Came here from reddit, the artwork is just simply stunning. I hope you get millions and millions of subscribers. You surely earned one from me. Good luck!

Can't believe you only have 500 subscribers. Your animation is top notch and script is thought provoking.

Sending you good vibes.

Great artwork.
I've just returned from Southern Portugal and that area also got hit by the 1755 earthquake and the tsunami that followed. It is far more than 150 km south of Lisbon, yet it too suffered huge destruction and massive loss of life.
From here on, I will no longer be referring to the "Great Lisbon Earthquake" but the "Great Portugal Earthquake".

Im a 3d artist and I must say I fell in love with you channel after watching this video, so simple yet well crafted animations and the concept of minimalism is used incredibly well by you! Hope this channel grows cause the content is definitely worth it! Keep up the amazing work!

The most scary thing about this earthquake and some shocks from the earthquake were felt throughout Europe as far as Finland and in North Africa, and according to some sources even in Greenland and the Caribbean

I was just in Lisbon a few weeks ago on vacation and had no clue about any of this until I saw someone post an image of the tsunami signs in Lisbon because of the earthquake this morning...learn something new everyday, great video!

Not-so-fun fact: The Portuguese king was so traumatised by the event that he developed acute claustrophobia that stayed with him for the rest of his life. He and much of the royal court essentially lived in a series of tents for the remaining 22 years of his reign as he had refused to live inside a walled building ever again.

Very interesting and awesome art style!

Nice one Rowey! Great animation, particularly the water

didn't expect the quick excursion into religion at the end there but it was a nice touch. really cool video.

Two things … Lisbon to this day has basically turned away from religion. The churches are not as spectacular as other European capitols and the general thinking is distinctly NOT christian. It’s fascinating.
