just look at california

he also mentioned rivers for trade

And europe just had the best ones

the winter has a habit of FORCING People to think ahead

or freeze to death

and political division caused by geography, creating a competitive environment for military advantage

but in the warmer climates? you don't HAVE to 'think'

which actually includes things like dutch economics

So its almost as if the retard has cherrypicked one thing and made an entire debunk video

yes, another thing is climates like egypt were very consistent

yup

so the most brilliant thing they did was build giant tombs

or palaces which were cool (temp) until the pharoh died

the atlantic is the most storm racked ocean in the world isn't it?

then made it a tomb

so the toughest ships were built for the atlantic

therefore, they'd be good enough for sailing everywhere else as well

the atlantic being unpredcitable and chaotic

Southern ocean is the worst

yeah, more temp variations in the Atlantic. thermal layers make for bad storms

southern atlantic?

except atlantic nations didnt rally build ships

to use in the atlantic

portugal?

spain?

britain?

even the british just sailed along the coast for a while

they did once there was reason to

the ones with a COASTLINE did

thats all like late 1400s

the others are land locked

they only sailed on the coast and in the mediterranean

by the 1600s, they were sailing across the atlantic i believe

none of them sailed across it

by the 1400s

dude

why would they?

what about sailing to islands

who is there to fight elsewhere?

1492 columbus sailed the ocean blue

but people had lived on those coasts for thousands of years
