Noice

even i was thinking that ...lol

Where do you think Rowling got it from?

@@Master_Blackthorne lol

voldemort is a bastardized version of a lich which I believe were based on this character

Perfect

You forgot: Never trust a witch, expecially when its Baba Yaga herself. x,D

@@christianfinken6433 of course! XD

I love u

Excellent take aways!

It's about trust. lol

She should’ve told him she had Flowers in the Attic and he probably wouldn’t within a mile of the thing.

@Dark Star Poor communication is the root of ALL stories 🤣

@@fenriraldrek1022 Such a nice movie (sarcasm), "Flowers in the Attic".

I mean you can say its about trust but like clearly she didnt trust him enough to just explain so its not really cool to test someones curiosity like that under the guise of trust

Lol, I thought it was a bug on my screen

I know right 😂😂

I was bout to sleep 😭😭😭.

if they get that data, they will surely find his soul.

I ain't even made about the promotion with how smooth he dropped it.

Lich?

@@benedictjajo An undead magic user made popular through D&D. They bind their souls to small magical items to make themselves undead and live forever.

eg. Sauron, Voldemort

Yup, he's the OG lich.

He was. The concept of the lich and the philanctary is from European myth.

Their folktales are way cooler!

3 little pigs had alot of subliminal messaging and were not tied to any countries actual history and ancient knowledge. Use those modernized commercial kids to digest, directed at them by design by the way. use those stories to benefit your growth as you do more research into things that are as per the rules put alot of it right in our faces. Its all about consent and alot of it is us giving in and buying into all the lies of the modernized domesticated human world. I for one won't buy into the BS of being a fictionalized human with a fictionalized and edited history. I'd rather go deep into our knowledge and personal accounts of so many amazing and cool things. There is a man who has amazing books and his own channel where he speaks more at length but check out the series titled a little bit Irish. His books were from loads of research over his long life and getting personal accounts from so many people who are not seeking profit or notoriety or any other things of the sort! Wayyyy before the computer and internet. Heck, even the stories and accounts of those same peoples grand parents and what they knew and experienced and passed down. Even in ways to make sure thr information survives despite famines and wars etc, both caused by the elite of the era causing trouble for the average man. One of the stories he shares about that peasant healer woman who's name became known far and wide outside of Ireland as well. Amazing stuff.

If you want to see an actual equivalent for Americans, look into Native American Myths, they can be just as weird and spectacular as this. But nobody is really making them anymore so your comparison of weak myths isn't actually related to country, but time.

@@inhalefarts that’s cool. Thanks for mentioning this

LMAO

Appreciate these that would have otherwise been far from me

slavic mythology is weird

Mighty Tighty Whitey And I'm Smuggling Plums maybe but the weirder the better

@@Samrules888 but interesting

@@user-lx5vo5vf3w yep.

There should be a "hold up, wait a minute" at the old man " i havent ate or drank for 10 years" claim...lol

addendum: if the dying man says he has not had any food or drink for years, run even faster

Lol I read this in Homer's voice

My thoughts exactly

😂😂😂😂

That series is awesome!! I never grow tired of it

I’ve watched that show, and honestly I was so excited about it at first, but it was a bit disappointing.😥 It got stuff wrong that people who were *actually* familiar with the mythology would already know was false.😔 I mean they referred to Loki as Thor’s brother! That’s specifically a MARVEL only thing, in true Norse mythology Loki’s a “blood brother” to Odin..ODIN! 😣 It’s still a good show, and I do injoy watching it.. it’s just upsetting that they didn’t seem to do nearly as much research on some of the subjects they covered.🥺

@@classyoldsole2539 ,Yeah,I realized that they had got that fact wrong .

Stories differ,in where I live,The legend is not about prince Ivan,But about Tsar(Emperor) Ivan Asen II,who meet koshei and call him a trickster,so koshei kidnap his wife,and The Tsar travel north to get his revenge and wife back.

I also have read this version

YES!!!! Why do you hide such an important detail when you don't need to?

@@charleenkotey8057 On a meta level, perhaps it's a useful way to teach children to listen to their elders when they're told, "Don't go there."

@@tomkerruish2982 And maybe even a lesson to explain oneself better than Maria.

Knowing may have made him more curious to see the sorcerer

Imagine being told there is a super chained up lich in your attic. And being as curious as Ivan. Yeah, not a good combination...

Anymore Inferno coming soon?

Still some way off having the artwork finished but part 2 and 3 of the Divine Comedy will be uploaded when they are ready.

@@MythologyFictionExplained I can't wait!

please can you do a mythology about SUN WUKONG

Been here for a long time.... lolz

I second that

I think i would like to learn more myths of the world

It's sad that the other mythologies are overshadowed by more popular mythologies like Greek for example

I agree. Native American myths are insane.

Look up anu breed

Yap thats the proper translation.

i've seen variants of koschey in romanian folklore too. diferent spelling of course. the mechanic of the antagonist having a powerful horse is there too. only there is the added mechanic of transfiguring objects into obstacles that the antagonist powers through, with the hero's horse persuading their kinsman to throw off their rider and join the hero. also, the variant of the tale of maria morevna (spelled Marea Morevna for some reason) had the weakened bridge falling a foot or two short of baba yaga managing to cross it.

@@Mir0222 nope, that ii not the proper translation.

Yeah my russian grandma pronounces his name like "Ka-shyei" (emphasis on the 2nd syllable, making the "o" more of an /ə/ ) always thought it was like that.

Deathless or undying are closer translations from Russian to English than immortal. Though I suppose they mean the same thing, immortal sounds more benign (free from mortality) while there is something inherently sinister about being without death or to be undying... As if death has come, but isn’t able to close its grasp around Koschei, who is beyond its reach.

Lmao.

I read that fact in a zombie encyclopedia.

Baba Yaga is a goddess, when Christianity came along she was demonized

@@sebastien4908 wrong, she was a hag. Hags were nature spirits that were ambivalent in nature and godlike in status (but not actually gods). So Christianity had nothing to do with her depiction. She could either help you out or eat your children. The only thing i could agree Christianity actually did was brand entities like her as witches...which only dramatised her taste for kids, not create it. Do your research before sounding like a bigot please.👌

He's also a freeholding Lord of the Unseelie Accords.

the various forms of ivan in russian folklore are somewhat akin to Fat Frumos to romanian folklore. only that fat frumos tends to sometimes be born of a woman who found a peppercorn that refused to stay on the table no matter what. the woman eats it and SURPRISE PREGNANCY!!!

Most russian heroes in those tales are literally called Ivan the Dumb. Others, supposedly smarter relatives and friends, always frown upon them, yet always got surpassed. It's actually funny when everyone in a story knows a protagonist is an idiot.

@@ragvald8835 Because stupidity wasn't used as an insult, but often represented simplicity, which contradicted worldly wisdom. The characters often found solutions to problems that most people would not even look for. In one story, the hero is tasked to find "who knows what, who knows where", something as vague as possible, and only the simple-minded hero was able to find it by following his heart. They are the classic underdog.

@@ragvald8835 More accurate translation is Ivan the Fool. Not dumb, but naive and honest, while his relatives and friends are more cunning and sceptical, and often try to trick Ivan and steal whatever goods he obtained, and he, being naive, often gives them away.

@@Katya_Lastochka so basically ancient slavic version of Forrest Gump

Maybe he is one of the people that accepting devil's contract. She didnt know

or..... he gets a new cybernetic / terminator like body and infiltrates skynet destroying it and enslaving... i mean saving the human race!....

This explains 2020

Interestingly, Western people do not understand the meaning of Koshchei at all. In fact, Koshchei is a collective image of the world oligarchy, a kind of entity that rules people with money. And Koschei is absolutely alive and immortal to this day.

That actually happens in the second volume of Tezuka's Phoenix, the guy lived so long that his body turned to dust on the wind, and just kept on living until time cycled back to its start and he was absorbed into the Phoenix.

I still take it.

thats what happened to Strom Thurmond

@@Mlotshaw1 no that was Deamon Pocestion like duke of hell level

That just sounds like a human.

You mean birds can't talk??

Parrots

I was in D&D thought mode. I assumed a "speak with animals" spell, was cast.

I also thought if it were a cartoon or movie, I would have him 'Tripping' on honey, and hallucinating messages from the bees, as buzzing sounds changing, harmonizing noise, into words. (maybe visual effects of watching the swarm, around the hive, form patterns and symbols)

Greek is good too

@@Insight16718 Greek is mor like some trash Tv shows....

@@georgeevernight2814 I don’t watch the tv shows Greek mythology has good games

@The God Emperor of Mankind nah, we knew. Just people can't translate these scripts 😂

Reminds me of Riff Raff from Rocky Horror.

Usually, for the sake of simplifying the myth, it is not said that the journey for parts of the soul takes place in different time periods and places. and Yes, even that can't kill him because he's possessed by the demon of greed. And he'll be back sooner or later. In addition, he is still, from the time when he was a mortal man, the husband of the goddess of death Mara. So she will throw him back to the mortal world, they did not get along together) He is doomed to eternal torment by greed and lust for power, and grow stronger.

Especially after hearing this story...😩

Same! I can’t wait for that story!

Ukinam ka!

I LOVE YOU AND I MISS YOU, HANDSOME!

Your gorgeous 😍

@@FresnoBoy6star That’s super sweet of you to say! Thank you darling.

@@karinanalbandyan3009 your welcome :) I just had to let you know. You have me hypnotized like narcissus when he looked at his own reflection. Im unsure if you aware of that Greek tale. I love mythology though.

Agreed.It's one of my favorite as well.

He’s essentially the template for the lich

Looks like one of those kings Frodo saw when he put on the ring the first time

lol runescape koschei vs this koschei, who wins?

Hell yeah! RuneScape will forever be the greatest MMO to exist, imo 👍🏻

Tom Hiddleston Loki

yep. and said horse is always the one hiding at the back of the stables, is the only one able to talk and saves the hero's bacon a lot during the story. said weak and sickly horse tends to miraculously shake itself a little, and WHAM! young, good looking, still talking horse :P

I don't wanna be that guy but...Connor can die if you decapitate him.😐

@@humanity600 a mere slit doesn't do the trick. it requires a decapitation or nothing. The Kurgan got his throat slit and it didn't really affect him that much, hence the staples around his neck. Also: "Pfff Nuns, no sense of humor"

@@AncestorEmpire1 I edited the reply and corrected it a good while ago...and as for the sense of humour.🤷‍♂️

@@humanity600 well done

They had something kinda close with The Black Cauldron. It was based off of a Welsh book series. It bombed at the box office.

Hence the name thumbnail saying Koschei the deathless, however having that as a title and saying it in the video is grounds to be demonetised according to KZfaq.

I think the episode you are talking about is "The Howling Man" where the guy gets conned into releasing the devil from his captivity and once free again he was back to creating wars and famine etc upon humanity... they don't go into detail about how the man ends up capturing the devil and keeping him prisoner in his cupboard in his own house but thats where it ends

Naw, he's just a bit stupid.

@@makinoathesleepy8225 Stupid...but loyal to a fault.

that is very typical of slavic folklore. the princes are only ever victorious through the help of other magical creatures or wizards

"You are without doubt the worst hero I've ever heard of." "Ah, but you have heard of me"
