This was a fantastic video! If anyone is interested, the rabbit in the moon in Japanese myth has two meanings Like the Western man in the moon, many see the outline of a rabbit, as highlighted in the video but it’s also believed the rabbit wields a mallet in which it pounds もち (mo-chi), a Japanese sweet made with a variety of rice known for sweetness and pounding it until it becomes supple and paste like. This is because mochi is often eaten in the New Year as a symbol of good luck and (I guess) the white moon could be symbolic of the white mochi and a pure, white rabbit? There is also another tale, of Buddhist origin, that says the man on the moon came to Earth disguised as a beggar. He was approached by a fox, that offered him a fish, a monkey, who offered fruit and a rabbit, who offered grass. Seeing how it’s offer was not as good as the monkey or fox, the rabbit built a fire and offered to roast itself for the man. Delighted with it’s generosity, the man took the rabbit with him and placed him in the moon, tying in with Buddhist virtues of generosity and selflessness.
Please make more videos! The quality of this one is fantastic. My kid is home schooling during the pandemic and she loved this. I thought it was important to teach her about moon mythology and not just the scientific aspects, because it's so fascinating and I find combining the two adds intrigue to learning something rather than just cold hard facts. Thanks
Can you list your sources, I'm doing a school report but having a hard time finding evidence. This video helped me alot thought. I thought you had more subs because this video is top quality.
It pays to watch this to the end. I appreciate that bit he threw. in at the end because I had to wait. Yes Now that made a whole lot of sense. Thank you!!
Well I just found this video during my research of myths around the moon. I am building a character with the theme of the moon for a pen and paper campaign. I think this video really helps.
Just found this video (it was fantastic) then I saw the sub count and I now I am confused. Even if this was the only video you ever posted, I feel like you should have at least a few thousand subs. Life just doesn't make sense sometimes. I am now headed to see if you do in fact have other videos, and if so, I may watch some of them. Thank you and good night.
Selene is actually a Hellenistic titaness so she is the titan representation of moon relations! The Roman counterpart of Artemis is seen in Diana who also has the same relative parentage, general stories, and symbolism.
great video.. I just wish it didn't compare the space race with a dick measuring competition. Not sure if that will fly in class :-( and for Mars "F**k it, let's bring a car up there too
I loved the video but the fact that you swear in the middle is not helpful because I cannot play it for my students. Please consider not doing that in the future because the content is great.
Tf are you talking about? Are you blind, or have you never gone outside? Just look at the sky, and you'll see the moon. Not only that, there are countless records of the moon from people of the past. You seriously can not deny the existence of a celestial body.
This was a fantastic video!

Why does this have such little views, the video is so well made...
this video is a masterpiece

Wow! What a lot of work & research. Really enjoyed the video

Thank you for this man!

Ah... it was what I feared... you fell off. Bummer.
Great video that i was hoping to show in class, but guess I won't be doing that.
That was fantastic
Brilliant video. Thank you
Really well made video! I appreciated your time and effort keep up the good work.
Great production value. Hope you'll return to making content!
I thought Selene was more the roman counterpart of Artemis daughter of the
Olympian Zeus and Titaness Leto, sister to Apollo.
Selene is actually a Hellenistic titaness so she is the titan representation of moon relations! The Roman counterpart of Artemis is seen in Diana who also has the same relative parentage, general stories, and symbolism.
im making a joke cult about the moon lol. this will help
brooo is is sooo good
Amazing video !
Great work keep going!!
New sub
any one familliar by tsukuyomi susano and amaterasu?
Informative and very well done. There are about 3 places where "language" is not suitable for younger viewers :(
Great Video......... but I can not use it in my classroom! Too bad, you could not have watched your language a little
Finally
Can I ask, What do you use to make your videos, and where do you sound effects ???
We made this one with a combo of After Effects, Pro Tools and Premiere pro! The SFX were just anywhere we could get them!
great video.. I just wish it didn't compare the space race with a dick measuring competition. Not sure if that will fly in class :-(
and for Mars "F**k it, let's bring a car up there too
Why don't you make more videos ?
You didn’t even mention the alphabet and moon
🩶

Wrong, wrong!!
The moon isn’t real
Tf are you talking about? Are you blind, or have you never gone outside? Just look at the sky, and you'll see the moon. Not only that, there are countless records of the moon from people of the past. You seriously can not deny the existence of a celestial body.
