4:26 800 billion? Might be a small mistake there.
-
The reason is the Himalayan mountain range and the insane amount of snow melt these mountains produce winch creates literally every single major river valley in this area. Also the Himalayas and Tibet are home to 3rd largest store of fresh water on the planet after the artic and antarctic.
-
4:20 I sure hope he meant 800 million, instead of 800 billion!
-
The Yellow River, The Yangtze, The Sarda, and The Ghaghara all flow from the Himalayas and flow through much of the arable land mentioned. Those mountains giving billions of people water for their food and livelihood. Geography is a powerful thing to learn. it shaped our history and our way of life in ways we never could've imagined.

For anyone wondering: A circle of 3,300 km radius has an area of ~34.2 million square km. Which is roughly 6.7% of the Earth's total surface area.
-
This is so true. I live inside that circle.
-
"Times Square is nowhere near the true center of the world" the most blindingly obvious statement ever made but Americans shocked to learn it, amazing 🤣🤣🤣
-
It’s so weird that Mongolia only has two people per square mile, it’s hard to imagine that it’s people were so ferocious back in the days of Ghenis Khan
-
This area is also extremely efficient, so much fertile and green land, and a lot of water to connect many cities through boats.
-
The biggest factor is probably the Himalayas as the range extends through the centre of the circle. The Mountains are water towers and the river, and deltas on either side provide the impetus for growing rice. Monsoon is also a factor tracing back to the mountains. They are truly the third pole
-
I didn't realize how much I find geography and facts so interesting. All your videos are great!
-
I watched every split-second of this presentation , my attention was riveted upon it . Thank you .
-
4:24 "Which, when all combined, add up to 800 billion people" damn, they must have been really busy during covid 😂
-
As a Javanese, I simply forgot that this island could've been a country on it's own. But trust me, having almost 150m human in such a small space is really not a good idea.
-
Yet it also includes the most actively populated area of sea life and corals. Indonesia is the best area to see sea creatures, which used to surround other highly populated areas, but has been lost to over-fishing and pollution. We must protect the sea life in this area while it still survives, to keep it as it currently survives. A miracle to make us all proud. Indonesia, kudos!
-
As a person who live on the north western edge of the circle I can confirm that it's not that crowded as the rest of the circle
-
As a person that live in that circle, I can confidently say that traffic jam kinda sucks
-
The weather might also be a factor. No part of South Asia and South-east Asia faces freezing cold like Europe, Russia and parts of central asia. The weather in south and east Asia is more milder, no harsh cold, summers are less scorching and plenty of rainfall that attracted humanity thousands of years ago.

I’m from Burma & I never knew about that. Thank u for ur information.

Did he just say 800 billion muslims?
