- If we found the Ezana stone before the Rosetta, I suspect you'd already know this story. But we didn't, so we don't.
When I say slaves at the start of this video, I meant pirates. I have no idea how I didn't notice that until now.

Idk not every creator has a rich and famous astronaut father
@@orion10x10 I suspect not. I don't really get what that has to do with me liking to make videos, but it is certainly true?
Proud to support these creations !
👏✌🙏
So grateful your dad supports them also.
If more people support the Rare Earth videos you'd be able to keep doing it.
Evan, you have amazing story telling abilities. Keep it up. I'll keep watching if you keep making.
I love the respect you give to stories.
*"We don't know the king who captured him. As it turns out, he wasn't as important to history as the slave he captured."* Damn thats deep and also inspiring.
History is written by the literate. The chinese emperors known as the best and most moral were also the ones who were the nicest to Confucian scholars.
I love the possibility that one day historians might decipher our language by looking at different translations of Harry Potter.
Erik and thinking that this was our holy book and we believed Harry as a prophet
I genuinely hope they think that things like Harry Potter and The Avengers are our era's major religious pantheons, only to reactivate our long dead computer systems and realize just how wrong they were.
@@ryancasey4038 as a student archeologist. This is something I sure hope future archeologists do. It honestly would be so freaking hilarious.
@@hajarmdn4883 It's amazing to just speculate about future in that way. I heard somewhere that if a some hypothetical disaster just wiped every single human of the face of the planet today, 100.000 years from now there would be less than ten fossilized human skeletons remaining on the entire globe...
uegvdczuVF >> Plus quite a few missile silos. Atlas silos from the 1950s are literally indestructible by design.
That ending reminded me of something I saw on r/showerthoughts that said:
"Everyone always speaks about going back in time and radically changing the future by making one tiny change, but they still feel like they have no influence over the future in the present." (Paraphrased)
+
Nicely said. Thank you.
That Paraphrased is a smart dude.
Especially today where we can interact with millions every day.
I think it's more the lack of prescience that's a problem.
Great continuation of the rare earth series! Loving the Ethiopia season
It says a lot about Christianity that Frumentius was from humble beginnings. Likely his slave position actually reinforced the message he was teaching.
Christianity always works more effectively when taught from a position of lower power, as that is reflective of the message. When it is taught by those of higher power it appears hypocritical.
Humility and acceptance can be powerful tools of persuasion
The Faith always grows when the world tries to suppress it, God's word does not fail. I can only hope to do half as well as Frumentius when I stand before my God.
I don't know about that. Christianity didn't really become a major religion until after Emperor Constantine made it the official religion of the empire. He did that when he was leader of one of the most powerful states known to man.
@@Sewblon yeah christians just like to pat themselves on the back about being less powerful than other religions
@@Sewblon Christianity was growing rapidly in the East. It was already the majority religion in Egypt by 300. If not Constantine, someone else would have become a Christian emperor in the 300s. It was just a matter of time.
5:54 "The right man in the wrong place, can make all the difference in the world. So, wake up, Mr. Freeman. Wake up and smell the ashes..."
I´m doing a school project on Brazil and I´m formatting it like your videos
That's really cool, dude. I appreciate it.
As a Brazilian myself I would love to see a couple of national cultural and social themes covered in this format. It's such a capturing way of telling a story! If you need any help with that project I would be very glad to offer it to you!
Share bruh when you’re done ;)
Good luck Sci, we would love to see it!
That would be great to see.
"Going to keep making these videos whether you watch them or not" that just gives me more reason to end up watching. Being sure that you're doing this wholeheartedly, and not by money or recognition, grants me more quality content.
That's a Isekai plot if I ever heard one...
Lmao, I bet the real dude died half way there and then a soul from the future or some shit toke his place.
Frumentius was really the soul of a 21st-century Japanese highschooler in the body of a 4th-century Syrian slave. The boy died from the most common form of death among his cohort; being hit by truck-kun.
made my day :D
I love Ethiopia and it's history for a long time. Ever since I heard of Prestor John in Elementary school, I've been doing my own study and research about Ethiopia. Every time I learn something new about this region, it brings a smile to my face. Thank you very much for covering Ethiopia. Hopefully I will be able to visit it someday
I'm just commenting to help you out with the TH-cam algorithm. Also I learned about this in my high school history, but we only spend maybe 2 minutes on it
This is the only channel where I make sure to watch and click the full length ads before the video. It's severely underrated at the moment
I wonder how much history would have changed if the Ezana stone was found first..
This series is magnificent, thank you so much for your work!
Honestly I doubt that much. Roseta was signifcant because it translated Egyptian which was the dream for many European Historians as Egypt was a personal fascination of the french and British
@@MrRushhour4 It might have pushed the awareness of what was perceived as civilization a bit further south.
I’ve always been fascinated by the stone churches of Ethiopia. While I was aware of the general story of how Christianity came to the region, I was unaware of the details. Thank you for filling in the blanks with yet another excellent video.
Stellar work as always. I can really count on you to deliver content that keeps my attention,teaches me, and never offends me with dissemination. Bravo and thank you! This is why I support you on Patreon.
Another fantastic video. I think one of the most important points is that the influence of one man was so amplified simply because he had an education. Even though he was a slave, he was important to the story of this part of Africa BECAUSE he had an education. It is interesting to think what might have happened if the king and then his son the prince had not recognized the value of that education. Looking forward to the next videos.
One correction the Axumites already named constellations and had their own philosophies you can't really say they were that much behind. Plus don't forget every great nation is made great by not only the natives but the travellers sharing practices and knowledge
Thank you!
All my work in film school and in my personal projects is done in the hope of doing what you do. Finding somebody that will let me make some living traveling the planet and sharing stories that need to be shared, especially in places we are encouraged to look away from. Thank you for working so hard to make this content. It's truly a beacon of hope.
You don't need to ask permission or have someone 'hire' you, Samuel. Surround yourself with people who want to do the same thing, practice it every chance you get, and soon it will be your reality. Just promise one thing: when it gets tough, don't give up! Just put your head down and do it 🙏
@@MiaogisTeas Thank you for your encouragement my friend.
0:36 I saw that structure on a show called Globe Trekker. It looks so cool how it was carved downwards
Globe trekker was great. Bradley Cooper was one of the hosts.
Then you will be amazed how this entire structure is carved th-cam.com/video/DYrHQfft07M/w-d-xo.html
It's hard to even describe how powerful these videos are.Sometimes without even knowing it, you guys touch a nerve within me...honest.
And Evan, I truly hope you keep making the videos. I enjoy them so much.
Thank you. Eric
I absolutely love your Channel. Your stories are amazing and inspiring. I hope to find stories to cover that are as special as yours.
Even when rare earth is positive it's still depressing lol
We appreciate all the hard work you guys put into making these.
Great job guys, you rock! Keep 'em comin
Some way, somehow you continue to produce content which diligently elevates the quality of this channel...you guys are awesome. Ty!👊🏽✌🏾
You are truely amazing. I love this everyday more. I've been subscribed to this channel even before those started, and every video I feel like the world needs to see it more than I do.
I’ll never get tired of watching Rare Earth. Thank you for releasing quality content!
I love the human element that your videos bring from these regions that we often rarely here about in the west. They way you tell them is entertaining, and the stories never fail to be thought provoking. Truly, thank you for what you do.
You're damn right I'll keep watching these. The scene at 5:11 was golden. Keep up the great work, Evan and team.
Great content as usual. I am excited and looking forward to more!
Great storytelling, as usual. I'm learning something new with each of your videos.
You do excellent work. Thanks for your efforts!
It's not just that you are a good storyteller and videographer, but the stories you manage to choose always have a profound conclusion and finish with a good piece of advice. Thank you !
This is wonderful. I teach world religions and I did not know this story to this depth. Great content on this channel. Thanks!
As always, this was absolutely captivating.
Absolutely fantastic video brother!!! I can not wait till you have full length Netflix series or such absolutely amazing thank you for opening my eyes to the bigger world !!!!
If he were on Netflix, he would lose his independence to tell great stories he is interested in.
its always such a joy to watch your videos thank you!
Thanks for the upload!
Franchesco, much love to you! I lobe your series. Thank you!
Great video as always
What a cute cat. Who's a cute killing machine? You are! Yes you are, aw
I've got to say , your videos are life affirming. It's always nice to be nice.
Your work is wonderful
I sincerely LOVE the audio. No sarcasm; the changes mean something to me.
I am so glad I found your channel
That's a good job of work on that carving too: very good flat facing, uniform depth and shape on the letters, good typography on the font
I look forward to Rare Earth videos on a daily basis.
Masterful video, truly art
Everything time I'm high, a new video of rare Erath released. I'm happy
god i love that theres other stoners that jus love watching documentaries n shit like this high rare earth is a blesssin
Agreed. Goes well with cannabis or without.
we're all out here, baking in knowledge.
What?! SAME HERE!
Maybe proof read before you take another dab, brah?
I LOVE your videos!
Thank you for educating me in such an important matter :)
Oh man i would love to work with you guys - great narrating and beautiful pictures as always!
Beautifully done 👍
I sure like your videos buddy, I always learn stuff....and good to see another canuck making great videos, but man it must be hotter than hell the places your travelling??? heck Canada is too hot for me, luckily it doesn't last too long here ( the summer heatwave)
This story was amazing
That's ok evan. You keep telling stories because you want to and we keep watchint and supporting you because WE want to.
Wow thank you for this
Thank you for teaching us shut-ins more about the world abroad.
Long live holy Ethiopia!
thanks -Ethiopian
To be so well informed. Good job.
big papa Evans brings yet another bounty to my feed
Yet another fascinating and well produced video (on a topic I had no idea about); thanks for putting out such great content! :) If I can give one bit of feedback, I found the audio quality change at 3:47 and 5:10 to be a bit jarring. It might just be my issue, but I think a different mic, dubbing, or just leaving a pause between one sentence and another with noticeably different recording qualities would help immensely.
2:43 caught slippin, he didn't know what to do lol
Wow this episode has sure stirred controversy in the comments 😱
✔Way to Go Evan 👏
KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK ❣
🥂
I love my Ethiopian brothers and sisters love ❤️ from Armenia
leo A And our churches are identical in the way that we are allowed to attend each other’s mass and take the host, and our own church will accept it.
Will you be covering the Battle of Dongola during this season? Assuming its all filmed edited and done of course but I'm just wondering.
This was fascinating. I have known Ethiopian Christians before, but I never knew the story of how they came to be. Thank You.
amazingly parallel to the life of joseph, son of jacob, who was sold into slavery by his 11 brothers.
You just made me remember his story and I can see that it is quite similar. Fun fact: in Islam, we recognise Joseph as Yusuf (AS) and Jacob as Yaqub (AS)
Stunning and brave.
If I'm feeling powerless I usually think of Norman Borlaug, but this might do too.
Can I suggest you make a video on Tibetan and/or Bhutanese culture?
Interesting to reflect on the possibility that, so easily, a slave could become a pirate, and that those we see as legitimate businesspersons could in fact become to our estimation slave owners in the blink of an eye; leaving us saying to ourselves "I have no idea how I didn't notice that until now."
Even- we're watching!!
great video
excellent
Great video! I'd recommend people watch step back history in between RE uploads. Keep it up, yo!
You forgot to add a "for better or worse" at the end. Love your videos btw.
This video did not show up on my feed, I actually had to check the channel when looking to see if there was a new vid. The algorithm is a cruel mistress.
Ethiopia is an incredible nation with such an interesting history
Cool!
Thanks big papa
As a Syrian this is fascinating
It’s strange, in acts 8 there is an Ethiopian who talks to Philip about the book of Isaiah, this Ethiopian may have told the slave... idk it intrigues me to see if there’s a connection.
I still think you're pointing your on-screen arrows the wrong way. 😊 Directing them from the on-screen text to the item the text describes would be more intuitive.
Other than that, great episode as usual! I'm impressed with what you have achieved with the material you managed to salvage from your misjudged hiring... 👍
I disagree: in this one I particularly like the impression that the information is flowing up out of the ground from the artefacts.
William Chamberlain Fair enough. The animation helps mitigate my problem with it.
Anyone ever say you look like the white Lucas Moura? Also quality content, keep it up
Great story, why is there no famous movie about this slave? Or maybe I just don’t know
This story reminds me of Joseph and his impact on Egypt in his time
there is a old saying and it goes like this, Sometimes you are the only bible that others can read. And this adds on to it, You are the hands, feet and mouth of Jesus Christ in this world. Hands to work for Jesus, Feet to carry Jesus in this world and the Mouth of Jesus to speak the world of life, and the Gospel to a dieing and lost world.
Be blessed.
I know there's a change of videographer, but the new one seems quite off. I can't put my finger what changed, but the overall video quality drops quite a bit. The writing is still good as ever.
"the right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world"
Was the trip to Ethiopia safe? I have some friends there but I’m not too familiar with the political situation there.
Like anywhere on earth, if you know what to look for you'll be fine. Stay out of Chinatown in Addis, avoid Shashemene and the Ogaden and watch the news for ethnic/political riots. If you do that, most places feel safer than the US.
There's a bit more to it than that, of course, but I honestly feel as safe in Ethiopia as I do at home. The only annoyance that people might mistake as danger is the near-perpetual begging/touching/swarming that happens any time you step out of the car.
Wow, “He works in mysterious ways his wonders to expose”. That is just the way my God would have it.
2:10 Dawww KYITTY!
"The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world"
"So wake up, doctor Freeman, wake up and smell the ashes"
Honestly I just want to travel like you
Fatherhood. Wow.
A sort of Joseph story
Are you using a new mic or is there another host who speaks during the b-roll. IMO the old mic sounded better
For much of the read-through and a roll of these episodes I had a 102-103 degree fever and was vomiting between takes.
The mic is the same, though.
@@RareEarthSeries hope your doing better!
@@thedude7726 It was like 3 months ago now, I'm all good. :)
some of the clips are from Lalibela, not Axum
Yep. And some are from Lake Langano (like almost all a roll this season). The purpose of the footage is to grease the story along, rather than the focus itself. :)
As individual may or might change the world, but most of that change usually happen after he/she die
