If you don’t use metric time your comment is invalid
These videos seriously should use the metric system. Even i got confused for a while after seeing 100 degrees. I swear, americans should simply discard their Miles and Fahrenheit bullshit.
"using fake units like Fahrenheit" or they can use both
It's ok, there are conversion rates out there. How do you think I feel? I prefer Kelvin!
@@isaacschmitt4803 Well, °Kelvin and °C are basically the same scale - just add or substract 273°, so no pobs there. At least mentioning the unit used would have spared me (and others in this comment section) a major WTF moment!
I am Khmer and I am your fan, specially for this video !
It's typical in agrarian societies to tax farmers by having them work on public projects when they're idle, i.e. between plantings and harvests.
Well, you don't want to have idle farmers, I mean imagine they could start to think :p
Also warfare was mainly conducted in that window, because come harvest peasant levies would be needed on the fields.
@@Oxtocoatl13 Come to think of it, Roman troops were put on public works when they weren't fighting, too.

If at all possible all should save to visit the Siem Reap, Cambodia area. I have visited twice each over a period of two weeks to take in all the culture, history and architecture there and it is always increasing in what is being presented.
Could you please use the metric system?
No
