What did he say at the end? I couldn't catch it

@@ninoska.noe. "he said 'morning' and i said 'morning' and my mate said 'who's that?'"

I used to be the friend in that situation a lot as a kid. My parents would be chatting with someone at the grocery store or something and after we left I would ask who it was and my parents would say they have no idea. I didn’t understand why you would be talking to someone so friendily when you don’t know them. I still don’t talk to strangers like that but I understand other people do. I also remember when I was a kid one time I was walking with my parents and I ran ahead of them and there was a young Australian couple walking the opposite way. As they approached me one of them said “G’day!” and I just froze in shock. I’d never actually heard someone say g’day in real life and I didn’t know what the appropriate response was. Also, I was scared by the fact a stranger had greeted me. Even at 8 years old I was riddled with social anxiety when talking to strangers. So I ended up not saying anything to them because I was in too much shock to think.

Don't forget to feel bad for the bears and lions too...

opium was a thing back then

@@stoat2 It still is ;) but would the Romans have had access to it? Opium Poppies are native to Southern Asia. They could have traded it for it though.

@@MerkhVision the Romans did use opium poppies and some other plant anaesthetics in human medicine, at least if you were rich enough to pay for a clever Greek doctor.

wrong. roads weren't build at first, they just happened when people used a path often and then in order to not walk on a muddy path they build some of them into roads. chances of the first road being build on a strait foot paths is very low.

still no answer... so i guess the first administrative empire(s); Persia ? Babylon ? Egypt ?

@@oddballsok I'd say likely even before that. Uruk usually is considered the first city, founded at least centuries before Babylon, and I'm somewhat confident that they had roads. I'm just wondering whether something before Uruk may have had something worth describing as straight roads too.

@@OriginalPiMan Uruk was the first megacity but was nowhere near the first city. Uruk thought the first city was Eridu and there were a bunch of temples there about it over like 2000 years but it was so often destroyed by flooding it'd be hard to say. That said actually Cursus' in England and similar structures at Gobekli Tepe and other neolithic monuments very often involved tons of earthenwork for straight paths that even accounted for drainage. So I'd guess some neolithic age culture as part of some Kurgan or Ancient China or the Near east. Egyptian and Kushite tombs back when they were all herders and only built permament settlements for the dead also involved reinforced straight paths because the presence of that tomb complex represented their ownership of it as a campsite in a bend in the Nile or wherever even if they weren't going to be back for months. idk just more guesses.

Or... And this might be madness to suggest... But horrible histories tended to fact-check things, so probably read the same books at the elves, rather than just make shit up based on their own ignorance and bigotry like certain people.

@@peterclarke7240 nahh that can't be it

@@peterclarke7240 Well, based on the fact that almost nothing I've seen of QI is ever correct (and how often they've had to officially recant things they've said on the show) and the fact that Horrible Histories is at best an elementary grade glance at History, I'd say they're only half a step removed from just making shit up. They clearly just read wikipedia articles that exclusively don't have sources listed.

@@CharlesFreck Horrible Histories wasn't inaccurate though. Their historical advisor, who was paid to go through each sketch for historical accuracy, said there were only like 40 mistakes in the entire original run of the series. The a lot were either found to be false based on evidence they didn't have access to at the time (like them saying Richard III didn't have a hunched back) or slip-ups regarding timeline (like them using a photo of Dali that wouldn't have been taken by that point in history, or referencing pizza in a renaissance sketch)

@@staygoldponyboy8881 It was. And after the Fall of the western empire, it was the de facto capital of Theoderic's realm.

Aye, the Scots even

Or even the Scotti

Aint it older too?

@@emmettcoop1 Yes! Well, both sites are about the same age (as far as I know), but the stones were erected in Stonhenge only a thousand years after Newgrange was finished. It's impressive that Stonehenge has remained a centre of activity for so long, but there might be an even older site hidden under all the construction of Newgrange.

Newgrange at the Winter Solstice is on my bucket list. Sadly it's very hard to get a ticket. The Neolithic people should've thought about tourists when they built the place.

@@ulture Agreed, this is a terrible oversight during the construction process. I propose that we unite to file a complaint to the government to rebuild the complex in accordance with modern standards.

@@ambergris5705 You both comment humorously - but I've heard complaints from American Good Ole Gals in that vein Not spoken in jest whilst on tour in Europe! 🤔😱🙄

I live near two of them in Iowa! They are north-south roads, which are supposed to be along section boundaries. As you go north, fewer sections fit between the same longitude (north-south) lines, so they adjust every few miles by 50 feet or so.

@@beageler The Roman laws against disobedient slaves got a bit tougher after Spartacus's Slave Revolt.

@@lulairenoroub3869 I think that's the meaning of salary, yes.

@@beageler I was just saying that it's derivative is the Latin word, salarium, which means salt ration. Over time that was shortened to salary, and came to mean any contracted payment. I wasn't claiming that Roman soldiers' literal compensation for their labour was sodium chloride.

In series J a panel talked about the half-life of QI facts, so they regularly get debunked or updated.

Cool! Isn't that really the hallmark of solid intellectual inquiry? The fact that our "facts" are constantly under revision with the addition or review of evidentiary support? Maybe not for the facts they just got wrong altogether, but certainly for the facts that have since been debunked, revised, or otherwise altered.

@@zbr76 in fact that is the whole point of QI's regular revisiting of the question "how many moons does the Earth have", that science and scientific fact are not static things but depend on our understanding and interpretation

They are called correction lines. Longitude lines converge at the poles and become closer go gather as you go north or south. They are more common the closer you get to the poles. In American rural areas they are often landmarks useful for giving directions.

So by the same logic, any question by a left handed person is nationalist? Or is it another -ist, then? Also, since people didn't warp before the invention of the car, traffic laws are way older than the car.

@@beageler i feel sorry for you. Because you think before modern times that people had to be regulated for the most mundane of tasks. Wagons were not mass used. So there wasn't much point for "traffic" laws. Just like there wasn't much need for street lights or even stop signs. Just curious if you think in the 1700s they had a stripe painted down the middle of roadways too. haha

@@ModeratelyAmused First: You certainly have odd sensibilities to feel sorry for me for that. Second: Modern times started quite some time before the invention of the car. But yes, I think there were common usages for traffic even in the middle ages and before. Obviously. Third: Big cities had to deal with literal tons of horse manure every day. And even if no vehicles were used at all, I'd think they had traffic laws. Fourth: You not only couldn't grasp that my main point was making fun of the screwy logic in your first paragraph, your answer was also so ineptly snooty that you made me write quite a lot because of an aside comment of mine.
