History Nut Reacts to 'HISTORY OF THE ENTIRE WORLD I GUESS' - Just amazing! 

20:27 fun fact when he went on tour he actually broke the economy of every country he visited by just giving away his gold to random people.

Fun little thing: the last thing you hear is “by the way where are we?” Which sets up the whole video, as it starts by answering: “Hi, you’re on a rock floating in space.” And the cyclical nature of the video is further alluded to by “I know it’s possible (to create the universe) because everything is here and it probably already happened, I just don’t know where to start.” The whole video is meant to be an infinite loop. And no matter how many times I watch it it never gets any worse.

"Ah, now we're in the 'dinosaur age'..." "AND THE DINOSAURS ARE GONE" "Nooo!" 6:28 Best part

The little jingles Wurtz makes really does make a profound difference to the overall experience. I'm also mad that my country barely pays attention to the countries around our territory. Just assorted European history. I was shocked to realize that there was previously an empire that was right next to us that I barely knew about. I don't pay attention to geography but it still doesn't excuse why we were never taught about the countries around us in high school. I'm a Filipino, so we got a lot of spanish, japanese and western influence in our history where there was brief period of colonization, which pretty much guaranteed that our development was dependent on their success until there was a push for a declaration of independence and cessation of occupation from colonials. Maybe I got some things wrong but this video got me thinking a lot about where our country stood on the historical side of things. Of course I'm still very happy we got featured on a Bill Wurtz video. Any Filipino is connected to their country on an almost irrational level, so seeing even the name Philippines makes us happy and excited despite the lack of detail.

The Ozone layer came after plant based creatures appeared because they 'exhaled' oxygen during photosynthesis. Prior to this there was little oxygen in the atmosphere. Ozone is a molecule of three oxygen atoms.

Thank you! Wurtz's video should be shown in classrooms across the world

Fun Fact about The Majapahit Empire : [21:13] The Story about how they came up with the name is a bit interesting. So the original king of the empire was trying to find a place to settle his kingdom. And on the way, him and his followers were getting hungry and thirsty. So they went to go find some food. A Courier found some low hanging fruits from a tree and collected them for the group. After they took a bite, a sudden bitter taste splashed around their mouth. And they quickly spit out the fruit. That fruit was called "Maja" by the local residents there and "Pahit" was an Indonesian word for Bitter. So they named their empire "Majapahit" from the bitter fruit that were growing around The Kingdom.

For me (as a history teacher) our knolowdge of history is more eurocentric than western centered, the fact that "american history" is only USA says a lot

I was watching a Discovery program the other day about Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA in modern humans. It was pretty mind blowing. A significant portion of the Neanderthal Genome is still present in modern European Humans. While each person only has about 2-4% of Neanderthal DNA, my 2% Neanderthal DNA might not be the same 2% Neanderthal DNA British Guy has. And Denisovan DNA is present in Asian populations. While Africans have just modern human DNA. It was called "The Evolution of Us" or something like that. Thanks for the video British Guy.

Guy: "Clearly the history of humans will be like, 1.5 seconds..." bill: I find your understanding of human ego disturbing 😅

It remains unclear exactly where all the Earth's water came from. "Maybe inside asteroids" is probably the best theory we've got.

The Soviets could have challenged the US economically with it's size, population and resources. The mass death in WWI, the Revolution, the Russian Civil War and WWII really wrecked it's demographics.

Wurtz has another one on the history of Japan, which covers a few more blind spots on Asian history, if you're interested

Yeah, if you're into the Western academic discipline of "history", then you know European and American history. If you want African, Indonesian, Malaysian, Papua New Guinea and Indigenous (Australia and the Americas) history, anthropology is what you want. But even that is lacking, particularly when it comes to Indigenous history (as a new anthropology grad, I'm allowed to say that :P)

Your reactions are so genuine and fun, you’re such a joy to watch! Keep doing what you’re doing 😁

Your question about the ozone layer made me look it up lol From wiki: Stratospheric ozone is formed naturally by chemical reactions involving solar ultraviolet radiation (sunlight) and oxygen molecules, which make up 21% of the atmosphere. ... In the second step, each of these highly reactive atoms combines with an oxygen molecule to produce an ozone molecule (O3). So after it started producing oxygen causing blue sky, the solar radiation naturally formed the ozone layer - the more you know 🌟 🌟 🌟 lol

I love this guy he's so happy all the time and he looks like he has such a pure personality

FUN FACT: Humans actually did live alongside and mate with Neanderthals for a good 10 000 or so years.

I learned about the ancient world in middle school here in America and we talked mostly about the Greeks, Egyptians and some Roman and Indus Valley stuff

Never get tired of this video.

my history teacher who was born during segregation told us a story about growing up in texas his mom and him went to huston to visit his grandma. he kept asking his mom to take him to get water and she would take him to the white water fountain and after about ten times she tells him to just get his own water. when he goes the “white” water fountain was too high so he used the “black” water fountain. a sheriff saw him and pick him up by the neck and asked where his mom was. he pointed to his mom and then he asked her if she knew his son was drinking out of the “black” water fountain. her being her said “put my son down. i wont teach him to be a damn racist” it’s crazy how racist the united states was not even that long ago. times are changing for the good he was born in 1953 i believe

It was fun watching you react to this video. I enjoyed your depth of knowledge. This is one of my two absolute favorite history videos making the rounds on RU-vid. You may also want to check out one called "The Fallen of World War II" which is also amazing.

22:00 I just spent almost 3 weeks in Portugal (I'm in Phoenix Arizona) and I think the answer is not for a long time. Columbus was trained (at least indirectly) by Henry the Navigator and most of the naval technology came from his expeditions.

this is what i call an interesting and good reaction haha, good video! it's nice to see that someone's actually interested in what they're watching

One month ago??? The original video's been up for 4 years. I'm surprised there are still people making reaction videos to it. That said, more people seeing Bill Wurtz' content is always good. Everyone go watch the songs and history videos on Bill Wurtz's channel.

My kids love this video, and it's really helped them to see where historical events fit into the bigger picture.

21:43 there is also the prejudice angle. Since the Italian Renaissance was Italian there was a desire to trash the Middle Ages hence why it is called Gothic Art, the Goths being barbarians that attacked Rome. Of course it is complicated naturally.

Probably to late but thought I'd share. Ozone can be made from the UV rays emitted by the sun splitting O2(oxygen) apart then the lone O rejoining an O2 to O3(ozone). Thought I might also add ozone can be produced by high voltage. Its can actually be a problem at power generation and transition station(I know cause I work at one). Ozone is more or less corrosive to the delicate tissues in our lungs. So lightning produces ozone because of the high voltage it produces. I don't know how much though, or if it significant enough to build up Earths early ozone layer. That would something I would like to know.

2:18 "It's a good place to start." The universe also thought so.

"That's how every it gets". It does make sense, he's talking about the universe as a whole.

mesopotamia had the first writing system, they had hammurabi’s laws written down and they recorded trade on clay tablets and used tablets as communication between people as well, and they recorded stories and myths as well

When you said “human progress went like this *arm swoop*” , I’d kinda beg to differ! There is a lot of evidence to suggest that the arc of early civilization had a much flatter curve than you mimed and may have begun its ascent much earlier than what is currently thought.

You should read this book series "earths children" by Jean M. Auel a finnish canadian writer its about a homo sapiens child who gets separated from her people and is taken in by neanderthal clan which then leads to her growing up with them. Its honestly 1 of the best books ive ever read! :D

I can watch hundreds of reactions to this video without getting sick of it lol

It was very nice to watch someone else nerd out as well about history. Good point about the video not being western centeric - some reactors get a lil butt hurt about it 😂 I believe cuneiform was the first documented writing system in the Mesopotamia areas. I remember being obsessed with Mesopotamia and ancient archeology while in primary school lol.

5:13 oxygen being converted into ozone by the sun's radiation.

I can guarantee that that amount of views would be over a billion if all reaction vids to this were counted

Those GDP through history videos are very informative. I think the US had a quarter of the globes economic output in the WWII era and just dominated the charts for 120 years.

Your "whahey"s made me laugh, especially for the quarks getting married.

I don't think there's any reason to feel bad or embarrassed about not knowing the history of all the regions. Not even taking into account how much of history we don't have written accounts of, there's just way too much to know unless learning those lesser known (to the west) goings on is what you've dedicated your life to. Even then though, you'll know those specific things and miss others.

this is the best guy i've seen at keeping up with bill wurtz's fast talk.

In my imagination smelting was the result of someone shortly after cooking food came into their lives tried to cook rocks.

1:11 Video starts 1:34 "I think it lost me about 20 seconds ago."

Man the beginning really trips me out. Like I can’t seem to wrap my head around coming from absolutely nothing literally before time started.

Just found this guy in my recommended I kinda like that he gives his knowledge and stuff he knows so after 1 video wich is a record he’s got my subscription

Love the react and the enthusiasm! Liked and subscribed.

The growth rate of technological innovation is far outpacing the growth rate of our wisdom in using those technologies.

his true excitement about silly stuff like planets existing or microscopic specs made my day

This is my first video of yours im watching. Your video came up in my recommendations. Im only 1 minute and 10 seconds into the video and i can tell i already like your vibe. Subscribed!

That's a good chance I want to watch all of your history videos, please keep making them.

I highly recommend "Overly Sarcastic Productions!" They do History and mythology and more, all incredibly well!!

Thank you very much for reacting to this video.

Love this guy's energy, solid reaction video with an entertainment boost which is rare with reaction videos. Nice job 😁

That was one hell of a 30 minute acid trip

Your videos are always so much fun to watch😊

with an anvil and hammer you can make a lot of complex tools. the question is how did we make the first hammer and anvil

I actually once had a teacher that showed this to our class, it was fascinating then, and still is now!

I just got you on my recommended and I'm glad I did. I'm 15 min in and I adore you haha. Subbed, 100%.

Actually it didn’t go into the future, th sprinting of the brain was referring to the use of printed “brainlets” now used in biological-science experiments.

I really liked your take on this video, so i subscribed

the beginning made me smile. very wholesome!

This is the first video I'm watching on his channel. And I'm really glad that I found it cause' this man's energy is just killing me :)

No new Zealand already had indigenous people for thousands of years before the British invaded. The Maori arrived over 3000 years earlier and remained basically untouched by the rest of the world, but it was colonised in the 1800's by British soldiers.

I think smelting metal went like this: Heat food, food good. Heat dirt, oh it now hard. Thus now pottery was invented. Let's heat rocks now. Oh shiny rock thing is now liquid. Ow hurt! Oh now shiny thing changed shape. I wonder if I can make a sharp knife with it. Must find more shiny stones. And thus smelting was made.

Yes, the number of things in space is increasing. If it increases much more, we might block our ability to go into space. There's already a lot of stuff up there that has crashed into each other and made a lot of debris to be avoided, and it keeps getting worse.

My big question of this caliber is who decided gold was cool? I mean who just walked up and said, “hey, this is a soft shiny thing thats basically useless but is worth everything you own”

Whenever i need a refresher on history i watch bill wurtz, very imformative

the intermission at 17:00 is for his other video the history of japan which i'd love to see you react to

one thing i love about america is how new it is, like my old school was older than america

You seem so knowledgable about a lot of different topics of history! If you made videos discussing/teaching history (as opposed to just reacting to other videos), I'd totally watch them! Just a suggestion :)

I remember sophomore yr (10th grade) my history teacher was just like "hey i found this video and its funny so lets watch it" the video ur reacting to is said video! the entire class was laughing most of the time. that was 6 yrs ago and I still love this video sm!

19:46 or so, he mentions the Pueblo. I live near there. It's called Mesa Verde. Absolutely phenomenal to visit. Hugely beautiful scenery to boot.

So, interestingly enough, humans did deal with Neanderthals, as they did make necklaces and huts and art in the form of paintings on cave walls and stuff. (Learned in my uni anthropology class). Humans now have 2% Neanderthal dna. We bred with them at least sometimes.

Wow this one blew up a little, almost 10x your subscriber count. Congratulations, hope you made a few bucks from it, but more so I'm glad almost 100,000 people got exposed to you're awesome content.

28:31 men i always loved this diss at the US in this video XD

I think one of the best explainations of exponential technological advancement that I've ever heard is: It took humans longer to go from bronze swords to steel swords than it took to go from steel swords to atomic bombs.

I think technology will continue to advance for a little while longer before plateauing. Kinda already see this in processors. Processing power of CPU's chips has not advanced much in long while where before it seemed like they were advancing 500 mhz every month. Also China has an issue with population. It's about to decline, rapidly, due to years of one child policy and now a situation where their birth rates have dropped significantly. That is going to wreck their economy.

its really interesting the difference between education in countries, because im from the us and we learn all about the native civilizations like the mississippi, the pueblo, the aztec, the maya, and the inca but we learn next to nothing about asia and africa

damn, i didnt know AVGN went to rehab. I'm kidding, great video my guy!

I love this guy's energy

6:48 One of the most prominent theories as to what happened to the other species is that we outcompeted them or even outright killed them off. And some scientists theorize that this is where the phenomenon "uncanny valley" comes from. The theory goes, because we had to compete with other human species, so we started to align things that sort of looked like us but not quite with danger.

Bill Wurtz also made a History of Japan.

Will Burtz's video was revolutionary, a beginning of a sorta golden age of RU-vid and small youtubers all alike.

Ozone is due to the solar wind that also makes the Northern and Southern lights. When the lights happen, the sun is burning away the atmosphere that exists and the regular oxygen turns into ozone. Ozone is also made when we burn stuff like nitrogen and oxygen in our vehicles and other such reactions. But ozone is deadly down where the animals and plants are, but protective up in the higher atmosphere. I mostly notice that the history covered is the history not utterly or nearly erased through getting curbstomped by the European civilizations. So basically Native North and South Americans and Africans barely have their history covered in general. We get more Native American history in America, but barely touch on Africa, and both get forgotten before High School ends anyways by most students.

Totally agree about the African and to an equal extent the Central and South American histories. The record is particularly sparse in those areas of the globe!!

I would imagine that smelting probably developed because somebody was eventually going to notice that the metal they were bashing into shape became softer (and easier to work with) when it was really hot. For people who use open fires for cooking, situations to notice this would arise pretty regularly. It's only a matter of time before somebody decided to make a fire hot enough to melt and cast it. Tin, one of the ingredients of bronze, has a melting point significantly lower than lead, and you can melt lead over a charcoal fire.

Recommend "The Fallen of WWII" it will change the way you view that war and leave you shook but in the end, there's something unexpected to break out from the darkness of the topic

Jabzy did a series on the Africans kingdoms and the scramble. Highly recommend it.

Funnily enough, to I think Egypt it wasn't so great when Mansa Musa came around. The place where he showed up was the most central to the economy at the time, and it had a lot of gold because of that. But when Mansa Musa showed up, he threw around so much extra gold, that the value of gold dropped so much that it collapsed, and it took years to recover.

I love this channel so much lol

9:43 I could see a man watching lava/fire melt some metal on an adventure, to come back and see that it glistens, and it's harder than the stone he'd chip at to get it.

This is a double history lesson

there's a book series by Robert J Sawyer, a Canadian screenwriter called The NEanderthal Parallax, which is a trilogy of books where multiple humans exist called Hominids, Humans and Hybrids

" i control the food, now everyone wil wanna be my friend" That one kid that bought snacks

10:46 history class in america be like: wait there are places other than north and South America?

With the water in meteorites, that is the current hypothesis as to how water reached earth, and there is a further hypothesis that suggests there where amino acids, and nitrogenous bases (essential for the formation of RNA which then derived DNA.). Also, with "snowball earth", it has been theorised that it is this that kickstarted the Cambrian explosion, leading to multicellularity and the diversification of the animal kingdom. With the ozone layer appearing, that was caused by U.V light splitting diatomic hydrogen (O2). The atomic oxygen combined with the split oxygen to create triatomic hydrogen (H3) giving us the ozone layer. Also the Permian extinction event was the biggest and most devastating of all of the extinction events, and led to the extinction of 95% of all sea life (my uni dissertation was on this) and ~84% of all land animals was also wiped out. You questioned about the comparative history of humans living with other hominins, we actually lived alongside H.heidelbergensis, and H.neanderthalensis, and as mentioned by "Belgoarth the sorcerer" (below in the comments), we actually interbred successfully with the neanderthals and may well of hunted/bred them into extinction, just because we had a slightly different physiological structure. Love your reaction mate, have another sub!

Wurtz: *says anything* me: *I N D E E D*

Thanks fo checking in I’m Still A Peice Of Garbadge

" Can we go on land? " " *NO!* " " Why?" " *The sun is a deadly lazer.* " Classic meme.

I’d suggest reacting to the 2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season Animation by Force Thirteen!!
