But that’s like saying which sounds more possible: A human with horns like those of bulls OR A Spider: with 8 legs stretching from its body and countless dots as their window to see Similarity doesn’t equal to plausibility.
I wonder if the person mentioning that creature in the bible could ever imagine how much time would be spent trying to figure out what the word was referring to. Perhaps it was just a joke.
It's a straight up massive fire breathing ocean dragon that literally existed somewhere, sometime, and might still! The chance could exist of you seeing one today, though I don't know if I'd want to!
@@cootmaster lol, I was gonna say how big does a whale have to be before it's a sea monster and you beat me to the observation. Made me smile to learn that, too. Thank you.
It's because Russians first heard of these creatures through the Bible since they didn't travel to Africa before becoming Christians. That's why when they actually saw a hippo for the first time, they were like 'oh, I've read about that one' and named it a бегемот (begemót)
@@cecily_cardew well u can't explain why hippoes are called behemoth in georgian as kitty wolf gamer mentioned cus georgian is one of the ancient languages
So you’re telling me that the whole idea of dragons being fire breathing serpents just came from a miscommunication about how the venom of a snake feels?
Fun fact: in Chinese and Japanese folklore, theres a quilin/kirin, which is a large deer or goat-like creature with at least one horn, covered in scales. When Chinese emperor Yongle was given a giraffe as a present, many people in his court were convinced it was a quilin, probably because of the hooves, horns and scale-like fur print.
Behemoth in the bible is more likely a sauropod, but suggesting dinosaurs were around during ancient times can get you labeled crazy…even though dragons were literally a part of almost every ancient civilization.
@@Jabberwockybird haha which I absolutely do. I have had probably a million debates with friends about the evidence for the biblical timeline. I think if you follow the evidence with an open mind, it is very hard to deny the bible is actually history, not myth.
Can confirm, I have a childrens book on animals from the 1800's that's been passed down in my family and the name next to the Rhino is Unicorn, so the name lingered around until relativley recent
Spencer the scientific Latin name for a rhino is rhinoceros unicornis. Rhino connotes nose and unicorn means one horn. Although the Bible also describes at least one having two horns. A unicorn is a rhinoceros plain and simple. The book of Job, and the video I did on my channel verify this fact. I also show what is behemoth and what is leviathan. You may want to check those out.
@@bluemist3115 even though a whale is a leviathan in hebrew, I wouldn't be surprised if there were actually large sea serpents living somewhere in the depths of the ocean, as we have only explored a very small percentage. We know more about what's in space than we know what's in our oceans.
@@luisfilipe2747 Actually they only kill the most humans in Africa. In the world, disease carrying insects like mosquitoes and fleas kill on a far larger scale.
@@luisfilipe2747 Yes bro, even when talking about animals, still only in Africa. Hippos are not native everywhere in the world so it’s impossible for them to take the top spot. Snakes and wild dogs kill more humans in the world every year than hippos.
With all the myths of gods slaying giant serpents, I imagined that there might have been some prehistoric hunter-gatherer who just loved to brag about his dramatic fight with a huge snake. He must have had +6 Charisma, because the story really stuck
John 5:30: "By myself, I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me." 1. How old was Jehoiachin when he became King? - He was 8 years old. (2 Chronicles 36:9) - He was 18 years old. (2 Kings 24:8) Which one is true? how can God's word have a contradiction? 2. First Samuel:15 God orders to kill all men and women of a group and their infants and animals for a sin that was committed by their forefathers who died 400 years before.. 3. How did Judas die? - Threw pieces of silver away and hanged himself. (Matthew 27:5) - Kept the piece of silver and bought with it a field and fell headlong and burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out. (Acts 1:18) 4. How many horsemen?? - And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen. (2 Samuel 8:4) - And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen. (First Chronicles 18:4) You choose: 1. The holy spirit can lie or 2. God is not able to preserve his message or 3. its from Humans. Do your natural inclination and reasoning accept that Almighty God can be a baby, eat food, pray to his God, made lower than Angels (Hebrews 2:9) and be killed on earth, stays dead for days and needs someone to revive him (all in the bible)? Do you really believe this? John 17:3 Jesus praying to the father: "..that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." If Jesus or the holy spirit are also God, it means Jesus didn't speak the truth or they are in fact NOT God. Why is this important? The entire message contains errors and contradictions and thus it can not be from God, not only that, but it is a lie. - John 1:18: No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known." Did people see Jesus? if yes, he is not god according to the bible. - The bible says many times that God alone is immortal and all-knowing BUT Jesus when asked, said he didn't know when the last hour will come and ALSO Jesus got killed stayed dead for 3 days and needed his God to revive him, which proves he is not God. If God can do anything and even become human to "get killed for your sins", why can't he forgive without having to do all these unjust things? Why does "god" have to become human or kill his own son /Shed the blood of his son/himself to "forgive" you? If he is God, he doesn't have to do all of that. If Jesus came for the purpose of dying for your sins, why did he say "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me? (Matthew 27:46)" on the cross? isnt this what he wanted and what he came for? Jesus praying to prevent the crucifixion after telling his disciples he was depressed to the point of death, he fell and pray multiple times asking to prevent the crucifixion: Matthew 26:36-42, Mark 14:35-36, Luke 22:41-42 Example: "And continuing on a little further, he fell prostrate on his face, praying and saying: " My father, if it is possible, let this chalice pass away from me. Yet truly, let not be as i will, but as You will." A claim in a different book that Jesus is completely willing to be crucified: “Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, ‘Father, save Me from this hour? But for this purpose I came to this hour.” (John 12:27) Jesus was just a prophet with a different mother language than the bible and the church held the bible hostage for years to change it how they like and preached for a man-made religion (Historical facts, ask for evidence). "Jesus the son of Mary was no more than a messenger; many were the messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth" Quran 5:75 If you want to know why the Quran is from nonother than Allah, i will list you irrefutable evidence that the creator himself sent down the Quran. Moses split the see and Elijah rose people from the dead are they also god? Matthew 7:21 21: "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22: any will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?' 23: Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'" Who calls Jesus Lord and who does all those things today other than Christians, who don't even know what the will of the father is? The only true God, wants true monotheism, just like Jesus. If Jesus thinks he is the father, it would be the same to him if people called them both God but Jesus hated the ones who called him Lord, find me one verse about him clearly and unambiguously saying, that he is God and i will become Christian. There is no God but the one true God that sent Jesus and all the other messengers who have Books that cant hide and are easy to prove wrong or from no other than Allah (AL: The God: Ilah). The God: Ilah). I am inviting you to stop worshipping a human in a 3in1 god and to read the Quran. You must follow all of the 600+ Rules according to your Bible. Matthew 5:19 "Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven." 5: The word "Begotten" son in John 3:16 KJV is a fabrication that is only found in few bible versions. This was put there by humans who had the power to put it there and intentionally wanted to twist and change the words of the god they supposedly believed in. With today's evidence some Christian scholars were forced to admit the word "begotten" is a fabrication. "Jesus never sinned but Mohammed was a sinner": according to the bible Jesus pbuh called a woman a dog and ignored her after she asked for herlp if not for a different man who urged him to help her and Jesus said he was only sent to the lost sheep of Israel in Matthew 15. Was Jesus the only one out of all the prophets in the bible that didn't commit sin? “There is no one who is righteous, not even one” (Romans 3:10). Isn't Jesus a human that needed food, drink, protection, and provision and was willing to commit a sin in Matthew 4 after satan was tempting him? Did he not insult and call a woman a dog? If Jesus was God, would satan dare to tempt God into making a sin? God in danger of doing a sin? Violence in christianity: Luke 12:47 "That slave who knew what his master wanted, but did not prepare himself or do what was wanted, will receive a severe beating." Exodus 21:20-21 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property.“ Numbers 31:17-18 “Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man intimately. But all the girls who have not known man intimately, spare for yourselves.“ Leviticus 20:13 “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.“ Luke 19:27 "But as for these enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them-bring them here and slaughter them in my presence." Deuteronomy 25:11-12 “When men fight with one another, and the wife of the one draws near to rescue her husband from the hand of him who is beating him, and puts out her hand and seizes him by the private parts, then you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity.“ 2 Kings 2:23-25 “Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some young boys came out of the town and jeered at him. "Get out of here, baldy!" they said. "Get out of here, baldy!" He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys (children).“ You should be terrified if god was really the author of the bible. 1 Samuel 15:3-4 God orders to kill a group of people and their infants and animals for a sin that was commited by their forefathers who died 400 years before..
The most fascinating detail in this video is the fact that so many cultures across the entire world feature a battle between a chief deity and a sea serpent at the beginning of the universe.
Quite a few do, especially among the cultures that sprang from the Indo-European language tree, but the creation story in the Bible doesn't, it's extremely simple in comparison reading more like an itinerary of events then a dramatic epic between chaos and order. With that in mind, mentioning the creation stories of other faiths seems quite disingenuous.
@@Sara3346 yeah, I'm guessing other translations too. To be honest I dont trust many translations, alot of them directly change things. Like changing jehovah to god or lord.
@Ryan DeGrave yeah, the bible has been changed many times to the point where many different types of Christianity have been rooted from the different changes. Almost nobody believes in the original intentions of the text
No it literally doesn't mean whale.......what the fuck? Leviathan, Hebrew Livyatan, in Jewish mythology, a primordial sea serpent. ... In Isaiah 27:1, Leviathan is a serpent and a symbol of Israel's enemies, who will be slain by God. In Job 41, it is a sea monster and a symbol of God's power of creation. Leviathan is symbolic for satan. Lord have mercy on your ignorance. Its not even a creature of this world. It is literally Satan.
Right.. and you can make an old text and make say what we want ( take Nostradamus for example) We only believe what we choose to believe, sometimes just not the truth
@@mariopario8637 maybe because you been brainwashed by fake preachers or lousy polítics.. like i Said prevously we believe what we choose to believe... God bless you man. Hope you reach the truth somehow
With the leviathan I can bring another theory. In Hebrew there is the word “livyatan” which means whale. Those two words are similarly structured and both animals live in the deep sea.
As a Christian I'm always fascinated by these things, and one thing you have really encouraged me to do is to read the Bible in it's original language. So much has been lost in translation. I'm looking forward to more videos
Or just get a King James version and believe what it says? God promised He will preserve His word, and you dont think Him being all powerful will allow us to all have mistranslations of His Word when so much is at stake if it is written wrong? I'd suggest the documentary "New World Order Bible Versions" on framingtheworld's channed.
@@JiminyClarkson I'm exploring the Hebrew Bible... I don't regret it for even a second. As you learn the language there are some words that insinuate priority and importance in a way english can never do.

Especially Romans OMG you have no idea how much understanding it opens up
Unicorns do exist which is more believable a horse with a horn on its head or a horse with a 40 foot neck and has leopard print also known as a giraffe
Elephant bull is probably the only animal that probably does kill them in waterhole disputes though it's mostly the Cape buffalo starting shit at the watering holes.
There is another mythical animal similar to in origin to the Leviathan and the Behemoth called; the Ziz. It’s a griffin-like sky animal that’s said to block out the sun with its wingspan.

Bidoof are transportation not Pokedeities! Arceus is the King of the Pokedeities ruling over Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, & more. I admit I sometimes envision Gyarados as being a Leviathan & Giant Kyogre as the Great Fish that swallowed Jonah.
6:55 Aztec mythology has also something similar, were the gods Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca battled and slayed a giant primordial crocodile-fish like sea monster with jaws in every part of his body called Cipactli, and they shaped the Earth out of his corpse.
Probably all ties to one of the most ancient stories of our species . A story so old it was in our collective consciousness or culture before our ancestors split off to colonize the entire planet, before the crossing of Bering land bridge . The idea that the role of a hero (or a god) or even more profoundly what constitutes goodness is contending with and sorting out primordial evil to benefit the whole of the world might be one of our oldest revelations . Jordan Peterson talks to great length about this in his biblical lectures - pretty interesting stuff .
In Norse mythology, there's also a gigantic serpent named "Jormungandr" who holds the world together by encircling it with its' gigantic body and bites its' own tail.
Unicorns could be perfectly real creatures. Taking into account the amount of unbelievably weird mammals that existed during the last Ice Age, it's plausible to believe that some of the horse's ancestors ended up growing a horn.
not really, search "heaven design team" fragment on unicorns. There is a explanation of why horses couldnt have horns. giant goats on the other hand...
By the way, Russians call hippo as "бегемот", which sounds exactly the same behemoth sounds, but with some nuances: "h" turn into "g", and "th" turns into "t". This word is clearly bible infuenced.
I don't believe the book of Job is describing a hippo at all, because a hippo, does not have a tail as a "cedar tree" especially the cedar trees of Lebanon. Only a dinosaur has a tail on big as a Lebanon cedar tree. A hippo has a small little tail, I don't know why the video Narrator skips that part. Anyway the description about the tail is on Job CH-40, V-17.
with the unicorn: i wonder how many “mythical” creatures were actually real animals that were distorted by third hand descriptions. or how many were completely real, like for example cave art in australia included drawings of many now-extinct animals that are also described in oral legends/ songs
Exactly! With how many species that have gone extinct in just the past couple hundred years, it’s completely moronic to think that in the course of two thousand years we haven’t lost one or two creatures, creatures that we now consider myth. The Unicorn is known throughout many ancient civilizations, civilizations that we’re told had no communication with one another, so you’re telling me they all made the exact same mistake just by coincidence... then again that does sound like modern, mainstream archeology in a nutshell.
@@82pythons85 If there were that many unicorns present we’d have fossils and a lot of bones, and information did travel in the places these biblical stories took place, it’s just it was oral and took decades, soooo you know, someone could’ve seen a bat and because of how religious and uneducated people were back then it would probably degrade to become some demonic bs, like the “leviathan”. And modern mainstream archeology and paleontology is a lot more accurate than some guy talking about the behemoth he saw while drinking rum and eating bread at his village.
@@danksanchez4324 I mean, an animal like vaquita >today< exist only because of a large group effort to preserve it, and yet there's only something around 10 around the entire planet, if it comes to die they'll know how to recover his fossil. Now what do you think that would happen if a animal this rare went extinct millions of years ago?
@@luisfilipe2747 well according to all these legends it would be thousands of years ago, not millions, and even if they went extinct, seeing as how they were apparently everywhere, even Scotland we’d have even more well preserved remains. It’s not impossible it’s just improbable and much more easily explained by human error; misinformation, and poor knowledge of animals during those times.
*books It’s a book not a chapter I found a similar love for it in its descriptions as well :) I’d recommend Paradise Lost if you are interested in an incredible journey, through imagery. It’s a masterclass in that regard!
Random Jew here, I've done a bunch of research into Creatures of the Bible and just wanted to make some points... Unicorn: This is said to be an actual creature rather than a mythical one, it had multi-coloured skin (some say rainbow others say brown, red and blue) and one horn. Although it's shape isn't identified, we just kinda go with the horse thing. The last of the Unicorns were killed for their skins in around 1300BC. Behemoth: Other than the description in Job, we don't have much to go off of, the Hippo idea has been suggested by some, but others belive that it is actually a giant creature that will be killed for the Feast of Redemption (explained further down). The only other thing to go on is the name שור הבר 'Wild Bull' which gives us the massive cow idea. Leviathan: The Leviathan is described as more Whale-like rather than Serpentine. In Jewish legend all of the World's continents actually float on the ocean rather than being solid rock, and the Leviathan exists underneath the land. The Leviathan is chained to the bottom of the sea by G-d, because if it were able to move it would destroy the world simply through the water displament when it moves its fins. Every 40 years or so G-d let's then chains slack a bit and the Leviathan moves a bit, causing earthquakes and tsunami's. Fish willingly swim into it's mouth for it to feed. Both the Leviathan and Behemoth were created during the 6 Days of Creation with a mate, the Female of both was killed instantly as if these creatures were allowed to procreate, they would destroy the world. When the Jewish Messiah comes the Leviathan and Behemoth would do battle, killing each other in the process. We would then have the Feast of Redemption with the meat of these creatures, to celebrate the start of the Messianic Era. The name Leviathan comes from its Hebrew name לויתן (Liv-ya-than). Nephilim: As mentioned in the video, there are two main interpretations of Nephilim, Fallen Angels and Giants, however both of these beings actually exist in Jewish Legend so here goes... Fallen Angels: There are two main stories considering Fallen Angels, the first is with Adam, before Adam's mate Chavah was created the Demon Queen Lil!th (you're not meant to say/write her name 🤷♂️) had kids with Adam, these human/demon hybrids are known as Fallen Angels. I should mention that "Demons" in Jewish Legend isn't the same as in modern culture, all creations - even Satan - are just doing G-d will, it's just some of them have to do the dirty work, those are Demons (simple explanation, it's obviously a lot more complicated). The second story is around Noah's time, two Angels came to G-d and said "See, told you so, man are terrible, let us go down to Earth and show you how we are better then them". These two Angels - Shamchazai and Azael - came to Earth and immediately 'fell' and started sinning, as with Adam their offspring they had with Humans are Fallen Angels. Giants: All Humans were 'Giants' at the beginning of the world, and slowly shortened as time went on, however some individuals didn't shorten, such as Og, who was reportedly 3 meters tall AS AN INFANT. Some estimate his adult height as around 97m (200 cubits). Goliath from the famous David and Goliath story was one of the last of the Giants to exist, at an estimated 3 meters. Other creatures: Phoenix: The Phoenix was the only creature to not participate in the Sin of the Tree of Knowledge (Adam fed the fruit to all the creatures, something which is not often mentioned these days, the Phoenix refused) G-d granted the Phoenix eternal life, every 1000 years it makes a nest of Cinnamon sticks and lights it on fire, with him burning in the flames. A new egg emerged from the flames and out comes a baby Phoenix. Human/animals Hybrids: Creatures such as Centaurs, Minotaurs, Mermaids ect do exist in Jewish Legend, just not on this world (it's complicated) "365 kinds of Human Beasts exist, some half snake half human, some half lion half human. Some have the snake half on top and some the snake half on the bottom." Golem: Guess this kinda counts, some really powerful Rabbi's gathered different kinds of mud and shaped it as a human, after some special prayer (lost to time) and putting a paper with one of G-d's name in it's mouth, the Golem rose. The Golem isn't very intelligent and can only preform basic tasks but does so till told otherwise. It was tasked to protect the Jews of Prague, Poland and did so until no longer necessary. It had the Hebrew word for 'truth' on its forehead 'אמת'. The 'א' was removed to kill it, making the Hebrew word 'מת' 'death/dead'. This was WAY longer then it should of been 😅 but if you want more creatures from Jewish Legend let me know! 👌
@@anthonyc4901 I read that part and was like "Oh... Yeah.... that totally makes sense". Nobody said tectonic plates weren't the tightly woven scales of the leviathan and volcanoes erupt due to its fiery breath.
I remember reading that giant sea serpents seen by sailors were probably whales surfacing to breathe. Look up videos of whales breaching and you'll see it's not hard to imagine sailors would mistake this gigantic smooth-skinned creature lurking just below the surface of the ocean. They might even mistake water blown out of the blow hole for smoke billowing from the monster's nostrils.
Yup. Crocodiles could very easily represent Leviathan, as it has been documented for them to spray water upwards in displays. This could easily be mistaken for steam, and of course God wants to get the creature he’s talking about across to his audience of the time so whatever they believe about the creatures he says.

@@UrajiSurafu The hippopotamus (/ˌhɪpəˈpɒtəməs/ HIP-ə-POT-ə-məs;[3] Hippopotamus amphibius), also called the hippo, common hippopotamus or river hippopotamus, is a large, mostly herbivorous, semiaquatic mammal and ungulate native to sub-Saharan Africa. It is one of only two extant species in the family Hippopotamidae, the other being the pygmy hippopotamus (Choeropsis liberiensis or Hexaprotodon liberiensis). The name comes from the ancient Greek for "river horse" (ἱπποπόταμος). We're on the internet, remember?
I wonder if the fire in the mouth myth comes from when crocs are pissed off, they’ll growl which causes the water around them to look like it’s boiling. Also, pretty sure a lot of giant myths come from finding bones of whales out of context.
in the bible translation of my language which is Indonesian, the unicorn is referred to as “lembu hutan” which is basically a wild cow, sometimes they are referred to as “keledai liar” which is a wild donkey. the behemoth is referred to as “kuda nil” which is a hippopotamus. the leviathan is referred to as “buaya” which is a crocodile

@@BurnBird1 in that psalm, leviathan is used to represent Egypt. If you read the whole psalm, it’s a dramatic retelling of the exodus. Hence why it references the parting of the sea immediately before. The Bible frequently uses leviathan as metaphor for satan or wicked nations. Job seems to be the only instance where it’s explicitly referring to leviathan as a sea monster.
In relation to the leviathan being a crocodile, the Saltwater croc in Asia and the Nile croc grew to staggering lengths and girths, in excess of nine metres. The breathing fire can be explained by the incredibly vile breath that the Saltwater croc is renowned. To describe the breath as death is not out of the realm of possibility and over repeated tellings the story could easily morphed into fire.
I find it funny that in all these other myths they have gods doing battle with these serpents, meanwhile the Hebrew God says that if you fight it you'll regret it. It's almost as if he's aware of all these other myths and taking a cheeky jab at them.
@Ryan DeGrave It's not really a fight so much as psalms implies that he killed leviathan to serve as food for the Hebrews. Theres no actual battle ever stated, only that he crushed it's head. He could have just done it with his powers effortlessly from heaven or just sent an angel to do it. The statement is extremely vague. Unlike the extensive legends about other Gods who did battle with a serpent which are very descriptive.
@Ryan DeGrave Nevermind , my doubt is already answered, i was just curious what school of thought your alegattions were coming from, but i have just been answered.. thanks for your trouble anyway
OMG crocodiles and Hippos! Hearing the descriptions I knew immediately what they would be as real animals. wooooow. very interesting video. So glad ive discovered your channel.
Yep and in the flooding of the earth it was said that only the behemoths survived with tails like a cedar tree. Sure it could be a hippo, but a sauropod would be the only thing that could survive a flooding of that caliber

As far as the battle between a god and a leviathan, Job is thought to be one of the oldest books of the bible, perhaps even before Abraham, and by proxy predating some of the religions that have that battle. It is easy to see how God's description of Leviathan could be interpreted as a retelling of a battle between the two. I love this topic, and this is probably my favorite part of biblical history.

great video! I am a native Hebrew speaker, so here are some fun notes: Leviathan, is close to the modern Hebrew word for whale, Livyatan, Hippos are mentioned in the bible by a different name (suessei yeor - nile horses), so they did know about them.

Hippos don't have tails like a cedar tree. I'm thinking God is probably describing a dinosaur here, not a hippo because in verse 19 it alludes to this creature being extinct, " He is the chief of the ways of God; He that made him can make His sword to approach unto him." meaning that even if it's the strongest of God's creations, God can still destroy the creature.
I believe it either greatly exaggerated and the Bible author(s) meant it to be a hippo or was wantedly or unwantedly exaggerated in the translation since we don’t have any copy of the original bible

Thats even how the scientist are describing it.
I've been listening to the book of Enoch, and in it he does talk about the Leviathan and the Behemoth. We can conclude that both creatures are in fact a single animal/creature not a species. He speaks of them in singular terms, though if these beings are real and not metaphorical, then they're pretty well hidden because they're supposed to eat the sinners who don't die in a future global flood.
Why are people being hella rude in the comments?? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, you can simply just say you disagree and share an insight on what you believe
Too many dumb people yeah...I simply posted this one comment on Reddit where a photo was posted of two Christian anti gay protesters. I commented that it's sad they are that way cause they were both young and looked like chill people, so sad to see they had that kinda bigoted hate. Some dumbass called "GenRej" replied with a huge essay calling me "intolerant" a "racist fuck" (though my post had nothing to do with race) and a "bigoted robot" amongst many other things. To this day I still cannot comprehend the point of his post, nor most of the comments I read on videos here, what a bunch of weirdos.
@Jason Edenburg well, it's understandable to believe a branch species of horse with a single horn existed. zebras are essentially just striped horses, so a horse with a horn isn't so farfetched
So cool! Absolutely love this topic. If you have not read him, I highly recommend Bart D. Ehrman. He is scriptural criticist and a professor at North Carolina University. Highly recommend his writings.
Please, if you can and feel like doing it, continue with this religious analysis of myths and personas, i find fascinating how many things came to us due to some "error in translations", truly a testament to the wonders of time for the human mind.
I know Hebrew (Cause I am a religious Jew), and I found this video very interesting. I am not entirely sure about the exact translation of the Hebrew word Leviathan into what it would be in English. But I believe that Whale has been an acceptable term. However, one thing I would like to point out that was not mentioned in this video, was that when God had created the Leviathan and its partner with it, he later killed the second leviathan so they couldn't have children since he was afraid the Leviathan would be to dangerous and would kill off his other creations specifically humans. Therefore, the Leviathan cannot be any creature we have seen today, because there is only one Leviathan that exists in the whole world.
Except for Buddhism probably. Because Buddha was a prince who was then enlightened and shared his views. From what I know the creation of Buddhism wasnt intentional for buddha because his discples continued sharing his words after his death, then it lead to it becoming a religion. This is just what I know though so it might not be completely accurate 😅
Makes sense with the big three monotheistic religions Judaism Christianity, Islam. I think when Muhammad went to heaven or had a vision (it’s been a while forgive me) I believe he sees Allah and Jesus or maybe it was Moses but now that I think about it Moses was not allowed into heaven because he smashed the 10 commandments. Sorry but I’m pretty sure Muhammad saw one of the prophets.
All religions are linked in that all humans are the same, and so we come up with the same stories. A good lot of the stories are also linked by common heritage, as the stories evolved from literally the same stories told and retold by different cultures. If you want to say that's just "how we interpret God" then sure, I'm not gonna stop you, but know that that's a pretty flawed way of looking at it as it still assumes Abrahamic supremacy, which is perhaps one of the most ridiculous takes. @@radicalfan8743 Plenty of parallels between Buddha and Jesus, mate. Also Muhammad and a host of similar prophet type characters. The stories about them are greatly exaggerated, which is a common theme throughout human culture. Look at Heracles, Odysseus, and other such.

There's a kind of surgical procedure, simple enough to be carried out by ancient shepherds, that can cause an animal's horns to merge into a single horn. Have you come across the theory that "unicorns" actually weren't a single type of animal, but rather any animal that had had this procedure done to them?
I'm very curious on this procedure, is there any more details on it? Especially considering they were in manuscripts on nature, it could very well be a common thing to do, so please let me know more of what you know!
To add onto the chaoskampf, its specifically storm gods at times. Really interesting pattern, similarly broken by the epic of Mwindo-- the storm god and the great dragon-figure is blood brother/comrade to the thunder god.
Anton Ekstrand Behold, Behemoth, which I made as I made you; he eats grass like an ox. Behold, his strength in his loins, and his power in the muscles of his belly. He makes his tail stiff like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together. His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like bars of iron. “He is the first of the works of God; let him who made him bring near his sword! ...
Anton Ekstrand replace the word behemoth with dinosaur and you get a similar description keep in mind that some people say job was the first book written in the bible and may be one of the first books written so who knows if they was stories going around at that time about dinosaur bones being found before they was covered up over time they would not have known the word dinosaur
@@Dreammaster695 I don't think you know much about dinosaurs. I don't think replacing the word Behemoth with dinosaurs make anymore sense. You're just try to fit a square in a triangular slot.
I would love to see a video on the history of sea monsters like the leviathan. You said there were quite a bit of them and I'm curious on their continuity and possible origin. Thanks for all your amazing videos!!!
I'm starting to think the Behemoth might just as well be a Mammoth. God's description is quite uncanny, most times Elephants eat grass even their strength is of something to be admired. The solid reason behind this is that the Book of Job is dated to be around 400 or 600 years old most prehistoric mammals were still around that time. If I am not mistaken some ancient Elephants were known to live near coastal regions and since both Behemoth and Leviathan were supposedly neighbors it is possible that this description ties to some sort of Mammoth or a Mastodon, hell there could be chance that it was a Gomphothere being described.
The book of job wasnt older than 10000-12000 years though. Its possible stories of prehistoric creatures were passed down, though through thousands of years it would become very distorted.
@@brianlin5636 I'm not so sure about that. There are records showing that the Book of Job dates no later than around the 4th to 7th century anywhere around during the time the Book of Job was being written things like Mammoths and other ancient elephants were walking around the world especially around places like Babylon, Jerusalem, and near the Mediterranean Sea. I don't think those descriptions were distorted when it pretty much has these animals pegged. They are admirably strong, eat grass like an Ox, they're very docile, stiff tails, and had legs like bars of iron. The scriptures also describe that the Behemoth resides around the waters and mountain ranges where food is located. The altitude nor environment would agree with a Hippo... but most Elephants are an exception. Furthermore, it should be noted that this rendition of William Blake's watercolour masterpiece, depicts the Behemoth with tusks and a long bovid-like tail. So therefore I don't it was all too exaggerated.
Mr. N you do know that those prehistoric animals went extinct around 12-10000 years ago. The mammoth went extinct around 4000 years ago but those mammoths were on small islands in the Arctic. 4-7th century is like 3000 years ago, no where near the time period of those animals.
@@brianlin5636 Um, no. Because the last groups of ancient elephants were still living at that time. Ancient Rome still had existed at the time, along with other well-known civilizations. I did the math as well if we subtract 4,000 years from 2020 wouldn't that be 1,980 years ago?
Mr. N oh sorry not 4000 years ago it was around 4000 bc or when the ancient Egyptians were building the pyramids. Most of the mammoths had already died by like 10000 bc but there were a few left in the Arctic, nowhere near the Middle East. There were none of the extinct ice age megafauna by the time job was written.

It's funny that "behemoth" sounds similar to Russian word "бегемот", which literary means "hippo"
It's because Russians first heard of these creatures through the Bible since they didn't travel to Africa before becoming Christians. That's why when they actually saw a hippo for the first time, they were like 'oh, I've read about that one' and named it a бегемот (begemót)
Actually in georgian language behemoth also means hippo- "ბეჰემოტი"
And also similar to re'em

@@cecily_cardew well u can't explain why hippoes are called behemoth in georgian as kitty wolf gamer mentioned cus georgian is one of the ancient languages

Can confirm, I have a childrens book on animals from the 1800's that's been passed down in my family and the name next to the Rhino is Unicorn, so the name lingered around until relativley recent
Spencer the scientific Latin name for a rhino is rhinoceros unicornis. Rhino connotes nose and unicorn means one horn. Although the Bible also describes at least one having two horns. A unicorn is a rhinoceros plain and simple. The book of Job, and the video I did on my channel verify this fact. I also show what is behemoth and what is leviathan. You may want to check those out.

You choose: 1. The holy spirit can lie or 2. God is not able to preserve his message or 3. its from Humans.
Do your natural inclination and reasoning accept that Almighty God can be a baby, eat food, pray to his God, made lower than Angels (Hebrews 2:9) and be killed on earth, stays dead for days and needs someone to revive him (all in the bible)? Do you really believe this?
John 17:3 Jesus praying to the father: "..that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." If Jesus or the holy spirit are also God, it means Jesus didn't speak the truth or they are in fact NOT God. Why is this important? The entire message contains errors and contradictions and thus it can not be from God, not only that, but it is a lie.
- John 1:18: No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known." Did people see Jesus? if yes, he is not god according to the bible.
- The bible says many times that God alone is immortal and all-knowing BUT Jesus when asked, said he didn't know when the last hour will come and ALSO Jesus got killed stayed dead for 3 days and needed his God to revive him, which proves he is not God.
If God can do anything and even become human to "get killed for your sins", why can't he forgive without having to do all these unjust things? Why does "god" have to become human or kill his own son /Shed the blood of his son/himself to "forgive" you? If he is God, he doesn't have to do all of that. If Jesus came for the purpose of dying for your sins, why did he say "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me? (Matthew 27:46)" on the cross? isnt this what he wanted and what he came for?
Jesus praying to prevent the crucifixion after telling his disciples he was depressed to the point of death, he fell and pray multiple times asking to prevent the crucifixion: Matthew 26:36-42, Mark 14:35-36, Luke 22:41-42 Example: "And continuing on a little further, he fell prostrate on his face, praying and saying: " My father, if it is possible, let this chalice pass away from me. Yet truly, let not be as i will, but as You will."
A claim in a different book that Jesus is completely willing to be crucified: “Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, ‘Father, save Me from this hour? But for this purpose I came to this hour.” (John 12:27)
Jesus was just a prophet with a different mother language than the bible and the church held the bible hostage for years to change it how they like and preached for a man-made religion (Historical facts, ask for evidence).
"Jesus the son of Mary was no more than a messenger; many were the messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth" Quran 5:75
If you want to know why the Quran is from nonother than Allah, i will list you irrefutable evidence that the creator himself sent down the Quran.
Moses split the see and Elijah rose people from the dead are they also god?
Matthew 7:21
21: "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22: any will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?'
23: Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'"
Who calls Jesus Lord and who does all those things today other than Christians, who don't even know what the will of the father is? The only true God, wants true monotheism, just like Jesus. If Jesus thinks he is the father, it would be the same to him if people called them both God but Jesus hated the ones who called him Lord, find me one verse about him clearly and unambiguously saying, that he is God and i will become Christian. There is no God but the one true God that sent Jesus and all the other messengers who have Books that cant hide and are easy to prove wrong or from no other than Allah (AL: The God: Ilah). The God: Ilah). I am inviting you to stop worshipping a human in a 3in1 god and to read the Quran.

5: The word "Begotten" son in John 3:16 KJV is a fabrication that is only found in few bible versions. This was put there by humans who had the power to put it there and intentionally wanted to twist and change the words of the god they supposedly believed in. With today's evidence some Christian scholars were forced to admit the word "begotten" is a fabrication.
"Jesus never sinned but Mohammed was a sinner":
according to the bible Jesus pbuh called a woman a dog and ignored her after she asked for herlp if not for a different man who urged him to help her and Jesus said he was only sent to the lost sheep of Israel in Matthew 15. Was Jesus the only one out of all the prophets in the bible that didn't commit sin? “There is no one who is righteous, not even one” (Romans 3:10). Isn't Jesus a human that needed food, drink, protection, and provision and was willing to commit a sin in Matthew 4 after satan was tempting him? Did he not insult and call a woman a dog? If Jesus was God, would satan dare to tempt God into making a sin? God in danger of doing a sin?

Probably all ties to one of the most ancient stories of our species . A story so old it was in our collective consciousness or culture before our ancestors split off to colonize the entire planet, before the crossing of Bering land bridge . The idea that the role of a hero (or a god) or even more profoundly what constitutes goodness is contending with and sorting out primordial evil to benefit the whole of the world might be one of our oldest revelations . Jordan Peterson talks to great length about this in his biblical lectures - pretty interesting stuff .
In Norse mythology, there's also a gigantic serpent named "Jormungandr" who holds the world together by encircling it with its' gigantic body and bites its' own tail.
Unicorns could be perfectly real creatures. Taking into account the amount of unbelievably weird mammals that existed during the last Ice Age, it's plausible to believe that some of the horse's ancestors ended up growing a horn.

It explain alot
Exactly! With how many species that have gone extinct in just the past couple hundred years, it’s completely moronic to think that in the course of two thousand years we haven’t lost one or two creatures, creatures that we now consider myth. The Unicorn is known throughout many ancient civilizations, civilizations that we’re told had no communication with one another, so you’re telling me they all made the exact same mistake just by coincidence... then again that does sound like modern, mainstream archeology in a nutshell.
@@82pythons85
If there were that many unicorns present we’d have fossils and a lot of bones, and information did travel in the places these biblical stories took place, it’s just it was oral and took decades, soooo you know, someone could’ve seen a bat and because of how religious and uneducated people were back then it would probably degrade to become some demonic bs, like the “leviathan”.

@@luisfilipe2747 well according to all these legends it would be thousands of years ago, not millions, and even if they went extinct, seeing as how they were apparently everywhere, even Scotland we’d have even more well preserved remains.

@@hamnkapten7977 my bad. Meant book. And I’ll check it out
Random Jew here, I've done a bunch of research into Creatures of the Bible and just wanted to make some points...
Unicorn: This is said to be an actual creature rather than a mythical one, it had multi-coloured skin (some say rainbow others say brown, red and blue) and one horn. Although it's shape isn't identified, we just kinda go with the horse thing.
The last of the Unicorns were killed for their skins in around 1300BC.
Behemoth: Other than the description in Job, we don't have much to go off of, the Hippo idea has been suggested by some, but others belive that it is actually a giant creature that will be killed for the Feast of Redemption (explained further down). The only other thing to go on is the name שור הבר 'Wild Bull' which gives us the massive cow idea.
Leviathan: The Leviathan is described as more Whale-like rather than Serpentine. In Jewish legend all of the World's continents actually float on the ocean rather than being solid rock, and the Leviathan exists underneath the land. The Leviathan is chained to the bottom of the sea by G-d, because if it were able to move it would destroy the world simply through the water displament when it moves its fins. Every 40 years or so G-d let's then chains slack a bit and the Leviathan moves a bit, causing earthquakes and tsunami's. Fish willingly swim into it's mouth for it to feed.
Both the Leviathan and Behemoth were created during the 6 Days of Creation with a mate, the Female of both was killed instantly as if these creatures were allowed to procreate, they would destroy the world. When the Jewish Messiah comes the Leviathan and Behemoth would do battle, killing each other in the process. We would then have the Feast of Redemption with the meat of these creatures, to celebrate the start of the Messianic Era.
The name Leviathan comes from its Hebrew name לויתן (Liv-ya-than).
Nephilim: As mentioned in the video, there are two main interpretations of Nephilim, Fallen Angels and Giants, however both of these beings actually exist in Jewish Legend so here goes...
Fallen Angels: There are two main stories considering Fallen Angels, the first is with Adam, before Adam's mate Chavah was created the Demon Queen Lil!th (you're not meant to say/write her name 🤷♂️) had kids with Adam, these human/demon hybrids are known as Fallen Angels. I should mention that "Demons" in Jewish Legend isn't the same as in modern culture, all creations - even Satan - are just doing G-d will, it's just some of them have to do the dirty work, those are Demons (simple explanation, it's obviously a lot more complicated).
The second story is around Noah's time, two Angels came to G-d and said "See, told you so, man are terrible, let us go down to Earth and show you how we are better then them". These two Angels - Shamchazai and Azael - came to Earth and immediately 'fell' and started sinning, as with Adam their offspring they had with Humans are Fallen Angels.
Giants: All Humans were 'Giants' at the beginning of the world, and slowly shortened as time went on, however some individuals didn't shorten, such as Og, who was reportedly 3 meters tall AS AN INFANT. Some estimate his adult height as around 97m (200 cubits). Goliath from the famous David and Goliath story was one of the last of the Giants to exist, at an estimated 3 meters.
Other creatures:
Phoenix: The Phoenix was the only creature to not participate in the Sin of the Tree of Knowledge (Adam fed the fruit to all the creatures, something which is not often mentioned these days, the Phoenix refused) G-d granted the Phoenix eternal life, every 1000 years it makes a nest of Cinnamon sticks and lights it on fire, with him burning in the flames. A new egg emerged from the flames and out comes a baby Phoenix.
Human/animals Hybrids:
Creatures such as Centaurs, Minotaurs, Mermaids ect do exist in Jewish Legend, just not on this world (it's complicated) "365 kinds of Human Beasts exist, some half snake half human, some half lion half human. Some have the snake half on top and some the snake half on the bottom."
Golem: Guess this kinda counts, some really powerful Rabbi's gathered different kinds of mud and shaped it as a human, after some special prayer (lost to time) and putting a paper with one of G-d's name in it's mouth, the Golem rose. The Golem isn't very intelligent and can only preform basic tasks but does so till told otherwise. It was tasked to protect the Jews of Prague, Poland and did so until no longer necessary. It had the Hebrew word for 'truth' on its forehead 'אמת'. The 'א' was removed to kill it, making the Hebrew word 'מת' 'death/dead'.
This was WAY longer then it should of been 😅 but if you want more creatures from Jewish Legend let me know! 👌

I remember reading that giant sea serpents seen by sailors were probably whales surfacing to breathe. Look up videos of whales breaching and you'll see it's not hard to imagine sailors would mistake this gigantic smooth-skinned creature lurking just below the surface of the ocean. They might even mistake water blown out of the blow hole for smoke billowing from the monster's nostrils.
Yup. Crocodiles could very easily represent Leviathan, as it has been documented for them to spray water upwards in displays. This could easily be mistaken for steam, and of course God wants to get the creature he’s talking about across to his audience of the time so whatever they believe about the creatures he says.

@@edoardociavatti5415 Psalms 74:13-14 literally does.
@@BurnBird1 in that psalm, leviathan is used to represent Egypt. If you read the whole psalm, it’s a dramatic retelling of the exodus. Hence why it references the parting of the sea immediately before. The Bible frequently uses leviathan as metaphor for satan or wicked nations. Job seems to be the only instance where it’s explicitly referring to leviathan as a sea monster.
Ah, wading through the sea, eating with so much glee- oH OH MY GOD A LIGHTNING GOD JUST STRUCK ME
In relation to the leviathan being a crocodile, the Saltwater croc in Asia and the Nile croc grew to staggering lengths and girths, in excess of nine metres. The breathing fire can be explained by the incredibly vile breath that the Saltwater croc is renowned. To describe the breath as death is not out of the realm of possibility and over repeated tellings the story could easily morphed into fire.

If the bible is true, why shouldn't it describe a dinosaur? At the beginning humans lived with them together. Why not? If you read the text in Job 40 again about the Behemot you will recognize how that fit only to the the long neck Brachius saurus family. Thats even how the scientist are describing it.
I've been listening to the book of Enoch, and in it he does talk about the Leviathan and the Behemoth. We can conclude that both creatures are in fact a single animal/creature not a species.

I know Hebrew (Cause I am a religious Jew), and I found this video very interesting. I am not entirely sure about the exact translation of the Hebrew word Leviathan into what it would be in English. But I believe that Whale has been an acceptable term. However, one thing I would like to point out that was not mentioned in this video, was that when God had created the Leviathan and its partner with it, he later killed the second leviathan so they couldn't have children since he was afraid the Leviathan would be to dangerous and would kill off his other creations specifically humans. Therefore, the Leviathan cannot be any creature we have seen today, because there is only one Leviathan that exists in the whole world.

A good lot of the stories are also linked by common heritage, as the stories evolved from literally the same stories told and retold by different cultures. If you want to say that's just "how we interpret God" then sure, I'm not gonna stop you, but know that that's a pretty flawed way of looking at it as it still assumes Abrahamic supremacy, which is perhaps one of the most ridiculous takes.

Plenty of parallels between Buddha and Jesus, mate. Also Muhammad and a host of similar prophet type characters. The stories about them are greatly exaggerated, which is a common theme throughout human culture. Look at Heracles, Odysseus, and other such.
Hey man. Really love the informative style you've got, especially the academic rigour with regards to the original languages. These mythological/historical mystery themed videos of yours are fantastic.
Another great topic, such a good consistency!

There's a kind of surgical procedure, simple enough to be carried out by ancient shepherds, that can cause an animal's horns to merge into a single horn. Have you come across the theory that "unicorns" actually weren't a single type of animal, but rather any animal that had had this procedure done to them?
I'm very curious on this procedure, is there any more details on it? Especially considering they were in manuscripts on nature, it could very well be a common thing to do, so please let me know more of what you know!
@@sabotage9926 This touches on it: th-cam.com/video/0AETlsYfXPs/w-d-xo.html
@@alperendonmez Seems like it means something like "one horn" in Latin.

There's a rare mutation among deer that gives them only one antler.
I've heard of that ,if a goat's horn gets hooked together while growing it ends up straight
Would never thought I needed such a content like this, till now.
To add onto the chaoskampf, its specifically storm gods at times. Really interesting pattern, similarly broken by the epic of Mwindo-- the storm god and the great dragon-figure is blood brother/comrade to the thunder god.
I wish he would talk more about leviathan there is so much information about him
Awesome stuff dude! I have a series focusing on cryptids / misidentified historical creatures. This is right up my alley :)
The leviathan is a sea dragon / monster and the behemoth is a dinosaur, the nethilim are giants like Goliath
Unlikely that 'behemoth' is referring to a dinosaur, since it would be thousands of years until we knew they even existed.
Anton Ekstrand Behold, Behemoth, which I made as I made you; he eats grass like an ox. Behold, his strength in his loins, and his power in the muscles of his belly. He makes his tail stiff like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together. His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like bars of iron. “He is the first of the works of God; let him who made him bring near his sword! ...
Anton Ekstrand replace the word behemoth with dinosaur and you get a similar description keep in mind that some people say job was the first book written in the bible and may be one of the first books written so who knows if they was stories going around at that time about dinosaur bones being found before they was covered up over time they would not have known the word dinosaur
@@Apanblod there are many discoveries by ancient romans of dinosaurs
@@Dreammaster695 I don't think you know much about dinosaurs. I don't think replacing the word Behemoth with dinosaurs make anymore sense. You're just try to fit a square in a triangular slot.
The unicorn fast was really interesting great video
Leviathan and Behemoth, the most iconic summoned creatures to help you in a JRPG.
I would love to see a video on the history of sea monsters like the leviathan. You said there were quite a bit of them and I'm curious on their continuity and possible origin. Thanks for all your amazing videos!!!
I'm starting to think the Behemoth might just as well be a Mammoth. God's description is quite uncanny, most times Elephants eat grass even their strength is of something to be admired. The solid reason behind this is that the Book of Job is dated to be around 400 or 600 years old most prehistoric mammals were still around that time. If I am not mistaken some ancient Elephants were known to live near coastal regions and since both Behemoth and Leviathan were supposedly neighbors it is possible that this description ties to some sort of Mammoth or a Mastodon, hell there could be chance that it was a Gomphothere being described.
The book of job wasnt older than 10000-12000 years though. Its possible stories of prehistoric creatures were passed down, though through thousands of years it would become very distorted.
@@brianlin5636 I'm not so sure about that. There are records showing that the Book of Job dates no later than around the 4th to 7th century anywhere around during the time the Book of Job was being written things like Mammoths and other ancient elephants were walking around the world especially around places like Babylon, Jerusalem, and near the Mediterranean Sea. I don't think those descriptions were distorted when it pretty much has these animals pegged. They are admirably strong, eat grass like an Ox, they're very docile, stiff tails, and had legs like bars of iron. The scriptures also describe that the Behemoth resides around the waters and mountain ranges where food is located. The altitude nor environment would agree with a Hippo... but most Elephants are an exception. Furthermore, it should be noted that this rendition of William Blake's watercolour masterpiece, depicts the Behemoth with tusks and a long bovid-like tail. So therefore I don't it was all too exaggerated.
Mr. N you do know that those prehistoric animals went extinct around 12-10000 years ago. The mammoth went extinct around 4000 years ago but those mammoths were on small islands in the Arctic. 4-7th century is like 3000 years ago, no where near the time period of those animals.
@@brianlin5636 Um, no. Because the last groups of ancient elephants were still living at that time. Ancient Rome still had existed at the time, along with other well-known civilizations. I did the math as well if we subtract 4,000 years from 2020 wouldn't that be 1,980 years ago?
Mr. N oh sorry not 4000 years ago it was around 4000 bc or when the ancient Egyptians were building the pyramids. Most of the mammoths had already died by like 10000 bc but there were a few left in the Arctic, nowhere near the Middle East. There were none of the extinct ice age megafauna by the time job was written.
2:22 honestly that description if pretty good.
