[00:04:05]>> I'm not confident in this answer.

[00:04:07]>> I don't know about you, but I have always skipped geography classes. Okay, we got Vikings here. It should be around Norway. This British Isles, Scandinavian country.

[00:04:15]>> I got Aztec.

[00:04:17]>> Okay.

[00:04:18]>> It should be here.

[00:04:19]>> Okay.

[00:04:46]>> get >> [laughter] >> You got Franks. That's easy. We were just there. That's Paris. That's Franks.

[00:04:50]>> I don't know where it is on the map though, to be honest.

[00:04:52]>> It should be like around here.

[00:04:53]>> That's good. So, I have the Tatars. So, I would say probably around here for Tatars.

[00:04:58]>> Yeah, around their cavalry, so should be over there.

[00:05:00]>> Somewhere their cavalry.

[00:05:02]>> Good enough.

[00:05:34]>> Yes.

[00:05:34]>> This should be Japan.

[00:05:35]>> I agree.

[00:05:36]>> Britons should be here. Should be easy. Easiest one ever.

[00:05:39]>> Yeah, for sure.

[00:05:40]>> Cumans, I'm feeling more Asia vibes, like close to Mongolia maybe.

[00:05:47]It's hard. Okay, yeah, I like it.

[00:05:49]>> Then I have Tatars, which should be close to Cubans, I think [music] so.

[00:05:52]So, it should be like here.

[00:05:56]I think they're pretty good. [music] >> Sebastian and MBL score four.

[00:06:06]>> So, I put it here?

[00:06:07]>> Yeah, put it, put it.

[00:06:07]>> It's so hard. It should be here.

[00:06:31]>> Okay.

[00:06:31]>> I I think it's here.

[00:06:34]>> I'm pretty sure it's Africa.

[00:06:35]>> Yeah, [laughter] I know. I know.

[00:06:36]>> You were like, "Oh, yeah, it's like here."

[00:06:38]>> I'm talking about Africa.

[00:06:39]>> Oh, okay, okay. That Africa.

[00:06:41]>> [laughter] >> It should be around here, I think.

[00:06:44]>> Uh Inca zero.

[00:06:46]Don't look up here. They're >> I'm not looking up.

[00:06:49]>> Okay, okay. So, we just go like here?

[00:06:51]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[00:06:52]>> You feel [music] confident?

[00:06:54]>> I think we nailed this.

[00:06:58]>> The Viper and Misteo score two.

[00:07:05]>> [music] >> The final round. The most ancient in [music] history wins.

[00:07:13]So, you've got two civilizations. Which one, historically, not in game, is the most ancient?

[00:07:20]>> Good thing is there's a 50/50.

[00:07:21]>> Aztecs or Incas?

[00:07:25]>> That I believe should be Incas.

[00:07:27]Incas is safer. It's more known.

[00:07:29]>> We say Incas. Now we agree.

[00:07:32]Okay.

[00:07:33]>> Mayans or Aztecs?

[00:07:35]>> Mayans. You just said that they predate the Aztecs.

[00:07:38]>> Mhm.

[00:07:39]>> The Spanish are too easy.

[00:07:41]>> Yeah.

[00:07:41]>> Romans or Mongols?

[00:07:43]>> Uh I would go Mongols. I mean I missed my shot with Romans. I'm going with >> I'm leaning Mongols. I believe Mongols.

[00:07:49]I think so.

[00:07:51]>> Ah, come on.

[00:07:53]>> Aztecs [music] or Incas?

[00:07:55]>> I mean Aztec was in the game.

[00:07:58]I believe you.

[00:07:58]>> I'm not sure if the game matters here.

[00:08:00]>> Well, well, that's the only source I have.

[00:08:02]>> Okay, fair enough.

[00:08:03]>> Okay, he had the right on China earlier, so I'm going to concede and agree to Aztecs.

[00:08:08]>> Yeah.

[00:08:11]>> You are so good at this. I was so worried entering this, man.

[00:08:14]>> I'm shocked. I'm so good.

[00:08:16]>> [laughter] >> Roman Empire or Mongols?

[00:08:21]>> [gasps] >> That's horrible.

[00:08:22]>> That's horrible, yeah.

[00:08:23]>> What do you think? I think Romans are older civilization.

[00:08:27]>> More older?

[00:08:27]>> Should be.

[00:08:28]500 years.

[00:08:29]>> Let's go with my answer, okay? It's the Mongolian, okay? Trust trust I have a good feeling.

[00:08:33]>> I don't.

[00:08:36]>> Khmer Empire or Mauryan Empire?

[00:08:39]>> Khmer or Mauryan?

[00:08:39]>> Khmer or Mauryan?

[00:08:41]>> play either, so I don't know.

[00:08:42]>> Gunpowder came [music] after.

[00:08:44]>> Yes, I by that logic Khmer is older.

[00:08:46]>> Yeah, yeah. So, Khmer.

[00:08:47]>> Okay, so you are right. Good.

[00:08:49]>> Of course.

[00:08:51]>> Aztecs or Incas? [music] >> Aztecs or Incas?

[00:08:57]Oh, that's a rough one.

[00:08:58]Uh I think Incas.

[00:09:03]>> Aztecs.

[00:09:05]>> I believe you.

[00:09:06]>> Roman Empire or Mongols?

[00:09:09]>> I will go Mongols.

[00:09:10]>> You will go Mongols?

[00:09:11]>> Yeah.

[00:09:12]>> I I would guess [music] Romans, but I'm going to trust you again since you've been right so far.

[00:09:16]>> okay.

[00:09:16]>> All right. Final answer, Mongols.

[00:09:18]>> It was Mongols.

[00:09:20]>> I knew it.

[00:09:21]>> Beating the [music] champions are The Viper and Mr. Yo.

[00:09:28]>> To be honest, it's kind of expected. We were very confident entering this.

[00:09:31]>> How would you prefer this or winning at Royal Albert Hall in front of 3,000 people?

[00:09:36]>> I think it's close.

[00:09:38]>> Yeah.

[00:09:39]>> But maybe Royal should be >> the same.

[00:09:42]>> Yeah, okay.
