can already tell this is a great one
Same.. and I'm barely 20 seconds in!
Wake up babe! Fire of Learning just posted a new video!!!
My favourite part about Pleiades myth is that it is implied that human always keep track of the constellation before the (possible) dimming of the seven star, you cannot say something disappear unless you noticed its existence in the first place. The way I see it Pleiades myth shows that human are always fascinated by celestial bodies and like to keep track of it, and well we still do it we are still fascinated by stars, we still love observing it.
We know for a fact oral histories DO change, because we have oral stories that were later written down, such as the Torah and the Illiad, which we can compare to archaeological fact to see the changes.
Haven't clicked anything faster
Oh heck yea. I've been wanting a long form Flames of Studying video.
Genesis is a book so old it had to be retold through Moses because it wasn't accurately written down till then. Genesis was also viewed as a accurate historical record by many pagan nations too.
The people that traveled far did so on their creative whim of remebering themselves and their old stories
Hell yea
Correlation does not equil causation
?
Nice video M. LaViolette. I'm skeptical about the Aborigines' remembering of a great flood. The rise in sea-level after the last Ice Age took a very long time and would have gone unnoticed. Every culture has flood stories because people need to live near water (even in the desert where there can be deadly flash floods e.g. the city of Petra in Jordan). For a flooding event to be noticed, it would have to occur quickly like the seasonal flooding patters found all over the world.
Do not underestimate the permanence of singing and dancing a story to a song. The memorization of movement, the appearance of the dance, and the words sung help reinforce each other. So despite the centuries the story remains remarkably intact. And quite frankly, it wouldn't surprise me if such ways of remembering old stories had become lost in Western Civilization by the time the Medieval period came around. Even when dancing and music is taken out of the equation rhyme and meter still help reinforce memory of telling stories. Looking at you Homer...
Stefan Milo did a video similar to this. Check it out if this interested you. Its more of an anthropological take on the topic.
I am so psyched for this !!!! Gotta watch on my lunch break
Wait... Shouldn't it be a prehistoric bajoran visit?
When is part two of the history of Italy coming out
Really fascinating video!!
-Seven- , I mean, six star content!
Top tier content as always
Nice.
What if the seventh star just… blew up?
There would be signs that a supernova had occurred in the area, especially recently
Sioux is a slur, the Lakota people humbly request people call them the Lakota.
We will look into this and use the correct terminology in the future, thank you
If they're not offended, white people will pretend to be offended on their behalf.
What gives you the authority to speak for an entire people group? "Sioux" is as much a slur as "slav" is. My mother is Lakota-Sioux and my father is Kashubian Polish, and neither of them take offense to either terms, in fact they and I take great pride in them.
Oh sit down, shall we change the name of all the casinos too?
