That was my reaction. I switched to Youtube watching quite some time ago. It’s the Discovery Channel and the History Channel the way they were meant to be. It’s endlessly fascinating and unlike the basic cable networks of old, the creators do not hesitate to really get down into the weeds.
Yeah, agriculturalists were just a big treasure box for nomads. They had zero compassion for anyone who wasn’t a member of their tribe.
At least, until the farmers got their shit together and started building armies with metal weapons and armor. Then they wrecked the nomads’ shit permanently.
Historically the nomads would raid the farmers and carry off their women and have a good laugh about it. The farmers got angry and got to work. A decade later an army armed with metal armor and weapons marched forth and absolutely wrecked the nomads shit. Today, nomads are total losers who occupy the worst land on the planet. Who’s laughing now, Chad?
