Goddamnit Urumilki. You had one job
-
Compared to your normal content this is current events.

Carthage: "We have a rich and long his..." Rome" NOOOOOO "

Well I was going to be happy about this collab finally coming to fruition but after Atun Shei's cameo I'd rather go stare at a wall.
-
You can achieve a lot more and be free of anxiety, worry and depression when you realize people, civilizations, have gone before you and they screwed things up too. Enjoy life today friends.

Did not expect to see Atun-Shei Films make a cameo haha. His bizarre-dead pan humor always gets me and he has great history on his channel
-
The spoon mic is OP now
-
This is why, if I could go back in time, to a parallel dimension where everything is the same, I would be grabbing books out of Carthage and Alexandria like my life depended on it
-
So nice to see my name scroll by the tragically decapitated head of this video's protagonist, truly and unironically I tell you this is what I paid for.
-
the way you ended this mans career was cold bruh... damn
-
You gotta do a video about Ea-nasir, ancient Akkadian copper merchant who is the subject of the "Oldest Complaint Letter in the World"
-
I really love the illustrasions in your videos, the striped shadows making for a more text book feeling when watching. Ettore Mazza is truely a great artist.

"Father! What do you mean, 'If Uncle hadn't returned, you would have sacrificed me!'"
-
Carthage my hometown in northern Tunis.. the best place to be in the whole country
-
Pretty incredible to think that the Phoenicians sometimes sailed as far as the Congo delta
-
I see you upgraded your spoon mic, it sounds nice
-
To give some context to the sacrifice of children ,the greeks were surprised to find Egyptians raised all their children .Greeks and Roman's would leave unwanted children in the street to be taken for slavery or die .
-
I am sustained by the spoon mic.

Greetings from Malta! I watched an online presentation about that particular site which was very fascinating. The site itself is so deep that the poor marine archeologists end up working 15-20 minutes per day at the most! Although they do it in 2 successive waves. Also, the place Milo talks about is called Xlendi, and it's pronounced Shh-Lendi, just as a minor comment.
