All Of Human History In One Hour

Nothng > nothing > nothing > guy builds hut > space travel.

Kurzgesagt: Okay so we're going to make an hour long video that's mostly AFK but with intermittent commentary
Steve; the narrator: Nice, sounds easy
Animators: Okay >_<
Epic Mountain: X_X

Huge shout-out to the OST in this video

truly wild with this kind of perspective JUST HOW FAST we accelerated from "barely creating civilizations" to "modern world as we know it". That slingshot is INSANE

I love these "History in an Hour" videos. Please please please put the ads at the beginning or the end and NOT in the middle because it messes with the immersion and flow which is the whole reason these videos are so fun and fascinating.

Alright. We’ve done Earth’s History. We just got Human History as a whole. We need to complete the trilogy. All of modern human history in an hour, beginning with of course, year 0 of the Human Era Calandar, sponsored by Kurzgesagt!

If the time ratios of this video and the "history of earth in 1 hour" video were swapped, this video would be 0.04 seconds long, and the other video would last 1,041 days (2.85 years)

It's crazy how there's basically nothing going on for an hour and then they start building these crazy structures in the last few seconds. It's so gratifying to live in this exact exponential moment of humanity. We might be the people who will experience the biggest advancements in human history (at least for the first stage of that)

It's actually kind of freaky to think about how the vast majority of human history happened before we even developed civilization. Countless generations of humans who lived and died in a world so foreign to us now.

after almost an hour of zoning out, man that last 10,000 years went by fast

I can't wait for the 3rd of these videos: "The Last Millennium In 1 Hour"

And just like that, without a warning, absolutely free, we've got another 1 hour long masterpiece. Kurzgesagt team is something special, we must preserve them at all cost!

can't wait for the 9th of these videos : "The Last Hour In One Hour"

I wish there was a population counter on screen. At some points throughout this there were some very tight bottlenecks! Great video

It took me approximately 79,650 years to clean the dishes

The fact that the whole of my existence, all the ups and downs, was less than 1 second of this video is nothing short of humbling.

We really just went from hunter-gatherers to modern day in a span of 5 minutes...

The fact that all of this is 0.3 seconds in the other video is insane

Respect for the cameraman for just walking by for 200,000 years
