1:07 it's going to be a good list if it starts with Kamchatka. For deeper insights into the journey of the 2nd Russian Pacific Squadron and its unfortunate end in the Battle of Tsushima, I recommend Drachinifel.
Speaking of the Julian calendar, you said "such corrections were never needed again". Wrong- the Julian calendar assumed the year was 365 1/4 days long, so a leap day was added every four years. But as you accurately stated, the year is actually about 365.2422 days. That slight .0078 days per year added up over the centuries and after about a millennium and a half the calendar was off by 10 days, leading Pope Gregory to skip 10 days to re-sync the calendar to the seasons, and to introduce the new Gregorian calendar, which had a slight modification in the use of leap days.
he was referring to the point of the fact he was sharing; that about 90 days were added. it is not wrong to say that has not happened again, it would also be fair to suggest that nothing so drastic has been done since.
56:08 Well, its a lot more complicated than that. Norway had some natural recourse exploitation at the time, but nothing massive. The iron ore from Sweden was a more important goal, and it was transported through Norway in the coldest months of the year. The British and the French also had plans to invade Norway and Sweden to cut this vital iron ore shipment. They had planned to do so during the winter war by being "invited" to occupy, but Norway and Sweden said no. The Anglo-French plan (Plan R 4) and other British plans were altered as Finland sued for peace in the winter war, and a more aggressive plan took shape. The allies broke Norwegian neutrality several times in the weeks leading up to the German invasion. The most beneficial situation for Germany would've been if Norwegian, Danish and Swedish neutrality was respected. Then they could've bought the stuff they wanted without spending vast amounts of resources occupying Norway. As a Norwegian I am thankful that the allies won WW2, but I am also aware that the likelihood of a German invasion of Norway would've been very low had it not been for British actions.
1:29 that isn't entirely accurate. The fleet would have been just fine if they could have gone through the Suez Canal. But with the British telling them NO after the Doggerbank incident, they had to go all around Africa. Which added a few thousand extra sea miles to their journey.

I use your Close captioning feature, due to my hearing disability. Is there any way to have someone proof the narrative before you post it?? Any time there is a difficult word, or when the speech becomes fast, your caption just give up.. Please help out your (not so good) listeners understand what you say!!
If he were to make more money that he could then pay someone to do cc it's possible he would, but unless that happens we're stuck with youtube's a.i. generated cc. On this channel it's not too bad for me, but on Megaprojects there are times i can only listen to an episode if i have headphones on.
I can't believe I actually sat back and watched this for 2 hours as opposed to my continued watching of season 2 For All Mankind.... which surprisingly was briefly mentioned by simon whistler in a video I watched a couple weeks ago which led to my curiosity and watching of the show.
Just saying that the oldest continual surviving race on earth currently are the Australian Aboriginals (65,000 years) and they also have documented art dating back to this period - some dates may be contested by 10,000 years but this still makes it pretty close to the Neanderthal
There is a very good possibility that Israel has nukes on loan from the US as part of a defense agreement. It is also widely believed that they have their own nuclear arsenal.

Not really doing much to dispel the stereotype, Ireland… 🤣 I have a feeling that it took a lot fewer cuts to film this entire episode, Simon, then I would normally expect. Enjoy your nap! I honestly don't know if you sleep, so get as much rest as you can. Lol
19:56 or you could do it the way the ancient Egyptians did. They were starting a new era with every new Pharaoh anyway. So why bother adding the leap days? And for all the nerds, who wanted to know better, they created the Sothic Cycle of 1460 (Julian) or 1461 (ancient Egyptian) years after which the dates aligned again.
Wasnt it on the campaign trail that he was shot? If so then technically we could go with the former president who wasnt president yet and just make it a massive mouthful lol
And what is the reference point of CE (which most none English native speakers call Christian Era anyway) and BCE? Ah yes the birth of Jesus Christ. Also we don't have moved past the Gregorian calendar. It is very much in use in the entire world, even in countries that have alternative systems like the Islamic world and China to name just two.
Sorry atheist- while you have “renamed” the terms, we still use the Gregorian calendar. Your inability to accept the contributions of historical religious orders doesn’t negate that this calendar system is still the best one yet created and in use across the entire world. Simply renaming BC to BCE and AD to CE doesn’t actually contribute anything meaningful to the calculations of the calendar to match the solar year.

Gotta love that voice!
1 fact for each channel he plans to host in the future.
I'm not complaining
^ but Simon definitely is haha
Shakespeare invented the name Jessica… idk why but that one gets me for some reason… like really??? Yes….
I was disappointed when Simon left Visualpolitik but with all this content he now provides he made up for it tenfold. This guy is a treasure.
Indigenous Australians were farming eels 6,600 years ago, before the construction of both Stonehenge and the Pyramids.
And now emus rule the nation. 😅
😂 and that was the height of their civilisation.
No the emus now farm the eels
@@dylandwyer2295 emus love colourful mushrooms too
@@marcbeebee6969 Correct. They won the war against the Australian Army. A funny part of Australian history.
In regards to silphium, they think the plant has been rediscovered in Turkey.
There were also 3 Presidents in 1841. Van Buren finished his term in March, William Henry Harrison died in April, and then Tyler became President.
Nice trivia question for pub talk.

That's my thought.
"Do you see torpedo boats?"
The fart joke was a blast from the past
LOL imagine waking up one day and the mountains turned blood red 🤣
I have to say thank you to Simon's better half.
Thanks for sharing your man with all us freaks. Hahaha
Dude falling to his death changed the outcome of that battle lmao

@nicholasjones7774 one correction added 90 days, the other subtracted 10.
The moon landing was indeed remarkable as they had 3 seconds of fuel left!

An index to each topic would be handy!

It's almost as if incompetence has consequences. 😂
@SkunkApe407 it always has, though sometimes, most of the time really, the consequences are not quite as immediate as in that particular case😉.

Go to the videos description, then go to the transcript
As an American learning Korean I really liked the segment about Hangul.
North Korean you say.
There were also three presidents in 1841, when William Henry Harrison died after only a month in office.

Israel has nuclear missiles I thought
There is a very good possibility that Israel has nukes on loan from the US as part of a defense agreement. It is also widely believed that they have their own nuclear arsenal.
That has never been disclosed.
Officially, they have no nukes. Unofficially, they're said to have 400+.
Of course the judes have nukes
And they got from us
Wat a foolish thing to allow
A well placed fart was probably making humans laugh long before we had speech, let alone writing.

We use the Gregorian calendar now which was instituted in 1582.
Where's the timestamps, man!? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
He’s notoriously lazy
Watch the whole video and you won't need them
It’s a two hour video there aren’t going to be timestamps for every topic he spoke about.
last time I was this early, George Bush was about to be eaten by cannibals

Is it just me or is there background noise around 33:00-ish, very subtle.

It would be more accurate to say FORMER president Teddy Roosevelt as he was not a sitting president when shot
Except that it is common and accepted usage to refer to any ex president as president.
@JABoyle3875 true, but in this case somewhat misleading
Wasnt it on the campaign trail that he was shot? If so then technically we could go with the former president who wasnt president yet and just make it a massive mouthful lol
I doubt it.
We've advanced past the gregorian calendar. Sorry theists. BCE and CE
