This is seriously cool!!!! Nice work!!!

Since three year I'm a teacher in elementary school, 5th grade. As an introduction to the history lessons, I always show this video to the kids to trigger them in the subject. It's so nice to see how they become thrilled by history thanks to this video. You did a great job!

Funny how the last movie featured has "spearman beats tank" as a major plot point.

This editing ability is enough for a cultural victory.

Y'all are missing the point. It's not about dwelling on all the violence that has been in human history, it's about how humans rose up, invented war and weapons to kill each other, went through horrible violence and war for many years and then became peaceful when they realized the beauty and awe of the universe.

2:42 That is the single most beautiful moment imo, the transition from war to discovery couldn't be better marked than with the X-1.

WW1 to present day was the greatest part of this video!

Dude this deserves way more views. Seeing a real life version of the trailer feels so much more epic. I have watched this 50 times and still can't stop :)

light and darkness, highlights and abysses, humankind's finest and darkest hours - they were never put together more perfectly than here. Milestones we achieved by working together, paths leading us far away from our ideals just to find back to them later... Just the perfect summary of mankind's history. If I find an Alien in my backyard and want to show it the history of our species I will probably go for this video.

Well, these pictures come from movies but the selection of scenes in combination with this wonderful music makes me proud to be human.

Very well done I bet Sid Meier himself would love to see this.

One of the greatest reimaginings of a song/intro for a game I've ever seen. This deserves way more views, likes, attention. Well done!

You did a great job with this. I've seen quite a few music videos of Baba Yetu, but this is definitely one of the best ones. Reminded me of quite a few great movies and there's a few that I'll have to watch once I get the chance.

Only one mistake in the timeline. The Trojan horse scene should be before the Roman Colosseum because Troy fell centuries before even the Roman Republic. The Trojan war ended around 1180 b.c. and the founding of Rome was 753 b.c. which was still around 800 years before the Colosseum in Rome was built. But still I can't stop watching because hell if I care. This video is my favorite.

Un projet qui me trotte dans la tête depuis des années, refaire l'intro de Civilization IV en n'utilisant que des extraits de films... 6 heures de montage pour 12.000 ans d'histoire et voilà qui est fait! Est ce que vous reconnaitrez tous les films?

I often pull up Baba Yetu when looking for hope in times of turmoil. It was there in the first Civilization video and it is rightly presented here too. I loved the Peter Hollens and Malukah cover of the song. This video brings it to life brilliantly. Great work.

dear god this is gorgeous, and much like the opening too (Idk but the war segment in the civ looks inspirational and here I see it's true grim face) but fantastic work m8 wow!

This just shows that there was a lot of beauty and a lot of shit in our world because of us, but it still remains as one thing: our collective history as a species, no matter what happens, it was our work in the end.

Coming in late to this video, but I have to say I am IMPRESSED. Baba Yetu is one of my favorite all-time songs from a game, and the original trailer was fun, but THIS. This was remarkably amazing. I thought it was a great balance of all the countries and important events, making it BETTER than the original. Great work!

How does this not have more views? Brilliant work.

“Science does not have a moral dimension. It is like a knife. If you give it to a surgeon or a murderer, each will use it differently.” - Wernher von Braun.

This video shows me that we can achieve and be inspired to be one of the most extraordinary people in the history of our civilisations who help the world to become a better place. Dream high and work hard; we all believe it's worth it in the end.

Amazingly done. This is a great work of art that pays tribute to the Civilization game series.

A good song with fitting movie clips and how humans can work or destroy each other

Woah what a great idea! I was stunned all the way through, very well done!

Awesome use of Peter and Malukah's cover! Not to mention a nice "high five" to the Civilization intro :)

I am a huge fan of RU-vid a cappella artist Peter Hollens and THIS, this is an amazing work of editing!! GORGEOUS visuals paired with the lovely voices of Peter and Malukah, thank you for making it seamless. #HollensFamily !

The original song : Civilization IV Theme - Baba Yetu - Peter Hollens & Malukah

That was outstandingly brilliant. It gives you a profound emotional impact and it's very well done.

I don't think I can like this video hard enough! I absolutely love videos like this, because most of the time, when I'm listening to music, I'm doing this exact thing. Matching music to the situation, drawing inspiration from it. Good on you, friend!

Peter Hollens and Malukah. No wonder it sounds amazing. And Marc's video editing is fantastic. Great combination amd transitions.

amazing! i love this song and spend lots of time looking for various vision video with baba yetu. i thought those scenes was new making for song at moment, because it is pretty good on song! thanks you for let me watching this!

Love how most of these movie scenes are wars, except mostly the end.

really lovely video... i really adore the quility and how things are in time line order. very nice work well done

I cried. Our species fought so hard to survive, and finally thrive. From hunting mammoths with spears to forming civilizations, from forming civilization to going to space. :')

One of the best videos I've ever watched. Well done!

I was late to find this, but amazing footage you have found here.

Watching videos of people dying as Baba Yetu plays... talk about mood whiplash.

You made the video that I was picturing whenever I listen to this song. Well done man 👍

This is very well done, great work!

You deserve a medal for this! Superb work, my good fella!

This is so well done. It deserves more appreciation

Exceptionally well-done, Marc. The imagery is breathtaking, but I cannot help but feel a sense of man-made tragedy in our ongoing quest for true civilization. Powerful music and imagery. Excellent work of art. I commend your compilation. :)

I love the timeline you put into it great work!

Universe, meet the Human race. Amazing, interesting and very war like. Every Human has it in them.

This was very well done. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Very cool, and with Peter and Malukah cover... really superb.

Ugh I can't stop watching this it's so amazing

This is awesome, excellent work my friend.

Fantastic job. Loved how you made it your own take on the official version

This is pretty awesome! Great work!

Fantastic video! Love it! Will be sharing this one!

Damn. This is pretty amazing mate!

Top notch dude, Top notch.

Fantastic work on the video, it works extremely well with the music!

Great! It's very nice to see. Thanks for your making.

This project is very good. Definitely one of my favorite videos with this song. I think it works quite well.

Wow. never heard this version. It's so great. Thanks!

These movies are going on my bucket list.

This edit in my opinion is a beautiful masterpiece.

Wonderful and amazing work mate! :D Also the 85 who disliked this were probably drunk off their arses or jealous of this amazing video you compiled. Once more job well done.

With the release of the new game, I had to listen to some Baba Yetu. I found your video, surprised I hadn't seen it before, since it's almost 2 years old, and I loved it! This really made me smile. Great job, friend!

It's quite amazing to see how far technology has come, and just to think that before the 60's getting to space was nothing but a dream. Baba Yetu goes so well with this video, showing the progression of mankind.

The resemblance to the original is amazing you just missed the last bit where it cycles back to the cavemen having the vision of the future. But still great work.

Awesome recreation, dude. It almost feel like the real video.

Nice editing!!! Great composition!

Very beautiful effort, Christopher Tin would love this.

Very well done! Enjoyable and inspiring

The history of humanity, though with many horrors and atrocities scattered throughout it's many chapters, is still one of he greatest and most beautiful stories to be told within our known existance.

Great! Very great! I just can't stop watching this video. But i am personally like to watch more about wonders instead of wars... because i think this song is more epic with that. Aw...... just like you are flying over these wonder... that'll make me freaking cry!

Cool, now I have a movie list to watch.

I like that, at the end, it goes full-circle for us to start again on a new planet. :)

Superb. Very well made.

This is so awesome!

Amazing video, well done!

You nailed it!

This is beautiful!

Woow this is done incredibly! Thanks for this expierence

I'm gonna be honest, this is better than his civ vi music video. Good job mate.

This is so on point🎉

Great work, amazing video

Almost forgot to like, great vid!

I think it would be better if they put inventions screens in this, Like men inventing fire, wheel ,medicines, airplanes, etc. History isn't just full of war, there are more then that...

Very nice, you really captured the feeling

Such an epic video, makes me proud to be Human!

Universe, meet the Human race...

This is amazing! :O So powerful, only wish it used the original song hehe but still great

This is truly amazing

J'ai litteralement des frissons. Merci :)

Excellent movie choices! Looked at the list and seen 19 out of 22!

The whole Revolutionary War scene works really well for this because it was also mirrored in the original Civilization IV trailer.

great great, i have no word to express the pleasure i had watching your work. You choose the best scenes of the best movies and gain a result that is 100 times better than the original cartoon video. ps i rarely make comments, but in this case i wanted to express to you my appreciation pps: you made a mistake in the end credits: you wrote "licoln"

Wonderful, simply wonderful!

Esta definitivamente espectacular !!! Toda la historia Global Resumida :)

Somehow there is a melancholy in this video, because as I see it, we've fought so many wars and died in so many lifetimes, when in truth we're all brothers and sisters in our humanity, with the same fears and the same dreams.

1:27 when you neglect research

This, this is awesome. Nice

very very good work!!!

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
