When the narrator said, that they "found Japan"...they DIDN'T found in reality Japan and the Indies. They found America without knowing it and called the natives therefore Indians and some islands "Japan" etc. They were at first NOT aware of the fact, that this wasn't India and Japan but a complete new continent. The narrator wanted to highlight that error of Columbus with that ironic way of telling it.
I’ve watched dozens of reactions to this video, and no one ever comments on that part - I worry that they don’t get it. there’s a reason for the “probably smoking crack” comment.
@@HiddenPulse04 dude, collumbus went out to see to find india. Than after weeks of sailing, they finally find land. They make a map of it, they see its similar too japan and are happy then they are faced with the reality of it beeing a complete different continent.
Japan is notorious for not being very honest in their school system when describing WW2. It's actually why there is still so much tension between China and Japan.
I heard something like over half of the Japanese population doesn’t even know who the bad guys were during ww2, and i also heard that a big percentage of their population doesn’t even know who hitler was but take that last one with a grain of salt im not completely sure about that.
Yeah that’s not true at all. Like someone else pointed out most younger Japanese people have almost no historical knowledge about WW2. Many didn’t know what Hitler did and many don’t even know that the swastika was used as a symbol for the Nazi party and often simply just assume it’s a weirdly oriented ‘manji,’ which is a similarly shaped symbol used in Buddhism. As for the older generations, many either don’t know the extent of Japan’s horrific war crimes or flat out deny it. In fact, I’m surprised you say that when Japan is actually known for the fact that they usually deny that they even committed war crimes (particularly in Nanking). The reason there is so much tension between Japan and other southeastern countries like China and the Koreas is simply because while Japan may deny it, their people had to suffer through the Japanese occupation. To clarify, I am not from Southeast Asia, but I would imagine that Japan’s attitude towards it only furthers the contempt between those nations. Edit: fixed a word
Almost like the British not being taught about the opium wars. (This is not a dig on British people or Japanese, or germans, it's a dig on governments and education systems that hide the histroy to keep people fighting with each other. USA is just as bad)
I'm not japanese but I have a japanese friend that told me that they were barely taught anything about ww2. And I also saw a vid that showed them the nazi symbol and they had no idea what is was
That was do to Gen. MacArthur's planning. He admired the Japanese culture a lot. He didn't want them to fall into the same trap post WW1 Germany fell into.
@@Souledex Ehh, the swastika has its origin in Hinduism WAY before the nazis decided the symbol was cool and it had a really positive meaning back then until you know, the holoc**st happpened. So Asians, or at least east and south-east Asians encounter them in temples really often. I mean, it’s bad that WW2 is not really taught in Japan by what you guys are saying but it is equally bad that the origin of the symbol isn’t that known in western countries until you research about it.
As others have said Japan basically ignores WW2 in their education system. The US compromised after the war and allowed the emperor and generals and politicians stay in power, because doing otherwise would have pissed off the Japanese so much the war would have started up again. We forget because they’re kawaii af but their right wing party is basically if the nazis were still around in Germany.
Main reason is they have suddenly started portraying themselves as victims after getting nuked twice and that too on a civilian population. Also, China turned communist and world didn't even recognised till 1971 and by that time not a lot of people cared about atrocities on Chinese in the West.
“It’s either 2.5 or 3.5” technically he isn’t wrong, (well he is but) the age of the Earth has been drastically inflated just to fit the Evolutionary timeframe for the Universe in the past. It was originally viewed by people in the the pre-enlightenment era to be around 6,000-10,000 years old, the 1700’s it was 70,000, in the 1800s started assertions of millions of years but and started to become widely accepted, then from there on it started increasing to 2.5 billion years then to 4.6 billion where it is where it is currently The age of the has been increasing prior to the discovery of radiometric dating so I don’t blame them for not know the age of the Earth.
Evolution is caused by mutations. Individuals with helpful mutations give their mutation to their offspring, while individuals with unhelpful mutations die off.
Disclaimer!!!! Please don't get mad but one thing the Nazis did right was eradicate basically all disability and hereditary Disease in central Europe. Obv testing on live subjects is messed up but it put our medical knowledge ahead by at least two centuries, not to mention Nuclear Tech, Missiles and Satellites. They also had a plan to build a massive dam spanning the Iberian peninsula called "Alantropa" to create clean energy and also turn the Sahara desert back into Fertile land to be farmed, feeding vast amounts of Africa's starving population. One of the coolest things the Nazis discovered through their Experiments with the occult was an undetectable form of energy that connects humans(Only found by testing on Identical twins) The CIA, MI6 and KGB still use the Nazis research as a template for their research into Telepathy ect. Lost my train of thought lmao
@@JonahLoeb okay I'm sober now so I'll reiterated. Due to forced euthanasia of people with hereditary disabilities and diseases under Nazi rule along with insane eugenics programs, the population of central Europe was almost cleansed of such health issues. For example in some nations it is literally illegal for people with Dwarfism to have children for obvious not so black and white moral reasons. The Soviets developed Satellites using technology they had seized from Germany after their surrender and also during as thousands of scientists (who were the greatest in the world at the time, Einstein as a pop culture example) defected to allied nations. Americas Nuclear technology advanced as quickly as it did thanks to turncoat Nazis. Werner Von Braun, one of the Nazis most prestigious Minds (also a close friend of Walt Disney), inventor of the Rocket and Ballistic Missile was directly involved in the founding of NASA. Von Braun chose to help the Allies because he originally had planned to use the technology for Space exploration (Which was why it only took 2 decades to get to the moon, the work was already being done in the Reich for Years) Unfortunately the Americans forced Von Braun and the other Nazi scientists who founded NASA to help develop the Atomic Bomb. The Aryan Ideology is nothing like the skewed vision Hitler&co had, it is actually rooted deeply in Hinduism, Celtic and Nordic Ideology&Mythology. The modern perception of what the Vision of an Aryan world would be is nothing how we imagine. What the Nazis called the Jewish Cabal is what is now referred to as 'Illuminati" or "World Government" and in America they call it the Deep State. The Nazis were extreme Conservationists and were one of the first Governments in modern time to create Laws against Animal Abuse, promote Vegetarianism and Clean energy, Like "Atlantropa" the biggest free clean energy project of the 20th century. Yes, they did experiment with things like telepathy and advanced our knowledge on the Magnetic field that surrounds our bodies and interacts with the Electric field, which we used to call an "Aura". And Yes the Allied Intelligence Organizations did seize all of this research (along w everything else) and still use it as a template today. Now do I think that's morally grey, Using Medical research from the Psychological to Biological that was obtained by using people as Guinea pigs, Yes because it's obviously wrong. But it did advance our Medical knowledge of all fields by at least a century. I don't personally agree with the Ideology of the Nazis but absolutely nothing I have said was wrong, it just seems crazy on the surface.
Regarding your conversation about the pyramids, that is correct that the pyramids were not built by slaves, they were built by master artisans and engineers who were well paid and were even buried in a structure nearby the pyramids. I have no idea how the whole slave narrative came about.
I forget your gf’s name but when she said about, “People told me women died for me to be able to vote....” Exactly, women died for your RIGHT to vote. You don’t have to vote for anything, that is also your right. The element of choice is what a democracy is
exactly i hate when people try to guilt trip people into voting like that especially if its about some historically oppressed group gaining the right to vote. its just sick and selfish to try to coerce people like that
They're not rights, they're privileges. We all have the privilege of voting but our voting privileges can be taken away at any point, that is not a right.
@@Mike-mc3sh By that logical all "rights" are just privileges, as any of them can be taken away at any time. Even your right to life could be taken into government hands.
The story with Mansa Musa was that he was the richest man in history. Mali was blessed with gold mines and other advantageous situations and resources that allowed them to exploit the riches of the world. The trip that he took was the Hajj, an Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia that is technically required at least once per lifetime if I remember well. On his way to Mecca he would gift so much gold and stuff as a show of wealth that the economy of those places crashed since gold wasn't worth as much any more for a while. I'm sure there's more to it, but that's the basics at least.
That is a true fact, Mansa Musa was so rich that when ever he went to a small City or Country its Economy crashed. Just to the shear amount of money he brought with him.
Lizards that can grown their tails back have DNA that has genes for growing tails back. Other things with tails don’t have genes for that so their tails don’t grow back. Not a lot of people know, but women when they’re pregnant grow a yolk sac in their uterus, likely due to genes passed on down through evolution from a lineage that in he distant past was an egg layer. Fascinating stuff.
The "Japan" reference is actually Cuba. Unfortunately, Chris didn't know about circumference. Might've helped him figure our he wasn't in the right place.
Roanoke is in Virginia (USA) and it was colonized by English settlers (don't ask what happened to them LOL). The vikings (possibly Leif Erikson, if my memory serves me) sailed to Canada way before that, like 700 years or so before that. Either way, you might be a bit confused with the dates, but you're not wrong, both events happened.
From my understanding, in Japan they don't really teach about Nanking and the atrocities there. I've watched videos of Japanese individuals who are educating themselves about the Japanese atrocities and they are quite shocked that they don't learn about it in school really.
the Vikings lived in Greenland, Iceland and parts of North America, like near Canada and USA areas, what they called Vinland but it may have all ended due to the little ice age in medieval times.
I respect the decision not to vote when you don't feel informed enough on the subject, and I wish more people had that mentality. I get what people are saying when they say "women fought for your right to vote as a woman" but the right to vote includes the right _not_ to vote, to decide for yourself what you want to vote for, if at all. That's not the same as political apathy or indifference.
YES, do a video on the pyramids, but make sure to cover ALL societies that had them; I mean we all know about the pyramids in Egypt, but the Mayans as well as the Khmer kingdom
She makes a good point I think a lot of people don't get, its ok to not vote for or side on something if you dont understand that thing or feel you have enough information to pick a side. Thats a very dangerous thing to blindly make decisions not knowing the repercussions or why that decision exist so to try and lower someone for that seems insanely ignorant and also dangerous.
The better option would be to simply take a little time to educate yourself about the issue before voting. It generally takes far less time than most people spend doing things like watching videos on reaction channels or looking at their social media. Not doing so is simply laziness. You don't have to be an expert in a subject to gain an understanding of the potential impacts of a specific bill/ballot initiative. It's pretty sad that people will spend hours online doing nothing productive whatsoever, but then come up with excuses to not do a few minutes of really basic research on issues that can drastically impact their lives.
I mean to a certain extent she's not wrong. That DOES happen because their DNA makes it possible. However yeah, this is self replication whereas she is meaning regeneration.
This is probably the first time (and I've watched dozens of reactions to this video) that somebody got the "I wonder if there's room for Moors" pun. And Mansa Musa didn't go on tour, he did go on Hajj to Mecca.
To answer your question about Japan and WW2, basically, we're taught about the war but from a victim's perspective. And when there's any mention of it, it'll usually be about how the US bombed us. That's one of the main reasons why we're still hated by our neighbours.
The debris-to-Moon theory was strongly backed up by rock samples brought back from the Apollo Moon landings. The rocks were studied and found to be the same as those of the early Earth. IIRC, they were very light gray, almost white-colored on the inside.
Mansa Musa was a king of Mali and he was a Muslim. So, almost every year he went to Mecca for pilgrimage. Along the way to Mecca, he gave charity and bought many things, because of that many cities (mostly northern Africa) were inflated, the economy were "ruined" because many people got rich. In addition, Italians did businesses and trading with northern African, so they were rich as well and they were able to fund for Renaissance, etc.
I love that you two discussed things throughout. Most reactors just sit there stunned. And yes, I would be very interested in seeing what you want to show us about the building of the Pyramids. Nice!
if you were watching something that absolved germany of responsibility for ww1 then that is kind of ridiculous imo. austria only went to war because germany urged them to, as austria stood no chance against russia and france. germany wanted to invade france for decades prior to ww1 and both world wars was an expression of that desire the treaty of versailles also was not that bad compared to the treaties everyone else faced upon defeat in a war at the time.
As history buff this is so enjoyable. I've seen the video many times and love it every time i watch it again, but the reaction on the elaboration based on your guys history knowledge makes me consider different aspects. Just found you guys and I'm starting to binge watch. Keep up the good work. Found you guys through your stand up comedy reactions. a Few guys I would suggest Bill Burr Tom Segura Patrice O'Neal
If I’m not mistaken… They know for sure that slaves didn’t build the pyramids by the tombs they found of some workers who were said to of died while building them. Also with how advanced the pyramids were there’s ancient cities that are on par with how impressive they are and were built even earlier.
In the words of a great 20th century Canadian philosopher, “If you choose not to decide You still have made a choice”. - Neil Peart 1980 I respect your choice to not vote for something you aren’t sure of. 👍🏻✌🏻
Regarding Abyssinia - fun fact - the rastafarian religios movement has as a central figure the emperor Haile Selasie. Before being crowned emperor and re-baptized as Haile Selassie (they were christian orthodox...kinda' so they had part of the rituals of christian monarchy), he was called Taffari Makonnen and his title was Ras (meaning Lion)...so he was Ras Tafari...rastafsrianims...rastaman (the second Italian-Abyssinian war was the subject of my bachelor degree paper...😅 'fun times')...they also claimed that they were descedents from Queen Sheeba and I think they claim to this day that they have the Arc of the Covenant
Apart from what others say about Japan, I also recently learned lots of countries gloss over ww2, but not to the extend of Japan of course. Lots of people on this planet doesnt actually know how certain group came into power in Germany, and what they did.
The thing about not blaming Germany is that, and Bec pointed it out as well, they did commit the most atrocities. It's like say, your neighbour cuts down your apple tree from your orchard and you retaliate by killing your neighbour, obviously you'll face the most repercussions, innit. So, regardless of how much blame Germany gets for the war, they themselves shot themselves on the foot by taking it too far. And that's what they were punished for in the end.
The Pyramids were built by humans. They weren’t slaves either. Citizens from all over Egypt. All citizens were paid with beer mostly to dedicate a fees of their life to building. Ancient records show all of this. It took about 50 years to build. The Nile river at that time flowed very close to the pyramids so they could sail the huge stones down the Nile by boats. Ancient people were a lot more intelligent than we modern day humans think. The Mayans, Egyptians and many other cultures in Africa knew things about the stars that modern human didn’t have knowledge of until the 1700 and 1800 hundreds. They knew and forgot many mathematical and scientific knowledge long along. Most knowledge was lost to humans due to natural disasters and war. The libraries of Alexandria and Timbuktu held huge records of the knowledge of the ancient world, but were destroyed and most of the knowledge wasn’t rediscovered for hundreds of years later. No aliens...humans. FYI, Roanoke was over 100 years after Columbus 1492 sail to the Americas. It was an English colony in the state of Virginia. By the way, there are UA-cam videos about how WWII is taught in countries including Japan.
Consider this next time someone gives you shit for not voting; it's a lyric from a song ... "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice". Your choice to not vote is just as valid a choice. You voted, by not voting. Don't let anyone wind you up about it.
Why is the industrial revolution boring? side note, In the U.S. we spent about two weeks on the industrial revolution in Britain and in US history another month, and I find it rather fascinating.
35:58 We need more people like Becc. If you don't understand something, you probably should skip the vote so people who actually understand it to make an educated decision. As an American, I notice way too many people, especially those my age (early 20s) in this country vote for someone based on what their friend tells them instead of doing their own research. Its sad to be honest but Becc definitely gained respect points from me for admitting to not knowing something therefore not participating.
The issue with saying China is that old is that it isn’t. The area we know as China have had people in it for ages but China has been broken apart and reformed and invaded and ruled by emperors from Mongolia or Japan and the like that it’s way too oversimplified, and this isn’t that channel.
Fun Fact: Cleopatra lived closer to the present then she did to the creation of the pyramids. That's how old they are, they were probably made by the first people to live by the Nile
The way Homosapiens (current humans) were created was that people from different backgrounds (think Homo erectus "upright man" and Homo habilis "handyman") started having kids when they met and I guess that's how we started existing.
Xia China has little to do with the current China. It was a little part of what we call today China and it changed a lot over history. It'd be like saying ancient Greece was the European civilisation which is still around. But it changed a lot and a lot of other Euro territories had a major part in it. We just use the name China for convenience, it's just a name westerners gave to the region, a name based on the Qin dynasty.
23:44 Hardly anyone picks up on this because I think the video is going so fast, but the guy says Columbus discovers the Indies and Japan, then tilts the map to show it was actually Cuba. It took Europe a bit longer to "discover" Japan.
Columbus thought the world was half the size it actually is. Everyone else was pretty much correct about the size, but he thought their math was off and that it was actually way smaller. With the size that it is and not knowing that there were two other continents to the west people in Europe at the time simply thought it was too far to make it to Asia by sailing that way. You wouldn't be able to carry enough supplies to make it. Columbus was actually about out of supplies when he hit the Caribbean so had there not been two continents there then he would have just run out of supplies and died like everyone thought would happen.
Regarding population, it exploded because of the industrial revolution (medicine + food surplus). People underestimate a lot how hard was life before that, few children survived until adulthood. Later the birthrate decreased mostly in Western countries (recently some part of Asian countries as well). But the rest of the world exploded, and Africa is still exploding (100 million people in 1900, 1.4 billion people now). While in the west and japan we can't even reach the replacement level.
Earth is closer to 5 billion years old, but you were at least close! Universe is estimated to be almost 15 billion as well. Also, yes it was the Vikings that discovered North America LONG before Columbus. Also, they didn't discover Japan, Columbus only THOUGHT it was Japan due to it being a similar island shape to Japan (which is why the video shows the Caribbean on a tilted axis like that, to show how similar it looks to Japan).
The DNA instructions telling it how to build another one of itself is how our skin/muscle/bone cells replicate to heal wounds, build muscles, or repair breaks. Those tiny little specks eating chemical soup were single cells themselves, as opposed to multi-celled organisms like plants or animals, so it was easy for them to replicate quickly and thus evolve quickly (think little bacterias evolving immunity to antibiotics).
Roanoke was the first British attempt at a permanent settlement in the new world. It was way after Columbus first arrived. What I believe you’re referring to was Lief Ericsson who landed in modern day Canada before Columbus arrived.
There wasn't any reason to explore west until the Ottomans blocked Europe from reaching India by land. Because Marco Polo stated distance by time spent travelling and was so slow, Asia was depicted on maps as being very incorrectly large. putting Cuba in the expected position of "Sipangu," a supposed land of gold to the east of China in Polo's writing. The sun rose from Japan's direction and considered the cradle of life in China, ergo gold, somehow. You'd know Sipangu as El Dorado and it's why the Spanish became so brutally insistent on colonisation
Roanoke was in the 1600s and founded by English settlers. The vikings are speculated to have landed in modern day Northern Canada in the 1100-1200s; which is still not 100% proven. The joke in this video about Columbus landing in the Indies and Japan is that he thought Cuba and nearby islands were Japan and the Indies. They also thought the Native tribes in America were Indians, from India. Which is why they are called Indians even today. Also, the main reason other countries never spent a lot of time or resources to find India by sailing across the Atlantic ocean is it wasn't deemed worth the cost. European kingdoms had well traveled trading routes through the middle east via the silk road and sailing was still very dangerous and costly at the time. Path of least resistance was to keep trading with India and China by land through the Middle East or by sailing around Africa.
Norseman: The time period of the industrial revolution was really boring. Pretty much nothing happened back then. Germany: No problem. We will make your lives much more interesting pretty soon.
You wondered how other countries teach WW2? Well I can tell you about my experience in the United States education. It's split around the middle between the European and Pacific theaters of the war. In Europe we are taught mostly the contribution of the United States and secondly the United Kingdom. Only Soviet contribution we're taught is The Battle of Stalingrad and The Battle of Berlin. Then my teacher spent a day going over the use of the Atomic Bombs and showed us a recreation of one of the A-Bomb droppings which was a thing of nightmares. It was almost like they don't want us using a nuke again... Huh... Imagine that. Lol
Mansa Musa was a Muslim, so he was taking his hajj to Mecca, and he had so much money he was being super "generous" and overpaid for stuff along the way, which messed with a bunch of economies by causing mass inflation with the sudden infusion of money/gold.
We'll continue to get taller to a certain extent. We'll eventually hit a point where we are optimally tall for our environment. It's just that either we haven't hit that point yet, or the optimum height varies through time, which I think is more likely. As to who's more advanced, it really is subjective and differs based on a lot of things. China is definitely more advanced in some regards. Also yeah, we really aren't painted in a good light in this, but to be fair the morality and societal norms of the time were VASTLY different than they are now. It was still a dick move, but at the time it was a bit understandable.
The Vikings never made a permanent settlement in North America, Roanoke was England’s first colony in North America. The first permanent colony in North America was St. Augustine and it was made by Spain.
The world population is absolutely going down. Worldwide people aren't having kids. If you look at demographic charts, pretty much every country outside of France, New Zealand, and the US have population that will massively decrease in the next few decades.
@@scipioafricanus5871 I was focusing on countries with global economies. But yes there are african countries with good demographics, along with Argentina, and Uzbekistan, and a few scattered small non global nations in asia
Pedantic and annoying correction alert: The age of the planet is around 4.5 billion, and the oldest fossil we've ever found of a living organism is about 3.5 billion. And you're correct about the pyramids having nothing to do with slavery. The only record of that is in the old testament, but there's a ton of archaeological evidence to the contrary. Most evidence points to many of the builders being farmers outside of their growing seasons. Great reaction anyway. I've seen this video literally over 100 times, but it never gets old.
Inventing an alternative pronunciation _and_ spelling for “aluminium” and then pretending the Americans did it is one of the most egregious acts ever committed. Also black pudding. Savages.
More stuff with the GF. This is like bonus content with both of your reactions + your dialog between each other. Just exponential content. Also the brief stops you give along with the silent look of "Are you serious" on some of her comments. It's golden. Not giving her shit in anyway. Most people aren't aware of such things in the world. It's just humorous to see. And if that educates either her or both of you doing it, then it is 100% worth it.
About the possibility of the population potentially decreasing in the future, all I'll say is I personally know about 3 people in their 80's who were all parts of families with anywhere from 6-12 Children, with their parent being parts of families equally large, and now it'd be a little surprising to see a family with 3+ kids, I think the US average is around 2, so I don't know if the population will start going down, but we're certainly not accelerating quite as much as in the past; I know some developed countries are beginning to fear potential decline as they're struggling to meet replacement levels of population growth. This is one of the main reasons I take issue with the claim that the world is going to be "overpopulated" as there's still a lot of undeveloped land in the US and other countries, with the fastest growing countries being in Africa and the Middle East, so if anything Americans and Europeans should be trying to accelerate their growth and urban expansion to future proof themselves, and it's mostly African countries who really need to try and either stem their growth, or at least get their stability up to house and care for their increasing population, as there's still massive areas in Africa that could urbanize to care for their swelling population, but it seems most African countries really struggle with stability to commit to such large scale infrastructure investments. . TLDR; World Population is plateauing, most Industrialized Nations are either actively, or will soon be experiencing decline, and mostly rural underdeveloped countries in Africa and Middle East are Booming. Americans/Europeans need to have more kids, Africans need to have fewer kids, and the world as a whole should invest in expanding urban areas as while many places are coping relatively well with larger populations than in the past, if we want to avoid overcrowding we'll all need more housing in the future.
You asked about Japan and what they teach about WW2. Some years back the Chinese were angry that japanese textbooks were glossing over the war, and basically ignoring the bad things that they had done during the War. A friend who went to Hawaii talked to some Japanese visitors, and found that many Japanese are so ignorant about it, many of them believe Pearl Harbor was retaliation for Hiroshima/Nagasaki. If that's accurate, then......wow..... It would be interesting hearing from Japanese personally about what they teach and remember about it. I hate to go on nothing but hearsay.
So they found really expensive bones and evidence of expensive food around pyramids which suggests the workers were paid and honored as and fed really well which is why they dont think slaves built the pyramids. The workers were not only fed and paid well, but glyphs suggests they were also promised some of the highest honor of afterlife perks.
Yes, at one time there were up to 100 planets and planetoids in the solar system. As they collide, large rocky planets are formed. But the proto-Earth (Earth v1) around 5 billion years ago got hit by a Mars size object. As the material came together again, some of the material formed our Moon. Later on, the Vikings were first in North America but up around Nova Scotia. Christopher Columbus never actually made to North America only making to the Caribbean (and no, he didn't find Japan at all, that was a joke). Roanoke was found around 1604 but when Captain Smith returned 2 years later, it was gone. Its still a mystery so far what happened to all the British colonist.

When the narrator said, that they "found Japan"...they DIDN'T found in reality Japan and the Indies. They found America without knowing it and called the natives therefore Indians and some islands "Japan" etc.
They were at first NOT aware of the fact, that this wasn't India and Japan but a complete new continent.

Yeah that’s not true at all. Like someone else pointed out most younger Japanese people have almost no historical knowledge about WW2. Many didn’t know what Hitler did and many don’t even know that the swastika was used as a symbol for the Nazi party and often simply just assume it’s a weirdly oriented ‘manji,’ which is a similarly shaped symbol used in Buddhism.

In fact, I’m surprised you say that when Japan is actually known for the fact that they usually deny that they even committed war crimes (particularly in Nanking). The reason there is so much tension between Japan and other southeastern countries like China and the Koreas is simply because while Japan may deny it, their people had to suffer through the Japanese occupation. To clarify, I am not from Southeast Asia, but I would imagine that Japan’s attitude towards it only furthers the contempt between those nations.

Well tbf they use that as the symbol to denote a temple. It is crazy bad they never learned about it though obviouslyz
That was do to Gen. MacArthur's planning. He admired the Japanese culture a lot. He didn't want them to fall into the same trap post WW1 Germany fell into.
I've seen more than a few "cosplayers" wearing that symbol in Tokyo.
They are good at forgeting things they dont like
@@Souledex Ehh, the swastika has its origin in Hinduism WAY before the nazis decided the symbol was cool and it had a really positive meaning back then until you know, the holoc**st happpened. So Asians, or at least east and south-east Asians encounter them in temples really often. I mean, it’s bad that WW2 is not really taught in Japan by what you guys are saying but it is equally bad that the origin of the symbol isn’t that known in western countries until you research about it.
As others have said Japan basically ignores WW2 in their education system. The US compromised after the war and allowed the emperor and generals and politicians stay in power, because doing otherwise would have pissed off the Japanese so much the war would have started up again. We forget because they’re kawaii af but their right wing party is basically if the nazis were still around in Germany.
Main reason is they have suddenly started portraying themselves as victims after getting nuked twice and that too on a civilian population. Also, China turned communist and world didn't even recognised till 1971 and by that time not a lot of people cared about atrocities on Chinese in the West.
"it's either 2.5 or 3.5. i think it's 2.5 billion years old" 5:48 😂 it's 4.6. at least you got the billions lol
Definitely better than saying 6000 years old like some other nutjobs.
“It’s either 2.5 or 3.5” technically he isn’t wrong, (well he is but) the age of the Earth has been drastically inflated just to fit the Evolutionary timeframe for the Universe in the past.
It was originally viewed by people in the the pre-enlightenment era to be around 6,000-10,000 years old, the 1700’s it was 70,000, in the 1800s started assertions of millions of years but and started to become widely accepted, then from there on it started increasing to 2.5 billion years then to 4.6 billion where it is where it is currently
The age of the has been increasing prior to the discovery of radiometric dating so I don’t blame them for not know the age of the Earth.
@@SomethingSeemsOff creationists lmao
Earth is 4.5ish billion yrs old. The age of life is around 2.5 to 3.5 billion yrs old.
This is probably one of my favourite videos on UA-cam . It tells you so much it's unbelievable
Really does
Evolution is caused by mutations. Individuals with helpful mutations give their mutation to their offspring, while individuals with unhelpful mutations die off.

Please don't get mad but one thing the Nazis did right was eradicate basically all disability and hereditary Disease in central Europe.
Obv testing on live subjects is messed up but it put our medical knowledge ahead by at least two centuries, not to mention Nuclear Tech, Missiles and Satellites.
They also had a plan to build a massive dam spanning the Iberian peninsula called "Alantropa" to create clean energy and also turn the Sahara desert back into Fertile land to be farmed, feeding vast amounts of Africa's starving population.
One of the coolest things the Nazis discovered through their Experiments with the occult was an undetectable form of energy that connects humans(Only found by testing on Identical twins) The CIA, MI6 and KGB still use the Nazis research as a template for their research into Telepathy ect.
Lost my train of thought lmao
Don’t they teach you that in middle school?
I hated middle school
@@lunar9650 For me they taught me that in 9th grade biology
@@Username-wp5qm Almost none of this is true
@@JonahLoeb okay I'm sober now so I'll reiterated.
Due to forced euthanasia of people with hereditary disabilities and diseases under Nazi rule along with insane eugenics programs, the population of central Europe was almost cleansed of such health issues.
For example in some nations it is literally illegal for people with Dwarfism to have children for obvious not so black and white moral reasons.
The Soviets developed Satellites using technology they had seized from Germany after their surrender and also during as thousands of scientists (who were the greatest in the world at the time, Einstein as a pop culture example) defected to allied nations.
Americas Nuclear technology advanced as quickly as it did thanks to turncoat Nazis.
Werner Von Braun, one of the Nazis most prestigious Minds (also a close friend of Walt Disney), inventor of the Rocket and Ballistic Missile was directly involved in the founding of NASA.
Von Braun chose to help the Allies because he originally had planned to use the technology for Space exploration (Which was why it only took 2 decades to get to the moon, the work was already being done in the Reich for Years)
Unfortunately the Americans forced Von Braun and the other Nazi scientists who founded NASA to help develop the Atomic Bomb.
The Aryan Ideology is nothing like the skewed vision Hitler&co had, it is actually rooted deeply in Hinduism, Celtic and Nordic Ideology&Mythology.
The modern perception of what the Vision of an Aryan world would be is nothing how we imagine.
What the Nazis called the Jewish Cabal is what is now referred to as 'Illuminati" or "World Government" and in America they call it the Deep State.
The Nazis were extreme Conservationists and were one of the first Governments in modern time to create Laws against Animal Abuse, promote Vegetarianism and Clean energy, Like "Atlantropa" the biggest free clean energy project of the 20th century.
Yes, they did experiment with things like telepathy and advanced our knowledge on the Magnetic field that surrounds our bodies and interacts with the Electric field, which we used to call an "Aura".
And Yes the Allied Intelligence Organizations did seize all of this research (along w everything else) and still use it as a template today.
Now do I think that's morally grey, Using Medical research from the Psychological to Biological that was obtained by using people as Guinea pigs, Yes because it's obviously wrong. But it did advance our Medical knowledge of all fields by at least a century.
I don't personally agree with the Ideology of the Nazis but absolutely nothing I have said was wrong, it just seems crazy on the surface.
23:41 He said Japan because Columbus genuinely thought he arrived in Asia and that’s why those territories are called indies (from India, obviously)
The size of the Roman Empire (and other early empires) is crazy considering the speed of overland travel and communications back then
Regarding your conversation about the pyramids, that is correct that the pyramids were not built by slaves, they were built by master artisans and engineers who were well paid and were even buried in a structure nearby the pyramids. I have no idea how the whole slave narrative came about.
I forget your gf’s name but when she said about, “People told me women died for me to be able to vote....”
Exactly, women died for your RIGHT to vote.
You don’t have to vote for anything, that is also your right. The element of choice is what a democracy is
exactly i hate when people try to guilt trip people into voting like that especially if its about some historically oppressed group gaining the right to vote. its just sick and selfish to try to coerce people like that
They're not rights, they're privileges. We all have the privilege of voting but our voting privileges can be taken away at any point, that is not a right.
@@Mike-mc3sh By that logical all "rights" are just privileges, as any of them can be taken away at any time. Even your right to life could be taken into government hands.
The story with Mansa Musa was that he was the richest man in history. Mali was blessed with gold mines and other advantageous situations and resources that allowed them to exploit the riches of the world. The trip that he took was the Hajj, an Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia that is technically required at least once per lifetime if I remember well. On his way to Mecca he would gift so much gold and stuff as a show of wealth that the economy of those places crashed since gold wasn't worth as much any more for a while. I'm sure there's more to it, but that's the basics at least.
That is a true fact, Mansa Musa was so rich that when ever he went to a small City or Country its Economy crashed. Just to the shear amount of money he brought with him.
Ottomans by 1800's is on the Decline; in fact known as the "sick man of Europe". The Empire as a whole lasted from 1299-1922.
Good riddance.
Lizards that can grown their tails back have DNA that has genes for growing tails back. Other things with tails don’t have genes for that so their tails don’t grow back. Not a lot of people know, but women when they’re pregnant grow a yolk sac in their uterus, likely due to genes passed on down through evolution from a lineage that in he distant past was an egg layer. Fascinating stuff.
The "Japan" reference is actually Cuba. Unfortunately, Chris didn't know about circumference. Might've helped him figure our he wasn't in the right place.
Roanoke is in Virginia (USA) and it was colonized by English settlers (don't ask what happened to them LOL). The vikings (possibly Leif Erikson, if my memory serves me) sailed to Canada way before that, like 700 years or so before that. Either way, you might be a bit confused with the dates, but you're not wrong, both events happened.
Roanoke North Carolina tho Roanoke Virginia is way inland
@@masonford757 Seriously? I always thought Virginia, but I stand corrected. Thank you, sir.
@@jenniferbrown913 Maybe because, IIRC, Virginia was one of the first _major_ British settlements (named after the "Virgin Queen" Elizabeth I)?
The earth is something like 4.5 billion years old.
From my understanding, in Japan they don't really teach about Nanking and the atrocities there. I've watched videos of Japanese individuals who are educating themselves about the Japanese atrocities and they are quite shocked that they don't learn about it in school really.
The earth is actually 4.543 billion years old.
I know this because of George Carlin lol
great reaction. "The Fallen of WW2" would be a great reaction.
He did it 4 months ago, just search it up 👍
the Vikings lived in Greenland, Iceland and parts of North America, like near Canada and USA areas, what they called Vinland but it may have all ended due to the little ice age in medieval times.
I respect the decision not to vote when you don't feel informed enough on the subject, and I wish more people had that mentality. I get what people are saying when they say "women fought for your right to vote as a woman" but the right to vote includes the right _not_ to vote, to decide for yourself what you want to vote for, if at all. That's not the same as political apathy or indifference.
YES, do a video on the pyramids, but make sure to cover ALL societies that had them; I mean we all know about the pyramids in Egypt, but the Mayans as well as the Khmer kingdom
She makes a good point I think a lot of people don't get, its ok to not vote for or side on something if you dont understand that thing or feel you have enough information to pick a side. Thats a very dangerous thing to blindly make decisions not knowing the repercussions or why that decision exist so to try and lower someone for that seems insanely ignorant and also dangerous.
The better option would be to simply take a little time to educate yourself about the issue before voting. It generally takes far less time than most people spend doing things like watching videos on reaction channels or looking at their social media. Not doing so is simply laziness. You don't have to be an expert in a subject to gain an understanding of the potential impacts of a specific bill/ballot initiative. It's pretty sad that people will spend hours online doing nothing productive whatsoever, but then come up with excuses to not do a few minutes of really basic research on issues that can drastically impact their lives.
@@davebcf1231 Exactly. In a nutshell, it's a dereliction of duty.
"is that like when the lizards can grow back their tails and their feet?" LOL
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂I know
I mean to a certain extent she's not wrong. That DOES happen because their DNA makes it possible. However yeah, this is self replication whereas she is meaning regeneration.
This is probably the first time (and I've watched dozens of reactions to this video) that somebody got the "I wonder if there's room for Moors" pun.
And Mansa Musa didn't go on tour, he did go on Hajj to Mecca.
Thanks for fixing and reloading this. Fun to watch 😁
You know, these two are very well versed in American history for non-Americans. Very entertaining, well done y’all!
I would love to see you both react to “The American Wars Everyone Kinda Forgot About” by alternatehistoryhub
I second this notion.
To answer your question about Japan and WW2, basically, we're taught about the war but from a victim's perspective.
And when there's any mention of it, it'll usually be about how the US bombed us.
That's one of the main reasons why we're still hated by our neighbours.
The debris-to-Moon theory was strongly backed up by rock samples brought back from the Apollo Moon landings. The rocks were studied and found to be the same as those of the early Earth. IIRC, they were very light gray, almost white-colored on the inside.
The Earth is about 4.7 Billion years old, our Solar System is about 6.5 Billion years old & our Universe is about 13.5 -14 Billion years old
Mansa Musa was a king of Mali and he was a Muslim. So, almost every year he went to Mecca for pilgrimage. Along the way to Mecca, he gave charity and bought many things, because of that many cities (mostly northern Africa) were inflated, the economy were "ruined" because many people got rich. In addition, Italians did businesses and trading with northern African, so they were rich as well and they were able to fund for Renaissance, etc.
I love that you two discussed things throughout. Most reactors just sit there stunned. And yes, I would be very interested in seeing what you want to show us about the building of the Pyramids. Nice!
Great video! I enjoyed your reactions
Can you and your girl react to Ancient Rome in 20 minutes?
We wouldn't be watching your reaction videos if we didn't want to see you react to them, so you two talk all you want, that's what we're here for.
No. I watch reaction videos for _reactions_ and I watch commentary videos for commentary.
if you were watching something that absolved germany of responsibility for ww1 then that is kind of ridiculous imo. austria only went to war because germany urged them to, as austria stood no chance against russia and france. germany wanted to invade france for decades prior to ww1 and both world wars was an expression of that desire
the treaty of versailles also was not that bad compared to the treaties everyone else faced upon defeat in a war at the time.
Problem with the treaty of versailles is that it pretty much guaranteed a second war
As history buff this is so enjoyable. I've seen the video many times and love it every time i watch it again, but the reaction on the elaboration based on your guys history knowledge makes me consider different aspects. Just found you guys and I'm starting to binge watch. Keep up the good work. Found you guys through your stand up comedy reactions. a Few guys I would suggest

Roanoke was an English colony that mysterioulsy disapeared in about the 1580s.
If I’m not mistaken… They know for sure that slaves didn’t build the pyramids by the tombs they found of some workers who were said to of died while building them.
Also with how advanced the pyramids were there’s ancient cities that are on par with how impressive they are and were built even earlier.
In the words of a great 20th century Canadian philosopher, “If you choose not to decide
You still have made a choice”. - Neil Peart 1980
I respect your choice to not vote for something you aren’t sure of. 👍🏻✌🏻
You have to show her Sam O’Nella!
Regarding Abyssinia - fun fact - the rastafarian religios movement has as a central figure the emperor Haile Selasie. Before being crowned emperor and re-baptized as Haile Selassie (they were christian orthodox...kinda' so they had part of the rituals of christian monarchy), he was called Taffari Makonnen and his title was Ras (meaning Lion)...so he was Ras Tafari...rastafsrianims...rastaman (the second Italian-Abyssinian war was the subject of my bachelor degree paper...😅 'fun times')...they also claimed that they were descedents from Queen Sheeba and I think they claim to this day that they have the Arc of the Covenant
Apart from what others say about Japan, I also recently learned lots of countries gloss over ww2, but not to the extend of Japan of course. Lots of people on this planet doesnt actually know how certain group came into power in Germany, and what they did.
The thing about not blaming Germany is that, and Bec pointed it out as well, they did commit the most atrocities. It's like say, your neighbour cuts down your apple tree from your orchard and you retaliate by killing your neighbour, obviously you'll face the most repercussions, innit. So, regardless of how much blame Germany gets for the war, they themselves shot themselves on the foot by taking it too far. And that's what they were punished for in the end.
Daily Upload love it ❤
We try 😂
@@JamesCornwall95 if u too busy for daily Upload than its ok too.
The Viking Leif Erickson landed in Canada, right next to the Hudson river
It was Egypt that Mansa Musa crashed. His exorbitant spending of Gold severely dropped the value of Gold in Cairo which caused the crash.
The Pyramids were built by humans. They weren’t slaves either. Citizens from all over Egypt. All citizens were paid with beer mostly to dedicate a fees of their life to building. Ancient records show all of this. It took about 50 years to build. The Nile river at that time flowed very close to the pyramids so they could sail the huge stones down the Nile by boats. Ancient people were a lot more intelligent than we modern day humans think. The Mayans, Egyptians and many other cultures in Africa knew things about the stars that modern human didn’t have knowledge of until the 1700 and 1800 hundreds. They knew and forgot many mathematical and scientific knowledge long along. Most knowledge was lost to humans due to natural disasters and war. The libraries of Alexandria and Timbuktu held huge records of the knowledge of the ancient world, but were destroyed and most of the knowledge wasn’t rediscovered for hundreds of years later. No aliens...humans.
FYI, Roanoke was over 100 years after Columbus 1492 sail to the Americas. It was an English colony in the state of Virginia. By the way, there are UA-cam videos about how WWII is taught in countries including Japan.
Consider this next time someone gives you shit for not voting; it's a lyric from a song ... "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice". Your choice to not vote is just as valid a choice. You voted, by not voting. Don't let anyone wind you up about it.
Mansa Musa flooded economies with so much gold, it caused hyperinflation
So they say
I love this.
Why is the industrial revolution boring?
side note, In the U.S. we spent about two weeks on the industrial revolution in Britain and in US history another month, and I find it rather fascinating.
Love this video! and of course talk during the video! Keep the video's coming, you two are great!
Thanks man !
You wondered about Mansa Musa collapsing an economy and whether it was true. It is true and that country was Egypt.
35:58 We need more people like Becc. If you don't understand something, you probably should skip the vote so people who actually understand it to make an educated decision. As an American, I notice way too many people, especially those my age (early 20s) in this country vote for someone based on what their friend tells them instead of doing their own research. Its sad to be honest but Becc definitely gained respect points from me for admitting to not knowing something therefore not participating.
I agree completely, her attitude toward voting is one of the most sensible i've heard in years.
The issue with saying China is that old is that it isn’t. The area we know as China have had people in it for ages but China has been broken apart and reformed and invaded and ruled by emperors from Mongolia or Japan and the like that it’s way too oversimplified, and this isn’t that channel.
Fun Fact: Cleopatra lived closer to the present then she did to the creation of the pyramids. That's how old they are, they were probably made by the first people to live by the Nile
The way Homosapiens (current humans) were created was that people from different backgrounds (think Homo erectus "upright man" and Homo habilis "handyman") started having kids when they met and I guess that's how we started existing.
Xia China has little to do with the current China. It was a little part of what we call today China and it changed a lot over history. It'd be like saying ancient Greece was the European civilisation which is still around. But it changed a lot and a lot of other Euro territories had a major part in it.
We just use the name China for convenience, it's just a name westerners gave to the region, a name based on the Qin dynasty.
23:44 Hardly anyone picks up on this because I think the video is going so fast, but the guy says Columbus discovers the Indies and Japan, then tilts the map to show it was actually Cuba. It took Europe a bit longer to "discover" Japan.
Columbus thought the world was half the size it actually is. Everyone else was pretty much correct about the size, but he thought their math was off and that it was actually way smaller. With the size that it is and not knowing that there were two other continents to the west people in Europe at the time simply thought it was too far to make it to Asia by sailing that way. You wouldn't be able to carry enough supplies to make it. Columbus was actually about out of supplies when he hit the Caribbean so had there not been two continents there then he would have just run out of supplies and died like everyone thought would happen.
the vikings never came that far down. the Vikings landed in what is now Canada and never went down as far as virginia
You should do a couple’s reaction video to that Alexander the Great speech so she can hear it, it’s a great speech.
Regarding population, it exploded because of the industrial revolution (medicine + food surplus). People underestimate a lot how hard was life before that, few children survived until adulthood.
Later the birthrate decreased mostly in Western countries (recently some part of Asian countries as well). But the rest of the world exploded, and Africa is still exploding (100 million people in 1900, 1.4 billion people now). While in the west and japan we can't even reach the replacement level.
Earth is closer to 5 billion years old, but you were at least close! Universe is estimated to be almost 15 billion as well.
Also, yes it was the Vikings that discovered North America LONG before Columbus. Also, they didn't discover Japan, Columbus only THOUGHT it was Japan due to it being a similar island shape to Japan (which is why the video shows the Caribbean on a tilted axis like that, to show how similar it looks to Japan).
As a Swede we also spent a lot of time learning about the industrial revolution, the word spinning jenny is printed into my brain
Great crafting abilities in a project doesn't equal a high intelligence for everyone.
At 23:58. She asked if it took that long to find Japan.... it wasn’t Japan that they found, it was Cuba and the Caribbean.
The DNA instructions telling it how to build another one of itself is how our skin/muscle/bone cells replicate to heal wounds, build muscles, or repair breaks. Those tiny little specks eating chemical soup were single cells themselves, as opposed to multi-celled organisms like plants or animals, so it was easy for them to replicate quickly and thus evolve quickly (think little bacterias evolving immunity to antibiotics).
Roanoke was the first British attempt at a permanent settlement in the new world. It was way after Columbus first arrived. What I believe you’re referring to was Lief Ericsson who landed in modern day Canada before Columbus arrived.
There wasn't any reason to explore west until the Ottomans blocked Europe from reaching India by land. Because Marco Polo stated distance by time spent travelling and was so slow, Asia was depicted on maps as being very incorrectly large. putting Cuba in the expected position of "Sipangu," a supposed land of gold to the east of China in Polo's writing. The sun rose from Japan's direction and considered the cradle of life in China, ergo gold, somehow. You'd know Sipangu as El Dorado and it's why the Spanish became so brutally insistent on colonisation
would definitely like a piramid video, also the "history of japan" video this guy made is really good.
Roanoke was in the 1600s and founded by English settlers. The vikings are speculated to have landed in modern day Northern Canada in the 1100-1200s; which is still not 100% proven. The joke in this video about Columbus landing in the Indies and Japan is that he thought Cuba and nearby islands were Japan and the Indies. They also thought the Native tribes in America were Indians, from India. Which is why they are called Indians even today.
Also, the main reason other countries never spent a lot of time or resources to find India by sailing across the Atlantic ocean is it wasn't deemed worth the cost. European kingdoms had well traveled trading routes through the middle east via the silk road and sailing was still very dangerous and costly at the time. Path of least resistance was to keep trading with India and China by land through the Middle East or by sailing around Africa.
Norseman: The time period of the industrial revolution was really boring. Pretty much nothing happened back then.
Germany: No problem. We will make your lives much more interesting pretty soon.
35:57 Wise, pretty wise. Admitting that you don't know about something is rare, in our narcissistic society.
This creator also did the history of Japan which is also great!
You wondered how other countries teach WW2? Well I can tell you about my experience in the United States education. It's split around the middle between the European and Pacific theaters of the war. In Europe we are taught mostly the contribution of the United States and secondly the United Kingdom. Only Soviet contribution we're taught is The Battle of Stalingrad and The Battle of Berlin. Then my teacher spent a day going over the use of the Atomic Bombs and showed us a recreation of one of the A-Bomb droppings which was a thing of nightmares. It was almost like they don't want us using a nuke again... Huh... Imagine that. Lol
Mansa Musa was a Muslim, so he was taking his hajj to Mecca, and he had so much money he was being super "generous" and overpaid for stuff along the way, which messed with a bunch of economies by causing mass inflation with the sudden infusion of money/gold.
How can they explain the history of the world in 40 min. 🤣🤣🤣should be a mini series
We'll continue to get taller to a certain extent. We'll eventually hit a point where we are optimally tall for our environment. It's just that either we haven't hit that point yet, or the optimum height varies through time, which I think is more likely.
As to who's more advanced, it really is subjective and differs based on a lot of things. China is definitely more advanced in some regards.
Also yeah, we really aren't painted in a good light in this, but to be fair the morality and societal norms of the time were VASTLY different than they are now. It was still a dick move, but at the time it was a bit understandable.
The Vikings never made a permanent settlement in North America, Roanoke was England’s first colony in North America. The first permanent colony in North America was St. Augustine and it was made by Spain.
35:50 I would like to know his reasons for this remark about the EU there. ^^
The world population is absolutely going down. Worldwide people aren't having kids. If you look at demographic charts, pretty much every country outside of France, New Zealand, and the US have population that will massively decrease in the next few decades.
Forgot the Third World there for a second?
@@scipioafricanus5871 I was focusing on countries with global economies. But yes there are african countries with good demographics, along with Argentina, and Uzbekistan, and a few scattered small non global nations in asia
No.
Pedantic and annoying correction alert: The age of the planet is around 4.5 billion, and the oldest fossil we've ever found of a living organism is about 3.5 billion. And you're correct about the pyramids having nothing to do with slavery. The only record of that is in the old testament, but there's a ton of archaeological evidence to the contrary. Most evidence points to many of the builders being farmers outside of their growing seasons.
Great reaction anyway. I've seen this video literally over 100 times, but it never gets old.
33:59 that island down india is not India it's other country as long as India existed
"The Insane Amercian Plan to Invade Japan 1945". Great video!
Here is a good one for you to react to. It is a video by Dan Arruda called: "Boston Strong - ESPN."
33:18 Have you been taught about the atrocities committed by the British?😗
Inventing an alternative pronunciation _and_ spelling for “aluminium” and then pretending the Americans did it is one of the most egregious acts ever committed. Also black pudding.
Savages.
More stuff with the GF. This is like bonus content with both of your reactions + your dialog between each other. Just exponential content.
Also the brief stops you give along with the silent look of "Are you serious" on some of her comments. It's golden. Not giving her shit in anyway. Most people aren't aware of such things in the world. It's just humorous to see. And if that educates either her or both of you doing it, then it is 100% worth it.
About the possibility of the population potentially decreasing in the future, all I'll say is I personally know about 3 people in their 80's who were all parts of families with anywhere from 6-12 Children, with their parent being parts of families equally large, and now it'd be a little surprising to see a family with 3+ kids, I think the US average is around 2, so I don't know if the population will start going down, but we're certainly not accelerating quite as much as in the past; I know some developed countries are beginning to fear potential decline as they're struggling to meet replacement levels of population growth. This is one of the main reasons I take issue with the claim that the world is going to be "overpopulated" as there's still a lot of undeveloped land in the US and other countries, with the fastest growing countries being in Africa and the Middle East, so if anything Americans and Europeans should be trying to accelerate their growth and urban expansion to future proof themselves, and it's mostly African countries who really need to try and either stem their growth, or at least get their stability up to house and care for their increasing population, as there's still massive areas in Africa that could urbanize to care for their swelling population, but it seems most African countries really struggle with stability to commit to such large scale infrastructure investments.
.
TLDR; World Population is plateauing, most Industrialized Nations are either actively, or will soon be experiencing decline, and mostly rural underdeveloped countries in Africa and Middle East are Booming. Americans/Europeans need to have more kids, Africans need to have fewer kids, and the world as a whole should invest in expanding urban areas as while many places are coping relatively well with larger populations than in the past, if we want to avoid overcrowding we'll all need more housing in the future.
You asked about Japan and what they teach about WW2. Some years back the Chinese were angry that japanese textbooks were glossing over the war, and basically ignoring the bad things that they had done during the War. A friend who went to Hawaii talked to some Japanese visitors, and found that many Japanese are so ignorant about it, many of them believe Pearl Harbor was retaliation for Hiroshima/Nagasaki. If that's accurate, then......wow.....
It would be interesting hearing from Japanese personally about what they teach and remember about it. I hate to go on nothing but hearsay.
So they found really expensive bones and evidence of expensive food around pyramids which suggests the workers were paid and honored as and fed really well which is why they dont think slaves built the pyramids. The workers were not only fed and paid well, but glyphs suggests they were also promised some of the highest honor of afterlife perks.
Awesome!
Yes, at one time there were up to 100 planets and planetoids in the solar system. As they collide, large rocky planets are formed. But the proto-Earth (Earth v1) around 5 billion years ago got hit by a Mars size object. As the material came together again, some of the material formed our Moon. Later on, the Vikings were first in North America but up around Nova Scotia. Christopher Columbus never actually made to North America only making to the Caribbean (and no, he didn't find Japan at all, that was a joke). Roanoke was found around 1604 but when Captain Smith returned 2 years later, it was gone. Its still a mystery so far what happened to all the British colonist.
I would like to see that pyramid reaction
