0:10 This video completely neglects the *actual* earliest route, that of copper and tin. Copper and tin are not mined any where near each other, but the trade of these two metals is what started the bronze age worldwide. Also, the *end of the trade* of copper and tin marked the end of the bronze age (The Bronze Age Collapse) - and people searching for alternatives to bronze led to the start of the iron age.
@tonyfriendly4409 2 роки тому
It's weird to think that you had international trade on that scale in 1600 BC.
@alexjgilpin 2 роки тому
@@tonyfriendly4409 The bronze age started in the western asian/eastern european steppes around 3500BC, and the trade of copper and tin stretched from western Europe (Germany and France had tin) down to Cyprus (which had copper) and Egypt. This is also tied to the spread of the Proto-Indo-European language, which the traders would have spoken.

@justthecoolestdudeyo9446 2 роки тому
@@tonyfriendly4409 There's pretty hefty evidence that hunter-gatherers also often had trade routes that were "international" (in quotes because there aren't necessarily nation-states involved). Items are found in campsites that had to be created or obtained hundreds of miles from where they're found. So there was likely trade going way further back than agriculture!
@alexjgilpin 2 роки тому
@@berkajr3685 Thanks for the response. I wanted to speak more about it. The bronze age starting around 3500BC isn't hearsay or guessing: There's bronze age artifacts that have been discovered all around the Mediterranean that date back to that time, and the nearest place they could have gotten the tin used in that bronze would have been in western Europe. The existence of Proto-Indo-European also is not hearsay or guessing. There's too many cognates among the languages in the area to not all be related to some ancestor. Not everyone agrees on the composition of the PIE language, though. "Kurgan theory" is also not hearsay or guessing. That these steppe people, who spread out and likely spoke PIE, lived between the sources of copper and tin during the start of the bronze age is well established. The tin used in the Mediterranean had to travel through these people in order to get to where it was used to make bronze.

The guy is pretty much crediting India for having *everything everyone wanted* , but still wonders why it didn't become a unified global power. He's not being disrespectful or anything, at least in my opinion. Obviously, India was the world's biggest economy until well into the 19th century, if you take into account the fact that the British Raj was its own country and its own economy (and also encompassed more land than modern day India has, but that's almost irrelevant to the subject). Nobody is denying that. It's just amazing how much tribalism can blind us to the point that the world's largest economy would actually end up reduced to a colony because of it.

During the Hanseatic League, Estonians were forbidden to visit cities, and the Estonians themselves lived at the level of the tribal system. The Hanseatic League is trade between the main peoples of the then Europe, such as Poles, Germans and Russians. I would not say that it was the best time for Estonia, because no one took into account the opinion of local residents. And even now, however.

Rahid Hoque Alexander set out to conquer the world, that ends in the east, in India (of course, he couldn't enter India). He (nor his Guru, Aristotle) knew of the existence of China then. A few centuries later the "Yuechi" tribe became the most powerful people in central Asia. China was made to take note of them & contain them if possible. The Yuechi, led by Kanishka founded a big Empire in Central Asia, half of which extended to the banks of Yamuna River (India). Silk route to Europe, "per se", began a millennium after Alexander & was acknowledged of its existence with the great explorer/travellor, Marco Polo (1254-1324).

Feb. 3, 2023 I landed here after studying Shanxi in China and its Horse Tea Road section of the trade routes. This section connected to what is today’s Myanmar, etc. Aside from the actual hostel that’s several hundred years old and still in operation(!) the village and its environs has maintained much of what was created over the dynasties. The village also exists as a reenactment of history, eg, preparing and serving the foods that were being eaten by the traders. A mindblower: The book chain Librairie Avant Garde in Nanjing opened a fabulous modernistic bookstore nearby, with an emphasis on poetry. The flight of stairs leading to “the poetry tower” is awesome. (I’m not particularly into poetry but I was tickled by spotting a photo on the upper staircase of American poet and author Sylvia Plath. (The Bell Jar is a must read.) Had she known that her work was to be revered in today’s China, perhaps she wouldn’t have committed suicide during her failing marriage to UK poet Ted Hughes.)

Great video, India called as golden bird in ancient times and during the time of gupta empire, India's gdp had shares of 35% in total world gdp, and the fact is no one empire ever achieved this much percentage in global gdp but cuz of rich region, it attracts many invaders and india got looted over time, and now the countries of those invaders like UK, France etc and mostly whole europe calls india as a poor nation and also say that india never got rich in past, so yeah it hurts when people forgets history

Wow that was amazing! The history behind all this is so amazing, I specifying like learning about 1990-2021+ parts. I had no idea they were planning on building a train tunnel from china to the USA. The importance of china to the world is kind of scary to think of. Thanks a bunch for making these videos you are really doing a great service to the world by educating so many people.

Pliny the Elder, in 77 CE, called India “the sink of the world's gold!”
@enrico7474 2 роки тому
India in some cases referred to area streching from the horn of africa to the indian subcontinent so yeah an area that big probably has much gold North indian and axumite Ethiopian gold coins had the highest gold quantity in them even when their empires were collapsing and coin minting started to decline their coins still had more gold quantity than any roman,persian or greek coin, they were considered tokens instead of regular coins for outsiders so that assumption is perfectly explainable

gyandeep chauhan Till 1800 every diamond worn by anyone in the world came from India. In medieval times, the kingdom of Golconda (Golconda fort is now part of Hyderabad city) became the supplier & trading center for diamonds, which were surface-mined along the banks of Krishna River (in Kolluru, Paritala villages & a few more).
@SputnikRX 7 місяців тому
Diamonds were not nearly as popular as jewellery in the ancient and medieval period of Europe as they are now.
