I read M/car related and my automobile addicted mind automatically thought bmw "M" cars and thought either you commented on the wrong video or I clicked on the wrong one and it wasn't until I read it a 3rd time that it clicked
Could you talk about Zone Rouge in France? It's among the most toxic places on earth rivaled only by Chernobyl. I was reading a little about it and apparently some of the top soil there is up to 17% arsenic.
"Skull and crossbones automatically means pirate grave." Good for tourism but it's part of the popular memento mori theme on gravestones. I'm not saying none of them are pirate, but not all of them are.
It's an awesome place, Ile Ste. Marie is what put Madagascar on my radar. Make sure you have a scuba diving licence too, if you can; it's excellent there.

If I'm part of Captain Green Beard's crew, and he died, and I'm burying him, why would he put our treasure in his grave? I can understand the Captain wanting to keep some of the booty in a safe place in case the next raid fails but he and some of his crew survive. But, really, he probably figures if the next raid fails, he's not going to survive.
Sweden 🇸🇪 had a go at colonialism? 😮 Huh... Course the Swedish empire was big, but this is the first I herd of swedes trying conquer territory outside of Europe
the only colony Sweden had for a long time was Saint-Barthélemy in the Caribbean but there were also a few other shorter lived swedish colonies like New Sweden in the present day US and the Swedish Gold Coast in present day Ghana.
@@SwedishEmpire1700 Shame, any idea what root cause/s were that made you pull out? Was it a lack of Kroner? Rival powers of Europe? Too complicated to navigate?
I wish the constantly displayed map had been more specific. It appears to contain at least two islands, one named Marie and the other named Abraham. They are highlighted for some reason. To the left of the map is something that might be Africa or Madagascar, but I don't know which. So, where is Nosy Boraha?
Ancient pirate crews of multiple generations visiting the same places for generations centuries apart leaving grave stones. New captains take command and make their own legacy. Questionable folks but they had their own code so to speak. Paradise sadly ending in tragidy. The Navy often pardoned pirates who reformed their ways, becoming pirate hunters. These are our stories lol. A navy of Pirates versus a more experienced navy of pirate hunters. And the locals going....."guys....get off the grass.....seriously I just mowed the lawn....son of a....!".
One piece reference 17:34 "you want my treasure, you can have it I left everything I gathered together in one place. Now you'll just have to find it!."
Simon, buy us a ship and let us go set sail. Obviously I’ll be the Captain and maybe you can be my Number 1. We’ll find ETA and then we will start our mission. To explore well charted islands, to seek out new content, and to boldly do coke, like no one has done before. It’s going to be a five year mission, and probably cost a great deal of money. We (you) might need to push that burnt titanium card to the max! Simon, make it so.
When are you going to do the Donner Pass in California???? I seriously can't believe you haven't covered this yet as fascinating as it is and what happened there!!! Especially with the blizzard and weather patterns that's going on in California right now.
