The history of Luxembourg, according to a barman

For anyone who ever struggled to stay awake during history classes US TV producers THRASH LAB may have the answer. The comic geniuses have produced a number of comical educational videos on a range of subjects – even the history of Luxembourg.

The “Factuary” video about the Grand Duchy begins during the Middle Ages where a helpful barman explains Luxembourg's origins from Feudalism on up.

While much of the content is tongue-in-cheek, the light-hearted summing up of more than 600 years of history certainly leaves an impression.

Published on Youtube in May this year, the video it has since garnered more than 16,000 views and nearly 200 “likes”.

Check it out and see for yourself.
