- Aliens are a religion to so many people. And as crazy as it might sound, I think they're on to something. Just perhaps not the something they're imagining.

Thanks to everyone who asked about our Patreon. I'll put out a full video when I get the time, but for those who want to jump the gun and get on board from the start, here's the link: www.patreon.com/rareearth
It means a huge deal that so many have asked us to start an account. I never thought anyone would watch these videos, let alone support them.
Rare Earth son of a astronaut?
Canadian Astronaut and hero Chris Hadfield.
send my threats to Francesco.
You deserve way more views and subscribers.
Your videos are intelligent and poignant and a potent curiosity inducer. Sometimes they are depressing, sometimes they fill me with hope. But so far they have never failed to question our vision of the world and human societies. Thanks a lot for the hard work you're doing and for sharing with us.
I know this sounds crazy but aliens are real, I saw this documentary where a purple alien came to earth to acquire 6 gems for his golden glove, apparently he needed those items to bring balance to the universe.
elPichirri lmao
Sonic ?

I think the alien was called Anus?
Lmao thanos

When I was a child, I was terrified of Aliens. I once asked my mother about them, and why they're always trying to kill us in movies and t.v. shows. She told that's because we were trying to see ourselves in the aliens, that we attributed our history and desires onto these creatures. That's something that's always stuck with me, and I wonder how many other people can take the proper messages away from this. You're doing great work Evan, thank you. Always an introspective experience.
You had a wise mother.
Your mom was super woke
“Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.”
― Arthur C. Clarke
Ur tiny and weak. That's where the fear comes from; It doesn't really have much to do with being alone.
what losuy quote and a damnable one too. If we were alone then there would be no mortality and each man and woman would do what is right in their own eyes and NOBODY would have a right to judge them.......But since We are not alone, God has set the standards and proves His excitence.- Nothing come from Nothing. Try that quote out
I think this is my favourite Rare Earth video so far, really makes me look at folk tales differently now
This channel is my favorite thing ever on CZcams.
keep up the amazing work
absolutely
Yes
thank you for always making the weird end-text. "never wrestle a pig. they're dirty and never stop screaming." please keep these coming
Also pleaso don't threaten me. Francesco is fair game though.
I laughed so hard :D
Oh no, they're onto us. How long before they realize that we - the Dutch - have been terra-forming this planet to make it hospitable to our kind?
Firefox is red, Explorer is blue. Google+ sucks and Chrome does too. Heightening doorways one inch at a time.
:DDD
Firefox is red, Explorer is blue. Google+ sucks and Chrome does too. Eh, the French saw through it immediately. How's that saying? "God made the world but the Dutch made the Netherlands"?
I'm dutch. Does that make me the alien?! O:
Considering only a small part of the Netherlands is below sea level you sure are doing a shit job.
I'm surprised he didn't mention by name the Sea Invaders of the bronze age collapse. A group of alien invaders was the one of the main causes for a long break the development of human society
I was expecting them too, haha.
If you've heard of the Sea People, you must also know the theories of why the bronze age ended not because of a group of people, but a variety of internal and external problems, just like any other great civilization.
The Roman Empire fell not just because of immigrating tribes fleeing climate change and overpopulation, but because of many fundamental dysfunctions in their society.
Kabcr1 ya for sure I said said one of but I know it was likely one of the more minor aspects as opposed economical difficulties. But for this exact video I think it would be worthy of mentioning. Also it's possible that people of the time thought the invaders were a bigger cause and passed that story down. We may have a better way of understanding the global faults in there society better than they did.
Wow. That's some real food for thought there.
It reminds me of the Vsauce2 video about how the rise of snakes 50+ million years ago hardcoded a snake warning system into our mammalian brains, and it manifests as dragons. Also that we draw aliens that way because we are hardwired to interpret large eyes and brains as more intelligent, and the less necessary part of the body like limbs and clothes to slowly disappear.
That part about orcs and monsters being ancient humans has really shaken me, as if a light went on. Thank you for that
Really interesting and insightful video. Thank you for posting it.

"Sci-fi conspiracy theories are way less scary than just admitting we're a bunch of vocal apes"
Loved it
Sorry to hear about threats, but it doesn't surprise me anymore. There are some very frightened people out there who feel powerless against the confusing world around them. They feel forced to work hard to defend the set of beliefs that they've built up in order to cope. It'd be nice if we as a society could prioritize helping these people somehow.
I love that he dropped, "and as the son of an astronaut," like no big deal. Love this series, full of so many surprises.
I am Dutch and when u said: They came on ships nobody could build. Then I knew it was my people who where the aliens, a history that isn't told to the children in school because we ain't proud of it but we are proud of how rich it made us, millions of people were our slaves and we were rich men, now all we tell our kids is that we traded spices to become rich
This is definitely my favorite video of yours. Love it.
I always knew the Dutch were from Pluto...
Cyrule i mean the comparison of size checks out.
You could even say that they are "the flying dutch"
Hey dat is niet aardig!!
Evan, you must have felt at some points that you have incredible shoes to fill with regard to your father, but I am equally impressed by what you do with these videos. Most underrated content on CZcams.
why do i always end up crying
you are conditioning me to tear up to the words "this is rare earth"
I just realized who you guys are. I had heard of Chris Hadfield and think he is a great person, clearly charismatic and inspiring... It's amazing but it also explains why Evan is so well-educated and well-spoken. Such a harmonious and rare family (pun intended). There is a thirst for people like you these days. In a society that praises mediocrity and shuns intelligence and education, those of us who still crave for pertinent, useful information about the past are starving for series such as this. Congrats on your success so far and thank you for your effort to share these stories with us!
Saw an ad with your dad before this video. 🤣 (Chris Hatfield's Masterclass)
That alternate title though. Hahahah :)
Very good video, as usual. Thanks for all your hard work.
Reminds me of Reinhold Messner's tale about the Yeti. Everybody thought he had lost it, but when he researched the topic together with scientists, he came to an actually rather scientific explanation that it is a kind of bear, its footprints getting distorted by the sun, and its shape shifted by the the colour of its fur when standing in front of snowy beckgrounds. The encounters as found in the tales of the people match very well just like the encounters of modern mountaineers like Messner himself.
Stories you share on this channel are amazing. When I listen to them I always try to imagine how the situation looked like and felt to people back then. I learn a lot from your series. My only worry is that by talking about remote places and local stories of these amazing cultures people like logan paul will discover them, go there and ruin them. But I guess he doesn't watch content like that so we're good :)
Aren't we all floating specks of dust in space ?
Magnartist what was that about? Why did he get threads?
Some people decide to believe it makes more sense for the speck of dust to be an UFO.
We are a speck on a rock that is a speck in the solar system that is a speck in the galaxy that is a speck in the super cluster and so on and so forth.
Conclusion. Everything is a spec of dust
This may just be the most-important video you've so far shot and published on this channel, Evan!
I like how Evan always touches on some sensitive topics almost no one would dare,gotta say matches much to my mindset
This video says everything I've been staying my whole life about myths being ancient memories.
Who are you?
Son of an Astronaut, Speaker of the mind, Debater of truth, The Mystique of Life, Unveiler of Thoughts, The great Narrator, The traveling philosopher, Harbinger of Rare Earth.
Totally worth to spent my time here.Not only learned about the new culture but learned a lesson to be a good civilised person.
2:17 wait?! You're a son of an astrounaut!?
Chris Hadfield. The coolest one, by the way.
brother. chris hatfield is his brother
No Gizjr, he's his son, read Chris' wikipedia, it says Evan Hadfield is his son
Look at some of the earlier videos on this channel
Gizjr TheAssBLastermaster chris is his dad....
This was fantastic. The video ended and was just.. awestruck. I wish there was more journalism/ content in general like this! So well articulated, so insightful.. please don't stop rare earth!
That was a nice shot at the end. The statues were looking out for alien ships on the horizon.
Rare Earth is one of the best channels in YT, the monologue was great and the footage breathtaking. Thanks for this.
"The usual example given to illustrate an Outside Context Problem was imagining you were a tribe on a largish, fertile island; you'd tamed the land, invented the wheel or writing or whatever, the neighbors were cooperative or enslaved but at any rate peaceful and you were busy raising temples to yourself with all the excess productive capacity you had, you were in a position of near-absolute power and control which your hallowed ancestors could hardly have dreamed of and the whole situation was just running along nicely like a canoe on wet grass... when suddenly this bristling lump of iron appears sailless and trailing steam in the bay and these guys carrying long funny-looking sticks come ashore and announce you've just been discovered, you're all subjects of the Emperor now, he's keen on presents called tax and these bright-eyed holy men would like a word with your priests."
I think it was C.S.Lewis who attributed the rise in popularity of science fiction in the 1920's/30's to the fact that we had simply run out of mystery on Earth. Until then, fiction and fantasy were at the depths of the oceans, the tops of mountains, the centre of the Earth. We reached a point where we knew what was there, even if we hadn't been. So we started imagining the stars instead.
This video reminded me really sharply of that, because I suppose it's just another side of the way we tell stories and pass on lessons.
This is rare for a series this good to be on CZcams
One of the best channels on CZcams at this point. Glad it gets more known and grows steadily.
This was so, so good. Please do more like this.
Ps. What was that about the spec of dust.
This video just messes with my mind everytime I watch it. In a good way.
I started watch theese series, because you talked about japan, and im going there this year, but now you are making vídeos in my country, and i dont know why, it makes me happy. Hope you can make something in Santiago.
I would argue that because of hubris many humans tend to overlook the fact that we too are an invasive species. Nonetheless the quality of your videos keeps surpassing the previous ones! Great work.
this is the best series in youtube love it
I'm so glad you changed the icon for the channel!
"They spoke a language nobody could understand".
Well, i can imagine.
The Mega-fauna extinction was mostly due to climate change rather then over hunting. Over-hunting did not help, but when the mammoths steppes and great plains were overtaken by forest, swamps and rivers, large animals unable to digest the trees and forest plants did not survive. The plains surrendered to forest, and the mammoths starved. There are a few other theories out there including migration of invasive predators or in some cases, natural disasters like mega-floods, but for the most part, climate change/environment change.
Evan and Francesco, you were by far the best find on youtube ever. Thank you once again for an insightful video.
Keep up the good work, it makes us think.
Recent findings actually suggest that homo sapiens and neandertalis never coexisted, the most recent neanderthal remains were supposedly dated wrong and are now considered to be older than the earliest homo sapiens in the area. Not sure whether that theory is true but it sounds reasonable
thank your for making videos like these. the philosophical talks alongside the comforting visuals, they never fail to amaze me.
Btw, In spanish, we do pronounce the "s" in "isla". So it is like the "es" in "easter", plus the "la" in "ladder"
Greetings from Chile!
It's great to see content from one of ny favourite channels, featuring pieces of my culture
dont even bother asking an american to pronounce iberic sounds right
SomeOne He's Canadian.
doesnt change much
True, both speak boring old (new) norman influenced English. Perfect for a homogeneous world.
+SomeOne I don't know about Latin Americans, but the reverse is certainly true for Spanish people pronouncing English sounds. Vamos al cine a ver Estar Gwars. Say what? ^^ Once I was guilty of doing the exact opposite of what the OP described. I was talking to a friend about gay rights in Spain and trying to figure out why it had opened up to the idea fairly easily despite having very strong Catholic roots (compared to say France, where Catholicism is less rooted yet the country took longer to recognize gay rights). Pecado became pescado. Apparently I had asked him whether his grandmother thought homosexuality was a fish. Sure. Makes sense. ^^ Then of course there are those situations where dialectal forms of Spanish do drop the S, which can be confusing. In Andalucia, a girl walks up to me and my group of friends and says "de donde soy", which struck me as an odd philosophical question to ask to a stranger, and so I told her that. Where am I from? Where am I going? What does it all mean? Of course it was just "de donde sois" without the final S. Language is a bitch but man you sure get a lot of laughs when you're trying to learn. ^^
Wow you and your old man have so much more in common than I expected.
Love the ending credits title "A Gentle Probe Into an Alien's Dark Side" Very clever double entendre. On the one hand, briefly discussing Dutch colonial (the "aliens") poor treatment of natives, and the other meaning is a twist on the supposed reports of what happens to UFO alien abductees while being physically examined.
I feel this channel slowly becoming exurb1a levels of existential.
Thanks Evan, that was amazing, I'd never given thought to how aliens from outer space could be related to and mirror the alien invasion experience of our societies. Storytelling is one of the major (if not the prime thing) that makes us human, and for these kind of traumatic events to not be codified into stories (and thus morph into an underlying context/worry) would be strange and I think unlikely. Even if we have been the scary invaders, deep down we know that if we can be such a thing, so too could such a thing exist out there and thus do the same to us. Fascinating. Thanks for a wonderful series and sorry that you're receiving threats... :/
I wish i could remember the name but this ties closely to a video ive watched about our primal fears and nightmares. Well worth searching for.
The most Americans discussed aliens was in the 1950s when anxiety of the soviet threat was at its highest. UFOs represented Soviet craft.
I am saddened that anyone would threaten you, Evan. Stay safe and please keep bringing us these stories.
My favourite channel on CZcams
You have such great content that I'm always surprised to see views under 100k. Keep up the good work!
Your reluctance to make this video is well-founded. As soon as the word 'alien' shows up, it drags out the riffraff. In fact, no matter what you say on any topic -- whenever you make reality-based assertions, it impinges on someone's Twilight Zone version of the Universe. Instead of listening and considering and modifying their thinking where appropriate, too many people would rather plug their ears and issue threats -- and it is getting worse by the day.
Very well put together and presented, really enjoying the content your putting out. Fascinating look at the topic, makes perfect sense, love the different perspective.
Amazing video, I'd just like to offer a bit of constructive criticism. You start off the video by using the therm alien to mean foreigners or outsiders, but later transition to using the therm to mean extraterrestrial beings. That transition is sudden and could lead to confusion. You could have smoothed the transition by saying something like "now let us talk about a different kind of alien" or something along those lines.
Mind you, I don't have any kind of storytelling or writing credentials, so take this with a grain of salt. It is clear to me that you are a masterful storyteller and have achieved much more than I have at this point.
I've never considered stories of extraterrestrial aliens in this light before, but it makes a lot of sense now that I have. I wonder if a similar link between dragons and dinosaurs (or dinosaur like large reptiles) exists, albeit more from found fossils and drawing similarities to reptiles that existed at the time.
0:52 - amaaazing shot!
thanks for a great video. storytelling + the human condition.
In a caravan... the current xenophobia being whipped to a frothy meringue by our leerful feeder is that same brand of myth. I think it survives because it’s useful for those in power to stay in power. There always has to be a villain, a threat, an invader.
I love your rework of the channel my dude.
Really !! Did you came to Chile I saw all your videos about Japan and continue view your series. I never think that my country could be interested to you to make some chapter. Greeting from Chile.
These videos are actually interesting and keep me coming for more but I've already watched them all lol
I have actually witness aliens entering into Arizona from Mexico! ;- )
Can you *please* talk about the cargo cults? It's very similar to this social phenomena, only observed much recently, during WWII to be exact.
One things for sure, when they come (or return) you, me, her, him, ain’t gonna me so ego centric anymore.
Never forget the Fair Folk, sometimes they're malevolent, other times they're benign, but they're always powerful and dangerous.
Wow, this video rocked my mind. Your best yet!
So powerful. Glad I found this channel. Thank you!
Hey guys, can you guys do a series on the Mossi people of Burkina Faso? I'm mossi and most of my family lives in Burkina, and I think it would be very interesting to do a series in burkina :)
This makes me want to watch Starship Troopers
5:50 I haven't seen all the extinct hominin fossils out there, but every one I have seen has been shorter than Homo sapiens. Homo neanderthalensis was close, so it's possible that over millennia a few individuals were that large (as some are today), but I see no reason to expect any species was so tall.
I've been watching you guys for awhile, keep up the slow insightful talking.
My birthday is on April 5th and I was always curious about aliens
Brilliant . Best aliens video I have seen on you tube!
I'm pretty sure the alien ship was just a large shipment of Dristan. To clear the sinus colds of those statue heads.
Best channel ever.
Everybody is talking about "Where are aliens?"
But nobody is talking about "How are aliens?"
That makes so much sense.
The aliens we encounter will be dead bacteria if we're lucky. If we find live ones, our luck might run out.
I love Rare Earth
Candace Farrell i love you
Wow! this changed my perspective on story telling
Really unique channel.. love it
I love reading the outro screen. I like how its sometimes funny ^^. :empty threat on your life: ♥ keep it up evan!
I believe there's more cultural scars than we know... People in England didn't build along the coast because of "bad luck" from the sea up until the Elizabethan era. What we now know is there was a massive tsunami as the ice age ended, about 7,000 years ago, wiping out most of the coastline... Could that have caused English in the Elizabethan era to call the sea "bad luck"? I think so.
Most Native American cultures place a high value on using only what is needed... This seems like a lesson that was learned from experience. And it seems the megafauna of North and South America died out around the same time the first peoples of the Americas arrived... Did they cause the mass extinction or the climate? Nobody knows, but one way or the other... to me it seems likely that's why Native peoples place such a high value on not taking more than is needed.
1:02 You got me good, sir. Real good.
We explorers are the aliens who arrive in strange ships to destroy and abduct, we persistence hunters are the zombies who are too slow to catch you but too steady to ever be shaken off, we the quaternary extinction event are the superintelligence that immediately abused its power to enslave and eat everything, we scientists and soldiers are the sorcerors who sold our souls to the devil and then used that power for evil, and we poets and politicians are even the sinister, ant-like hive-mind that's individually useless but grows exponentially in power and greed as more bodies are connected into an intelligent superorganism by the telepathy of acoustic waves formed and transmitted through special organs for encoding thoughts.
Great video!
This man is a genius.
Well said. Fear of disease is a root of prejudice and discrimination. Unfortunately there is precedent setting those fears in stone.... it will take a vast amount of work to totally overcome those innate beliefs....
- wait. We were the aliens?
- always has been
It’s a pity you didn’t tell the story of the Selknam in Tierra del Fuego, for me, the rarest story in Chile. Look up for it, it was a society built on the war between men and women. Truly fascinating
jacac I'm aware of it, but the costs to fly two people that far South on top of the trip to the mainland just for a single story couldn't be justified. I don't have any funding except for my personal funds and Patreon, and that wouldn't come close to touching the costs of production.
It's completely understandable. Anyway, I think you're doing an amazing job. I got to your videos by chance, just looking something about Valparaíso. Now I'm addicted. Thank you a lot for them :-)
I love this Channel !
Excellent video about a subject near and dear to me heart.
Irish have never really invaded anywhere.
Okay, we did *try* to invade canada that one time, but the only manner in which we've ever really resembled aliens is like those aliens from District Nine
