Its so much better knowing you are looking at real images that took time to research and know you're listening to a reap voice. So much of this stuff now on KZitem is just full of lazy AI generated generic images of people with a generic AI voice and i don't know about you but i find that to be heavy uncanny valley when watching and it puts me off instantly. This is still so professional compared to all that stuff. Well done.

536 is considered the worst year ever to be alive in history, and it continued for the decade of the 540s. Leif Erickson sailed to Greenland in the year 1000. The chimney was invented in 1100. Johann Gutenberg made it possible to have modern-day things like radios, TVs, computers, the Internet, smartphones and WiFi. Christopher Columbus discovered America to make the whole world in contact with each other for the first time, and America is definitely a continent, not a country. We can be distant descendants of Charlemagne. Because of low life expectancy from wars, famines and disease, I am so glad to live now in the 21st century.

I know you had just 15 minutes to cover a thousand years of worldwide history, and you did a splendid job. So I know, something like this, you can only pick the highlights. I would have chosen the Nika Revolt in 536, where political tensions united the people of Constantinople against Justinian, who was on the verge of fleeing when his wife, Theodora, talked him into standing up to the crowd, which resulted in the slaughter of maybe 30,000 citizens at the Hippodrome. That event salvaged everything Justinian accomplished, from kind of reuniting the Roman Empire to his codified laws which you mentioned, and it kept the Byzantine Empire going, which survived until the Fall of Constantinople in 1453, which again you mentioned. Had Justinian abdicated, the remnants of the Roman Empire would have died with him. Some scholars, believing the Byzantines continued the Roman Empire right up to the dawn of the Renaissance, believe Rome in all its forms lasted over 2000 years; had the Nika Revolt been successful, that would have been shortened to about half that.

The format is great, and it's a good basis for understanding a lot of medieval events. However, I feel that the selection of dates is a bit strange at times. The exploration of the Western European timeline is generally good (the Moorish invasion of Spain would've been relevant to mention, as well as the Cathar civil war and the Viking explorations over the Atlantic), but the video glosses over a lot of significant events in the East or Central Europe; a few examples: the invasions of the Huns, Magyars and Mongols into Europe; a lot of significant Byzantine events are ignored; if I had to pick one, the 1204 Sack of Constantinople is probably one of the top 10 most significant events in medieval history. The 1299 Fall of Acre, ending the Crusader presence in the Holy Land, also significant, as was the fall of Jerusalem in 1187. I'm not saying non-European history is insignificant, but just mentioning the Aztec Empire and some Japanese novel is a bit odd too. The Inca Empire was also significant, for one thing.
