This is very well done. I really like it when I see a presentation of information I largely already know in a fashion that results in me better understanding a subject.

Shit, I've been meaning to send you to that channel.  :D

Eastory does great work in general. Most of those vids are worth watching due to the level of detail alone, nevermind the clear structure.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

QuoteIn our terrestrial view of things, the speed of light seems incredibly fast. But as soon as you view it against the vast distances of the universe, it's unfortunately very slow. This animation illustrates, in realtime, the journey of a photon of light emitted from the surface of the sun and traveling across a portion of the solar system, from a human perspective.

I've taken liberties with certain things like the alignment of planets and asteroids, as well as ignoring the laws of relativity concerning what a photon actually "sees" or how time is experienced at the speed of light, but overall I've kept the size and distances of all the objects as accurate as possible. I also decided to end the animation just past Jupiter as I wanted to keep the running length below an hour.

I'm sure you personally do.

(Also, oral history is not hearsay).

True: "hearsay" is a meaningless term outside of a legal setting (where it means something like 'any statement, written or oral, made outside of court and introduced into evidence in court for the proof of that statement' - usually but not always inadmissible). Probably what he meant to say was 'not reliable, an urban myth', though the reliability of oral history varies greatly with context.

Invicta is a great channel about ancient history. They've used the new tourist mode in AssCreed: Odyssey to give a detailed tour of the Parthenon:

QuoteLet's visit the famous Pathenon of Athens in the discovery mode for Assassin's Creed Odyssey! In this video I provide a guided tour of the site while discussing greek architecture, religious practices, mythology, and daily life. I really loved doing this educational tour in a virtual Parthenon and do home to make more content in Assassin's Creed Odyssey Discovery mode.

Pretty awesome video Syt!
