Well I'm no John D Rockefeller, but I agree! (a joke for the olds, I think I'm even too young for it, really lol. Also sorry John but if you're actually a Rockefeller, the olds have made this joke before lol, even if you're not a Richie Rockefeller)
I'm glad I got recommended this, this looks absolutely sick, I can't wait to watch it later. It looks like you put a ton of work into this, awesome job!
medieval found footage most likely refers to the concept of medieval people being capable of photography, it is a very fringe theory but there are some interesting things about it. like for example we still don't know how Da Vinci executed his sfumato technique, the paint particles in his paintings have been shown to be only 5 microns thick (human hair being 70 microns thick and many of our modern paint particles being 30 microns thick), we don't know how he did it but he was able to produce nearly photographic accuracy when it came to lighting and shadows. it could also be a literal film of the medieval world.
There is also the technique of "Camera Obscura" which was invented in the late renaissance which you could argue is still in the medieval age as there were still feudal states and there could've been some very realistic paintings or even be called photos which could be very interesting if there was a surviving artifact.
Yes, there is another Iceberg, I believe entitled "the photographs iceberg" that has the last section dedicated to pre-photography experiments, but the ones referenced only go back to 1614 (Angelo Salas silver nitrate experiments) so not necessarily medieval.
It doesn't. It was a creepy pasta/meme started on /x/. It's clearly fictional, but it's reported to be an amateur recording either made by a peasant or a time traveller which shows a group of knights leading away a very scared old peasant woman as a crowd gathers around to watch. There's various "stills" which claim to be from the footage, but they can all be traced to either AI generation or purposefully blurry screenshots from known movies set in the medieval era.
As someone who really enjoys the concept of mystery icebergs as well as medieval history, I really appreciate this video. One remark/critique: You could have mentioned that the term Dark Ages is also often used to refer to the scarcity of written sources in this period, not necessarily about this era being primitive. Its not necessarily a term denoting an obsolete understanding of the early medieval period.
True but most people are not familiar with comparable period known as Greek Dark Age so in most cases "Dark Ages" is used as a pejorative term for Middle Ages (which itself was originally negative)
When I was listening to a podcast on the roman empire loads of names like that came up and I never knew if it was 1) coincidence, 2) the word for what they were associated with came from their name 3) they were retroactively named after what they became associated with etc, nvm the mess of them having later ancestors that sometimes supported opposite sides, or everything else changing to make it look that way. So many things today are relics from decisions made by just Diocletian, Just Constantine, Just Augustus etc.
I recently got into iceberg charts last month and TH-cam recommended me your video. I love the effort and dedication you put on that topic. Great work!
this was a wonderful video! the production quality was absolutely spot on, so i don't think you have to worry about that anymore. nice job for a small youtuber!
The Green Children story is actually pretty fucking sad- the current belief is that they were most likely sole survivors of a shipwreck and that they were the children of Flemish dyers which is why they had a greenish tint to them and the locals couldn't communicate.
Firstly, Bluesquid, I would like to thank you for making a well-edited and scripted video about my iceberg, I wish you success in TH-cam. I created this chart back in 2022; I remember I was interested in the Middle Ages at that time after playing the game “Kingdom Come: Deliverance”. This was my second iceberg, the first was a small iceberg about the Titanic, it was also my first post on reddit. The truth is that seeing your video and recalling this work of mine, I realized how strange this iceberg was, unfinished, with entries that should be in different places, with wrong or misspelled names. I'll list all the items that I think were unclear, my mistakes, and topics that were not correctly mentioned in your video (something I don't blame you for, as I said, this iceberg turned out a bit strange). 1: The original name of the iceberg is "Medieval (and early modern) Iceberg". I'm mentioning this because, despite having mysteries, most entries are about a theme “known” to historiography. I decided to include the beginning of the early modern era (1453-1580s) since the transition from the previous age's thought, economy, and way of life was very gradual. 2: Crusades entry: Yes, I wrote Crusades with a “Z”, sorry. 3: Vlad II Dracul: This entry was supposed to be about Vlad III, but I wrote it wrong again. 4: Stanford Bridge Battle: You forgot to mention that in this battle, a Nordic warrior managed to block the English advance across the bridge by himself. According to reports, he killed up to 40 Englishmen and was defeated only when an English soldier floated under the bridge in a half-barrel and thrust his spear between the bridge planks, mortally wounding him. He is often described as fighting with almost superhuman fury, typical of the berserkers in Norse mythology. 5: Psychedelic Sacred Art: This topic refers to supposed representations of hallucinogenic mushrooms and their effects in some medieval sacred art pieces. The theme is well explained in this video from the “Hochelaga” channel, which I used as a source when I made the Iceberg called: “Psychedelics in Christian Art”. 6: The Roman Empire fell in 1453: This entry was meant to discuss the controversy over the date of the Roman Empire's fall since the Holy Roman Empire also claimed the title of the true Rome. The claim of the Eastern Roman Empire was weakened by the narrative of the historian Hieronymus Wolf, who lived in the HRE and thus fabricated the name “Byzantine Empire” to differentiate the HRE, to him the true successor of Rome, from the schismatic Eastern Roman Empire. You could have also mentioned other empires that claimed the title of Rome's successor, such as the Ottoman or Russian Empires. So, depending on whom you ask and which claim you choose, the Roman Empire might have ended in: 476 AD, 1453 AD, 1806 (HRE), 1917 (Russia), or 1922 (Ottomans). My favorite is the claim of the King of Spain. Shortly after the fall of Constantinople, the last heir of the Eastern Roman Empire passed his dynastic rights to Charles I of Spain, who was also Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, with the title of Charles V. This means that the current King of Spain is the legitimate heir of the Roman Empire. ROME LIVES, ITS EMPEROR IS PHILIP VI OF SPAIN, AND ITS CAPITAL IS MADRID. AVE IMPERATOR MORITVRI TE SALVTANT. 7: Splitting of the moon: Actually, with this entry, I was referring to an event witnessed by monks in 1178. Explanations vary from an asteroid colliding with the moon to a meteorite tearing through the night sky and causing this confusion. I found this account through this video from the “MedievalMadness” channel called: “The Unexplained Medieval Mystery of the Splitting Moon...”. I had no idea that a similar account existed in Islamic faith, and it's good that this coincidence is also within the same historical period. 8: Machu Pichu: This topic is more about the secrets of Machu Picchu, such as the face of the mountain, the perfectly cut stones, and why anyone would build a city in such a hostile place. Also, not many people associate the ruins with the Middle Ages, even though the city was built around the 1420s. 9: Rodulfus Glaber: I placed this guy among the last topics because of the bizarreness of his tales, and also because icebergs include some topics of dubious veracity on purpose, with the intent of “mystery.” But they are just tales. ut of curiosity, my favorite tale of his is “The domain of the dead,” which tells the story of a priest who is appointed to a church right after a massacre was carried out inside it. He is tormented by spirits who expel him from the church twice. On the third attempt to enter the church to purify it from the spirits, they burn him alive. You can see this and other tales in this video from the “MedievalMadness” channel called: “7 Medieval Ghost Stories & Old Tales of The Paranormal...”. 10: Medieval found footage: It is an ARG posted by TH-camr Basty 666. Basically, it's a story about Nazis traveling to the past through a machine known as "Die Glocke." And on one of these trips, they supposedly recorded images of the Middle Ages using this technology. And yes, at the core, this is just a joke. The "found footage", "(DO NOT SEARCH)" and "All copies of X are personalized" are common ironic jokes in iceberg culture. For more information, you can watch this video from the “Rinlanpikk” channel called: “What is “Medieval Found Footage”?”. 11: Banquet of Chestnuts: You wondered why I used purple for this topic; well, the colors red and purple are related to lust, and since red can also mean danger, and I had already used it for “(DO NOT RESEARCH),” I thought it would be cool to use purple, as the entry refers to an orgy. Oh boy, this is probably the longest comment I've ever made on TH-cam. The creation of iceberg charts is a true art (which I certainly am not a master of), discussing a topic and its subtopics while keeping the viewer's attention is a difficult task. Researching everything and assigning each entry its rightful place in the iceberg is an arduous task. An example of an iceberg created with, in my opinion, mastery is the 9/11 Iceberg. It held my attention from start to finish, always surprising me with something new about the topic. The “RamtroStudios” channel made a sensational video about this iceberg, called “The (Full) 9/11 Iceberg Chart Explained”. Thank you, BlueSquid, for your effort in making a video about my iceberg, and congratulations, as you managed to make the second most viewed video on your channel so far from a somewhat bad iceberg. Greetings from Brazil.
I’ve been trying to find a TH-camr with educational videos that are more chill and not so in your face. Sad to see you only have 4 videos so far. Looking forward to more, I’ll be here.
This has great production quality. Glad to see your channel is getting into people's suggestions. I'm going to like and subscribe as well, looking forward to more!
Definitely subscribed after a few minutes into this one, glad I found it; after this one I’m watching the empire and civilization video. Keep up the great work and thanks for what you do!
Great video, just wanted to leave two quick observations: 1. The supposed "Medieval found footage", I think, is reference to a video on youtube that supposedly depicts, well, a time traveller recording footage in the medieval period. One commentor on reddit mentioned that the footage was from a 1963 spanish film called "El valle de las espadas" or valley of the swords, released in english as "The Castillian". Basically it depicts the adventures of a 10th century castillian count named Fernán Gonzélez who founded the comital dynasty whose descendents would rule Castille in the 11th century. The commentor goes on to expose the real locations of the footage of the video and it is genuinely interesting. I think the video is more of a not so clear attempt at evoking a sense of timelessness or even provoking an eerie sub-conscious reaction, like an uncanny valley sort of concept. 2. Any reason as to why Prester John was not mentioned?
That is interesting on the found footage thing and as for the prester john thing, he was not on the iceberg, but I sort of covered him on my previous iceberg. Also, in the future I hope to be able to make a longer form video about the story of prester john.
Yeah same, I just called the video that because there are a lot of mysteries or strange events on the iceberg further down and I don't really know how to classify things on the iceberg such as "islam" for example other than maybe an event or occurrence, thank you!
Wow an actual good spirited analysis of medieval phenomena that doesn’t endlessly caricature Christian history and European civilization nature is healing
@chasetosh3767 He's referring to the now long standing phenomenon of intellectual discussion of European history (especially in regards to the middle ages) revolving around a very biased and antiwhite characterization of that civilization as being uniquely ignorant, backward, filthy, and hateful. It's been the mainstream view for decades at this point, and is quite obviously motivated by one's personal politics. Folk like the above commenter will run interference for it with moat and baley tactics (a form of arguing in bad faith you can look up if you want to know more about). I too am glad to see more and more people rising above this politically charged consensus.
more information about medieval found footage- about the arg, the full story is that nazis time traveled all the way back to the medieval times and well, recorded it lol. scare theather made a video about it but thats really the basic gist of it
Gunpowder probably came from the Vikings. There's been a manuscript from the 1250's with about 30 different recipes depending on application. It was disputed until a few months ago. Modern forensics took a long look and say it is genuine. The attribution goes to them due the development time in refining dozens of mixing ratios. It could not have been invented and refined And crossed two continents in such a short time without reasonable doubt. They claim the capsaicin hot pepper is there's as well, right now.
Clapping in front of chichen itza absolutely does make a bird sound! I've done it and there videos of it on youtube. If anyone ever visits make sure you stand right in front of the stairs and clapp three time really loud!
The church I went to as a kid had some of those paintings where baby Jesus had weirdly adult proportions and I always wondered wtf was up with that. Interesting
really enjoyed the video but feel like i’m losing it because most of these aren’t mysteries at all??? just the concept of “feudalism” and “gunpowder” isn’t a mystery?
Filler content, I didn't like it either. It was presented as a Medieval MYSTERY Iceberg. If it was simply titled Medieval History Iceberg it would actually be spot on.
I loved your last video but man this is a glow up compared to it. Everything about this is x10 quality compared to the last. Picture transitions are clean and you got great narration. Keep it up bro.
“The dark ages weren’t dark, because feelings, however it was set back ( darker) than the time before” this is how history is altered, changed, and then forgotten.
I also wonder if the Battle of Stamford Bridge was mentioned because of that one Viking of note, a berserker or just really dedicated dude, who held back the entire army of Godwinson and killed forty of his men, blocking off the bridge all himself; before finally being skewered himself on those very pikemen floating in the river he had just killed
Great video!! Only one teeny tiny request for next videos. Maybe try not to knock your microphone too much when recording your voiceover. It's not the best for us very anxious ppl wearing headphones😅 Just finishing your video now and it was great!! Keep up the good work!!!
Normally I avoid KT content since most TH-camrs include all theories as equally valid, but for iceberg content, I've been impressed so far and am curious to see what he does.
This was well-researched. It would have been easy to lean in on the spooky mysteries and conspiracy theories, so it's really good that you went to the effort of actually reading up on them and providing the rational explanations. The original iceberg seems pretty odd- there's quite a lot of post-medieval stuff on it, and there doesn't seem to be much logic to the order the entries were put in- lots of not-very-mysterious stuff ranked as more 'mysterious' than the genuinely eerie and unexplained tales. Like, why would the 'feast of the Chestnuts' be the deepest part? It's just a dubious anecdote about a debauched party intended to illustrate the corruption of Pope Alexander VI and his family. There are loads of more interesting, better-documented and more mysterious stories about them. Cesare likely murdered his own brother and Alexander had his daughter Lucrezia declared a virgin so he could annul her marriage and marry her off to someone else, even though she may have been pregnant at the time. Just a really odd choice.
My criticism would be your "Christianity map" is not accurate for many reasons. You obviously don't understand what a Catholic rite is......Roman rite is just ONE rite under 🇻🇦THE 1 HOLY CATHOLIC & APOSTOLIC CHURCH🇻🇦 AND every bible is Catholic and the protestants just took out and edited their versions (sinners bible) and Jesus founded the Catholic church soooooo you should have CATHOLIC at the top of your map. Thanks 🙏
20:32 So, overall great characterization. However, one thing I think needs some good clarification here: the Arab Slave Trade didn't just go away. It was pretty much diffused as late as the early 1900's due to colonization of North Africa by the British and French. Additionally, it formed the foundation for the modern slave trade that still exists today, especially in states like Qatar.
Hey man, great vid, mind telling me what mic you use and how you edit your audio, I do something similar and just wondering since It would help me out, Thanks!
I just use a blue yeti mic, I'm not sure the model but it's pretty basic, also to edit my audio I do not do much as of rn, I just record it and adjust the audio levels once it is in the audio track if they need adjusted, with time I will hopefully have better audio.
Hi, new sub here. I have a few thoughts I'd like to share. Some consider the UFO phenomenon as a modern folk tell tale just like dragons, mermaids or kidnaps by demons in medieval times, just modernized into the context we're living today, and following that thought, what the hell was the Nuremberg event? It's like a literal star wars or an aerial warfare, besides, based on the testimony and chronicles, it's like an actual close encounter of the second kind, it's nuts. On the other hand, it seems you have forgotten or not considered mentioning The Plinian Races, they are mostly featured in bestiaries but they run into a rabbit hole leading into teratology territory and the likes, authors like Ambroise Paré, Conrad Lycosthenes, Ulisse Aldrovandi among others have depicted in some kind, the "other" human races called by Pliny the Elder back in the day, perhaps you want to dive in this weird part of medical oddities and prodigies. I have some scanned material of old books if you like.
I do have a Patreon, and it is 1 dollar, I do not feel right making it more than that as of right now when I have barely any content, I will provide the link in my next video for it. Any support at all whether Patreon or likes or comments on TH-cam videos is extremely appreciated, this channel is for fun and entertainment.
Ufos are not in those Bible paintings, they're depicting scenes from the Bible and the "ufos" are how the artists depicted God as described in the scene.
For the torture section, yeah most famous "medieval torture instruments" were actually creations of kinky Victorians that were trying to paint themselves as enlightened, colonialist propaganda basically
Your content is great but just one note, your pronunciation is off quite a few times. For instance Borgia is said like Bore-jah. The video would have been stellar if you double checked the pronunciations especially of names. Keep up the great work!
From what I heard Medieval Found footage was a video posted on youtube that showed black and white footage from the Medieval time period, only thing is that the video was hoax and took footage from a old medieval movie heres a link to the video th-cam.com/video/IfY2F1-w6N0/w-d-xo.html
Did you get into this via history based games? If you dont have your career path set, I'd encourage you to consider the field of educational gaming. It's blowing up & younger folks with indepth gaming experience & academic knowledge have some great opportunities to get creative. Even outside of schools,educational games are one of the top interests among professions like museum staff, cultural landmarks, arts programming, etc.
I stand by the term "Dark Ages", though I think the plural is important. It was not a period of complete darkness for human history, but instead a period where comparatively many places were going through a dark age. Hence a period of "Dark Ages". Seriously though, historians be like "You like x! Why do you hate y?" As if saying some places in the world were Dark automatically means all places were. I mean, are they going to take issue with the Renaissance because there were American tribes not going through a rebirth? Get real!

Well I'm no John D Rockefeller, but I agree! (a joke for the olds, I think I'm even too young for it, really lol. Also sorry John but if you're actually a Rockefeller, the olds have made this joke before lol, even if you're not a Richie Rockefeller)
hi, liked yor video, but your voice volume is really low. try learning about compressors. bye
I'm glad I got recommended this, this looks absolutely sick, I can't wait to watch it later. It looks like you put a ton of work into this, awesome job!
Hey OP did you watch the video yet?
@@regulargoat7259reminds me of a meme
Can this be considered an actual iceberg? I feel that it's not quite worthy of that moniker . . .
No he hasnt yet@regulargoat7259
Bro ain't ever gon' watch it.
medieval found footage most likely refers to the concept of medieval people being capable of photography, it is a very fringe theory but there are some interesting things about it. like for example we still don't know how Da Vinci executed his sfumato technique, the paint particles in his paintings have been shown to be only 5 microns thick (human hair being 70 microns thick and many of our modern paint particles being 30 microns thick), we don't know how he did it but he was able to produce nearly photographic accuracy when it came to lighting and shadows. it could also be a literal film of the medieval world.

Pope innocent has got to be the most suspicious title that's like your main villain working for a company called totally love humans
thats how i feel about a villain in the first spider man playstation game, i still havent finished it but even in the beginning it was just so obvious

The slave trade has most definitely NOT gone away,people just choose to ignore it.
It’s definitely not the level it used to be though. It’s an issue still in many places by hopefully we can continue its abolition
its crazy to say that when ur government still force africans kids to mine minerals, its thanks to that that u can write this from ur phone
I recently got into iceberg charts last month and TH-cam recommended me your video. I love the effort and dedication you put on that topic. Great work!
dude this video is wizard 🤘🏻 love the subject matter and you put it together great. glad it got recommended .
Thank you so much for not putting music or sound effects and video clips. The sleep community can put it in their playlists! ❤
Man good video I've been looking for an medieval iceberg video for what it felted like ever
this was a wonderful video! the production quality was absolutely spot on, so i don't think you have to worry about that anymore. nice job for a small youtuber!
The Green Children story is actually pretty fucking sad- the current belief is that they were most likely sole survivors of a shipwreck and that they were the children of Flemish dyers which is why they had a greenish tint to them and the locals couldn't communicate.
The idea of them being Flemish is contentious. The local lord who took them would have recognised them if they were Flemish
Please do a knights Templar deep dive/conspiracy video! I’ve always been curious about learning about them/it!
Yes!!!
Catholic Church is in the f.b.i. watch list now. Seriously Google it if you don't believe me.

Great video, just wanted to leave two quick observations:
1. The supposed "Medieval found footage", I think, is reference to a video on youtube that supposedly depicts, well, a time traveller recording footage in the medieval period. One commentor on reddit mentioned that the footage was from a 1963 spanish film called "El valle de las espadas" or valley of the swords, released in english as "The Castillian". Basically it depicts the adventures of a 10th century castillian count named Fernán Gonzélez who founded the comital dynasty whose descendents would rule Castille in the 11th century. The commentor goes on to expose the real locations of the footage of the video and it is genuinely interesting. I think the video is more of a not so clear attempt at evoking a sense of timelessness or even provoking an eerie sub-conscious reaction, like an uncanny valley sort of concept.
2. Any reason as to why Prester John was not mentioned?
That is interesting on the found footage thing and as for the prester john thing, he was not on the iceberg, but I sort of covered him on my previous iceberg. Also, in the future I hope to be able to make a longer form video about the story of prester john.
I don't understand how many of these are "mysteries" but great video!
Yeah same, I just called the video that because there are a lot of mysteries or strange events on the iceberg further down and I don't really know how to classify things on the iceberg such as "islam" for example other than maybe an event or occurrence, thank you!
@@Blue_Squid yeah fair enought, great content anyways!
Thoroughly enjoyed this, glad the algorithm sent me something good! I can’t wait to see what else you do.
Liked and subscribed! Great niche content. Looking forward to seeing what you do next
I had never heard of John Cabot. Thank you! A most fascinating read.
Wow an actual good spirited analysis of medieval phenomena that doesn’t endlessly caricature Christian history and European civilization nature is healing
What do you mean by "endlessly caricature Christian history and European civilization nature"? If you don't mind me asking
@@ChaseDaOrk3767he's probably coping that people see the bad parts of it for what they were and not cater to some fringe belief, idk
@chasetosh3767 He's referring to the now long standing phenomenon of intellectual discussion of European history (especially in regards to the middle ages) revolving around a very biased and antiwhite characterization of that civilization as being uniquely ignorant, backward, filthy, and hateful. It's been the mainstream view for decades at this point, and is quite obviously motivated by one's personal politics. Folk like the above commenter will run interference for it with moat and baley tactics (a form of arguing in bad faith you can look up if you want to know more about). I too am glad to see more and more people rising above this politically charged consensus.
@@Guy-Mann Yup
@@M50A1 There were no bad parts it was all good, you're mad
You are single-handedly saving me from brain rot!!!
Medieval and Mysteries.
An excellent combination.
Man I love it when youtube recommends weirdly specific things that are rad
more information about medieval found footage- about the arg, the full story is that nazis time traveled all the way back to the medieval times and well, recorded it lol. scare theather made a video about it but thats really the basic gist of it
My favorite type of content. Thank you
It's good but still looking for the "mysteries" in this video...
Ive searched for months for an iceberg like this. Then I look at the whole channel wow!
11:16 Baby Jesus looks like Dwight Schrute.
Gunpowder probably came from the Vikings. There's been a manuscript from the 1250's with about 30 different recipes depending on application. It was disputed until a few months ago. Modern forensics took a long look and say it is genuine. The attribution goes to them due the development time in refining dozens of mixing ratios. It could not have been invented and refined And crossed two continents in such a short time without reasonable doubt.
They claim the capsaicin hot pepper is there's as well, right now.
Clapping in front of chichen itza absolutely does make a bird sound! I've done it and there videos of it on youtube. If anyone ever visits make sure you stand right in front of the stairs and clapp three time really loud!
This might be the best thing I have ever watched
I highly enjoyed this video, I will be subscribing and I am excited to see where this channel goes in the future!
Such a neat video! This sort of cultural context makes it so much easier to understand motivation
This might be one of the best yt vids aot
Police: "DROP THE GUN"
Suspect: "*impression of the health inspector from SpongeBob*"
The church I went to as a kid had some of those paintings where baby Jesus had weirdly adult proportions and I always wondered wtf was up with that. Interesting
MEDIEVAL ICEBERG!
how dare you not posting this before
really enjoyed the video but feel like i’m losing it because most of these aren’t mysteries at all??? just the concept of “feudalism” and “gunpowder” isn’t a mystery?
Filler content, I didn't like it either. It was presented as a Medieval MYSTERY Iceberg. If it was simply titled Medieval History Iceberg it would actually be spot on.
I think renaming it to Medieval History would be a good idea since I seen some complaints about this. Good video regardless

Ohhhh so thats why the tf2 half zatoichi has to have a kill to switch weapon, what a cool historical refrence.
This has such great editing and is extremely well made, absolutely a 100k sub lvl of channel!!!
I love getting recommended content from smaller creators, let me sit back while I puff this Bud & enjoy this treat 🤴🏻
I loved your last video but man this is a glow up compared to it. Everything about this is x10 quality compared to the last. Picture transitions are clean and you got great narration. Keep it up bro.
“The dark ages weren’t dark, because feelings, however it was set back ( darker) than the time before” this is how history is altered, changed, and then forgotten.
This is so specific to my interests I’m so hype rn
I also wonder if the Battle of Stamford Bridge was mentioned because of that one Viking of note, a berserker or just really dedicated dude, who held back the entire army of Godwinson and killed forty of his men, blocking off the bridge all himself; before finally being skewered himself on those very pikemen floating in the river he had just killed
Great video!! Only one teeny tiny request for next videos. Maybe try not to knock your microphone too much when recording your voiceover. It's not the best for us very anxious ppl wearing headphones😅 Just finishing your video now and it was great!! Keep up the good work!!!
I jumped on this faster then the plague jumped onto all those medieval people 😂
It’s always the channels with not many subscribers with best content
Good stuff. Algorhythm is picking it up too
The Protestant Reformation isn’t exactly a mystery, bro.
Thank you 😊
gonna watch this today while i eat pot roast. thanks
90% of these aren't mysteries, I don't get if the iceberg was wrongly named or the video. Nice video, but still.
I was confused at first especially historically events like the 100yrs wars and the mention of gunpowder lol
Yeah. He specifically says something similar to this in the very first sentence of the video.....
Someone wasn't paying much attention
Are you slow
Great video
The algorithm is watching you
Plz do deep dive on Templars. Love those whacky boys
Please make a video about the Knights Templars! this video was great.
Normally I avoid KT content since most TH-camrs include all theories as equally valid, but for iceberg content, I've been impressed so far and am curious to see what he does.
Very interesting video great work :)
Amazing video! Could you add time stamps on the comments or the video?
Want him to do ur homework too?

Thank you for the idea.
Great video, very interesting
Maybe XIXth century iceberg next?
The Cathars were basically Gnostic
The Dark Ages refers to the lack of historical sources. Not the lack of progress. People need to understand this.
This was well-researched. It would have been easy to lean in on the spooky mysteries and conspiracy theories, so it's really good that you went to the effort of actually reading up on them and providing the rational explanations. The original iceberg seems pretty odd- there's quite a lot of post-medieval stuff on it, and there doesn't seem to be much logic to the order the entries were put in- lots of not-very-mysterious stuff ranked as more 'mysterious' than the genuinely eerie and unexplained tales. Like, why would the 'feast of the Chestnuts' be the deepest part? It's just a dubious anecdote about a debauched party intended to illustrate the corruption of Pope Alexander VI and his family. There are loads of more interesting, better-documented and more mysterious stories about them. Cesare likely murdered his own brother and Alexander had his daughter Lucrezia declared a virgin so he could annul her marriage and marry her off to someone else, even though she may have been pregnant at the time. Just a really odd choice.
Yeah I agree with you about the ordering of some of the entries, they were a bit misplaced I felt as well. Thank you though for the compliment!
My criticism would be your "Christianity map" is not accurate for many reasons. You obviously don't understand what a Catholic rite is......Roman rite is just ONE rite under
🇻🇦THE 1 HOLY CATHOLIC & APOSTOLIC CHURCH🇻🇦
AND
every bible is Catholic and the protestants just took out and edited their versions (sinners bible) and Jesus founded the Catholic church soooooo you should have CATHOLIC at the top of your map. Thanks 🙏
Very nice
Fire video 🔥
You have a soothing voice
20:32 So, overall great characterization. However, one thing I think needs some good clarification here: the Arab Slave Trade didn't just go away. It was pretty much diffused as late as the early 1900's due to colonization of North Africa by the British and French. Additionally, it formed the foundation for the modern slave trade that still exists today, especially in states like Qatar.
Hey man, great vid, mind telling me what mic you use and how you edit your audio, I do something similar and just wondering since It would help me out, Thanks!
I just use a blue yeti mic, I'm not sure the model but it's pretty basic, also to edit my audio I do not do much as of rn, I just record it and adjust the audio levels once it is in the audio track if they need adjusted, with time I will hopefully have better audio.
Hi, new sub here. I have a few thoughts I'd like to share. Some consider the UFO phenomenon as a modern folk tell tale just like dragons, mermaids or kidnaps by demons in medieval times, just modernized into the context we're living today, and following that thought, what the hell was the Nuremberg event? It's like a literal star wars or an aerial warfare, besides, based on the testimony and chronicles, it's like an actual close encounter of the second kind, it's nuts.
On the other hand, it seems you have forgotten or not considered mentioning The Plinian Races, they are mostly featured in bestiaries but they run into a rabbit hole leading into teratology territory and the likes, authors like Ambroise Paré, Conrad Lycosthenes, Ulisse Aldrovandi among others have depicted in some kind, the "other" human races called by Pliny the Elder back in the day, perhaps you want to dive in this weird part of medical oddities and prodigies. I have some scanned material of old books if you like.
holy shit this will be great to watch while I eat bread 💘
I’m genuinely shocked this doesn’t have like hundreds of thousands of views
EDIT: got a pattern or even just a cash app I can support you with?
I do have a Patreon, and it is 1 dollar, I do not feel right making it more than that as of right now when I have barely any content, I will provide the link in my next video for it. Any support at all whether Patreon or likes or comments on TH-cam videos is extremely appreciated, this channel is for fun and entertainment.
Ufos are not in those Bible paintings, they're depicting scenes from the Bible and the "ufos" are how the artists depicted God as described in the scene.
Go off bro
For the torture section, yeah most famous "medieval torture instruments" were actually creations of kinky Victorians that were trying to paint themselves as enlightened, colonialist propaganda basically
12:28 finally someone says it
27:30 I dunno if id use the word 'supress' for what was done to the Albegensians, Waldensians & Cathars
Id use the more apt, Genocide. :|
How is it a shameless plug if you apologized for it? You obviously felt shame 😂 Great video keep it up
Any art historian can debunk the "UFOs in paintings" myth 🙄
55:50 don't worry it's just a troll
Thank you emperor.
There’s a vid onYT that shows supposed Medievil found footage
Your content is great but just one note, your pronunciation is off quite a few times. For instance Borgia is said like Bore-jah. The video would have been stellar if you double checked the pronunciations especially of names. Keep up the great work!
Ah thanks! I pronounced it the way I did because that is how I heard it in my one college class lol. I appreciate your comment though!
From what I heard Medieval Found footage was a video posted on youtube that showed black and white footage from the Medieval time period, only thing is that the video was hoax and took footage from a old medieval movie heres a link to the video th-cam.com/video/IfY2F1-w6N0/w-d-xo.html
I miss the music. Dooo do do do do do.
Did you get into this via history based games? If you dont have your career path set, I'd encourage you to consider the field of educational gaming. It's blowing up & younger folks with indepth gaming experience & academic knowledge have some great opportunities to get creative. Even outside of schools,educational games are one of the top interests among professions like museum staff, cultural landmarks, arts programming, etc.
Great content
midevil found footage.. omg he doesn't know. lol.
you only have 700 followers? That’s impossible
I stand by the term "Dark Ages", though I think the plural is important. It was not a period of complete darkness for human history, but instead a period where comparatively many places were going through a dark age. Hence a period of "Dark Ages".
Seriously though, historians be like "You like x! Why do you hate y?" As if saying some places in the world were Dark automatically means all places were. I mean, are they going to take issue with the Renaissance because there were American tribes not going through a rebirth? Get real!
How are many of these mysteries.
cool
1498 is renaissance
