The Mughal Empire was a Muslim kingdom that spread out of the southern area of today's Uzbekistan in the early 1500s. Within a relatively short time, the Mughals, under their first emperor, Babur, had expanded to include presentday Afghanistan, Kashmir, and most of modern Pakistan, as well as the area around the Indian city of Delhi down the Ganges River to the border of what is now Bangladesh. Over the next one hundred and eighty years, the empire grew to encompass most of the Indian subcontinent except the far south, and much of modern Pakistan and Bangladesh. Its three greatest conquerors were Babur (who reigned from 152630), Akbar (from 15561605) and Aurangzeb (r. 16581707). However most people today (especially outside of India) recall only the emperor Shihab alDin Muhammad Khurram, better known as Shah Jahan (“Ruler of the World”), who reigned from 16281658, and who is best known for having built the worldfamous Taj Mahal, the elaborate tomb for his wife, Mumtaz Mahal, and which gathers an incredible sixtymillion visitors each year!So, what were the punishments during the Mughal Empire? Something quite painful, you can be assured. Lets find out more in our video.

Traditional, or perhaps more precisely previous, hypothesis has the appearance of modern humans, Homo sapiens, at around 200,000 years ago in the eastern part of Africa, plus or minus 50,000 years. However discoveries have muddied the already stygian depths on this topic, and we might have H. Sapiens ancestors much older, and more widespread, than that. That was until specimens showed up in Jebel Irhoud, Morocco that suggested a very early form of Homo sapiens was present. We say early form of Homo sapiens but the fossils, and similar ones in Florisbad, South Africa, aren’t universally considered to be modern humans. Rather they are that halfstep away, showing some signs of full modernity, but not all. And these fossils are some 350,000 years old, which almost doubles the age of the previous oldest fossils. This hominin would have probably interbred with the archaic human species already present, whether that was Neanderthals or other species. #neanderthals #homosapiens#history#humanancestors #homoerectus #humanevolution #weirdhistory #evolution Scriptwriter: Marco PardoVoiceover Artist: Stephen Lewis: stephenvox.comSources: https://shrib.com/#CoquiFrancolin25pwxedMusic: Motionarray.com DISCLAIMER: All materials in these videos are used for entertainment purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

The Ottoman Empire began in the 13th century with Osman the 1st. Gaining land and power the Ottomans, named after Osman via anglicization and some language hopping, would soon conquer the ancient city of Constantinople. This would bring about an influx of Greek and Roman culture that was the backbone of the Byzantines. The Ottoman Empire reached far and wide, and it was reflected everywhere in the empire, even the Imperial Harem. The harems of the Ottoman Empire. A subject that while evoking images of scantily dressed nubile young women, also deals with power, prestige, war, tradition, and ultimately the fate of an empire. Historical records from the west from the time of the Ottomans are skewed and biased, often inaccurate as few Europeans ever had firsthand experience with the Sultan’s harem. Actually, that isn’t quite true, there was any number of Europeans, Africans, and Eurasians that were very involved with the Imperial Harem, although rarely was this a willing and mutually beneficial arrangement. The Ottoman Empire was a very inclusive, yet traditional, place. #ottoman #harem#history #ottomanempire #weirdhistory #simplehistoryScriptwriter: Marco PardoVoiceover Artist: Stephen Lewis: stephenvox.comMusic: Motionarray.com Sources: https://shrib.com/#Elliott5aNWpAkDISCLAIMER: All materials in these videos are used for entertainment purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

The Bengal famine of 1943 serves as an example of one of the worst and most fatal atrocities in Modern History. It is also the only famine in India that is recognised to be caused by manmade factors; greed, complacency, and even racism all played a role. It claimed the lives of 24 million Bengalis. It reduced the appearance of otherwise healthy men, women, and children to skeletons. Like life, History is complicated. History merely seeks to record life, so it must be. History tells us that its celebrated figures can be capable of both immense bravery but also shocking inhumanity. The story of the Bengal famine drives this concept home, forcing us to reexamine past beliefs and arrive at more nuanced conclusions about such figures. Join us, as we uncover this extremely tragic and difficult history. #bengalfamine #history #historychannel #weirdhistory #bengalfaminechurchhill #winstonchurchill Scriptwriter: Finn Vijayakar (BA History, University of Bristol)Voiceover Artist: Chris RedishTimecode:00:00 Start01:05 The British policy of denial05:27 The Role of Churchill:07:56 Food hoarding 09:35 Is the 1945 Bengal Famine Commission a trustworthy historical source?10:19 ConclusionMusic: Motionarray.com DISCLAIMER: All materials in these videos are used for entertainment purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

Back in the fourteenth century, Mansa Musa was the ruler of a West African Empire and was said to be worth more than double that: around 400 billion dollars by today’s money, accounting for inflation. Such wealth is often hard to imagine, so for context, this figure is the same as the national gross domestic product of Norway. Musa was so wealthy that his lavish gifting crashed a regional gold market for a decade, and quite literally put him and his empire on the map. Much of Musa’s early life are lost to history, but what we do know is that he was born around 1280 AD in or around the Mali Empire, and ascended the throne around 1312. Lets find out more about how his bizarre life as history's richest man! #mansamusa #history #weirdhistory #historychannel #maliempire DISCLAIMER: All materials in these videos are used for entertainment purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

Holodomor can be literally translated to “death by hunger”. It’s a horrifying fate that between 7 and 10 million people suffered in Ukraine between 1932 and 1933 thanks to the Soviet Union’s harsh grain quotas and Joseph Stalin’s underlying desire to totally subdue the Ukrainian population. In recent years, with further evaluation of Joseph Stalin’s methods in Ukraine that led to this mass famine, historians have been forced to reconsider and reassess what happened in 19321933, with many now renaming the Holodomor as nothing shorter than one of the worst manmade famines.Before joining the Soviet Union in 1922, Ukraine was its own, independent, thriving nation. This was in no small part due to their flourishing agriculture, with lands full of fertile soil, ripe for farming. The crops produced in Ukraine became so well known that after joining, it became known as the Soviet Union’s breadbasket. Joseph Stalin, head of the new Soviet Union, wanted to ensure he had Ukraine under his complete control. And so, he introduced a FiveYear Plan in 1928, part of which included what was called the ‘Collectivization of Agriculture’ that was meant to meet the needs of the rapidly expanding urban population.

Neanderthals, or Homo neanderthalensis, are possibly our most famous ancestors. They walked, talked, fought, loved, and suffered just like us. Modern humans shared so much with Neanderthals. Their homes, ranges, hunting grounds, and even their cemeteries were left, or ceded, to us over Europe, Asia, and some parts of Africa. When we discovered the Neanderthal’s disappearance from the fossil record tens of thousands of years ago we blamed climate change, the disappearance of megafauna, and competition from modern humans. The meeting between the two species was anything but short, but what actually happened when the latest branches of our family met so long ago? And what recent discoveries changed how we understand our meeting?#neanderthals #evolution #history #paleontologyScriptwriter: Marco PardoVoiceover Artist: CiaronMusic: Motionarray.com Sources: https://anotepad.com/notes/bi693aq9Timecode:00:00 Start01:36 A Multimillennia Matchup03:50 Meeting of the Minds07:19 Forgotten FarewellsDISCLAIMER: All materials in these videos are used for entertainment purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

The horrors and tragedy of World War II are years before most of us were born, and even though the destruction of the war and the aftermath of it set the stage for major events even now some 8 decades later, many people don’t understand how the echoes of the war haunted the world for lifetimes. The scars left by World War II, emotional and physical, took many long years to fade. Some wounds never healed, and some of those who committed acts bloody and dark never faced judgement for their crimes. Escaped, hidden by distance, time, and help from unexpected places these men were wanted for crimes of war beyond scope. When the war ended in Europe there were many members of Nazi Germany and the Axis Powers that were to be tried for their actions during and before the war. Many of those people escaped arrest or even confinement with the help of “ratlines”, a series of escape routes for Nazis and Fascists after WWII. Often these ratlines led to South America. #nazis #history #holocaust #weirdhistory #historychannel #historydocumentaries #nazi DISCLAIMER: All materials in these videos are used for entertainment purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

Civilizations such as the Greek, Egyptians, Romans, Vikings and Chinese dynasties amongst others had slaves who largely slotted into one of four categories: chattel, bonded, forced labour etc. As long as we have written records of humanity, we have evidence of slavery. From ancient civilizations to modernday, humans have always subjugated and enslaved one another. Whether it's because of the colour of our skin, our wealth, where we were born or simply due to who’s in charge, there have been instances of slavery across every single country and culture.Today we shall discuss a brief time line of slavery in chapter 2 of the A Brief History Of The Origins Of Slavery. In this video we shall look at how different era's and nations held and treated their slaves. We shall also look into the horrifying aspects of slavery including the transatlantic slave trade.#slavery #history #transatlanticslavetrade #ottomanslaveiceland #whiteslaves #ottomanslavetradeScriptwriter: Natasha Martellhttps://7strangethings.com/Voiceover Artist: Stephen Lewis: stephenvox.comMusic: Motionarray.com Timecode:00:00 Start 01:09 The Ancient World01:30 Chattel slavery02:27 Bonded slavery03:15 Forced labour04:04 One of the worst kinds of slavery05:16 The FirstEver Abolition of Slavery 06:06 Slavery In The Middle Ages And Beyond09:23 The Transatlantic Slave Trade11:22 Global Slavery AbolishmentCopyright © 2021 A Day In History.

The Americans have long been thought to be the latecomers to the habituation of modern humans. But what if that wasn’t true, and humans were in North and South America tens of thousands of years before we thought they were. What kind of lives did they lead, where did they come from, where did they go, why aren’t they still here? These are huge questions and maybe we will find some answers as we trace history back as far as we can go. About 13 thousand years ago in the fossil record, there appears a series of archaeological evidence pointing toward a culture that existed in North America, Central America, and even into South America. This culture was largely identified due to the type of spearhead point used in hunting, this specific type of spearhead became known as a Clovis Point, named for a town near the initial discovery. First found in the 1930’s, the Clovis became the prevalent contenders for the first humans to come to the Americas. It was thought that before the Clovis there were no humans, or any previous branch of our evolutionary tree, on either the North or South American continents. This theory became so popular it was thought fact, and became eventually known as the Clovisfirst hypothesis. #clovisfirst #ancienthumans #history #grahamhancock #firsthumans #iceage #clovisfirstdebunkedScriptwriter: Marco PardoVoiceover Artist: Stephen Lewis: stephenvox.comMusic: Motionarray.com Sources: https://shrib.com/#Jad7ppm4EATimecode:00:00 Intro01:04 The Clovis First Hypothesis02:16 The Clovis Conundrum 03:56 The Plausible05:46 The “Are You Sure About That?”Copyright © 2021 A Day In History.
