What is with the voice pitch levels in this video? He sounds 16 at the beginning of sentences and 35 at the end.

Hi. I'm a History teacher and I was wondering what program you used to create this video. I'm looking for a digital tool for creating timelines. The one you used seems to fit what I'm looking for. Thanks for the help.

[unreal]

Mr. Khan, is there any subject you aren't well versed with?
Holy crap dude thanks.
You are a God.

How did the Holy Roman Empire emerge in Medieval Europe?

[aneshkumar]

Who initiated this concept and what was the purpose behind it? Who was first Holy Roman Emperor? Do you think that there was a connection between Holy Roman Empire and Crusades?

[mattdavison]

Love your videos but you left out any info on the Viking incursions in Europe, the Norman invasion of England, etc..

[Arjanisrael]

Great video, thanks. Just one point, I think you said "it was not a pleasant time to live in" about three times. Considering that a few hundred million people were killed during the wars of the twentieth century, do we also have to consider the twentieth century as "not a pleasant time to live in"?

[alexandraesmond]

Brilliant! Love your videos and your voice is so calming!x

[kimberlyperrotis]

I prefer “Late Antiquity” for the period 476-800 AD.

Is there any way we can get the hands on those maps and timelines? These would be incredibly useful and time-savers for the recap.

[srijanamainali]

Please say me the most significant features of the middle age

[rosellaliu]

Is there a source for all the maps used in this video?
