00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:13.080
He Hello, I am Jeff and
welcome to history. In fact, it's

2
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:18.480
about to day visited by cool media. Today's July the fifteenth. Isn't it

3
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:24.399
clear? I'm a dork for you. Dude, dude, you make me

4
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:27.480
feel like a geek. Can you
make my heart goes? Squeak, squeak,

5
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:33.759
You are the soles of my shoe. I'm a dork for you.

6
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:38.960
Yeah, it's National Be a Dork
Day. A dork is a person who

7
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:43.880
lacks social skills, has eccentric interest
in hobbies, and has bad fashion sinse.

8
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:48.159
Any guessing where the word dork came
from. Well, in eighteen hundreds,

9
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:52.320
dork was a derogatory term for pnis. You happened in the nineteen sixties,

10
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:55.560
I switched over to be a socially
awkward person with bad fashion sense.

11
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:59.399
Girls, they actually used dork more
playfully than boys. Boys used dork as

12
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:03.240
an insult. Let's be honest.
We can all be a dork from time

13
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:06.959
to time. So let's celebrate today
by not carrying what society things, being

14
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.400
confident in our own skin and doing
what we feel like. And we have

15
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:12.359

happened on July the fifteenth, seventeen forty

27
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:30.199
one? Russia Sea Captain Alexi Cherkhoff
he saw some unknown land. Yeah,

28
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:31.960
it wasn't on any charts or anything, so he sent some men on shore

29
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:35.199
to check it out and claim it
for Russia. Yeah, they're the first

30
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:39.639
Europeans to visit Alaska. Seventeen ninety
nine Napoleon soldiers who were fighting in Egypt.

31
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:43.479
They were digging in the sand trying
to find some stable land to build

32
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.840
a fort near Rosetta, Egypt.
Well, they found what is today known

33
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:50.439
as the Rosetta Stone. Now the
stone is believed to have been carved around

34
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.639
one ninety six BC. It's actually
a decree. But see what's on it

35
00:02:53.759 --> 00:03:00.479
is they wrote it on it in
ancient Egyptian hieraroglyphics, ancient egypt script,

36
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:05.000
in ancient Greek. And by seventeen
ninety nine no one could read any of

37
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:08.520
the old Egyptian hieroglyphics. No one
could read what was in the Egyptian pyramids,

38
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:12.360
the tombs, the statues, monuments, all that kind of stuff.

39
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:15.000
Yeah, no one had any idea
what they said. But now because the

40
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.919
Rosette istin now they could read them
Breton. They defeated France and a couple

41
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:22.280
of years later so they took the
Rosetta Zone back with them to London.

42
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.159
It's in the museum today. Eighteen
oh six, when Lewis and Clark were

43
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:30.759
sent to explore what was bought in
the Louisiana purchase, Jefferson told them to

44
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:34.120
go all the way west to the
Pacific Ocean. Now he had different orders

45
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:37.639
to Zebulon Pike. Pike was to
go to the Canadian border and go all

46
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.159
the way south to the Mexican border
and check out what was bought. So

47
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:45.759
him and his men left today from
Fort Belle Fontaine in Missouri. They were

48
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:50.000
to explore the Great Plains, Rocky
Mountains, Arkansas and Red Rivers, and

49
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:53.919
the Spanish settlements in New Mexico.
And it's not as famous as the Lewis

50
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:58.400
and Clark exposition, but he's got
Pike's peak eighteen fifteen. Well, we're

51
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.840
back to Napoleon was defeated the first
time and sending into exile on Alba.

52
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:04.560
He came back and then started one
hundred days war. Wow, it was

53
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:08.439
one hundred and ten days. But
he had to surrender from that today again.

54
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:11.680
And so now he's going to be
exiled to Saint Helena Island. It's

55
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:15.319
a remote island in the Southern Atlantic. He died there six years later,

56
00:04:15.720 --> 00:04:20.319

61
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:43.439

city of Arisa they passed the law sending

62
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.800
a limit on what you could pay
for a wedding eight hundred bucks. No

63
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.040
more than a iron Bucks. But
see eight hundred bucks at that time that

64
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:54.879
was the average Indians yearly salary.
Yeah, and you could only have fifty

65
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:57.560
guests. So if you went over
the intern bucks who had more than fifty

66
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:01.360
guests six years in jail. The
ninety three killer bees that officially made it
