What an awesome documentary. This was really interesting and so informative. I am blown away now by realizing how important glass is and has been in our human development. I am astounded now when I think about all the things we couldn't do or have without it.

I couldn’t have said it better. 👍🏻 Little did Louis XIV know where his vanity would take us. 😃

Makes me feel old. I remember before color tv. I was in the military before communication satellites.

Certainly exceeded All my expectations a wonderful film😂❤😊

Well done

Beloved glass. The simplicity of its charms is missed here - oh yes, the cosmos is revealed supposedly endlessly, better and better, but far more important are its beauties, its ability to amplify illusions, its textures, its deal with the soul. The appeal of glass is its ability to share invisibility with clarity in our own experience. Its translucence, its infinite (and not) abilities. The simple glint off a facet can turn the mind and heart. Ah well. The cosmos dazzles, and we happily look for something greater than the mirror-ball, or a crystal, or Chartres. Be well in your lit searches.

Incredible indeed.

Wicked awesome Deadly 👌 cape breton canada 👌

Aww thank you so much for watching and your comment 🤩🤩

Concise and relevant. Wonderful content here.

Very interesting.

Give some of that foldable glass to origami guys. No telling what a phone or computer screen will end up looking like.

This was inspiring actually!

You failed to mention that ancient Greeks used glass lenses (katoptron,dioptron) to conduct astronomical observations. It does not start with Galileo..

The history we are thought is very incomplete, and sometimes very wrong.

I'd like to see unbreakable glass. I don't mean laminated where the shards are still stuck to the plastic layer. I know nothing is truly unbreakable. I don't like glass just because of its fragility. Get rid of that and you've a wonderful material

Savvy plastic?

holy smokes, thousands of years with millions of intricate windows held together by lead. It's no wonder people believe in skydaddy.

30:50 min. Him and his brothers went to France.…. Is the guy more than 200yrs old??????.😂

You forgot about moscowvite, that got its name from people in Moscow for glass. SiO2

It’s impossible to cram all new knowledge and aspects into one show. That said, they’ve included a lot of info here!

You keep calling potassium nitrate Soda and sodium interchangeably.

5:47 field diagram looks more like soccer than football. Soccer fields are between 75 and 100 yards in width whilst American football fields are 53 and a third yards. So this gives a professional soccer field quite a considerable greater surface area than a regulation American football field.

Invention? Occurs naturally

Broken rocks occur naturally, but that doesn't make stone tools any less of an invention.

The video was going along just fine until the girl with the boy haircut said they took the glass to the moon. It's well known and proven nobody ever went to the moon. Aldrin and Armstrong admitted this several times on mainstream TV 😮

You did not read the Armstrong and Aldrin statements carefully. They simply stated that they did not "moon" Michael Collins while they were on the moon.

The background/sound effects were truly annoying and distracting. Couldn't even watch

Kinda cheesy

This is not a 4000 year old journey through glass this is nothing more than a current glass making technology documentary don't be fooled by the title

I guess the part where they talked about glass making in Sumeria, Egypt, Venice, Gothic cathedrals, etc don't count

Why not use English? It has a rich past tense... 'It was. Do we need an orchestra? Can't listen to the music. Can't concentrate on the narrative.

They're wasting billions of taxpayer's hard earned dollars on this ridiculous nonsense.
