Vikings used to spit and gargle the water and shared among fellow travellers before going out on a raid
The norse godlike being of alcohol and poetry "Kvasir" was formed from the saliva of the gods. It's thought to be a reference to ancient alcoholic drinks made with berries first chewed by people and then spat.
Between this and xi- xia- ...Ari's videos, I've gone from having a pretty bad day to grinning like a maniac, bursting with affection for my species and the fascinating world we live in. CZcams at its best!
Stay tuned I am releasing another Xiaomanyc and my amazon adventure tomorrow, and two more with tons of new footage! Also yah Ari is the man, a friend for life after this experience, and honestly this was a trip we wont forget!

Some ancient ritual don't make sense at all come on people 🍋🍋🍋
Witnessing the Waorani tribe's time-honored chicha-making ritual in the Amazon serves as a poignant reminder that even in this era of mechanization and digitalization, there are still places where people are profoundly rooted in the land. This practice brings Heraclitus' notion of 'character is destiny' to life. The act of fermenting saliva with cassava manifests an intimate bond with nature, displaying an instinctive understanding that within its vacillations, everything is all linked. As one watches the process of chewing, spitting and fermenting unfold, almost one can make out faint sounds reminiscent of ancient Greek symposiums, wherein drinking, debating and philosophizing were intertwined. Though, what is so beautiful about it isn't how strange it may appear to outsiders; rather, it's our shared human craving for festivities, preserving customs and forming bonds - a dance enduring since the dawn of time.
Beautifully written Dean, I really appreciate this comment! So true and as mentioned in the comments here this was a practice also done by the Vikings as well. Truly Amazing!
Morning David. This video was a little difficult for me to watch especially the chewing and spitting of the yucca to make the chicha. I actually skipped that part and finished watching it afterwards. Very interesting indeed. I really enjoy this new concept of subtitles and written explanation of their history. Keep up the good work. Hope all is well with you, your family and your team. Happy Saturday.🙏🏼❤️🇹🇹🇨🇦
Always thank you Judy! So glad you enjoyed the subtitles and info boxes! We did a lot of research to make sure it is interesting and accurate. More to come soon!!
I don’t know which part I would’ve puked the spitting part or the drinking it 🤢 🤮
But after I heard it can save you from venomous snake bite only then I got some slight sense of respecting it. 😂
No spit drink food for me nope🤣
Boy , that’s a lot of spit from that woman!
this series hits so hard. honestly I don't think I could drink that but I respect your willingness to go all the way with your cultural immersion.
