I enjoyed this video very much and the presenter is great but there is just too much history to cover in a 10min video. There are the old republics Sumer, Akkad, Assyrian empire, Babylonian empire, the Sumerian, the Kassite, Hittite, Amorite, the Elamites swing by and then the neo-Assyrian and neo-Babylonian. Its just too much.

just saying your videos are great, but my mom says you should put a little note that says your joking when your putting funny untrue facts from time to time becuase some kids might think they are true.

This is ALMOST an enjoyable series of vids. Those constant asides though....those "wacky joke sketches"....irritating. I start to get drawn into the subject and then he BREAKS it and starts doing a dumb little sketch ("open letter to elephants" or "conversation with younger me") having nothing to do with anything.

Mesopotamian people created some of the most important things and then Egyptians created fancy triangles. "LET'S MAKE 10 MILLION MOVIES AND COURSES ON ANCIENT EGYPT!" "what about mesapotamia?" "mesopoetm? wat's that"
