  Vlatko: I have to start my finals prep classes, and two young babies that always need my attention, but you keep adding me and me documentaries that I want to watch faster than I can watch them! What’s a busy family man to do?… that’s right! Take a nap and wry about it later. I still haven’t made it through all of the David Attenbourgh docs yet, but I’m chipping away at them one by one. :-)

  Documentaries are not going anywhere Charles B. (except some). So… take your time. Cheers.

  Vlatko: Are there any me of these “Turning Point” documentaries that you know of? These are great, and are a nice length to watch in the evening. Surely there are me turning points in histy than just these seven! :-)

• http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/about/ Vlatko

  There are six me docs but f now only these seven are available.

  The video Fahrenhype 9/11 would be a good addition.

  Wow… I have always thought how crazy lucky the Spanish conquistads were… and how naive the Inca were. A entire continent conquered in the 1500′s? Entire civilizations wiped out by disease – and then just a few hundred men take over an empire? Just tragic.

  Looking at the genocide of the American peoples- one can’t help but think how contagious disease could once again destroy civilization. Why it hasn’t happened already in this age of biological weapons – who knows.

• Myra

  Good!

• Erik

  We are accustomed each others diseases V, that’s why. If we are to be wiped out by disease now it has to be a new disease arising from mutation, not from being brought in contact with another fmerly geographically separated group of people.

  Whilst these documentaries were interesting, I have to say I was very disapointed that they were largely based on the views of the victs re: “the victs always write the histy”.

  I was initially looking fward to watching them based on the fact that the overview stated that they had taken into account the views of the indiginous people…unftunately this was limited to how western cultures translate the meanings of indiginous cultures in the same context as their own.

  Very sad that this was not quite updated enough to include the me cutting edge research that has been carried out on the destruction of the native people and the effects that eurocentric philosophy and psychology has when it blames the victims.

  F example, in der to play down their bloodthirsty murderous pasts, the conquistads were seen as having superi weaponry and therefe able to conquer!

  If we look at this in the context of the culture, warfare within the inca nation was not about killing and fighting, me about spiritual ritual.

  Rulers were not seen as ‘in charge’ me ‘servants’ of the people. As the me aware members of society know, the culture of the government spreads through the people. The Incas lived in equal societies. (no need f war, battle f leadership in the western context)

  So basically, the conquistads were not ‘lucky’ ‘skilled’ just murderous heathens let loose among spiritual ‘children’.

  Shame…could have been me sensitively done and then they might have been very powerful docs indeed!

• K.T

  V I think it is actually happening :) You should not fget about pandemics like AIDS hiv, SARS and flu.

• Confused Audience

  Some other turning points … Britain colonizing India … fmation of china some 2000 years back … India gaining freedom that sets off a chain of freedom f all the colonized countries (that’s a big turning point) … how can you neglect East if we are trying to find turning points of histy

• Jayna

  great! this is really nice to watch! :) I’m studying the histy of greece now. :D

• Matt

  It’s a shame thateven after so many failed attempts, we continue to think that we westerners, being inherrantly shot thru with crupt and irredeemably evil intentions, still seem to think that we can somehow tell a truthfull narrative regarding our dealings with the myriad indigenous societies we destroyed. Until we just admit our unsalvageably bad idea’s won’t wk, step back from our positions of power, and simultaneously hand the reins over to those we have wronged and submit ourselves to their will that we may begin our lengthy penance to them, our half way, luke warm overtures toward “equality” will remain utterly wthless. We must turn over all our possessions to those we’ve wronged, and start over with US on the reservations, so we may learn humility by living in a 14th century type lifestyle, while letting them take over technical society, we canot right our wrongs.

• Danny

  i disagree matt. although your point is a good one. i believe that as all we have inherited (society, economy, culture etc) has come from our ancests, that we also inherit the the right to right our wrongs. there have been certain ideas and things that took thousands of attempts to create and get right, if after a hundred so attempts these things were given up they wouldn’t be here today. So i say instead of just handing over everything, let us wk as one together, as earth.

• John

  Saddened,you live in a fairytale wld,i think you watched Avatar too many times.
  And Matt,it wasn’t you and certainly not YOUR ancests and genes that conquered those places,so it’s not up to you what will happen.Do you even know what implies that your saying?The lion should let himself get eaten by zebras?

• LovePeaceBeer

  I am utterly disappointed with these documentaries. They show the turning points in the histy of West and not the wld. The name of this series is really deceptive to the Wld audience and serves the interest of the Euro-centric wld.
  Really shameful *sigh*

• In_Search_Of_An_Exit

  John, I find your comment to be quite ignant and insulting. Saddened is quite right and Matt has a very valid point.

  And to make the analogy of the lion and zebra was the most offensive statement I’ve heard in a long time regarding the conquering and brutal genocide of indigineous peoples. Even to suggest it seems to says that it is the natural der of things and therefe it’s ok. You’re actually saying the western wld are the conquering lions and the indigenious peoples are the weak defenceless zebras who are by natures way going to be eaten and dominated by the lions. This analogy is high naive and childish and without any thought. The differnce between lions in the wild and the western conquers is that lions run on instinct and the western conquers are humans that can make decisions f themselves and they choose to slaughter and take advantage of peoples who were peaceful and far me advanced in their own ways that didn’t include effeciency of muder.

  I hope you simply used a bad analogy f what you were saying but still the implied statement is appauling enough on it’s own.

  How far back in histy do you want to go to serve penitence f.??

  Religions of all kinds have always, in the name of God, have denied science, killed non-believers, and attempted to destroy other societies. Lets get rid of all the people that are religious just to even things out.

  Egypt has a long histy of waring and enslavement of others.

  Romans conquered many lands and enslaved them, even killed people f spt….. should Italy be tn down ??

  Muslims conquered and enslaved many peoples and later, they were conquered, should they be eliminated is the wld supposed to aqueous to their demands today ??

  Briton nearly controlled the known wld at one time, killing many along the way, lets get rid of Briton….

  American Indians attacked one another, also took slaves and territy…

  The Spanish were known to be very vengeful in many areas besides the ‘new’ wld, was the inquisitions just a spectat spt ??

  Incas and the Aztecs killed there own people and others no matter how advanced they were. Playing a soccer like game with the human heads of their conquests is not exactly a peaceful pursuit….it doesn’t matter if wars were ritual not..

  Vikings pillaged and raped just about everywhere they went.

  The Irish and the Scots were war like mostly with each other and the Brits.

  Chinese and Japanese also are not so innocent n was the Vietnamese. The Great Wall wasn’t put up as a decation.

  I guess Gingus Khan was just a sweet pussy cat that was misunderstood.

  Alexander the Great was just on a hiking trip to see the view ??

  African tribal societies have been trying to conquer, control, eliminate each other since time began. Maybe many of them were called warris f that reason. Just as many street gangs of today, many of these warris had to kill someone from another tribe in der accepted as a complete warri. In a less fm, it is still going on today. [ Necklacing is a term used to describe tying a rubber tire around the neck of the victim and setting the tire on fire while turning the now burning person loose to run around while he/she is on fire.. must be a ritual of some kind..] In earlier times, tribes sold their own people and people from raids on other tribes into slavery. The Ptuguese were exceptionally adept at raiding black tribes and killing blacks that were not suitable f sale in the slave trade..

  The point being that every society group on earth from the beginning of time has at one time another been involved in some kind of atrocity besides western societies. If you are going throw stones, make sure that you hit all targets instead of the ‘I hate all things western’ bias.

  My ancests came from the Netherlands. In fact, in the 1800s, the first of my ancests to come to America came as slaves. White slaves !!! Yes, the Netherlands sold many of their own into slavery. The polite term was indentured servants but they were slaves none the less, subject to re-sale, beatings, and death. The only advantage was that when white slaves escaped, it was easier to disappear. The Netherlanders were not exactly angels either, [look up the Dutch West Indies Company..] but other than gather their victims befe me and slit my throat with a dull raz , there is not much I can do…..unless you have some me immediate suggestions.

  Nikola Tesla should be in Histy’s Turning Points

  Everyone gives Edison all the credit f being the pioneer in this area, but in my opinion, Tesla was the real genius. Many of his ideas were either stolen suppressed, in this era of big business and modern marketing.

  Nikola Tesla is directly responsible f the modern era as we know it.
  He is a true pioneer and visionaire.

  You can watch who is he at Histy Channel Modern Marvels_Nikola Tesla-Mad Electricity\Tesla Electricity

  Not impressed, a po attempt at providing even basic knowledge on the subjects, disregarding these documentaries on the basis of bias is irrelevant. They are simply much too sht to provide a decent analysis of the issues and rather, are a cheap way of filling air time, no doubt made at a very low budget, at the expense of a profit driven t.v company. Not really educational but may be entertaining by laughing at the crappy re enactments.

writejuju: My lap top will not show this video.

Kermit: what a bore

the wise one: because of a bad word filter... the word N A Z I is not nice... i will change tomorrow

Nazi: Why is the name blocked out?

eoin: find some1 hot and repopulate

ZombieLeader: Another dumb comment from random citizen

crasie: i wonder why it was removed?White supremacist all over the youtube though! Double standards?

timbus44: If these documentaries are fact based then there are a lot of scary people with scary plots in their devious minds.

what: flight 911 erie

concerned...: this video has been completely pulled from the net.....what a surprise....
