This was quite a biased video skewed to Western civilization. If you're going to make such "informative" videos, you need to include all of human history from the whole world and not just western countries. I was disappointed that I spent watching this video!
Caveat: Copper is NOT too soft for weapons. It's too soft for large/low-maintenance weapons. Various tribes used copper weapons, such as the "Yellowknife" Dene tribes of Northern Canada.
As others have pointed out, there are quite a few mistakes in this video. I’d like to add to that: - Around 4:20, these paintings are from the Renaissance, 1000 years after classical antiquity. I wouldn’t have pointed it out except that this section is specifically focused on art of this time - While iron sewing needles made it easier to make clothes, bone needles have existed since the Stone Age
Ikr I saw those paintings and instantly was like : hey, didn't they belong to renaissance age? But then thought to myself maybe my memory just doesn't function well, and then I saw your comment and felt instantly relieved lol
I'd point out a few mistakes: - Zinc and copper alloys make brass, not bronze. Typical bronze is copper and tin. - Prehistory by definition is what antecedes the invention of Writing, not a time during the Iron Age
He forgot to mention that not all cultures in the world developed or even used bows and arrows. Basically all cultures however, used a sling or a throwing spear/atlatl, and even the indigenous aussies had the boomerang. I'm pretty sure it's just meant to be a rough depiction tho. Most of what he said is fairly accurate.
@@Noname-tc8wtwdym? Natural law is just a belief that nature's hierarchies are justified because they exist. Like most philosophies, it works in a vacuum but kinda falls apart under some scrutiny.

another one, the reason for irons dominance was that it only required one ore, also copper and tin are usually found in disparate areas which need wider trade routes
@@franciasii2435 That's not true, the problem was you couldn't mass produce steel - and most people couldn't get it hot enough to make it. All steel is, is Iron with 1.5-2% carbon content. Other metals give it other properties, but people in South and Central Asia knew how to reliably make Damascus Steel as far back as like 300-400 BC. And the Carbon is already in there, you just have to reach a certain temperature to burn it off. Or in Damascus Steel's case, they basically fused two different kinds of iron together, one with too much carbon and the other with too little, balancing it out. Iron with a higher carbon has a lower melting point, so that's what makes it possible. Steel tools have been found all over the world for thousands of years. People knew what they were doing, even in antiquity, but the means to make steel were just rare.
I love the concept of this video but there are a lot of minor mistakes and over-simplifications that could/should have been ironed out in quality control (or maybe by consulting a historian) before publishing. Statements like "the bow & arrow was the first long range weapon", "copper was too soft to be used as a weapon" or "the neolithic era ended hunter-gatherers completely" are some obvious examples. There are also some broader methodological problems that are somewhat unresolvable - such as deciding what to include in a summary video about such a broad topic, and the general western-centric focus/framing of history in this video that should have been acknowledged at the very least.
@@ChineduOpara Well I'm not the TH-camr making educational videos that will be watched by thousands of people - so that responsibility kind of falls on the uploader. However, if you really want to know. Hand thrown and atlatl-assisted throwing spears are stone-age ranged weapons, copper weapons existed, bronze was just better and more resilient, and the neolithic didn't stop hunter-gathering cultures from existing. The agricultural revolution was a change that occurred independently at different times in different places and spread slowly over thousands of years. There were also hunter-gatherers and farmers living simultaneously in many areas, and there are even examples of hunter-gatherer cultures that exist to this very day.

Lords did not “give” their land to vassals, they were functionally landlords that rented their land to tenants. It was not wholly or even primarily for military purposes; most of the land was farmland worked by peasant farmers that were indebted (or more accurately “indentured”) to the lord - Overall this video has an enormous slant towards western history rather than world history It’s extremely hard to summarise world history in a 10 minute video. Perhaps impossible. Even so, this definitely deserved more scrutiny, as your channel has an authoritative reputation for factual information. It’s ironic that your sponsor is Ground News, when this video is full of mistakes and bias
i mean it is more for entertainment than education, cant expect a random guy to know everything about every topic, these are all just things he probably found on wikipedia or smth
The modern age is not that large you've cobbled together like 4 diff eras. Also, the Renaissance era was it's own thing, there's so many discrepancies here I don't even know what to do
-Every baseball statistic -Every Touhou incident -Every horror slasher antagonist -Every lanthanide and its uses -Every two letter abbreviation for weather in an aerodrome METAR -Every Chinese dynasty -Every blood type -Every phase of ice
One important note, iron ABSOLUTELY has an advantage over bronze, as it doesn’t dent, bend or get distorted as easily as bronze does, it would be quite common for you to use a bronze tool or weapon and have to manually straighten it back to its original shape
Thanks for putting it into perspective, I always say We’ve come so damn far whenever someone says something negative about “todays world” honestly grateful that we’re in this time period
Hey I liked your video quite a lot but as someone not from 'the West' I feel my history is mostly left out. I request you to include every part of the world in your videos!
I feel like, even considering the condensed format of the video, there was a lack of historiographical consideration. For example, the “Dark Ages” as a concept wasn’t really based on that much objectivity but rather a characterization by the Italian artists and scholars of the Renaissance in order to justify returning to ‘classical values’.
This is a cool crash course through history! It's amazing how much you packed in 10 minutes. One thing I noticed is there wasn't much time to talk about the Middle Ages or later periods. Maybe picking a specific era to dive deeper into next time could be cool?
That “Grounded News” advertisement, is the best integrated “ad” into the video I’ve seen! 😂 Usually, the ad is preceded by the usual “today’s sponsor” etc…but incorporating it into the actual crux of the video is genius! PS: the video was awesome too, thanks!
BIG mistake starting at 1:28, sure agriculture is thought to have started appearing around that time, but it most definitely did not end the hunter-gatherer lifestyle. It took thousands of years before agriculture reached europe from where it originated in the middle east. In North America many tribes where semi-nomadic all the way up until the colonisation by Europeans.
I know for different countries some ages begin and end in different times (for example for some the mediaeval ages end with the fall of Constantinople and for some it ends with the age of discovery) but I've never seen anyone jump from the mediaeval age straight to the modern age.
1:04 recently they disproved the finding that neanderthals buried their dead with flowers. They discovered a rodent that would borough underground ahd the specific fower they found was their primary source of food.
yeah that "neanderthals buried their dead with flowers" hypothesis has always been a bit shaky. Not to say that it was impossible (I believe the Neanderthals definitely had ritualistic behaviour), but I believe this was based off only one single archaeological find that received a lot of media attention before it was properly researched.
The fun neat way I like categorizing the start and end of the middle ages is it starting with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and ended with the fall of he Eastern Roman Empire which also puts into perspective the influence the Roman empire had in both antiquity and the Middle ages with just half of it falling being viable start and end dates
Fun fact. Before the invention of the bow and arrow there was a thing called a atlatl that basically got an arrow with a hole and connected to a stick with a peg and you threw it much like a lite version of a spear.
Just one thing! After the industrial revolution (the second one) historians (at least me and my professors) don't call this period Modern Age, but Contemporary Age. There's too much of a cultural, political and economical shift in the western world, at least, for us to consider it just a "phase" of the modern ages. Great job as always! 😊
i would like to point out that Neanderthals' were partially incorporated into modern humanity, as many human groups today have sections of Neanderthal dna, up to 9% in some people. Good video though
This is so eurocentric it’s crazy. One of the biggest events of history, the rise of Islam, was skipped and only slightly mentioned as a reason for the “dark ages” 😂😂😂😂
You forgot to put "In Europe" in the title, bro said nothing about Islamic discoveries, just mentioned "also Islam was emerging", didn't say a thing about China + Russia, basically said things only about Europe which defeats the point of the title.
4:16 I just wanted to clarify that what you're showing is RENAISSANCE art, not CLASSICAL art. The Renaissance was marked by a strong influence from classical studies (art, music, architecture, etc.) while this art is definitely classical-inspired, none of the art shown is actually from that era. We see frescos from the Sistine Chapel from Michelangelo, and the central figure from Botticelli's The Birth of Venus; both of these are famously Renaissance pieces.
Pretty nice video, always like how concise and informative they are! However, I’d just like to note that the periodization presented in this video is pretty biased towards European history and there are a lot of different local periodization systems around. I’d recommend people to learn about the history of the entire world, it can be quite interesting!
This is very Eurocentric, if it was titled "Every European historical period explained in 10 minutes" then it would be pretty accurate for an 8.5 minute explainer
Things like him calling Forks and Sewing needles "construction and farming tools" makes me wonder if he actually writes the scripts, readaptes them from Wikipedia, or just edits whatever chat GPT tells him. Hbomber video about plagiarism really gave me a different perception of videos like this. Anyone else?
Video idea: Since you just 420.000 subs, make a video about weed. Idk what specifically, but a weed related explainer would be awesome. "Every type of cannabis product explained" could include stuff like smoking devices, different products, extracts, etc. Wild idea, but would be fun to watch
Whilst I understand that trying to shorthand-explain common historical time period definitions innately includes the western-civilization bias within those definitions, when you said "in the western part of the world, Greeks and Romans..." I was soooo hoping for the next sentence to be "meanwhile, in Asia / America / Africa". Maybe this could be a follow-up video? A 10minute abbreviation overview of what the rest of the world was up to whilst European history did it's thing?
Hey man I love your videos. Wish you didn’t skip over all the stuff between colonization and industrialization though. Maybe not enough first hand sources but it would be nice if you gave it a Slide in that .05 second gap you had there or a caption 😢💦🩸. I was wondering if that .05 second gap was intentional - if so make it a pause for 5 whole seconds and we’ll all understand, there’s something to be had there with a dramatic pause I think you could add that as- an artists critique. Because there is always room for improvement- everyone - myself too.
“Dark ages” is a very misleading term that historians don’t use anymore. It glosses over the scientific, agricultural, cultural, linguistic, and industrial contributions of the Carolingian Renaissance and the Catholic Church, which laid the groundwork for industrialization and the scientific revolution. In fact, much of classical literature we have today is thanks to monastery libraries where monks who painstakingly copied down all the manuscripts of antiquity, keeping them safe from barbaric invasions at the fall of the Roman Empire. The university system we have today has roots in cathedral schools and papal-supported academic institutions. The list could go on forever. It was hardly “dark” in terms of intellectual output.
The main reason why historians don't use the term dark ages anymore is because it creates an implicit value judgement about the era. The fact remains though that the intellectual output during that period pales in comparison to the classical era. Also after the fall of the roman empire, Europe became significantly less materially prosperous.
Yes they are from renaissance, so not classical art, and they are : Michelangelo "la creazione di Adamo", Botticelli "La nascita di Venere" and Raffaello "la scuola di Atene"
One early species of human you forgot to mention was Homo Heidelbergensis (apologies if I spelled that wrong) which were closely related to the Neanderthals, and was the only other species of human to have a sapien-like body, apart from the Homo Erectus. Research has shown (at least from scientific understanding) that we evolved from Heidelbergensis. Heidelbergensis also lived around the same time period as the Neanderthals and Homo Erectus.
You watered down the Middle east Literally the cradle of civilization and where Greeks got everything from from Alphabet To philosophy, Architecture, Chemistry and math and so on
Albeit some have pointed its wrong, the jump Medieval-Modern ages is... actually correct, albeit you could divide modern into modern and contemporary era. Ilustration and Reinessance arent historical periods, the same Barroque or Gothic arent either; they are artistic and ideologicaly self defined periods. That said, a lot of the information is oversimplified or straight wrong. It may seem strange, but hunter-gatherers had a very good lifestyle for all we know, and the change to agriculture throu many years was tied to a developing climatic and ecological crisis, not the myth of "progress", so it happened sporadically in specific groups, which may even at some points abandoned it completely if it wasnt eficient; nor is it tied to technological or social advances that strongly, given we know of non agricultural cities ancient cities. That aside, many of the ancient human species coincided in periods of time; Neanderthals technically didnt spread that much and mantained a very stable population throu their time as Sapiens populations came throu and intermingled, their extintion probably being related to the end of the ice age they were adapted to. Also, Neanderthals looked plainly human with bigger noses, probably even rather nordic looking given their enviroment, the idea they looked like human monkeys is also a myth.
The definition of humanism seems mistaken considering the context of being mentioned before the renaissance. Early humanism was a scholastic movement focused on the study of classical literature. Humanism defined as "a philosophical focus on humans, agency, and their potential" did not come until much later.
You have to love how Egypt was glossed over, as well as Mesopotamia which is the first civilisation. He went straight to Greece and Rome like any other western historian 😂!
He also glossed over the entirety of Asia including the rise and fall of the Mongalian Empire (all he mentioned was Genghis Khan) and China's and India's 5000+ years history each.

sewing needles were actually invented before the iron age. the oldest surviving ones are bone needles from the neolithic
Whilst I understand that trying to shorthand-explain common historical time period definitions innately includes the western-civilization bias within those definitions,
when you said "in the western part of the world, Greeks and Romans..." I was soooo hoping for the next sentence to be "meanwhile, in Asia / America / Africa".
Maybe this could be a follow-up video? A 10minute abbreviation overview of what the rest of the world was up to whilst European history did it's thing?
Neat video but its clearly very eurocentric and oversimplified
Hey man I love your videos. Wish you didn’t skip over all the stuff between colonization and industrialization though. Maybe not enough first hand sources but it would be nice if you gave it a Slide in that .05 second gap you had there or a caption 😢💦🩸. I was wondering if that .05 second gap was intentional - if so make it a pause for 5 whole seconds and we’ll all understand, there’s something to be had there with a dramatic pause I think you could add that as- an artists critique. Because there is always room for improvement- everyone - myself too.
Viking discovered the americas well before Colombus
I love this channel
5:37 "This brought things like the black death, but it wasn't all bad though. They invented the printing press!"
oh well that makes up for it
Did you do the narrator voice for Warcraft 3?
“Dark ages” is a very misleading term that historians don’t use anymore. It glosses over the scientific, agricultural, cultural, linguistic, and industrial contributions of the Carolingian Renaissance and the Catholic Church, which laid the groundwork for industrialization and the scientific revolution.
In fact, much of classical literature we have today is thanks to monastery libraries where monks who painstakingly copied down all the manuscripts of antiquity, keeping them safe from barbaric invasions at the fall of the Roman Empire.
The university system we have today has roots in cathedral schools and papal-supported academic institutions.
The list could go on forever. It was hardly “dark” in terms of intellectual output.
The main reason why historians don't use the term dark ages anymore is because it creates an implicit value judgement about the era. The fact remains though that the intellectual output during that period pales in comparison to the classical era. Also after the fall of the roman empire, Europe became significantly less materially prosperous.
Your video's are clearly and super good!
continue in this manner!
Consider not to add your insinuations for the sake of sponsored content. Ironically that what bias news sources do.
1:08 no, you are a robot.
Don't, EVER, compare yourself to me again.
Nice vid tho
You could have included the copper age. i know it is considered bronze age, but still better than the ground news ad
I love how middle ages only talks about Europe 😂
the classical art paintings you showed are from the renaissance?
Yes they are from renaissance, so not classical art, and they are : Michelangelo "la creazione di Adamo", Botticelli "La nascita di Venere" and Raffaello "la scuola di Atene"
Who decides when we're in the next age
One early species of human you forgot to mention was Homo Heidelbergensis (apologies if I spelled that wrong) which were closely related to the Neanderthals, and was the only other species of human to have a sapien-like body, apart from the Homo Erectus. Research has shown (at least from scientific understanding) that we evolved from Heidelbergensis. Heidelbergensis also lived around the same time period as the Neanderthals and Homo Erectus.
Age of Mythology: Retold is gonna be so cool after watching this
Good video
Where my Paleolithic homies at?
Unga bunga, Oog Oog!
Aaahhhhh
Can you make a warfare in each time period video
You watered down the Middle east
Literally the cradle of civilization and where Greeks got everything from from Alphabet
To philosophy, Architecture, Chemistry and math and so on
Albeit some have pointed its wrong, the jump Medieval-Modern ages is... actually correct, albeit you could divide modern into modern and contemporary era. Ilustration and Reinessance arent historical periods, the same Barroque or Gothic arent either; they are artistic and ideologicaly self defined periods.
That said, a lot of the information is oversimplified or straight wrong. It may seem strange, but hunter-gatherers had a very good lifestyle for all we know, and the change to agriculture throu many years was tied to a developing climatic and ecological crisis, not the myth of "progress", so it happened sporadically in specific groups, which may even at some points abandoned it completely if it wasnt eficient; nor is it tied to technological or social advances that strongly, given we know of non agricultural cities ancient cities.
That aside, many of the ancient human species coincided in periods of time; Neanderthals technically didnt spread that much and mantained a very stable population throu their time as Sapiens populations came throu and intermingled, their extintion probably being related to the end of the ice age they were adapted to. Also, Neanderthals looked plainly human with bigger noses, probably even rather nordic looking given their enviroment, the idea they looked like human monkeys is also a myth.
Can someone please tell me how these types of videos are made? Is there any website available to create these kinds of videos?
International human eras:
Stone era
Copper era
Bronze era
Iron era
Classical antiquity
Medieval era(Middle ages)
Now:Modern era
The definition of humanism seems mistaken considering the context of being mentioned before the renaissance. Early humanism was a scholastic movement focused on the study of classical literature. Humanism defined as "a philosophical focus on humans, agency, and their potential" did not come until much later.
Great video, now subscribed
Should have included the Renaissance and Victorian Era at least, they were very important.
The Bronze Age? Doesn't he play in the NBA?
Omg! Isn't he one of the goats of NBA?!
My sunshine!
TH-cam has made me realize just how much school conditioned me not to enjoy learning
You have to love how Egypt was glossed over, as well as Mesopotamia which is the first civilisation. He went straight to Greece and Rome like any other western historian 😂!
He also glossed over the entirety of Asia including the rise and fall of the Mongalian Empire (all he mentioned was Genghis Khan) and China's and India's 5000+ years history each.
He’s talking about time periods, not ancient civilizations, stupid
That Segway to the sponsor was so fucking clean, holy shit man.
Imma be honest, I didn't see the promotion coming. I got scared actually.
