Is it bad that I'm already very invested in his video? I'm a little too excited to ascend the ranks of your secret society if I do say so myself! ❤
What’s your source
Thank you for sitting your Sources
@@edhojcontext buddy
A sign you know things have gotten out of hand is when a secret society start having secret societies within secret societies
Secret societies all the way down baby!
Any group is this, you end up with one small group and then more groups splinter over stuff
Well sounds like its a enlighted group with a radical groups that then creates a sect
The crown is to symbolize if you would turn to get power and betray. Same things happened to Jesus and Buddists. If you are true to your faith or you want power
But is the same things. A close group trust each other. One member blackmail them with secrets. Then they pull others into a extortion and identure servitide. With lots of brainwashing to make them not fight to get out of an abusive relationship
The most amusing thing with all of these secret societies proliferating throughout history is how it shows that adult, seemingly "elevated and superior" men just loooooove having secrets clubs and weird funny rituals just like we all did as kids.
Had to stay entertained somehow before the internet.
All is fun and games until you see yourself at the Gates of Hell.
@@carlosalbertofernandezvele7574 Or, in this video's case, imprisoned.
Adults are just grown-up kids. X)
@@carlosalbertofernandezvele7574 bruh way to ruin the mood also there is no Haven or hell
I googled it afterwards. The recommendations I have received have now turned me into a flat earth 9/11 truther. The lizard people on the moon will repress me no more!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Pfft as if you still believe in the moon
@@dannyw1579 yea they still belive the moon is real... We all know its just a cheese flying around!
@@Penguingot a fellow observer of the Wallace and Grommit theory i see
@@Penguingot Heretic I say! The "moon" is a hologram projected upon the Firmament by a Jewich Space Laser.
It's a shame that conspiracy theorists love co-opting stuff like this, the actual history is always way more interesting than anything you can stick on a corkboard.
What if you mapped out the actual history on a corkboard?
@@scarletletter4900Then it becomes a museum.
@@scarletletter4900 Now we're thinking with portals
They need a boogeyman because they refuse to realize that life is chaotic and would go mad realizing that

Refusing a crown to be part of the order, yet the point was power from the shadows. Huh.
Power to promote enlightenment ideals and not autocratic rule
Also the point was to rule behind the throne, not sit upon it. And likely to throw out the idea of thrones all together
I wonder if it was a mockery of the public show Caesar made of refusing the Roman crown, while secretly aiming for it.
Down with the crown!! Btw, here, look we have some crowns and throwns and stuff.
I mean, if you refuse an actual crown in favor of a secret enlightenment club, then it's probably safe to say you won't betray the group in exchange for a bribe. That's how I see it, at least.
EH: "Don't google it"
Me: Don't tell me what to do!
"Googles it"
Also me: I regreat everything 😢
In all honesty, the phrase "ignorance is truly bliss" certainly ends up holding MUCH more meaning once any given individual begins to learn too much about mankind, societal histories, classism, wealth vs. poverty, and other screwed up situations. 🤮
@@Novastar.SaberCombat ikr.....
3:03. Fun fact about the abolition of the Jesuits. Despite being formally disbanded by the pope 51 years earlier, when Norway first got its modern Constitution in 1814, it did still take the time to explicitly ban the Jesuits from entering the country (Jews were unfortunately also banned). Then, literally two months later in august of 1814 the Pope restored the Jesuits.
Despite the universal ban of the Jesuites, the ban was not literally universal, the kingdom of Prussia and the polish part of the Empire of Russia decided that they would not apply that edict of the Pope, because they didn't like him ^^
The Jesuites survived during the 50 years of ban, although with difficulty, they lost 90% of their members, from 23 000 to 2 000 members. But they still were there, so it make sense to still legislate against them ^^
And if you're wondering why the Pope banned them, then his successor changed his mind, it's because of the Enlightenments. In the 1750s and 70s, a lot of catholics kingdoms had "enlightened despots" like Friedrich the Great who conisdered that religion should be destructured, and that the Jesuits were a major pillar of the Papacy, so it was easy to attack the jesuites to diminish the influence of the Pope in their lands. And the Pope finally accepted the general pressure and banned the Jesuits in 1773.
And twenty years later, the French revolted, with the ideas of the Enlightments as their main inspiration, and decapitated a king to proclaim a Republic... Let's just say, that it changed the opinion of a lot of monarchs about this whole Enlightment XD
And so after the big mess that had been Napolon's wars, the Pope thought it could be a good time to reinstate the jesuits that he never really wanted to ban in the first place XD
@@krankarvolund7771 It is also worth mentioning that the Jesuits always opposed the idea of absolute monarchy. They proposed that the people had the right to rebel if their rulers behaved like tyrants, something that enlightened despots abhorred.
>Jews were unfortunately also banned
Based
Unfortunately??
I love the theming used. It provides an extra bit of fun, and makes me want to come back just to achieve the next rank, though I am loving the history!
E
Yeah, the framing is fun
It's not just fun, it's accurate to how secret societies worked.
We all know youtube deletes truth... So this video is.... A lie
The "Canon law " illustrated with a cannon was a joke made from pure gold :)
I think there were other metals involved too...
Yeah it was beAUtiful 🧪
The Nord VPN sponsorship being the only way to research the topics without ending up on a watchlist is a genius stroke of marketing if ever I’ve seen one.
I've really been loving this series.
I joined a secret society myself in my early adult life (the secret society was officially dissolved years ago after decades of slow decay) so hearing the story of others, less secret secret societies has been very interesting to me.
E
Or are you just saying "it dissolved" ...
5:04 i find that to be so funny. It sounds like something college age boys would do lol
and like a college age boy, he didn't do anything with it
It seems like it pretty much is like that
Oh boy the knights of the golden circle. Got the popcorn ready to see how they fumble
E
Maybe the real illuminati were the friends we made along the way
Association with the illuminati is one of the easiest ways of detecting if a conspiracy is actually viable or outright deranged
Or the Rothschilds or the Bilderburg (sp?) Group. It's like the holy trinity of, "Yep, this is complete bunk."
Same applies for "globalists" and lizard people (sneople). If any of these are named, you know it's a fake conspiracy theory
Along with the Freemasons of course
Not really. When people say illuminati they don't understand that it was an actual group that existed. They are referring to rich powerful people who have influence over how the world runs, which is a thing🤷♂️
@@smc0718Freemasons are a part of the theory cuz a lot of lodges were taken over by people with bad intent and have confused people. Some lodges don't even know they're not official masons
You should see The Secret World MMOs take on the Illuminati, they were great, and had such a good sense of humor too.
That game deserved a better life then it got. So good.
It's all about power.
@RomLoneWolf23 we don't fight the war on evil WE are the war on evil
They already did a video on back when they covered game design.
“We have stocks in Hell and compromising photos of angels.”
My Zoey Plush also finally came in!
@@extrahistory You guys are the Best 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Zoey is watching you. Always.
I knew a sentient Dorito once. His name was Bill.
Fun fact: there is an active Freemason building in Orange County, California, and it’s 100% hiding in plain sight in right at the Orange circle in olde Town Orange.
It has a bronze seal with the infamous compass insignia on the side of the building
Their all over the place. Most major cities have a chapter.
@@Darkdjinn79 Not surprising. Many of its members tend to be those who are either well-off or are integral to the community the chapter exists. Many just joined for the perks and connections...
@@Darkdjinn79most within feet of City Hall!
@@Darkdjinn79even lots of smallish cities will have them. Sometimes they have massive bank or temple like buildings and in others it’s a corrugated metal building with a simple Masonic lodge sign out front. The Masons don’t hide their existence.
Extra History: "Don't google it, there's tonnes of misinfo"
Discordians: "Yes, we planned it that way."
Discordians: Create a bunch of false information and mythology as a put-on and pisstake of the Birchers.
Far-righters and Q-anon: PIck it up and run with it.
Discordians: No, not like that!
Still hilarious though.
Those guys were the Original Scientologist ... Imagine a sect keeping a file of you to keep you in check and recutting celebrities of the time
Why do i feel the Idea of Jay z is part of illuminati make some what sense now.
depends, some are basically 1700s discord groups/hobby forums
also the closest thing nowadays would be invite-only TorChans
How is Scientology even comparable to the Illuminati? What?
@@Gelatinocyte2 both are cults with weird beliefs in "ancient aliens" and magical artifact crap that keeps blackmail on powerful people?
I love how you've been setting up these videos like an initiation ritual!
(Also looking forward to the Yakuza video!)
E
I do love how a lot of secret societies end up becoming Russian nesting dolls.Secret societies within secret societies.Because it becomes absolutely deranged really quickly
It's not derange it was an actual thing that happened. The occult heavy influences our culture and secretcy is their religion. 🤷♂️
The Rosae Crucis is a Hermetic Order right? The cross with a rose in it appears in The Golden Dawn logo if my memory serves correct
Technically, the rosae crucis wasn’t an official order, someone under the name of Christian rosencruetz published three rosicurcian manifestos, so, in England a group of Freemasons founded the Soceitas Rosicrucianas in Anglia, from there, three of the members from the S.R.I.A. Founded the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn
I’m not sure how yet, but somehow I think this “secret society” arc they’re doing is gonna get tied back to Him.
It can only be Him.
It’s Walpole all the way down.
But then Napoleon III took it too far.
The God-Emperor
@ArmageddonAngel but Bismarck had a plan, *Bismarck always has a plan*
Ibn Battu: Side Trip Time!
how fitting that I started playing Cult of the Lamb since a couple of weeks ago
I love the secret society bit at the beginning of GUARDS! GUARDS! by Terry Pratchett.
Illuminati confirmed!
The episode, I mean :)
420🌿 confirmed!
Not deleted from youtube = lie confirmed
I know the Masons had changed course by this point, but it would've been hilarious if when Weishaupt asked about the secrets of Freemasonry, the leader told him the best way to build a wall.
Amazing work as always Extra History!
This is a really creative way to go over this stuff
Love your content guys! You're the Best 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Who knew that this knowledge is what I was missing in my entire life? Thanks, EH
4:23 That is incredibly stupid.These people must Not be as enlightened as they thought
E
They were essentially reddit mods lmao.
Always look forward to your videos guys! You always make My day 🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊
@extrahistory you folks do such an amazing job it makes me hope you cover the Eleusinian Mysteries as well
Thank you for trying to help demystify and educate around such topics that have been obscured by paranoia and delusions.
Yay Extra History time!!!
Gnosticism is a subject that would be very interesting to touch upon
Oh, absolutely! I feel like it’s not really that talked about.
OMGG I LITERALLY LOVE THIS SM!!! ANOTHA BANGER FROM MY BELOVED EXTRA HISTORY😛😛😛
JOY TO THE WORLD 🙂
If you're interested in hearing this story in more detail, I highly recommend Behind the Bastards six part series on the illuminati. They get a lot deeper into why the modern conspiracists are so fascinated by them.
This video was a perfect balance of comedy and educational, I loved it!!!
why dont we have more conspiracy videos like this
i'm totally gonna google it... just for the weird youtube recommendations. Also, wait.. when did the Jesuits re-form? cuz last I checked they're still around.
Sometime around the late 1800's. Jesuits are instrumental in the cultivation of native talent in the Philippines when it was under Spanish colonial rule due their more lenient and egalitarian approach, their greatest product being writer and national hero Jose P. Rizal. The influence of the Jesuits in the Philippine Revolution is great enough that they are considered by law (of the First Philippine Republic) one of the two foreign-based religious orders allowed to operate in the Philippines. The school that they founded - Ateneo de Manila - still exists and to this day remains as one of top performing schools in the country (also one of the most expensive since they cater to the very rich and they are located on the more expensive part of the city of Manila, National Capital Region)...
I've always wondered how these organisations started. I've genuinely never even known if the illuminate was real and this was really enjoyable. My eyes have been opened. Historiam aquire, in luce vive
You believe truth would be not deleted by youtube? 😂😂😂😂
This is gonna make my youtube recommendations weird
Always an interesting video
3:29 World without british isles...
PERFECTION
This video makes me feel... so silly🤣 I grew up being terrified of the Illuminati when I was a kid to the point that I thought I was sinning when I watched gravity falls.
I really love this new series
It would be interesting to see a episode of extra history about the hermetic order of the golden dawn
Thank you for the video.
Will there be an episode on fight club and project mayhem?
Oh damn I’m not supposed to talk about that!
Nah that just fictional ones. And two maybe skull and bones.
i love it when extra history fills me up with history
I love these videos! Thanks , Guys! ❤
Great ad transition
EH! Your videos are awesome! Thanks all you all for your hardwork! Hearth please ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Im not a patreon, but if you guys could make a video of the swedish king, Gustav Vasa that would be epic! I believe that his story could be entertaining. Amazing video btw!! C:
I appreciate you doing this is fun to watch
Looking forward to the Rosicrucian video!
Hope the next one is about the Rosacrucians! Interesting that they're still around in some capacity today
This channel is so good
Love your videos
I’m both dreading and excited for the next society
Lovely video. I remember watching Court Cam on TV where one man sings "We are the Illuminati" in a hopeless bid to disrupt the court proceedings bc he was going to jail.
The scene at 1:04 really reminds me of scratch games
Edit: the youtube infocard thing drawn from my local wikipedia is actually more reasonable then anything on western internet about them
It would be nice if you could post a works cited of this episode so people have a vetted way of reading more about this instead of getting swept up into the modern conspiracy storm
That happens in our lies videos.
@@extrahistoryI enjoy those.
Funny note here. Where i used to lived, it was close to a Rosa Cruz, temple? Building? Store? I dont remember, but, i was always curios on what was that place.
I love that there is a context blurb on this video
Yeah. Sometimes, TH-cam even puts out context blurbs that aren't even relevant to the video.
If there was any truth in this video it would be insta-deted
@@kresimirzex2720 Even outright lies get deleted eventually. What are you on about?
@@Gelatinocyte2 truth is banned on youtube. If this is not banned it can't be truthful.
You know, the deep hole of TH-cam conspiracy theories immediately opened in my recommendations while watching this video.
Already there is some recommendation there about a cult that TH-cam thinks will interest me. Something to do with a “Mithras”?
please make a video series about the Khmer-Champa wars and one about the history of the Swahili coast
That disclaimer not to google this in the beginning was hilarious XD
In my homeland (Czechia or Czech republic) we had a secret Society in medieval times. They called themselves Brotherhood of Hammer and Hoop. Anfortunately we don't have much information. I only find that, They meet each other in Prague house called Hammer an Hoop. Members are mostly nobles and rich merchants. Some of them were closed to king Václav the fourth. They support ideas of Jan Hus. We know only one Member: Čeněk z Vartenberka. That's all what is known about this Society.
P. S. Great video
Please do the Greek war of independence of 1821 against the ottoman empire next
I've been asking for this since the first episodes of the sengoku Jidai!!
I love the series
I already saw this one week ago in Nebula.
When will the new content be uploaded?
Funny thing, this is exactly the motivation I needed to get back into writing that political thriller I've been meaning to make
love ye content!
MORE HISTORY 🎉🎉🎉
I love the cartoon version of the Minerva class owl. It’s so cute. 😁 As a Freemason, I encourage other brothers to read “The Secret School of Wisdom: The Authentic Ritual and Doctrines of the Bavarian Illuminati.” It’s a great read for history and ritual nerds!
Nice video
Behind the Bastards did a great podcast episode on these guys, Madame Blavatsky, and the Freemasons. Highly recommend.
Hi. Am the 106th person that liked this vid!
Love all of your vid! Especially the ost you made!
Do you guys remember the illuminati in warhammer 40k ? I think it was very early lore about a secret group of emperor worshippers that try to revive him into a chaos god by sacrificing the Sensei (the illegitimate children of the emperor) to him. That was a fun bit of lore. I still remember my first Sensei Adventurer i rolled up ages ago
Gotta love when Extra History has a topic so controversial TH-cam gave it one of their context blurbs.
Someone did his homework and read both Joseph Wages books. Great video!
thx for sacrificing your recommended social media topics for us, trust them on this, Social media I.A. well never leave alone after it sees ur search history
I knew it. I couldn't understand why, if they were so powerful, we were walking backwards.
I noticed that in the parts where you can see the buttons on the purple robe, the buttons/string attatchments are the game theory colors lol
You know it's crazy when secret societies start giving history lessons
What are some good sources I can read about this?
Will you do an episode on The Committee of 300?
You can do so whenever you choose. But since you mentioned Freemasonry in this video perhaps you could do a video on them at some point in the future.
That should be the next video in this series. Freemasons are not so secret but they also get referenced by the conspiracy addled.
Can we get a video of the assassin brotherhood or the templars?
I found you guys maybe 2 months ago when I accidentally dropped my phone and it played a worst dad's in history short and I swear I'm addicted (also it helped replace matpat in my educational yt)
I am HERE FOR THE WEIRD!!
Hoping to become a quill-bearer next week yay
Dang!! I just finished reading up on the origin of purgatory. Now I have to google Illuminati. 😂😂😂
Please let's do one on the Freemason's!
