These days, the History videos on YouTube can be produced in minutes with AI.
I spent over 1 year making this instead.

As a history lover, I wanted to create History Documentary that anyone can enjoy.
Whether you know nothing about history, or want to enjoy seeing humanity’s history in one (very large) sitting, I hope this video brings to life the Story of Humanity, one civilisation at a time!



I actually spent over 15 months on this video. I re-wrote, removed, and re-edited countless sections, so many times.
It'd mean a lot to hear your feedback!

Oh, and before you ask, no AI was used for the voiceover: he's a real person.

You had me at no AI

in the age of ai slop and corporatized modernity, seeing an actually human-made traditional history-documentary is genuinly refreshing

It is so refreshing to see something like this not being entirely AI generated.

You deserve major credit for making this on your own, its an absolute masterpiece.

Seeing that AI slop is taking over the world, a 4 hour hour history video by a human is honestly life freshing

It’s ridiculous how they have rewrote history and don’t even teach it accurately anymore.

Thank god there's still reason to consume YouTube content

I feel like I forgot everything I learned in school and am clueless about history. This was a great refresher to start from. Thank you so much!

I’m very suprised this don’t have over 1m views  this video is a masterpiece

Wow... This is awesome.
Can't believe I finished a 4hr YouTube video.
This should be recommended in history classes

This feels like it should be in a movie theater with the production quality

Greatest video ever❤ watched full in 4 days

I was just thinking I needed a new video to fall asleep to, this will be on repeat for weeks 😍

It's fascinating to think about how much of these ancient cities existed long before modern civilization. The reconstruction really helps put their scale into perspective.

i usually dont comment, but wow i really appreciate the amount of effort that must have gone into making such a long comprehensive video. i'd love to see more long form content like this is the future

This is exactly what I was looking for and more, it's amazing and so well done! The pacing is perfect, and the transitions between video, photo, and maps is excellent as well :D
Everything was so cohesive and worked great together 👌
Thank you so much!!! ❤

Took me 3 days to finish ❤ What an amazing piece of work. I will always come back to this to remind myself where it all began.

I’m shocked that somebody made this… good job!
