Nah. He got ran over by a train on the underground railroad. He said it himself. Harriet Tubbman was the conductor and she felt sorry for it ever since.
@@frenchynoob Fair point. Oddly enough for my case, I never paid much attention to our history, and now I know more about the history about another country than my own.
I think that might be the first time I’ve ever seen someone not know how Lincoln died and if you happen to read this comment no he did not get run over by a train. He got shot in the back of the head by a famous actor while watching a theatrical play in ford’s theatre. the actor was John Wilkes booth a southern sympathiser who despised lincoln for defeating the CSA .
You definitely should react to some of his other videos, since you enjoyed this one! He's pretty funny and teaches some interesting stuff about history and general culture.
I mean she’s not American. I’m sure you have no idea how the former politicians from her country died. Why would a non-American need to learn about the Civil War in the US?
28:42 Contrary to how it's explained in the video, the Phoenician script didn't have any vowels. It, like the hieroglyphs it was distantly derived from, was a type of writing system called an abjad. Essentially, only consonants get symbols there. The ancient Greeks were perhaps the first people to use an alphabet. They repurposed several Phoenician symbols whose sounds they didn't use and replaced those with vowels. Then the Romans adapted the Greek alphabet into the Latin alphabet, and some other variants became the basis for Norse runes and Cyrillic. Hieroglyphs are basically the precursor to just about every writing system currently in use today, except for those derived from Chinese characters in some manner. Abjads (only consonants get letters) are probably the oldest kind of writing system to exist, while alphabets (consonants and bowls each get letters) are the most relatively recent. There's also syllabaries (e.g. Japanese; each letter is a consonant/vowel pairing) and abugidas, aka alphasyllabaries (e.g. Hindi; each letter has a base sound but changes depending on what kinds of markings are added to it).
Just a tip, if you plan to continue the Fancy series, you are meant to switch between IH's main and second channel (Incognito mode) after every episode. A lot of people miss that part. Also, the Wycliff bible was illegal because, like was hinted at in the video, priests used to be the only people able to read it in Latin and they abused that to lie and get more power or riches. Anyway, Internet historian is great for reacting and i would love to see you do more of his stuff.
I don't think anyone's mentioned it but you should always watch his ads because they're all pretty unique. He's got a different character for each company he's doing an ad for. Sometimes there's crossovers but the main one is Nordman.
This is the best kind of reactions, neutral, paying attention, innocently clueless at times while being cute all the time. I don't mean to sound condescending, but this was in my mind the whole time. I want you to learn about the world more but I want you tonever change at the same time.
Fun fact, moi means: The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.
