I’ve been on the record of being skeptical of a lot of content being generated on YouTube, but I think the author Dan Davis does a really great job. The topics overlap with a lot of my interests. For example, he has videos on the Corded Ware, the Sintashta, and the koryos. Since he relies on a lot of the primary scholarship I do I can evaluate his representation and it’s all true, and all accurate. Of course, it’s video, so I recommend you read the primary sources at some point. But Davis’ 15-30 minute videos are a reasonable length and relatively well-produced, so an excellent introduction.Davis is the author of two novels about the early Indo-Europeans, Godborn and Thunderer. You can also get the prequel novel free on his website.
Thanks for the tip! I’m always on the look-out for new educational/edutainment Youtubers to follow.
I really enjoy his stuff. Even though I might’ve read the papers previously, the way he coalesces and explains it, makes it more real.
