Now that I think about it “Santa Claus” does sound Greco-Roman. I thought he was primarily based off of Odin. St. Nickolas sounds like he was a neat guy.
He did not come from Odin, Odin didn't bring presents or ride through the night sky. We got modern santa off of Dutch version of Saint Nick (Sinterklaas).
@@tosamja1636 I'm on UA-cam in comments I shouldn't have to site my knowledge lol take a trip to Google. It isn't like odin is the definitive trait of Santa but the overall look comes from illustrations and odin has a magical flying horse, that's about it.
Just realized you started uploading more and I’m glad for it, thanks for sticking around I love this channel and style. I would like to see the Anglo-Pequot War series finished but I like anything y’all cover so feel free to do whatever works on y’alls end.
He may not be his actual birthday but it’s good that he atleast gets a day to celebrate his birth and resurrection. Even though he deserves much much more
1:33 Not so fun fact in certain parts of Europe. Main, the Netherlands people will dress up as that characthank you problem is most of them will paint their faces black And paint their Lips red
he was a priest before the great schism, thus means he is a Roman Orthodox Catholic Church Saint, before the schism happened that divided the Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox Catholic Church.
People back then: Santa Claus is fake.
People now: Santa Claus is dead.
And some of us look back and wish we could relive it again
A new video from Uncivil History! A true Christmas gift!

The God of Thunder, Taranis and the Cloud Spirit met in heavens above and the world shook as they clashed upon seeing their followers in combat.

Should do one on why we celebrate Jesus’s bithday in December when that’s not his real birthday.

Hello there my name is Glenn I’m a adult I still believe in Santa Claus and Easter Bunny and tooth fairy I still believe them in my heart
Saint Nicholas is an Orthodox saint with a beautiful white Orthodox beard. ❤
Just found this channel and it’s too bad there aren’t many videos.
I’d love if you covered King Phillip’s War, sometime.
Atun-Shei Films covered that war pretty well.
@@jeffreygao3956 Thanks so much for the helpful info! I will watch it.
@@brittybee6615 It's no trouble of mine, winner!
