Esoterica is a Reconstructionist Jew ie atheist who likes to larp as religious for some reason. I could absolutely tell listening to his videos.
I had to look this denomination up. Reconstructionist Judiasm reads like atheism trying to convince both you and itself that it's pantheistic and failing. I can see a lot of modern, western secular Jews ascribing to this because it essentially gives them carte blanche to be as degenerate as they want under the pretense that Judaism has outgrown the need for God, but like, without forsaking the social advantages of being Jewish.
 
What do you guys think of Cambrian Chronicles? I haven't seen him mentioned on this thread. He covers Welsh history, and I'm pretty sure he is an actual historian.
Probably the history yter I hope in highest regard as his narrow focus shows his actual expertise and has actually changed my perspective on a few elements of British history. Namely with regards to what the Anglo-Saxon invasion even is, with him saying it was mostly just an elite swap in the east but just a cultural change elsewhere in his Last Celts in England video. My only criticism is that his Mad Dogs of Cambria thing is not worthwhile as his co-host on it is just the worst, unfunny, libtard, just awful.

There's no need given that you can be an atheist eat pork and curse God every day and still be considered more of a jew than a Jew who accepts Christ but keeps kosher.

The best historians are the ones who have narrow fields of focus when they foremost experts on the American Civil War who actually was responsible for one of the best documentary series on PBS on it he also had a colleague who liked doing an entire 9 hour series on prohibition back when PBS actually made high quality documentaries and not global **** schlock
 
So it seems that TIK History had a falling out with the editor for Battlestorm after the editor got off track for a passion project and did not finish the Battlestorm episode he had been paid for. Apparently the editor demanded a lot of backpay and won't send the files for it until he recieves it.

While this is from TIK and possibly biased, I do believe him. He says he is gonna do a massively simpler video without fancy editing for the next Battlestorm

This is his best video so far since he actually quotes the original source who told all the weird shit.
It's also very funny how people 2000 years ago knew stuff like lightning being faster than noise or moon causing tides and then went "yeah people on that one island use long sticks to move it".

It's honest to God my favorite thing to read on. The evolution of natural philosophy into science. You see people with limited information examining the world and coming to some silly conclusions, see how serious it was took, and eventually realize we'll be looked back on the same way.
 
I like to imagine that the Nebula CEO told him at gunpoint to make a video so they can upset all the losses attached to PhilosophyTube.

Since this thread isn't above discussing channels that deal with natural history/paleontology and I don't think he has been shilled in this thread (at least not for what I could gather) I want to show you one of my favs: The Budget Museum. This guy isn't exactly unknown but here's a sample of his most viewed, newest and my favourite video of his.
Guy seems to have a lot of attributes youse enjoy on historytubers.

This view was the new hotness but genetic archeology has more or less debunked this view, there was significant and quick genetic turnover right around when the Anglo Saxon invasions happened.
 
Can someone give me the rundown on this “Zoomer Historian” guy?
I'm super late to this but - he's a British guy who generally believes the British Empire was a net-positive on the world and that if the United Kingdom did not get involved in WW2 it would have retained its empire instead of going into rapid decline.

Which is generally understandable except the implication that WW2 was avoidable or that if it wasn't, the UK should have stayed out of it.
Those two points are what he has to defend the most. And those two points are what his haters won't let go of.

On another note, he appears sympathetic to Hitler but does not deny his war crimes.
Zoomer Historian says things implying he might be Christian, but he also says Hitler was Christian, and that's just flat out false. Look up "Positive Christianity" and the more you read the more you learn that Hitler worshipped the National State far above and ahead of God.

So if Zoomer Historian wants to be seen as objective, he ought to be willing to admit Hitler and his cohorts largely engaged in performative Christianity.
Until he does, he's standing on the blurred line between sympathetic to Hitler and aggrandizing Hitler.
Some would say, there is no line at all.
