Such a shame and ignorance, how could you skip the Arab civilisation? As they have a long love story with horses letting way much historical and fossil evidence documenting the presence of horses in the Arabian Peninsula dozens of centuries ago and I think you can't talk about horses without mentioning the arab civilisation

The importance of Horses is evident by the importance of Fossil fuel today. While cars be easily produced, but not oil, similarly grass was abundant but tamed horses weren't. After all, countries have been invaded in the name of Democracy, but for oil. similar to the chinese emperor killlng another one for horses

Meanwhile, I've always wondered why I've always really liked horses when I was a young boy. Thinking beyond just chalking it up to being a personal preference, I nowadays can't help but wonder if there's some epigenetic component to some of us taking a liking to them given our whole history.
reply

Have we thought deeply about the history of the horse? we don't, because we have seen the horse as a riding animal since our birth. Who would possibly knew that horses have a 50, 000 year old history. That is why, I love history, It forces us to think differently.

At 0: 43 and for most of this Video, why is the India Map having Huge chunks of Indian Territory shown as part of China and Pakistan. Ted-ed needs to show some respect for the World's Largest Democracy. Try to use the official map of India for the Next Videos

The Turks were considered as the best warriors due to their horsemanship and skill in archery.

Another important reason for the success of the Turks was their superior military technology and art of war. These nomads from the Steppes could be credited with introducing ' the age of the horse.

Horses have a great memory and can remember people and places for many years. They can also remember specific training exercises and respond better to trainers they've worked with before.

Don't forget the amazing taste of horses! The nomads who domesticated the horse have a cuisine centered around horse meat. As one of them, I think horse meat is the best meat.

It's fascinating that equids originated in North America, yet one of the reasons why Europeans were able to dominate the native people was due to their lack of horses.

First horse used bye Ancestors of Turks. These cars with horses is coming from Anav Culture (Known for now. And usually other peoples are learned from Turks

Stirrups were firstly introduced to Europe by the Eurasian Pannonian Avars who were one of the late arriving Oghur Turkic warrior tribes of the Pontic steppe

The world map at 1: 20 is so weird. What is up with Poland? is it the return of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth? And why is has Sudan not been split?
reply

I recall someone claiming that -- due to how we bred horses -- that they're similar to pigeons in that even when wild they can be easily redomesticated
reply

So horses were living peacefully in america for 4 milion years until humans appeared there and slaughtered them all in just a thousand years.
