I'm 25 minutes in to arguably the deepest and best dive into these cultures that I have ever watched. Bro, You Sir are absolutely the best channel going. It might take a minute between episodes...(Like a trip to a museum or an actual trip to the area of study). I think we are O.K. with that. Respect.
The Chimu sounds like a Steve Martin comedy. Bumbling but lucky dude shows up in a fancy boat, gets mistaken for a god, and decides to roll with it for a few generations 😂
To me it almost sounds like a Polynesian chief and some tribesmen ended up getting blown off course to the Peruvian coast, being mistaken as a god by the locals and establishing a Polynesian ruling class. That’s my head canon even though there’s no proof of this lol.
This channel has opened my eyes to how complex and advanced the ancient Americas were, and how much my education failed to cover this fascinating subject.
I was super excited for your section on Purépecha. My family are purépechas, and my dad recently took me to Pátzcuaro and all the sites. I learned a lot from your video and the language origin has always been interesting to me. I hope we learn more about the origin of my people someday.
Wow, I'm so glad that real Purupechas are watching! I hope we find out more about your people's origins too. I would suggest looking into the Chupicuaro culture I briefly mentioned, as some sources indicate that they might ultimately be the ancestors of the Purupecha. Beyond the interesting Classic Period sites I listed off, there's also an even older early Formative site known as El Opeño in northwest Michoacan, which might date to as far back as 1450 BC and yielded an olmec-esque figurine and held elaborate family crypts graves with passages and stairs (like theshaft tombs of the rest of west mexico) containing decapitated heads and skeletons painted red. There's more info here: www.famsi.org/research/williams/wm_earlyperiod.html And in the Zacapu area just north of Lake Patzcauro there was the Loma alta burial tradition which witnessed sunken plaza and platform architecture in the early classic (250-350), with elites also loosely tied to teotihuacan like at the other sites I mentioned. This paper argues that the Purupecha are indeed South American in origin, but I think the evidence it presents is a bit flimsy. www.jstor.org/stable/215553?searchText=&searchUri=%2Faction%2FdoBasicSearch%3FQuery%3Dtarascan%26so%3Drel&ab_segments=0%2Fbasic_search_gsv2%2Fcontrol&searchKey=&refreqid=fastly-default%3A37faf51b127c2ca73b397ce7654382e2 This paper also talks about what little is known of the early origins of the Purupecha: www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt1b7x60z.13?searchText=tarascan&searchUri=%2Faction%2FdoBasicSearch%3FQuery%3Dtarascan%26so%3Drel&ab_segments=0%2Fbasic_search_gsv2%2Fcontrol&refreqid=fastly-default%3A0e174c3758b0f6931c70b81d47f47cdf&seq=5
@@thepharaohnerd7235 Thank you so much for the info! I shared this with my dad and he's grateful for the information. He's very proud of our heritage but it's hard to find good information that isn't just passed down word of mouth. For example , we were were just near El Opeño for a picnic in front of Presa De La Luz in May. He told me about the site but we didn't have time to visit and I didn't realize the significance of it. I'll check it out next time. If you are ever in the area my family would be more than happy to show you the sites! Thanks for helping keep our culture alive.
As someone currently living in Duitama, where one of their most important leaders used to live (cacique Tundama) it is pretty cool seeing such a well made video about our ancestors, the Muisca. As you said, they are everything but forgotten here.
I love your videos, is there any way you could make entries about ancient Balkan populations, Pelasgians, Illyrians, Thracians, Dacians, I feel like they are quite rarely mentioned anywhere
I think its amazing how different of a path human society went in the americas due to the lack of domesticateable draft animals like cows and horses. They still build hugely impressive structures and complexes, but did it entirely by hand without even using wheels (outside of toys anyway, so they knew about wheels obviously they just didnt have animals to pull a wagon regardless, unless you wanna try chariot combat pulled by a couple of llamas lol which wouldve been a fun sight im sure)
Ahh, never been this early to a PN video before. Stuck at work, so I'm relying on this comment reminding me to watch in ~2 hours when I finish. Huge fan of your work ❤
You do such an amazing job dude, I've been binge-watching all your videos over the past few weeks and I'm absolutely shocked that you aren't bigger. Keep up the amazing work man!
No joke. The word "grimdark" comes from Warhammer 40k, and various space marine chapters, particularly the Mortifactors, are very fond of parading the corpses of their heroic predecessors in battle. Stormcast Eternals, the "marines" of Warhammer AoS, even have a special dude called Lord-Relictor whose job is to haul around the mummy of a great hero to inspire his comrades.
Dude I’m grateful for you and the channel, I appreciate you and the very obscure and concealed pieces of knowledge you bring forth from the depths my boy
Fun fact! While born Lesane Parish Crooks, at age one he was renamed Tupac Amaru Shakur. He was named after Túpac Amaru II, a descendant of the last Incan ruler, who was executed in Peru in 1781 after his revolt against Spanish rule.
Oh yes. The late 20th century attempt by African descendants of U.S.A. slaves to artificially (re)form a cultural identity was a mess, but it was certainly broadly well-intentioned enough to honor the memories of oppressed peoples everywhere. And then there's the Black Muslims and Black Israelites...

hey man, you did a really good job with the muiscans, although sadly most things we know about them come from how the spanish stored some part of their oral tradition and how they saw and interpreted their society. Even the name muisca is given by the spanish, making it so we don't really know how they used to call themselves. I'd also like to point out that, yes, even though most muiscans eventually integrated through mestizaje some are still living in small indigenous communities to this day, there are even 2 inside Bogotá itself as the city has expanded a lot. I had the chance to visit those communities and the indigenous university in Popayán thanks to an ethnology course my major (social sciences) gives, they're doing what they can to preserve what's left from their culture and develop themselves from it. Finally, in my uni (UPTC, the main one in Tunja) a lot of ancient muisca graves have been found in the process of the making of some of our buildings, they're like giant jars that functioned as coffins, you can find a recreation of them and how they were found in the local museum of my uni alongside some statues and other things that constantly remind us that we're studying in what used to be indigenous land
Wow, that's incredibly interesting, thank you for informing me of all that! I'm really glad that actual Colombians are watching, ever since I visited Colombia last spring it's been very close to my heart. Next time I visit, I'll definitely check out Tunja!
Awesome series to go through. I grew up in Phoenix and my parents made sure I knew whose land we were living on, so we used to visit Hohokam sites. Phoenix is sustained by canals that run through the city. These modern canals are built on top of Hohokam canals, making Phoenix one of the few cities in the US that utilizes engineering from 1000+ years ago. As you mentioned, sites in Phoenix showcase the original Hohokam canals as well. These places are also scattered with pottery and artifacts. As a kid, I often looked for “cool rocks” in the desert dirt at these sites that turned out to be pottery shards or grinding stones. It’s a little sad that these artifacts are just left lying there in sites that (literally) border modern suburban houses.
Hey man I just wanted to let you know that these videos played a part in resparking my passion for history. Im now going through the process of using my GI bill to get a bachelor's in history to teach at the high school level. Cheers.
That's legitimately so awesome to hear, I'm actually trying to get a bachelor's in history myself at the moment! I wouldn't be making this series if it weren't for real history lovers like you
Woah I never considered that the “Arumbaya fetish” from Tintin could have been modeled based on a real artifact, until I saw 2:00. That’s has to be the source!? Pretty neat. It is interesting how the mind stores the most benign information, locked away until the right trigger comes along. (Watched Tintin over 10 years ago)
The trading empire of Manila is totally forgotten... Highly recommend (Transforming Manila: China, Islam and Spain in a Global Port City - by Ethan Hawkley) and (Philippine Gold: Treasures of Forgotten Kingdoms)... It's really sad because ancient civilizations in the Philippines have been totally forgotten.
wait I TRIED TO LOOK UP STUFF ABT THE CHIMU FOR A COLLEGE PROJECT. its honestly really interesting when u actually read and understand it yourself. a lot of this stuff- on a surface level my ignorant brain couldnt fathom the amount of other groups of people that were conquered or assimilated into one we're most familiar with. like today in our lives and where we live, elements from all sorts of backgrounds, stories, individuality, customs, and stuff like that varies from person to person. especially the textiles. aint it insane how through art you can depict a specific specialized style that can be traced back to your roots and where you picked it up from.
Man, I love your work. Hope you can keep telling the history of peoples unknown to other sides of the world. I'm from Michoacán, of Matlatzinca ancestry. My grandparents' town was founded by Matlatzinca refugees fleeing from the Aztec conquest. I'm Flabbergasted.
As much as I love and respect the attention to detail and depth you go into some of these civs in particular (shout out bell boys) , I think maybe covering more but having less depth makes sense the more obscure they get cuz the information we have is so little. Maybe saving the longer deep dives into the particularly interesting civs
True, I want to cover more civilizations per episode, but I have a hard time cutting the scripts I make, which get really long because I obsess over doing as much research as possible
@@thepharaohnerd7235 I mean you'll eventually cover them all I guess but maybe you can have an uncut unlisted version in the description for people that want to know more where you say everything in the script and then cut some stuff out for the main series video so you can fit more civs in the same hour or so. Keep up the good work ❤
@@codymoon7552 Haha I appreciate that but I don't think anyone would want to hear me jabber on without editing - I even surprise myself with how much editing I have to do to lol
I totally thought you said "snow milk" instead of "snow melt", and I was thinking "actually that's a nifty name cos it's often aerated and have minerals that makes it a bit cloudy like milk" !!
10:20 I'm kinda curious actually: given the majority of the bodies found were children (or women), do you know how related Chimu sacrifice was to the Incan version of the practice we have contemporary records of? Since that was primarily young boys and teenage girls (often the kids of local chiefs) being taken off to Cuzco to be drugged unconscious and then clubbed to death, which seems kinda similar to what's going on here? it just seems a little much to immediately jump to flower war comparisons is all
Actually we have, read very very early accounts like Francisco de Jerez or Pedro Sancho de la Hoz, they mention that the natives told them that around the coast of Tumbes (because it was the most familiar coastal city at the time), willing kids were sacrificed with heart removals, it is one things they consider in their recurrent argument (of the time) that coast people=cruel, submissive, and unclean, while mountain people=civilized, dominant and modest (despite Incas also sacrificing kids but they don't mention it, maybe because they were still unfamiliar with the Incas proper and sacrifices in the Andes region were way more common in the adyacent north coastal valleys than other areas (as attested archeologically, like the video mentions the recent discoveries, but Chan Chan has many smaller sacrifices of women and servants and the like in the ciudadelas, that have been being discovered since archeological excavations started like a century ago, no other precolonial city in Peru is comparable in that), partially because the north coast of Peru was way more populated and urbanized than other places (usually), the Inca period was kind of an exception to the rule. Other than that, one difference was the type, the Chimu favored heart removal, which had been increasingly becoming popular in the northern Andes at the time, maybe because of Central/Mesoamerican influence via Colombia, while the Inca like their predecessors in the Titicaca area were fond of a blow to the head or suffocation.
yo man sorry if its annoying and i know i told you before but i really need you to continue the pharaoh series or atleast make ones on the main dynasties , man. i need it to survive at this point 😭. please man
I know you might have this iceberg set in stone but there is one civilization that I think is very much worthy of your time and research. The Moriori people of the Chatham Islands have a fascinating (and tragic) history with incredible and unique cultural heritage, crafts and practices including devout pacifism . There are currently only 700~ Moriori people left that fight everyday for their people's story to be heard.
Not only did you get shots from colombia but fucking WENT THERE!??! You are truly an absolute unit of a person, as someone who is immensely agorophobic (I.E afraid of traveling as well as flying), just the idea of that scares the actual fuck out of me. You continue to impress with every part of this. I've also been really consuming stuff about the ancient americas ever since FFXIV had its ancient americas themed expansion, so this is really neat!
I was both fascinated and bored the whole time. Granted, it's 2am, but i love this type of information. Honestly, i'm partially illiterate because of all the highly produced/edited content available. It's not your fault.
Amazing video as always! Just one note though, Purépecha does not mean “the latecomers.” It is actually a Hispanicized version of the Purépecha word “P’orhépicha” which actually just means “commoners.”
One THING most of people DONT know in Brazil have a ancient road between city of Santos crossing in The middle of Pantanal , Paraguay , Bolívia reaching Cuzco and lima in peru , They callead "PEABIRU" Road , since 1500s portuguese Explorers and Priests have been told about that , even a inca axe have been found in Hand of ancient "Tupi" tribe , when They ask where The axe come FROM , They Said who came FROM a high Montain in middle of jungle Far Lands covered whit Ice on top , that's is Crazy mate , If happen you should talk about that in Future vídeos , They callead PEABIRU Road 😮 , and ancient phoenicians scribs in "Pedra da Gávea " , or even "Pedra do ingá" have The SAME old alfabeth ... Proto phoenicians, talks a Lot great vídeo ❤

wait I TRIED TO LOOK UP STUFF ABT THE CHIMU FOR A COLLEGE PROJECT. its honestly really interesting when u actually read and understand it yourself. a lot of this stuff- on a surface level my ignorant brain couldnt fathom the amount of other groups of people that were conquered or assimilated into one we're most familiar with. like today in our lives and where we live, elements from all sorts of backgrounds, stories, individuality, customs, and stuff like that varies from person to person. especially the textiles. aint it insane how through art you can depict a specific specialized style that can be traced back to your roots and where you picked it up from.
Yeah, it really is amazing how much history has let up to every aspect of the modern world
I could just kick myself for being a whole day late to this video
Please continue your series about all pharaohs!!!
Man, I love your work. Hope you can keep telling the history of peoples unknown to other sides of the world.
I'm from Michoacán, of Matlatzinca ancestry. My grandparents' town was founded by Matlatzinca refugees fleeing from the Aztec conquest. I'm Flabbergasted.
That's awesome, I'm so glad that people like you who are genuinely connected to the ancient peoples I talk about in these video are watching them!
Tarascans are so forgotten historians forgot our actual name (Purepecha)
more great work as usual
Thank you!
Keep up the good work brother! Canadian subscriber!
WOOO NEW PHARAOH NERD VIDEO
thats crazy i just binge watched all the other ones like last week
I can see this guy becoming a staple of world history classes
Babe, another obscure history iceberg video just dropped
LETS GOOOOOOOOO PART 5
we are so back
Looking at the recommendation from other videos I watched: oh dang another video dropped!
I love this shit. Thank you for all the work you put into your videos
I should thank you for watching, I wouldn't be able to make these sorts of videos if it wasn't for the amazing enthusiasm my viewers have for history.
We’re so back
As much as I love and respect the attention to detail and depth you go into some of these civs in particular (shout out bell boys) , I think maybe covering more but having less depth makes sense the more obscure they get cuz the information we have is so little. Maybe saving the longer deep dives into the particularly interesting civs
True, I want to cover more civilizations per episode, but I have a hard time cutting the scripts I make, which get really long because I obsess over doing as much research as possible
@@thepharaohnerd7235 I mean you'll eventually cover them all I guess but maybe you can have an uncut unlisted version in the description for people that want to know more where you say everything in the script and then cut some stuff out for the main series video so you can fit more civs in the same hour or so. Keep up the good work ❤
@thepharaohnerd7235 Bro just yap for 8 hours and post it. No editing, no cuts, just facts. I would watch the hell out of that
@@codymoon7552 Haha I appreciate that but I don't think anyone would want to hear me jabber on without editing - I even surprise myself with how much editing I have to do to lol
I totally thought you said "snow milk" instead of "snow melt", and I was thinking "actually that's a nifty name cos it's often aerated and have minerals that makes it a bit cloudy like milk" !!
10:20 I'm kinda curious actually: given the majority of the bodies found were children (or women), do you know how related Chimu sacrifice was to the Incan version of the practice we have contemporary records of? Since that was primarily young boys and teenage girls (often the kids of local chiefs) being taken off to Cuzco to be drugged unconscious and then clubbed to death, which seems kinda similar to what's going on here? it just seems a little much to immediately jump to flower war comparisons is all
Actually we have, read very very early accounts like Francisco de Jerez or Pedro Sancho de la Hoz, they mention that the natives told them that around the coast of Tumbes (because it was the most familiar coastal city at the time), willing kids were sacrificed with heart removals, it is one things they consider in their recurrent argument (of the time) that coast people=cruel, submissive, and unclean, while mountain people=civilized, dominant and modest (despite Incas also sacrificing kids but they don't mention it, maybe because they were still unfamiliar with the Incas proper and sacrifices in the Andes region were way more common in the adyacent north coastal valleys than other areas (as attested archeologically, like the video mentions the recent discoveries, but Chan Chan has many smaller sacrifices of women and servants and the like in the ciudadelas, that have been being discovered since archeological excavations started like a century ago, no other precolonial city in Peru is comparable in that), partially because the north coast of Peru was way more populated and urbanized than other places (usually), the Inca period was kind of an exception to the rule. Other than that, one difference was the type, the Chimu favored heart removal, which had been increasingly becoming popular in the northern Andes at the time, maybe because of Central/Mesoamerican influence via Colombia, while the Inca like their predecessors in the Titicaca area were fond of a blow to the head or suffocation.
So ready 🙌
I've been waiting for this!!! yay yay
Best channel best series ffs!
Thank you so much!
@@thepharaohnerd7235 No, thank you!!
These icebergs get deeper and deeper 😊
dang my ancestor guzman was a real menace
8:41 who named that lake 😂😂
Chimu just sounds like a colonizer who said "hey you know what why not"😭
Bro thank you.
Thank you for watching! Also, you have an excellent pfp, which saint is that?
@@thepharaohnerd7235 It is a picture of the Apostle Thomas. Founder of my denomination, the Church of the East!
I'm surprised you didn't include Bactro-Margian civilization
Please do more videos on the out of place artifacts!
I'm right in the middle of making the next instalment of the Out of Place Artifacts series - hopefully it'll be out in a couple of weeks!
Awesome, looking forward to it
Mom get the camera another iceberg video dropped
The Inca ruler Tupac made me laugh
yo man sorry if its annoying and i know i told you before but i really need you to continue the pharaoh series or atleast make ones on the main dynasties , man. i need it to survive at this point 😭. please man
I know you might have this iceberg set in stone but there is one civilization that I think is very much worthy of your time and research.
The Moriori people of the Chatham Islands have a fascinating (and tragic) history with incredible and unique cultural heritage, crafts and practices including devout pacifism . There are currently only 700~ Moriori people left that fight everyday for their people's story to be heard.
Cant wait !!!!
Not only did you get shots from colombia but fucking WENT THERE!??!
You are truly an absolute unit of a person, as someone who is immensely agorophobic (I.E afraid of traveling as well as flying), just the idea of that scares the actual fuck out of me. You continue to impress with every part of this.
I've also been really consuming stuff about the ancient americas ever since FFXIV had its ancient americas themed expansion, so this is really neat!
I think we need already a new part
As soon as he said the video was going to be about the Americas, I knew human sacrifice would take up a good quarter of it.
You should cover the Guanche and the Canary Islands!
Babe wake up, TPN posted
I was both fascinated and bored the whole time. Granted, it's 2am, but i love this type of information. Honestly, i'm partially illiterate because of all the highly produced/edited content available. It's not your fault.
Keep it up! You’re next up
YESSSSS!!! FINALLY!!!! I LOVE YOU KING!!!
good stuff dude
Amazing video as always! Just one note though, Purépecha does not mean “the latecomers.” It is actually a Hispanicized version of the Purépecha word “P’orhépicha” which actually just means “commoners.”
One THING most of people DONT know in Brazil have a ancient road between city of Santos crossing in The middle of Pantanal , Paraguay , Bolívia reaching Cuzco and lima in peru , They callead "PEABIRU" Road , since 1500s portuguese Explorers and Priests have been told about that , even a inca axe have been found in Hand of ancient "Tupi" tribe , when They ask where The axe come FROM , They Said who came FROM a high Montain in middle of jungle Far Lands covered whit Ice on top , that's is Crazy mate , If happen you should talk about that in Future vídeos , They callead PEABIRU Road 😮 , and ancient phoenicians scribs in "Pedra da Gávea " , or even "Pedra do ingá" have The SAME old alfabeth ... Proto phoenicians, talks a Lot great vídeo ❤
