:28 God forbid some Pharoahs enjoy a smoke sesh and a little coke.
THIS WAS INCREDIBLE AND I AM BEGGING FOR MORE REAL HISTORY LORE
