    Great narration. Absolutely love this format.
    P.S. I couldn't ignore the slip at 5:54 though (1963 instead of 1693)

    Love second hand stories, just a suggestion, if putting in animations is too hard maybe try putting in few images every now and then
    Like in this video maybe few images of some large ships from 1700's era when talking about the large ship
    image of pirate ships, and image of Aurangzeb, a portrait of henry every
    basically a few pictorial representations every now and then would make the video much better in my opinion

    Henry Avery is also mentioned a lot in the game Uncharted 4, where they find the hidden treasure after 300 years. It is a really good game of anyone is interested in action/adventure, it has got the best graphics so far in a videogame.

    man people might not know, but a very popular game series, uncharted has one of it's parts Unchated 4 - a thief's end, on Henry Avery's treasure, where he went to a different island and made New Devon, in the memory of his hometown, a paradise for all his pirate friends, in which the protagonist Nathan Drake, finds the treasure on the Fancy mention here, it is a very good game, not just story wise, but it's direction and screenplay is also fantastic, I would highly recommend to play the game, or at least watch it on youtube.

    I must say, the story was VERY intriguing!! Loved it! Also, you mentioned Surat here a lot of times, at that time Surat was the largest port of India, hence most of the wealthy traders belonged to Surat, I am from Surat and would love to host you guys whenever you come here. There is a lot of history and monuments from that era, including British and Armenian Cemetery, where a lot of highly decorated officials from the East India Company are buried.

  • @indianhistorybuff
    @indianhistorybuff 2 роки тому +1

    Amazing stuff! It's interesting to note that the Mughals had almost no sea power at all. The jacking off the Ganj i Sawai is clear testament to the fact. First of all it was a really slow moving merchant ship that was made into this vessel. Secondly the convoy of 25 ships that were supposed to accompany and protect these ships had moved ahead and left these 2 lumbering treasure ships behind. And did not pause ahead in a protective formation either. A move of colossal stupidity.
    As Kautuk says the captain was an idiot with little to no knowledge about naval command. Finally three canon building that took place in Mughal era was all done for land battles, constructed in Jaipur so it's extremely likely they were meant for land use. Oh and by the way Aurangzeb's mother's ship had been ransacked by pirates before and she was responsible for having a large fleet ho this time round.
    All in all a disaster from the word go.

    This is such an incredible story, and I absolutely love the way you've narrated it. There's a very real warmth and thrill in the way you speak that leaves me no doubt that you were just as amazed at this story when you came across it the very first time as I was when I heard you tell it. I've never sat by a fireside listening to tales like these, but after this I can very well imagine what that must feel like. There's something very deeply personal in your voice and narration that makes me feel like you'd narrate it with just as much wonder all over again even if was just to one person.
    I'm going to send these to my father as well, and I really wished my grandfather was also around because these are the exact sort of stories he would've loved to listen to and then narrate again to enthralled children like me who could never have enough of these.
    Thank you for this, truly. You're a great storyteller and I'm so happy that you found a platform to showcase it.

    Maharashtra has lot of stories Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj ones are quite interesting escape from agra, surat loot TWICE, father of indian navy , infiltrating station where a mughal sardar or auragzeb uncle was stationed with around 50 thousands or more soldiers where present and in that chaos Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj himself with some of his men finding and chopping of two fingers of shaistkhan are some amazing task and stories you could read it for yourself reading on channel could create a lot of drawback or controversy but you should definitely read them for yourself
