These people were treated by Chinese the same way Romans treated Celts. The parallels are very weird - both were amazing blacksmiths, divided into hundreds and thousands of different clans and tribes with varying language differences. Celts were amazing horsemen while Nanman were great sailors. Both got assimilated by those who considered them barbarians. Amazing.

I love this channel's obscure topics. I'd never heard of 90% of this stuff till you guys came along

They’re legacy reminds me a lot of the Gauls of Europe. A lot of information about them comes from records written by other cultures who considered them “barbarians,” but they in fact were extremely diverse and had a sophisticated culture. They were eventually conquered and assimilated by a powerful neighbor, but still live on in surprising places.

Cantonese here. An absolute MASTERPIECE. I prostrate to your scholarship & production skills. I've never seen such a detailed English summary of Nanman & Baiyue. Only 1 thing, it's Meng Huo not Hou!

Speaking as a Northern Thai;(albeit of Han Chinese descent) I went to Yunnan on vacation and visited a town dominated by the Dai people.(Xishuangbanna in mandarin) Their cultures and traditions were exactly the same as at home, even the food, and the local dialect.

Brilliantly done. Especially the visuals and the art. And amazing research on your behalf mate. Cheers! Looking forward for more ❤️

This episode is exceptionally well written, the chronology, the names, the convergence of various countries/people's origins, the maps, everything is top quality, highly educational and very entertaining nevertheless. I've watched many episodes on this channel, they are all pretty good, but this one stand out by a far margin ahead, IMO. THANK YOU.

Fun fact: The diplomat Han Wudi sent to Nan Yue was a former lover of the Nan Yue Queen Dowager. They rekindled their old flame and were slaughtered by the Nan Yue court. That gave Wudi the pretext to invade.

Im Maori and I wholeheartedly believe that some of my ancestors came from somewhere near the South China Sea. It's no coincidence that our language is exactly the same or has similar words to our Asian counterparts.

Thanks so much for this overview of ancient Chinese history, it really helps broaden my perspective.

The Malays still used that palm wood armor during Portuguese occupation in the Peninsula. We call the wood Kayu Nibong. it is super hard, even the British said this in their records that an 18 century rifle bullet cannot penetrate it. That is why most fort that was build by Indonesian and Malaysian and also khmer used Nibong wood as palisade.

The art in this video is breath taking. I don't know how you do it.

What a fascinating video. Kings and Generals may just be the most interesting channel on all of Youtube.
-
Long time podcast and youtube lurker. I must say, thank you K&G for providing consistent and thought-provoking content. Keep up the good work!
-
I am stunned by the level of detail you managed to assemble. I can remember a snippet of history from a recent Vietnamese worker at my job. It was fascinating then and even more so forty years later.

This might just be the information i've been looking for for years
