[Laylawantsthisname]

[yowurstnitmare]

there is one thing this commentator is unreaistic about is they tend to romanticize the times when most ppl were harsh and children were not treated with tenderness. even without the plague, one must remember that rampant abuse and brutalness as well as suffering was just par for the course. the sentimentalities we think of today were not true for the average person back then.

[yowurstnitmare]

necessity tends to prompt initial invention.

[virgoeyes]

Black death = a period of transition. BUT the Middle Ages was not as dark as we think it was, Europe was flourishing

[WillShakespeare2007]

We haven't moved on much if this happened today there would be some people still praying and thinking it would help.

[ironmadion55]

3:36 made me jump. lol

[Socoolscienceshow]

Thank the odds that finally people decided to use thier brain instead of belief, to think if rome had never fallen & religous cults didnt come into power, I could be living on Europa right now. Damn religous people with your damn cults!

[NorthernerMatty123]

Ahhhh the Renaissance arguably the best period of European history.

[Elizabeththegreatest]

Those lazy bums deserve it!

[Bethalaine]

such karma befalls the nobles

[fiuitto001]

scary

[c1t1zensn1ps]

3:37-3:39 lol dumb editing.

[ERASER1091988]

@c1t1zensn1ps That was the medieval orgasm.

[topayo]

at the begining he said corn, corn wasnt introduced to europe until 1600's when the americas was discovered...

[vchastityv]

The "AMERICAS" were discovered in 1942 If you want me to go on a nerd rant Vikings discovered them in the earliest centuries. Native American's just kinda there

[topayo]

hey einstein... your off topic buddy, i dont give a shit about your knowledge on vikings and natives discovering the americas a while back we all know that your not the only one, its just that "CORN" was not introduced to europe at the time as it is a native crop of the americas wich europe had no knowledge about at the time. capiche? comprende?

[Bethalaine]

@vchastityv lol 1942

[lamenzies]

I think he means corn as in grain (rye spelt etc)

[Jay12345able]

@topayo

Corn was probz introduced way before that,

Without corn, how was jesus able to provide bread?

[topayo]

@Jay12345able

Well the bread at the time was made from yeast, or flower. Much like today actualy, the only people who eat bread made from corn are the Afro Americans, traditional slave food.

[baraxor]

@topayo

"Corn" in the British/European sense ("kern") simply means grain...modern Americans think of maize as corn, which was unknown to Europe before the commercial exploitation of America.

[topayo]

@baraxor makes sence

[ERASER1091988]

@topayo Doesn't make sense it's spelled sense with s not c

[virgoeyes]

@ERASER1091988 You're wasting your time, most people can't spell....and they will never learn

[MrsNorris55]

Is anybody else having problems with an occasional skip in the audio?

[stagmar1]

Yeh i am... lol

[tommycore]

yean man, well annoying!!...good documentry tho

[matteoprez]

@MrsNorris55 to say I hated this problem is such an overstatement.

[shakti1111]

I wish they wouldn't keep running the same video clips in a bunch of different contexts

[enteng2366]

i want to finish this docu......

[adarkenedmind]

See, they even admit this is where scalping comes from.... WE didn't do it first.. it was something the natives were taught by the europeans, namely the french.

[mohdfigo]

yeaaa

[cpisretartedmuch]

the rich now have to work

big deal

[hismajestykingston]

[exxtremebordom335]

I can't believe I've made it this far. lol.
