Faking a (Real) Civilization
We didn't mean to take such a long break but a few weeks ago we got bad medical news about our dog and now we're sort of trying to make his exit as good as possible. Then when we started trying to get back into the swing of things, a tree fell on our house.
But we're all settled now and back with many more adventures. Next up, Lebanon! And I think I'll start with the story of being arrested as a presumed Israeli spy. It's a big one.

The Ghost Army of Crete
Просмотров 49 тыс.Месяц назад
Tall tales always seem to get taller, but their purpose often stays the same. The myth of Frangokastello might be little more than morning dew, but to the people of southwestern Crete - it is anything but a mirage. One more from Crete and then I think I'll tell the story of how I talked my way out of Lebanese prison to start our season there. Your support keeps us going: www.patreon.com/rareear...
How This Mythical Monster Was Actually Real
Просмотров 136 тыс.2 месяца назад
To be clear, all of this is merely my opinion. How could I possibly know the evolution of a myth thousands of years ago? But that said, some myths have meanings, like false memories of a real event. And at least as I see it, the meaning behind Theseus and the Minotaur is nothing less than the conquest and destruction of one of earth's oldest civilizations. It's an echo, being repeated over a th...

Slandering a Greek Cat

Goodbye Micronesia, hello Mediterranean. The next few episodes are set in Crete, Greece - an island absolutely littered in stray cats. And so we thought a good way to cleanse the new season palate would be a very stupid episode about the fickleness of fame, and all the cats we ignore.

The Country That Nobody Cares About
Просмотров 131 тыс.5 месяцев назад
This isn't an attempt to name and shame one of the least-polluting, poorest nations on the planet for not saving the world single-handedly. It is merely a symbolic reminder of what it means to do our part in a giant system we often feel powerless to control. Saving the world might feel (and perhaps be) impossible, but suffice it to say that if we're going to demand something of others, at the v...
This Tribe Went to War For a Truly Disgusting Reason
Просмотров 225 тыс.5 месяцев назад
I was reading a history book about Pohnpei called "Upon a Stone Altar" and it had a single page describing the four day purge they undertook before battle. It enthralled me so much I made this entire video based off that single page's prompt. If you're disgusted, good! So was I. But it was still something worth thinking about, because war is stupid, but I think it's pretty safe to say so are we...

    I bet 10,000$ that just increased their tourism rate by like 300%, the first thing I thought is “wow that’s an amazing place to experience tropical life” bro it’s a cocaine island at that rate especially if the numbers aren’t way over exaggerated. I am surprised the locals let you film without hardcore harassment let alone gave you deals. That’s how you know the tourism rates are low. If the right group of rich white people see this, it’s gg though. There are people that literally scour the internet for this info.

But then, just by seeing that it’s just a gate and a man with a key, even before your last reflection, i changed my mind completely. I really hope they put some measures to protect this. I for sure will not go now and wait to see it when it is preserved, or just wait for new studies

    To quote Ishtar in one of her surviving poems "...I shall raise the dead to take the living, and you should know, the dead outnumber the living." What a great assessment. Going to Crete in November, and this series in Greece has me so excited. I've studied pre-christian religions, and as you can see themes, imagery, stories and names EVERYWHERE that are or seem connected to Ishtar/Inanna, I never even considered this perspective on Asterion/the minotaur story. It's right there! How awesome is that? I wish we could find the "authors notes", you know, find evidence that either proves or disproves this
