Geology and ancient history both are soothing to me [View all]

There are geology videos on YouTube. I like Shawn Willsey and Myron Cook. They discuss formations and how they might have been created over millions of years. The videos I enjoy the most are the ones that cover the gradual changes in the landscapes.

I've been listening to the Fortress of Lugh, learning about early human migration, mainly across Europe and Asia, and early formation of cultures. The information is based on mythology, DNA, historical records if there are any.

I like both subjects, because they are past, and while some of the dynamics might still affect our modern life, it is all removed a step or two.
