It is interesting how both wars and pandemics remain so relevant today!

Excellent to see the history of the Black Death covered from this perspective. Usually we just hear about far Western Europe.

This video had my stomach turning nearly the entire time. Outstanding pacing, amazing narration and striking visuals. This is one of the most important stories in human history and should be told in every school and this is the by far the best version of this chapter. As someone who has spent 10 years in the medical world and 6 in the historical one I can safely say that you did both of them justice. Bravo!

Once again you've literally MADE MY DAY BRIGHTER! Thank you so very much Sir. You're video imagery is the most beautiful of all history KZfaq channels. Your first series on Al-Andalus was one of my first, possibly and probably most probably THE first (lol) podcast that I remember falling in love with. And from that day forward I've never been able to satisfy my urge to find more and better material to sink into. I'm grateful there's so so many talented podcasters to choose from but to this day your stuff is no doubt top three (couldn't ever actually put inorder my one,two,three) and I always find myself going back and listening to older stuff while of course playing everything new ASAP. Your subject matter, presentation, imagery (video and audio) humor, your emphasis on the historical importance small and major events in history have lasting effects that resonate today, the clear and concise manner you present information especially when such monumental events become complex and difficult to fully grasp and portray significance to seemingly irrelevant bits that actually become pieces key to seeing the big picture.....I could go on and on but I hope you understand, what you do is great and there are so so many people out there who TRULY DO APPRECIATE AND LOVE THE WORK YOU DO. PLEASE keep up the wonderful work and as always thank you.

I think you did a fantastic job of underscoring the true lethality of this pandemic. The plague exerted such a profound impact on human genetics: there have been several mutations attributed to natural selective pressures exerted by the plague (The CD4 T-cell receptor in particular). Another gem my brother!

Incredibly proud to be part of this project with your channel. Let's hope we can make a big difference.

This is may be my first Project Ukraine video I’ve seen so I’m definitely behind. Love the description of the bursting bodies btw

Glad to see you participating in this project, wouldn’t expect any less, always admiring you

You're quickly becoming the expert on the history of Plagues in the History KZfaqr scene!

Great video. The visuals and narration are 👍!!

That war in addition to setting loose the pandemic also led to huge geopolitical changes in the region. After the war and the pandemic the golden horde imploded. The silk road ceased and the only remaining trade route was the one going through Egypt and then from Suez to India. Most of Ukraine was yanked from Mongol control and got into the hands of Lithuania and Poland facilitating the current ethnic divides (Polish Rus became ukrainian, Lithuanian Rus became Belarusian and Moscovian Rus became Russians). The pontic steppes, one of the most important sources of grain then and now became the "wild field" an uninhabited no-man's land producing nothing but slave raiding until 1774. All those changes also pushed west European exploration and colonization. Also need to note that the whole Mongol-Genoese war was related to the conversion of the horde to islam. Oz-Beg converted to islam during his reign but Jani-Beg, the son, was educated by Muslims from early on.

Bye bye

Thanks!

yo flash point, love the work. much love brov.

Damn this is scary. Good storytelling

Word on the street is that the Mongols where pissed at the Genoese for putting their boy Marco in jail.

In Rogaland shire in Southern Norway, breast cancer is notably over-represented, as so many there stem from 3-4 females how survived the black death. Their survival was owed to a mutation that made them prone to breast cancer, passed on to their descendants...

Good thing you revived the cemetery.

I find it ironic that this huge event is why my town is known for. I just hope there would be less war and more tourists here...

You have Mecca as part of the trade route, which has only one source for being part of the trade route. There is archaeological evidence for this, except of a local market. The evidence is greater to north and south of Mecca

Ferengi, now I know that reference quite well. However, I wonder if people 50 or even 100 years from now will understand that reference. Just in case you do not know, the Ferengi is a fiction species of aliens that was portrayed in the TV series, Star Trek. Though the were seen in most of the spin-offs of Star Trek, they were main characters in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

Babyn Yar wasn't bombed by russians

Staggering knock-on consequences, though I'm sure it would have found Europe eventually no matter what

Thank you all for the collaboration!about to binge watch them

Wouldn’t it have been called Feodosia when under Genoese control? I thought Kaffa was the Mongolic/Turkic name?

Golden Horde aka Kipchak Khanate❤❤❤

“Russians SEETHING! Find out how with this one simple trick!”

Maybe you should do a project about the countries bombed by NATO.

Great stuff man glad to be working with you

I'm still getting used to hearing it called "Kiyv" instead of "Kiev"

Dogs and cats also ate the corpses, got infected and died.

Flashpoint my brother. I appreciate your determination and work. Moreso with the depth you reach is unprecedented. Ukraine and what it's currently going through is horrendous and should never be allowed to happen in the 21st century. Sadly it's not the only blight on humanity presently. Afghanistan,Palestine,Iraq,Yemen,Libya too need attention definitely not at Ukraine's expense. Alongside it is ok too.

I would say this is the highest quality video in this collab, maybe alongside Kings and Generals

Omg the voice of the kings and generals guy. A gay bugs bunny

one word: crusades

Can you link the original video?

I bet after the Black death the kingdoms of Europe the Middle East and Asia couldn't buy enough cats .

My card wouldn't work, but PayPal did. Just an fyi to anyone trying to donate with a card from the US. Good on ya man for getting involved 👍❤️

👍👍👍

Some sort of marmoset, not rats

Good work and ignore the Russian shills

amazingly this video does kind of fit the timeline of war of worlds anyways

Wasn't Coffa originally a Greek city?

🖤

Muh holocsust memorial

Not rats. Some other kind of rodent

is there a list of the channels. i regularly watch about a dozen but am not familiar with the rest and would like to be. thanks to you all.

ukraine more like Rukraine

missed your narration. And now even better by supporting such a good cause

Brain says YES to FPH releases

Well, my proud fellow Homo sapiens, please remember that if the predators don't get you then the microbes will. FPH: congratulations on a job well done.

Very proud to be part of #ProjectUkraine =) amazing videos by all the great content creators! 🇺🇦

Not a muslim a genoese rick man killed a MONGOL. Janibeg is not a local khan😂😂 he is d son of ozbeg the longest reigning khan in history of d mongols. The richest, most powerful son in law of roman emperor. i love ur videos though❤❤❤❤❤.

Y. pestis still around in Western US Sates in ground squirrels. Handful of people and dogs die/ year still.

I HATE HISTORY GRIFTERS I HATE HISTORY GRIFTERS

Area under the Golden Horde rule got pretty much Turkified❤❤❤

Who do you think you are to decide what the fate of the people in Crimea should be? Stick to making historical videos there is no benefit sticking your nose in modern day politics.

Is anyone else offended that propaganda has made their way into KZfaqrs portfolio? I'm not watching the episode.

Thumbs down for the political nonsense.
