- Whether it’s Marvel’s Thor, Disney’s Moana, or those Titans that clashed in that movie, pantheons of mythic heroes are everywhere in popular culture. But those Hollywood films barely even begin to scratch the surface of the wild stories our ancestors have told since time began.

When I was in India everyone called cannabis 'ganja' rather than 'bhang', but saying 'Boom Shiva' when toking on a chillum was pretty much universal.
Because bhang does not mean cannabis, bhang means beverage made by mixing and boiling ganja (cannabis), milk and opium seeds.
A squirrel being a troublemaker? I can believe that.
Omg that visual From ''startgate'' took me all the way back 😊
Interesting about Hawaii. Marine biologists say that if there was ever a case for life coming from alien sources, it would be found with the octopus.
Came to the channel for the fantastic Flashback series. Stayed for the routinely awesome content!
Love Weird History!
Can you do one about mythical beasts?
Man, this is something. Fascinating.
Blurring out ancient statues and other art is actually more offensive than any humanity they might reveal. It's abhorrent .. really.
Send your complaint to Neal Mohan.
Thinking the same thing, yet there's still art showing blood and decapitations and limbs removed, haha
They don't want to get demonetized. Not saying I think it's OK. But I understand the reasoning.
@@knighthawk882 Yet, the image with the bloody dismembered body is ok? Cupid's ass crack in a painting has to be blurred out though .. can't make money with that in the video .. right? It's ridiculous.
9:34 if I remember correctly the Greek gods weren’t immortal either. They had to consume ambrosia to remain “deathless”.
If they didn’t consume ambrosia regularly (I don’t remember how often) they would grow weak, old and would no longer be immortal.
Awww... a "Sword in the Stone" reference is always a welcome thing! Thanks for that little ray o' sunshine, Weird History. :) @4:45
Sadly, they've discontinued the Amphitryon costume at Spirit Halloween.
Regarding this topic I warmly recommend Schwerpunkt's video on the Vedas and Traditional religion in general
Celtic/Scottish/Irish mythology would be a great video
Now I can sleep well knowing there's a poop god. Thanks
I am amazed he spoke the names quite right
Give me a #T. Give me an #R. You give yourself a nuggie. Give me an #M. After a pint of ale, give me a #P. if you're drug-free, #Y?
I'd argue about the pronunciation of 'squirrel'; in English it has 2 syllables.
My husband is from Glasgow. He sees squiddles in our garden.
One way to celebrate Shiva by smoking the hashish.
Wrong. Absolutely wrong. You don't put your bad habits on God. It's because of you people, we are laughed at. Tell me one instance in our Vedas which talks about Shiva or his closest doing hash
Thanks for this subject which is quite interesting.
5:29 Snorri Sturluson is often believed to be the author of Egill's Saga, one of the famous Icelandic sagas.
Octopus is an alien - eight brains, three hearts and blue blood.
Why do hummingbirds hum? You ready for it . . . . . ?
They don’t know the words. You knew that was coming, didn’t you?
Octopi are pretty cool I just wish they lived longer.
5:50 The film Premonition (2007) is another film that uses a similar concept, I have that on DVD.
Excellent film!
I couldn't care less who _any_ of the Jonas Brothers are
Marvel uses so many mythologies for their films!
Can you do a video about Finnish mythology, since the swedish and norwegian (viking) mythology is far better known?
Edit: about half of ancient finnish gods are dedicated to symbolize death, pain and suffering - the common finnish state of mind 😀
I had a finnish boyfriend about a dozen years ago and since then kinda hate anything related to Finland (specially the food) but what the heck; that sounds like an interesting idea, I second 😅
More like this, please? More stories from around the world.
0:09 I saw the film Stargate (1994) in the theater, awesome film!
this was really cool
6:10 I rememeber reading the script for Agamemnon by Aeschylus for our Introduction to Theatre class at Doane University.
The closed captions are talking about Houdini lmao
The frankie slander was crazy
3:22 When I went to college at Doane University, there were a lot of people who had big stereo systems in their rooms for parties.
A+ video!
Rad!
0:36 Reminds me of Cthulhu, "a cosmic entity created by H.P. Lovecraft." (wikipedia)
How did the Greeks get that fuzzy blurred effect on their statues?
"Some artists chisel a pixel."
"Others carve away everything that ISN'T the pixel."
Iirc, "octopi" is really only acceptable at this point because so many people think it's correct and that actually, if we were going to give the word it's proper etymological plural, it'd be Greek, which would make it "octopoden" and not "octopi" as if it had started out as a Latin word. ☺
It should be octopussi 😂
@@jerekorsumaki437God bless Ian Fleming
Octopod Especially.
Octopodes***
I use octopods.
OM 🕉 NEMAHA SHIVAI 🙏 HAR HAR MAHADEV 🗻🌈⚡( lord shiva)
I watch with closed captions. The closed captions are talking about David Copperfield and the Statue of Liberty. Wondering if there's a mix up.
You should do a video on Frank Hamer
yes pls
Interesting captions -- two videos for the price of one!
Mythology proves that humans have ALWAYS had WILD imaginations!
Captain James Cook was the person that founded the East Coast of Australia, the Dutch founded the West Coast
The story about Shiva was my favourite. There's a stain of marijuana named after him, isn't there?
Blurring the "private parts" of the paintings and statues is hilarious.
Can you upload to nebula so I can binge these without ads?
When I hear clash of the titans I think about my heavy weight family heading to the sizzlers buffet.
7:44 "Jerri, I have the metabolism of a hummingbird. For instance, last night I ate half a strawberry cheesecake at 3 A.M. and I'll never gain an ounce, understand?"
- Mr. Chuck Noblet on the tv series Strangers With Candy
Wrong closed captions.🤗
Since I have watched both thumbnail recommendations at the end of the video, I am going to watch the Weird History videos:
x What Was Hygiene Like On Pirate Ships
x What Life On a Slave Ship was Like
Eating ANOTHER Weird History meal!
This time eating Pop Tarts* and drinking Folger's Classic Roast Coffee^...while watching this Weird History video!
* From the Weird History Food thumbnail "What Was the Most Popular Junk Food From Every Decade In the 20th Century?
^ From the Weird History Food video "Incredible Things Coffee Does For Your Body"
I broke my chillum, this video reminded me of that and now I’m sad😢😂
You forgot Japanese creation myths. They are very....they involve every possible bodily fluid, there's even a town named Sh- - pants.
Japanese Myths sound made up by a perverted old man.
Do an episode about the cadaver synod. (I.e trial of the unburied dead pope)
7:11 My hometown is an agricultural community, and everyone agrees that manure is an excellent fertilizer for crops.
❤ peace
what happened to the subtitle? david copperfield??
Wait kek is an actual God. I thought he was just something fourchan came up with
Brother, may I have some oats?
Hindsm is one heck of a fantasy religion, I must say . I saw things in India which would be unimaginable in the civilised world.
I thought hera put the snakes in Hercules crib
Your voice reminds me of Rainn Wilson.
Hera, the goddess queen and wife of philandering Zeus, sent the serpents that attempted to kill baby Heracles, or Hercules as the Romans called him
Warning: the captioning is totally out of sync.
I’m convinced a guy celebrating with too much hasheesh said “I’m gonna make up the most ludicrous religion ever as a joke and see if people will follow it. Picture this. Talking squirrels with horns.”
I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?

In an infinite universe of infinite universes, there can be no fiction 🤗
The sun is hurtling through space in the direction of its northern pole, which is the direction of our northern pole. the earth is actually surfing its wake caught in the gravity well it creates. so take the disk you commonly think of when you imagine the solar system and turn it on its side and make it zoom toward that pole.
Because of common right hand bias I can almost guarantee that when you turned the solar system in your imagination you turned the north pole of the sun to the right making the south pole on the left. And, there you have it. That would mean that they would have had knowledge that the sun was hurtling northward through space.
These little fact snippets also answer the question of why we do not try to send probes north of our orbit or south. North we would be unable to generate enough velocity to move the probe faster than the sun was moving. Which also would be pointless because we are hurtling in that direction already right along with it. Like wise if a probe was sent south ward it would be moving away from us as we moved away from it. in return. so we would only gather limited data all about the place we had just been. which is mostly a useless use of time and effort.
Graphics of this natural phenom are interesting to think about though you'll come away with yet another bad thing to worry about happening to the earth. Basically if for some reason we start to fail our gravitational lock with the sun we will fall behind more and more until the sun becomes just another star and the earth slowly freezes first becoming cold because the suns radiation is no longer hitting us, but them even worse our core would cool because the tidal effect put on it from the opposing gravity of sun and moon would have been lost.
Way worse than the sun popping into red giant state and consuming our planet or a Gama ray burst nuking us instantly. But, right on par with our orbit degrading out of the Goldilocks zone causing us to slow roast to extinction, or earth processional rotation causing us to wobble over changing the relation ship between the pull of the suns gravity on us and the moons initiating tectonic upheaval and returning the earth to more lava covered state.. 😅 its a dang miracle we haven't haven been wiped out by one astrological phenomenon or another, Big thanks to the Big G for looking out for us.
5:50 I remember when Final Destination (2000) came out, it was a mildly popular at Doane University when I was a student.
It is one of the horror franchises I hope will succeed, that along with Children of the Corn, Urban Legend, I Know What You Did Last Summer, It Follows, and The Loved Ones.
Why do hummingbirds hum? Because they forgot the words.👍😁
😮
Having to blur human anatomy on classic art is dumb, but you can still show art with blood and limbs removed haha, CZcams is shit.
🐙 indeed I am terrible at math
Wrong english captions
❤
nice pronunciation skills 🎉bravo to mr. voice over artist😂
How long is a solar year?
365.4 days 🤦👉🗓
Captions have nothing to do with the video.
I love this channel, but blurring portions of classic art is sad. I understand that it's being done out of fear of being demonetized by YT. How about a video discussing the history of censorship, and how it is conservative behavior no matter who is doing it?
Simon Whistler did a video on the history of censorship. CZcams didn't just demonitize it, they literally locked the video and made him take it down.
I thought the same thing !
Chill bro
Did those blurred pixels take your lunch money or somethn
Nothing says “conservative behavior” quite like when thee organizations blur out CP
Hey y'all 😮
Har Har Mahadev🙏🙏🙏
🙏🙏
Any word of Timeline? It's been over a year we are dying to know?
Watching this, I know you've def hired someone to blurr all the naughty boobs and dinks in that ancient art... I'm hoping this is their sole responsibility 😂
I love this channel ... I assume the pronunciations of all those names is correct because the narrator obviously tried to get them right! Regardless, thanks for another fun and informative video, Weird!
The closed captioning doesnt even remotely match to this story.
I must add that the plural of octopus is octopod. This is because octopus is Greek not Latin. I
I will have you know, good sir, I would most definitely wear a shirt that says 'I am the GOD of POOP'.
You should merch that. Put on the back 'Draculeus - 680 b.c.' or something like that. You could put that on hats, underwear, swimwear.......
Interesting if one is able to calculate the Hindu cosmology of Brahma n cross reference it with the Mayan long count calendar along with Enoch's calendar. One would be able to get the exact time n date the earth was created n life started on earth. Down to the second n also calculate every single time a meteor or global natural catastrophe has occurred n will occur without undeniable proof. Math truly is the key to everything as life existence is nothing more than a mathematical calculation of a simple equation 🥲😊😊😊
Do billy the kid
I'm pretty much an atheist, but after hearing that story, perhaps it might be worthwhile to worship Shiva...
uhm your subtitles seem to be about a different story.
6:50 Shtap! Shtap! Shtap! Shtap! Shtap! What did I just read?
6:48 HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH?! What? Who would even want that as a title for a deity?!
7:42 What?! XD
What if all the myths are true?
💨💨💨💨✌️♥️
The blurring is so absurd. Who is being offended lol
Shree Shiva thook allbthe drugs/narcotics, so we dont have too!
Thats wgy He is Blue!
🙏... 💩... 🌽...🎉!
The thumbnail is enough to trigger or impress the Indian audience
what ever happened to the myth form the single god shit
Octopusses = correct......... not octopi
Why say one religion story Hinduism as myth and not include the " zombie savior"???
Is SHIVA 100% bad? I mean he cut GANESA's head off, right?
