@WhyGodby

Its been 2 years i need part 2 ive been on the edge of my seat forever now

@griffinhunt2692

This is still my favorite out of all videos/podcasts you’ve made. Would love if you finished the series one day

@FroggyDews

I Just want to acknowledge the fact that he makes these very indepth, fact checked, and scholarly video essay's for FREE. 
The time and effort of writing, producing and editing these hour long videos just for his love for history is truly admirable.
Awesome content my man, keep up the amazing and wonderful work! 👍

@milagroman75

...and then what happened?! We want Kong 2!!! Man this was so interesting. We can thank you, and the extensive journaling. Maybe I missed it, but how was Park’s journal recovered? You and your sources know so much detail about the nuances of his journey

@MortalWombat1988

This mans voice is like historic chocolate directly infused into my brain

@ByronGiant

If you ever start another channel specifically about ancient hand to hand combat, please call it The Fistocrat.

@Embracehistoria

Those are some beautiful maps of Africa.

@dickleyr.wriggle1084

Just discovered your channel, and I'm in love. Quickly stumbled upon this video and was enthralled... then the MOMENT you get to the mountains of Kong... cliffhanger. It's been two years since this uploaded, and you're still gaining fans who are begging for a part 2!

I say all that with love and appreciation. Work like this takes time, and I absolutely respect that. Please just look at that as a testament to your writing, research, and presentation. It's very good, I just can't wait for more!

@dhindaravrel8712

I love the idea of cross-channel voice acting here. I recognised some of the voices and was happy to find them mentioned in the description. :)

@zenolachance1181

Excellent, just excellent, the quality of your videos is exceptional

@timothyhilditch

Brilliant, what a cliff-hanger. Looking forward to the next part.

@TheSMEAC

Part II? I really think this is worth bringing in for the landing.  Thank you for your content and all the work you put into it. 👍

@qboxer

Obviously haven't watched yet, but your videos heretofore have been excellent. West Africa is a fascinating topic and I think we could do with a bit more understanding of the area. 

Thank you! And also, I quite appreciate the sources you post

@VasKyah

Always love seeing you pop up in my notifications.

@zebedeetotty

You know it's good when you instantly want part 2

@juliejanesmith57

Well this is not the man I expected behind “The Voice”. Handsome man 😉, just surprising.

@pavelandreev4727

I've been watching this channel for years, in fact from the first release of the Bronze age collapse video, and it's only getting better! Keep it up, Charles! Much love from Bulgaria, if you ever find yourself here, beer is on me!

@SymptomoftheTimes

Thanks!

@Cokecanninja

Will there be a part 2? I'm very curious about what happens next!
