Mom: Is your homework done yet?
imagine your failed exam "brick" will be in the museum after 10000 years
that thumbnail is legendary ! I can't believe they had homeworks and angry teachers 4000 years ago crossing the entire page.. Heartwarming to see our ancestors sharing our struggles
"Aziz, where is your homework?"
Fun fact; our modern "timekeeping system" 24 hours is a day, 60 minutes is an hour, and so on. This system is a surviving system we inherited from the Bablonains.
wow. i wasn't sure what to expect coming into this, but this was an amazing story. 🤯
Well, "my dog ate my homework" wasn't a good excuse, was it?
Imagine being congratulated for speaking all elements known
I can't believe I am following for already more than 3 years. The time passed so fast but always great content on your channel. Wonderful.
So…….do you accept late assignments?
I just can't wrap my head around how they could do this level of math before they discovered the easy concept of numbers how they are today.
"Pythagoras and his squad was so shocked by this concept they drown a guy at sea as so much for suggesting it"... damn Pythagoras and his followers sure took their math serious!
Thank you Tibees for this and your many other refreshing and fascinating videos - and for those yet to come! One feels inspired to learn cuneiform...
Stunningly amazing content Tibees !
That was great. Thank you very much Tibees.
Congrats tibees. Your channel is evolving day after day. I remembered when you started while still doing your post graduation degree. Now it is already close to 700k. Keep it up
Fascinating, absolutely fascinating. Tibees is the best. What a delightful teacher she is!
Very intriguing and informative video! Thanks Tibees : )
You are always an absolute delight to watch. I changed careers later than some in life and I have done very well in mechanical engineering and I'm grateful for having some of your videos to cover a few topics. Videos like this are entertaining and icing on the cake besides the fact that you're easy on the eyes. :P
Fantastic video, Tibees, thank you!
