Hi everybody! Thanks so much for the kind words and support so far! We are a brand new channel attempting a hugely ambitious project, telling no less than the entire history of our world. Please like, subscribe and share if you enjoyed the video as this will help us immeasurably to make this project financially viable. Why not share with a like minded friend- it will help us more than you know, and let us know in the comments what eras of the past you are most looking forward to seeing! A few spring to mind for me *Dinosaurs*... *Late Permian Extinction*... Thanks again and hope you enjoy the videos!

Before they turned into EXTREEEEEEEEME FISHING EXTREEEEME GOLD MINING EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXTREME SH*T dang now i too realy miss the old discovery channel
I've watched almost the entirety of the videos in this channel and still can't get over the literary skill at narrating science that is found here. A true gem for documentary lovers.
A note about Percival Lowell, there is some evidence that he suffered from glaucoma, which tended to make the cause a shadow of the veins and nerves appear on the retina as it is pushed up against them by pressure. Tests have been done on the eye piece that he used on his telescope and they show that a person with glaucoma would be able to notice these shadows if you look through it at a mostly singular color. Thus the general belief is that the canals that he saw were actually the shadowy reflection of his eyes' own retina. Edit: Changed Cornea to Retina, as it should be. As pointed out by Paul Endry, the Cornea doesn't actually have a blood supply (it gets oxygen from the air, not through they blood supply.)
This series is superbly put together. The breath of what’s been discussed is immense, the narrative compelling and it brings the realisation how lucky we are to live on this beautiful blue planet.
If I ever make it to where I can afford to donate huge sums of money to a charity, I would donate to educational productions like this. Thank you for this channel!
I'm old enough to have heard the stories of geology and biology told a thousand times, but you're bringing new information (to me) in every video. Really good job Leila and the team. Thank you.

No, it's. You are sloppy. And water indeed has a list of properties that can blow your mind. It is in radioators, because there is no other fluid taking so much energy to heat it. For real. And ice is floating. Can you tell me, which OTHER solid stuff is floating on the liquid? You can't! And the list goes on and on and on. It is amazing. And most people are too stupid to know such things. Ah, I don't care! How would I know that? Dude, you ARE water!

Loving these videos guys. Clearly a labour of love and that comes across in everything from the composition of the video and audio to the calming and engaging narration. I'm recommending you to many folk. Keep up the good work. Peace x
This is fantastic, great narration, clearly explained and at just the right pace, entertaining and informative, can't wait for more from you guys. Hope you cover a wide range of topics and disciplines.
Just brilliant. So glad to have found this channel. It makes so much of the day to day drama seem so trivial. Wish I could bring this to schools and dump most of what they seen to be learning. We might become more curious as humans rather than operating at the LCD level.
I love how Jupiter is almost portrayed as an evil villain trying to destroy Earth and Mars. It really makes for a compelling story that keeps you hooked. It's almost Attenborough-esque.
No pack drill or gimmicks - just good solid and very entertaining history and science. Brilliant video that hooks the viewer in like a Whodunit - bravo.
Percival Lowell was imaginative, intuitive, allowing us a little look over his shoulder while doing so. Being wrong on a few things, he allowed us to say "well and why not ?" asking "what if" until we know better. Thanks for the videos 😊
This was great. It's an unbelievably complex series of events and circumstances explained so clearly, that even I could understand it. I look forward to more.
Wow. By now I'm always looking forward to the new episodes. It is very interesting, while presentation offers a calm and serene atmosphere. I really like it a lot
@@fakiirification right there with you... I hate those deadly fishing, deadly kilos, deadly creatures... I'll never eat a crude scorpion, or try to survive in the amazonia naked...
I love the eclectic manner in which you tell the story of history. The back and forth from ancient past to the very recent past to tell the bigger story.
This series, coupled with the history of the universe, really puts it into perspective how unlikely life is, and how likely it is that we are alone despite the vast size of the galaxy. Space is just so deadly for life, and it's so astronomically difficult for the conditions to be just right for life to come about. Either we are alone, or we are so few, isolated, and far between, that we might as well be alone.
I appreciate the first segments of each video that discuss our recent history in learning about the episode's topic, really puts into perspective how short a time we've known about the billions of years of Earth's history (or at least the parts that we know so far)
I just discovered this channel and watched five videos in a row. This is simply amazing! How did I not know about this sooner? One of my favorite channels and shows ever now!
Thank you for this poetic, beautifully done and comprehensive video of an enormously complicated subject. It does make the pain of destruction so much greater. Mankind today is destroying this life blood of our planet and most people aren't even aware of the subject, much less the danger.
Also overblown by totalitarians to make us willingly become slaves. Don't take anything at face value, and check it yourself if poss. The amount of lies in this society is beyond measure.
What humans are doing to the planet pales in comparison to the events that caused the great extinctions of the past. Siberian super volcanoes caused the Permian extinction (The Great Dying). 63 million years age an asteroid killed the dinosaurs except for the birds. Human caused damage? The Earth will shake us off like a bad case of fleas. It isn't going anywhere, but humans certainly will (go away). -channeling the late, great philosopher, George Carlin
Okay, I'm subscribing . Just keep up the great content. You have an informative and enthusiastic approach to the material. Rock on guys, you'll grow. Kris
Really enjoy these videos, they are super well scripted! Small correction, though, H.G. Wells died in 1946, you made a typo at 4:03 where it says that he died in 1966 Edit: another one: I guess it's a little bit misleading saying that water is two thirds hydrogen. It is of course two atoms out of the three making up the molecular compound, but in terms of mass, it only constitutes around 1/9 because of oxygen's considerable mass compared to hydrogen.
I kept thinking I'd heard this voice somewhere before, then it hit me - Voices of the Past!! Your narration really brings the beautiful script to life. Keep up the great work.
Great work. Saw all of your videos till now today. Hope to see more such incredible content. I hope you will continue with geology in this channel, especially the precambrian supereon. 7/8 th of the earths history is too much neglected in popular science.
When I read the publication information of this item I flooded tears, complex edrocrinal tears: an ecstacy. Beautifully, approaching flawlessly, mounted on the channel.
i JUST found the History Time Channel and now this?!?!?! My New Favorite channel ! Well done my friends! Thank you for staying true! #NashvillePianoman
Wow, Flagstaff is pretty much my second hometown, and while I was always aware of Lowell Observatory, I honestly didn't know a thing about the person behind the name. I always thought whatever Lowell it was named after was an inconsequential person. On top of that, I always heard the observatory's claim to fame was that it was where Pluto was discovered. So I never knew any of this stuff about Percival Lowell, or Mars until now! Like I said, Flagstaff is really my second hometown, I moved there when I was fifteen, and only stayed for about 5 more years. So maybe I missed out on a lot of childhood field trips, and local stories about Percival Lowell.
This channel is fantastic,absolutely amazing,you are a real school not just a channel on UA-cam !!!......I want to write more,but I can't find my words !!!
The visuals, the narration and the music especially, is stunning. Probably the most finely crafted videos on UA-cam. Is the music from the title original?
If only Lowell could have lived to see the up-close exploration of mars It’d probably have made him happy if only he knew that someday, long after he was gone, we would know so much more about mars
Excellent series of videos. Very well done. I started watching them a few days ago and I’m up to this one, with every intention of watching the whole series. The graphics are great and the narration is very good and compelling. I remember the old History and National Geographics channels on TV and these are better. Keep up the good work.
This is an amazing page for both asking the important questions and giving examples of what we know while leaving that which we don't know up to the interpretation of future scientific thinkers. Great documentaries.
The fact Earth has a magnetic field strong enough to negate solar wind probably has more to do with the fact Earth also has the core of Thea to work with as opposed to Earth's size.
Flat earthers and science deniers will not watch this video due to fear. When Galileo presented his telescope to the pope and invited the clerics to see through it, they all refused being fearful that what they would see will destroy their belief that the universe revolved around earth. Galileo was thrown in prison for heresy and his claim the earth revolved around the sun.
Absolutely stunning. No other words for it. Congratulations to all those who have contributed to its production I have subscribed and circulated it to all my three generations of descendants. When are the following releases due >
I think that water was present even in the beginning of Earth's formation or evolution wherein the earth is the one who have it's complete elements which is capable of providing a living things.
Yes, it probably is hypnotic, it has to be in order for people to believe it. But just think about it. Evilution is telling us that nothing exploded and made everything. Then rain upon the rocks formed a primordial soup, which lightning striked and formed a single cell, an amoeba, which over millions of years became man, all by chance with favourable mutations. It's a far fetched theory. People should read the Bible that has never been proven wrong. There remains maintains of evidence of a world wide flood that destroyed the earth just 4500 years ago just as the Bible says
@@HistoryoftheEarth I remember watching a documentary written and presented by Dr Brian Cox about how the earth formed and all that good stuff. But he's a particle physicist and as usual, when trying to understand physics, at some point my brain crashed. I'm not a stupid person but physics and me do not get along! This was much more my speed :D
This is one of the best documentary video that i have viewed. What an eye opening the subject. The narrator made the video come to life. It's a pleasure to welcome a new channel that will be known for the quality of their videos. Once more thanks for sharing.
Wonderful covid-lockdown viewing! Thank you! What a wealth of online content has come out this year in particular - shows how what may look like a crisis to some, is an opportunity for others to spread their knowledge and sense of wonder, to those who would otherwise be so locked up in previous life habits that they'd miss it. Thank you, thank you!
This is excellent, wonderful, and on and on... Great writing. Beautiful graphics! The voice of the narrator is elegant and concise. This is very well done. 4.0 gpa
I find the actual information and story of how our earth began and went along to get to where it is far more fascinating and awe inspiring than any religious creation story.
There is currently a hypothesis that it was never free liquid water on Mars, it has been proposed that it was all ice. The erosion that we see on Mars today is consistent with glaciation. Water at the base of glaciers cause the exact same type of erosion on earth as seen on Mars. We see similar erosion patterns in the north where glaciers have receded and the proposed hypothesis links actual observations on earth and Mars. This would explain a great deal and makes more sense than the great oceans theories. A free liquid ocean on Mars does not make much sense as there is no real evidence to support a persisant existence, only conjecture for great oceans on Mars with no real evidence. The signs of erosion by water are constant with glaciation. So, it's probable that Mars was a snowball planet. Over time the water has simply been lost to space, Ice can produce water vapour without being liquid, it just takes longer. It suggests that Mars never had a dense atmosphere and if this really was what happened, it never needed one to take the journey to get to where it is today.
Mars had a liquid core of molten iron at one point so liquid water on its surface is not unthinkable.....Every sign we see from there does support dead and old seas, Mars is just too old, small, and to far out to sustain water and heat......
It is a hypothesis so it isn't conclusive. The hypothesis for a watery world still persists and I don't think we know enough or have enough evidence to come to any absolute conclusion at this time. It will be interesting to see what future missions may uncover. Food for thought.
Mars has been without water for so long ( if it ever had any) it sure seems to me that sand erosion should have eliminated water erosion signs long long ago. Why do people think that water erosion signs should still persist after billions of years?
@@HistoryoftheEarth hey im curious how you could say that there was never an ancient civilization on mars? That isn't 100% true. There are alot of curious structures there, evidence of water and this was all billions of years ago. There may have been life before we had any. Your smart you should know there is information being withheld from the general public. Your awesome either way.
Well, what can I say? Another fantastic video, which you produce again and again, every time it's a wonderful production of history, beauty and accurate science. All of you are so talented, I would LOVE to see a short introduction video introducing everybody...I would love to meet you all.

Loving these videos guys. Clearly a labour of love and that comes across in everything from the composition of the video and audio to the calming and engaging narration. I'm recommending you to many folk. Keep up the good work. Peace x
I am a teaching assistant for a university unit on introductory astronomy & astrobiology. I am now going to direct students to your videos. Thank you.
This is fantastic, great narration, clearly explained and at just the right pace, entertaining and informative, can't wait for more from you guys. Hope you cover a wide range of topics and disciplines.
First of all: thank you for producing a wonderful documentary indicating the origins of water. Again thank you. This IS appreciated.
I know this channel is only a couple months old but you guys deserve way more subs.
Just brilliant. So glad to have found this channel. It makes so much of the day to day drama seem so trivial. Wish I could bring this to schools and dump most of what they seen to be learning. We might become more curious as humans rather than operating at the LCD level.
I love how Jupiter is almost portrayed as an evil villain trying to destroy Earth and Mars. It really makes for a compelling story that keeps you hooked. It's almost Attenborough-esque.
Just mentioned of David Attenborough made me want to watch it. I was teetering the other way so thank you for the info.
I got the opposite sense. If it weren't for Jupiter, we never would've gotten our water. Jupiter's a good lad!
Leila, Pete and the gang .... Thank you, this is great stuff ...... mind boggling material ...
Thank you! Plenty more mind-boggling to come :)
No pack drill or gimmicks - just good solid and very entertaining history and science. Brilliant video that hooks the viewer in like a Whodunit - bravo.
Well produced. Great narration, story, visuals, and mood music.
I thought the short, 60s western-style cowboy music, was a little interesting.
Percival Lowell was imaginative, intuitive, allowing us a little look over his shoulder while doing so. Being wrong on a few things, he allowed us to say "well and why not ?" asking "what if" until we know better. Thanks for the videos 😊
This was great. It's an unbelievably complex series of events and circumstances explained so clearly, that even I could understand it. I look forward to more.
Wow. By now I'm always looking forward to the new episodes. It is very interesting, while presentation offers a calm and serene atmosphere. I really like it a lot
Watching for the second time. I love your job! Keep going and you will be rewarded. Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
Thankyou! We appreciate it
Rewarded by whom?
Just found this channel. I must have died and gone to heaven
Glad to have you here. Welcome!
Same. I feel like im 12 years old watching old school discovery channel again. before it was taken over by reality tv garbage
@@fakiirification right there with you... I hate those deadly fishing, deadly kilos, deadly creatures... I'll never eat a crude scorpion, or try to survive in the amazonia naked...
I love the eclectic manner in which you tell the story of history. The back and forth from ancient past to the very recent past to tell the bigger story.
This series, coupled with the history of the universe, really puts it into perspective how unlikely life is, and how likely it is that we are alone despite the vast size of the galaxy. Space is just so deadly for life, and it's so astronomically difficult for the conditions to be just right for life to come about. Either we are alone, or we are so few, isolated, and far between, that we might as well be alone.
I love the fact that from 15K subscribers, 11K have already watched this (I know it's not as lineal as that) but I like how elevated that ratius is.
I appreciate the first segments of each video that discuss our recent history in learning about the episode's topic, really puts into perspective how short a time we've known about the billions of years of Earth's history (or at least the parts that we know so far)
Thanks for watching. The history of how we know about ancient earth is just as interesting as ancient earth itself
Probably the best series of its type I've ever seen! Congratulations, and thanks.
I just discovered this channel and watched five videos in a row. This is simply amazing! How did I not know about this sooner? One of my favorite channels and shows ever now!
The narration, the script, the visuals and all the wonderful info you give, for free! Love this channel! 🤩 I'm binge-watching this 😁
Thank you for this poetic, beautifully done and comprehensive video of an enormously complicated subject. It does make the pain of destruction so much greater. Mankind today is destroying this life blood of our planet and most people aren't even aware of the subject, much less the danger.
Also overblown by totalitarians to make us willingly become slaves. Don't take anything at face value, and check it yourself if poss. The amount of lies in this society is beyond measure.

@@End_Domestic_Violence Go Humans!
@@End_Domestic_Violence Humans have only existed for 200,000 years and will likely become a different species in 200,000 years.
What humans are doing to the planet pales in comparison to the events that caused the great extinctions of the past. Siberian super volcanoes caused the Permian extinction (The Great Dying). 63 million years age an asteroid killed the dinosaurs except for the birds. Human caused damage? The Earth will shake us off like a bad case of fleas. It isn't going anywhere, but humans certainly will (go away). -channeling the late, great philosopher, George Carlin
Okay, I'm subscribing . Just keep up the great content. You have an informative and enthusiastic approach to the material. Rock on guys, you'll grow. Kris
Really enjoy these videos, they are super well scripted! Small correction, though, H.G. Wells died in 1946, you made a typo at 4:03 where it says that he died in 1966
Edit: another one: I guess it's a little bit misleading saying that water is two thirds hydrogen. It is of course two atoms out of the three making up the molecular compound, but in terms of mass, it only constitutes around 1/9 because of oxygen's considerable mass compared to hydrogen.
Finding history, is finding truth
I saw that and was thrown for a second. Ah, typos happen - probably hard to correct once they're posted!
Molecularly it is two thirds Hydrogen
I thought H G wells died in 1966 i must have it mix up with sum one else
@Singer Impressions Isn't it 'aitch'? But I agree there's no 'Huh' in it...
I love the Firefly like music in this show! This is a masterpiece! Better than anything on television! I love it!
I kept thinking I'd heard this voice somewhere before, then it hit me - Voices of the Past!!
Your narration really brings the beautiful script to life. Keep up the great work.
Great work. Saw all of your videos till now today. Hope to see more such incredible content. I hope you will continue with geology in this channel, especially the precambrian supereon. 7/8 th of the earths history is too much neglected in popular science.
When I read the publication information of this item I flooded tears, complex edrocrinal tears: an ecstacy. Beautifully, approaching flawlessly, mounted on the channel.
The tears of enlightenment.
i JUST found the History Time Channel and now this?!?!?! My New Favorite channel ! Well done my friends! Thank you for staying true! #NashvillePianoman
I found u yesterday and i gotta say in 14 years of youtube educational channels this is hands down the best channel. I cant give any higher praise
Outstanding production! Just as good if not better than anything on TV!
Wow, Flagstaff is pretty much my second hometown, and while I was always aware of Lowell Observatory, I honestly didn't know a thing about the person behind the name. I always thought whatever Lowell it was named after was an inconsequential person. On top of that, I always heard the observatory's claim to fame was that it was where Pluto was discovered. So I never knew any of this stuff about Percival Lowell, or Mars until now! Like I said, Flagstaff is really my second hometown, I moved there when I was fifteen, and only stayed for about 5 more years. So maybe I missed out on a lot of childhood field trips, and local stories about Percival Lowell.
Dude... You put this together yourself? Amazing production! If anyone was ever out there putting in work and EARNING subs, it is you.
Check out the notes and links under the video.
That was basically an 8 minute intro. This video was great.
This channel is fantastic,absolutely amazing,you are a real school not just a channel on UA-cam !!!......I want to write more,but I can't find my words !!!
The visuals, the narration and the music especially, is stunning. Probably the most finely crafted videos on UA-cam. Is the music from the title original?
If only Lowell could have lived to see the up-close exploration of mars
It’d probably have made him happy if only he knew that someday, long after he was gone, we would know so much more about mars
Excellent series of videos. Very well done. I started watching them a few days ago and I’m up to this one, with every intention of watching the whole series. The graphics are great and the narration is very good and compelling. I remember the old History and National Geographics channels on TV and these are better. Keep up the good work.
Co discoverer of evolution Alfred Wallace was one of those who debunked Lowell's theory of Martian civilization.
Well, guess he got one thing right anyway.
All these theories are debunked by the Holy Bible which tells us everything we're looking for.
@@60tbird1 see how science likes to sway people away from all of God's creations 👀
Wesley Andries , it’s all part of the satanic script to turn people away from the Bible and God almighty.
60tbird1 are you really that stupid?
This is an amazing page for both asking the important questions and giving examples of what we know while leaving that which we don't know up to the interpretation of future scientific thinkers. Great documentaries.
This video is a work of art- like listening to poetry while gazing upon something beautiful. Amazing work I absolutely loved it.
Weather update: Temperatures are way down and the floor is No Longer Lava.
I think that this series FAR exceeds the BBC Universe series ...concise , pithy...indepth...brilliant .
The fact Earth has a magnetic field strong enough to negate solar wind probably has more to do with the fact Earth also has the core of Thea to work with as opposed to Earth's size.
Another great video. I wish flat earthers and other science deniers would watch this
Flat earthers and science deniers will not watch this video due to fear.
When Galileo presented his telescope to the pope and invited the clerics to see through it, they all refused being fearful that what they would see will destroy their belief that the universe revolved around earth.
Galileo was thrown in prison for heresy and his claim the earth revolved around the sun.
Love this series, it's amazing thanks I'm going to watch every show. From beginning to end. Thank you.
Absolutely stunning. No other words for it. Congratulations to all those who have contributed to its production I have subscribed and circulated it to all my three generations of descendants. When are the following releases due >
I think that water was present even in the beginning of Earth's formation or evolution wherein the earth is the one who have it's complete elements which is capable of providing a living things.
Water is life
The narration is incredible, so compelling - hypnotic, seductive visuals. Liked and wholeheartedly subscribed!
seems like you orgasmed from it
Would be better if he said aitch and not Haitch .....ugh
Yes, it probably is hypnotic, it has to be in order for people to believe it. But just think about it. Evilution is telling us that nothing exploded and made everything. Then rain upon the rocks formed a primordial soup, which lightning striked and formed a single cell, an amoeba, which over millions of years became man, all by chance with favourable mutations.
It's a far fetched theory.
People should read the Bible that has never been proven wrong.
There remains maintains of evidence of a world wide flood that destroyed the earth just 4500 years ago just as the Bible says
Yes, satanically seductive to get you away from the truth of the Bible.
60tbird None of what you said is true. Wow that’s ignorant medieval nonsense right there!
Really enjoyed this, thanks! Also thanks due for making it incredibly understandable :)
Thanks for watching ! Plenty more on the way !
@@HistoryoftheEarth I remember watching a documentary written and presented by Dr Brian Cox about how the earth formed and all that good stuff. But he's a particle physicist and as usual, when trying to understand physics, at some point my brain crashed. I'm not a stupid person but physics and me do not get along! This was much more my speed :D

This is one of the best documentary video that i have viewed. What an eye opening the subject. The narrator made the video come to life. It's a pleasure to welcome a new channel that will be known for the quality of their videos. Once more thanks for sharing.
Man. My ADHD is so bad I watched this entire thing but didn't hear a word. Life is a trip.
Take diet Meth, it helped me
Awesome documentary. Great visuals, narrating, and facts. It takes quite a bit for me to sub a channel, but you've got another sub here.
loving this series, really great stuff!
Thanks for watching !
Wonderful covid-lockdown viewing! Thank you! What a wealth of online content has come out this year in particular - shows how what may look like a crisis to some, is an opportunity for others to spread their knowledge and sense of wonder, to those who would otherwise be so locked up in previous life habits that they'd miss it. Thank you, thank you!
No lock down for me since I'm a trucker
A treat. Both the contents and the narration.
This is excellent, wonderful, and on and on... Great writing. Beautiful graphics! The voice of the narrator is elegant and concise. This is very well done. 4.0 gpa
The longest but the most logical intro I've ever seen 🤣
I really enjoyed your poetic treatment of language. Very nice!
I predict this channel will be massive one day soon....
I find the actual information and story of how our earth began and went along to get to where it is far more fascinating and awe inspiring than any religious creation story.
Really good programme. Thank you for making these. So much on YT is so bad, but this fulfils the promise of YT as a viable medium for quality content.
This was mesmerizing. Much too short. As good as a production and story weaving can be.
Very wonderful and well narrsted series! I've enjoyed through and through.
If I could make a wish, make a video about Jupiter and the other gas giants
Okay!
*narrated
There is currently a hypothesis that it was never free liquid water on Mars, it has been proposed that it was all ice. The erosion that we see on Mars today is consistent with glaciation. Water at the base of glaciers cause the exact same type of erosion on earth as seen on Mars. We see similar erosion patterns in the north where glaciers have receded and the proposed hypothesis links actual observations on earth and Mars. This would explain a great deal and makes more sense than the great oceans theories. A free liquid ocean on Mars does not make much sense as there is no real evidence to support a persisant existence, only conjecture for great oceans on Mars with no real evidence. The signs of erosion by water are constant with glaciation. So, it's probable that Mars was a snowball planet. Over time the water has simply been lost to space, Ice can produce water vapour without being liquid, it just takes longer. It suggests that Mars never had a dense atmosphere and if this really was what happened, it never needed one to take the journey to get to where it is today.
Mars had a liquid core of molten iron at one point so liquid water on its surface is not unthinkable.....Every sign we see from there does support dead and old seas, Mars is just too old, small, and to far out to sustain water and heat......
It is a hypothesis so it isn't conclusive. The hypothesis for a watery world still persists and I don't think we know enough or have enough evidence to come to any absolute conclusion at this time. It will be interesting to see what future missions may uncover. Food for thought.
Mars has been without water for so long ( if it ever had any) it sure seems to me that sand erosion should have eliminated water erosion signs long long ago.
Why do people think that water erosion signs should still persist after billions of years?
Excellent. Brian Perkins, retired Producer/Director - BBC Natural History Unit/Time-Life.
Lowell's influence is much better understood as Edgar Rice Burroughs's John Carter, released in the early 20th century
this guy deserves more subs
Mmm water.., perfect topic on a hot summer day. I'll have a jug to this. :-)
Makes me want to go for a swim
This was awesome- great video very informative
Thanks for watching !
@@HistoryoftheEarth hey im curious how you could say that there was never an ancient civilization on mars? That isn't 100% true. There are alot of curious structures there, evidence of water and this was all billions of years ago. There may have been life before we had any. Your smart you should know there is information being withheld from the general public. Your awesome either way.
Well, what can I say? Another fantastic video, which you produce again and again, every time it's a wonderful production of history, beauty and accurate science. All of you are so talented, I would LOVE to see a short introduction video introducing everybody...I would love to meet you all. Please consider this and again, thank you for unbelievable stunning work.
I like the poetic ambition with the language, this is not an ordinary UA-cam thing.
