A Short History of the Modern Calendar

[Michael046145]

Really liked the video, learned a few things. I know you don't want to produce a 25 minute video, but it would really help the slower people such as myself if you didn't speak so quickly. great job!

[ekchasep]

If anyone finds your pace too fast - thats what RePlay is for! I LOVE LoVe your work. * Simply brilliant *

[d0dger91]

Fair does, you know your stuff... What a fantastic video :)

[WizFizz]

I must admit that I thought that about the Mayan prediction of 2012 being the end of the world being not a plausible idea. The Mayans would have had a different interpretation of dates and times.

[nyoke55]

A good try/start but some of your information is way wrong. For example, the current days of the week (as we know them) were not named after the Roman names of planets/gods, but rather based mostly off of Norse gods. If you are going to say that Tuesday is named after the god Mars, it might help to say that Tuesday in latin is "dies Martis". Do some research or at least make sure your information is presented more clearly. Also .25 does not equal 1/25.

[Goofmobber]

Very informative =)

[cyberwilkz]

yeah, please talk slower so I have a chance of understanding :)

[dawgama4]

good video, cgpgrey style so I love it, subbed !



[jeremiahjw]

@dawgama4 Thanks. I wasn't copying CGPGrey's style though, I was doing stuff like this before I knew about him. :-)

[oodles86]

Does ANYBODY comprehend ideas THAT fast?

[DerKooze]

Days of the week are now named from the Norse Pantheon.

[dirttodollars]

@jeremiahjw A couple of weeks ago, before you posted this video, I watched several videos on the history of the calendar. Yours is better than any of the others.

[benybeeJz]

any tutorial to awesome make video like this? please...

[hockeyjonny07]

the 2012 thing will happen, jus sayin

[yoshinibble123]

Adjusting dates between the Julian calendar and the Gregorian calendar is so annoying when it comes to early 20th century Russian history :/

[ShiaExcellence]

Excellent vid! So much to learn so little time!

[rgoodwinau]

Vewry interesting! Some stuff I did not know or understand before.

[calpurnpiso]

Very good explanation.FYI, Julius Caesar was seen as a living God a Christ.He was "messing up with the stars" & was descendant of MAIA (Venus the Life giver or Vagina in the Sky)

Gaius (son of the earth)Octavius Caesar who became Augustus(exaltedChrist) was seen as the Son of God in Heaven(Divus Iulius=Julius Caesar)

Everything in the Roman Empire depended on religion & GODS so the calendar had to be precise to Talk to them.CaesarChrist change it from lunar to Solar.Hence July & August.2 gods

[brianlam616]

Great Video, Subbed

[giginapalm]

@jeremiahjw are you a 9gagger? if yes, not bad.

[lexryuichi]

thank you.... i learnt something today

[AbhisshekTube]

dude please talk little slowly . not every one is native english speaker . great video any way . subscribing you

[clockwork130]

@jeremiahjw Is (Guy from middle ages) Copernicus?

[danaross]

@morthim I agree but it is great steps in the right direction and better information than most people will ever get and it's in a great, quick, format. Well done.

[danaross]

Very great. I'm subscribing. Great stuff.

[morthim]

@danaross this is extremely inaccurate historically. the present length of the solar year and the number of months wasn't used until one of the popes. and october, way back then was the 8th month. it was during this rearangment by a pope that it got shifted into the 10th month slot

[DaftCunt1]

Bunk

[Dark5ith]

Nice video man. Just need to slow down a tad. I had to rewind it a few times to catch some of the facts. Or maybe its just me. :)

[RocketeerRaccoon]

Yeah, the whole 2012 doomsday is indeed a bunch of bunk, sure the world will end one day but not in our life time, we've got billions of years till the sun roasts the Earth. =p

[AMB4e]

U R speaking too fast to me T.T

[uceid]

Styled based on minutephysics I guess except it is not only 1 min.

Also, please don't use MEME from 9gag, 4chan or whatever.

[MrEspenS]

Lol Artige.no memes

[yewMP5]

Whats the name of he music at the nd btw?

[kerrywsmyth]

Y2K

[latviandude]

French Republican Calendar?

[sydney327]

It's a bunch of bunk? Well that solves it then! Thanks for the insight on the Mayan calender and reasons and stuff.

[MackerLiverpool]

Janis was the god of beginning... OHHHH.. MY... GOD.....

[Ethnine]

BCE? Why do they keep changing this crap. Just leave it alone. Still, interesting video :)

[Baarsian]

This is so full of errors. You get an F. Go back and repeat!

[Eltoca21]

Very interesting but a little tip would be to talk a slower to allow people to absorb and think about what's being said...

[p3ngwin]

@Eltoca21

you may want to accidentally less words yourself :)

[SiliconBong]

ICanUnderstandHimPerfectlyElto­ca21.AtLeastHeIsn'tTalkingAsFa­stAsTheGuyWhoReadsTheSmallPrin­tOnTheInfomercials.HaveANiceDa­y.

[Jesusdragon737]

25th of a day? Really?

[jamesPateMD]

Very Cool. I'll be subscribing. :-)

[jeremiahjw]

@jamesPateMD After Effects

[demoabi]

Please try to speak more a bit more clearly, other than that I liked it. :)

[yurianne07]

13 ppl want moar intercalated months

[TheSuperMusal]

where is the subscribe button. ???????

[MikeTaylor17]

Trending video. Subscribed and posted on social networks ;)

[MrTalktothebear]

look up "pacing"

[MrTalktothebear]

too fast.

[Jilly6667]

@MrTalktothebear i agree im soo confused!!!

[J5MARLON]

/watch?v=kcc_KAhwpa0&feature=p­layer_embedded

I think this will explain why its bunk.

[monse150]

boring!!!!!!!

[hardworker424]

Saw this on the Daily What Blog. Great Job.  Subscribed.

[ojfoggin]

After he said "the 25th of a day" I almost gave up watch. 0.25 is one quarter of a day (I.e. one fourth) not one 25th.

[jeremiahjw]

@ojfoggin Yea...I sometimes mix up number and time measurements. *almost* say 0.25 instead of .25th...oh well.

[Afghamistam]

@ojfoggin After you said "I almost gave up watch" I almost gave up read.

[93freestyl93]

I think you forgot to mention that every year that ends with a century (basicly 2 0's like 1900 or 2000 or 2100) does not have an extra day in February unless it is devidable by 400

just wanted to add that

[LeuxifyPH]

"Sextilis"

[Orephiuchus]

its a bunch of Bunk? and you know this how?

[PaintedAcorn]

Subbed as soon as i heard his voice... It's a soothing voice.

[midnull]

Very well done!

[chriz74]

Yeah whatever

[ArduinoMan101]

love thees vids they wrote my report once!!!!!!!!!!

[kappa431]

Very interesting vlog...keep up the good work.

[thenamesshiv]

what about the chickfila calendar...

[zakubabyboy]

Fantastic!  I learned alot! Thank you and happy new year.

[chriz74]

This is useless

[LadyPyrettaBlaze]

@chriz74 Useless are these pop singers videoclips.

[channelun]

Incorrect in too many ways. This is not information.

[GriffinnoFamily]

Did you smile when he said Sextilis ??? I did :)

[ShippoC9]

What about may? :(

[Leiflton]

yes, and biblically (ie rev) it is a 360 day year. so everythings really screwed up. see my playlist about 2012.

[khauff84]

the hindu's had a calendar which i belive is much older,

[romulusnr]

1:28 -- Huh? Islam wasn't around during Julius Caesar's time, it began hundreds of years later.

[linus5ryan]

"For God's Sake!" A Pope is the leader of the Catholic Church. NOT the Christians!!!! 

[linus5ryan]

@linus5ryan 2:34

[Minecraftrocks88]

nice video. I subbed! :)

[eovogt]

I'm going to goto church and get brainwashed now!

[Minecraftrocks88]

@eovogt AMEN!

[RupertFilbert]

@eovogt I doubt anyone's going to wash your brain there.

[BoogsterSU2]

I love how you put ragefaces in your presentations lol

[6nz6slayer6]

nice video. love the ending, mayan calander is Bunk!

[jeremiahjw]

@6nz6slayer6 The theory that the Mayan calender ending = the end of the earth is bunk. The mayan calendar is just a way of measuring time.

[dangeresque429]

Tuesday = Tyr's day

Wednesday = Woden's day

Thursday = Thor's day

Friday = Frigg's day

Fix'd*

[cashcleaner]

@dangeresque429

Was gonna mention that myself, but you beat me to it!

[krock90]

@dangeresque429 Friday = Frey's day

[ingersollturok]

this was pretty good man nice job!

[Azdian]

1st time to see this channel .. great videos .. subscribed!

[easalle]

Not bad for a quick bite of history though some things need more research. Also, nothing should be called "bunk" without a bit of explanation. Hope to see another high-speed video bit on the Mayan calendar just for kicks.

[jeremiahjw]

@easalle I see what you are saying. Looking back I would have given a quick explanation about how Mayans couldn't graph the non-ending calendar of time with their limited amount of stone. I did add an annotation to a video that covers this.

[ZombieMika]

yo i dont believe the end of the world mayan calender shit, but i would have really liked you to explain why it's bullshit. i think that would make a pretty interesting video imo

[horatio19]

Thank you very much for this, I consider myself enlightened!

[bleblebob]

It's like school, except interesting!

[darkguyitsme]

NO! i want to watch the world burn

[markd222]

One small error - you say "to account for the 25th of a day" - 0.25 is actually 1/4th of a day :-)

[ZackLawrenceShow]

"BCE"?! I'm very disappointed, Jeremiah.

[Aleitheo]

@ZackLawrenceShow Disappointed that they aren't sticking to pushing certain beliefs? the whole BC/AD system was flawed from the beginning since it was based on an event many don't believe even happened and of those who do, they disagree when it actually did. Plus this video is about how our calendar evolved from many different forms so it seems pretty fitting.

[Shamanmanwow]

You should have ended it with a "OR IS IT? and drama music

[jeremiahjw]

@Shamanmanwow Hahah! I like that idea. 

[Weezerlover94]

@Shamanmanwow Sadly, that would probably end in the gullible people who believed all this 'bunk' in the first place to kill themselves.

[elQuotho]

@Weezerlover94 Sadly?

[elQuotho]

@Weezerlover94 Sadly?

[elQuotho]

@Weezerlover94 Sadly?

[elQuotho]

@Weezerlover94 Sadly?

[KristjanKristjansson]

Very informative, entertaining and compressed. If you were a teacher the kids could everything they had two learn in one day in one hour, and then use the rest of the time to go out and play.

[DPpictures]

Very very interesting. Thanks for the upload.

[MsWriteword]

As always, I am in awe. Cusdos. New words in my vocabulary. Mother would be so proud.

[MattJamesAwad]

The Coptic Orthodox calendar recognizes Christmas as January 7.

[xchaosblade0]

@MattJamesAwad its the sixth

[MattJamesAwad]

@xchaosblade0 I've heard both. For my church, it's the seventh.

[xchaosblade0]

@MattJamesAwad oh thats cool man...armenians celbrate on the sixth

[TheMacGenius3000]

HOLY SHIT MIND BLOWN!!

[MrMLD72MLD]

[davidmansaray]

I learnt a lot in a short space of time. You did a great job!

[spartans724]

How did you learn after effects compositing? are you majoring in video editing at an art institute, or do you just do this in your idol time? Either way, great work.

[jeremiahjw]

@spartans724 Self taught and videocopilot(dot)net 

[spartans724]

@jeremiahjw

Plaudits again for your videos.

Thanks

[CommanderSwedePlays]

@spartans724 Wow, he's an image representing a deity part of the time? That's pretty amazing :P

[ManfromNetherlands]

You always make great videos.

[Dustrick]

I KNEW it wasn't about Jesus.
