amazing, I love this, you did a grandios job!!! So many images if the unknown civilization of Sardinia. In the late 1990 I felt in LOVE with one Sardinio:-) awesome people fine character and charisma... The ruins are phantastic and I remember one German ruine in Münzenberg, there are towers like these, in another way built of course - they are called Tintenfass, a little tiny barrel of ink. I am convinced that Sardinia is real big mega hotspot for afficionates of the long forgotten or even never people of around the Age of Bronze. Thank you so much!!! greetings Crissy
This is pretty cool, but the AI voice and incessant, unchanging music... I can't take 21 minutes of it. I recommend getting an actual human to do the speaking (You can find lots of voice actors) and having the music quieter, slightly slower most of the time, and different in each chapter.
Hi Linda, Thanks so much for the feedback. This is very useful. I will try to do more about the sound. However, the voiceover is not something that I would change. The reason is that I did used a voiceover artist for more than half of the videos on the channel and one day he decided to give up on doing this without letting me know. It was an unpleasant experience and I wouldn’t want to experience it again.
@culturepassport I don't like ai voices either, but you will get away with it if the quality of the information is high. It seems so, so far. Good luck.
Thanks a lot! I’m trying my best to compensate with good quality, researched info as well. I’m not very happy with the AI voice either, but is a compromise that I have to make now. Hopefully I’ll be able to improve this too in the future.
At 11:55 You state that the method in which they casted the bronze figurines is a "now lost method." I believe you are referring to the "Lost-Wax Casting" method. The method isn't lost at all. It's quite well known and still used today. Here's a basic step by step instructions on "Lost-Wax Casting" to enlighten you on the etymology of the term. The first step is to create a sculpture out of wax. Next, you cover the wax with a fireproof material such as clay to create a mold. Afterwards, you heat the fireproof mold and pour out the wax. ===>The fact that you lose the wax that you initially created the sculpture out of is the derivation of "Lost-Wax Casting."
Hi, thanks for breaking it down like that, and apologies for making it sound misleading. That wasn't the intention. I had no idea that Lost-Wax Casting is actually a technique itself and not truly a "lost" one. I really appreciate you clarifying this.
Nuragic is not related to Romance langauges or any Indo-European languages. It is an agglutinative language and probably related to Etruscan, Basque, Rhaetic and Minoan langauges.
I'm persuaded that the name Sardinia is Vasconic and shares etymology with "sardine" ("sardina" in Basque and other languages), "sarda" (school of fish, also pitchfork), "sare" (net) and ultimately "sartu" (to enter, to penetrate, to get in), whose root segment is sar-. Other cognates (ultimately also Vasconic) in Catalonia are surely "Cerdanya" (a name almost identical to Sardinia in pronunciation but referring to an enclosed valley in the Pyrenees) and "sardana", a popular Catalan dance, which involves everyone (originally the whole community) joining for dance in concentric circles, maybe reminiscent of schools of fish or getting those inside a net or just "sar dana", i.e. "everybody get in" in Basque. Note: On Vasconic language in pre-Roman Sardinia vide Juan Martin Elexpuru's "Euskararen Aztarnak Sardinian?" ("Basque language's trail in Sardinia?") and its Spanish language excerpt available online, and also Roslyn Frank's extensive antrhopological work on the similitudes between Sardinian mamutzone/i/es, Basque carnival and other similar European folk traditions, all of which should be ultimately Neolithic. "Mamutzon" itself is best read in Basque as from the word mamu = ghost, a similar case is in NW Iberian "mamarrachos" (one of mamutzon-like traditions in other European geographies), which reads in Basque as "small bug" or "small monster" ("mamarratxo" in Basque spelling). PS1: Ilienses clearly refers to "ili" (widespread word meaning "city" or "town" of surely ultimate West Asian origins, the same word was used by Iberians, cf. Ilerda, Iliberi, etc. and variants are found all around including Basque and even in the alt-name of Troy: Ilion, probably meaning "great city"). Ili-enses would thus mean "those of Ili" or "those of (the) city". PS2: Sardinia was of course the origin of the Sherden (and archaeology demonstrates that they imported copper from Sinai and tin from NW Iberia in those days) but not of "the sea people" which is not a thing at all, rather "the sea peoples" (plural), which were many and diverse (and most from the Aegean anyhow). PS3: Phoenicians did not have settlements in Catalonia but rather in Andalusia (most notably Gadir, modern Cádiz, but also Malaka = Málaga, Sexi = Almuñecar and Abdera = Almería). It was the Phocaean Greeks of Marseilles who had settlements in Catalonia (Emporion and Rhodes), as well as in Corsica (Alalia, which was later captured by the Etruscans).
Why sometimes random illustrations ? Not really trustworthy. Better research please . Especially concerning the illustrations. Even viking-illustrations. What the heck ?!!!
Hi Dennis. Thanks for passing by and for your comment. We are trying to add as many real depictions as possible. However, since we mostly talk about ancient cultures, there are not too many materials that we can use to cover the full length of our videos without repeating the existing ones several times. We promise we compensate with the info.

Necessary video. Very opportune topic.
Thank you so much!

Thanks so much for sharing this story with us, Crissy! We are glad you liked this material and humbled that it bought back memories.
@culturepassport indeed it did (Sergio hmmmm) thanks ;-)
Thanks for bringing life to such an unknown culture! Fascinating!!
So happy to hear that you enjoyed it!

I feel the same way
Most of the images have nothing to do with the actual content . The AI is horrible
My beautiful island 🥰❤️
Thanks for watching!
Fascinating, thank you.
Thank you too!
I hate AI generated pictures
Did you see the Nuragic bicycle at 5:05?
Same, i was about to say something about the caravels, but why bother.
Good to know that those famous Sardinian bronzes are not from the time of the nuraghs, but from later.

💝🕊️ Fantastic video.
Thank you! 🏆💐
Many thanks! I am glad you enjoyed it.
Sardinia is not Italy geographically, just politically.
Also Italy is not Italy politically...
Nuragic is not related to Romance langauges or any Indo-European languages. It is an agglutinative language and probably related to Etruscan, Basque, Rhaetic and Minoan langauges.
Oh great horned one, what do you see through your magic staff? 😲😵🎯
The Sea People being Sardinians is not a recent theory, unless you consider 100 years as recent.
The Sardinian language is not part of the Italian language family though.

STATUES !!!! At about 10:45 or so that gets shouted
I'd much rather hear a thick accent, a speech impediment, or an atypical sounding human voice than AI. It's a shame, really.
Woah 😮 an other click bait.....dog gone it 🐕
every village or tent gets a new name for the people and a 'new' culture??????? nonsense
man, how the voice is butchering all the Sardinian names. it's painful;D
yeah as soon as I heard BCE had to leave, sorry fam
I hate ai voice

Better to have fewer illustrations than having anachronistic or otherwise misleading ones. History channels should try for accuracy.
Viking?
At least mark your "inserted" pics as such
