Well this is the longest video I have uploaded on the channel so far...let me know what you think? If you enjoyed this extended version you may also enjoy the latest extended video I made on the Bronze Age Minoans kzread.info/dash/bejne/pmqXqtCbibrRYKg.html Also, I used a couple different microphones in different sized rooms on different days while recording this video(out of necessity)...so this may sound slightly different tones at times.

Bronze is used in a lot of modern machinery etc, when the engineer wants to make sure only one of two contacting parts is being worn away, they make that one from bronze and the other from steel. Bronze is still pretty hard so it resists abrasion pretty well, but when it's worn away you only need to swap out the bronze part.

If it’s buried deep enough it should be reasonably safe from solar flares and EMP events. Moreover, I expect that buried CDs and DVDs will have good prospects of being readable even 3000 years from now.

57:55 The Tigris and Euphrates confluence has two names depending on who you ask: Arabs call it Shatt al-Arab (شط العرب) meaning river of the Arabs. But in Iran, it's called Arvand Rud (اروند رود), the swift river. Or at least Shatt al-Arab is only considered the part of river that is in Iraq. At the Iranian border the river Karun from Zagros mountains joins Shatt al-Arab and forms the Iran-Iraqi border. This part is considered Arvand Rud in Iran.

Hi. As for the state funded tomb raiding theory, it is commonly accepted in the end of East Han dynasty in China, aka the Three Kingdom Period, head of the Wei state Cao Cao (c.155-200) organized the first elite exhumation squad to fund his state as well as its war machine. So yes, such event may as well have had happend in Egypt.

I usually don't have time for such a long video but if you publish one from time to time, I'd certainly watch!

Love the additional content and free flow angles utilized. Thank you for your time, efforts and energy.

Epimetheus is by far one of the greatest history teachers I ever had.

These types of videos don't please the youtube algorithm as much, but I hope you continue to make these extended versions for the super dedicated fans like us!

Love both but this extended version was packed full of great information and graphics. Thank you!

Love this & the extra commentary. It makes the presentation feel morr like a warm conversation than a droning lecture.

Honestly really glad to see you making longer and more detailed videos than the 10min we usually see in your channel. This is exactly the kind of history content I enjoy, great job! Subscribed in the hopes of seeing some more longer, extended videos.

I loved this! I think the longer format is great. You should def do more videos like this. I like the way you weaved between the OG video and new stuff, though I think a long video for itself that does not have to do that would be better. Overall though, you should totally do some more stuff like this.

Don’t change a thing ! Keep it honest like it is. You’ve been doing a superb job,on your own and it shows in the quality of the video! Great to watch.

I freaking love your channel. I'm probably subscribed to every history channel on KZread and yours is one of my favorites. If I wasn't a struggling single father I would be a patreon.

I love this idea, you release the main video and some time after it you release a longer version with commentary, it gives us baseline context and makes it easier to follow your longer video when it comes out

The full version is even better than the first version - really epic narrative. The history of rising and collapsing empires in this region is so complex and you really help put light on it. Thank you for the excellent work!

Maybe it's a matter of training the narration, but I think onde version complement the other and would like both about civilisatory topics!

I like them both [actually went out of my way to watch the shorter version after I came across this version]. Each serves its own purpose. So if you want to do another of these expanded versions, I think you would find an audience for it. I personally enjoyed the extra information / detail that you provided, as well as the slightly less formal style of the commentary in the additions.

hi, this is the first video of yours i have seen. loved it, totally worth having all the extra detail - i think the shorter version would have left many questions - while not all could ever be answered, this does go seem to tell us as much as we know at this time. thank you for putting it together.

Excellent video. I learned quite a bit. The additional commentary added context to the dry facts.

Love your videos and really enjoyed this one! Pausing and explaining extra details, fleshing out certain parts, also liked how you stopped to explain little bit of your process. eg, How you talked about enjoying drawing those 'emoticon faces (they DID look great haha) and some of the other drawings and how you did them. I prefer a longer video that i can take my time with over something that just rushes through. (Unless thats the point like the Oversimplified vids) Great work!
