Alright then guys. Months of effort on this one. Nearly broke me. Glad to have it finally out there. Who do you think the Sea Peoples were? Let me know what you think in the comments! Don't forget to like, subscribe, comment etc and why not share with a like minded friend. Where would you like to see me go and film next once it's a bit easier to travel? Thanks for watching and see you next time
I have bounced numerous speculative theories around as to who the "sea peoples" were, including labeling them as proto-Mycenaeans. The Bronze Age collapse is one of the most interesting, esoteric parts of human history. Very much looking forward to this!
Dude, I'm a 61year old Disabledd woman in R rural Pennsylvania and my funds are extremely limited. I write this because I sure would've liked to have helped you continue sharing your knowledge. Being disabled I cannot get out and certainly not to any of the places you've taken me. I'd like to thank you ever so much for all the many enjoyable hours I've spent learning from you and visiting so many exotic places at your side seemingly. Seriously, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!!! :
You accomplished plenty in your life and will continue to do so, learning about these cultures is an accomplishment in of itself. Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion with us and the rest of the History Time community. I am a 22 year old college student. You'll never know what type of person will be interested in what, I'm honored to be able to share this interest with you. God Bless.
@@TigerLily61811 Not that strange. I'm 62 and call people "dude". We're from the era when people described each other as "cats" (1960s, back when people were strange, although no stranger than they are now.)
I'm a professional archivist and historian, originally specialized in the Ancient Near East. You managed to tell the story using solid, established scholarship while also bringing in some of the newer stuff as well without falling off the horse on either side. That is very difficult indeed and it is quite an achievement. This would get the highest marks in any MA program in the US. Very well done.
@@wilddesigns857 It's funny how bigots unwittingly expose themselves in the YT comment section. You are worse than the homophobe who replied "Gay!". Instead of asking "what's wrong with being gay?" or simply "So what?" You take the view that it's a disgusting comment because being gay is disgusting. Of course you don't even know you're a fucking bigot & imo, that is the worst kind of bigot because at least the homophobe has the balls to be an unabashed bigot, he knows he is no good. You on the other hand think you are better when in fact you are the same: hateful bigots!

@@salparadise1220 oh don't worry, in the time between watching this for the first time and making this comment I'd listened to 11 out of his 12 episodes, prime stuff
Well I haven’t even started watching it yet but I came here due to my recommendations, yet I find reading the comments first to be helpful as then I see what I’m getting into hahaha and like a few videos I’ve had show up in my recommend home, most people end up on videos like this due to auto play, good job I turn that off so I only watch and have the history of what I have watched. With that your comment has made me want to give this a good listen to so instead of watching it now at 1am U.K. time I’ll wait until morning and take this in properly. Thank you for your comment for without it I may have missed something here. I’ll check back in the morning 🙏
I cannot believe you did all this on your own. This is on par with professional production. The sound design is so nostalgic, reminiscent of early 2000s documentaries, and the amount of information you put into this is astounding! I'm so glad you didn't give up on this, it's an impressive feat! Keep doing this please, you're a treasure to have around.
The nostalgia and overall flow of the cinematic historical data is on par with the history Channel. I can't stop watching it. The kind of education that we need, no opinion, no bias. Historical education based in factual data. The lack of such bias that unfortunately goes along with all types of knowledge based in fact makes it all the more impressive that an individual created it alone. It's spectacular.
I agree. I’m about to post a bit of data uptop. He may have some work cut out for him yet. I’m glad there’s other people out there with great appreciation. Gives me hope for …the future.
You people are all obviously younger than 40 years of age. Or even 30. The History Channel, Discovery Channel and TLC hasn't been relevant, informative or of interest or quality since the 1990's. Around 1999-2000 they rapidly grew increasingly more speculative tabloid and sensational and when that didn't work they turned to degenerate reality bullshit TV and popular pseudo-science which is obviously what you kids grew up with. History is indeed wiped out by the victors. You don't even know a world prior to Sep 11 when all you had to do was pass through a metal detector at airports, people would talk face to face and do shit together and you would actually find informative stuff on TV. You've grown up in a world were people are detached not only from each other, but themselves, going through an airport is a hellish control grid tyranny and everything on the webz or TV is lies, propaganda and bullshit! I used to tell people about the new world order back in 1991. They'd laugh and call me crazy. Well... look at it now in retrospective. They've certainly succeeded very well with most of what I read they were gonna do over 30 years ago.
The History Channel, Discovery Channel, etc., should be paying you for the rights to air your documentaries. It’s the least they could do, since they seem to have no interest in producing their own quality content anymore.
No they shouldn’t. In fact they should stay the fuck away as corporations have a tendency of ruining just about anything given enough time. Plus, videos like this prove that you don’t NEED a network like that anymore.
@@NathanCassidy721 Never said he needed them. Actually was stating the opposite. And paying for the rights to air isn’t the same thing as having him produce for them. Channels pay for the rights to air movies all the time, they don’t have creative control of those movies, so they can’t really ruin them.
@@censoreverything8072 Fair enough but I would bet money that it wouldn't stop at trying to buy the rights to broadcast. TV execs tend to want to control than cooperate. But even with your suggestion, which I missed the point on initially admittedly, it's not necessary nor needed. Not that many people watch TV networks outside of sports when you can just pull up Netflix or TH-cam and look for what you want to watch. And even those that do know that most of the best stuff is usually behind subscription streaming services nowadays so there wouldn't be much of a point of putting it on Discovery or History when there are better options, like say Curiosity Stream.
I was actually thinking the same thing the other day!! It would be nice for the history channel to do actual historical content but this 2 hour doc would be over 10, 30 min episodes with ad breaks every 5 min and then a 2 min recap when you get back from break. So yea fuck that
This is better quality than just about everything the History channel produces these days, AND IS ACTUAL HISTORY AND NOT REALITY TV. You good sir just got another subscriber.
Great content! I really loved the line about "If you believe the Pharoah's propaganda, they never lost, but it appeared that they kept winning closer and closer to home". That's just good writing.
I love it when I find a “watchable” Ancient History Doc!! It’s not just watchable…it’s also shareable…which is exactly what I am doing! I’m not known for my ability to sit still, so thanks!! Keep up the great work!!
This episode is one of my favorite things ever made by any person in any context. I'm a sociology professor and you've inspired me to study the political economy of the late bronze age as a long term project. Thank you.
This is by far the best documentary I have ever watched expositing the Bronze Age collapse. I want to commend you for your efforts, and I thank you for your time and dedication to this upload, a crowning achievement for your channel.
So are these ancient sea peoples the Phoenicians? Or are they a completely different ethnic group. I always though the Phoenicians were the first sea people of the ancient Mediterranean.
@@Sailrjup12nh “Phoenicians” (Φοινικες) is an Ancient Greek designation for the Canaanites that enters into the archaeological record immediately after the Bronze Age collapse. How the “sea peoples” may have assimilated into the region historically termed “Canaan” by the neighboring ancient Egyptians and Hurrians is a matter of debate among modern historians.
I’m so glad I woke up in the middle of the night to discover this channel a few weeks ago. This is by far the best history channel on YT and among the best historical documentaries I’ve ever seen.
@@ReplyToMeIfUrRetardedI always come back to this guy’s videos and seemingly learn something new every time. Nothing but respect for creators who use this platform to make truly high quality content like HT
Your documentaries are so good. The various cable networks that used to play shows like this should hire you. It's amazing how 1 guy puts entire networks and all their money to shame. Keep up the awesome work!
@@leksluthor3 Ja stimmt, meistens sind aber auch die Themen breiter gefächert als hier. Ich würde sagen Deutsche Fernsehsender, Mal ganz abgesehen von den offenkundig dümmlichen wie RTL, machen ihren Job Recht gut!
you saw nothing . try to listen to the audio book of "1177 bc the year civilization collapsed" by Eric H. Cline . its the most complete and the best thing ever made about this time period . the audio book is 8 hours long
I can’t believe this is a one man operation. You, sir, are incredible. How I wish I’d had this documentary when I was taking a course on ancient Egypt. The professor spent about two minutes on the Sea Peoples and even in my ignorance, I knew there had to be more! This is one of those mysteries that traverses time and is inescapably fascinating. I enjoyed this opus of yours immensely and will be re-watching several times. This is the absolute best piece of research on this subject I have ever come across. And, the music is perfect.
Two years later and I still find this video extremely useful. This topic is so well-researched in this video that it should be used in university courses. The Nuragic civilization is fascinating and it makes me wonder if there was any influence to the west of Sardinia such as with the Talaiotic culture. Outstanding work.
No actually it isn't much a surprise... History channel is the lowest of the lowest. Literally anything is at least 10x better then history channel, they are a bloody disgrace to historians :D
Astonishing stuff, and can’t believe how you just churn this stuff out. As a history graduate and major history freak myself I’m in awe of your work. In a just world the BBC or whoever would sign you up and throw money at you to make whatever you wanted. I’m sure everyone watching this channel would agree, thank you so much your efforts are greatly appreciated.
@@floridmike4696 I would not trust the BBC to tuch anything history related or we probably end up with a black Shakespeare or worse. The BBC need to be rebooted with employees free of activism.
@@francmarcus8433 I kinda agree, but remember that Kings and generals now has an entire team behind it with lots of financial backing from its subs, and History time is a multitide smaller. I love kings and generals but i love History time just as much, his quality is equal to a channel with a channel with alot more subs and money, and the topics History time handles are rarely handled. I love that kings and generals has been handling quite obscure topics as well lately though! And History time tends to be MUCH more indepth than any channel ive seen except maybe ones like fall of civilizations.
I'm a camera guy professionally and so don't really have a reason to be here. Doesn't mean I need one! The history of man kind and the things people have revered, the wars fought over resources or beliefs, the diversity of people's origins, and the ideas traded throughout... these things give context and with that a certain objectivity. At least for me. When non historians argue about who's land belongs to them, who's religion is correct, who's ideas are worthy, I like to look back at topics like the one covered in this video for some truth behind the matter. Or at least a step closer to truth than uneducated, radical claims so common in today's world. Bravo, well done, this video was beyond excellent!
This channel gives me the old History Channel vibes, Ancient Empires and the old documentaries. Weird place to be hit with nostalgia, considering it is History Time. Thank you for what you do, incredibly insightful and well explained.
You know what changed? CEOS who only care about their airhead wife and family. Who cares the shows they create are absolute crap the ratings are good (sarcasm). They care about being able to vacation to a mansion in Cape cod for the summer not the quality of crap they produce.
The quality of your show reminded me what History, Discovery and other channels used to be when they first started. Super professional and interesting work!
Bro this is really awesome work, I can’t believe you did this all yourself .. it’s so professional it’s literally better quality than stuff you’d see on history channel
Also, this is the only channel I've seen on TH-cam that has the talent to make the still image of an ancient map be compelling and engaging, bravo. Not only can you teach, but you can also entertain.
I love finding historical documentaries on TH-cam, especially lengthy ones. Most are taken from TV but this, the fact that it's entirely made by you, that's fantastic! Kudos! You've gained a new subscriber!
Your videos are amazing, History Time! I've been studying the peoples of the ancient Mediterranean for several years now, primarily focused on the Etruscans (Tyrrhenians/Rasna/Rasenna) and their origins. I'm in no way a professional, but the Etruscans have fascinated me for over 15 years; so much so that I now have a sizable library dedicated to them. Your videos, especially this one on the Sea Peoples, gives all the various peoples of the area, of unknown or debated origins, their fair share of exposure and consideration. Thank you for all your hard work and may the ancient historians guide you through your journeys.
This documentary alone is such a huge accomplishment and yet you’ve made so many amazing films. You are so incredibly informative and present everything in such a simple and pleasing way. I can’t thank you enough for your work!
Wow, your way of telling this story while presenting the solid evidence for everything that you covered is absolutely incredible. Of all of the programs on the Sea Peoples out there (I've seen a bunch lately), this one is the Shahenshah of them all! Great job man, this one will forever be a History Time classic!
I love how this documentary is framed in an almost apocalyptic way. It is made in such a way it almost feels like a story being told, not the few facts of the distant past we can find. Well done!
I don’t want to take anything away from other TH-cam creators who have also put hard work into their videos on the same subject but even newer ones don’t compare to this one, not only is it informative like the others but it’s greatly entertaining, watching again now for a second time.
"Nerdettes were believed to have originated in the southern Iberian peninsula and raided Crete in the 12th century. But for unknown reasons the Nerdettes vanish from the archaeological record shortly afterward."
I'm a Celticist with a specialty in the Medieval period. I discovered your work sometime between last November and January of this year. There are quite a few do-it-yourself historians now on youtube, filling in for the ebbing study of history in our schools. Congratulations! I had heard of the sea peoples but not the Bronze Age collapse. Some of your material needs and deserves 2nd and 3rd viewings. I know I will listen to this one again. Thanks so much. You seem to be one of the innovators of this new genre.
I can't believe this is just on TH-cam for free. I learned so much from this video, and you're a fantastic storyteller. Subscribed, and I look forward to tearing through this channel's archive.
@@se6586 The comment is clearly referring to the piece of high quality content that has been researched, presented and created, not knowledge as a concept being free
the sea peoples fled climate disaster...there was horrific flooding rains that poured on southern italy and sicily...lots of natural disasters were happening...not just rising waters from these rain floods but also volcanoes going off...all the people in sicily and southern italy fled and fought egypt
It blows my mind that one man is producing these amazing documentaries, and that he does it on such a frequent basis. The amount of research that goes into these videos must be immense. I don’t know how he does it.
@@sa_exploder I was thinking the same, after I made this post I went and looked at fellows upload schedule and was shocked how often he puts out videos of equal quality. Here I am trying to drag my ass out of bed and it takes me 3 hours to make a fucking cup of coffee, this fellow might have two videos done by then :D
Just learned I was of Anatolian origin; I share the same Haplogroup with remnants between 9500 BC - 1200 BC, mainly between Hattusha and Troy. Then I get relatives in Caucasia, south Ukraine, Europe, Iran.. all dated between 800 BC ~ Present. Something drove my paternal lineage out of Anatolia and it started 1200 BC. And this information brought me here. Didn’t know about such a big event in the history.
It's so fun when you're able to find tiny tidbits of information and piece together the puzzle of your ancestry. I traced back my ancestry to see they had come from Germany and had migrated to the US in 1710, which I later found was the German Palatine migration that was caused by war, famine, and severe winters. I had zero family history passed down telling me this, just worked it out by putting the puzzle together. Was super cool to learn. I should take a closer look I my DNA to see if I can find information like you mentioned and what it means.
@John M. No mention of the Mayans, I bet they crossed the Atlantic regular. Very clicky fiefdoms all over. But they couldn't command armies without good leadership.
I want to first thank God for allowing me to recover from my former addiction and self destructive tendencies and then secondly I just want to say that this documentary is extremely attractive to my wondering mind and it's these examples that help me to maintain my strength and my sobriety ❤️. That being said.. I wanted to say thank you for the tremendous effort I know you must have put forth into researching and then putting together such an amazingly interesting documentary. From my heart man thank you for your efforts and I desperately look forward to seeing the next one you put together and upload. God bless all & it's nice to join you guys here for such an awesome presentation of our looong since history ❤️.
Only 25 mins in and it's amazing. Can't believe content this well produced is free on YT. Great job guys, the narration is on point and the pace, so far, is perfect. Great stuff guys, I can't believe we have independent creators like you besting heavily funded channels like History channel and Natgeo. It's easy to see why TV us dying.
I dont know why but I laughed when you said Pharaoh's never lost. They just won closer and closer to home 😂. I was hooked in the first 6 minutes. Awesome stuff my dude. Subscribed.
Great video, I have been interested in the sea peoples and the collapse of bronze age kingdoms, since reading "1177 BC The Collapse of Bronze Age Civilization" by Eric Kline.
I admire you so much for doing this work. It's accessable, cogent, entertaining, but sophisticated enough to keep the viewer's attention. This is an obvious labor of love and it's fantastic to know you are out there living this dream, even if it's sometimes a battle against frustration and lack of resources. Thank you a thousand times.
Well done. Your dedication to presenting history in a thorough and interesting way always impresses. Few people try to delve so deep into the early parts of recorded history on TH-cam. Your videos are never boring and always worth watching if anyone wants to delve deeper than the basic dates and names.
Thank you for making history become much more encompassing, visual and beautifully woven together as history occurred, not as stand-alone events; the combination of tempo, visual clues that enhance and enlighten and your vocal gifts all make this series simply the best I have ever experienced!!!
This channel has become my go-to on TH-cam during lockdown. Hours upon hours of expertly researched and presented material that has peaked my interest in areas of history I never before considered researching. Thank you so much History Time!!
You should be so proud of your work. A stroll through the comments tells me you are reaching ALL kinds of people with this valuable education. Loved this video! ❤
I saw this come up last night, and I was like "oh yay, its long", and then I was "oh no, I need to sleep now". So I kept this window open on my laptop through the nights and now its morning. Have my breakfast and a cup of tea at hand. Been waiting with excitement to watch this :)
Pete Kelly, in view of this painstakingly well researched documentary, I must emphatically acclaim the high level of detail, quality, and the historical value of your work, while asserting that the words "intellectual," and “academic,” seem to be a fair description of your background. To conclude, I would like to inform you that I have been, for quite some time, an enthusiastic subscriber of your Channel. Thank you so much for this upload; I will be looking forward to additional episodes (particularly those in connection with the mysterious “Late Bronze Age Collapse”). Cheers!
@@averagejoe9040 no. I unfortunately do not write professionally. Yet, I trust I have missed my "calling," for I greatly enjoy writing about various topics, particularly those related to history.
Absolutely brilliant. I took several senior level classes in college that covered this, and all of them together are not anywhere near as thorough or unbiased as yours. Thank you!!
I'm so wary of history (or "history") on youtube I had to sit down and do a bit of research about the topic and the channel before I committed to watching. I'm so glad I did - this was fabulous. Well sourced, fascinating, and well presented, and a period of history that's largely ignored, with an important focus on how interactions between different nations and struggles for resources shape history. Going to check out some other videos and give the podcast a listen,.Thanks for the hard work and the high-quality research and writing!
So I am not the only fact checker here on History Time ! We’re the truth going south is history ! And here is a fact ! While China is building a moon , I am giving China A moon if you know what I mean !
And here is some more truth The Flex Card is a Scam ! They will take your information and you will never hear from them again ! But you will hear from the People they sell your information to !

Your documentary's are amazing. I've never seen anything nearly as good as what you do. Especially about topics like this that are so rarely covered in depth yet you present everything in a way everyone can understand completely but is comprehensive and deep diving at the same time. Best history documentary maker I've ever watched and I've been watching everything I could since I was 6!!!! Thank you. You were made to do this.
As a general rule, I don't watch YT videos longer than 30 mins, but this one was absolutely amazing and kept me focused from start to finish. Great job, keep it up!
Some human voices are soothing, & others as painful as fingernails across a blackboard. In this Rothschild-manufactured era of "Agenda 2030" the Media is usually promoting fear, so it is solace to encounter voices that can help achieve healing sleep. Don't Forget: not necessary to listen all at one time - is divided neatly into various chapters.
This is beyond what History Channel is capable of producing. With the History Channel doing this you would end up with the narrator asking surprising questions to every ridiculous speculation as if each one is a fact. I find it laughable and irritating at the same time. Watch the Oak Island series and you'll see what I mean. This is high quality content.
This is probably one of the best and most thorough pieces of info that I have ever seen or read involving the sea peoples. Fantastic job the creator did! Fantastic!
Your histories are breathtakingly awesome, friends! I have been a history-phile for many years and your presentations about the Phoenicians and this about the mysterious seal people are works for art and inspiration. Thank you SO much!
I recently started working from home. And you & David are my most cherished background "noise". I have gone through History of Universe, History of the Earth, and now History Time. I'm a philosophy major with a passion for cosmology, and history, you guys' work on any of these documentaries is just AMAZING! To quote David... "And so" I just want to let you both know how grateful I am for what you do ❤
Already aware of the history of this period, I wondered how you could get 2.5 hours from it. I am so glad I watched. A fascinating and well presented documentary. Thank you.
I am ashamed that it has taken me this long to thank you most sincerely for your exquisite videos. This last year has been rough for everyone, including me and your channel really helped me, not just as a wonderful distraction but to add perspective to the crisis we have been living under. I attribute my Eureka! epiphany that this too shall pass to my own philosophical reasoning (Holla, Plato) of course. But I never would have felt confident in my realization or reached that conclusion when I did if it weren't for your uploads. And I strongly suspect that many people have had similar experiences thanks to you. That's how impactful you are, Mr. Kelly! Chapeau!
Your work for the historical things you teach are some of the best i ever came across in my 23 years of life… incredibly AMAZING work that you should always feel humbly proud of. Heck the truth in life is always the way to go🙏✝️good work amigo.
As a Maltese, I found your account on the sea people very interesting. I always suspected that Malta being in the center of the Mediterranean, with a natural safe harbour, must have contributed to early civilization even before the Bronze Age. I suspect that when Stone Age people started to progress into a more complex society, and started to navigated, Malta provided a safe heaven for commerce and intellectual activity for anyone around the Mediterranean who had the knowledge and ability to navigate. The amount of Neolithic temples on the Maltese Archipelago prove the strategic importance of these islands. Although Malta is small in size, it was always considered important to those Nations that wanted to dominate the sea. After these Neolithic temples came many others military powers here. I do not exclude the possibility that Malta could have been the place for the sea people to conspire against Egypt, and perhaps some Phoenicians, after many centuries in now Lebanon, just return to their roots here in Malta in around 700BC.
Alright then guys. Months of effort on this one. Nearly broke me. Glad to have it finally out there. Who do you think the Sea Peoples were? Let me know what you think in the comments! Don't forget to like, subscribe, comment etc and why not share with a like minded friend. Where would you like to see me go and film next once it's a bit easier to travel?

I’ll check back in the morning 🙏

if you like dinos, and im serious, look up Royal Tyrrell museum. they do talks on dinos.
I cannot believe you did all this on your own. This is on par with professional production. The sound design is so nostalgic, reminiscent of early 2000s documentaries, and the amount of information you put into this is astounding! I'm so glad you didn't give up on this, it's an impressive feat! Keep doing this please, you're a treasure to have around.
The nostalgia and overall flow of the cinematic historical data is on par with the history Channel. I can't stop watching it. The kind of education that we need, no opinion, no bias. Historical education based in factual data. The lack of such bias that unfortunately goes along with all types of knowledge based in fact makes it all the more impressive that an individual created it alone. It's spectacular.

They should rename it to the Cryptozoology channel.

This one man show puts anything the History Channel puts out to shame.

That’s a pretty low bar
@@Talleyhoooo Hehehehe
You people are all obviously younger than 40 years of age. Or even 30.
The History Channel, Discovery Channel and TLC hasn't been relevant, informative or of interest or quality since the 1990's.
Around 1999-2000 they rapidly grew increasingly more speculative tabloid and sensational and when that didn't work they turned to degenerate reality bullshit TV and popular pseudo-science which is obviously what you kids grew up with.
History is indeed wiped out by the victors.
You don't even know a world prior to Sep 11 when all you had to do was pass through a metal detector at airports, people would talk face to face and do shit together and you would actually find informative stuff on TV.
You've grown up in a world were people are detached not only from each other, but themselves, going through an airport is a hellish control grid tyranny and everything on the webz or TV is lies, propaganda and bullshit!
I used to tell people about the new world order back in 1991.
They'd laugh and call me crazy.
Well... look at it now in retrospective.
They've certainly succeeded very well with most of what I read they were gonna do over 30 years ago.
The History Channel, Discovery Channel, etc., should be paying you for the rights to air your documentaries. It’s the least they could do, since they seem to have no interest in producing their own quality content anymore.
No they shouldn’t. In fact they should stay the fuck away as corporations have a tendency of ruining just about anything given enough time.
Plus, videos like this prove that you don’t NEED a network like that anymore.
@@NathanCassidy721 Never said he needed them. Actually was stating the opposite.
And paying for the rights to air isn’t the same thing as having him produce for them. Channels pay for the rights to air movies all the time, they don’t have creative control of those movies, so they can’t really ruin them.
@@censoreverything8072 Fair enough but I would bet money that it wouldn't stop at trying to buy the rights to broadcast. TV execs tend to want to control than cooperate.
But even with your suggestion, which I missed the point on initially admittedly, it's not necessary nor needed. Not that many people watch TV networks outside of sports when you can just pull up Netflix or TH-cam and look for what you want to watch. And even those that do know that most of the best stuff is usually behind subscription streaming services nowadays so there wouldn't be much of a point of putting it on Discovery or History when there are better options, like say Curiosity Stream.
Haha yup, youtubers are producing better content than the history channel and other television networks.
I was actually thinking the same thing the other day!! It would be nice for the history channel to do actual historical content but this 2 hour doc would be over 10, 30 min episodes with ad breaks every 5 min and then a 2 min recap when you get back from break. So yea fuck that
This is better quality than just about everything the History channel produces these days, AND IS ACTUAL HISTORY AND NOT REALITY TV. You good sir just got another subscriber.
100%
I feel bad even mentioning "the channel that shall not be named"
I subscribed as well and look forward to future episodes
Got me on board, too. Best of luck!
Who were the seapeople?
"Aliens"
Great content! I really loved the line about "If you believe the Pharoah's propaganda, they never lost, but it appeared that they kept winning closer and closer to home". That's just good writing.
That's what Arsene Wenger said about the gooners til they had their own collapse
Yes. Do you ever watch CNN or PBS? Uncannily similar to the Pharaoh's propaganda.
@@frankmoore7292 why does TH-cam comments always find ways to bring up modern politics. Jesus Christ y'all are obnoxious

I love it when I find a “watchable” Ancient History Doc!! It’s not just watchable…it’s also shareable…which is exactly what I am doing! I’m not known for my ability to sit still, so thanks!! Keep up the great work!!
It's hard to find decent, watchable ones that don't stray into pseudoscience nonsense. This guy's channel is awesome
This episode is one of my favorite things ever made by any person in any context. I'm a sociology professor and you've inspired me to study the political economy of the late bronze age as a long term project. Thank you.
I love him, too!
This video is a must in any respectable academic institution.
That is why we don't cure cancer.
I’m not anyone with any credit in the field, but have watched days upon days of historical videos and this is easily the best one
it is incredibly interesting! I am really getting pulled into learning more
This is by far the best documentary I have ever watched expositing the Bronze Age collapse. I want to commend you for your efforts, and I thank you for your time and dedication to this upload, a crowning achievement for your channel.
So true!
So are these ancient sea peoples the Phoenicians? Or are they a completely different ethnic group. I always though the Phoenicians were the first sea people of the ancient Mediterranean.
And here we are facing it all again with open borders!
@@Sailrjup12nh “Phoenicians” (Φοινικες) is an Ancient Greek designation for the Canaanites that enters into the archaeological record immediately after the Bronze Age collapse. How the “sea peoples” may have assimilated into the region historically termed “Canaan” by the neighboring ancient Egyptians and Hurrians is a matter of debate among modern historians.
Don't exactly know what to say, but I'll comment it so that the algorithm can spread this high quality documentary
I’m so glad I woke up in the middle of the night to discover this channel a few weeks ago. This is by far the best history channel on YT and among the best historical documentaries I’ve ever seen.
I totally agree, the effort is amazing.
@@ReplyToMeIfUrRetardedI always come back to this guy’s videos and seemingly learn something new every time. Nothing but respect for creators who use this platform to make truly high quality content like HT
Your documentaries are so good. The various cable networks that used to play shows like this should hire you. It's amazing how 1 guy puts entire networks and all their money to shame. Keep up the awesome work!
In Germany we still get good documentaries, but maybe not as in depth as this one. On ARTE and ZDF‘s Terra X.
@@leksluthor3 Ja stimmt, meistens sind aber auch die Themen breiter gefächert als hier.

its the most complete and the best thing ever made about this time period . the audio book is 8 hours long

@@LauftFafa lol, that is a popular history. 8 hours is minor, most exhaustive works are above 20.
I can’t believe this is a one man operation. You, sir, are incredible. How I wish I’d had this documentary when I was taking a course on ancient Egypt. The professor spent about two minutes on the Sea Peoples and even in my ignorance, I knew there had to be more! This is one of those mysteries that traverses time and is inescapably fascinating. I enjoyed this opus of yours immensely and will be re-watching several times. This is the absolute best piece of research on this subject I have ever come across. And, the music is perfect.
This is amazing! Almost can’t believe it’s a one man team. It’s better than most documentaries I’ve watched
Two years later and I still find this video extremely useful. This topic is so well-researched in this video that it should be used in university courses. The Nuragic civilization is fascinating and it makes me wonder if there was any influence to the west of Sardinia such as with the Talaiotic culture. Outstanding work.
I just love how amazing these documentaries of yours are. It’s crazy to think a TH-cam channel is 10x better than the history channel.

Astonishing stuff, and can’t believe how you just churn this stuff out. As a history graduate and major history freak myself I’m in awe of your work. In a just world the BBC or whoever would sign you up and throw money at you to make whatever you wanted. I’m sure everyone watching this channel would agree, thank you so much your efforts are greatly appreciated.
The BBC would make him tell us that Europeans caused the collapse with their privilege.
Somebody should certainly snap up this talented, hardworking person!
@@floridmike4696 I would not trust the BBC to tuch anything history related or we probably end up with a black Shakespeare or worse. The BBC need to be rebooted with employees free of activism.
Agreed. But maybe this free form building his own audience is the best way.
Then BBC or whoever would burden, taint his craft by their standards.
This is ONE OF THE BEST history channels on TH-cam.
I personally believe it is THE best, it is simply unrivaled. And the fact that it is British just raises it even further in my eyes.
THE best
moroccan geographer no dude kings and generals and epic history tv are equal if not greater
@@francmarcus8433 I kinda agree, but remember that Kings and generals now has an entire team behind it with lots of financial backing from its subs, and History time is a multitide smaller. I love kings and generals but i love History time just as much, his quality is equal to a channel with a channel with alot more subs and money, and the topics History time handles are rarely handled. I love that kings and generals has been handling quite obscure topics as well lately though! And History time tends to be MUCH more indepth than any channel ive seen except maybe ones like fall of civilizations.
Clearly none of you have found the "Fall of civilazations podcast".
I'm a camera guy professionally and so don't really have a reason to be here. Doesn't mean I need one! The history of man kind and the things people have revered, the wars fought over resources or beliefs, the diversity of people's origins, and the ideas traded throughout... these things give context and with that a certain objectivity. At least for me. When non historians argue about who's land belongs to them, who's religion is correct, who's ideas are worthy, I like to look back at topics like the one covered in this video for some truth behind the matter. Or at least a step closer to truth than uneducated, radical claims so common in today's world. Bravo, well done, this video was beyond excellent!
The video is actually one of those ignorant political means who poison the honesty and the trully working history researchers.
This channel gives me the old History Channel vibes, Ancient Empires and the old documentaries. Weird place to be hit with nostalgia, considering it is History Time. Thank you for what you do, incredibly insightful and well explained.
You know what changed? CEOS who only care about their airhead wife and family. Who cares the shows they create are absolute crap the ratings are good (sarcasm). They care about being able to vacation to a mansion in Cape cod for the summer not the quality of crap they produce.

Wow lol for real tho this guys good
I think they were phonoeciens/ Philistines
I love finding historical documentaries on TH-cam, especially lengthy ones. Most are taken from TV but this, the fact that it's entirely made by you, that's fantastic! Kudos! You've gained a new subscriber!
Your videos are amazing, History Time! I've been studying the peoples of the ancient Mediterranean for several years now, primarily focused on the Etruscans (Tyrrhenians/Rasna/Rasenna) and their origins. I'm in no way a professional, but the Etruscans have fascinated me for over 15 years; so much so that I now have a sizable library dedicated to them. Your videos, especially this one on the Sea Peoples, gives all the various peoples of the area, of unknown or debated origins, their fair share of exposure and consideration. Thank you for all your hard work and may the ancient historians guide you through your journeys.
Etruscans are indeed fascinating to say the least
This documentary alone is such a huge accomplishment and yet you’ve made so many amazing films. You are so incredibly informative and present everything in such a simple and pleasing way. I can’t thank you enough for your work!
Wow, your way of telling this story while presenting the solid evidence for everything that you covered is absolutely incredible. Of all of the programs on the Sea Peoples out there (I've seen a bunch lately), this one is the Shahenshah of them all! Great job man, this one will forever be a History Time classic!
Give us a special on chariots CY! lol
I love how this documentary is framed in an almost apocalyptic way. It is made in such a way it almost feels like a story being told, not the few facts of the distant past we can find. Well done!
I don’t want to take anything away from other TH-cam creators who have also put hard work into their videos on the same subject but even newer ones don’t compare to this one, not only is it informative like the others but it’s greatly entertaining, watching again now for a second time.
I'll have to remember that line: "I didn't lose, I just started winning closer to home."

That's a quote from Egyptologist Prof Bob Brier.

@@kickassandchewbubblegum639 Ok, can't say if I agree or disagree but I feel you might have left this comment in the wrong place to be honest.
Just learned I was of Anatolian origin; I share the same Haplogroup with remnants between 9500 BC - 1200 BC, mainly between Hattusha and Troy. Then I get relatives in Caucasia, south Ukraine, Europe, Iran.. all dated between 800 BC ~ Present.
Something drove my paternal lineage out of Anatolia and it started 1200 BC. And this information brought me here. Didn’t know about such a big event in the history.
It's so fun when you're able to find tiny tidbits of information and piece together the puzzle of your ancestry. I traced back my ancestry to see they had come from Germany and had migrated to the US in 1710, which I later found was the German Palatine migration that was caused by war, famine, and severe winters. I had zero family history passed down telling me this, just worked it out by putting the puzzle together. Was super cool to learn. I should take a closer look I my DNA to see if I can find information like you mentioned and what it means.
That's awesome 👌

Amazing documentary about ancient history - the sea people, the late bronze age collapse. Interesting to watch till the end. Tnx4sharing.
I'm so wary of history (or "history") on youtube I had to sit down and do a bit of research about the topic and the channel before I committed to watching. I'm so glad I did - this was fabulous. Well sourced, fascinating, and well presented, and a period of history that's largely ignored, with an important focus on how interactions between different nations and struggles for resources shape history.

I fall asleep to this all the time. One day I’ll get through it all!
Some human voices are soothing, & others as painful as fingernails across a blackboard. In this Rothschild-manufactured era of "Agenda 2030" the Media is usually promoting fear, so it is solace to encounter voices that can help achieve healing sleep. Don't Forget: not necessary to listen all at one time - is divided neatly into various chapters.
This was, by far, the best, most comprehensive, and the most intriguing piece on the Late Bronze Age collapse that I've ever seen.
Thank you SO MUCH!
Appreciate the in depth histories of these people. Much better than a 40 minute History Channel doc
This is beyond what History Channel is capable of producing. With the History Channel doing this you would end up with the narrator asking surprising questions to every ridiculous speculation as if each one is a fact. I find it laughable and irritating at the same time. Watch the Oak Island series and you'll see what I mean. This is high quality content.
This is probably one of the best and most thorough pieces of info that I have ever seen or read involving the sea peoples. Fantastic job the creator did! Fantastic!
Your histories are breathtakingly awesome, friends! I have been a history-phile for many years and your presentations about the Phoenicians and this about the mysterious seal people are works for art and inspiration. Thank you SO much!
Listening to this for the 4th time now and I'm not even beginning to wear it out. This video alone beats every history class I ever took.
A one man crew, my god my man this is ten times better than anything one would find on the history channel bravo my man.
At 2.5 hrs, you almost have to. You can't humanly absorb all the info in one sitting. Lol.
Most thorough analysis of the Sea People ever.
The narrator sounds like Littlefinger, Pepe the Frog
Sea peeps for short

I really enjoy your documentaries. Everything about them, the material, the visual it’s all premium. Keep them coming and thanks for sharing.
CACAZOID HORDES THAT BROUGHT DOWN BLACK EGYPT.. JUST LIKE THEY COLONIZED AGAIN AFRICA IN THE 1800'S..
I recently started working from home. And you & David are my most cherished background "noise". I have gone through History of Universe, History of the Earth, and now History Time. I'm a philosophy major with a passion for cosmology, and history, you guys' work on any of these documentaries is just AMAZING! To quote David... "And so" I just want to let you both know how grateful I am for what you do ❤
Hi, I'm looking to work from home as well. What kind of work are u doing?
Already aware of the history of this period, I wondered how you could get 2.5 hours from it. I am so glad I watched. A fascinating and well presented documentary. Thank you.
I am ashamed that it has taken me this long to thank you most sincerely for your exquisite videos.
This last year has been rough for everyone, including me and your channel really helped me, not just as a wonderful distraction but to add perspective to the crisis we have been living under.
I attribute my Eureka! epiphany that this too shall pass to my own philosophical reasoning (Holla, Plato) of course.
But I never would have felt confident in my realization or reached that conclusion when I did if it weren't for your uploads.
And I strongly suspect that many people have had similar experiences thanks to you.
That's how impactful you are, Mr. Kelly! Chapeau!
wqt h the channel atlantean gardens. thats unbelivable too
@@nickkrikorian5909 Thank you for the recommendation! 😃
@@HamCubes also follow jonathan kleck he has decoded everything.
Your work for the historical things you teach are some of the best i ever came across in my 23 years of life… incredibly AMAZING work that you should always feel humbly proud of. Heck the truth in life is always the way to go🙏✝️good work amigo.
Your Bronze Age content is definitely the best on this platform, the narration is excellent. Keep up the ace work bro.
I have always been a military history buff, and usually more interested in 20th Century AD stuff, but this is absolutely fascinating. Great video man.
I’ve watched this multiple times and I cannot get over how beautifully you’ve put together all of this Information for us. Thank you! 💖
Couple of times a year I watch this documentary... its one of the best ever made.
Lol same
As a Maltese, I found your account on the sea people very interesting. I always suspected that Malta being in the center of the Mediterranean, with a natural safe harbour, must have contributed to early civilization even before the Bronze Age.
I suspect that when Stone Age people started to progress into a more complex society, and started to navigated, Malta provided a safe heaven for commerce and intellectual activity for anyone around the Mediterranean who had the knowledge and ability to navigate.
The amount of Neolithic temples on the Maltese Archipelago prove the strategic importance of these islands.
Although Malta is small in size, it was always considered important to those Nations that wanted to dominate the sea.
After these Neolithic temples came many others military powers here.
I do not exclude the possibility that Malta could have been the place for the sea people to conspire against Egypt, and perhaps some Phoenicians, after many centuries in now Lebanon, just return to their roots here in Malta in around 700BC.
Phoenicians I think
