Or, maybe you have. But you probably haven't? I don't know. It's Saturday.

It's so adorable to see the innocent version of Simon here, hard at work, making money to support his true passion. -Cocaine- *Business Blaze*

[ARIXANDRE]

Made by Aliens, just to see sassy Simon's eyes roll. 😂

[jaybee]

“Because, well, you guys watch them.”
Thanks Simon & Co.; nice to be appreciated!

[seanbrazell]

I love how the low frequency chant music pauses briefly for Simon to make a joke and then starts backup immediately after without missing a beat during the first segment. 🤣

Ireland has 1000s of dolmens, barrows and passage tombs dotted around the place. Most can be hiked up to easily.
I visited one 2 weeks ago in Co.Wicklow. My granddad had a passage tomb on his land.

I hiked up the ramp side of Masada (didn't know there was a cable car on the other side until we got to the top), and it was hard even without anyone throwing millstones on my head.

Borobudur appeared in Civilization 5 as a Great Wonder. That series is good for discovering parts of world history that aren't widely taught.

[Juzzy]

I feel as if Simon has so many channels because each has a unique energy level and he’ll just post to the one he’s feeling that day.

[pakde]

Borobudur may not be well known outside of Indonesia but it's a must see historical site for countless Indonesian high school senior class trips. It's considered part of the shared national heritage even though only a small part of the population practices Buddhism.

When you get used to _Business Blaze_ Simon, non _Business Blaze_ Simon feels so weirdly _subdued._





AM I RIGHT, PETER!?!

What I like about Simon compared to other creators who do list videos is he actually puts some effort into it

[RCorvinus]

“Colossal pyramids in the Valley of the Kings”? VotK is underground tombs. Pyramids are elsewhere.

[davidslattery]

Good man for covering poulnabrone! Respect from the west coast of Ireland

[davidioanhedges]

Dolmen were probably covered with soil ... and so were just chamber tombs

[PaddyWack]

I visited a Dolmen site in Ireland a few years ago. Totally amazed how they could transport such huge stones/rocks to such remote places. Great video, just discovering your new channels.

[scottnunnemaker]

What I find fascinating about ancient death rites is that it’s all about choosing how to re-enter the natural world or how to permanently separate from the natural world.

[lhmperth]

Simon, I adore you and your work, but… did you just say Egypt’s giant pyramids are in the Valley of the Kings? The former is near Cairo, the latter near Luxor. About 650km apart…

Herod was an insane architectural genius. And when I say insane, I mean insane. I think he was the guy who kept the girl he liked pickled in honey after she committed suicide rather than marry him. For rather unsavory reasons. If I'm wrong, history is my weakest subject. Matsada is the classic "Liberty or Death"!!

[ippy]

Simon content keeping me sane as per usual lol

[RachaelSA]

How could Herrod have built it in the 3rd century BC when he was only born in 20 BC which is 280 years before he was born?
