This was a very well done video, I enjoyed it. I've always preferred my hair long. My dad wasn't having any of it when I was a kid. My hair hasn't been short since probably 2012'ish. I look bigger and more terrifying (to the average human) with it long. Looking like a Viking helps keep people on good behavior and I prefer calm. I have considered cutting it but I can't ever bring myself to it. This was interesting, great job. I gave you a like from both my accounts. Growing a new channel is rough so I'll throw you another subscriber right here. 👍 Best of luck to you and Skål!
Thank you so much, it really means a lot! That's an awesome story and I can definitely see how rocking a Viking look would keep others on their best behavior. With a look like that for as long as you've had it, it's a part of your identity! Thank you for your support on both accounts. Growing a TH-cam channel is a journey, so your support truly makes a difference. Here's to keeping the Viking spirit alive! 🍻
Good stuff, keep on going! I didn't look at subscriber count when I watched this and saw it first when I finished the video. I must say this really felt like a video from one of those +100k accounts because of the production value and how you bring a lot of personality to the video.
Also for the Jedi because the Jedi shared a lot of teachings with samurai! The word Jedi is in the word taijedi which means samurai in Japanese. Fun fact also long hair in ancient Celtic mythology grew it long because of fairies would tangle or braid your hair in your sleep. Such pranksters fairies are .
That's a really fascinating connection! I love the idea of the Jedi being inspired by samurai. They both share strong values of discipline, honor, and a deep connection to their philosophy. What a fun fact 😊 I didn't know that about Celtic mythology. Maybe I'll do a follow up video and continue my research. It's amazing how many cultures have unique stories and beliefs tied to hair. Those fairies sure know how to leave their mark! 🧚♀️ Thank you for your fun insight
This is a pretty high quality video for 17 subscribers, nice job. I have no dog in this fight because I'm growing a mullet, but I want to play Devil's advocate. I've heard "men used to wear long hair throughout history" talking points for the past few years and I believe it's skewing history by cherry picking long hair examples while ignoring short hair. Also, while it's suggested that Romans popularized short hair for warriors, the problem is many examples provided here of long haired warriors came after Rome. Vikings, Samurai, and Mongols. I know by 1400 B.C. Jews considered short hair to be the norm for men, and ancient Mesopotamia also followed the short hair for men rule although of course like today, you did have long haired men back then. Samson and Delilah, etc. For these reasons, I believe while interesting, the ancient warriors used to wear long hair while sometimes factual is actually a skewed version of history.
@@WildStallionMane No I don't think so. While I was initially skeptical due to Vikings and Mongols coming after Rome, I still didn't realize how much influence Rome did have on short hair and how much more popular long hair was before Rome/Macedonians. It's a good video, it taught me something in an attempt to pick it apart. 🤣
@@FakeMailElection 🤟I'm glad the video offered some new insights. Rome really did leave a massive cultural footprint and it's fascinating to see how hairstyles shifted before and after their influence. Thanks again for the thoughtful discussion and for giving the video a chance 🤝
Sampson came from a tribe which never cut their hair because they believed it gave them strength. After his hair was cut by Delilah he lost his strength and was captured. However the jews and Roman's are only two small groups that we have written accounts for. Not all past groups of people left written accounts, but we can find out whether they had long hair or not through archaeological evidence.
@@jakemcnamee9417 The belief that hair was a source of strength is a fascinating concept! I agree that written accounts are only part of the picture, and it’s incredible how much history archaeology is uncovering piece by piece.

I'll do my best to continue the high quality value

Your Comment Made Me Think: Did I Cherry Pick History?
