It is worth noting that the Titan Kronos (Κρονος) was originally not connected to the concept of time, but rather to that of agriculture and the harvest. But the similarity with the greek word for time, chronos ( χρονος) lead already in early times to an identification between the two.
Ummm, interesting point, but doesn't it kinda become "time" when you consider agriculture / harvests as cyclical activities related to last frosts, soil warming, river delta floodwaters subsiding, etc and other annual and / or seasonal natural events?
@@mikebeagley These were all probably factors, along with the similarity in names, that caused people even in ancient times to confuse the two deities.
Aren't they two different people Cronos and Chronos, Chronos is time and Cronos is agriculture and harvest. So there was no change or melding they were just two different people.
This is one of the things that always confuses me, because it's said that the second generation of Titans represented abstract concepts (like time). Even so, there's another entitiy named Chrono who is the personification of time, but it doesn't seem that there's a myth related to him. Just that the Father Time was inspired by this entity
Fr man proud to say I’ve been watching since around 30k subs, and subbed myself around 50k. He’s grown so fast, not just in the numbers but as a creator too.
Caesar actually came up with leap years that happened every four years in his calendar, making the year 365.25 days long. Gregory changed leap years so that they don’t occur in years divisible by 100, unless they are also divisible by 400. So 1800 and 1900 wouldn’t have a leap year but 2000 would. This changed the average year length to 365.2425 days which is a more accurate estimate. It’s pretty amazing how both of these guys who were both religious leaders/scholars created calendars that were incredibly accurate for their time I love it
Weird to call Caesar a religious leader or scholar. Like, I'm sure he was technically a scholar and lead some religious stuff but I definitely wouldn't have chosen to refer to him as such considering his other more important titles haha
@@SECONDQUEST he was the pontifex maximus of the roman republic in his time, which was the highest religious office at the time, and while its not the first thing you think of when you think ceaser, that office was still very important for ceasers career
@@SECONDQUEST he changed the calendar as part of his role as pontifex maximus but what’s interesting is he knew that the calendar was inaccurate by months before he changed it and he used this to his advantage in an invasion of the balkans during the civil war with pompey I’m pretty sure
@@alfrancisbuada2591 Yes. It's likely that Lucifer was influenced by a figure related to Ishtar. In some Levantine Semitic cultures, the Morning Star was male, named Attar, and the Evening Star was female, named Atthart. In some of their myths, Attar rebels against either El or Ba'al Hadad
What strikes me as super interesting is that anno mundi, as well as the Maya calender both start around 3xxx BC which coincides (very for the Mayan) roughly with the birth of the first attested cities. Maybe it's not the creation of the world, but of Civilization. Which for all intents and purposes is the birth of our "modern" world.
the problem is that america shares a different history to the old world i think this makes sense for the bible or the like, but im not sure if the same can be said for the mesoamerica
@@hihi-nm3uy yeah, and I know too little about mesoamerican civilizations and their first cities to give a real educated guess, but at least for the "biblical" anno mundi that could be a real possibility
Another interesting myth about time in the myth of dream time in Aboriginal mythology. Basically it’s a time of creation before time actually existed. The rules where less concise like a dream. I think the idea of a time before time is fascinating.
I actually first learned about the dreamtime from the Mutants Down Under expansion for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness tabletop roleplaying game. I was a huge nerd and found it fascinating.
This is probably the best youtube channel I have ever come across, amazing in every way possible. Ever since the mighty youtube algorithm showed my one of your older works, I have watched and trully enjoyed all the videos posted, and can't wait for the ones to come. Given the topic of this video, even though you are probably already familiar with him, I will encourage everyone interested in the history of the perception of time to investigate the work of the brilliant writter and historian Mircea Eliade. Once again, great inspiring content, thank you for putting so much work into your craft!!! Greetings from Madrid, Spain!
Yeah he actually comes up with his own ideas and doesn't steal. He stays objective and gives you a good overview of every topic he covers. He is a rare gem.
In italian the days are named after the roman gods, like "martedì", meaning Thusday, result of the union of Marte (Mars) and dì (day), or "giovedì", from Giove (Jupiter). A different case is presented for Sunday, which in italian is called "domenica", coming from the latin word "dominica" meaning "Day of the Lord" and it was introducted by Constantine when he converted to christianism to substitute the more ancient day of the sun, or "sunday" as it still is in english.
The english days of the week are simply the roman ones with roughly similar norse gods swapped in for the roman gods except for saturday because there simply wasn't any norse deity that matched Saturn.
What is truly amazing is how so many isolated civilizations were able to independently come to the same conclusion of how long a year is and use very similar sub-divisions to organize time.
That song reminds me of the world in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. I love just exploring and walking by the shore in that game. The world is so accurate to the times. Walking around and seeing everyone go about their lives is so hypnotizing that I notice that I have been standing in the same spot for 10 minutes just people watching.
9:03 Just remember that Mexica and Mayan cultures were so different, both in art and time. The Mexica sun disc wasn't used by Mayans, and it's a relatively recent piece of art in history. Besides that, I always found the Holocen calendar fascinating, because it englobes almost all the time since humans became humans. At the same time, it gaves a better comprehension about the develop of civilizations, their collapses and renaissances. 2000 years aren't enough, it discredits all the millenia that happened before.
Agree on the sun stone, it’s mexica, not Mayan. The second image you use is also mexica, called Coyolxauhqui, and is the mexica lunar myth. Also not Mayan. I would add that “Mesoamérica” is the correct term for their location. As they were mainly in what is North America today, with some spill over to Central America. The Région is called Mesoamérica.
What an interesting video. Gave me a lot to think about and further educate myself on! And I loved that you started out the video with that ancient song. Wow wow wow. Hauntingly beautiful across thousands of years.
i love your videos so much man. i get so excited everytime you post! you’re the person who introduced me to biblically accurate angels, which is now my favorite topic. i’m gonna work in a museum because of you! thank you so much hochelaga.
9:40 Pope Gregoy tweaked how often leap years happened, making them slightly less frequently, but it is incorrect to say that he included them. He, in fact, removed some. The man mostly credited for the inclusion of leap years is Caesar himself (hence Julian Calendar), so we can say that the calendar used all the way up until 1582 (and quite a few decades, even centuries more, in some places) is a Roman invention.
I dont really comment that much, but this channel really is Godsent! Such a soothing voice while telling amazing, informative histories. I can't recommend you enough to my friends and family. Keep up the great work!
I love your videos so much & this was a very interesting topic. just one thing, i am from Guatemala (in central America) & the image of the calendar you used when you starting mentioning the mayan is actually an Aztec calendar, but besides that tiny detail everything about how the Mayan saw the time (and still do, we still have multiple Mayan communities) is accurate ✨
Tbh.. i am looking for this channel again and just found it today. Coz last week this video made me relax so much that i went to sleep. Love your voice and thank u for this 🙏🙏🙏
Honestly, a solution you could try. I couldn't focus for more than 1 mnts on anything. And then I consumed edible marujana ball (munakka/bhola). I've never had ADHD since that day onwards. NEVER. Not even when I don't consume it. In fact, the first thing after taking it I did was listen to a medivial Indian classic musical piece concert which was 2 hours long.
Yeahhh!! Love all your videos sir! Interestingly enough, you say our days of the week are named about the Norse gods, however in Italian for example, their days of the week were named after the Roman gods
1st rate work , easy to follow, informative, diverse, in depth. Fantastic! Facts plus myth and wide indepth info you just don't this kind of learning entertainment!
When you talked about the Mayan calendar you showed the Aztec calendar, and what about the Jewish calendar they use a different method of counting time too.
The Germanic days of the week are translations of the Roman ones, you can still see the originals in some Romance languages. For example, Tuesday (Tyr’s day) is named after Tyr, the Germanic war God because it was called Mars’ Day in Latin, the day of the Roman war God, Freya was used as an analogue for Venus, hence Venus’ day became Friday, and Jove’s day (Jove being a name for Jupiter) became Thursday as they’re both thunder Gods, consider the French Mardi, Vendredi, & Jeudi (Marsday/Tuesday, Venusday/Friday, & Joveday/Thursday respectively). Modern Romance languages don’t usually call Sunday Sunday but rather Godday or The Lord’s Day, as Sol, the sun, was the chief God of the late Roman pantheon and Sunday is a holy day for Christians when God rested Some languages like Albanian just transliterated weekday names from Romance languages. On the other hand some have entirely different weekdays. For example Serbian (other Slavic languages have the same etymological roots for weekday names): Sunday isn’t named after the sun but rather Nedelja Ne Delja, no tasks, no work, or no labour as it’s a day of rest. Nedelja has also come to mean week Monday is Ponedeljak, “Aftersunday” or more literally “Afternowork” or “afterweek” Tuesday, Utorak, apparently derives from a proto Slavic word meaning “second” as it’s the second day of the week Wednesday is Sreda, middle, as it’s in the middle of the week, which starts on Monday Thursday, Četvrtak means roughly “the Fourth” Friday, Petak, is the fifth Subota means Sabbath, and Sabbath in Hebrew also means idleness or rest, so I guess Saturday and Sunday have the same meaning
Blue light filter, grayscale, and your soothing voice, what a perfect recipe to fall asleep. God, I wish this is a podcast. Keep up the good work man. 👏
I'm new to your channel and absolutely LOVING what I'm seeing at the moment. Pardon me but at 2:40 is Gilgamesh (I assume that's Gilgamesh) wearing a wrist-watch? "Oooooooo.... Ancient Astronauts!"
I really love your awesome content. But I would love it even more, if the videos were longer every now and then. I could listen to your presentation style all day, so I'd love to see longer videos.
Listen, as much as I love your videos, the monolith you use as the first image when talking about the Mayan calendar is 1. Not mayan but Meshica (Aztec), 2. Built around the 16th centuries CE, and 3. Probably not a calendar at all (cf. Piedra del Sol / Aztec Sun Stone displayed in Mexico City) Aside from being from the wrong culture, it could be between 1400+ and 1800+ years apart from the earliest evidence of Long Count artifacts in Mesoamerica. That's like using the Mona Lisa as an example of art in the 2nd century Roman Empire, while also arguing it's Celtic, and saying it's a mosaic.
Absolutely agree with you, and Celtic historians would also say that 'Celtic' is such a broad classification of a vast area of tribes, cultures and times it does the exact same thing you're describing.
Noo you mixed up Chronos, the titan of time, with Cronos, the father of Zeus and his siblings. Considering how well your videos you usually make, I think this is a big confusion to make but to be fair, it's a letter in difference
I remember watching "waking life" and one of the characters talked about the book of acts. and discussed how time was a shroud pulled over our face. something along those lines. i wanted to ask you for a video covering the book of acts. thanks for the great vid as always.
Time is just a flat circle maaaaaaaaaan But seriously, another great video, as usual! I love hearing about analyses like this about early historical revelations. I'm sure you've heard about the Antikythera no doubt, and there's a channel called Clickspring that is attempting to recreate one using approximations of the types of tools people would have had access to at the time, even though they may have not found evidence of these tools, it's a really neat channel and if you haven't seen it already, I think you'd dig it! Chris has actually worked with a university to help determine some of the more unknown components of the lunar calendar found on it, a lot of the discussions of it in this video crossed over quite a bit with his breakdown after the paper was published!
Love your videos, as always congratulations! One thing on this one though, I don’t know if someone else has mentioned it but most of the imagery you use while talking about the maya, is of aztec / mexica origin (the gods and the calendar, for instance; when you talk of ququmatz the image is of quetzalcoatl, the sun stone when talking of the maya calendar, etc). Just nitpicking here though, there are lots of analogies and similarities between both civilizations, and the reflections of the video are unaffected by this.
The image used twice for Mayan calendar is the Aztec Sun Stone (not Mayan, not calendar). It's a massive stone sculpture used as a platform for gladiatorial combat.
One note, you got almost all the details about leap years wrong. The leap year system you described is the Julian (Roman) system. In actuality a year is 365.2422 days long and so the Gregorian calendar has the minor modification of skipping 3 leap years every 400 years to more closely approximate that.
i wish you would have mentioned the islamic (lunar) and the persian (solar) calendars as well. north korea is not the only country that uses a calendar different than the gregorian one
9:42, this is entirely incorrect. The Julian Callander included leap years, what Gregory added was the lack of a leap year ever ~100 years or so. After 2000 years the Julian Calendar is only about a month off
Very good on this one! The only thing id have liked to have seen more of is the very real thought that time is simply a construct of man. The only true time, I believe, is the movements of the heavenly bodies. You can see all in that that is necessary for a well- lived life. Since I've started practicing this mostly and removed my watch, calendars, clocks, etc from my areas. Life becomes much, much less hectic. If I don't overuse that information, I feel much less pushed for or by anything that is to come. Also the past, as well. Of course, there are certain times for things, but it's just as easy to learn how to look for it in nature than by looking at a clock.
A “more secular” way of writing AD and BC is using CE (Common Era) and BCE (Before Common Era). It works exactly the same as AD time but using the different notation at the end ie. AD 2022 = 2022 CE. It’s been in use from about the 17th century and popularity has increased in recent years.

Monday is Ponedeljak, “Aftersunday” or more literally “Afternowork” or “afterweek”
Tuesday, Utorak, apparently derives from a proto Slavic word meaning “second” as it’s the second day of the week
Wednesday is Sreda, middle, as it’s in the middle of the week, which starts on Monday
Thursday, Četvrtak means roughly “the Fourth”
Friday, Petak, is the fifth
Subota means Sabbath, and Sabbath in Hebrew also means idleness or rest, so I guess Saturday and Sunday have the same meaning

Blue light filter, grayscale, and your soothing voice, what a perfect recipe to fall asleep. God, I wish this is a podcast. Keep up the good work man. 👏
I'm new to your channel and absolutely LOVING what I'm seeing at the moment. Pardon me but at 2:40 is Gilgamesh (I assume that's Gilgamesh) wearing a wrist-watch? "Oooooooo.... Ancient Astronauts!"
I really love your awesome content. But I would love it even more, if the videos were longer every now and then. I could listen to your presentation style all day, so I'd love to see longer videos.
You have a very soothing voice. This is a therapeutic vid bro
Love your video! Full of so much awesome information 😊 Although the Titanic sank of 15 April 1912. Last month was 110 years.
Always such an utter delight to receive your new compilation! From Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦😎🌹
I’d love to watch a whole documentary of this!
I absolutely love this channel! I am so using this video on my next class. Thanks so very much!
Best short historical content on youtube for sure!
I'm so impressed by this film. I love thinking about things beyond belief and this is really making me think. Grate film I appreciate it!
Listen, as much as I love your videos, the monolith you use as the first image when talking about the Mayan calendar is 1. Not mayan but Meshica (Aztec), 2. Built around the 16th centuries CE, and 3. Probably not a calendar at all (cf. Piedra del Sol / Aztec Sun Stone displayed in Mexico City)
Aside from being from the wrong culture, it could be between 1400+ and 1800+ years apart from the earliest evidence of Long Count artifacts in Mesoamerica.
That's like using the Mona Lisa as an example of art in the 2nd century Roman Empire, while also arguing it's Celtic, and saying it's a mosaic.
Absolutely agree with you, and Celtic historians would also say that 'Celtic' is such a broad classification of a vast area of tribes, cultures and times it does the exact same thing you're describing.
Noo you mixed up Chronos, the titan of time, with Cronos, the father of Zeus and his siblings. Considering how well your videos you usually make, I think this is a big confusion to make but to be fair, it's a letter in difference
Probably one of my favs of yours, thanks so much man!
I remember watching "waking life" and one of the characters talked about the book of acts. and discussed how time was a shroud pulled over our face. something along those lines. i wanted to ask you for a video covering the book of acts. thanks for the great vid as always.
*Just as a note,
you are first showing the aztec calendar when talking about the mayan one,
then it appears again.
Love your channel.
You make high quality content everytime. The subjects you choose are super interesting, keep it up. You're becoming one of my favorite youtubers
Time is just a flat circle maaaaaaaaaan
But seriously, another great video, as usual! I love hearing about analyses like this about early historical revelations.
I'm sure you've heard about the Antikythera no doubt, and there's a channel called Clickspring that is attempting to recreate one using approximations of the types of tools people would have had access to at the time, even though they may have not found evidence of these tools, it's a really neat channel and if you haven't seen it already, I think you'd dig it!
Chris has actually worked with a university to help determine some of the more unknown components of the lunar calendar found on it, a lot of the discussions of it in this video crossed over quite a bit with his breakdown after the paper was published!
Brilliant, I love the song at the start and melodic and meaningful it is
Man, I love your channel
Sush a great work man. How you presented, linked the subjects, and edited the video. Thumbs up, awesome content.
Awesome video, loved the imagery and content!
Love your videos, as always congratulations! One thing on this one though, I don’t know if someone else has mentioned it but most of the imagery you use while talking about the maya, is of aztec / mexica origin (the gods and the calendar, for instance; when you talk of ququmatz the image is of quetzalcoatl, the sun stone when talking of the maya calendar, etc). Just nitpicking here though, there are lots of analogies and similarities between both civilizations, and the reflections of the video are unaffected by this.
I don't know why I got so tickled at the idea of the universe being created on October 6.
Fun fact : A country named Nepal is living jn future and their calendar is in 2079 year
Absolutely brilliant as always, Hoche!
The image used twice for Mayan calendar is the Aztec Sun Stone (not Mayan, not calendar). It's a massive stone sculpture used as a platform for gladiatorial combat.
One note, you got almost all the details about leap years wrong. The leap year system you described is the Julian (Roman) system. In actuality a year is 365.2422 days long and so the Gregorian calendar has the minor modification of skipping 3 leap years every 400 years to more closely approximate that.
Your research leads to such interesting and informative content, absolutely love this channel! Hope you're doing what you love and keep on doing it 💪🏽
So glad I found your channel
I love this channel! Every vid is a treat. Cheers mate
Fantastic video, would love to see more videos regarding the topic of time
I absolutely love your channel and I'm always looking forward to seeing more amazing content from you
I appreciate the effort you put in what you do. Such a great job. Your videos are so entertaining and informative. Can't wait for a new video
i wish you would have mentioned the islamic (lunar) and the persian (solar) calendars as well. north korea is not the only country that uses a calendar different than the gregorian one
Great video. Hope you expand this into a series!
YAYUH, new vid 👌
Thanks i was really bored just earlier
Great work and good conclusion thank you hochelaga
9:42, this is entirely incorrect. The Julian Callander included leap years, what Gregory added was the lack of a leap year ever ~100 years or so. After 2000 years the Julian Calendar is only about a month off
Good video. I'm glad you brought up holocene/human era calendars, I have one next to me!
Very good on this one! The only thing id have liked to have seen more of is the very real thought that time is simply a construct of man. The only true time, I believe, is the movements of the heavenly bodies. You can see all in that that is necessary for a well- lived life. Since I've started practicing this mostly and removed my watch, calendars, clocks, etc from my areas. Life becomes much, much less hectic. If I don't overuse that information, I feel much less pushed for or by anything that is to come. Also the past, as well. Of course, there are certain times for things, but it's just as easy to learn how to look for it in nature than by looking at a clock.
A “more secular” way of writing AD and BC is using CE (Common Era) and BCE (Before Common Era). It works exactly the same as AD time but using the different notation at the end ie. AD 2022 = 2022 CE. It’s been in use from about the 17th century and popularity has increased in recent years.
I just don’t know why people would want to use CE and BCE instead of their precursors.
It’s still religious just coated in secularism. The point of differentiation by is still Christ.
@@whenthedustfallsaway yeah I guess but I guess it still annoys me that we are taking out Christ’s name in it.
Your videos are just perfect and high quality. Good job man. As always very interesting. (:
Soo interesting how do you come up with all of those cool topics
I love your channel so much every upload makes my day 10000000 times better
It's a good day when hochelaga gifts the world a knowledge nugget.
Man i love your videos, so i have to point out that in the moment you started talking about the Mayas you displayed an Aztec calendar.
I really enjoyed learning about time through this video! Excellent work!
Man I'd watch a whole series on the concept and history of time if you made it
Their voice is so soothing
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
Unfortunately, we will not be here to see if people will think of you as of Ramses II after 3.300 years and if famous poets will write poetry about you.
@@ozymandiasnullifidian5590 time doesn't stop, a million years from now the remaining people will remember me as much as they'll remember Ramses II
@@joaoaguiar4306 Why would the world remember you? Ramzes II was the biggest pharaoh of Egypt, he built enormous buildings, he fought and was victorious, he was royalty, and every child in the world leans bout him. \Who will learn about t=you, what have you done to be remembered? I doubt that your great grand nephews will remember you. Time doesn't stop, but all people are not remembered, just very important people.
@@ozymandiasnullifidian5590 why the fuck a ramses II stan is trash talking me lol, i have no idea what he did in life, and soon enough no one will remember him, chill
damn ur vids are always just so cool no matter what you're talking about
Your content is just excellent, looking forward to more!
Grazie per i bellissimi contenuti che porti ❤️
