  Throwing out my recommendation for History of the Universe as well as its sibling channels. Honestly, the people behind these channels produce higher quality documentaries, both in substance and style, than 99% of the "professionally" created stuff I've watched in at least three last 5 years. https://youtube.com/@historyoftheuniverse https://youtube.com/@historyoftheuniverse https://youtube.com/@historyofhumankind https://youtube.com/@historyofhumankind https://youtube.com/@historyoftheearth https://youtube.com/@historyoftheearth
