Your opening paragraphs have me hooked. This is a large part of the way I try to teach my sons history.

@BoldBooksandBones 2 года назад

Hi nomaddenise Thank you for you kind words. I wish your sons the best in life and that they become great men with wisdom about our human kind. Have a nice day, Lieven

Beautiful video, thank you.

Great video, thanks a lot. I particularly appreciate your approach to history, it briefly shows how the different cultures contributed to the creation and transfer of knowledge. It also confirms a fascinating fact that travels through ages: humans can be amazing doing the impossible to learn and create... Just as they can be brutal creatures spreading fear and terror.

You bring up great points here. I think is one of the best booktube channels. It's intellectual, informative and engaging. The videos are well produced, too. I just dislike most of booktube, but channels like yours are an alternative to the pretentious "book haul" videos, TBRs and dark academia.

Dear Camille, thank you for your kind words! I'm happy that you enjoy the channel. What do you like to read most?

@@BoldBooksandBones The Classics. I've been on a Russian lit phase and just started on FS Fitzgerald this month. I like how you described yourself in your other video as a slow reader, because I am, too.

Perfect! Thank you for sharing. Have a nice day :-)

Amazing. I am short of words right now to describe how I am feeling at this instant after watching this video. You are also a very good story-teller, how good compared to Seb; for that I need to read the Light Ages. But overall I am intrigued with the whole idea of use of knowledge (particularly Mathematics) in establishing the current world order. Thank you so much. I am indebted to you for these deep insights. Xoxo
