Christian years, roman months, and Norse days, truly awesome how they seemingly got implemented together in our modern life

It is worth noting that the Titan Kronos (Κρονος) was originally not connected to the concept of time, but rather to that of agriculture and the harvest. But the similarity with the greek word for time, chronos ( χρονος) lead already in early times to an identification between the two.

You've truly come a long way in terms of your editing and your voice is still ever so soothing. Big ups, my man.

Caesar actually came up with leap years that happened every four years in his calendar, making the year 365.25 days long. Gregory changed leap years so that they don’t occur in years divisible by 100, unless they are also divisible by 400. So 1800 and 1900 wouldn’t have a leap year but 2000 would. This changed the average year length to 365.2425 days which is a more accurate estimate. It’s pretty amazing how both of these guys who were both religious leaders/scholars created calendars that were incredibly accurate for their time I love it

"In other words, that's 311.04 trillion years. The longest single breath in mythological history." That's so...specific. I love it.

What strikes me as super interesting is that anno mundi, as well as the Maya calender both start around 3xxx BC which coincides (very for the Mayan) roughly with the birth of the first attested cities. Maybe it's not the creation of the world, but of Civilization. Which for all intents and purposes is the birth of our "modern" world.

In italian the days are named after the roman gods, like "martedì", meaning Thusday, result of the union of Marte (Mars) and dì (day), or "giovedì", from Giove (Jupiter). A different case is presented for Sunday, which in italian is called "domenica", coming from the latin word "dominica" meaning "Day of the Lord" and it was introducted by Constantine when he converted to christianism to substitute the more ancient day of the sun, or "sunday" as it still is in english.

Another interesting myth about time in the myth of dream time in Aboriginal mythology. Basically it’s a time of creation before time actually existed. The rules where less concise like a dream. I think the idea of a time before time is fascinating.

The Epitoph of Seikilos intro was very soothing when its the early morning,what other soothing music did the ancient times have?

This is probably the best youtube channel I have ever come across, amazing in every way possible. Ever since the mighty youtube algorithm showed my one of your older works, I have watched and trully enjoyed all the videos posted, and can't wait for the ones to come. Given the topic of this video, even though you are probably already familiar with him, I will encourage everyone interested in the history of the perception of time to investigate the work of the brilliant writter and historian Mircea Eliade. Once again, great inspiring content, thank you for putting so much work into your craft!!! Greetings from Madrid, Spain!

9:03 Just remember that Mexica and Mayan cultures were so different, both in art and time. The Mexica sun disc wasn't used by Mayans, and it's a relatively recent piece of art in history. Besides that, I always found the Holocen calendar fascinating, because it englobes almost all the time since humans became humans. At the same time, it gaves a better comprehension about the develop of civilizations, their collapses and renaissances. 2000 years aren't enough, it discredits all the millenia that happened before.

What is truly amazing is how so many isolated civilizations were able to independently come to the same conclusion of how long a year is and use very similar sub-divisions to organize time.

That song reminds me of the world in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. I love just exploring and walking by the shore in that game. The world is so accurate to the times. Walking around and seeing everyone go about their lives is so hypnotizing that I notice that I have been standing in the same spot for 10 minutes just people watching.

9:40 Pope Gregoy tweaked how often leap years happened, making them slightly less frequently, but it is incorrect to say that he included them. He, in fact, removed some. The man mostly credited for the inclusion of leap years is Caesar himself (hence Julian Calendar), so we can say that the calendar used all the way up until 1582 (and quite a few decades, even centuries more, in some places) is a Roman invention.

What an interesting video. Gave me a lot to think about and further educate myself on! And I loved that you started out the video with that ancient song. Wow wow wow. Hauntingly beautiful across thousands of years.

Ive been asking for ages now, but I won’t stop. Pleaaaaaaseee talk about the epic of Gilgamesh!

I cannot miss any of your vids! You should make longer versions of some topics here and there, it's such and amazing job that you do.

This is definitely my fav channel, all ur content is so well done, even if it’s literally about calendar there’s so much effort

A wise man once said “the fog on the thyme is all mine, all mine. The fog on the thyme is all mine.” I think that resonates with me to this day

It's always so interesting to realize where everyday concepts and words come from. Excellent video!

i love your videos so much man. i get so excited everytime you post! you’re the person who introduced me to biblically accurate angels, which is now my favorite topic. i’m gonna work in a museum because of you! thank you so much hochelaga.

When you talked about the Mayan calendar you showed the Aztec calendar, and what about the Jewish calendar they use a different method of counting time too.

I've had to watch this multiple times since it's so much information to digest. I adore your videos! Thank you for keeping up with these.

I dont really comment that much, but this channel really is Godsent! Such a soothing voice while telling amazing, informative histories. I can't recommend you enough to my friends and family. Keep up the great work!

you're one of my favorite documentary style channels. the topics are so obscure and also well researched and explained. i hope you will stay for long.

The Germanic days of the week are translations of the Roman ones, you can still see the originals in some Romance languages. For example, Tuesday (Tyr’s day) is named after Tyr, the Germanic war God because it was called Mars’ Day in Latin, the day of the Roman war God, Freya was used as an analogue for Venus, hence Venus’ day became Friday, and Jove’s day (Jove being a name for Jupiter) became Thursday as they’re both thunder Gods, consider the French Mardi, Vendredi, & Jeudi (Marsday/Tuesday, Venusday/Friday, & Joveday/Thursday respectively). Modern Romance languages don’t usually call Sunday Sunday but rather Godday or The Lord’s Day, as Sol, the sun, was the chief God of the late Roman pantheon and Sunday is a holy day for Christians when God rested Some languages like Albanian just transliterated weekday names from Romance languages. On the other hand some have entirely different weekdays. For example Serbian (other Slavic languages have the same etymological roots for weekday names): Sunday isn’t named after the sun but rather Nedelja Ne Delja, no tasks, no work, or no labour as it’s a day of rest. Nedelja has also come to mean week Monday is Ponedeljak, “Aftersunday” or more literally “Afternowork” or “afterweek” Tuesday, Utorak, apparently derives from a proto Slavic word meaning “second” as it’s the second day of the week Wednesday is Sreda, middle, as it’s in the middle of the week, which starts on Monday Thursday, Četvrtak means roughly “the Fourth” Friday, Petak, is the fifth Subota means Sabbath, and Sabbath in Hebrew also means idleness or rest, so I guess Saturday and Sunday have the same meaning

I can never get enough of these vids

I love watching this channel before going to bed. It's interesting, slow-paced and soothing.

Another amazing video, I love getting into the history of things like that.

You make high quality content everytime. The subjects you choose are super interesting, keep it up. You're becoming one of my favorite youtubers

Been watching your videos since you've had just about 30-40k subs and I just wanna say that your editing and composition has gotten so much better man. Keep up the great work.

I love your videos so much & this was a very interesting topic. just one thing, i am from Guatemala (in central America) & the image of the calendar you used when you starting mentioning the mayan is actually an Aztec calendar, but besides that tiny detail everything about how the Mayan saw the time (and still do, we still have multiple Mayan communities) is accurate ✨

This is beautiful on many levels, and truly epitomizes what can transcend any superficiality.

Been on youtube for a long time. This is my favorite channel. Hands down.

Your research leads to such interesting and informative content, absolutely love this channel! Hope you're doing what you love and keep on doing it 💪🏽

love your videos, they give me such peace while im also learning and being entertained.

This is probably THE best video you've done so far. I learned a lot from this. Very interesting.

Been watching you for awhile man. I think you may have just made yourself a masterpiece. Wish vids like this were around when I was a kid!

Man never stop doing this videos, your work is awesome

A new hochelaga vid is always welcome to see in my notifications, and the Peter Pringle "cover" at the intro was a nice bonus.

I really love your awesome content. But I would love it even more, if the videos were longer every now and then. I could listen to your presentation style all day, so I'd love to see longer videos.

I'm always fascinated by the subject matter, but honestly the voiceover is just so relaxing I watch every video.

Tbh.. i am looking for this channel again and just found it today. Coz last week this video made me relax so much that i went to sleep. Love your voice and thank u for this 🙏🙏🙏

Probably one of my favs of yours, thanks so much man!

Best short historical content on youtube for sure!

1st rate work , easy to follow, informative, diverse, in depth. Fantastic! Facts plus myth and wide indepth info you just don't this kind of learning entertainment!

I absolutely love your channel and I'm always looking forward to seeing more amazing content from you

Great video. Hope you expand this into a series!

I absolutely love this channel! I am so using this video on my next class. Thanks so very much!

Absolutely brilliant as always, Hoche!

I appreciate the effort you put in what you do. Such a great job. Your videos are so entertaining and informative. Can't wait for a new video

I can't believe that this channel hadn't blew up yet, thank you.

Yeahhh!! Love all your videos sir! Interestingly enough, you say our days of the week are named about the Norse gods, however in Italian for example, their days of the week were named after the Roman gods

I love this channel! Every vid is a treat. Cheers mate

This channel just keeps getting better.

So glad I found your channel

glad to see you upload

Awesome video, loved the imagery and content!

I love your stuff and it is enhanced by a clam and relaxing voice. Thank you for the content.

I’d love to watch a whole documentary of this!

I'm so impressed by this film. I love thinking about things beyond belief and this is really making me think. Grate film I appreciate it!

Blue light filter, grayscale, and your soothing voice, what a perfect recipe to fall asleep. God, I wish this is a podcast. Keep up the good work man. 👏

Your content is just excellent, looking forward to more!

Your videos are just perfect and high quality. Good job man. As always very interesting. (:

Such great content, man. Keep it up!

I haven't finished watching yet but the opening was beautiful--I'm definitely hooked

Always such an utter delight to receive your new compilation! From Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦😎🌹

I really enjoyed learning about time through this video! Excellent work!

Sush a great work man. How you presented, linked the subjects, and edited the video. Thumbs up, awesome content.

One note, you got almost all the details about leap years wrong. The leap year system you described is the Julian (Roman) system. In actuality a year is 365.2422 days long and so the Gregorian calendar has the minor modification of skipping 3 leap years every 400 years to more closely approximate that.

Man, I love your channel

You have a very soothing voice. This is a therapeutic vid bro

Incredible intro to the video. Love the concept!

Brilliant, I love the song at the start and melodic and meaningful it is

Always managing to keep my ADHD mind focused and actually being able to retain the information I just received, keep up the good work!

Fascinating. Thank you!

You are so amazing. I look forward to every video.

Another beautiful video, ty!

my favorite videos, thanks man!

Your content is amazing keep it up please xD I love these kind of videos! Much love 💕

I remember watching "waking life" and one of the characters talked about the book of acts. and discussed how time was a shroud pulled over our face. something along those lines. i wanted to ask you for a video covering the book of acts. thanks for the great vid as always.

Great work and good conclusion thank you hochelaga

As always, great video!

Fantastic video, would love to see more videos regarding the topic of time

Great video and great channel, love the content. Keep it up!

YAYUH, new vid 👌 Thanks i was really bored just earlier

Grazie per i bellissimi contenuti che porti ❤️

Soo interesting how do you come up with all of those cool topics I love your channel so much every upload makes my day 10000000 times better

Noo you mixed up Chronos, the titan of time, with Cronos, the father of Zeus and his siblings. Considering how well your videos you usually make, I think this is a big confusion to make but to be fair, it's a letter in difference

This is fascinating. Thank you for sharing.

Love your video! Full of so much awesome information 😊 Although the Titanic sank of 15 April 1912. Last month was 110 years.

i would love to see some longer videos like the one about the covenant ark. all of your videos are really amazing but i binged all of the christian stuff in about 3 nights. maybe something about astrology since it was briefly mentioned in this video

Another fantastic video

Good video. I'm glad you brought up holocene/human era calendars, I have one next to me!

love this channel

Pope Gregory didn’t add leap years! Julius Caesar had already added those himself. But by Gregory’s time the calendar had drifted by like 11 days. So he added that three leap years every four hundred years should be skipped

Love your content man

Dude! You sound like VaatiVidya but with real life lore! I love it!

Listen, as much as I love your videos, the monolith you use as the first image when talking about the Mayan calendar is 1. Not mayan but Meshica (Aztec), 2. Built around the 16th centuries CE, and 3. Probably not a calendar at all (cf. Piedra del Sol / Aztec Sun Stone displayed in Mexico City) Aside from being from the wrong culture, it could be between 1400+ and 1800+ years apart from the earliest evidence of Long Count artifacts in Mesoamerica. That's like using the Mona Lisa as an example of art in the 2nd century Roman Empire, while also arguing it's Celtic, and saying it's a mosaic.

*Just as a note, you are first showing the aztec calendar when talking about the mayan one, then it appears again. Love your channel.
