Why Can't Anyone Find This Mysterious Country?

Gregor McGregor has lots of descendants who live in Nigeria. All of them are Princes.

This guy was so duplicitous, he conned people and still managed to be buried as a war hero in Venezuela!

I've always considered myself a pretty well-read person when it comes to history. Your channel has proved that I am absolutely not. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into these awesome videos

Gregor McGregor, the 1st man to sell an NFT!!! What a legend!

wow how is this even possible, i love the old world!

As Venezuelan, it's nice to see the roots of our long honored tradition of condecorating scammers. Pretty impressive scam, tho ngl

It’s so sad what he did to those people. Imagine stepping off the ship and all your hope for a new life deflates in front of your eyes.

This guy is one of the most impressive scammers I've ever heard about. Scammers these days don't need to do much to scam people into buying their NFT's or worthless cryptocurrency.

That was undeniably one of the most fascinating stories I have ever heard. And to believe that it is true! Thank you Sir. You are truly an amazing storyteller. 🙏🙏🙏

Man, you make on of the most informative, and intriguing videos. Keep going!

I'm obsessed with how you can provide great knowledge and make PP jokes at the same time peak performance

Man, what a scamer. He promised them a Utopia but gave them useless dirt just like the modern day polititians.

The first financial collapse of the nature described was actually in (if I remember the date correctly) 17th century Netherlands. The tulip bulb disaster (not the actual name of it, but the subject matter). For some reason, selling shares (or stocks - I don't know the difference) in tulips had taken off to the point where once poor people were able to buy mansions on the strength of what were, essentially, worthless promissory notes. Until, that is, someone actually questioned the whole affair, and virtually overnight, the stock market crashed. It's a fascinating story, one definitely worth looking into!

Wow...I LOVE your channel! Just when you thought you've heard it all, one must only come here to find new and amazing stories mostly lost to time. Great work, keep it up!

Recently found your channel Aaran - not only is it so well researched and written, it is entertaining, informative and thoroughly enjoyable. Love the variety of topics covered too - I’m learning something new (well, more than one thing!) with every video I watch. Think this channel should be on every school syllabus and you deserve to be on a prime time spot on national TV. Brilliant. Thanks

Pretty sure I've learnt more from Thoughty2 in an hour of binge watching than I have in the past week on revising for exams

Hey, Thoughty2! I just wanted to say that I have been a fan of your channel since Your channel started during YouTube's heyday. I really appreciate the amount of effort, work, and research that you do in your videos. I've been a subscriber for years and you're still my favorite!

I'm from Honduras and had heard of British settlers landing on the Mosquitoe Coast by mistake, but didn't know the whole story.

I love stories like this..... the whole way through shaking my head that the upper classes that are so poorly educated with their paid for diplomas that they fall for this type of sh*t every time! It's also the same thing that chills me to the bone knowing the same stupid runs the government!

I have watched so many of your videos and i honestly love all of them, please continue to work hard like this and give a example of what a good video looks like to all the people who don't bother with their content.
