You find simple mazes or labyrinths, inscribed on stone, right up in Northern Europe in 5,000bce.

A serious case of lack of nationalism.... how could someone not care so much for his country? Disappointing to say the least

You didn't mention the cultural dislocation caused by the eruption of Santorini, in 1600bce.

Cows are half tonne cats. Just don't hassle them when they have calves. About five people a year die in the UK, due to cattle.

Meat and Milk, that is civilisation.

Another great video and story. Thank you!

The horns of the devil are derived from Pan and the Dionysus cult, and are goat horns not oxen.

This is like Reddit on steroids, holy shit.

I have seen the map of United States continent and there was a symbol of simple artwork like an X on it these two things relate

u should credit the cameo appearance of the Azorean Gecko @ 6:34 Maybe Geico could sponsor this vid

Interestingly, the bull symbology appears to be prominent when the spring equinox was in Tauros, about 4230 BC to 2160 BC. From 2160 BC to 1 AD, we have it in Aries. Jesus was born at the end of Aries, and He is called the Lamb of God. From 1 AD to 2160 AD, the spring equinox is in Pisces, and a popular symbol of Christianity is the Jesus Fish. And naturally, starting in 2160 AD, we are heading into the Age of Aquarius. Precession of the Equinoxes is a real thing. Randall Carlson talks a lot about this phenomenon.

So the Athenians hate them so much they make up a story that their Minoans queen have sex with a bull and giving birth to a monster lol

Information dense . Thank you .

how about a name of the product or a website for it ?

This autoplayed after a discussion about abusive age gap relationships while I was semi-listening to it but not looked, I assumed that video was presenting another historic example of historical cultural abusive relationships... oops

So what happens if all the old gods were real? What if the myths were real?

Liked for the cats. Because cats! Of course! <3

I left Uruguay more than 20 years ago, but the "Paisito" will never leave me.

Bravo! I do believe socrates and plato themselves would save you a place at their table. Keep it up ❤

As i recall, the mother of the Minotaur was called Pasiphae .

That's a 35k intro

this video goes hard

This is one of my favorite episodes you've done. Really top notch story telling in this one

you did such a good job with this one. I disagree about the horns on the devil, I believe those came from the image of Pan. And the Catholic cult of the Virgin Mary is another adaptation of Astarte, I sort of wished you had mentioned that. But bravo, soooo good!

Ishtar is now mama mary.. The mother of god and all creations

Ishtar is now mama mary.. The mother of god and all creations

Well anyone that believes this garbage cannot serve JESUS CHRIST.

Ngl I’ve heard the story in mythology maybe hundreds of times and I never thought of it this way… this is going to need some time to soak in… and maybe a few rewatches

Beautiful Crete

9 seconds in I paused the video. “ *I KNEW THE MINOTAUR WAS REAL!* “

I hear there's a pagan golden bull worshipped in New York even today

Tell us about the Argus. Please.

So long as dating methods used by pseudo-science are applied, we may as well draw numbers out of a hat. It'd be no less accurate or "scientific".

The video was interesting, but it was that ending Slide that won me over. "Don't let anyone think for you; most people can barely think for themselves." But don't forget to do regular sanity-checks regardless if they are metaphorical or literal sanity-checks. All of society is just a big old Group-Vote System. People agreeing with each other is basically the only Test-for-Truth. The more people who agree, the more likely something is Truth. So think for yourself, but don't forget to ask other people what they think too.

For Ishtar

I actually heard this theory before in Overly Sarcastic Productions: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eZaan5uZ3serYIU.htmlsi=UA_09p3PHbOfPHnW Don't take it the wrong way though, awesome video.

Question: Why is the eastern coast of the Mediterranean marked here as "Palestine", when that name hadn't yet been invented by the Romans - not for many centuries? Do you not know what it was actually called, or are you purposely trying to erase Israel from the history books?

The topic goes too deep, some scholars spend their lives to learn all the facts, and so, the short video was full of convenient mistakes...

Interesting hypothesis but this retroactive syncretism is dubious, if I am to be completely cromulent about it

Very likely that upright walking hominid would not evolve in only one place

The defeat of the Minotaur would have been one helluva BBQ!

I think this video falls victim to hyperdiffusion, it reduces civilizations to a commonality and then states that must be because it came from an unbroken line from the first empire. I understand the video is more about symbolism and telephone through through the ages. But with the specific examples you brought up it is unsure how much each civilization borrowed and how much came independently from the exceedingly common practice of animal worship.

asstart. giggity

Ishtar is the protagonist of a WIP novel I'm working on!

Very thoughtfully delivered. Good work!

So many flashbacks to Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.

Brutally honest . Thank you

I dont think you have any idea how much I like your videos

Nicely done sir! New sub!

7:14 Aren't those the horns of a goat?
