The fact that a one man team creates such high quality documentaries for FREE is such an underrated thing and deserves much more recognition.

This documentary just shows you don’t need millions and lots of producers to create something special, absolutely amazing

I don’t understand how this man hasn’t been recruited to make feature films. He absolutely kills it every time. Thank you 🙏 for your factual film donations to the world.

I love the way Peter narrates. He could make even the phone book into an EPIC SAGA.

I’ve spent years chasing answers in documentaries, podcasts, even ancient texts—and none of it hit me the way The Obscured Principles book by Dorian Caine did. It’s like it was written for the few who are ready to break the illusion and remember who they really are.

It’s amazing. He’s not only a great writer and narrator but everything is put together so well. The music always fits, the production always looks incredible. Plus he’s just a great story teller

Egil Skallagrimson(Skullcleaver) was the Viking age most famous or infamous berserker. Reportedly fought in the Battle of Brunanburh in the service of King Æthelstan; his brother Þórólfr dies there, for which Egil receives two chests of silver from Æthelstan in compensation. He killed his first at the age of 7, cleaving the 12 year old boys skull with an axe after loosing a game. earning his name skull cleaver. His mother praised him and said he would become a good Viking. Giving him a ship and crew. Interesting man as he also was a poet. One of his poems:
One of the translations to english:

"Thus spake my mother
That for me should they buy
A barque and beauteous oars
To go forth with vikings.
Stand in the stern,
Steer a dear vessel,
Hold course for a haven,
Hew down many foemen."

He got his own Saga. Egil saga.

Most people's lives revolve around their next pay day. Mine revolves around the next history time vid! Long live pete kelly!! 🙏

One time, when visiting York, we sent our sons, who were quite young, to Viking school. They were taught to scream and yell and to beat their shields. The idea was to strike fear into their enemies and make them wet their pants in fear. Wonderful times.

"When Ragnar was killed, he said The piglings would squeal if they knew the plight of the boar. Now they are here. Tusking and snouting in England."
One of my favorite Dan Carlin lines.

I am impressed after watching The Last Kingdom. They actually got a lot of the plot historically accurate. It's crazy that a lot of this actually happened!

What boggles my mind is that you are a one-man team. Bravo, mate. Well done

@shannonhunt6980 4 years ago

I think it's so awesome that you travel the world and show and tell people about all the amazing history that the world has to offer! It amazes me that you do this basically on your own, keep on keeping on man, these videos are so awesome and well made! You should get your own history show for real!

@byoobyoo1280 1 year ago

I love how you keep adding captions for the names you mention plus dates making it easier to follow the timeline of all this epic history.

@nole8923 4 years ago

If the history channel still did history then Pete the narrator of this channel would be a great creator/narrator for them. He’s better than anyone on the history.

One of the best channels on YouTube is an understatement. With all the nonsense garbage people make nowadays, this is refreshing, interesting and educational. All of your videos are composed in such a professional manner, you’d think it’s a TV documentary. They should pay you to use these documentaries in schools.. Great channel, looking forward to your next documentary👍🏼‼️

@Joe_P839 2 years ago

Fantastic! Honestly the highest quality history documentary you can find. One man show? What a legend! Thank you Pete👍

A nice little documentary to excite me for today's world cup game. England v Norway

I would love love love for you to make some videos about the everyday lives of people in ancient times and their cultures. Many documentaries concentrate on the wars throughout history but I find that to be depressing.

I'd love for you to create separate videos for early, middle and late ancient Egypt about the everyday lives of people, culture, pharaohs, the tidbits and snapshots of daily life from written records that survive, etc.

A video about prehistory in general and the earliest villages and settlements around the middle east and about the many mysteries related to prehistory would be fascinating. There's so much mystery about prehistory because people didn't have a written language to leave us with the details of their lives.
