DISCLAIMER:
This documentary makes use of Midjourney V5.2 - an artificial intelligence program which creates images based on written prompts. AI generated images were used to visually convey certain moments that are otherwise difficult to find corresponding images for. Therefore, depictions of clothing, terrain, tools, likeness of historical figures, etc. might be slightly inaccurate at certain moments. That being said, significant time and effort has been taken to make AI images as close to historically accurate as possible. If something is inaccurate, please let me know in the comments so I can improve for future videos.
