I like the points where one era becomes another

I’ve been obsessed with the Bronze Age for a long time, but I’ve loved your videos on the Neolithic most of all. It can be hard to penetrate through the depths of time when so much of what’s known is buried in obscure papers. But your gift of storytelling and ability to synthesize everything from archaeology, to genomics, to folklore makes it come alive.

The Bronze Age and earlier is a criminally under-explored topic.

The bronze age is very important but Neolithic gets almost no attention to importance in making the world what it is

Mesolithic. Biggest chads.

The bronze age was, at least for Indo-European natives and descendants, the start of our collective culture's history. I think a lot can be gleaned about more modern history by lookong at how ot all began.

I like the end of the Neolithic, beginning of the Bronze Age. That's such a fascinating time in our history. Would love to learn more about it

Ever since I was a little girl, I was obsessed with the Iron Age and what came after. It gets my blood singing! I think it was a very productive time in history but now that I'm older, I prefer delving into the Neolithic period!

The neolithic is the most intringuing period in which humans developed radical changes that brought about the dramatic changes of the subsequent ages.

Неолитическая революция несомненно самый загадочный и интересный период истории.

Bugg£r me, it's all of them but the change from purely hunter gatherer to farming and the implications is fascinating. PS your book about the Middle Ages is a great read.

They're all good, but the Neolithic is particularly interesting to find out about their astronomical knowledge.

I used to think prehistory/later prehistory very grey and boring, but your videos have really brought it to life for me, I have watched everyone of your uploads!

I love them all, but i really love bronze age stuff. To me its sort of the the time we "woke up", even though i know earlier periods were as lucid in their own way... Im saying this badly. One era flows into the next, but i feel more related to bronze age things, i suppose.

I particularly am fascinated by late Bronze Age Europe since that’s when Europe begins taking the ethnographic shape that defines it into modern times, in a very broad sense. That being said, I’d love a vertical slice of a geographic area, covering it through all the eras holistically.

I feel like Iron age people became so powerful and skillful with so little...

Neolithic Europe is fascinating. The megalithic cultures, the spread of farming, speculating on the language gods ect. The impact of domesticated animals and large scale land manipulation.
