A person who created first steam engine might have used a computer, but didn't know what negative number is: The Antikythera mechanism is generally referred to as the first known analogue computer - 2nd century BC. The aeolipile is considered to be the first recorded steam engine - 1st century BC. Negative numbers were first described in China in 3rd century AD and were not understood by Greeks at that time.
The Nile River flows from south to north. For ancient Egyptians, the Upper Kingdom is the southern area; while the Lower Kingdom is the northern area. Also, your smirk is adorable in how it turns up to one side.
The Last European succesfull Cavalry Charge happened in 1945 Battle of Schönfeld 1945 the same year where the first atomic bombs where used. and turbine powered jet fighters where in the air!
An old retired French Caribbean pirate, a Japanese samurai, a American western gunslinger, and I forgot what the fourth person was (maybe it was a disgraced European noble?) could be a historically accurate adventuring party.
Time for this aviation nerd to add his 2 cents. One of the Wright brothers lives long enough to ride on the Boeing 707 and he remarked that his first flight wouldn't have covered the planes wingspan
1. it gets even crazier. It is possible that A cowboy, a a disgraced Samurai, a pirate and a Victorian gentleman could have all met in a pub in London.
The Mayans and Aztecs had built cities and huge buildings, agriculture and irrigation, all without the use of metal tools. They didn't have the need to make sharp metal tools because they used obsidian which is sharper than surgical scapels, it can literally cut microscopic cells its so sharp
Throughout the millions of years of the evolution of man, until the last 10,000 years or so, there were multiple branches of humankind living and interacting together.
Reminds me of a ttrpg meme/pic from a while back... Consider: Victorian England: 1837-1901 American Old West: 1803-1912 Meiji Restoration: 1868-1912 French Privateering in the Gulf of Mexico: ended circa 1830 Conclusion: An adventuring party consisting of a Victorian gentleman thief, an Old West gunslinger, a disgraced former samurai, and an elderly French pirate is actually 100% historically plausible.
Well Miss Fenn , how about amazing coincidences . Just check out the Abraham Lincoln , and John Kennedy assassinations ! And you may have missed your calling , you a good at teaching history ( and I'm sure you'd rock at teaching baking as well ) !
The Aztec thing surprised me Only thing not to fond of, is my people slaughtered by the thousands, for our gods. Pretty bloody (quite literally) past for modern Mexicans
Well, the Telegraph definitely existed during the Meiji/American Civil War eras, & you could send amazingly complex messages over wireless relays. BTW facsimile is pronounced with a hard C.
I live for random history content. And from a vtuber? Double points! I got a weird one. President Zachary Taylor, 10th US from like 1840, has still (as far as I know) two surviving grandchildren. Yes, you did read that right.
Loving this history series! Please bring out more of these! And also since you are super interested in Space too, I would like to see a video on the latest Superheavy booster catch attempt by SpaceX. It really was an amazing moment, akin to the Apollo program of NASA in the pursuit of space exploration! Cheers!
Small suggestion , during historic videos , please archive and link the Sources with what you took from where. Other than that, this was a nice journey through the Ages
Comment Squad! What other great history facts did I miss? Or is there something else I should make a video on? Let me know!

For the Aztec capitol just say "tea knock teet lawn" as one word

My favorite fact is Harvard University didn't offer classes in calculus when it was first founded since calculus hasn't been created yet.
Abraham Lincoln with his samurai homies. That would be a cool movie.
That is a whole afternoon of great Civilization xD
Well, he was vampire hunter first.

That would be trippy, no matter how much sense it makes.
Sounds like a beginning of some kind of steampunk dnd adventure.
The azteks part was the most unexpected for me. Overall awesome video, interesting and wholesome :)
My favorite history fact is that cowboys and samurai existed at the same time for a couple of years.
There's actually a movie about a cowboy and samurai team up in existence
@@firestorm165it’s titled Red Sun. Made in 1971.
@@jeffjag2691 thank you kindly, for the life of me I couldn't remember the title
An interesting historical fact is that Cleopatra in terms of time is closer to the moon landing than the construction of the great pyramids of Giza.
The Mayans and Aztecs had built cities and huge buildings, agriculture and irrigation, all without the use of metal tools.
They didn't have the need to make sharp metal tools because they used obsidian which is sharper than surgical scapels, it can literally cut microscopic cells its so sharp
Very interesting indeed 🤔 thanks for sharing this stuff with us
i really love this i really hope you turn this into a series

2:42. Oh that wink! 😍
When I first saw "Fax machines and the Oregon trail" I thought you meant the game Oregon trail and I was not surprised lol.
There is a stream idea, 1985 Apple II or 1990 MS-DOS version of The Oregon Trail.
The more you know ✨
Fennryn. The organ trail was taught to us as kids, with a PC game. It was simple, but very fun. You should look into it
Ah yes, thank you Fenn for reminding me that Lincoln lived during the same period that samurais existed!
Has Fennryn turned into the weird history vtuber?
Please let it be so
@@firestorm165 She's trying to become that yes.
We hope to be so fortunate.
Aztec word.
Tay-No-Cheat-LAN. Emphasis on the last syllable.
One of my favourites is Queen Victoria could go see a football game in my home town as the ground as been around since the 1850s-60s
history hurts my brain when its put in context with other world events
I've already liked and subscribed and have nothing to say but commenting for the algorithm
Reminds me of a ttrpg meme/pic from a while back...
Consider:
Victorian England: 1837-1901
American Old West: 1803-1912
Meiji Restoration: 1868-1912
French Privateering in the Gulf of Mexico: ended circa 1830
Conclusion:
An adventuring party consisting of a Victorian gentleman thief, an Old West gunslinger, a disgraced former samurai, and an elderly French pirate is actually 100% historically plausible.
Some cool fact, I'm french and I didn't know about nintendo and the eiffel tower
I love that you're making these videos! They're excellent! Keep up the great work!
Good video Fenn!
Great video Fenn. I've said it before, if you're not a teacher you should be. Of course you'd have to stand on your desk for the class to see you..
Now that I think about it, a fax is just a telegram hooked up to a printer.
Well Miss Fenn , how about amazing coincidences . Just check out the Abraham Lincoln , and John Kennedy assassinations ! And you may have missed your calling , you a good at teaching history ( and I'm sure you'd rock at teaching baking as well ) !
This was a really cool video idea ! .

Here's another one for you. I KNEW David Crockett's direct descendants. Not going to say any more than that for fear of doxing myself.
there was a 5 year window where elvis Presley and albert Einstein could have gotten lunch together at a mcdonalds.
Miss you guys. Great video, Fenn.
Loving this history series! Please bring out more of these!
And also since you are super interested in Space too, I would like to see a video on the latest Superheavy booster catch attempt by SpaceX. It really was an amazing moment, akin to the Apollo program of NASA in the pursuit of space exploration! Cheers!
What other thing that is wild is that chat exists at the same time as vtubers
Interesting fax
AT&T is older you might think
This was such a cool video thank you. My brain is still trying to process it all lol
Soo funny this video I like it Fenn. Like the giggles and stuff
i learned that the fax was made in 1843

hahahaha this is so good
Fantastic video!
