@@GrantGraff Eh? I don't pretend to have watched everything they ever offered. But nah, in the early days they showed documentaries on popular history topics, shunned conspiracy theories, spoke of supernatural/spiritual concepts only in its academic context, hyped up American triumphs, discussed sexism/racism as thing of the distant past. WWII, the American Revolution, The Civil War, and occasionally something else (always packaged for the most general audience)
This association with Germanic peoples with Atlantis is way older than you think: In 1679, a Swedish scientist called Olaus Rudbeck theorized that the Swedes were indeed the descendants of the Atlanteans, because one ancient viking burial site was similar to the lost city described by Plato. You can see that as historian, Rudbeck was a good biologist.
The obssesion with Atlantis its weird to me It was just another fake civilization that Plato invented to make a philosophical point. Like cool but why anyone took it as real for so many years?

the intro is right up there with how South Park interpreted Scientology's genesis story: NEVER eat a mushroom that might make you see visions you are not prepared to comprehend.
World ice theory sounds like it was heavily inspired by Norse mythology. Since the way that the Norse believed the world was created was when the fire from musphelheim and the ice from Niflheim mixed together in ginnungagap and created the sun, stars and moon as well the giant Ymir whom Midgard would be made from. Essentially the Thule society tried to make that a scientific explanation for the earths creation
World Ice theory might also be a variation of the "World water theory" by ancient Greek philosopher Thales of Miletus. Or, it could be both. The similarity between the two could be used as "evidence" that the Greeks empire was actually Aryan.
It was inspired by Norse Mythology, and the core idea of "really hot meets really cold" wasn't too far off. Their theories on humans traveling on meteorites were silly, and their bizarre hatred of Jews was horrible and misguided in the exteme, as well as utterly absent in Norse Myths (Vikings had no reason to hate Jews). Their problem was how they wanted to force modern conflicts, racism, and such into the original framework where those did not exist.
For sure, there's a permanent exhibit on the Holocaust at the Imperial War Museum, London. I was mostly coping with it but then there's a pile of shoes in the final room. It was a hot September day, but it took me a long time to feel warm again after seeing that.
@@wraithcadmus no reason why they even have it there, britain has never done anything except good towards the chosen ones to warrant such guilt tripping
It appeals to the modern arrogance in regards to this topic. The national socialist party weren't and aren't the only ones interested in the occult and alternative history. Kabbalah is still fairly widely practiced, but making a mocking video about the people that practice it is antisemitic. That's weird considering they're no strangers to committing genocides.

2:55 Thing is, the people that believed this stuff were stupid and guillable, but the people that created these myths were not. They knew exactly what they were doing.
Pseudoscience is a fake word used by nitwits like you to discredit strains of thought and research that discomfort you or are different from the things that have been indoctrinated into you.
I was dying at the intro. Its so sad that these harmful ideologies were spread, but they're impossible not to laugh at. Thank you so much for these videos! Im really enjoying the secret societies videos as well. Keep up the great work!
4:40 - I’ve always felt it’s a deliberate misquoting of Darwin, who said “organisms best fitted to their environment are the most successful” and not ‘survival of the fittest’ as is often quoted politically. Plenty of evolution tales end with the extinction of large & powerful predatory animals who can no longer survive an ever changing world.
Exactly. It has nothing to do with being top of the food chain. It's more of 'they are the best at reproducing more than they die.' If it were the former, as it's often conveyed, most herbavore species would just be extinct since they clearly aren't going to be top of the food chain.
If you convince people to believe in absurdity, then you can get them to commit atrocities. That’s not an original thought, but it’s just as true today as it was the first time someone uttered those words.

It was located inside the Incan empire during a time, sure, but the empire is gone.
@@huskadog7748 More akin that Hagia Sophia would not be a Turkish or Ottoman ruin, but a Greek-orthodox or Byzantine ruin despite its importance to the former and the latter.

I just still find it wild that 'Dolphie legitimately gave them almost free reign over the national budget. Even more crazy is that there really was an archeological dig in Tanis to find the Ark of the Covenant.
Enjoy the Porta Nigra. And if I may add if you have the time and interest, visit the „Rheinisches Landesmuseum“. It has an unbelievable collection of local Roman artefacts.
wow this is definitely way more interesting of an episode than I thought it would be. It's amazing the things you're describing about spiritualism seeking and all the advancements... and that's exactly what I see the world trying to do a lot these days too.
Honestly this is the least expected thing that would be talked about here and i am quite excited for the series as it's just incredibly interesting because of how damn insane is this (it's completly insane(too much insane(Pure madness)
There is a DIRECT connection between all of this and Hindutvah and the religious-nationalist movement of Modi and the modern BJP, too. There was more than one high ranking nazee who collected and cherished certain Hindu scriptures-- namely the ones conducive to "doing one's duty" without considering to whether it is right or wrong, abnegation of the individual will, etc...
The intro and thumb nail gave me the sense that this was like some Scp and alien vibes but other than that that thumbnail was perfect and the intro looked straight out of Indiana jones
Reminds me of how they were connected to the Obskuracorps and later their demise at the hands of the Allied Occult Initiative [the precursor to the GOC that is later founded in the onslaught of the Seventh Occult War/WW2].
"Legends and Lattes" and "Bookshops and Bonedust" were amazing books. My wife and I listen to the audio version, and I bought her the physical versions as well because they were so good to listen to.
Love the Bookshops and Bonedust plug, fantastic book and series full of cozy vibes and pastries. But also hey, dope video, and only a little terrifyingly relevant.
5:53 after this video, this really doesn’t sound like a fusion of Christian and Pagan stuff. Dia de los muertos is a fusion of Christian and Pagan stuff. This is the worst version of “I’m not religious, but I’m spiritual” mixed with ethnonationalism(Pride,idolatry, self worship). You mentioned there being a spiritual vacuum as Germans turned from the Church. Well instead of worshipping the God that died for them, they worshipped their “blood” or “race” and seemingly tried to use every other form of spirituality to justify the worship of themselves. I think the word you’d be looking for is “subversion”.
Mate,I like your thinking. I didn’t understand where the Christian principles were being blended with a paganism, in the same manner as Extra History was explaining them to be.

We must all do what we can to make sure that this never happens again to any people, of any ethnicity, of any religion.
I just still find it wild that 'Dolphie legitimately gave them almost free reign over the national budget. Even more crazy is that there really was an archeological dig in Tanis to find the Ark of the Covenant.
Literally visiting Germany for the first time ever and this video pops up when I'm on the bus to Trier 🤣🇩🇪
😳😳😳
Enjoy the Porta Nigra. And if I may add if you have the time and interest, visit the „Rheinisches Landesmuseum“. It has an unbelievable collection of local Roman artefacts.
Hail
I appreciate you putting this out st this time. But I wish you did a vid on the rise of the dictators in the 20s and 30s.
Loved seeing Rob as captain American and Matt as Indian Jones
I love this show!
0:56 I’m sorry, I don’t know if they did this before but if not, this might be the first recorded case of extra history cursing
Extra credit did curse in the episode about the video game Call of Juarez: The Cartel.
Well, now I have the lore for my next D&D campaign. Great intro.
Dude your Conspiracy Charlie meme is on point 😂
wow this is definitely way more interesting of an episode than I thought it would be. It's amazing the things you're describing about spiritualism seeking and all the advancements... and that's exactly what I see the world trying to do a lot these days too.
Honestly this is the least expected thing that would be talked about here and i am quite excited for the series as it's just incredibly interesting because of how damn insane is this (it's completly insane(too much insane(Pure madness)
There is a DIRECT connection between all of this and Hindutvah and the religious-nationalist movement of Modi and the modern BJP, too. There was more than one high ranking nazee who collected and cherished certain Hindu scriptures-- namely the ones conducive to "doing one's duty" without considering to whether it is right or wrong, abnegation of the individual will, etc...
hindutvah are good
4:29 I think I see I Atlantis: the Lost empire reference here!
I love this movie ❤🎥
@@vanessaarzate8463 Me too!
I love the opening. So much drama, please do this more in other episodes
4:55 bro I need sleep I thought this was gonna form into the Univision logo
Great, now I can’t UNSEE it! 😂
Isn't that what it was?
that has got to be the best open to date so far had me in stitches
Extra history!
:50 - “Vee really believe zis Shiese!”
My first lol of the day.
The intro and thumb nail gave me the sense that this was like some Scp and alien vibes but other than that that thumbnail was perfect and the intro looked straight out of Indiana jones
Reminds me of how they were connected to the Obskuracorps and later their demise at the hands of the Allied Occult Initiative [the precursor to the GOC that is later founded in the onslaught of the Seventh Occult War/WW2].
I think a team up with miniminuteman would be great for this
You always make My day guys😊😊😊❤❤❤
"We really believe zis Scheiße!" kinda made me feel sorry for the Doktor. Kinda.
The thumbnail goes hard
That title was a trip and a half.
TNO REFERENCE (I'm mentally insane I need help)
That was the greatest intro I've ever seen in my life
How did you and rob decide who would be Captian America and who would be Indiana Jones
"Legends and Lattes" and "Bookshops and Bonedust" were amazing books. My wife and I listen to the audio version, and I bought her the physical versions as well because they were so good to listen to.
The youtube thumbnail goes so hard for no reason
David did an amazing job with it!
@@extrahistory Facts 🔥
0:00 - 0:58
Really love this new style of intro
Was about to sleep when i saw this in my recommended, whats the harm in delaying sleeping a bit more, eh?
Love the Bookshops and Bonedust plug, fantastic book and series full of cozy vibes and pastries.
But also hey, dope video, and only a little terrifyingly relevant.
5:53 after this video, this really doesn’t sound like a fusion of Christian and Pagan stuff. Dia de los muertos is a fusion of Christian and Pagan stuff.
This is the worst version of “I’m not religious, but I’m spiritual” mixed with ethnonationalism(Pride,idolatry, self worship). You mentioned there being a spiritual vacuum as Germans turned from the Church. Well instead of worshipping the God that died for them, they worshipped their “blood” or “race” and seemingly tried to use every other form of spirituality to justify the worship of themselves.
I think the word you’d be looking for is “subversion”.
I always say that Paganism can be blended with Christianity, but Christianity cannot be blended with Paganism, lest it be adulterated.
Mate,I like your thinking.
I didn’t understand where the Christian principles were being blended with a paganism, in the same manner as Extra History was explaining them to be.
Probably a very needed series to reach many ears. Well done EH!!
Miniminuteman is a great youtube channel that discusses pseduoscinece in histort snd tdoay in acrheology snd anthropology
We need a Milo/EC crossover: animated bean people talking about history with drinking games.
I only clicked it due to karl ruprecht kroenen in your artstyle in the thumbnail, and i never regretted it
The intro was kinda ridiculous, but i enjoyed it nonetheless because i grew up with the Indiana Jones movies.
I feel we are going to be hearing about the Ahnenerbe here in the next few episodes. Oh boy...
This dude won't understand them and will only try to ridicule them
Zoey didn't show up at the end. I hope she's ok
