"it's a star✨"
"is that the sun?"
local vampire is confused but correct "

"I love dinosaurs!"

"Here comes a meteor!"

The comedic timing.

"The sun is a deadly laser." Some vampire: "I can relate."

You could make a religion out of this

I can't explain it but "the sun is a deadly laser" line still tickles my brain in just the right way every time I  hear it.

12:00 the Maya very accurately mapped and tracked the movements and cycles of the celestial bodies, and calculated the exact timing and positions of the sun, moon, planets, and stars throughout the year. Their math was so spot on that their measurement of the calendar year was more accurate than the European calendars of the time, and they correctly predicted solstices, equinoxes, and even some eclipses. Keep in mind, all this was done through naked-eye observations!

It’s a truly fascinating piece of history that might be overlooked, like many indigenous histories. But I’m always glad to share some of my people’s wondrous accomplishments 🇲🇽

"Rape" has an older meaning of "to seize and take away by force", which is what the Africa thing is referring to. Nanking, on the other hand... it's using both meanings.

7:05 Yes for both questions.

14:45 “Mississippi” was what the Native Americans called that region. The state itself wasn’t formed until 1817.

The white flag with all the fleur de lis was the French empire and the flag with what they called the burgundy cross was the Spanish empire

I call this video “Getting flashbanged with history for 19 minutes”.

12:05
They were the Best astrologists at the time
They also independently developed the mathematical concept of zero

"By the way, where the hell are we?"
"Hi, you're on a rock, floating in space..."

18:04 yes it was called an indulgence
On the opposite side was excommunication which basically made it so you'd be guaranteed to go to hell
The church had a lot of control over a fear ridden hyper religious population

25:10 in the vid? 2. In history? Girl it’s a lot and it’s bad

23:11 the Maine was a ship named after the us state of the same name
The us blamed Spain for it's sinking even tho there was no concrete evidence just to have a reason to go to war
Most historians nowadays agree it was an accidental explosion that the US used as a reason for war

9:27 war elephants They were used in warfare
Most famously by Hannibal barca during his invasion of the roman republic
In India itself gifting someone a White elephant was considered a passive aggressive way to ruin then since elephants needed a lot of food and being albino it made having them even more difficult while giving nothing back and since they're holy animals they also can't just get Rid of them
It's where the phrase "white elephant" comes from

20:29 I enjoy that it makes her look like she's saying the quote

The elephants were war elephants that’s why it was a useful deal
Also Mississippi is mentioned bc it’s one of the few examples of native Americans in the US and Canada becoming settled people’s rather than nomadic. They’d abandoned the settled lifestyle by the time Europeans arrived and we don’t know why but they left behind massive earthworks from when the people on the area used to live a settled lifestyle (a lot of them were unfortunately destroyed when building the railroads but a couple of the earthworks survived)

20:43: The only good and interesting part of History that feels like a myth, epic and legendary fiction in itself.

Sky: idk anything
Also Sky (before Bill came in): ozone layer!
