Pleasure.

Thanks.

Well, I only started the YouTube less than a year ago.

That's crazy.

It's been a bit of a wild ride.

Yeah, it was cool.

I mean, yeah, I started just under a year ago, but no one started watching until like March.

And then I think you see me just after that point.

And it's been a bit of a big, you know, journey since then upwards.

And it's been very exciting and very happy to be here today.

Very excited to be in Austin.

And yeah, looking forward to talk about some ancient history.

Yeah, basically.

So I studied ancient history at university for four years.

And I've always been interested in history.

I've done history all the way through.

I was fascinated about history as a kid.

got to the stage of my life where it was, you know, thinking about going to university.

So I thought I'll do ancient history at university and study there for four years, graduated, all of that kind of stuff.

But there came a point during my degree where I was kind of, you know, a little bit, I didn't quite agree with the kind of high level ideas regarding the timeline of history and what we're taught about our ancient past.
