      There are exactly 10 active channels now to the best of my knowledge, so it'd be kinda fun to see him rank them lol. Would make a good BB video. Especially if he made Danny write it and rank them and presumably rip on Simon to no end throughout, then Simon had to read that ranking and argue with it instead of just delivering an order of his own XD

      For real, I was a fan of a few channels but became a fan of the guy overall because of Business Blaze. I'm glad that BB's success has made him realize his personality is enjoyable and it's okay to be more laid back in his other channels a bit. Now I'm subbed to and get notifications on every single channel, and I had to make a separate watch later list just for Simon videos because I always want to binge them as a group and it was clogging up my other list and taking forever to arrange them all in nice globs XD
      I kinda wish he'd host his own website with all his videos, I'd pay a couple bucks a month to watch them in one convenient place and free of interruption-ads (sponsor spots are fine by me and still fair to him especially if it keeps subscription cost low)

    ah wow i had the exact opposite reaction to seeing stonehenge for some reason 🤣 to be fair i had been actively studying archaeology and discussing it frequently for nearly 3 years and had also visited avebury 3 times before i ever went there so that might be it
    fun fact ! the large stones at stonehenge are sarsons identical to the stones at avebury , only shaped instead of left as they were found ! and although it aligns with both because thats how circles work, it probably was intended to align with mid winter, most activity dates to winters like the growth of animals and trees
    it might be a bit short , but a video on Avebury would be pretty awesome - its ENORMOUS, stone circle aside (which has most of the village in it) the excavated extent of the henge itself is insane. also has a lot of weird stories like the swindon stone, one that fell on a tudor surveyor, and tolkiens tree :>

    You showed a picture of a sarcen rather than a bluestone at 12:33, the bluestones are smaller than the sarcens weighing up to 5T.

    Funny how the great pyramid is said 2 have only taken 20 years (that's cutting moving, shaping and setting every block in 2 or 3 minutes total....) and is a much grander work than the piza tower but that took 199 years and it was thousands of years later....
