congrats on the sponsorship I honestly hope more game companies would advertise their game through quick education/background like this, especially from a small youtuber like yourself :)
The Nile was fertile and provided many a loot box to the growing civilization yet the loot boxes often contained useless items, as well. As time passed, the loot boxes began to give nothing of value and Egyptian civilization never recovered.
Victor Entente *Spanish divide and conquer everyone... *Aguinaldo betraying his people.... *Diosdado dying... *Marcos betraying his people... *Duterte betraying his people... Yeah, and I don't think its looking pretty for our country as a happy plot.
I love you for making this!!! I was so confused when I started seeing all the Greek and romans stuff in origins as I I was just expecting Egyptian stuff, we'll done good sir, everyone needs to watch this before playing!
Great video, glad to see you're growing like this. It's nice to see people taking this much interest in history, especially when it's presented in a game. (Whether it be accurate or not, however.) Still one of my favorite history channels.
This was obviously a big commercial for Assassins Creed, but that didn't make it any less enjoyable to watch. Keep making deals like this, especially if it keeps the content flowing!
Lemme tell you that I have never enjoyed playing a game so much like this one before. I'm extremely passionate about Ancient Egypt, whether if it's its history, people, customs, architecture, language, theology, fashion, nature, etc, I just cannot get enough of it. Then this game came along and all of my dreams (okay, almost all of my dreams) had come true. I have more than 700 hours of playtime, replayed the game 4 times, and on the current run I have spent around 250 hours despite not completing the entire map. How is that possible? I just like to take in every single moment while playing it. I don't go around running and completing missions, I move through the villages at a walking pace and enjoy the view, look at what people are doing, sit down on benches and take screenshots. I have taken more than 2000 at this point, I cleaned a whole bunch of them but have approximately 45 GB of photos. Call me a fool but I really *really* love Origins. Can't wait to replay the DLCs as well and finally go through Discovery. It's just so heartwarming and so much fun.
I am usually disgusted by paid promotions but your were honest about it and you've previously said that you were a fan of AC, I imagine that you must be really happy about getting to promote something you like in a way that you find fun. I am happy for you.
I like the non-promotional ones too, but I actually COMMEND you for doing this, it's a smart way to get paid, short enough not to get annoying, and stays on topic.
Is this what kids call trolling these days? res.cloudinary.com/teepublic/image/private/s--5HdW1yHz--/t_Preview/b_rgb:36538b,c_limit,f_jpg,h_630,q_90,w_630/v1496678725/production/designs/1647339_1.jpg
That's probably the only reason I still buy the Assassin's Creed games at this point. Ubisoft have a monopoly on historical open world games at the moment....Just like Creative Assembly has a monopoly on historical real time battle simulators. God damn it, we need more competition!
I have been a huge assassin creed fans for a long time(I even bought the boks and shit). I kinda dident want to buy the game, but your charm and that sexy accent has turned me around. Good job mate
The Ancient Egyptian language is NOT a dead language. It not only survives as Coptic Egyptian, but also in related languages such as Wolof (Senegal) and Yoruba (Nigeria). If this fact is kept in mind, one cannot drift into spurious speculations. Kemet: The Original Name of Egypt The oldest, official name for Egypt, by the Ancient Egyptians themselves, is Kmt (Keme) or Black. The contemporary Egyptian (Coptic) words for Egypt are (depending on the particular dialect): Kame, Keme, Kimi, and Kheme - all of which mean Black. Also in Coptic Egyptian we have, kem, kame, kmi, kmem, kmom or “to be black.” Also what other nations and people Name there Empire after dirt. Is that the best you people can come up with is Soil lol. The Ancient Egyptians referred to themselves as Kmtjw (Kemetu) and Kmmw (Kmemu) or Black people (In contemporary Egyptian: Kmemou=Black people). In Wolof, Khem means “burnt to black.” Stop denying it you know they are black there is no such thing as a “Caucasian tanned” A white person cant turn black, two white people can not produce a black baby, a baby with Melanin. Nor if they lived in Africa for a thousand years, nor could there generations of children turn black in the Sun. A white person cant turn black, two white people can not produce a black baby, a baby with Melanin. Nor if they lived in Africa for a thousand years, nor could there generations of children turn black in the Sun. It's a misconception to believe that the Sun can make you turn black. That's not true it's all in genetics, the Melanin has to start from somewhere. The melanin is what makes us have brown skin. Caucasians have little to no melanin, this is why when the Sun hits their skin they get a sunburn and to much exposer to the sun can lead to skin cancer. Which can become fatal. White people in poverty or stricken with no food, water and even in the sun for to long can not turn brown or black. goo.gl/images/ki9V9b goo.gl/images/FCZFaV goo.gl/images/Hr14Mm goo.gl/images/wNXcS2 This blacking or browning of the skin doesn't happen to Ashkanazi or white people when put in poverty or in the sun for to long. There skin turns red, then tans a little or not at all, then over time the skin begins to pill off or blister up. Also note getting a natural tan can not turn you black or brown like in the images maybe a light brown color but most of the time red. The only way someone tans dark is if they already posses melanin which white People don’t hence the pale skin. The only way some white people turn brown or black is through spray tanning. goo.gl/images/ktVUmK goo.gl/images/iv2YnU goo.gl/images/VeoJk6 goo.gl/images/R8r9de Spray tanning and other chemicals of that nature did not exist 2000 years ago not even 200 years ago. Conclusion, white people are not the people shown in the images. They are not “tanned Caucasians” because they can’t get that dark. The people in the images are black get over it and man up. White people are white ✊🏻 And black people are technically many shades of brown ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 We call people black because they have melanin. White people can not tan to a brown or black skin tone. You people turn red then get sunburns and for to long blisters and cancer. Stop claiming to be brown and black you people just simple don’t have melanin. Learn about melanin by the way.

Herodotus states in a few passages that the Egyptians were black/dark. According to most translations, Herodotus states that a Greek oracle was known to be from Egypt because she was "black", that the natives of the Nile region are "black with heat", and that Egyptians were "black skinned with woolly hair". Lucian observes an Egyptian boy and notices that he is not merely black, but has thick lips. Diodorus Siculus mentioned that the Aethiopians considered the Egyptians a colony. Appollodorus, a Greek, calls Egypt the country of the black footed ones. Aeschylus, a Greek poet, wrote that Egyptian seamen had "black limbs." Greeks sometimes referred to Egyptians as Aethiopians - not to be confused with inhabitants of the modern-day nation of Ethiopia who were instead referred to as Abyssinians or Habesha and their land as Abyssinia. The famous and ancient Greek historian Herodotus (who is known as the father of history) visited Egypt and wrote concerning the Egyptians: "They have burnt skin, flat noses, thick lips, and wooly hair" (Herodotus, Book 2, p. 100, translated by George Rawlinson, New York: Tudor, 1928). It's been discovered that the embalming process straightened and, in some cases, changed the color of hair found among the entombed Pharaohs. Gaston Maspero states that "by the almost unanimous testimony of ancient [Greek] historians, they [Ancient Egyptians] belonged to the African race, which settled in Ethiopia." Simson Najovits states that Herodotus "made clear ethnic and national distinctions between Aigyptios (Egyptians) and the peoples whom the Greeks referred to as Aithiops (Ethiopians)." While at the University of Dakar, Diop used microscopic laboratory analysis to measure the melanin content of skin samples from several Egyptian mummies (from the Mariette excavations). The melanin levels found in the dermis and epidermis of that small sample led Diop to classify all the Ancient Egyptians as "unquestionably among the Black races." Numerous scholars, such as DuBois, Diop, Asante, and Volney, have characterized the face of the Sphinx as Black, or "Negroid." Around 1785 Volney stated, "When I visited the sphinx...on seeing that head, typically Negro in all its features, I remembered...Herodotus says: "...the Egyptians...are black with woolly hair"..." Another early description of a "Negroid" Sphinx is recorded in the travel notes of a French scholar, who visited in Egypt between 1783 and 1785, Constantin-François Chassebœuf along with French novelist Gustave Flaubert. The identity of the model for the Great Sphinx of Giza is unknown. Virtually all Egyptologists and scholars currently believe that the face of the Sphinx represents the likeness of the Pharaoh Khafra.
I don't know whose going to read this but I don't know if I was gonna buy the game before watching this video but this video got me interested enough to buy the game so I hope somebody sees it
Say what you will about the newer Assassain's creed games (they suck), but this video tells me you should do more ancient history episodes. I know you said you don't want to do them, but here you are doing one, and I like it.
One of the tag lines of this series is "History is your playground." Apparently it is for the developers as well. If 3:31 is to be believed, they have no idea how the Marian-style legions that Caesar led operated.
I respect the fact that Australia allows brothels and prostitutes, and I'm happy to see you took advantage of that when gentleman Ubisoft came knocking. Just hope you didn't get an endless franchise itch, mate. Here's to seeing the channel grow!
Žan Ujčič The Hebrew in Ancient Times often mixed with African peoples. The Torah gives testimony to this, also Israel is in Africa because it’s on the African tectonic plate. Israel has African plants, animals and wildlife. Also The Middle East was Part Of Africa on maps until the 1850’s when Europeans made new maps, separating the two. Also Israelites are not African but they were often mistaken for African people in the Bible. And even out side of the Bible, why because they were black. The Hebrews fled to Africa after the fall of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. I am Hebrew how about you mind your own business because being a Hebrew Israelite is my own culture and blood. Shalom.
ptolemaic egypt is certainly interesting, a golden era of egypt, but i was actually hoping for a true Ancient Egypt Assassin's Creed, with the first dynasties and real pharaohs, like Djoser and Hetephernebti, or at least as early as Queen Hatshepsut.
The Assassins state was formed in 1090 . Their territory was Persian, Meddle East, Syria, Egypt. The name was deriving from the word Hashish in Arabic. Over the course of nearly 200 years, they killed hundreds - including three caliphs, a ruler of Jerusalem and several Muslim and Christian leaders. Basically they were organization of head hunting! With record of excellent customer service and guarantee.
Shit, nigga! Look, look, look man, Julius Caesars was black. I don't know why these history books be lyin' to you. Julius Caesars was black, he wasn't White! The Romans were ruled by black people. Shit, man, I tell you what, I swear! Let all the black people in America go back to Africa, they gonna be wantin' us back!
It would be so cool if you did one on the Algerian independence war like in the next week for my History assignment come on boys, help me pass units 1 and 2
I wish the game focused more on the actual Siege of Alexandria. I mean, I enjoyed the game quite a bit, but I can't help but think of the missed opportunities.
It would be cool if you could have different endings based on who you support in the conflict. FYI, this is before the game comes out, so if I got it right, tell me.
Feature History ignore the “sell out”comments. This is America after all. You saw an opportunity and took it. I’m pretty sure they would do the same. I know I would.
The medjay huh? Sounds eerily similar to the Medjai, the same black clad warriors who fought to keep the mommy dead. Don't tell me the main villain is going to be a priest called Imhotep and we'll have a piece of Eden that can make mommies xD
seems like Ubisoft are sponsering a few videos for the Assassins Creed Origins game. I literally just came from a video from Half As Interesting who also plugged the game
If you're going to say "It's not October 27th" that's just because you live in one of the loser timezones.
fuck.
Its not October 27th and there isnt any diffrent Timezone cosidering we live in the same time zone :p
Well clearly we don't, because it is
What if it's because not all the DLC are out so the full game isn't out then?
+jordi castro ye
congrats on the sponsorship I honestly hope more game companies would advertise their game through quick education/background like this, especially from a small youtuber like yourself :)
The game taught me that these poor people had to deal with loot boxes already, so sad
The Nile was fertile and provided many a loot box to the growing civilization yet the loot boxes often contained useless items, as well. As time passed, the loot boxes began to give nothing of value and Egyptian civilization never recovered.
congrats on the sponsor
I feel like some Asian somewhere already finished the game...
Korean
Gehrman The First Fedora which is in ........
Say it with me.
i want the AC game about Philippine history.
Victor Entente *Spanish divide and conquer everyone...
*Aguinaldo betraying his people....
*Diosdado dying...

Yeah, and I don't think its looking pretty for our country as a happy plot.
Victor Entente Nah. Too irrelevant
I love you for making this!!! I was so confused when I started seeing all the Greek and romans stuff in origins as I I was just expecting Egyptian stuff, we'll done good sir, everyone needs to watch this before playing!

Once you get paid promotions you know you made it . Congrats man I love your videos fuck the haters .
...and this is the closest we will ever get to ancient history from feature history
It only required a multi-billion dollar company to push for it.
Feature History Hey it's me a multi-billion dollar company.
This was obviously a big commercial for Assassins Creed, but that didn't make it any less enjoyable to watch. Keep making deals like this, especially if it keeps the content flowing!
We wuz paid promotions and shieeettt.
Thomas Alvarez he's sellout
bliznerfgenj tbh I bet you will do the same if someone want to sponsor you video
I don’t mind paid promotions in this adpocalypse age, but fuck ubisoft.
I don`t mind he does BTW. Money is money. Yet it is Ubisoft who would only sell your soul back to you thorough DLC and microtransactions.
and dead memes

money > > >
Mans getting paid promotions now. So proud of you yukno.
Congrats on the sponsor! Glad you’re getting more traction.
I like the non-promotional ones too, but I actually COMMEND you for doing this, it's a smart way to get paid, short enough not to get annoying, and stays on topic.
Ubisoft just earned my respect for sponsoring this channel. They're getting smarter.
Nuno R I hope they also lose that respect by putting loot boxes into Origins.
Say what you want about Ubisoft or the AC series but at least they give 2 shits about the history. And so does feature history. +1
lmao what about that tower defence game in revalations
"Say what you want about Ubisoft or the AC series"
but what I said completely goes against Ubisoft’s ‘historical accuracy’
Is this what kids call trolling these days?

Some of the most often quoted historians are Strabo, Diodorus Siculus, and Herodotus. Herodotus states in a few passages that the Egyptians were black/dark. According to most translations, Herodotus states that a Greek oracle was known to be from Egypt because she was "black", that the natives of the Nile region are "black with heat", and that Egyptians were "black skinned with woolly hair".
Lucian observes an Egyptian boy and notices that he is not merely black, but has thick lips.
Diodorus Siculus mentioned that the Aethiopians considered the Egyptians a colony.
Appollodorus, a Greek, calls Egypt the country of the black footed ones.
Aeschylus, a Greek poet, wrote that Egyptian seamen had "black limbs."
Greeks sometimes referred to Egyptians as Aethiopians - not to be confused with inhabitants of the modern-day nation of Ethiopia who were instead referred to as Abyssinians or Habesha and their land as Abyssinia.
The famous and ancient Greek historian Herodotus (who is known as the father of history) visited Egypt and wrote concerning the Egyptians: "They have burnt skin, flat noses, thick lips, and wooly hair" (Herodotus, Book 2, p. 100, translated by George Rawlinson, New York: Tudor, 1928). It's been discovered that the embalming process straightened and, in some cases, changed the color of hair found among the entombed Pharaohs.
Gaston Maspero states that "by the almost unanimous testimony of ancient [Greek] historians, they [Ancient Egyptians] belonged to the African race, which settled in Ethiopia."
Simson Najovits states that Herodotus "made clear ethnic and national distinctions between Aigyptios (Egyptians) and the peoples whom the Greeks referred to as Aithiops (Ethiopians)."
While at the University of Dakar, Diop used microscopic laboratory analysis to measure the melanin content of skin samples from several Egyptian mummies (from the Mariette excavations). The melanin levels found in the dermis and epidermis of that small sample led Diop to classify all the Ancient Egyptians as "unquestionably among the Black races."
Numerous scholars, such as DuBois, Diop, Asante, and Volney, have characterized the face of the Sphinx as Black, or "Negroid."
Around 1785 Volney stated, "When I visited the sphinx...on seeing that head, typically Negro in all its features, I remembered...Herodotus says: "...the Egyptians...are black with woolly hair"..."
Another early description of a "Negroid" Sphinx is recorded in the travel notes of a French scholar, who visited in Egypt between 1783 and 1785, Constantin-François Chassebœuf along with French novelist Gustave Flaubert. The identity of the model for the Great Sphinx of Giza is unknown. Virtually all Egyptologists and scholars currently believe that the face of the Sphinx represents the likeness of the Pharaoh Khafra.
I don't know whose going to read this but I don't know if I was gonna buy the game before watching this video but this video got me interested enough to buy the game so I hope somebody sees it
As shameless promotions go, this one is realky good! Good video!
3:10 All I can hear in my head is:
"HE WAS A CONSUL OF ROME!" -Ceasar, probably
Great work keeping the deadline on your major first sponsor deal *clap*
I’m glad you focused on the actual history and not the cheesy assassin storyline..
That subtle Rome total war ost music at 1:11, you sir have my respect !
Say what you will about the newer Assassain's creed games (they suck), but this video tells me you should do more ancient history episodes. I know you said you don't want to do them, but here you are doing one, and I like it.
Good that you're making that Ubisoft skrilla
Ayy! I'm glad to see you getting a secure source of income on this one! It definitely beats trying to rely on youtube's advertising system.
wow this is a gaming channel too? LOVE THIS
Woah, you're channel exploded!!! I was one of the Original 10k Subscribers.
Nice they see you as potentional , and ivest money in you, keep up the good work and more will come i reckon :)
If companies are willing to pay channels to make edutainment that's related to but not exclusively their product, I'm all for it.
In light of the announcement of Ghost of Tsushima, you should cover the history of the Mongol invasion of Japan.
Congrats, I hope you get more sponsorship.
This actually got me interested in the new Assassins Creed game
One of the tag lines of this series is "History is your playground." Apparently it is for the developers as well. If 3:31 is to be believed, they have no idea how the Marian-style legions that Caesar led operated.
I respect the fact that Australia allows brothels and prostitutes, and I'm happy to see you took advantage of that when gentleman Ubisoft came knocking.
Just hope you didn't get an endless franchise itch, mate. Here's to seeing the channel grow!
Love your videos!!! Keep up the work! 😊
Chareeya Hernaez how do you have so many subs
Hey this was really cool, sponsored or not. You should make more of these since there are tons of history in other assassins creed games.
Can you please do a episode on the American Fenian Invasion of Canada
So you wuz sayin?

The Jews have their own culture and aren't even from Africa. Get your own.
Žan Ujčič The Hebrew in Ancient Times often mixed with African peoples. The Torah gives testimony to this, also Israel is in Africa because it’s on the African tectonic plate. Israel has African plants, animals and wildlife. Also The Middle East was Part Of Africa on maps until the 1850’s when Europeans made new maps, separating the two. Also Israelites are not African but they were often mistaken for African people in the Bible. And even out side of the Bible, why because they were black. The Hebrews fled to Africa after the fall of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. I am Hebrew how about you mind your own business because being a Hebrew Israelite is my own culture and blood. Shalom.
Hey I love your videos and would very much appreciate it if you would cover the first Vietnam war. (the one with the French vs. the Viet Minh)
ptolemaic egypt is certainly interesting, a golden era of egypt, but i was actually hoping for a true Ancient Egypt Assassin's Creed, with the first dynasties and real pharaohs, like Djoser and Hetephernebti, or at least as early as Queen Hatshepsut.

It would be nice if they explained how Bayek's a medjay when they disappeared from records 700 years before the events of Origins
Well I knew this comment section would turn into 4chan.
The 'we wuz kangs' and 'sellout!' shouters make the comments look like kind of a shit show. Urgh.
Thomas Kole it doesn't help he seems to be enjoying the comments.
Thomas Kole Sellout commebts are retarded but what do you have against KANGZ!?
I don't have anything against Kangz, I just made a simple observation.
4chan? i see no porn, banning and most importantly /jp/ hijacks anywhere
and the shitstorm is way too calm as well
fuck yeah you got sponsored. great for you!
anyone know how to create this animation what software is required
I am still mad HBO cancelled Rome
Constantine XI Yeah that was such a shame, especially considering that the second season had to be rushed in light of the forthcoming cancellation.
I'm not because it was garbage historical revisionism mixed with soft-core porn and prime time soap opera melodrama.
The Assassins state was formed in 1090 . Their territory was Persian, Meddle East, Syria, Egypt.
The name was deriving from the word Hashish in Arabic.
Over the course of nearly 200 years, they killed hundreds - including three caliphs, a ruler of Jerusalem and several Muslim and Christian leaders.
Basically they were organization of head hunting! With record of excellent customer service and guarantee.
SO YOU BE SAYIN WE WUZ KANGZ AND SHIEEEET?

This video came out right at the end of the same day that I watched YongYea's video about how Origins has loot boxes. Not good timing.
It wasn't my job to pass an opinion on the game, just tell the history behind it.
How do you edit your videos? Like the editing software
2:40 don't you mean judea because palestine didn't exist in 50 BCE
SELLOUT!!!!!!!!
Actually this was a pretty good video. Good job.
Ubisoft is gonna say "I can't believe he shilled for US. Ubisoft of all people. We should send one of our corporate hit squads after him."
What’s the music at the start
What is the name of song in the background
Wait origins is set on Cleopatra's times? I thought the Madjay were gone long before that.
I just got the wink at 1:36 😂
why didnt rome invade earlier?
did they fear the black warrior?
Goliath Online The black Egyptians were slaves. Egyptians are Mediterranean and Middle Eastern.
Cause they didn't feel like it.
They were afraid of aliens.
funiek The Romans had no reason to do so.
Blue Dude because it's a obvious joke and u don't know the banter.
Comment section? More like Cancer section ammarite?
Basically
Shit, nigga! Look, look, look man, Julius Caesars was black. I don't know why these history books be lyin' to you. Julius Caesars was black, he wasn't White! The Romans were ruled by black people. Shit, man, I tell you what, I swear! Let all the black people in America go back to Africa, they gonna be wantin' us back!
haha funi meme guys XD
well. it's shite, fcking 4chan of a comm section
I like how they look like they all their characters from the Rome tv show
Feature History Guy: "I'm never gonna do Ancient Shit"
It would be so cool if you did one on the Algerian independence war like in the next week for my History assignment come on boys, help me pass units 1 and 2
Can you make Dissolution of USSR on your next video ?
I wish the game focused more on the actual Siege of Alexandria. I mean, I enjoyed the game quite a bit, but I can't help but think of the missed opportunities.
So in this game, who is your enemy?
We waited two weeks for this?
It would be cool if you could have different endings based on who you support in the conflict. FYI, this is before the game comes out, so if I got it
right, tell me.

Can u make a video about napolean
got an AC Origins ad on this video, that's what I call a real Adception (stop promoting the game, god dammit I wanted to play it since the E3 anyway)
Gonna go play it after this video
Is the "Includes paid promotion" tag at the bottom left something YT added, or the creator?
Just curious, not really relevant
It's something I can turn on for my videos when appropriate.
poor Hassan As-Sabah the real founder the Hashashins in 1090. he is the origins of this cool group.
You didn't resolve the story of cleopatra etc.
Feature History ignore the “sell out”comments. This is America after all. You saw an opportunity and took it. I’m pretty sure they would do the same. I know I would.
You live in Australia some of the real contents are still in 26th the
Like hearing loreena mckennitt and age of mythology music
I'm not an Assassin's creed fan but damn, this game looks really cool.
just looks good. nothing more.
ww1 or ww2?
The medjay huh? Sounds eerily similar to the Medjai, the same black clad warriors who fought to keep the mommy dead. Don't tell me the main villain is going to be a priest called Imhotep and we'll have a piece of Eden that can make mommies xD
of cource you made this video
The heck are you talking about ? Egyptian history or roman history?
seems like Ubisoft are sponsering a few videos for the Assassins Creed Origins game. I literally just came from a video from Half As Interesting who also plugged the game
