      @@dubuyajay9964 no eggs, a lot of plant extracts and a natural jojo like oil almost like joba oil. I used the recipe used in Pompeii and Babylon. From research I think its the same blue from the Egyptians.

      Dan Ansett Its also the tendency of someone who speaks a Latin language. Its also common in some Asian languages too. Even people of French, Spanish or Italian decent hereditaraly maintain that vocal pattern even if they were born speaking another language. Its also the reason so many people of English decent talk that way, considering the English are mixed with French and Italian too.

      Interesting. I know people who get quieter - to get you to lean in and pay attention. It's more of a one-on-one technique though. This should be more of a public speaking style delivery. What we have here is very frustrating for the hearing impaired, especially since auto-subtitles haven't a clue what he is saying, either.

    There was also a blue pigment derived from snails found along the eastern Mediterranean coast. It is mentioned in the Bible. Very expensive, often limited by law to royalty. The snails are now extinct having been over fished in antiquity.

It is occasionally known as Asp of Jerusalem. Woad is also the name of a blue dye produced from the leaves of the plant.

    • @HreForTheMusic
      @HreForTheMusic 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Its the same reason the sky or water is blue; the blue light (shortest wavelength) scatters the easiest so its the color we see. All the other colors are absorbed within the ice.

    • @SIMKINETICS
      @SIMKINETICS 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Josh L That doesn't explain blue ice adjacent to white (colorless) ice in glaciers.

    • @HreForTheMusic
      @HreForTheMusic 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      true, but that is because when glaciers form the snow that falls (white) has not been compressed into ice (blue). The lose particles of snow reflect light much better than ice does, making it white and the light that does make it into the ice part then absorbs basically all the light except blue.

      @SIMKINETICS 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      emlmm88 I doubt that. I've seen videos of glaciers from helicopters that change angle of view in all axes without any change in color of the blue portions. Instead, the blue appears like a dye or pigment.
