Those of us a little older (I’m 61) remember when people from the late 1800s were still around.

Iam so happy my grandfather was into researching family history and recording and researching alot of it. I have a Picture of the "Jugendstil" house I grew up in after it was built. With people looking out the windows and on the corner, where today is a side entrance to my neighbours flat, was a store for Colonialwares and Groceries. I also have a picture of my great great great uncle and great great great grandfather who both fought in the Boxerrebellion (on the alliance side...) there's also a bow and arrow and a wooden statue, which is still in my moms living room, that they supposedly brought over). I also have a picture of my great great grandma and her twin who (we just later found out) were apparently relatively wealthy polish jews but never talked about it and noone in my family knew until now(since we are german and yeah, you can imagine why they hid that part of their identity at the time). I also have pictures of my great grandpa from the other side of the family in an SA uniform... There's so much more... I often thought about uploading some of these to a subreddit dedicated to old pictures (because I think people would find them quite interesting) but somehow it feels a little to intimate and, knowing the geoguessrs out there, I really don't want to dox myself via some picture from 1905 or something. :D

I think there are many people who find the audio recording of Scott to be eerie or disturbing. That's only a natural response; the sound is distorted and unclear, it barely sounds like a human voice. But I think we sometimes fail to listen to these voices and perceive them as people. Hearing this audio is creepy, but I find the sound kinda cute when I picture some random historical French guy singing a nursery rhyme into a machine he made. I like to try and imagine his thought process before recording this. Maybe it was something like "Great, great, I just built a cool machine! It'll probably make history and result in many technological advancements over the years. What do I say into it?" And then he just starts singing. That's so wholesome.

This author definetly had some good ideas like making Paris cleaner, low taxes, more equality, focus on science and forcing the king to be raised as commoners to understand the plight of ordinary people (he also says they have to fast and sleep on the floor for three days per year). But there are also some things he got wrong imo. I don’t know why it’s necessary to abolish all luxury goods and even ban coffee. I understand that in the context when this story was written these goods were acquired through slavery but why couldn’t there simply be a more ethical way of harvesting them instead? The fact that he ignores the role of women is also a flaw with his futuristic utopia. I also don’t see why it was necessary for them to burn so many controversial books and maintain their faith. It seems like he viewed knowledge and discourse about controversial topics as something potentially dangerous. Their religion also doesn’t seem to serve an important role in their society so I wonder why it’s necessary at all. The doctrine seems very passive and vague.

08:45 a real ghost was caught...

It would be cool to see one of these massive structures actually being built.

Dear A.I., what plans have thee for thy progenitors? Whilst thou keep us as pets?

Basically, work really hard and carry the tik toks

The one thing I tells ya about the future is that most anything anyone tells ya about the future is gonna end up wrong.

I am 81 years old. 100 years ago is not that far back. Your research and narration are excellent, Sir.

Somehow, the scale of these buildings changes the way they feel emotionally. If they were smaller, they'd be beautiful. But with the scale he designed them at, they're almost oppressive. Vast, uncaring monoliths dedicated to the functions and perpetuation of an omnipresent government.

the last one is actually insane

I think you downplayed the 3 massive Qing invasion waves that intend to conquer Ava that the King of Ava would deal with them. Ayutthaya was lost but the Qing invasions were withheld with much losses to the green standard and blue manchu bannermen.

I am lucky to have a one part of my family tree in which i found a photograph of my 5x great grandfather born in 1816

*Fun fact: most of you watching this video were born last century **#MellDuney616*

Fun fact: Louis-Sébastien Mercier was reincarnated as Gene Roddenberry

Never would they had guessed that the French would be a minority which they will be for sure in 2440 and that Islam is the state religion.

He was not the first. The first ever was in France in 1860 with the invention of Scott de Martinville. The first voice was singing Au clair de la Lune.

It's both exciting and creepy at the same time of hearing this guy from 1800's singing: "Mary Had A Little Lamb".

I had the liberty of visiting Athens in May and I saw most of the buildings you mentioned in this video. Most of these buildings don't look very impressive in images, but In person they are something else, and really take on a new status for me. The Hephaisteion, the best preserved one, really was great as well.

They probably thought that mobile phones were going to be super small!! Those 18th century fools!!!🤣🤣🤣

"The telephone makes it possible for a man who has already lain long in the grave to once again raise his voice and greet the present." Wow...just wow. It's all I can say to something so poetic.

Having the higher ups hide advanced technology until they believe the public is ready is a crazy thing to predict correctly

Everyone is talking about how somber and whatever this is but I’m sorry, it’s just literally “womp womp, womp womp womp womp. Womp womp”

my grandma was born in 1895 and died when i was12 in 1970 im now66 my youngest grandchild was born in 2015 120 years apart

12:48 ok, can we actually build the hell room as we have the technology now?

No one will read nor care about this comment, but I feel compelled to leave it. My great-aunt Nell was born before there was any industrial automation whatsoever, (1880's). She lived to see man land on the moon. I watched that historic event with her (I was 7). Her comment, which I remember: "I wish my parents could have seen this." I post this silly comment out of reverence for my Aunt Nell. RIP

It seems after analyzing the contents of this video of this historical read, that the author was likely seeing events within an alternate-history parallel world where events in human history took a turn for the better instead of the worst. An alternate-history world where objective morality and acknowledgment of its origin from a higher power/god, common sense, and reason are more prevalent and paramount.

Yeah, but it’s really just a recreation of what people imagine his voice was. It’s not much more than AI….wank

This is a refreshing and absolutely lovely film, which we are so glad ☺️ that you made. The artistic selections chosen are exquisite and our life is better for having seen them. thank you.

You didn't cover isochromatic pioneer Prokudin-Gorsky, who made series of colour photos, starting with 1903, nor Adolf Miethe, German inventor who made it possible in 1902.

kutayah wasnt conqured it was his dowry from germiyanids as he married their daughter

If you think the problem with architecture is Style you are seriously wrong. Car oriented urbanism is a bigger problem by far.

We aren't advancing as fast as we were believed to be ...that similar to the Jetson's by now. With computers and media tech we have, but transportation is the same.. Manufacturing and farming is a lot the same changing slowly. The elites, government and military do have the advancements of technology about 5oo years ahead of us (society) The just gave us cell phones relatively not long ago...but we have so much not be told to us. This will be revealed soon.

something, something... oh yeah, penis envy.

Ngl if they had weed ( And i mean it’s the 1700’s they thought opium wad legitimately good for you lol ) and i could access some of that advanced technology i really wouldn’t mind, definitely better than IRL where i’ll never be able to physically own a house in my lifetime.

I'm looking forward to hearing these cleaned up to modern sound standards

Wow. Btw I wonder if General Helmut von Moltke is related to the von Moltke from the 20th of July, probably yes. Anyway, their descendants might enjoy this, it's really cool.

Fascinating and revealing! Stuffs like these inspire and exhilirate.

"First recorded instance of Intelligible human speech" *Meanwhile the parents from Charlie Brown

This is part of the reason why many in the UK support the idea of the UK becoming a republic.

A true revolutionary this author was

So they build these awe inspiring structures for the world fair, just to tear them down immediately after? And you're telling me that humans couldn't have build the pyramids?

5:26 he really did sound like a bee

First recorded sound were actually opera bootlegs? History is wild

I’m in awe of this video.

people are just people, from any time

Renaming themselves was a stupid, insulting, and cowardly move.

Just play the damn audio already.
