A fun way to learn a little bit of history!

So, I'm a total history nerd and came across this youtube channel that teaches a bit of world history set to modern music. Enjoy!

The Crusades set to Billy Idol's "Eyes without a Face."

Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

    If we'd had similar fun ways to learn history I might have learned a lot more history when I was a kid. Good movies based on historical fact work well also.... if they're accurate!
