"History of the Entire World, I Guess" is arguably the best video on all of UA-cam, certainly in the 20-minute category. Everyone who sees it gets amazed, educated and entertained. Great reaction!
Best content I ever saw on YT for sure. You could delete all of YT and just leave that one video. And then YT would still serve a purpose and be relevant. How many videos can say that?
I will always watch this from end to end if I stumble across someone reacting to it. The creativity and the dedication to making this is just off the charts.
One of my favourite things about this video is right at the start when it pauses on a white screen. Bill's mastery of timing is amazing as every single reactio video I've seen has gone to check if the video os frozen at the moment it picks back up.
I find it interesting how many reactors say "Well it is definitely lacking in detail". Of course it is. That's the entire point. You mentioned early how this was good for contextualizing a lot of events in history, which is what I think is the point of the video. This gives a 50000 foot view of history so we can get the idea of the order cultures appeared, what events led to what, which cultures created other cultures. I think that is far more important in understandng history. If a person wanted to learn more, then they can dive into the details. But history is often taught so episodically. For example, this video helped me see the direct line of causality from the Seven Years War through the US Revolution then to the French Revolution.
It's crazy that basically every second of this is an entire college level thesis and a lifetime of studying, and you'd still understand a small percentage of what happened. Particularly the physics and biological stuff at the beginning. It really give you an appreciation for how complex everything is and how little anyone is able to really understand.
One of the best videos. Watch it several times. It's like taking a drink from a fire hose. As a consumer, I'd enjoy seeing this a second time as Sam reacts and you react to her.
I haven't heard anyone criticize the music before, and I think what you might have been hearing was a bass note that was a little sharp, which was clashing with 2 melody notes that were playing on top. Anyway, there is a great 15 min. video where a jazz pianist picks apart and plays some of these "jingles" as he calls them, which aren't restricted to being in any particular harmonic scheme (because they are more based on what is being said than any song structure). It's amazing to see him pick apart these complex chords and play them back perfectly on the piano after playing segments of the video. This guy, Charles Cornell, usually explains what is going on musically in film scores. See "Musician Explains Bill Wurtz History of the entire world, I guess" on his channel.
Its kind of embarrassing just how much of this video I can quote from heart... 😅🤣 One of my favorite videos ever made, I couldn't tell you how many times I've watched it!
This is what university used to be for. You were supposed to get exposed to a wide range of science, philosophy, history and generalities so that you could decide what you wanted to study. You then studied the chosen ideas in depth. He has a great ability to explain, entertain and amaze. Good reaction
hahaha i love how u were so confused at the start...when it pauses for a weird amount of time. I think everyone was like wait what is it frozen? hjahah
Ive watched this so many times. For me, the hardest part is keeping tracknof the time skips for each significant event. I would try to change my focus each time i saw it to better remember the details. For the most part, i can remember the general events, just not the timeframes.
I always thought, if I were a history teacher; I'd use this as a syllabus day 1 of the semester. Then work through it and at the end of the year, watch and compare on the accuracy of said video for final.
For me, this video highlights how everything after the ottoman turks feels like a row of dominoes....should've just gave europe some spices and kept Columbus at the bar.
There is a perspective provided if you say this entire history from the big bang was on a 24 hour clock. If all of history starts and is done in one day, the microbes in the ocean would come in the last 5 minutes. The dinosaurs in the last minute or so and man in the last 10 seconds.
I watched at least 10 people react to this and I just enjoy it. It makes me laugh. Makes me think and I love the surprise. Look on people's faces. Most of them have no idea what they just saw
😊❤ Hi Phil! Wow! 🤯 I have a college degree, but this made me feel pretty ignorant!! LOL 😂 I lost it when he said, "one God. He has a 10 step plan." 😂🤣 Luv ya Phil and Sam!! 😊❤❤
Should be required viewing for all students. It's the timeline I find most Interesting. Honestly, I learned more about world history watching this, than everything I learned in my schools.
I probably would have paid attention in my high school history class if this dude had been my teacher. I may not have learned anything, but I would have paid attention
As the last great empire and the largest it would be interesting to see the history of the British Empire and how it has effected the present day world...but as you said this was just a surface over simplified account of the world, but did give a kinda rough time span of what was first and what came last...
Well... in Italy, if you keep at least half one ear and one eye opened in school you know all about this and even more. We study all world history more or less entirely up to 18 years old. Nothing told in this video was unknown to me
If you're interested in South America, there's a cool podcast called Revolutions. Mike Duncan does an amazing job with them. You get the more famous ones, but he also does Haiti, Mexico, and South America. They were my introduction to them so I'm always quick to recommend them to others.
This video is fun and id watch it over and over again how creative it is This video is really for fast learning people who dont need hours or dats to learn stuff This is a generalized history if u want more details u would need more time
One of the many things of history this (brilliant) oversimplified version of the world-history isn't mentioning at all (obviously for time reasons): Thirty Years War. Millions of people died in that huge war and almost no American reactor knows about it or reacts to history videos about it, despite UA-cam is full of good (partly even animated) videos about this important, cruel...but outside of Germany and Europe unknown war.
Yeah like you said there are some things either ignored or severely glossed over like the Korean war. But even then it shows that it was the US and the USSRs influence, not Korea itself and I appreciate that. But overall it's a great video.
Ive seen this at least a 100 times never gets old a you figure out something new everytime its great ive always liked history so if uou wanna research something that interested in im checking out alot of the history of Israel an who the original people that were there whoch goes back to Alexander the great so far an how many times that area has changed hands is insane. But wanted to know more since its the cause of alot tension right now. An whatching all theses people on tv protesting i realize most of them have never picked up a history book.
Amazing, at 10:05 "Thanks for invading our homeland" said the Jews tired of invading their homeland... a couple thousand years ago. And then, 21:23 "So we can give the Jewish people a place to live".... which according to 10:05 is the exact same place as the Jewish Homeland. Buuuutttt, now there are the Palestine who were just officially recognized in 1958 by United Nations but were NOT the holders of those same lands identified as the "Jewish Homeland" (see 10:05) Buuuuuttttt..... "How Dare Those Jews act like that about their homeland!!! And How dare Us take Native Tribal lands from tribes in the Americas! We need to give them their homelands back! But not the Jews! Their homeland should go to Palestine!" "Thanks for selling our homeland," said the Jews. Just Makes No Sense.
love it. not a lot of study on the Americas my brother, other than people migrated from Eurasia settled and became enslaved and lorded over by Spain, Portuguese and couple other Europeans at a later time. DNA studies have shown how people migrated out of Africa, there are videos on that. Having worked at a university I would always make this Dr. of anthropology mad cause I would try to convince her that it all changes with new discoveries, she would seductively reply it's stable and it won't change. fun times.
You were asking for a more detailed explanation of the history of South America. There isn't much. Spain and Portugal conquered all of it and Central America. And one by one all those countries declared independence.
You need my suggestions... Fever Ray - streets empty for me The Irrepressibles- mirror mirror live Siouxsie and the Banshees - last beat of my heart SuicidalTendencies - war inside my head
There's only one lesson to learn from history. That there _is_ no lesson to learn from history. If we time travelled and swapped a generation of modern human babies with cave-people, we'd have the exact same world. Humans are born with programming, and rule one is to get as much of everything as you can for the least possible effort. Thats how we got the wheel and AI. We're bots, performing the same commands each generation, just using the props at hand. Knowing history, seeing the patterns, you'd think you could learn from it, but knowing a thing doesn't change how you feel. Your instincts and urges. And you use your reasoning to justify the actions you want to take, rather than using your reason to stifle yourself. So, nothing ever changes. If you observe humans the way you do a nature documentary, you'll see it. Ignore the words people use. Only judge action and body language. And people get uncomplicated fast. And things become easy to predict. Human history is just a rerun of the pilot episode. And evolution takes millions of years, not a couple hundred thousand. Everyone likes memeing that people are npcs and we live in a simulation. But that's only because the internet has given us a bird's eye perspective on how humans think, and it's very bottish. Click *any* animal vid, go to comments, and its on full display, with 3 heart emojis. And then, we realize, we're no different. And the world looks duller. Fake. That's our core programming. We can't change it. You can install apps and change the wallpaper, but you're using the same version android phone as everyone else. So, you're gonna get the same results.
There is a podcast by Dan Carlin that is AMAZING. He has an amazing 5 or 6 episodes on Khan that crazy long but so so so good and very informative. I couldn’t stop listening to it and basically everything else he did. Check it out
Loved it but disappointed he didn;t find time to mention me being born, which I thought was a very significant moment in the history of the universe - not that I've done anything, but still, he could have made a BIT more effort to include me. Therefore I can only give it 9/10. Maybe I'll be in part 2. I suppose 8 billion people feel the same way though.
The guy started off talking kind of fast and strange with what seemed to be an odd attitude. Five seconds in told me why and as well that the video was offensive to watch. Oh well, I got 4 seconds of his....wisdom? You ARE in control of your own reaction channel.
get educated it is the best way to living life! for me i am into Jesus Christ but i promise i will not turn anyone away! lets talk! the books have been removed and that is sad!

Great Video!
The Japan one is better imo
Agreed. It’s 14 years of public school history in 25 minutes.
@@manuele.itriagom.728 nah the Japan one missed a lot of rape stuffs.

It was just one guy that made the entire video. The voice. The music. The editing. The animations. The sound effects.

WOW, PHIL!!! THAT was CRAZY-NUTS-FAST!! LOVED IT! Thanks for the reaction!! HUGS!!
I've never seen this so thanks for bringing it to my attention. Incredibly fun and entertaining to watch.
I just love this video. Haven't seen it for a long while! Thanks for the reaction!
I recommend "History of Japan", also made by Bill Wurtz.
Ive watched this so many times. For me, the hardest part is keeping tracknof the time skips for each significant event. I would try to change my focus each time i saw it to better remember the details. For the most part, i can remember the general events, just not the timeframes.

Check of his "History of Japan" video as well
Excelent . It gives a quick refrence just to get know what is the whole story . Thanks
Woah what you said around 11:10 just blew my mind
😲 I think my head just stopped spinning! 💥 Wild is right! But I loved it❤ Great one! 👍☺️
Mine just stopped a few days later 😂
😊❤ Hi Phil! Wow! 🤯 I have a college degree, but this made me feel pretty ignorant!! LOL 😂 I lost it when he said, "one God. He has a 10 step plan." 😂🤣 Luv ya Phil and Sam!! 😊❤❤
Yep. Same.
I love how this video feeds your brain & makes you think.
I have watched this video numerous times and I hear something new every time.
This video is amazing. If this video were shown in history classes so many more kids would've paid attention and possibly learned a little more.
Should be required viewing for all students. It's the timeline I find most Interesting. Honestly, I learned more about world history watching this, than everything I learned in my schools.
that "what??!?!?" look you get on your face is funny AF
Very informative and entertaining
I probably would have paid attention in my high school history class if this dude had been my teacher. I may not have learned anything, but I would have paid attention
As the last great empire and the largest it would be interesting to see the history of the British Empire and how it has effected the present day world...but as you said this was just a surface over simplified account of the world, but did give a kinda rough time span of what was first and what came last...
Amazing video. But not much mention of Australia. Pretty accurate as far as I know.
Well... in Italy, if you keep at least half one ear and one eye opened in school you know all about this and even more. We study all world history more or less entirely up to 18 years old. Nothing told in this video was unknown to me

That was fun.😎👍
This was incredible 👏 But my brain hurts. I'll definitely have to see it again. It was really well put together. Peace out ✌️ ☮️
I don’t know about South America but there is a great video called “The animated history of Mexico” that is pretty amazing.
17:30 It takes like 3 or 4 times to get all the information and references in this video
That it ends with A.I. is crazy
Like gahndi said
" history teaches us that history teaches us nothing " 🙏🏼
This video is fun and id watch it over and over again how creative it is
This video is really for fast learning people who dont need hours or dats to learn stuff

I was a history major in college so I knew most of this, but it was fun anyway.
Xtians be like but hey the earth is only 40000 years old 😂😂😂😂
Yeah like you said there are some things either ignored or severely glossed over like the Korean war. But even then it shows that it was the US and the USSRs influence, not Korea itself and I appreciate that. But overall it's a great video.

If you want to listen a second time to take in more, watch it with Sam! We’ll watch it again 😁
No mention of "The Great Divergance" ? Or did it go so fast I missed it?
Why would you do this video without Sam?
There is a podcast by Dan Carlin that is AMAZING. He has an amazing 5 or 6 episodes on Khan that crazy long but so so so good and very informative. I couldn’t stop listening to it and basically everything else he did. Check it out
