Well, it's been quite a year on the channel! A lot of videos, a lot of research, a bit of mishigas here and there...I'd like to think I contributed a bit to your understanding of history during 2024. Thanks so much for watching. Happy New Year and best wishes for 2025!

I've moved! Thus the study and the background for my videos has changed. But it's still about learning history, heavy on the context. New deep dive video is coming tomorrow! And if you haven't seen it, there's a members section brand new on the channel. Hope to see you there! Link: youtube.com/channel/UCJPiFZP2Exfienos5SfskjA/join

Some of you may know that I'm also an author! My new novel "The Gangster Crown" comes out on Kindle on December 17. If you're interested in getting it, please preorder. The more preorders there are, the higher the books ranking will be when it debuts. This is a classic gangster rise-and-fall story, with some twists! Set in the 1990s, it's full of nostalgia. It's only $3 on Kindle, and if you don't have a Kindle it will be available in paperback soon. Here's the link: www.amazon.com/dp/B0DPJF8HZX

I'm moving this weekend! So the office backdrop you've seen many times in my videos is no more. I am working on a new deep dive video, but when you see it the surroundings will look different. Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving! Take care and see you soon. 🙏📚🦃

The launch of my online class about September 11 is complete now and it went very well! Thanks to all who watched the associated videos and got something from them, even if you aren't able to take the class. There are still seats available, go to seanmunger.com/opt-in-page-origins-of-911 . I'm back to working on a long form deep dive for this channel, so look for that in upcoming weeks. Thanks for all the support!

Following my post yesterday, some of you asked me for an update on how my 7th grade classes did in the game we played trying to avert the sack of Rome to the Visigoths in 410. In answer I give you this famous painting from Thomas Cole's 1836 "Course of Empire" series. 😏 They didn't save Rome but they gave it a good go! One of the two classes overthrew the Emperor Honorius, which made for an interesting afternoon. Teaching history can be fun and it's great to see kids taking an interest in the past.

Some eagle eyed viewers have noticed and questioned the tea tin marked "VISIGOTHS" that's often visible on the shelf behind me in my videos. Most of the time it contains paperclips, but once a year it becomes a prop during a historical game I have my 7th graders play. They play officials in the Western Roman Empire trying to decide how to hold the empire together while Rome itself is under threat of invasion in the year 410. In our game the tin holds an unknown (to them) number of armies from a Risk board game. Can they muster enough troops to save Rome? We play the game in tomorrow's class!
