We need a mega projects of the basement that holds Danny.
-
Just finished this video to find out The History Guy just uploaded a video on the USS Jamestown. Never can get bored with these two channels
-
I grew up in the area and have tour Historic Jamestowne. What is really crazy is seeing the replicas of the ships that crossed the ocean. I was in the USN and it can be rough in a warship, but something under a hundred feet, hat off people hat off.
-
Excellent irony with the Magellan ad. Well done, Sir.
-
As a Brit I find it fascinating learning about American history (although this is closely intertwined with our own history, this was never taught to me in school).
-
I first read it as "The Establishment of Jonestown" and thought this is going to be REALLY interesing....maybe that could be a "side project"?
-
Might I suggest the Rideau Canal as a future MP? Built in 1826. Pre-railroad era dams and locks built through the Canadian wilderness by hard labour and Scottish stone masons. 6 years, 200km, about 1000 dead. Engineering marvel of the 19th century. It's still there. It still works to this day. The town at the furthest reach of it was declared the Capital of Canada by Queen Victoria. It remains so today. - - - Bloddy excellent work on these vids! You and your team are amazing!
-
House on the Rock in Wisconsin would make a great subject for a video. Depending on how you look at it, a Megaproject, Sideproject, or maybe on Geographics? It's a fascinating place!
-
I keep mistaking this town with psycho Jim Jones' Jonestown.
-
Do a mega project on Lake Okeechobee and the Everglades!
-
You mentioned the Massacre of 1622, but I'm bummed you didn't mention the Massacre of 1644. Around 500 settlers were killed, including my 9th great-grandparents Godfrey and Mary Ragsdale, who had come to Virginia Colony from England in 1640. Most Ragsdales in the United States are descended from their son, Godfrey Jr, who was was a baby at the time and was one of the few who was spared.

I live about 30 minutes from James town and take my family there probably 4 or 5 times in the summer. It’s really nice to walk around and just enjoy the day there. You can see the remade colonies and replicas of all three ships that you can walk around on.
-
I honestly read this as Jonestown initially... Now I'm kind of disappointed. 😅
-
Thank you for this video and the one on Geographics! I’m visiting Jamestown tomorrow and am happy to have the info needed to fully understand and appreciate the land.
-
Seen the Sky three part mini-series. Excellent You have to respect this settlement The church awarded the Americas to the Spanish and Portuguese. Yet the English carved out USA and Canada respect 🙌
-
As a descendant of Governor William Bradford of the Pilgrims, videos about the early English colonists in America fascinates me. Love it!
-
Again Disney threw out all history books when they sat down and wrote the script for Pocahontas. For example, George Percy was apparently changed into Percy, the spoiled Pug who belonged to Radcliffe. Also, the settlers were depicted as rugged men of adventure.
-
Megaproject idea - "The Incredible Life of Danny... so far!" Parts 1 to 6 Once you finally get sick of his repeated escape attempts and put him down, then it can become a Biography
-
Suggestion for video: ”Göta kanal” a canal in Sweden which goes from one side of the country to the other.(190km)
