Well this is the longest video I have uploaded on the channel so far...let me know what you think? If you enjoyed this extended version you may also enjoy the latest extended video I made on the Bronze Age Minoans th-cam.com/video/t6cHnbYWk0E/w-d-xo.html Also, I used a couple different microphones in different sized rooms on different days while recording this video(out of necessity)...so this may sound slightly different tones at times.
Stoked. Appreciate all your vids covering under appreciated eras and cultures. Longer is more than fine with me, but a variety of lengths probably still good to cover the bases.
Hearing you talk about how you coloured certain bronze helmets or weapons differently to represent wear and tear or different levels of bronze-content really put into perspective the level of detail and research you put into your videos. Simply fantastic content.
Brilliant content Epimetheus. As a modern-day Assyrian, I'm intrigued by the light you shed on so many questions I've had about my ancestors' movements throughout the region. I replayed this video at least 4 times to absorb the wealth of information you kindly provide. Looking forward to more commentary videos too... That was Awesome. :)
Bronze is used in a lot of modern machinery etc, when the engineer wants to make sure only one of two contacting parts is being worn away, they make that one from bronze and the other from steel. Bronze is still pretty hard so it resists abrasion pretty well, but when it's worn away you only need to swap out the bronze part.
Its usually a bushing...and they are brass now, not bronze...brass is made with zinc instead of tin, making it stronger, but still softer than the steel, which is usually a shaft.
@@davidparadis490 Brass also contained lead until recently. Now the presence or absence of lead depends on application (no longer allowed in domestic water parts, at least not in the US).
This “director’s commentary” style is really neat. I love your “normal” style too, and this was a fun change of pace. More like this would be extremely welcome. Keep it up, your videos just keep getting better!
I like how the symbol of disease you used on your sickness emoji was the Chaos symbol of Nurgle! I knew the Rotbloods were behind the collapse of the Bronze Age. Anyways, excellent video!
57:55 The Tigris and Euphrates confluence has two names depending on who you ask: Arabs call it Shatt al-Arab (شط العرب) meaning river of the Arabs. But in Iran, it's called Arvand Rud (اروند رود), the swift river. Or at least Shatt al-Arab is only considered the part of river that is in Iraq. At the Iranian border the river Karun from Zagros mountains joins Shatt al-Arab and forms the Iran-Iraqi border. This part is considered Arvand Rud in Iran.
Wow this was a great video. It has been 15 years since I finished my history degree and I had forgot most of this info. This was a great refresher of this time period. Very good. You got a new subscriber.
Unlikely that our electronic media will survive the next 100 years least of all 3000 years. I can see our current civilization being part of another "Dark Age".
@@michaelb1761 yes, but even a little bit goes a long way. Assuming the archaeologists of 3000 years in the future are as advanced or more advanced than our own today, then I am sure they will be able to recover quite a lot of information from a random laptop hard-drive that was carelessly thrown in the bin and sent to landfill rather than destroyed or recycled. If it’s buried deep enough it should be reasonably safe from solar flares and EMP events. Moreover, I expect that buried CDs and DVDs will have good prospects of being readable even 3000 years from now.
Brilliant. More information, longer vids are a great idea. I do like your advertisement regarding bronze. I think it helps people to put the subject in a contemporary context.
i remember this one time in school my teacher said something about us being young scribes.. i thought, what is this like some weird ancient scribe school? i thought everyone is taught the same curriculum.. right now im wondering if i really was taught to be a scribe and others are taught to do other things. thats why im good with words and other people are very not... but then its like so we're forced to fail at life then? maybe we can change that.. devil card, bitch..
This is a really smart feature: First get people hooked to a subject with a slick shorter video, then expand on it with additional audio within the same framework of visual cues. By means of progreesive learning, the short version becomes more memorable, and the extended content becomes better motivated and more digestible. A one hour firework of colorful graphics would even be too exausting (for both creator and follower, I guess) Please just make sure that every name and year digit is spelled out somewhere on the screen. I still pause and replay a lot because I didn't get some name or number. But in general, additional audio gives adequate time to appreciate the elaborate maps that can overwhelm you when watching the short version for the first time. Thank you so much for your very valuable contribution to our general education with respect to a quite fundamental topic!
Holy crap is it my birthday?! Thank you so much for this wealth of information!! If I wasn't a poor history student I would subscribe to your patreon. Thank you Epimetheus!!!
I really loved watching the shorter version, and then coming back and getting the longer version with more context. I think it'd have been a bit much to absorb if I had just started with the longer version, so having a 2nd watch through with injected "more info!" bits was really great. Thanks!
The only difference being Lindybeige has no idea of his subject, just watch his videos on the "spandau" and why british officer don't duck, it's just a couple idiotic rant to present the British as the cream of the crop, he's just an armchair historian with a pride problem
@@theortheo2401 I see Lindybeige as more of an opinion-ist who states what he believes on a subject rather than trying to do well researched educational content. I like it, he expresses his own common sense to a topic or idea without coming off as being self-centered or superior minded (usually).
I just can't get into the quality of the content and dialogue. Your thought process is so rational... Like explaining why you suspect the state was clandestinely responsible for the tomb raiding... You just make so much sense. Subscribed AF
These types of videos don't please the youtube algorithm as much, but I hope you continue to make these extended versions for the super dedicated fans like us!
Please do more hour long videos! This was exceptionally interesting to watch in addition to your shorter videos. So quite simply, keep up the good work!
Honestly really glad to see you making longer and more detailed videos than the 10min we usually see in your channel. This is exactly the kind of history content I enjoy, great job! Subscribed in the hopes of seeing some more longer, extended videos.
I see this video come up in my recommendations and go "How is a 10 min video the extended version for this guy" then "Oh well, its Epimetheus and it is about what came after the bronze age collapse". So page loads and I immediately see I had misread the time and go "Ohhhhhh, nice" Now it is time to sit back and enjoy.
This was a wonderful pre-work learning. I normally wake up about 2 hours before time to clock in and check out similar style historical videos, thanks for this and ill check out others in the future.

Didn't watch an Epimetheus video in a while, but this was quite a feast. Also, the enjoyment is greater as I just came from Egypt. Thank you! Keep it going!
@@EpimetheusHistory Probably the Dahshur Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum. Everything was incredible, to read about these things since young age and to go and actually see them is...the feeling is hard to explain :D I stayed there for 1 week.
I was skeptical about this video because I prefer short ones. Yet I gave it a try and I have to say, this "director's commentary" was great, we learned yet more and even could notice such important details as the bronze colors. Loved it. I usually don't have time for such a long video but if you publish one from time to time, I'd certainly watch!
One thing I really love about your channel is, that as a non-native english speaker i was taught "people" as a synonym to "guys". And I only learned later on, that "people" can also mean a big group of people living in sort of one place under the rule of one person or in a community/society together. So everytime you use the word I hear it initially as "the mountain guys and the sea guys" and that sounds just funny idk. Thank you so much for that long video and the work you put in it!!!
Back when English was taught in school, People was the go to word to explain collective nouns, so we learned about people and persons. So when I had use it in a sentences: libertarians say “power to the persons”, and communists say “power to the people”
This is great video. Especially lot visual information. Usually I just play videos as background when playing games like minecraft but this time, oh man, I was checking all the time to see what,where...really informative. :)
The additional commentary was absolutely fantastic! I’ve really appreciated all of your videos but I think this was my favourite to date. I love the feel of this style, like you’re having a conversation with a really knowledgeable friend. Btw, your talent in putting this quality of work together as a one-man-show is utterly mind-blowing. Cant wait to see more 👍🏻🤗

You're able to explain a very complex subject without making it complicated - a rare gift indeed! Well done!
You're the man dude. Thank you for finding all this information and putting it in a digestible format. I tried to research this myself after your first video and failed miserably.
Thank you for mentioning the Nubians. The Bronze Age Collapse may have been terrible for their Northern Rivals, Egypt(Kemet), but it was a boon for the Nubians and allowed their Kingdom, Kush, to become independent and a mighty empire.
Hello, Epimetheus. This is my first viewing of your works. How did I like it ?? I loved it. Grew up in mid 1900s in fundamental Biblical Tennessee. Very limited & distorted perception of history of period producing the Old & New Testaments. It’s great to get more objective historic context of these ages. I will begin watching your additional videos. I’ve forwarded the link to this episode to ~100 people.

Epimitheus this is EPIC
I love it .So informative .
CHAD Wastelanders V.S. virgin City Dwellers.
Loved the deeper dive into the subject!
You somehow manage to make these potentially dry subjects, both interesting and still densely packed with information. Bravo. :)
Your commentary was fantastic and entertaining.
You're the man dude. Thank you for finding all this information and putting it in a digestible format. I tried to research this myself after your first video and failed miserably.
Longer is better when one has a good narrative voice. You should do longer ones!
Thank you for mentioning the Nubians. The Bronze Age Collapse may have been terrible for their Northern Rivals, Egypt(Kemet), but it was a boon for the Nubians and allowed their Kingdom, Kush, to become independent and a mighty empire.
Nubia is now entirely Egyptian🇪🇬
5:23 im glad you took some time to explain the Three Emojis of Apocalypse
:D
Epimetheus doing a longer video: this part of my life is called happiness
Hey I loved the program and liked the comments please do more if possible!
Hello, Epimetheus. This is my first viewing of your works. How did I like it ?? I loved it. Grew up in mid 1900s in fundamental Biblical Tennessee. Very limited & distorted perception of history of period producing the Old & New Testaments. It’s great to get more objective historic context of these ages. I will begin watching your additional videos. I’ve forwarded the link to this episode to ~100 people.
Great work! Very informative. Thank you.👏👏
I could literally listen to you for hours man, keep doing these !
