The bottom of the ocean fascinates me
I find this stuff fascinating!!! 🙂
The creation and continued changing of the planet is amazing.
Wow God, you always amaze me ☺️
This deserves endless likes.
The visuals made it easy to follow.
I used to scuba dive in my younger days and when you wear a weight belt fairly tight at the surface, at 100+ feet, the belt will fall down over your hips, rings on your fingers will slip off your fingers from the pressure !!
Everything was clear and easy.
Love the History Channel 😊
I like how you kept it concise.
I think i am most blown away at the fact the HMS Challenger had 7 miles of twine on board. LOL....
I’ll be coming back to this video again.
That was quick and effective.
The delivery was excellent.
Sadly, in today's world, if someone isn't getting rich from it, it won't be done. Governments seem to care less about science and learning.
This is underrated.
Such positive vibes.
So much value here.
Really well put together.
The background music is perfect.
