Title : What is the Leviathan? - (Exploring the Gargantuan Biblical Monster of the Sea) - Zábava
Hey hope you enjoy this one, I'm off to go work on Darkworld episode 3 for Halloween so I'll see you then.
Cya later will be waiting for ya return 😊
new episode of garbage man?
Anyone else notice that my name is byf and mythology have the same voice
I'm enjoying this.
Thanks for this one and can you please do a Monkey King (China's mythology) video on the future 🤗
Not just The Bible and Mesopotamia,there are mythical stories of sky deities battling giant reptilian monsters.
Such as
Ra vs Apophis
Thor vs Jormungander
Zeus vs Typhon
Susano vs Orochi
Baal vs Lotan
Tezcatlipoca vs Cipatli
and Indra vs Vritra
It's called Chaoskampf.
& the Rainbow Serpent in Australia's indigenous mythology + many more, you gotta think that something like this exists or atleast once did
Generally, it's the storm deity battling the sea monster. Or a god represented by a bird, particularly an eagle, fighting a serpent/reptile.
Reminds me of Godzilla: King of the Monsters in which Godzilla fought against King Ghidorah and Rodan (some of the myths mentioned were mentioned in the official novelization).
@@nicholaslienandjaja1815 That's gotta be where they got the idea for Godzilla
Kind of a shame that whenever Leviathan and Behemoth get mentioned, people rarely mention Ziz, the massive flying creature that dominated the air and completed a trifecta of sorts. It's not as widely known as the more famous Leviathan and Behemoth, and as a result, doesn't get as talked about. But when you find out about it, it makes discussing these giant legendary creatures even more interesting.
Where is Ziz in any biblical books? I haven't come across it yet, this is the first time I've heard of it. I have many biblical books, but I haven't read everything yet.
@@cindyledbetter2228 If my memory serves, Ziz isn't found in the Bible, or in any of the modern and mainstream variants of it for that matter. While I'm not entirely certain where exactly it is mentioned, I have a gut feeling it may either be in the Torah/Talmud(?) or could be a part of a more esoteric Jewish book. Sadly, since I haven't looked into Ziz very often and have gone so long without thinking of it, all I can really recall about it is its name and the fact it tends to be a forgotten and obscure third giant creature in Judeo-Christian lore. Chances are I could be wrong about a lot of this, but I'm hoping there's some truth here and there, so that if anyone wants to do the research, they can be pointed in the right direction to start.
Exactly! It’s probably because creatures from the sea were more easily seen and link to bible verses. (Imagine seeing a whale for the first time for ancient man)
On land we see large animals and the term Behemoth became synonymous with anything large, like mammoth is now. (Mammoth originally meant ‘earth mole’)
And as time went by dragons, could by described as large land monsters, large sea serpents and flying fire breathers. So, they took their place I guess.
Not to mention YHWH the copper dragon of Isreal
What does the Ziz look like does it has a description?
I’d enjoy more videos like this talking about a general monster or myth through multiple cultures. Great video👍
Agreed - Comparative mythology is absolutely fascinating. Mr. Mythos and Fortress of Lugh both have EXCELLENT videos regarding Dragons, Serpents, etc, as well as their Storm God adversaries. I'd love to see Mythology & Fiction Explained do the same. I like this format.
Agreed
Same. Gods are nice, but way too discussed.
Same
Do it 👍
So, if the Leviathan is a primordial dragon sleeping at the bottom of the ocean...
Does that mean he dreams?
Azathoth vibes
@@XxDeathxX509 Don't you mean Cthulhu?
You're comment looks good. But asking questions means your clueless of what a Leviathan is. Maybe it's for the best. Humans aren't supposed to know them nor their existence. Like most of the beings that exists here right now, people say, that doesn't. But go on. You'll get there.. maybe.. if we let you.
@@hewhoshallnotbenamed8228 go away role player.
Maybe we are just its nightmares.
Oh, would be cool to see the Phoenix or even the Fenghuang (called the Chinese phoenix) talked about too!
If M&FE did a video on the Fenghuang, wouldn't that also require one on the Duruqi'lin (assuming I spelled that right), the Chinese Unicorn, as well?
@@kitirena_koneko I'd love to see it. More mythology is always welcomed
@@failedleopard3685 I agree! Especially because if I recall correctly, the Chinese Phoenix and Unicorn, the Fenghuang and Duru-chi'lin, are often paired off with each other as opposites. I'd love to know if that's true, or if I confused two other creatures accidentally.
@@kitirena_koneko There is Qilin (in pinyin) or Ch'ilin (in Wade Giles). Where do you read that has the part "duru" from? I am just curious.
@@JeroLionheart I've read in a couple of places that Duru-Kirin or Duru-Kilin is the name of the species, and that the males are called "duru" while the females are "kilin", and that females are larger and more powerful than males, both physically and magically.
You mentioned leviathan and behemoth, could have also mentioned the ziz, the bird that is part of the trio.
The ziz is a enormous griffin like bird she is the ruler of all skies..u ever seen Pokémon all those griffin like Pokémon are inspired by the ziz she got four legs like a lion that’s where they got the idea frm..the ziz is very enormous jus like the other two great beast they’re all above the laws of physics...she can stand in the ocean and only her legs will be in the water..if she fly in the air and spread her wings she would be seen across the entire world
@@ygrnflacko Pokémon did take inspiration with the myth, but where they did pull a heavier inspiration for was when they created the Legendary trio for Hoenn, Kyogre being Leviathan, Groudon being Behemoth and Rayquaza being Ziz.
@@andyquinn3996 yep also speaking of that imo the coolest one is Leviathan but in Pokémon imo the coolest one is rayquaza
Everyone forgets ziz
@@somehuman1901 I know, for some reason, it's the one that gets the least ammount of attention.
I like to think that the Leviathan was a creature so massive and vast, that possibly all the different depictions of her may all be true, it’s just she’s too big for us humans to truly comprehend. Much like how an ant would have trouble comprehending us. Now on the matter of her being truly evil or not, I honestly think it’s more complicated. How can we truly understand a primordial creature of the ancient ocean, let alone assume it follows our understanding of morality?
Would it be compared to the Loch Ness monster? Or Godzilla? Or perhaps even Cthulhu..?
Leviathan I think is probably able to be compared with Cthulu in the sense that they can only be described generally due to them being a beast beyond our understanding. A creature stronger than humanity could ever hope to be is a very powerful creature and we have no real certainty on what it actually is other than the fact it's a sea dragon thingy which is a pretty vague description for a time where dragons could be anything really. @@blaxpoitation8528
Always great! Thankyou for your hard work.
Wonderful animations! The channel just keeps getting better.
Thank you - fascinating and well researched as always
Always enjoy watching your videos👏🏽
I'm impressed !! This video was very thorough and biblically accurate not to even mention all the research that had to have been done to talk about the mythological aspects; this is a great program - I'm so glad I subscribed. 😀😀😃😃😄😄
I love the way numerous schools of thought, various myths, and biblical texts sre brought to bear upon the majestic and monstrous Leviathon.
This is very much appreciated information, lad; thanks!
I enjoyed this but it could have easily been a longer video.
Jormungandr of norse mythology, but perhaps most interesting, Apep, the chaos serpent of ancient Egyptian mythology.
So many different mythologies from so many different eras speak of the same being.
We still haven't explored all of the ocean, what if the Leviathan lie dormant still? Perhaps we will witness it one day. Pray not.
Yeah but most of that shit is just empty nothingness
@@mostlynormal9467 Not true. There is plenty of our trash at the bottom.
I think it's a weird primal memory trying to refer to the devil but using snakes, cuz of evolution
Prey nought
Well the scariest monster is human after all bec of how fvck up our knowlegde
Just found this channel I demand more!❤️
Excellent video! I really appreciate the artwork
This was really cool! Thanks for the lesson
Your timing is God like I was just searching up videos of the leviathan just yesterday
It sounds to me like the Leviathan suffers from the same affliction all folklore and mythological creatures suffer from. Whoever writes about them adds something or takes something away from them. Think of any monster we have now, the vampire or the werewolf for instance often have something changed about them depending on the culture or whoever is writing about them. For instance the werewolf could be subdued by a cross or some other holy instrument, but that has dropped by the wayside. In the past the werewolf could come out at all hours, but then the movies came along and they only came out at the full moon, and silver bullets could kill them and not much else - which isn't always the case. Even in the Bible which the writers might be drawing upon several different sources is going to be having the same problems with their monsters.
One way to look at the resistance to holy immunity could be explained by today's culture. It takes *real* something truly holy to harm them. But who is definitely holy? What hasn't been tainted? As in the rewriting of the monster, so much as been rewritten in religion in hopes of placating and converting others. Does the symbol of the Flying Spaghetti Monster count as holy? Or only the cross - and if so, does it have to be baptized (or created) by a truly holy person in a truly holy church with absolutely holy faith?
I do agree with what you say. The inconsistencies ruin most any monster.
Or perhaps different cultures have called different things by a similar name.
What else can a 'primitive' people call a giant monster besides 'giant monster'?
Modern interpretations aside here, obviously we all know that pop culture has destroyed all real culture at this point.
We combine everything we know about, for my particular point here, 'Zombies', under one category and modern views of them take from everywhere to create new forms of them.
But a Haitian zombie is a much different beast from a modern infection-based zombie or a risen undead from other myths or pop culture. At this point though, we call most living-dead things zombies.
The same is true of *every modern reinterpretation of ancient-ish myths.
@@corbin_4738 You are the only one comment worth reading. It appears these people doesn't seem to have a fatty tissue inside their hallowed skulls. Noice very impressive. But it isn't easy to rid of unholy force's. Exorcism doesn't work, physical weapon's doesn't work, holy element doesn't work. You do the math. They use to work, in the lost era's of time when we used to say, "The year of our lord". When certain hunter's existed. Food for thought. 🤘🏽😈
@@hewhoshallnotbenamed8228, if you had a "fatty tissue" inside your head, your grammar might not be so atrocious.
@@corbin_4738 I had a stroke trying to read your comment mister intellectual atheist, perhaps if you corrected your grammar then the text could be comprehensable.
Nice! my favorite monster! I like to imagine it as a sea serpent, but the whale version is what inspired Kyogre, a legendary Pokemon that is part of a trio along with Groudon who is based off of the behemoth and Rayquaza who is based off of Ziz but is a Dragon instead of a bird
Nerd smh
Cool I didn't know that
@@jonathansoko5368 the irony. Comes to the comment section of a leviathan video on CZcams to try and throw judgement. You clown
The griffin type of Pokémon came frm the ziz bird she is above our laws of physics an enormous griffin like bird with four legs like a lion and is the ruler of the skies...the rayquaza is frm the leviathan along wit the Pokémon gyarados..the idea of Godzilla comes frm the behemoth but he is bigger than Godzilla..a lot of these majestic movies,shows, and games aren’t random ideas..life is more fairytale than they want us to believe
@@ygrnflacko I see we have a child around
Hey man, great vid. Could you also make one about the great flood? Of all the events in the ancient world this one is my favorite. Appearing in multiple cultures, even mentioned in the oldest literature (epic of gilgamesh). Also really plausible since ancient civilizations live near rivers, so flooding makes sense.
Out of all videos of leviathan, this one is the best.
Thanks you mythology &fiction explained for the video 👍👍🥷.
I loved this one! Sea monsters are some of my favourite legendary creatures :)
This video was nice. In my faith he is a deity and it is nice to have a video that covers some of the different inspirations for Leviathan.
Fantastic video! I'm wondering if you have one on The Behemoth too, and if not if you'd ever consider doing it!
For so many cultures to have conjured up a gargantuan sea monster in their respective folklore, one can't help but wonder if it were indeed inspired by a long extinct species of sea creature, like how many also believe the Loch Ness Monster to be in fact a Plesiosaurus. Now I'm no expert on Plesiosauri and I definitely won't claim that they specifically were so widely spread that they appeared all over the world to inspire everybody's respective sea-demon, but I do think that some of the aquatic creatures we commonly associate with what we call dinosaurs (or at least their descendants) were still present in the days of early human civilizations and the classical period.
Nope they were just whale penises
@@lordmoncef5494 whales don't live in the loch
@@glarbo3965 realistic and strangely shaped driftwood did

Makes sense
@@lordmoncef5494, they were dorks?
fun fact-the word “Leviathan” לוויתן in Hebrew,literally translates to Whale

@@brandondriver99 Abel, son of Adam, was a shepherd.
@@GypsyLil okay? Your point?
@Auhuhhuu I don't understand what his point is, so I'm asking him to clarify before I correct what im assuming he is pointing out.
Vulcan eyebrow rises slightly, "Facinating".
Love your content
It is possible that the mate of Leviathan that God separated her from is Rahab, another Abyss dragon in Biblical Mythology.
It’s possible
@GloneTonio ⚜ indeed.😭
Rahab was not a dragon, you imbecile.
@@Sparky71870 you're a moron.
"In medieval Jewish folklore, Rahab (splendour) is a mythical sea monster, a dragon of the waters, the "demonic angel of the sea". Rahab represents the primordial abyss, the water-dragon of darkness and chaos, comparable to Leviathan and Tiamat. "
No it's not possible because the Bible is fictional garbage.
Thank You for this ❤
Hi… great video as always.. can you do more videos on magick? i saw your magic playlist and i thought they were great 😊
Will you ever do a video like this on the Boogieman? I remember seeing something like that in your intro with the creature and the boy playing video games. I think it would be a really interesting video
Good video. Thank you.😁
Your channel is amazing.
I just finished the part of supernatural where the leviathans are the main enemy of the season so this was perfect timing!
same lol
In my world a leviathan is a title for any large sea creature that inhabits the ocean. They are non related species of leviathan as some are sharks, whales or any other things that dwell in the deep.
Crocodiles is what i read.
I'm getting Subnautica Flashbacks... Reaper Leviathan, Ghost Leviathan, etc.
The leviathan is one of one and he been alive since the earth was created in parts of the waters no man will ever be able to reach
@@ygrnflacko "in the abyss over the fountains of the waters" is what I'm sure I read in Enoch. And if man could reach it, man would be destroyed
I suspect the crocodile was one of the main inspirations for the leviathan's features, but as many here have pointed out, legends about great serpents are pretty common.
Fun fact, many iterations of the leviathan, such as the biblical version, describe the leviathan as a fire breathing entity. What makes this fun, is the fact that relatively recently (a few years ago), the skull of a massive crocodilian creature was found, and it's nostrils had scorch marks on the inside, as though it had extreme heat either being breathed in (which would have caused scorching else where on the skull), or being breathed out. Pointless information for the day.
Cool never heard that do you have a source
@@serahkonner Unfortunately I don't. This was something I found years ago, and I don't recall the source. So, take the unverifiable information as you will.
@@ikeillue8385 i was just curious thanks for messaging me.
@@serahkonner Sorry I could be of more help.
The only Leviathan I know of is the demon prince of Envy.
All hail the great noodle devil
that's a helluva knowledge
I'm not disagreeing, just curious. How does a demon prince of Envy get associated with a destructive gargantuan sea serpent?
@@corbin_4738 One of the biggest reasons is because in an effort to make an entire group of people convert to a different religion they would say their gods are just biblical characters going by a different name.
If ur alive when god unleash the three great beast on earth ur goin to kno this leviathan too he is the original 1of 1 named by god himself
It’s intriguing that so many mythical creatures appear across many different cultures around the world and throughout history, even the story of “The Great Flood”. I get that there’s archetypal-type monsters/events that are more symbolic in meaning but it makes ya wonder _”what if..?”_
What if what?
I'm curious
Perhaps there was a local tsunami in the area at the time, which caused this flood to happen, and why so many different cultures have a story of a "Great Flood".
At some point in most regions devastating flood is bound to happen, i would imagine "a flood but like, bigger" would be a pretty reasonable depiction of the end of the world, especially if you watch your entire village be ravaged by one, as your house and livestock get swiped away by the waters.
Considering the ice age was a thing, it could very well have something to do with sea levels, although so far iirc we havent found enough evidence to support this theory but who knows?
thats my take on it at least, i have the Occam's Razor take on this one.
In the MonsterVerse, Leviathan is one of the many Titans that were awakened by King Ghidorah. Its containment was in Loch Ness, which means that Leviathan is also known as the Loch Ness Monster.
And speaking of Tiamat, she makes an appearance in the comic Godzilla: Dominion where she fought against Godzilla.
Read the godzilla dominion comic
Interesting. I’ve always thought the same, or something akin to the Cthulhu mythos..
When I first started watching, I immediately thought of Loki's son, Jörmungandr the serpent that encircles the world 🤷♀️
Was there any explanation for having Loki’s son be a snake?
@@lilbill7385 nope Jormungandr was never mentioned. It's just where my imagination went when he was describing the creature 🤷♀️
@@lilbill7385 cuz in ancient times the most evil animal is the serpent
@@lordmoncef5494 dolphins are honestly more evil than snakes
@@lilbill7385 why so?
Loved the vid. I think I heard of the idea that early humans might've dig up dinosaur bones or whale bones and created the tale of the leviathan around it. There are some creationists that believe that early humans might've lived briefly around the dinosaurs before and during the time of Flood because life, though young, lived for almost 1000 years.
Yassssss missed you!!!!!!
Please post more videos about
-Cronos
-Rhea
Wait. Did you re-upload this because I could’ve sworn I saw this before
Please post more videos about Greek Mythology about early mythology.Thank You
Another beautiful video, I hope one day you cover the Hawaiian legends, particularly Pele the goddess of fire & volcanoes.
Do one about Yaldabaoth!
Everybody knows the leviathan were those weird monsters, all teeth, Sam and Dean took care of them. Y'all need to keep up here. This is all explained by Cas
You beat me to it
"The rise of dick" 🤣🤣🤣
Bobby Singer: [Gives Sheriff Mills the leviathans severed head in a box] Don't open it. Even if it starts talking. Especially if it starts talking
Who knew borax could hurt ancient monsters.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think its true appearance inspired all of the different descriptions we see/read
I enjoyed this video especially on my birthday.
Great video .
Could you please make a video about the behemoth?
Your work is amazing, your videos are really interesting. Go on.
Great i love such a stories too👍❤
Leviathan is also a fun roller coaster at Canada’s Wonderland. It’s the park’s current poster ride I guess you could think of it as that. I actually haven’t been to Wonderland since before they put in Leviathan‘s counterpart, Behemoth. Now I know why that is
Also this reminds me of Groundon and Kyogre from Pokémon a little
Havent watched the vid yet but call of cthulu has been on my mind a lot today and I realize one of my favorite yet simple quotes of all time comes from Leviathans first introduction in the game. It says "I am the one men named 'Leviathan', not because of the scale of my terrestrial form, but as a reminder of the immensity of my knowledge." Its a powerful statement.
I'm very scared of the ocean btw.
Until science thouroughly proves there *arent giant evil sea monsters down there, I'll happily believe there are and stay far away.
Do a collab with FilmComics Explained.
Awesome video.
Great video...
I like the interpretation of the leviathan that they did it in that movie Atlantis.
6:20 - "Great fire breathing monster with impenetrable scales"
A fire breathing monster that sleeps at the bottom of the ocean and brings destruction when it rises. So the leviathan is Godzilla
Do you think you can find out more about the fall of the angels and who they were. Thank you. And I love your videos. Your awesome.
Always searching out more info about the leviathan and behemoth...
The "Seven Headed Dragon" that God fights is Revelation is none other than a consolidation of the "Seven Deadly Sins".
That has been interpreted many ways. When I was younger, I was told it was 7 countries that would be at war w America. Obviously that waa a nationalist interpretation that god would intervene and destroy them. This is no different than Nostradamus' predictions. People can spin them into whatever they want to. That doesn't make their interpretation correct.
It referred to the 7 hills of Rome
@@SethHMG yeah. I've heard that interpretation too. Who knows?
@@iceicekodi6402 don’t think we’ll ever know for sure.
@@SethHMG Seven Hills were mentioned elsewhere in Revelation. This seems to have been a moral rather than physical entity.
So shall we expect Behemoth and maybe Ziz? But let's start with the one with the most info on
Funny I have heard the name Leviathan monster all my life but had almost no description of this thing until Lovecraft game had it as a giant whale thing that served Cthulhu so I’m glad that I finally learned what this thing is.
Read the Bible. It tells you all about leviathan
Reminds me of Dartz from Yugi-Oh
Interesting stories.
Please make 🙏 more new stories thay are brilliant 👏
I was just blurting about a leviathan earlier today.
when i think of leviathan i think of some huge sea creature as a kinda vague thing but i dont think of it as breathing fire
Rhyme of the ancient mariner. Love the channel.
The best noodles devil 😈. I so envious about her!
I love this channel
Pretty sure it's what Darts wanted to use to eat the sun in season four
Yes, exactly. Hell, even the thumbnail art in the video looks almost identical in design to the Orichalcos God Leviathan.
So does that make The Crimson Dragon God?
Leviathan has been covered, then it stands to reason Behemoth and the Ziz can be great follow ups also.
Very cool thank you
May I add, tiamaat and apsu
May be perceived as two polarizing
Energies existing within all creation
Magnetic and Electric.
I love these videos
It seems to me that the leviathan was originally a crocodile. I think there's a line in Job that talks about it dragging itself through the mud, which rules out it being a whale (alongside the repeated descriptions of scales). The beasts in that book describe African megafauna fairly well, excluding the obvious embellishments, such as the behemoth being an elephant and the unicorn being a rhino. The dragon St. George was supposed to have slain was likely a Nile monitor in North Africa, and some of the earliest depictions show it as literally a giant lizard. It's easy to make a monster out of an animal that just about nobody in your region is familiar with, or just as well, exaggerating based on fear or ego. Imaging what kind of monster they would've created if someone came from the north and tried to describe a bear they encountered.
A hulking man coated in fur, bestial in manner. Hands as large as a man's torso with claws able to cut through armor. Their call strikes terror into even the stoutest warrior, and discourages woodsman from approaching.
Does a Croc kindle coals in its throat and brings out fire?
@@ronj7658 Did you not read where I said "obvious embellishments" and "exaggerating based on fear or ego", i.e. completely made up?
Leviathan would eat crocodiles like peanuts! So no, he's nothing like a crocodile.
This is pretty cool
Can you do a video on the book of revelation?
Awesome
Please do a video about a draconuquus. (Sorry if I misspelled it)
Could you give advice on how to write a supernatural/urban fantasy. I'm interested in writing comics similar to Supernatural(tv show) and Hellboy. But how do you write a modern supernatural story that has a decent plot.
I love this video
Question: Have you considered going over the Aradia mythology?
I've always felt demons were more of an internal struggle, not physical manifestations. They could have physical form I suppose, but it seems more like the 'demon of Envy' is a reference to the voice/feeling that drives on to be envious. Likely because more harm than good comes from envy. The same goes for Lust, Greed, etc. It's always an emotional feeling that leads a person to lusting or being greedy. That need to put other things secondary in life, perhaps even the Lord Himself, for the sake of a dollar or a night of passion.
Where can I find that intro animation? i need it for an important project. thanks!
Hail Leviathan! Great Therion album, highly recommend
Thank you for having the human decency to make your ad/sponsor a skippable chapter
Leviathan in Hebrew means whale.
Behemoth in Hebrew means mule.
Neither of those animals match the description in Job though.
Cool video. I remember hearing about the creature in church.
If I remember correctly I think Gabriel the Angel killed one too. It was during the 40 years in the wilderness. Just after the exodus from Egypt.
Can you make some videos about some Celtic gods and monsters like Balor and Crom Cruach?
Best video ever.
The miraculous catch
Like dragons it probably came from a prehistoric animal. In Job it "boiled" the sea, which to me sounds like it displaced much water. Probably it was an animal that wasn't seen much (like with whales, 90% of the creature is below the surface. Like the Collosal Squid it might be rare or a deep sea creature. It may even have BEEN a C Squid for all we know.)
I truly believe these legends came from creatures that really existed, and in true human fashion we tacked things on to make it more fascinating :)
Your reference to Tiamet, reminded me of Loki's child, Jormungandr, the Midgard Serpent.
Do you think you can do a video on Chione the goddess of snow
