Your starting to relaxe more as you read the script, and thats awesome. It makes it so much more enjoyable as well as easier to understand your speach patterns. I also like that you have finally dimmed down that bare lightbulb behind you. It was a lot less distracting.

I think this one is among your best videos, Karl. Really loved it! And I can tell that "Welcomed with open triangles" was your first read of that sentence due to how off-guard it took you lol. Really funny reaction. XD Fascinating subject, I never knew about that city. I love learning about Antiquity and Classical era stuff. :D

@leightonolsson4846 6 месяцев назад

I get it, the people of Sybaris were basically gentrification gone mad lol. I think Croton's response was overkill though 😆

Most Americans were forced to take Physical Education during school, which means almost every single one of them spent multiple classes running track round a football field. For some reason, that's just the way school stadiums are set up, but it does mean most americans are familiar with the length of a football field and therefor understand it as a unit of measure.

8:17 😂 open triangles took me a moment but I got it 😂.

@Ubique2927 6 месяцев назад

Great video. The first time I have seen a video of this period. However, please show maps longer on screen.

FYI for the where is Simon people. He now has a new geography channel called Places.

@arnaldoteodorani277 6 месяцев назад

I am glad I made you laugh Karl, but I am afraid I am not nearly as talented as Radu 😊!

@Mikkelltheimmortal 6 месяцев назад

I decided to look it up because I don't know how big a Football pitch is compared to a Football field. Turns out that they are nearly the same. So if you can imagine a football pitch, you can just substitute that for an American football field. Bonus fact: The Canadian football field is larger than American.

@Jatheus 6 месяцев назад

Connecticut is approximately 3.218 million acres, or about 2.438 million football fields. That is USA Football. If you want Soccer fields, which is also called Football just about everywhere else, that would be 1.788 million football/soccer fields.

"I'm not a public speaker by trade" says the guy whose LITERAL job is speaking in public on these videos... WTAF? If it means anything, though, I've liked you and your presentation style since day one and think you should be upgraded from "Interim Host" to "The Guy". IMHO...

There is a difference between public speaking’, (speaking live to an audience in front of you) and recording something to be played to a large audience.

@RandomTChance 6 месяцев назад

Olympic swimming pools are used for volume as football fields are for area. Unless you have experience with the "yardstick" used it's hard to grasp scale. ✌️🤠

When Greece returns the things they stole in this period then maybe the Elgin Marbles can be discussed.

@MuchToDoAboutNowt 6 месяцев назад

"Greece" wasnt a country.

@chrisalford9626 6 месяцев назад

Right after England returns everything, ie never lol

@christopherhenrichs7543 6 месяцев назад

But yes, a football field is used to give a sense of scale here.

@christopherhenrichs7543 6 месяцев назад

Well an American football field is 100 yards, close to 100 meters I believe 🤔

@MrTexasDan 6 месяцев назад

It's so simple. Connecticut is 1,936 football fields wide. A football field is 91.44 meters. Or you can use the much easier imperial system, where a football field is a nice round 100 yards.

@Ubique2927 6 месяцев назад

19:22… what are those swastikas?

@dopaminedrought395 6 месяцев назад

They've been found in multiple cultures from ancient times. It was a symbol of auspiciousness and good luck for most of the Western world until the 1930s From wiki: The word swastika is derived from the Sanskrit root swasti, which is composed of su 'good, well' and asti 'is; it is; there is'.[30] The word swasti occurs frequently in the Vedas as well as in classical literature, meaning 'health, luck, success, prosperity', and it was commonly used as a greeting

@aceundead4750 6 месяцев назад

Football field is 300 yards, so despite a yard and a meter being different id go ahead and say a bit under 300 meters.

@Dragonfly0987 6 месяцев назад

Connecticut is measured in snooty upturned noses. And money. And private beaches.

How much more interimism is there? Isn't Simon rested, tan, and ready to get back to full time work? What the heck am I paying you for Mr. Whistler?

@joeobrien196 6 месяцев назад

Simon left. Not resting. He left. Seems he has not been replaced yet. Hence Carl is interim. Maybe full time.

@trevordillabough14 6 месяцев назад

Like whats up simon mo offense bro but i watch your channels for u man. I already stopped watching toptenz and ive watched all your channels for a long time. But gonna lose fans on your channels. Should twll people if your leaving or coming back. No offense to the new guy but he is hard to understand.

@resileaf9501 6 месяцев назад

If you watch Top Tenz, you should know why Simon isn't the host there, here and in Biographics. Like, you've already been told he left. What more do you need?
