hello. I am from hawai'i and was really favored by your kamehameha video as many kanaka maoli including myself went to the comment section explaiming our geneologies...as well as people finding out they relatives. I use familysearch which works with MyHeratige. I am glad to say i come from the lines of kekaulike, through kahekili's brother, kamehamehanui ai'lu'au. kahekili was probably the true father if you align the chants and mana of certain people between the 1650s-late 1700s. specifically that of kaumuali'i, kahekili, king kekaulike's dynasty and descendants along with cousins. they all had high mana, and all can connect to the kings of mauinui. mahalo for your history doses and what amazing art.

Apparently, Hollywood hasn't been up to the task. There was one TV movie in 2005 called Nelson's Trafalgar, but no others. Maybe because of the difficulty and expense of constructing a warship from Nelson's era. Master and Commander, for instance, built a replica of the HMS Surprise, but that was only a 24-gun frigate. Nelson's HMS Victory was four times that size. But CGI technology is getting better every day. Perhaps only the HMS Victory needs to be built of oak, tar and canvas, and the rest can be filled in digitally.

@@Gloriaimperial1 why are you Spaniards so salty when it comes to Britain talking about past success. Trafalgar isn’t important because of number of ships captured or destroyed, which was a very impressive amount for that era (these were ships of the line, not armed merchantmen like those at Cartagena). It’s important because it led to a century of unchallenged British naval control, which was crucial to British success. If you want to blame British propaganda then go ahead, but perhaps if Spain hadn’t lost its power and influence whilst Britains was on the rise, then it would be me moaning about ‘Spanish Propaganda’ instead

Music really is powerful

Such as the passage at 8:50, having the original French transcription written in the background for those who do speak it, and not just the English translation, I think would be a nice addition. It’s been something that consistently crossed me mind watching your videos. It may be a bit difficult as I assume it would be done by someone working on the art, or add a deal more work elsewhere depending on how it’s done, especially if you are writing in non-roman characters such as Russian, or Arabic, but I feel like it would add a lot more if possible.
