- robmerki 4y agoThrilled to see some love for History for Granite. That and Ancient Architects are fantastic if you’re a specific type of history nerd.
- timschmidt 4y agoAnother vote for History for Granite. Another great one is Scientists Against Myths (https://www.youtube.com/@ScientistsAgainstMyths https://www.youtube.com/@ScientistsAgainstMyths) where they spend months of laborious effort to recreate ancient stone cutting methods.
