Ahem
>>
>>18769999
Checked and I'll be damned
>>
>>18769982
He does the best breakdowns of these very niche topics like time travel into European medieval times
I wish he would do more Iranian history though, I believe that's his specialty

This video is literally killing me

>>18770006
I really don't like him for some reason
>>
>>18770031
I mean it's literally true, you don't need the wheel for civilisation. Geometry and formalised math is way more groundbreaking and actually useful. The reason libtards and chudsons hate him is because he's an academic that actually tries to do scholarly history. When libbies and chuddies try to do it just look at /his/ and judge the results.

Oh it's that guy KEK.

I've also noticed the response to people ridiculing him is always an appeal to authority. He's an academic; the haters are bigoted chuds who don't know about history. Not like Africa was largely a civilizational void before the Scramble for Africa. No it can't be that Africans are this far behind Europeans in large part because they were never ahead. Any notion of a regional character (not even a racial one) is immediately rejected out of fear of association with the supposed prime evil of history.

where are you gonna use a wheel

>>18770064

I wonder how the Europeans are going to use the wheel here.

ok

>I mean it's literally true, you don't need the wheel for civilisation
While that's true as we saw with the Incas, Aztecs and Mayans, you can hardly call that which so many of those African Kingdoms and Empires had "civilizations"
>>
>>18770063
>>they could've invented wheels
>>trust me on this one
>>they were CLEARLY intelligent
>>they just didn't want them
It's funny because with the Mesoamerican natives, there's actual proof they understood the concept of the wheel but didn't use it because of the geography of the places they lived in and not having huge domesticated animals
>>
>>18770063
This is why nobody takes chud history seriously, you are just as much an insult to civilised culture as are the seething lefties and liberals.
>>
>>18769982
Does Indy count? I actually didn't like him in the beginning because of the way he looked but he grew on me
>>
>>18770081
Indy doesn't write his own scripts and he kind of fell off after the WW1 series ended.
>>18770070
>kingdoms and empires
>not civilization
Do you want some specific rococo style painting of some guy looking up a skirt to qualify a civilization as being le real
>>
>>18770088
So what is your definition for a history youtuber then? Needs to be a solo effort or something? 0 outsourcing or teams
>>
>>18770091
He's a history YouTuber, but just not the best one
Making highly edited TV show tier videos is so much more lame than premodernist turning on the camera and talking at you for 20 minutes
>>
>>18770070
West Africa had many urbanized iron age kingdoms.
East Africa was controlled by worldly ocean faring traders.
Nothing embarrassing really for either.

>because Indy doesn't sit in his desk talking at you for 20 minutes while occassionally showing a map or photo of what he's talking about

Yes, you are all wrong. He is the principal /his/ youtuber.
>>
>>18770063
>they just didn't want them
This is literally true. Dhar Tichitt, the cradle of West-African culture, actually has art depicting the use of wheeled vehicles.
>>
>>18770006
So, this guy is actually a crypto-Nazi, right?
>>
>>18770130
He plays entire video clips as B-roll, has an intro card with a slick show title, and a fancy set
It's cringe
>>
>>18769982
He made me state seal flag pilled.
