Ancient Americas

Welcome to the Ancient Americas YouTube channel. I’m your host, Pete and together, we will explore the rich and beautiful pre-columbian history of North and South America from the initial migration of humans into the Americas, to the great empires of Mesoamerica and the Andes and everything in between. This is a history that I find endlessly fascinating but is often neglected in classrooms and misunderstood in popular media. This channel is my effort to educate you, one member of a curious public, on this period’s history and its people. If you’re tired of seeing this obscure history boiled down to aliens and giants and just want an honest approach, please subscribe to the channel. There’s a lot to learn out there!

About the creator: Pete is an average guy in the midwestern United States. He's not a professional archaeologist nor historian but he's always been fascinated by history and loves sharing what he learns.

Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people.

Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance.

Paladin - Reconstructing History

Paladin: Reconstructing History is a YouTube channel dedicated to bringing the past back to life — rebuilding historical moments, places, and events so you can experience them in a more vivid, human way.

I’ve always been fascinated by history — not just the dates and facts, but the atmosphere of it. What cities felt like. What major events looked like as they unfolded. What everyday life might have been like for the people living through it.

This is why I created the Paladin app.

While this channel focuses on visually reconstructing history, the Paladin app helps you go deeper — offering short, engaging historical experiences designed to make important figures, events, and time periods easier to understand and remember.

If you enjoy exploring reconstructed moments here on YouTube, you can continue the journey inside the app.

📱 Find Paladin: Learn History on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

History isn’t just something that happened. It’s something we can rediscover.
