Archaeology aims to open a window into the past by unearthing artifacts that show exactly how humans' ancestors used to live. But sometimes, experts have discovered archaeological finds that rewrote history. Rather than confirm a commonly held belief (cavemen weren't intelligent!), these finds would upend it (cavemen made art and crafted advanced tools!). More recent historical artifacts that rewrote history have changed the way people think about ancient civilizations and humanity as a whole.

    Weird History Narrator: "Archaeological finds ..." Me: "Who is this impostor?"
  • IMO, the OG narrator had a more elastic voice that let him land the jokes. He read the script more slowly and had better timing.

    Ancient budget cuts take down an ancient library. Some things never change. lol

    "... that features giant T-shaped monoliths, pitying any fools who walks near them" is a fantastic joke, which I will use any time I see any T-shaped anything around me.

    Hi! I’ve been watching this channel for years with my siblings, and I have always wanted to request a video about the history of type one diabetes. My younger sister has it and I think it would be cool to make a video about! Most people have a lot of misconceptions about T1D, confusing it with type two mostly!
  • I bet there were so many instances of this and there will be if we can ever rediscover what lost ruins have to offer.

    "Like a bunch of Thomas Eddisons" nice

    This narrator has my full support. Just because he's not the voice we're familiar with doesn't mean he's not worthy of narrating on this channel. I wonder how many of us would be overjoyed if we had the option to narrate. This guy doesn't make Weird History any less than before. I'm supportive wholeheartedly.

    Curiosity killed the cat but for a while I was a suspect.

    Archaeology is the peeping Tom of the sciences. It is the sandbox of men who care not where they are going; they merely want to know where everyone else has been. Jim Bishop

    Okay… It seems like Weird is going to keep pushing new voices no matter how much we protest, but I hope they keep trying, because this guy ain’t it.

    Most surprising to me were the African coins in Australia

    2:53 My dog ate my homework! Hahaha! That is a classic! Actually, a dog of the writer John Steinbeck did eat up half of his manuscript of Mice and Men and he had to ask for more time.

    Really interesting video! As someone interested in history and archaeology, I love things like this. Great job!

    "Feces Analyzer By M. Hankey". I didn't know Mr. Hankey, The Christmas Poo has a PHD 😁

    Why are you pushing Better Help? They sell clients therapy data to corporations.
  • @leutnant1010
    I know that we all were used to the original voice on this channel and I totally understand that we were surprised hearing a new narrator and it was weird at first but c'mon guys. Give this man a break and give him a chance to develop his narrative and his way of reading.❤️
