Agriculture and the domestication of animals 10,000 years ago in the Near East creates larger communities and new cultural organization - from herders to warriors...
This video is a brief excerpt from interviews filmed with Joseph Campbell shortly before his death in 1987, previously unreleased by the Joseph Campbell Foundation - www.jcf.org
Just an FYI: If not for the tireless work of everyone at the Joseph Campbell Foundation, none of these clips would exist. People were hired to put these videos together from mountains of raw footage. Nothing comes for free. The JCF is a not-for-profit organization running on a shoe string budget. Maintaining copyrights not only protects the foundation legally, but helps offset the cost of continuing to collate and publish unreleased material. There is a lot more to come. Please support the JCF.
@ clemsy diggs. Ads from TH-cam would alone make lots of money to the cambell foundation than having few ppl buying the videos. So why not put the whole video in youtube? TH-cam is not national it's international. Kinda like coke/Pepsi.
He is the mark of the highest most honest fascinated intelligence....a joy to listen
seem a little stressed? but i like what he has to say.
Wow … I love listening to him … he makes it make so much sense.
He is so brilliant, thank you for your contributions Joseph Campbell!
Thanks for the upload too.
wow
what I wouldn't give for a gods eye view of ancient history.
Campbell makes history come to life with his thrilling narration.
@Dee Seee Then why are you here? 😂😂😂
@Dee Seee A clown? You've just betrayed your stunning ignorance for all to see. Campbell has led more people to a greater understanding of the divine and sacred than any ill-informed comment of yours.
Now go and watch some cat videos - or better still, some on punctuation - and leave alone those trying to understand the mystery of being. Your God should be ashamed of you.
@Dee Seee I came across Campbell long before TH-cam was a thing, idiot 😂
If all men lie then doesn't that apply to you also? Or do you consider your petty little self divine? Seriously, learn some grammar, syntax and punctuation - you might come across with a little more credibility.
Those cat videos won't watch themselves. Get to it! 😁
@Dee Seee What's truly pathetic is your attempt to appear knowledgeable. You're a clown and an unfunny one at that. And please don't assume what I believe as I'm embarrassed for you.
Now go and play in the shallow end of human understanding because you're drowning 😂😂😂
@Dee Seee Ah, what some WHITE freemason tells me. That comment tells me all I need to know about you . . . 😁
Essential history that is taught without prejudicial leanings nor glossed over with condescending smugness. A great scholar.
I can watch Mr. Campbell all day. You don't want to miss a word, a sentence as there are gems throughout.
I have done the research and read his works with open eyes, open mind, and open heart. I don't care what he was, or how he lived his life. What he wrote about about (and lived) made my life and my world better, and he did the same for many.
What do you mean "what he was"?
Robert Corker That was 7 years ago! In essence? It’s more about the message than the messenger.
@@4EMF what did you mean "what he was", though? Gay, vegan, crossfitter, motorcyclist, Buddhist, Patriots fan? What exactly was he besides a scholar?
Robert Corker doesn’t matter what he was or wasn’t - what he shared with the world made the world a better place
spiro no box
Campbell is one of my greatest heroes.
What the media says about a person has no value to me. If Mr. Campbell is a racist, then I am sad for his soul, but I have only gained good things from this man. What we focus on rises to the top. In other words, we are what we think, and what we say of others is most often, about our own selves.
They tried to say my guy was racist?:0
So appreciate being able to listen to this remarkable scholar, a true gift to anyone seeking wisdom outside of their cultural box. Thank you for posting these talks.
I play a lot of Age of Empires III and I find the wall to be the most essential structure in the game. It saves you from having to mount a panicked defense of your settlement when the barbarian hordes arrive. It gives you room to breathe and time to think.
Wise words :p
Perennially relevant
Furthermore, the strategic advantage of having walls is such that the game made it very costly (at least in AoE2). Especially when you compare to the resources needed to build other buildings.
I'll bet you are something to contend with wherever you go
Must add to that by putting watch towers at each corner and highly targeted areas.
A huge influence in my life. Brilliant!
Thank you joseph and to the person who put this on youtube...you arevawesome.
Incredible. Such an encyclopedic knowledge. Fascinating about the origins of our cultures, myths, and cultures.
To learn is to grow to be willing to learn is growth
the system of education here wasn't made to engage students into this kind of
wisdom
Definitely not. Nor does it promote crtical nor creative thinking. Twas created to make slaves, program the minds of youth a certain way, and that's what it do. om mu qui.
You would almost think it was created to do the opposite. If you go with actual function as definition, that's what the apparatus seems to do. Makes all useful information, and the gathering and processing thereof, entirely boring by association with either rote memorization or worse yet, today's claptrap...

Exactly
Joseph Campbell was a huge influence in my life. Many people now do not know of his rich contribution to humanity; the Sacredness of Life shared by ALL CULTURES regardless of different religions and languages. We are all telling the same story/myth with different words/symbols. I am glad there is a foundation to honor him, but your videos do no justice to the Power of this man and the words he spoke. Please vitalize this channel. It will be appreciated by many. Thank you.
Ten years ago. You were on bath salts when you wrote this
@@brianthomason5022 You may have a point here (bath salts?) lol. I must have been reacting off someone’s detrimental comment about Joseph Campbell. I’ve nothing but respect for the man. And my comment about revitalizing this channel? Looks very fine to me now. Do not know how it was set up 8-10 years ago. Peace.
Netflix has several Campbell videos you can stream...
@theutd: Actually, Campbell's work is used by many, many teachers. I show the first episode of The Power of Myth to my senior classes, and know of quite a few educators who use the steps in the Hero Journey. Indeed, I emphasize with my seniors that graduation IS crossing the threshold...
Thank you, this gives hope...
Robert, I think you're best bet to find the whole series, besides ordering and purchasing it, is through your local library. It is well worth the effort.
@theutd - Our present system is one that depends on conformity and submission to authority. If Campbell's work was taught to school children it would be harder to mold people into what the system wants. For example Campbell talks about how the process of maturing involves finding your own path in life and how western tradition was built on questioning authority. This explains why we have so many problems. Our system is completely at odds with human nature and our history.
Correction: Joseph Campbell spoke of 10,000 BC, not 10,000 years ago (as incorrectly mentioned in this video description) as the period when domestication of certain animals occurs in the Near East.
Correction: Joseph Campbell spoke of 8,000 BC, which is 10,000 years ago (as incorrectly mentioned in this video's comment section by esoteric2slr)
aahhh - compelled to be so 'right' about things spoke of in general sense , are you sunshine..?
- whats it like to be so 'constipated' , hmmm...?
I thought Sumer was the first civilisation around 3500bc ?
Though we definitely should more, it's funny you should mention it because we study Joseph Campbell pretty extensively in the comparative religion class in my school.
Definitely. He's a key figure in that study.
Genius
@WilhelmDrake Sometimes. The bible is both a historical
and spiritual document but, not always accurate.
If you require the bible to be literal, then you are going to
be disappointed.
It is a metaphor. Exodus, is not about a tribe, who enslaved,
becomes free and then quests for the Promise Land.
It's about the liberation of the soul from its own enslavement.
It's the fault of the 'religious' that people are unable to
see the bible's wisdom & truth.
I’ve been awoken
This is my lifes work and interests where my being lies between self help social behavior, dualism, mysticism taking the truths and commonality..studies of all religions from time and memorial and combining all the greatest strengths of wisdom 🙏...he seems very familiar like I know him for some reason..facial structure and body accent...maybe we have met in a past life haha rip Joseph Campbell hotep you were a genius scholar ..
@WilhelmDrake When you let go of a self-centric life (deny yourself) and accept your burdens (take up your cross) it sounds more like a fine way to live out one's days, instead of any attachment to a figure of such acrimony and argument as Jesus - a religious figure. What has religion to do with living one's life in partnership with our burdens, making peace with them instead of fighting them? Campbell says it all best, not biblical heresay - imho.
not fully certain every video on this channel needs to have a 25 second intro but oh well
Where can I find full-length lectures by J. C.?
Search TH-cam " Michelle Barajas-espinoza Joseph Campbell"
Netflix
... Don Howard Lawler, who led entheogenic plant experiences in South America, said that the Chavin culture there went longer than anybody without War, for 1,100 years. It is believed this is because Chavin was a spiritual center for the use of ayahuasca, and San Pedro cactus. The plants teach people how to be decent human beings. We need way more of this. Now, in 2021, sacred plant use is increasing. The decriminalize nature movement and the thank you plant medicine movement is helping with this. We have had way too much random willy-nilly criminalizing of sacred plants in the United States.
Because wisdom is too cool to be taught in schools. The internet is relatively unbounded, yet every day, another great story teller dies of old age without ever finding his or her way onto TH-cam. That's the disaster, but one that we can easily prevent if we want to. These stories will never become uninteresting.
I wonder what his thoughts were on more ancient human civilizations? I wonder if he truly bought into the theory humans didn't build earlier than 10,000 years ago
De center of a city is always a temple because life wants to build itself up into das height with pillars and steps
Who are these priests he talks about that controls us, spiritually, astrolgically and myths he spoke of????
"They" don't want us to know....
The rise of the Great Pirates of Buckminster Fuller.
So it came to pass at the 40 days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made. The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether and Mash. Arphaxad begot Salah, and Salah begot Eber. Then he sent out a Raven, which kept going to and fro until the waters had dried up from the earth. And Abraham said ,
" My Son God, will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering." ( Yjas ) Look at the Ravens how they neither toll nor till the ground and God Himself provide for them.
Google Joseph Cambell Foundation,its all there.
This man is brilliant 👌👍🏻 his a great genius.
Especially when he was talking and comparing the indo europeans with the semitics.
I have just come across him for the very first time as he was cited as inspiration for an artist I love. I was trying to find the 6 part documentary he made just before his death. "The Power of Myth". Do you or anyone else know where I might find this on the web. I cannot find it on TH-cam.
Robert J. Williamson google for bill Moyers who did the interview or pbs who aired it. I donated to pbs for the dvd 2 decades ago!
My wife of 41 years died in December. Going through some old VHS video tapes, I found "The Power of Myth" I recorded off PBS when it first aired. I taped it on the slowest speed so although the quality is poor, all six hours fit onto one tape. As @J Jayne said, you can probably still get it from PBS or Bill Moyers.
I learn about this guy in my school, I go to an alternative school though.
Reminds me of the film Seven Samurai
What he says makes a lot of sense, and it's fascinating to listen. I guess he didn't gain a broader recognition in his country because he treats the stories of the Bible as what they are - another set of myths. It makes Christians angry.
Would have been cool to see Joseph Campbell talk with Randal Carlson and Graham Hancock.
@jhgosnell I agree that some could handle it, but the ones that could handle it wouldn't be the ones that would be standing in front picketing the schools.Theyre still debating whether to still teach evolution in the South. It's really sad...
Brilliant!

Agriculture started in India. This guy is super intellectual but his data is outdated. First animal to be domistocated are Cows. Cows are the sole reason for human kind to settle down and farm and use milk as food untill next crop grows. Cows enabled agriculutre. This happened in Hindustan 10k years ago.
Boy are you misinformed
...and now we have people specializing in being celebrated...the media acting as priesthood.
And it's scary how bad it's gotten, no?
What? No the priesthood acts as the priesthood. The media reports what people will click or read. It's that people are willing to put trash (Fox News) in their minds that makes makes them profitable. You are viewing media now, silly. Do you just mean journalists who report truthfully about things you have delusions about?
@@fkerpants No

"It's that people are willing to put trash (Fox News) in their minds that makes makes them profitable."
Is there anyone worse than Fox News?
"Do you just mean journalists who report truthfully about things you have delusions about?

Why do you think this person is delusional?
How in the hell is that an explanation?

Why do people in comments use the term "empirical" so much and so wrong? Just saying...
... Interesting.... Riane Eisler, in her book, the chalice and the blade, wrote that 10000 BC was approximately the time the culture changed from a partnership culture to a dominator culture. The Dominator culture has been getting worse ever since.
GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME THANK YOU JESUS FOR SENDING YOUR SON TO DIE FOR MY SINS PEOPLE WHY DON'T BELIEVE I'LL KEEP Y'ALL IN MY PRAYERS!!!!!!
@theutd bc schools r not meant to educate. instead, they r meant to indoctrinate....ther is a huge difference as i believe u r aware.

Did I just hear that last part right? Starting from 8:19: Were the ancient people governed and their cities coordinated and validated by ancient extraterrestrials? Interesting...
+hebince44 He did not say that. If you knew his work better, you would know that he believed nothing of the kind.
You really did read into that whatever you wanted didn't you? -- Christianity, or any religion by the way, does inform it's art, architecture, values, holidays, rites language and the like so it's not a bad assessment to put it the way Campbell did; no it's not aliens dude.
the fact that the cattle sheep people most likely had way more meat for a diet and the farm people had more of a grain vegetable diet.
because of the protein factor might have also played a part in the cattle people being big strong aggressive folks and the farm people more defence oriented and the others more offence oriented ... weird they were broken up into 3 food groups sort of how the governments of the world even to this day suggest as a diet for the people
@theutd The Christians would freak out.

You don't have a clue what you're talking about. Civilisation first began in ancient Mesopotamia, not Egypt. And the origins of the word "cherub" are from the Hebrew word "kĕrūbh".

Pomarium!
This video is a travesty of ancient historical knowledge. Almost all the historical remarks he had made are whether incorrect or hugely anachronistic. I can not stop laughing in watching him.
I'd better to prepare a video says "why joseph campbell sucks according to actual archaeological data and historical discipline"
@@Sepken13 Do you have a source so I could compare, because I happen to agree with Campbell but I am open to information if his infomraiton is not fully accurate.
well, it's been a year. Where's the video, big boy?
do u have sources?
love kieslowski btw
When he speaks about the male/female principle in regards to herding/agriculture, I find this is (given available evidence) empirically wrong. Agriculture gave rise to more patriarchal societies, as women would before gather as much or even more than men could hunt (wealth accumulation and inheritance makes control of the wife's virginity crucial as well). As to how central or equal were women before that, evidence so far is not clear, but Jung seems to have been a bit quick in establishing the "female goddess/mother goddess" centrality withouth sufficient proof.
I'm open to criticism, again just trying to get the empirical truth here.
I think he's referring to the earliest agricultural societies, especially in contrast to the proto-herding cultures adjacent to them. To my understanding, the theory goes something like one branch of these herders (often referred to as the kurgan folk) were warlike, sky-god worshippers and subjugated their earth goddess-worshipping proto-agricultural neighbors, integrating and hybridizing their mythologies giving rise to the modern male deity agricultural societies.
You're viewing what he's saying through a Western equality/feminist lens, not an anthropological/mythological/psychological lens. The two may be related but I think you missed his point, which is about the structure of the myths of societies and how they correlate to the economic base of sustenance. You can see an example of both mythological structures in modern society that support what he is saying...environmentalism is earth-centered/worship, matriarchal, and many of its adherents are even vegetarians, while those that raise animals for slaughter such as cattlemen in the West are more prone to patriarchal mythic structures, mainly traditional Christianity.
Sugarsail1 Im not making a political statement, but an empirical, historical statement. I'm fairly confident that given avalaible evidence in the historical social sciences, what he says about "what happened" (what actually happened) in the development of mythic structures is wrong, as was what Jung said about there being a movement from the mother goddess to a more patriarchal God. Same goes for agriculture relating to patriachy, it's not a value judgement, its an empirical matter relating to the social development of the species.
Francesco Gissi Díaz Youre wrong. Indo-European and semitic cultures were indeed much more warrior like and patriarchal than the agricultural societies. There is no dispute over this.
WindyFellow I was talking of the movement from pre-agricultural, hunter gatherer societies to agricultural societies, and that such movement increased patriarchy, which I believe to be a well substantiated statement. I don't recall mentioning indo-european or semitic cultures, but those were by any measure agricultural societies.
Oh dear, your comment is too darn long i simply cannot spend precious time reading it. Go pester someone else boy.
I hate the JCF! Let off and let Joseph's vision loose! Wait, too late for you!

anti-semite, because he obviously didn't know what he was talking about
the hell are you talking about?
If only he were.
I disagree with some of his facts. There is no such thing as civilization until ancient egyptians came on the scene. The arabs never had one. I should said the semites. It was when narmer when into the north east africa which is call the middle east. He brought civilization with him and deities. The semites copied their deities off ancient africans. Egypt was the first great real civilization and it lasted for 3k yrs.
