I've been obsessed with paisley since that beautiful deep green, REAL Persian carpet I crawled on as a baby 67 yrs ago. My very, very favorite pattern EVER.
Most people love Kheshti pattern and bijaraki. Those are really nice. Did you know the oldest biggest Persian carpet was destroyed by muslim arabs when they attacked Persia. They cut it and took it as gifs. Lots of things were lost because they wanted Persian culture gone. Two centeries of silence of Persia is a must read book.
@@DandelyonDawn well, I am Persian and I got a bachelor in contemporary Persian painting(school of water house, sagha khaneyi). It is a complex and rich history.

in 7th grade (1971) at the local five and dime, I found the cutest green and purple paisley cotton material to create my stuffed frog. It was a home economics project.

Indeed, this is true. If you re-listen to him, you’ll note that he said the PATTERN (not Zoroastrianism) began about 1800 years ago.

Paisley pattern repeats fractally through your whole field of vision under a few different common psychedelic compounds that ancient people were known to have access to
Actually that's only because you're so familiar with it. Psychedelics show you fractal patterns, but which ones you see depends on your own brain. It is noteworthy that the butah repeats fractally though, much like the leaf it is based on. I do think it's likely that plays into it's symbolic meaning.

Fascinating! 😮 I have two large rugs in my house with the design and I adore them even more now, knowing what its meaning originally was! Thank you so much for this video. I now have a wonderful new conversation topic! :)
I really enjoyed this video. You gave good and interesting information without dragging it out. The most sincere compliment is that I was disappointed when the Video ended! Thank you.
GREAT VIDEO. I already loved that pattern ever since I was a child and now I have a greater understanding of its origins. Thank you for sharing this 🙏❤️ I just subscribed & clicked the notifications bell.
The correct pronunciations aren't similar though. English speakers aspirate 't' between vowels, and don't pronounce the 'dh' correctly. The two words sound quite distinct when said according to the rules of their respective languages. If you mean that the flor de lis also represents immortality, yes. But the pattern is not a flower, despite the name: it's a toad. It came about because of a folk tale in which a toad, or sometimes frog, was said to have a stone in it's head which would grant immortality (or sometimes to reverse aging, but not grant extra time).
Thank you. I thought it came from India. Sometimes on trivia questions Paisley, Scotland is cited as the originator. I've worn bandannas since I was a child and my father used them to wipe sweat from his face and neck as he was a steamfitter.
I believe you are correct. I'm another bandana wearer and I have heard there is some connection between Scotland and India in the development and popularity of the bandanas. My guess is that, as sure as this young man seems to be about the origin of the bandana, their origin is probably not 100% certain.
I appreciate that you managed to make a very informative and succinct video on the bandana pattern without needing to actually showing a classic American bandanna
Well, depending on the color and which pocket it's in--right or left--it can indicate what a person is into in the bedroom, and whether they want like to top or bottom.
I've always loved paisley patterns, but I never really thought about its origins before... very interesting! I've always been drawn to Tree of Life images too. Thanks for keeping it short and to the point!
Very quick and still thorough, i appreciate it and the style. Youd do well making more of this, and of course short form content is very popular as well, which this would be a lerfect candidate for.
Reminds me of being a small child and looking at the patterns of clothing and fabric and getting lost in it. One of my favorite reasons to love desugn and fashion is that i get such strong emotions and impressions from design because they have these deep meanings. I love especially colorful stained glass with symmetrical patterns on it, like 8 or 6 pointed star or flower designs
This was short and sweet and interesting, thanks for putting this together. Here's a couple of ideas for future videos: Why did car horns in my childhood (70s-80s) sound much better than many horns in the 90s and later? Also, why is the remote lock/unlock sound for different makes of cars the same? And how was that pitch selected? How about a timeline of the history of artificial flavors?
Great video. Thanks! But I'd like to also know WHY is that pattern on bandanas - how did that pattern get used for them and stay / why does that pattern continue to be used for them? 🤔 I prefer it actually - the classic pattern used on bandanas is so synonymous with them that its kind of become part of what a bandana is - it wouldnt seem like a bandana without the bandana paisley / calico like pattern.
Thanks for the Zoroastrian blurb - i see they were taught to observe the "two greatest commandments", while many Christians have forgotten them in favor of squabbling over doctrines not even found in scripture.
What doctrines do you consider "not found in scripture"? Also just fyi, God does hate. And as christians, we are asked to hate the same things that he hates. "Love" has become a modern-day heresy as it ignores the reality that love involves reprove, involves hating that which is not christian behaviour, etc.
@@lamename2010 Are you arguing your way out of needing to obey the "two greatest commands"? I'd include the Trinity, which so many are fixated or so called 'sacred math' or the affairs of Satan's world, like washing the windows on the Titanic, post-berg.
@@rosskstar There is no arguing my way out of the 2 commandments. Rather the commandment to love and obey God asks me to hate that which he hates. If you do not hate that which God hates, you do not love God. What is your understanding of "Satan's world"? An understanding that he rules temporarily or that the world itself is corrupt and evil and by being the ruler of all evil, it is Satan's?

There's so many small details in life that are full of history!!! I hope the people who are looking for this answer find this video! It's so wild that it's so common and I knew nothing about it.
Amazing I learned something new again.I thought always is just a pattern, but never knew there is a meaning behind.I personally never liked this one but now I see it in a different way. Thank you for explaining.
It's history has a curve. The Paisley motif or Buta in Perisan was a tear drop shape with Cyprus tree inside it. When Indians got in as cultural exchange with Persian. They modified it into mango shape. The tapering ends. It came to know as Ambi in India. So when Britishers got it. The symbol has evolved into basic shape that we see today. Ambi is still found in many tradinal Indian attire. Nose pins to brochures. Very pretty.

Thank you. I thought it came from India. Sometimes on trivia questions Paisley, Scotland is cited as the originator. I've worn bandannas since I was a child and my father used them to wipe sweat from his face and neck as he was a steamfitter.
I believe you are correct. I'm another bandana wearer and I have heard there is some connection between Scotland and India in the development and popularity of the bandanas. My guess is that, as sure as this young man seems to be about the origin of the bandana, their origin is probably not 100% certain.
@@melissasw64He was speaking about the pattern origin being Zoroastrian … add the bandana using the pattern and we get varying origins.
Excellent summary! Thank you.
I appreciate that you managed to make a very informative and succinct video on the bandana pattern without needing to actually showing a classic American bandanna
Fascinating! Thank you.
I have a whole collection of paisley bandanas so this was perfect; glad it popped up on my feed
If you run up to a person with one of these hanging out their back pocket you better know it means the total opposite.
Well, depending on the color and which pocket it's in--right or left--it can indicate what a person is into in the bedroom, and whether they want like to top or bottom.

I’ve always wondered and thought about the pattern and its history. Thanks for the info
Very insightful!
Great answer to a question I never thought to ask
I've always loved paisley patterns, but I never really thought about its origins before... very interesting! I've always been drawn to Tree of Life images too. Thanks for keeping it short and to the point!
Proving that deep dive videos don't need to be 40 minutes long. Liked and subscribed
Thank you. . I love stuff like this. . Paisley Scotland you say. .
Very quick and still thorough, i appreciate it and the style. Youd do well making more of this, and of course short form content is very popular as well, which this would be a lerfect candidate for.
I know you made this a year ago, but youtube decided I would see it today. Very interesting history and thanks for sharing.
Very interesting. I tend to wear a lot of paisley patterns. 👍
Reminds me of being a small child and looking at the patterns of clothing and fabric and getting lost in it. One of my favorite reasons to love desugn and fashion is that i get such strong emotions and impressions from design because they have these deep meanings. I love especially colorful stained glass with symmetrical patterns on it, like 8 or 6 pointed star or flower designs
Wow! Thank you! It's my favorite pattern, and I'm glad to know where it came from!
Well that was very handsomely explained. Subscribed.
Uh-ha! The Cyprus-tree! Thank you! ✌️🤓
Awesome, Thanks for making this.
This was a great video! Concise and informative...thank you!
So glad I clicked! Fascinating stuff!! 😀
Subscribed! Hopefully there is more random facts about things I never even knew I wanted to know👍
This was short and sweet and interesting, thanks for putting this together.
Here's a couple of ideas for future videos:
Why did car horns in my childhood (70s-80s) sound much better than many horns in the 90s and later?
Also, why is the remote lock/unlock sound for different makes of cars the same? And how was that pitch selected?
How about a timeline of the history of artificial flavors?
This is wonderfull and very awesome... great job
I live in Paisley (FL)
I'm a big bandana person so this was useful information! Thanks!
In my textiles classes for my Apparel Design degree, we learned similar, but that the paisley print represented basically the cornucopia.
Great video. Thanks! But I'd like to also know WHY is that pattern on bandanas - how did that pattern get used for them and stay / why does that pattern continue to be used for them? 🤔 I prefer it actually - the classic pattern used on bandanas is so synonymous with them that its kind of become part of what a bandana is - it wouldnt seem like a bandana without the bandana paisley / calico like pattern.
I don't know why this popped up in my feed but im glad it did!
THIS IS SO INTERISTING YIIIPPPIE I LOVE LEARNING!
Thanks for the Zoroastrian blurb - i see they were taught to observe the "two greatest commandments",
while many Christians have forgotten them in favor of squabbling over doctrines not even found in scripture.
What doctrines do you consider "not found in scripture"? Also just fyi, God does hate. And as christians, we are asked to hate the same things that he hates. "Love" has become a modern-day heresy as it ignores the reality that love involves reprove, involves hating that which is not christian behaviour, etc.
@@lamename2010 Are you arguing your way out of needing to obey the "two greatest commands"?
I'd include the Trinity, which so many are fixated or so called 'sacred math' or the affairs of Satan's world, like washing the windows on the Titanic, post-berg.
@@rosskstar There is no arguing my way out of the 2 commandments. Rather the commandment to love and obey God asks me to hate that which he hates. If you do not hate that which God hates, you do not love God.
What is your understanding of "Satan's world"? An understanding that he rules temporarily or that the world itself is corrupt and evil and by being the ruler of all evil, it is Satan's?
@@lamename2010 Jesus NEVER preached for anyone to hate!!!
@brendasmart553 Didn't Jesus stigmatize and beat up the money-changers? Or is that too antisemitic nowadays?
Cool knowledge I didn’t realize I wanted to know, thanks
Thank you a quick video that give me everything I need to know
That was really cool! Thanks for that.
Very interesting, informative and well delivered. Thanks 🙏
I liked this video and will be looking into other video's and possibly subscribing to you're channel you're simple and direct approach to explaining things in a reasonable about of time made this and enjoyable video to watch
I had no idea my old bandanas contained such metaphysical symbolism. Fascinating!
There's so many small details in life that are full of history!!! I hope the people who are looking for this answer find this video! It's so wild that it's so common and I knew nothing about it.
I really did always wonder about that pattern....thanks Nathan
i know your videos haven’t done super well but you should keep going! the algorithm rewards continued uploads
Amazing I learned something new again.I thought always is just a pattern, but never knew there is a meaning behind.I personally never liked this one but now I see it in a different way.
Thank you for explaining.
great content!
very great interesting. i would have never imagined it was that old. great video.
It's history has a curve.
The Paisley motif or Buta in Perisan was a tear drop shape with Cyprus tree inside it.
When Indians got in as cultural exchange with Persian. They modified it into mango shape. The tapering ends. It came to know as Ambi in India.
So when Britishers got it. The symbol has evolved into basic shape that we see today.
Ambi is still found in many tradinal Indian attire. Nose pins to brochures. Very pretty.
This was so informative. Thanks bro!
Well done and straight to the point! New subscriber here! Keep up the good work and I dig that Santa Cruz shirt!
