Ideally covering non-roman non-military history. Thanks :)
Historia Civilis is great, he has covered plenty of Roman history, but he's also currently doing a series about post-Napoleonic Europe and has done a number of really great one-off non-rome episodes
One of my favorites: https://youtu.be/hvk_XylEmLo
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
These channels have a focus on intellectual and social history:
Al Muqaddimah Islamic history
Alki organized labor history
Art & Context art history
J. Draper UK-centric critical history
Kings and Things history of architecture and media
Land and Lore environment-related history
Let's Talk Religion obscure history of religion
NORTH 02 prehistoric and ancient
The Lore Lodge often tackles native American history
Unseen Japan obscure history of Japan
Voices of the Past historical first-hand accounts
You won't believe what has just occurred.
I read through your list and saved the ones I found interesting. I didn't save Al Muqaddimah because I am not particularly interested by the abrahamic religions. However, I was listening to the Vijayanagara episode of fallen civilizations while I smoked and it mentioned the Mughal empire so I looked up the history of the Mughal empire and clicked on a 2hr video by Al Muqaddimah about the Mughals because I figured someone with that name would know better than any of these other 15min bland looking animated history videos. I checked out his channel and noticed he did quite a lot of history videos so I came back to this post to tell you about this guy I found. Only to find him at the top of your list 😭
Maybe this isn't that crazy and I'm just high but I found it funny at least lol.
Fall Of Civilisations one of my favs because it goes into everyday life for people in these societies and he paints a really good picture.
the videos are just supplementary but would highly highly rate
The History Guy. About 80% of his videos are non-military history.
Atun-shei films, his long running series Checkmate Licolnites! is top tier. Has a couple videos about New Orleans and New England
Miniminuteman- zoomer til tok archeologist and conspiracy theory debunker
Bill Wurtz- meme videos
Edit: Cambrian Chronicles- highly specific Welsh history/myth debunking
please don't take bill wurtz videos seriously
the guy is very cool but the videos are indeed, memes. revisionism abounds, but call it artistic liberty
History Matters is good, very short and to the point videos about interesting topics
Primitive Technology
John Plant goes over how our ancestors from around the world made things by re-creating those same processes on YouTube. Right now, he's building a hut with a tiled roof and trying different furnace methods for smelting iron. You'll want to look in video descriptions and pinned comments for a full breakdown on the science + history of each video. Also be sure to turn on captions, since he doesn't talk.
Stefan Milo has a lot of really great content ranging from prehistory to antiquity.
