Cadmus: "Would you still love me if I was a wyrm?"
Harmonia: "Bet."
Cadmus: I threw a ROCK AT IT!!!
Other Greek heroes: *(Just stare blankly)*
Cadmus: It was a big rock...

Heracles: Hell yeah! Fuckin' love using big rocks!
Blue's comment about the tombs being half the size of the moon was what we call ✨Hyperbole✨
It’s crazy how old Egypt is. The only real records from the Bronze Age collapse that give an indication of what was happening is from them.
Also hilariously we only within 200 years translated the language so we're still finding things out.
Its actually insane to think about. Cleopatra lived closer in time to the Moon landing than the construction of the pyramids. Mammoths were still alive when the pyramid of GIza was build.
Ancient Egypt is so old Ancient Egyptians (Hellenistic Era Ptolemy Dynasty especially) had their own Ancient Egypt.
33:29 Oh, you didn’t know about those? They don’t live in hives or groups, but they search for certain insects and lay their eggs on/in the insect. When the eggs hatch, the wasp larva eat the bug from the inside. Perfectly delightful and not at all horrifying.
Greek heroes with happy endings:
1. Cadmus
2. Perseus
So fun fact: the sphinx statue in Giza was constructed with leftover stone meant for another temple, and my art history professor said that the area where it is tends to get filled up with sand but every other spot had been taken up already, so I call it the hot dog of the old kingdom
0:48 Airier realizes that "Ancient Egypt" was ancient
2:54 That would explain what the "mummy curse" actually was in real life.
9:30 Yeah, this is actually one of the funniest things about that terrible reboot of The Mummy, with Tom Cruise, with the end scene where he's supposed to be riding through the "Deep Desert" past the pyramids, because the Pyramids are so NOT deep in the desert, that you'd have seen Tom Cruise from the window of the PIZZA HUT in Cairo
The reason why most pictures of the Great Pyramids are only ever taken from one specific angle is because from any other angle, the world's sixth-largest metropolis is quite distractingly visible.
It would be so cool if you react to red's trope talk "personifying death" I think you'd absolutely LOVE IT
“Closest thing to a happy ending in greek mythology” you get to be a massive as dragon that nothing in nature can hurt (well disease etc.) with your loving wife without any responsibilities! Only way that was more awesome is if they stuck around and ruled as dragons, because indoors, servants and comforts of civilisation. Hell they might even have kept the opposable thumbs.
You learn this from a lesson in Persona 4 Golden-the limestone they used to build the pyramids were white to begin with, not painted white. The combination of human touching (robbers and archaeologists) and erosion (wind and sand) kinda wore out the white and made them more golden-ish-brown).
-Zeus is a duck, Hera’s a bitch.”
-Hestia in How to Be an Adventure abridged.
15:00 Looking up the math, "half the size of the moon" was definitely hyperbole (moon's 21.968 billion cubic kilometers vs the Great Pyramid of Giza's .0026 cubic kilometers). From your reaction I couldn't tell if you thought it was serious or not... apologies if this comment is obnoxious
The best time to visit Egypt is during the winter when it is cooler. It’s also important to understand how crepuscular/nocturnal the local culture is. The siesta is heavily enforced there.
That’s when you plan on a winter trip to Egypt. Mild winters.
Double fun fact:
1. When the first pyramids of Egypt were built there were still populations of woolly mammoths on islands near the Siberian coast.
2. Bull sharks probably do "better" than parasitoid wasps in terms of killing, because the pups of this species devour each other before they are even born, and since this species has two wombs the babies can swim freely between the two.
PS: a parasitoid species is a species of parasite that necessarily kills its host to move on to another stage of its life cycle. While true parasites do not intend to kill their host, they actually only pose a threat to their host if the host is physically stressed (this includes malnutrition or injury).
Edit: Sorry, someone in the comments pointed out to me that I confused vagina and wombs.
on the sharks, i think that goes for most sharks, or at least species other than bulls, and it's two wombs, each of which will make multiple babies, which then start eating each other. IIRC.
@@cobraglatiator Thanks, I confused vagina with wombs.
For the sharks I just used the bull sharks because this is the species where I am sure they canibalize before birth, but I agree with you on the fact that most ovoviviparous sharks have this particularity. Well except in whale sharks and other filter-feeding species.
Watch the florence and Venice videos it's just pure geeking out over architecture
O.O
well, I know what I'm going to do soon. 😁
Thanks for the heads up. 👍
Blue is a massive simp for Venice (and to a lesser extent Athens) it is adorable.
@Airier as someone from NYC I can tell you that it is NOT a recreation. That is a temple they dismantled, shipped and then reassembled inside the Met.
btw, Blue actually did a video on Brutalism iirc. Definitely worth a watch imo if you're into his architecture-talks.
Also, if you remember Ozymandias from Fate, a subtle reminder that his Noble Phantasm, Ramesseum Tentyris, was basically everything Blue showed off in that first video AND THEN SOME.
As for Reds video... yeah, being transformed into a cool dragon alongside his cool goddess wife, and presumably he'd still have the loyalty of his dragon tooth warriors from before so he basically still has something like a royal court... Cadmos seems like he just straight up won.
12:30 -- As a Floridian ... same, dude.
18:37 -- To repurpose a Tool lyric: "See you in Memphis Bay".
which memphis tho?
@@cobraglatiator That's on me, I set the bar too low.
34:15 just look up tarantula-hawk-wasp and you'll understand everything 👌
Ever wonder where the inspiration for the Xenomorph from Alien came from? Yeah, nature can be truly Effed up...
Who also win the award for one of the most terrifying species names I've ever heard.
I once heard that if ancient egypt was able to continue into the modern day as it was before Christianity and Islam, it would be the most advanced civilization on planet earth
I do not think the Builders of Pyramids/Mortuary Temples were Doctors, Lawyer, and Engineers; a few were for legal reason; but most were Skilled Laborers (what is now called Union/Guild Certified).
Yeah, the reference to being half the size of the moon is clearly a massive hyperbole.
I’m afraid Blue calling the Pyramids half the mass of the moons was hyperbole. While the pyramids may be about 57 tons of rock, the moon has a few more digits to it’s mass than the pyramids.
Though the pyramids did definitely alter local climates thanks to their sheer scale.
16:09 Airier, my friend, I believe this is what your English Major would refer to as "Hyperbole". I don't think Blue is stating the pyramids are literally half the size of the moon, just that they are absurdly big when compared to the temples he's currently talking about...
Cadmus is the Forrest Gump of Ancient Greek mythology
You mentioned Brutalist architecture... Dami Lee (@DamiLeeArch) speaks on that and other architecture types. It's worth checking out.
Blue also did a video on it, which I'm pretty sure is part of the reason he mentioned it.
Gotta say the tomb recreation is worth the visit
37:30 I doubt this was intentional on Red's part, but... the way she's drawn the two dragon-serpents' tails entwined here? Real snakes do that when they're doing something you're not supposed to talk about on TH-cam.
Given that they were lovers in one of the few seemingly actually good relationships in Greek stories, there is a non-zero chance it is fully intentional. I can't imagine it was for no purpose given how much easier not doing it would be
The whole DC Cadmus Project was really more of a genetic engineer project to create clones of various heroes and villains. Similarly like how Cadmus took the dragon's teeth and planted them to create an army of soldiers.
the cow is magically guiding a prince to destiny, we are basically speaking of the prototype for all magic girls animal companion, of course there are sparkles
9:17 Oh yeah, Cairo is like just a couple hundred yards away from the pyramids. There's a picture that goes around whenever someone talks about that of the Great Pyramid clearly visible through the front window of a Pizza Hut.
11:17 A sled on rollers, actually, is the generally accepted theory for how they moved the blocks the last couple hundred feet from the docks to the construction site.
With how much you were geeking out over Blue's video, I think you would like Miniminuteman's content. He does a lot of debunking of archeological conspiracy theories, but he's also done videos visiting archeological sites and it's pretty cool.
Parasitc wasps are considered to be one of the most visious creatures on earth, and were the insiration for the xinomorphs from Aliens.
Yeah, there's some species of wasps which lay their eggs in other LIVING insects and upon hatching... they EAT their way out.
You didn't know there were tours in the valley???? So, what's the rent on the rock you're living under? Also, I hate hot weather too.
31:11 To be fair cows do have gorgeous eyes.
If anyone wants to go to Eqypt do it sooner than later because Eqypt might go to war with Ethiopia over control of the Nile in the near future
Red does all the animations.'
I was wondering why this look familiar, i saw this video when you was live.
15:50 That was a figure of speech by Blue. It is not like any man made structure (so far) is half the size of the moon.
Ancient Egyptian thought said the land of the dead was on the west side of the Nile so all those peeps who are in their tombs are on the west side. Sun setting and all that.
I think you can literally take a bus to the pyramids.
day 6 of asking you to react to "The Thought Movie (Undertale Comic Dub)" (im finally early)
that was so good omg
@@PizzaRolls3301 ikr
Thats why i want him to see it
Question: has he seen the material about the Sun Maiden?
Hay again dude,don't worry not putting full history of puddin though still want you to watch that rap video as said even if you have to mute it,and course still want you to watch hauntlich,noochy boi and chainsaw musical,
31:10 because is a magical cow what other reason could be
So I'm pretty new to this channel. Is he consistently as naive and gullible in all of his videos as he is in this one? (In the nicest way possible)
Yeah and if you watches his reaction to Eye patch wolf you will also learn that he is a big adorable coward
Airier gets really excited about learning, and once he is in edutainment mode, he starts to take things very literally. Blue tends to be a _little_ more subtle with his jokes than what Airier can pick up on
He kind of is, yes.
Don't get too hung up on Florida being destroyed if the Moon were to blip out of existence. Several lands around the world would also be negatively effected.
