are the buttons on the cloak a reference to matpat?

Square root of minus one.

For me, if someone I'm dating mentions the existence of irrational numbers before marriage, giant red flag.

There's an interesting manga about a math teacher being isekai'd into a kid and showing various math tricks and puzzles including irrational numbers as he would really rather be learning to do magic. Weird name though, Search for "my magician senior" and you should find it.

I don't blame them. Math used to make sense

Go look up ancient Coliseum graffiti, it's not that, but you can get pretty close i think.

I never knew people could be that petty even back then.

@@Memelord1117 Roman graffiti is such a testament to human nature. "Sorry, ladies, I'm done with you! I, Telsemachus, am only going to sport with men now!" - I have to think a few of the sex workers in the food court the rough equivalent appeared in were relieved to hear this. It's like if MGTOW had a bisexuality clause.

That would have been hilarious! 😂

Last time I played he was a rather minor background character who woke up and got killed. I guess it's changed a lot since then.

@101Mant if you're playing in the British isles, he's the most important piece of the metaplot, if you're not, he's relatively minor. Which is kind of the nature of vampire lore, it's all as important as you want it to be

I have sent a link of this video to my game group chat.

Funnily I'm also doing the exact same thing, but only first playthrough so no spoilers!

Starting a Chronicle in Victorian England soon. I'm ST, and am very much planning on the cult of Mithras having a substantial place in the plot. Should be fun for the coterie!

But not exactly surprising, given how thirsty the Romans were.

That's probably how they got people to join. "C'mon dude, tell me, what's the deal with the scorpion?" "Can't tell you, that knowledge is for member's only"

K. Here’s a hint. Don’t be so literal. They’re constellations. 😑

Just like the zodiac in Gravity Falls, the symbols don’t have to be literal.

Give em the clamps!

Ahh the stonecutters lol

Welcome to stone cutters 2.0 Rules: no Homers

Who keeps Atlantis off the maps?~ Who keeps the Martians under wraps?~ We do, we do~

Who holds back the electric car? Who makes Steve Gutenberg a star? WE DO, WE DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It's quite likely this series will mention the inspiration for the Stonecutters, The Freemasons!

The wine had many drugs they called people that were able to use the drugs Jesus. Was a a titel😢

So was mithraism, one of the things mithras is responsible for (at least in its persian form) is literally death and rebirth (hence the scorpion/cancer getting the seed out of the bulls testicles so a new bull will be born)

Insurance companies? Can I get a discount on vehicle insurance with the right blood ritual? Asking for a friend...

@@georgesears2916 I'm afraid I'm not able to reveal those kinds of secrets to outsiders.....

You forgot to mention multi-level marketing groups - pretty culty if you ask me 😂

@@greatexpectations6577 and Rust developers.

We need like a cult of exercise

i’ve been too! really wonderful, and i had a blast at the 0 level floor crafting area haha

Huh! I never knew that was in London! I shall give it a look when I next travel there!

@@blaster915 you absolutely should, there's also a wall of artefacts including part of a roman door they found in the Thames. Just be sure to book a place online.

Hi, major classical religion nerd here. The Eleusinian Mysteries are interesting, in that they are the oldest example of a 'Mystery' in the Greek and Roman worlds, that is a set of rituals that were supposed to be secret to non-initiates. The Mysteries, however, were not much of an organised group nor were they *that* secret. The Mysteries literally consisted of a single, drawn out ritual involving a procession from Athens to Eleusis and back, ritual ordeals, and most likely a ritual encounter with the goddess Demeter. That's it. Some people did the ritual multiple times in their life, but it's closer to a very elaborate baptism you're not allowed to tell anyone about than a real secret society. And as I said, it also wasn't *that* secret. Some estimates have the majority of the Athenian citizen population be initiated in the mysteries, as they weren't really that picky. While the Eleusinian Mysteries were certainly uniquely unorganised and loose, it is worth mentioning many other Mystery Cults (especially the older ones) were similarly more a 'thing we do every so often but don't tell anyone about', rather than a full blown secret society like the Mithraics (and even the Mithraics appear to have been limited to a bunch of mostly independant local chapter houses). From what we can tell based on a couple of snitches throughout history, the Eleusinian Mysteries seem to have been a ritual to ensure a good afterlife (again, similar to a baptism). They seem to have included a ritual encounter with death, from which Demeter 'saved' the inititate. If you're wondering why Demeter, she was actually a major cthonic goddess to many Greeks. Not only is her daughter Persephone, but she herself was often seen as a goddess of rebirth and reincarnation. The idea appeared to have been that she caused grain to emerge from the ground, life from death, and could therefore also bring the dead back to life (although not in a Christian style resurrection, I don't actually know if the details of this afterlife-belief are known).

@@aquos4176 It's certainly interesting. The only other thing I know about Demeter's life-giving/keeping powers is that myth about the seasons, and I've heard that the usual take on it, that it's winter when Persephone goes back to Hades, is mostly a current misunderstanding, and that it's in fact summer (seems like summers in Ancient Greece were scorching, plus it makes a lot of sense given that one of the people she goes to ask about her daughter during that season, and the one that provides her with an answer, is Helios).

How dare YOU!!! She is mater, not pater!

Really? I thought it was Walpole.

@@GeneralLuigiTBC Would have been Ibn Battuta, were he not frequently away on sidetrips.

@@jorgelotr3752 Maybe they can give him an Emeritus role.

I thought the appeal to Christianity was you didn't have to do anything besides convert

@@Makarosc You had to repent of your sins and be baptized. That's not nothing. Also, you'll be worshiping alongside people you would otherwise consider your enemies. Keep in mind Jesus's disciples included tax collectors and zealots, literally traitors and terrorists.

​@@chowyee5049one Big Advantage of Christianity over Mithraism is the Christians is Pro-Poor while Mithra adherent are almost exclusively for Rich Folks also Mithraism system of recruitment is almost similar to Fraternity which tend to Exclusiveness to Certain degree of People While early Christianity has no discrimination to join its ranks no matter your Status in Society ie: Poor & Rich , Sinner , Criminals , Romans or Non-Romans aslong you truly repent of your Sin and Pray in the name of Jesus your welcome too the Fold.

Weren't some flavours of gnostic Christianity very mystery-cult-y?

@@Colddirector Gnostics sure. But not proto-orthodox Christians. Gnosticism certainly seeped into the Early Church but they resisted vehemently.

Yes

No

Extra History history has been made

maybe I don’t know

i thought something felt weird

And if not your welcome to do your own video about it!

Why obsessed?

I want a part on Byron, the poet, joining it and wanting to sell his estate to keep financing his Albanian troops. It's crazy!

@@KasumiRINA IKR fascinating story

I am from Iraq, I am interested in this too

We will!

​@@extrahistoryawesome ❤❤❤❤

@@extrahistory I'm SO waiting for the Aleister Crowley cameo.

Wait, Golden Dawn? The Greek ultranationalist group?

@@robertjarman3703 The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a secret society from the late 19th to early 20th century. No Greek except Hermes Trismagistas who is Throth+Hermes

atleast half of these secret societies would be aligned with the templar

Cuuuuttteeee

They are a little 'eh' but pretty good overall.

One of my favorites.

She's a 'Fire Woman'😜🤘🤘

@jon-paulfilkins7820 and shes to blame.

Totally dig the Cult, loved em since the 80s.🤟

Mithras was pretty useful in my Persona 3 Reload run, and not just for the Theurgy with Siegfried

@@derrinerrow4369 I remember them more in Strange Journey, where it starts with Mitra, and then in the refight he transforms into the Zoroastrian Mithra

Cool right?

Yes along with the bean thing.

Thank you!

You speak as if there isn't one already.

Really, I didn't know that...I thought it was a British drinking song....

@@Donathon-qx8kq "To Anacreon In Heaven" is a British drinking song.
