There are hundreds of beguines in Europe today. I was prividged to be with them a year ago in Germany. You may be interested in reading The Wisdom of the Beguines for background and an introduction to their writings, etc

You have zero understanding of Fomenko whatsoever.
I know this is an older video, but I just wanted to say thank you so much for making this! I'm writing a 12 page paper for my college ancient & medieval history class, and this is BRILLIANT for note taking!! Thank you sooooo much!
Thank you for your kind words! Good luck on the paper!
I was born in Mississippi in 1957 and I have lived in the south most of my life. I have never seen a Klan rally or anyone who said anything good about the Klan. I have never seen any kind of anti Semitic behavior from anyone I knew. There were several Jewish owned businesses in my town and my mom and I use to shop there all the time. My mom always held Jewish people in high regard because she said that they were the "chosen" people . My mom had a charge account at the stores and when she couldn't pay, the man would tell her not to worry about it and pay when she could. There were also several Asian stores and I never saw anyone mistreat any of those people. This myth that the south hated Jews is just that, a myth. My family hated the Klan.
"Mumio" or "mumiyo" is the mineral substance called Shilajit.
BlackPilled did a FANTASTIC job covering this too
An original 1st edition 1542 copy of La Relacion is on permanent exhibit at Texas State University.

Opium is its most important ingredient.
There maybe a link to the Ethiopian Church and rumours of its existence in Africa ?

Yes
I’ve been living on a property located on a former plantation in Sardis Georgia for 8 years and have cycling routes that go in between adjacent plantations and church’s dating back to early 1800’s and these areas are relatively well preserved remaining agricultural, your research and narratives bring forth a sense of what the state of mind based upon life roles which is pretty much the same today, I’m working on acquiring a better perspective and am factoring in Harris book character types as a starting point as what could be considered indelible in time, I’m spending time at the local library would appreciate anything you consider mandated reading - thank you
Hello! Thank you for your kind words and best of luck with your project. You can see all of the sources Elizabeth used for this episode here: www.footnotinghistory.com/home/uncle-remus-joel-chandler-harris-and-the-south-part-ii

Beautifully spoken. All the way through. Everyone will speak a foreign language with an accent.
Why have you not learned the basic sounds of the Spanish language pronunciation. Your video is difficult to sit through by Spanish speakers.
"For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. " -Revelation 16:14
It’s also the name of a Patchwork block!!
And me, lol
The Loyalists did not go to Ontario because Ontario didn't exist. Canada didn't exist. Please check the facts.
The British did not surrender in 1781. The war continued right up to 1783 but granted after Yorktown the British realized that the war with those 13 provinces, France, Spain, the Netherlands was likely not going to end well.
Just how many Loyalists were there? How many Loyalists fled those 13 provinces in rebellion during the civil war? I've seen a wide variety of numbers. I used 100,000 because the USA version would naturally choose a much lower number. Besides who were considered Loyalists?
Declaring independence is not the same as achieving independence. If those 13 provinces of British America which were declared "in rebellion" in 1775 actually gained independence why did the civil war continue for another 8 years and require the massive assistance of France, Spain and the Netherlands.
Just how many colonies were there in 1775 British America? There were 19 provinces, 3 massive territories, and innumerable colonies in the Caribbean and Atlantic. This is a good start in understanding the real First American Civil War 1775-1783.
Can you please make a program about A. George Washington’s wooden teeth B. Napoleons biles and the assumption that Waterloo was lost because of him having bathed during the battle and him being in great pain and in consequence not being in full command of his senses.
Candace Owens brought me here too, Leo Frank was from a powerful family and well connected if there was proof of his innocence it would have been found. Anti semitism wasn't a thing in the south at that time ...the ADL was born after this case for this case and for cases like this.😊
Yeah and if the KKK believes a black dude over you then you're probably guilty af lmao
Candace Owens brought me here.
