    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!

    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.)

    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.

      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
