    I'm so glad I stumbled onto your channel. This is amazingly well done.

    Please make more content about truly ancient history. It is one of the harder topic to dwell into and these videos really help not only to spark interest but to understand the bigger picture. Also can't wait for the inevitable Gilgamesh ;)

    I still don't understand why people today criticize those in the past for their superstitions and beliefs, and are called unintelligent when their laws and architecture are used to this very day. Religious figures of the Abrahamic religions and those in Asia like Buddha lived at times when technology was basic but are still sophisticated even to today's standards. Their philosophy and ideals seem backwards today but actually it is very deep and not many can grasp the truth. Many fight for their belief/religion, or the lack thereof, but each made a great impact in the lives of people today and most don't see it. All they see are prehistoric people who had nothing better to do yet history repeats for in fact those who criticize people in the past have nothing better to do at all nor hold any honor in comparison.
