Hey guys, what's going on [alright]? So today is the day
Yeah, I know all you FTD Facts followers out there
You've been requesting it you guys have been doing it saying in the comments section
Asking for us to finally do a video on the ball now here on FTD Facts
Okay, [alright] first of all we take requests from all you guys out there in the real world
So be sure to let us know what videos you want [to] see what countries? What questions, you guys have
We'll get answering them for you guys in future videos, and we'll give you guys shout outs
But [also] before I get the video
I want to know from you [guys] it has nothing to do with countries
But I want to know what is your favorite type of food? What is your favorite dish me? [I] love lasagna
[I] mean if I could be a real-life version of Garfield
I would because I love lasagna that much so anyways we ain't getting any younger. [let's] get started. [let's] talk about nepal now
Thanks to courageous all and many of you other viewers out [there] you guys gave us a lot of facts
So we didn't have to do the research [however]
We had to [double-check] a lot of these facts first and thanks to gray. He said that 91 percent of Nepal's energy is produced by
Hydroelectric power now for those who don't know what hydroelectric power is it's where they use dams and water to power
[12-year] cities now. He says it's 91 percent, but I couldn't find an exact number on that
So I don't know if that's necessarily true however what I did find is that seventy six point eight percent of the population of nepal
Does have access to power and of that?
I was reading that 16 to 23 percent of its electricity is
Imported now the rest of that is indeed supplied by hydroelectric power, but however in 2010 that meant that
12.5 million people didn't have access to electricity and as a matter of fact [76%] of the entire population
Whether or not they have electricity or not they still use wood stove tops [also] an interesting thing to note
Is that nepal does not have any known oil coal or gas?
Reserves now like I said a lot [of] their power is imported. Let's talk about their import exports once again
This is another one of those countries [that] imports a lot more than it acts now
[it's] exports equal one point zero six billion dollars in Goods however
They import seven point 75 billion dollars in goods as well now their biggest exports are knotted carpets being seven point five or yeah
flavored water being six point five percent now if you you guys in the comments
You guys mentioned that nepal has a very unique flag as a matter of fact the only flag of its type in the entire world
Now most flags are yeah in the shape of a rectangle or square they're called quadrakill flags, but [however] it is true
Nepal does not have a quadrakill flag and as a matter of fact you guys were right because nepal
Well, it has a flag of two triangles on it, and I gotta say man
Give that to nepal I wish there were more flags that were like this not to bash any other countries
but I really think that this is original now back on April 25th of
2015 the Paul was hit by a giant earthquake it measured seven point eight on the richter scale
[but] here are some things that you probably didn't know about that earthquake first of all it is the worst earthquake
They've had in 80 years
The earthquake itself also had two aftershocks the first one measuring six point seven on the richter scale and the seven being seven point three
this earthquake affected [eight] million people with over eighty seven hundred people being lost and
[tWenty-two] thousand people being injured and that was a really sad unfortunate time for nepal and now enough with the bad stuff
Let's talk about something really good about nepal it is the oldest country in South, Asia
Yeah, I know crazy right, but nepal was founded in
1768 and this bloody country doesn't even have an [independence] [day] because it was never conquered by anybody [now] keep in mind in
1923 Britain declared its independence
But this is because the whole country was ruled by the ranna family and they pretty much supported the prime minister
Nepal is also the first country to have the highest renewable water resources
That's right Russia comes second the united states and Canada come third and fourth now. This is according to a study done in
2011 where it stated that nepal has over 210 cubic kilometers of renewable water
I guess that's why we get a lot of flavored water from that country guys if you think nepal is already a pretty fascinating
Place hit that like button course. I'm pretty fascinated by it already. [oh], yeah, what am I talking about man?
We always like to talk about the population of countries
And I feel like I've totally forgot that in this video
nepal has over twenty seven point eight million people now keep in mind apollo me has a landmass of
147 thousand [kilometers] [square], and also that study was done in 2013. So there's probably a lot [more] people nowadays
There's nothing when we think in a poll you guys probably think of this guy, you know
I'm talking [about] Buddha the guy that kind of reminds me of the pillsbury doughboy. [you] know what I'm saying
You just want to poke his belly and hope he goes
[Hmm] guys, I'm not being anti religious you got a belly that big you just want to poke it
hopefully there's no lint in there because that would be just
Disgusting but when it comes to buddha and the religion of buddhism [some] people may think that it formed in different countries however
Lord Buddha was born around
623 BC and they say that the [Lumbini] temple is not only kind of the area where he was born
But it's also the first buddhist temple as a matter of fact this temple is so recognized as the birthplace of the buddhist religion
[that] it is under the protection of the un es co which is a world heritage?
organization now
Let's talk about the tallest mountain in the entire world and that tall mountain is known as cigar Mana
Which currently stands over?
29,000 feet above sea level now wait a minute. I get it some of you guys could be like Dave
No, you're wrong. You're wrong scar Martha's not the tallest it's everest man
Don't you know just common [sense] you all believe it or not mount everest is also called Sundar, [Ma]
Gadget and you know I consider when we're talking about everest
Let's talk about everest and who climbed it now many people have climbed it
They've tried to climb it many people have died [in] an attempt to climb it as well as a matter of fact they say about
280 people have died so [far] at least collected human history while attempting [to] climb the mountain
Now the idea for climbing the Mountain came from Quentin Thomas dent who was president of the alpine club in his?
1885 book above the snow he stated that yeah
It's most likely
possible to climb that Mountain and reach the top
after that there were tons of
Attempts as a matter of fact the northern approach was first discovered by Gregory mallory and guy bullock now
This was during a british expedition in 1921 and they only made it to
22,000 982 feet however Edmund Hillary and tenzing Norway were the first people to
successfully climb to the top and that was back in
1953 [Gotta] say there's a lot of cool history on the attempted climbs and the successful climbs of everest
But anyways [guys] that is just the tip of the iceberg for this lovely country
[thank] you guys so much for watching

You know most people just don't know about so I'm glad I got the opportunity to educate you [guys]
