You trying to warn us about something, Weird History?

I cannot say this enough: I really admire and appreciate the narrator's effort to pronounce non-English names and terms as closely as possible, and often being pretty decent at it too imo! 👍
-
We're all living in "Weird history" right now!😂
-
Thanks for acknowledging that the "Dark Ages" were not the whole of the Middle Ages, and they weren't as dark as many people believe.
-
Wow! You pronounced "Simón Bolívar" and "Córdoba" in Spanish with the stress on the correct syllables! You don't get that often from English speaking Youtubers... I really appreciate the effort. Gracias and keep it up!

Hey man, my anxiety is bad enough as it is with the state of the world. Weird History? More like... Worried History

Nice Bill and Ted reference!

Love hearing your weird history take on things! I was a kid in the '90s and '00s, so it would be fun to get a video from you guys about Pizza Hut and the pan pizza program. Otherwise, keep it up with the top notch vids.

Technically, the sun still never sets on the British Empire

Anyone else click on this video to take notes on what to do as our shitshow is going down in flames, lol?

Weird History is a major historical power and will never collapse

The Seleucids in Persia fell to Parthia. You forgot two by the way.

The final nail in the coffin for the British empire was when they returned Hong Kong to China.

Ah yes the best narrator. Ty

A+ video! Fascinating topic and examples!
-
Two things: 1) The narrator is so great, I admit I only watch episodes featuring him. 2) Who is he? I, for some reason, can't imagine him NOT having a well-maintained beard.

Thanks for this! 🔚

Never thought I’d ever hear Rome, Georgia referenced on a weird history vid haha.

10:45 It's interesting that the 90s there were so unstable, they were a blast in the states!

So that's why Constantinople got the works!
