In this video I look into the history behind the common expression of being under the weather. We will look into its historical roots and the original meaning of this idiom.
All that glitters is not gold is a saying that has been around for a while but where does it come from? In this video we will take a look at how the saying evolved throughout history. Along the way we will also take a look at the story of the goose that laid golden eggs.
In this video I look into the history behind the common expression Playing the Devil's Advocate. We will look into its historical roots and the original meaning of this idiom.

In this video, we take a look at when smoking was introduced to Europe. Colombus brought tobacco back to Spain when he discovered the New World but blowing out smoke from your mouth was not seen as natural and soon aroused suspicion.
Through the coming centuries, smoking was adopted by the population and came to be regarded as a medicine of sorts, incorporating it into the Humoral theory and Miasma Theory of the time. it wouldn't be until the 20th century that the true harmfulness of smoking was uncovered.

In 1797, London, haberdasher John Hetherington designed a new sort of hat for himself. The hat was tall and made of silk which gave it a shiny luster. When he wore it out on January 15, 1797, he was not prepared for the reaction of the public which resulted in his arrest and the new top hat was taken into evidence. In this video I will look into the origin of this story and discover how much truth there is behind the story of the first top hat in history.

In this series, I will cover all siege tactics that were used to capture fortifications and how to defend against them. This first episode covers the question of why you would want to lay siege to a castle instead of avoiding it. We will go over the advantages and disadvantages as well as an example of what happens if you don't capture them. We will also go over what the purpose of a castle is.

Long ago a species of bird landed on this atoll finding a haven without predators, they developed flightlessness. But this meant that when rising sea levels submerged the islands there was no means of escape for these birds and they went extinct. After thousands of years under water the islands resurfaced. But oddly enough the fossils of the birds before the flood are nearly identical to the flightless birds that still wander the atoll today. So how did these birds manage to de-extinct themselves? We’ll find out in this Evolutionary Tale.Graves Used to be TemporaryKobean History2023-08-03 | Watch the full video here: youtu.be/ajLXqgDJ8ts

In today's video, we are going to have a look at Monaco and why this microstate survived without being incorporated within a larger power such as France or Italy. We'll also look at how this country was even able to exist as it's just a sliver of rocky coast all of which can fit into one picture. Nowadays of course Monaco earns its wealth through tourism and finance, but those are both relatively recent ways of earning money, so how was Monaco able to support itself in the past?

In this video we take a look at 5 places in Rome that date back to Ancient Rome.
First, we have the Domus Aurea. This was a palace created by Emperor Nero. It was one of the most lavish palaces built in ancient Rome. After Nero's death, it was buried, and a Bath House was built on top of it. Because it was buried, it was actually quite well preserved. Nowadays, you can go inside of it and walk through these preserved underground ruins.
The second is the most famous one, the Colosseum. We'll go over the significance of its location, how it was constructed, and what it was used for. After that, we take a walk through the Roman forums and the Palatine Hill, which was at the center of ancient Rome.
Then, we will visit the Trajan Forum and Trajan Markets, which some archaeologists have interpreted as the world's first shopping mall.
And to end the video, we'll visit Castel Sant'Angelo. You might be thinking, 'Isn't that a medieval fortification?' Well, yes, it is, but that fortress was actually built on Hadrian's Mausoleum, which was the tomb of Emperor Hadrian. But, of course, since not much remains of that except for the base, in that section of the video, you'll also get a lot of medieval history.Burial in Ancient RomeKobean History2023-06-29 | Watch the full video here: youtu.be/ajLXqgDJ8ts
In this video, we will go over the development of burial places throughout the ages and how they evolved into the graveyards and cemeteries that we know today. From the earliest burial memorials from prehistory to the necropolises of ancient Rome, Anglo Saxon ship burials and the development of churchyards in the middle ages and the huge cemeteries that sprung up in the Victorian age.
Graveyards might have looked the same as they do nowadays during the middle ages but they weren't always used in the same way. They were gathering spots for the local community and markets and fairs could be held inside churchyards. The graves were also not always permanent and could be reused from time to time.

When I first learned about Pytheas, I couldn't find much about him in video form, so I decided to take it upon myself to share this interesting piece of often forgotten history and explain his voyage as best I could. I didn't expect it to turn out this long but I wanted to do the topic justice by including as much as we know about Pytheas' journey. I hope you enjoy learning more about him and what he experienced on his voyage.
