- Salt in the past used to be more valuable than gold, they tell us. Is it possible that they are wrong?

Just because something gets repeated a lot, does not make it true. Sometimes, incredible facts are incredible because they are rubbish. I have lost count of the number of times I have been told that salt was once more valuable than gold. If it was, why didn't they use it to buy gold? Why were the areas with easy access to salt, like coasts, not just festooned in gold?

"did you know that in the olden days Printer ink used to be more valuable than gold?"
But that would actually be true.
Republiken well there is a difference between more valuable than gold and more expensive than gold
Some historians claim that the fall of the Ipadian Civilisation came because the elite grew distance from the poor. But no matter how much wealth they had they couldn't eat printer ink and thus where easy pickings for the revolutionaries to siege them out from their villas.
Republiken the revolutionaries poured printer ink over the elite thus branding them for live because that stuff takes ages to wash off
The era was known as the Printer Terror.
That Skall collab ... didn't think you knew each other
I was shocked. I saw him walk on and had to take a step back.
+illyounotme yeh anyone subbed to one is probs subbed to the other, i know i am
Same here.
+Sherruk I found both of them in the same day while going through video suggestions.
+Iron Dawn Yeah the ancient history/hema youtube channels all seem to know each other.
That low fps on skallagrim
Eso es lo que le da el puntito
Lloyd: PC
Skallagrim: console
It was the audio too lol

Skallagrim, wow that was unexpected lol

The Loveless Bayonetta Lover The pommel inquisition, heretic!
Prepare to be ended rightly.
my mind just blow up becourse i saw Skall and than again bec. somebodey used a monty python joke , i am in the right place here :D
PS sry for the english i´m sill learning it ^^
The Loveless Bayonetta Lover no why ? :D
The Loveless Bayonetta Lover it's my second language . I'm from Germany :)
An Englishman argues with a Swede who lives in Canada without ever meeting him in person.
What a time to be alive.
I thought skall was German
I thought Skallagrim was a German who went to Norway and then to Canada.

Well, now I'm just confused.
Isn't Skall from Norway?
Isn't he Dutch?
Next time someone says to me "You know, in the ancient world, salt was more valuable than gold?" I'll say "Yeah, that's why ancient coins were made of salt."
I believe the fact that the coins would have dissolved in rain or the generally damp climate in Europe makes a valid counterargument
soat7ch If you can afford salt coins, you can afford a waterproof salt coin purse.
So today, paper is the most valuable thing there is.
There's a difference between fiat money (which represents value held elsewhere, commonly gold) and hard money (made from actual value, commonly gold or silver).
There were ancient coins made out of salt. There just aren't any left.
"Salt is more valuable than gold because the Mali Empire traded gold for salt"
Because gold was *money.* That's like saying Walmart discount DVDs are more valuable then the US Dollar because you pay for them with cash
Aren't those dvds more expendive than a dollar?
but where all the gold mines were people couldn't really get salt so it was probably more valuable to them
The Mali empire had both salt and gold mines so no. Gold was still more Valuable. And it was currency.
@@Otto_Von_Beansmarck the mali empire had access to the coast.
@@davidkazira6060 I finally got an explanation for how that worked. The gold mines were in a tropical climate, they were basically impossible to operate without a lot of salt because salt helped the miners retain more water in the heat. Still probably wasn't healthy, but if you're sweating buckets, you need both lots of water and lots of salt. The salt was mostly on the north, the gold was mostly in the south, so the trade developed along those lines and just kept extending.
Anything can become more valuable than gold if you don't have it and need it.
Underrated comment
Funny that people said gold is valuable yet they still value gold based on paper money...which is nothing more than paper...which an accepted worth solely by general consensus.
Used to be paper money was valued in gold actually; but I think they changed it because of the infrastructure you'd need to hold all the gold you need to in order to keep your money valuable; what with credit and banks being dicks and whatnot
pered5 Yes and similar like all paper money in history, it's all heading towards an inevitable crash---but that we could discuss on other youtube video that explain the issue. You might like to read about ancient china, japan, egypt and sumeria where they use grain as medium of payment. Maybe it's not true cash but the government during that era use a concept of yearly stipend where they pay an amount of grain (wheat, barley, rice) to government officials.
Simpler times than our present monetary system that we are plagued with now.
Actually, it's da joos hoo dunnit.
The fact that you'd talk about salt in the ancient world, in great detail, is precisely why I like this channel. :D
Forests, torches, cloaks, more torches, yeah!
Preach
Exactly why I like this channel more as well.
Sure something on weapons and armor is nice once in a while. But there is more to the ancient world than armies rampaging through the land...
Never forget LindyBeige keeps a ray gun for people who interrupt him.
Never forgetti, rest in spaghetti.
What IS more valuable than gold is printer ink.
There are heaps of things more valuable than gold.
+jimpozcaner not by economic standards.
and crack cocaine..
Useful vs valuable
Only in mass, not in volume, and only because gold weighs a shitton and printer ink does not.
Honestly, the salt part is more interesting to me than weapons talks, I've heard enough about swords. Videos on how to set up a medieval economy are where it's at.
Lloyd and Skall in the same video? My wet dreams have come true.
So have my hard ones...
I am astounded at how they produced this video. they appear to be at different frame rates and in different lighting environments. earned my thumbs up as soon as they exchanged the arrow
They were in different environments with different lighting!
Your Salty Dreams ?
I assumed the pale skin was due to Skall's vegetarian diet, but yes they were in different locations when filmed.
Well, now we need an in depth ray gun overview.
A 50's ray gun no less.
Whoa .....That's deep!
Best anime fights
You cant make a pommel out of salt. so yeah gold is better.
Actually if you melt salt it becomes little bit like glass. So you could do it.
Heretic But throwing it would cause it's destruction, therefore you could not recollect the pommel for rescrewing, and further throwing.
Scrolled down the second I saw him to look for comments like this
Altan Şirin gold is as malleable as play dough.
@@poiuytrewq11422 Clearly you've never seen a prince rupert's pommel
In the 16th or 17th century there was a Hungarian nobleman - the exact time and the guy's name escapes me right now - who was told that he can marry a particular lady if he will take her home on a horse-drawn sledge - in summer. He responded with purchasing the entire stock of the salt mines of Máramaros, Transylvania and covered the road with it between the two places. Then he actually took her on a sledge ride. Let's hope she was worth it...
wasn't about marriage...was about empress Maria-Theresia coming to visit the duke of esterhazy at his palace in hungary and he wished to entertain her with a sledge ride in summer
@@humbie1000 Thanks. Details are still hazy. It took the entire annual production of the mines of Máramaros, I remember that.
Then he actually... What? What happened?
Ok he edited it, thanks
Pussy allways been expensive
I laughed a bit to hard when skalgrim showed up
+TheScottishPyro Now I need to clean my monitor from all the saliva I spat out. Thanks, Lindybeige.
I couldn't tell if they were actually in the sape room, skallagrim looked slightly jankier and they never touched the same objects, if you pay attention to the arrows they always 'hand them over' out of shot
+alfred mason-fayle cleary skallagrim on a green screen. notice their lighting areqite different? especially appereant when they are waving swords, it reflect at different angle/spot + brigtness is also different
+alfred mason-fayle and the audio
yer there not in the same room.
+Neko Nomi well yes, obviously he was on a green screen. It actually makes it more impressive in my opinion, think of the timing and the scripting! Really well done.
I REFUSE TO BELIEVE SKALLAGRIM IS THIS SHORT...
...or that he's got this low framerate irl.
I think Lindybeige is actually like 6'4'' or something
Met him a couple of weeks ago, he's much taller than you'd expect.
i think there was a discussion on scholagladiatoria quite a while back just about that.
thing is: both lloyd and matt are over six foot and skall is not; unlike in the drawing the discussion was about.
he's not small, but he is compared to lloyd.
sorry
I was talking about Lloyd, he's a giant of a man. Met him in Newcastle.
Skallagrim is not short, Lindybeige is a giant
The video was very interesting lindy! Do not listen to skalagrim.
Well he's dead now. Good old handy ray-gun.
take the head off the arrow and throw it at him to end him rightly
Would that not be the nock of the arrow you are supposed to twist off, throw and end him rightly with?
anything that you can use to end him rightly
I was waiting for Matt to walk in at the very end
Matt who?
The maker of the TH-cam-site "scholagladiatoria", very similar to Lindybeige and Skallagrim
Okay, thanks. I've actually seen one or two of his videos.
He wasn't really there. That was special effects.
wow, you ser do have a very keen eye. I went back and watched again and only then did i notice the signs of a greenscreen! well done.
Lindybeige is way more interesting to watch than Skallagrim. Talk about salt all you want.
+Erduk I hope no one gets salty
+Erduk Much less stupid over-groomed facial topiary, too.
illyounotme
Honestly, I just don't like Skallagrim. He's one of those "gender is a social construct" people.
+Erduk You don't like anthropologists? Because Anthropology is where the notion that Gender Is A Social Construct originated. You don't like psychologists? Medical doctors? People who dedicate their life to academic studies? Or maybe you just are afraid of anything you weren't taught in third grade.
+illyounotme I do love skalls videos and knowledge, however people can't have opinions on everythign, sometimes facts and data can only be argued by equally as good facts and data, gender is determined by either the X or Y chromosome found in human at birth, sex is what you identify as. Arguement over. Those are the definitions. However I do agree with you, every one can have opinions and just becuse a person disagress with me doesn't mean I dislike or disrespect him. I just think that for some people opinions overtake facts.
So salt was perhaps more important, but not more valuable.
Yep, good ol' Water-Diamond Paradox.
So, you are saying that CS:GO is a goldmine?
Technically a salt mine
Pretty thoughtful comment bro
Y4Y salt mine
No its a salt mineeee
r/wooosh
More useful then gold. Can live without gold. Can't live without salt.
Yeah, I guess it's the difference between "valuable" as in useful and "valuable" as in expensive.
But if it's "valuable" as in "useful" then the claim was true not only in ancient times but also all down history at least until the advent of digital computing (though less so now than a few decades ago).
Or perhaps being used as currency actually made gold more "useful" than salt anyway.
Your computer uses gold in the contacts, think about what you are saying. You can live with out your computer?
I grew up in the 50s and 60s without one, I could do without. I like reading books.
Gold isn't necessary for electrical contacts, it's just much better than many other alternatives.
Lindybeige drinking game:
1. Drink every time he says 'buy and large'
2. Drink every time he asks a rhetorical question or addresses the audience directly
3. Drink when he puts on his condescending stupid person voice and only stop when he does
4. Drink every time he mentions a place he has been
5. Drink every time he says something quintessentially British
Love your videos man :) this one was the best one all month :)
+Harry Upton I got alcohol poisioning
Almost 8 minutes of nonstop drinking. No time to breathe.
+Harry Upton I would but alcohol costs more than platinum.
This game sounds incredibly deadly.
are you trying to kill people?
I am an olde timey alchemiste. I can produce salt simply by speaking to peasants.
fuck you dude do you think you're funny talking about peasants? eat shit.
Wow, a live demonstration. Neat.
Do you have a philosopher's stone?
It was actually making some sense until about halfway.
Then a wild Skallagrim appeared.
Now I'm salty. :(
Bonus points for making Skal shorter than you.
This being said I have no idea how tall he actually is.
Skall is shorter than Lloyd, because Lloyd is seriously tall
I think I remember Lloyd being around 6'3", but Skal appears Scandinavian enough to be something equally monstrous.
but hes a vegetarian so unlikely.
Fair enough.
What has that to do with anything?
Skall is 1.76m and Lloyd is over 1.90m, so he's just taller than most.
Wait, does this mean there was actual scripting involved in a Lindybeige video‽ Preposterous!
Not at my end.
+Lindybeige I wanted to hear about salt some more.
+Anthony Craig are you salty now?
Did you feel assalted?
***** Quiete.
The message is, a sci-fi devistation Ray will defeat any medieval sword

@@negativejam2188 I think he is referring to a rumor that there was a series of sci-fi movies with a main character named Rey.

@@paullyons5225 It's only a rumor.
Do we get a video on mint now?
I second that thought - I'd love to hear how Alexander the Great paid for his invasion in mint leaves :)
And why it's so valuable.
Tyler , did you NOT watch the whole video? 7:40-7:50. I am aware mint is a weedy plant, but that does not stop farmers from growing 100s of acres of it.
@Tyler V I had the same thought - mint is one of the hardiest and more invasive plants, how could it be rare enough to have that much value?
For what it's worth, I did a search and couldn't find any mention of him paying for the Invasion of India with mint leaves. This sounds even less believable than the salt factoid.
@Thicc Alien I rly suspect it was bait for seeing how many were dumb enought to google it.. as I did :D ahaushduashdu
You know in the olden days, timber was more valuable than diamond.
+g00dn4m3 You know in the olden days, rocks were more valuable than microprocessors.
+Joseph Bissett Really ?
+g00dn4m3 I suspect you could be right in a sense. If you imagine all the diamond trading in the world, and all the lumber trading, which one would be sold more? The wood, because it was used for so much, where as diamonds are pretty rocks...they...um...look nice? The fact is wood was more usefull, there was a larger market for it and therefore the total profit would probably of been higher.
On another note, I think the current price of diamond is only so high because of a monopoly on their mining and refining. Not exactly sure of this, but it would seem a tad odd that a formation of one of the most common elements on the planet is so rare.
In conclusion, usefullness > pretty rock.
+g00dn4m3 but nothen vill evar b as vauble as stuffing teh french
The diamond sector is locked in a controlled demand. In reality they're not as valuable and rare as they're made out to be.
you should have pulled out a KATANA !! they can cut through the sun,you know
And, according to Homestuck, through a meteor.
+derfloh93 lol
How would he be able to end him rightly? Didn't think of that did you?
Or a Buster Sword to reduce his "bigger is better" argument to absurdity.
The sun? More like through a neutron star amirite?
I'm so salty
You certainly get around this website, god damn.
How did you even get here ouo
Weenie
how precious
So salt was valuable in the same sense petroleum is valuable now. It might be the "black gold" but diesel is cheaper than bottled water.
Drink tap water (don't drink diesel).
yeah, but you can't injest water. So the salt analogy clearly doesn't work.
not in florida... diesel costs 2.5 x water per gallon, and the water is supplied with a container. "loose" filtered water from a machine is about 1/10 the price of diesel (bring your own jug). in "bottled water", you pay mostly for that convenient packaging, not the commodity itself. compare that same water to liter jugs of "synthetic blend" motor oil... bargain goes to water, lol. compare it to 3 oz cans of lighter fuel, only skews it more towards water as "regalo". 2.50 gallon for diesel, roughly a buck for generic water by the gallon, in either gallon jugs or half liter flats of 24 bottles (which go for about 3 bucks for no name). motor oil is, cheapest variety, roughly 3 bucks a liter (2.50 if you buy 5 liter jugs). take out the taxes, the diesel costs about the same as "decent" water in jugs ("offroad diesel" is about 1.50 a gallon)
Mmm black gold. I fuken love coke a cola too 😝😂
Practical value is the word you're looking for
that was fucking great, nice cameo, but the vids are good no matter what they are about
Yeah. I don't care about half the things he talks about beforehand but I come back because he's both entertaining and educational.
A ray gun? Should've used a pommel and ended him wrongly...
That's going to be Skall's counter. A pommel from the grave will still end your opponent rightly.
It's what happened next, Skall waited in his death til Lindy had uploaded the video until he unscrewed his pommel and ended Lindy rightly.
If lindeybeige pommeled Skally that would have been one of the top 10 most amusing things on youtube. :-) I hope it appears in their next disagreement. :-)
What was their first disagreement?
The pommel would had been overkill.
This guy has the dopest sweaters.
Also, Skallagrim should do more ASMR...
RIP Skallagrim. Damn, I was just getting into that channel.
Wow he's so small.
and bright and low-frame-ratey
+FartMaster69 Nah, Lloyd is 6 foot 3 XD
+FartMaster69
I bet that's how Skall actually is in real life, but we don't see that on his videos because he edits it out... ; D
+FartMaster69 No Loyd is just tall
+FartMaster69 and just a bit transparent
If salt was more valuable than gold we'd all be harvesting League of Legends players.
memmett9 or TH-cam commenters. The comment section is basically a salt mine.
Hey I give a crap about salt.
And farmers give a crap about crap as well.
i love your videos and skall's. This unexpected collaboration is a wonderful gift. Thanks to both of you. Great synchronisation on the acting part by the way (i guess this is thanks to skall, i dont think you would do the whole presentation and then risk to miss the timing)
I'd much rather hear about salt than "half-arrowing". At least one of them exists.
Also, it seems Skal is heavily exaggerating his screen persona- for comic effect?
He's always been a cringelord. This isn't new.
Perhaps the reason is that this was done for comedic purposes?
+Darius P what! That cant be true! LIES AND PIES!
Konrad Eklund Yeah, I just made it up. It's all probably true, especially the laser part.
RIP Skallagrim
whatever - 2016
Yeah, I read it as Skal parodying a subset of the audience as well.
A wild Skalagrim appeared.
I always find your videos so fascinating Lloyd, thank you for making them!
Great stuff guys thanks for the surprise comedy interlude. Nice to see you guys are actually buddies
Is Lindy an English a giant, or Skul a dwarf?
lol lindy is better at editing
+GameSquid And he's actually darn tall, too. I remember him saying something about that in one of his other videos.
Yes
+wesleyfilms Lindy is about 6 foot 3, so I would say the heights are spot on
I believe Lloyd is about 6feet tall (2 meters for the rest of the planet) and Skall is probably 6 to 8 inches shorter than that.
Lindybeige, that either took multiple shoots or you are incredibly talented. (Or finally started scripting) either way great effects, i love your videos and am quite a fan of Skallagrims as well. Don't give up on these "pointless" rants. Simply because something isn't as popular doesn't mean it isn't interesting.
Loved that video. Keep them coming. All your videos are very very interesting. Thanks for them all.
I loved the post production addition of Skallagrim, very convincing! You've earned a new subscriber here!
Your evaluation of salt makes the assumption that the World's entire population lives near a body of salt water, or on a trade route used by those who do. Not true. As you pointed out, salt was way more important than just a seasoning; for those living on or near a subsistence level (away from an ocean), salt had real value and gold was just a pretty rock.
+Siesta Time Yes, but to move anything takes transport. It is as expensive to move a ton of salt as a ton of gold. Almost everyone in the ancient and medieval world of Europe and Britain lived within a few days' journey of the sea. Getting hold of the salt in the first place is a LOT easier than the gold, and gold has to be moved too, and most people lived a long way from a good source of gold.
+Siesta Time It's not like everyone in the medieval world was spread out all across the landscape like we are today. Almost everyone in Europe at the time much preferred to live pretty close to the sea, rather than in the middle of nowhere. People really stuck together then. Gold may only have one purpose (to be valuable) but it does it well, it is valuable and used as currency for a reason, if salt were far more valuable then they would use it as currency rather than gold. Salt is as easy to get as taking a bucket of salt water, leaving it in the sun for a few days, then scooping it up. Mining gold in the medieval world was really hard, gold is already really rare but back then it was even more rare and hard to find because their technology wasn't as good, obviously. Also gold is very dense and heavy, so it really took a lot more effort to move than salt. Remember value isn't determined by usefulness, but by how difficult it is to get.
+Lindybeige only if people would think about it for a moment. How wonderful the world would have been.
+Lindybeige pound for pound, salt has a much bigger volume then gold. Fragile when crystalline, blows away with wind if powder, and easily dissolved by water and contaminated
Lindybeige
I suspect that moving a ton of salt was even more expensive than a ton of gold (volume/mass), but, after moving that ton of gold, what you had was a pretty rock that you could use to buy necessities, like, say, salt. To those without salt and gold, the salt had more worth. Gold's worth is as a medium of exchange - you need to be able to "accumulate wealth" to require an exchange medium. If you kept your exchange in something with an intrinsic worth, say rice, you would lose about 10% per annum to rats and rot; gold is much more storable. Gold was important only to to those who we now call "the 1%" - those who can afford to accumulate wealth; to the 90%+ living pretty much hand to mouth, the caloric value of gold is nil, but we all need salt.
Talk about whatever you want Lindy, screw that guy.
Hey! Skal is awesome just like him :3 It's clear they were joking
Yeah it was a jab at those of us who complain about his non-weapon vids. lol
***** I love his historical videos, he is my second favorite person teaching me history :3 (First was my actual history teacher. Shorts, sandles, and t-shirts, with long blonde hair and a scruffy beard... And yet not the kind of person you're thinking of :3)
"those of us who complain about his non-weapon vids"
There are people like that? The majority of lindy's content, and most of his best content, has notthing to do with any specific weapon.
Apache The way I found him was through a non-weapon vid
!Skallagrim! I love your videos in general, but this is a treat to discover.
I've been watching you for years and I've never got him across this video of yours until just now. Not much gets me to laugh in the morning and this definitely did. You two made my day
what.... the hell is skall doing in this video?
The golden trio. Lindybiege, Skallagrim and... scholar gladiatora. I'm fudging the spelling and the names, but you know
+Merliginary Being disintegrated, it would seem.
well, that is what you get when your greatsword doesnt have an unscrewable pommel
+Merliginary TH-camrs promoting eachother, common practice. Betting Mr. Lloyd here will pop up in a Skallagrim video soon as well, if he hasn't already. Did it work here, not so sure.
+Merliginary yep. should have ended him rightly.
Great video, I loved the interchange with Skallgrim!
I was quite enjoying Lloyd talking about salt actually 😂
I got mesmerized by his ray gun. It seems to have secondary properties! 😅
I actually like it when you cover obscure historical issues like this. It was also fun to see you cap Skal with a phaser.
Skall's sword might be a bit shorter, but at least it has more girth!
Great crossover guys,never expected that kind twist in a LB video!!
Kudos for your freshly minted facts on the (ancient) value of mint. Very refreshing!
I love both your channels! Quite entertaining!
the korean word for salt 소금 so-geum literally means "small gold" ^_^
+squigoo Nice nugget if information!
+squigoo Funny how it kind of sounds like "sodium" too
+squigoo Sounds a lot like sodium... As in sodium chloride o_O
+Lindybeige That darn auto-correct, eh?
+Greyghostvol1 I doubt he even has a smartphone, i is next to o.
I suspect I know where this myth came from - a lot of Slavic cultures have fairly old fairy tales about something like this. The general plot synopsis goes something like: a king had three daughters and told them to give him present to find out which one loves him most. Two older give him some bling, the youngest gives him salt, he is of course angry at the salt princess and exiles her.
Then by one magic or another (I heard of fairy godmothers, the devil, saint Peter, you name it), all the salt in the kingdom turns to gold. Shenanigans ensue as king tries to bypass the curse, but all ultimately fail (imported salt turning to gold at the borders, etc). A king is ultimately humbled and sees the true value of salt, takes back the youngest princess etc etc.
The original point of these fairy tales is, I'd think, that while gold is nice, you can do without it, but you can't do without salt, therefore value the things you can't do without in life more than luxury.
And then someone doesn't use that brain thingy and takes it as a historical fact and people quote him, because giggling at how quaint people were back then is so in style this season...
Fairytales tend to fall over when you apply logic. *All* the salt turns to gold? Including the salt inside the human body? Tricky...
@@grmmmmhpph Fairy tales aren't about realism but about telling a message.
I really liked all the information about salt, thanks Lindybeige! :)
Love it! Skallagrim? Did not know you two had connections. Nice!
Salt vs Spandau?
Oh, wow. I wasn't expecting to see Skall here. Pleasant surprise!
ha ha! Excellent video guys! I was totally caught off guard by the appearance but if skallagrim!
my therapist : "low fps skall is not real, he can't hurt you"
low fps skall : 02:48
Is skall dead?
+Gatis Gavars I think so. I was very thorough.
+Lindybeige You didn't throw a pommel at him, end him rightly. How savage you are.
+Lindybeige xD
+Lindybeige i actually lold
+Lindybeige what brand is that, every time i try to disintegrate someone i end up with dust all over the place.
I'm expecting a video on Skallagrim's Channel with Lindybeige now.
I like how short Skall looks.
I just noticed that this video is from 2 years ago XD
That was the best and most hilarious TH-cam cameo I've seen in a while.
No need to use a ray gun, you could have simply thrown your pommel at him.
the video was actually really interesting up to the point were the other dude showed up.. -.-
"The other dude" is Skallagrim, another great historical weapons and martial arts TH-camr.
Check him out, his vids are interesting and funny at times.
Yeah, i know, so? ;)
I don't care who he was, he made the middle third of the video boring and stupid.
Damn skallagrim to hell i hope the divines deal him Swift justice!
Loved the skallagrim team up, u kive history youtube channels and their community!
I don't know how I found your videos but I'm glad I did. you have a touch of house m.d. a smidgen of crazy professor and a dash of lunitic. and of course brains. keep up the awesome content.
Lindy should have pulled out a katana.
Heh they both would just look at it and throw it away then continue to argument.
Oh man I'd have paid to see that...
RACIST!
He's not a weeb
Thats just unfair. An overkill.
Just to say, I do like the "medieval life" videos that you make. Other people can cover weapons, not many cover the "more boring" stuff, even though I think it's perfectly fascinating as well.
I liked this video, I was worried you would not finish talking about salt for a second, but i was happy to see it to the end.
that's the best collaboration video i have seen in a while
R.I.P. Skall.
He was a big guy.
+George Wittelsbach-Lorraine-Mclarion-Hoopy For you!
Very well made video! :D Cheers to Skallagrim!
when Skallagrim appeared! That was some sick editing. It looks like he is there and you have a debate.
GREAT video!
Brilliant video; I had no idea there was in the middle of this .. *gobsmacked*. But the salt discussion was as spiffy as ever!
it looks like whats his name is at a lower framerate then lloyd
But a better resolution
+Elena PINEDA Do you suppose there is such a thing as "low resolution inferiority complex"? :D
+Headrock Oooooooooooooooh! Burn!
Host privilege lol.
Skallagrim
i really like this detailed medieval life stuff.
i was laughing so hard when wild Skallagrim entered, that i had to watch it again and concentrate on what they were saying .. just awesome videos on both channels
Hahah!!! Wasn’t expecting the skallagrim plug!! Nice!!!
I about choked on my rice noodles when Skallagrim showed up!
Can we go back to the old times when peasants ate lobster and crab because it was like the cheapest meat out there?
When was this?
+A Volney definitely not if you lived in the desert!
AzurasCry If you lived in a dessert you would be eating a lot of cakes...
A Volney Crab and lobster used to be (No accurate timeframe) viewed only as insects, so they were really cheap, and they are really plentiful actually.
But at some point, people discovered how tasty they were and began fishing them to immense amounts and now you have to go through damn near literal hell to catch them
***** This sounds really false. Where and when man?
I bloody love this channel!
I guess I can cross that off the bucket list, seeing you two together. :)
Noooo, Skallagrim! I want to hear more about salt! Salt is really cool! I love learning the historic context of this wonderful mineral!
am I the only one curious of what Lloyd does for a living?
Believe it or not, dance teacher.
I'm waiting for Lindybeige / Tex Murphy crossover
I believe Mr. Lloyd is a very respected accountant.
So basically we have no idea what he does then...
Uh... gentleman?
I know this is an old video, but thanks for doing a vid on the economics etc of salt. I've enjoyed immensly.
Hi I'm here too and agree.
That bit with the arrow passing between you made me take a double take and rewind to see where you actually pulled off the effect 😂
