How a Civil War-Era Politician Invented Atlantis Atun-Shei Films 2021-05-26 | In the late 1870s, a former congressman named Ignatius Donnelly sat down to write a book about Atlantis. His ideas went on to singlehandedly kickstart the modern obsession with Plato's mythical lost city, and inspired countless other related conspiracy theories. Today, he's regarded as the father of pseudoarchaeology.With the expert help of fellow history YouTubers @HistorywithCy and @WorldofAntiquity, I explore the legend of Atlantis through the lens of Ignatius Donnelly's life and legacy. Though informed more by his own distaste with Gilded Age America than any legitimate archaeological evidence, Donnelly's feverish theories have enjoyed remarkable longevity – in fact, you've probably heard one or two of them on the History Channel.Be sure to check out these related videos:"Ancient Aliens!

D E M O N O L O G Y Atun-Shei Films 2022-07-29 | Demonology is a treatise on witchcraft and the occult written by King James VI of Scotland (later James I of England), first published in 1597. The book was a major influence on the Puritan witch hunters of the 17th century, including Matthew Hopkins (the infamous "Witchfinder General" of the English Civil War) and the prosecutors of the Salem Witch Trials.James frames his argument in a Socratic dialogue between Epistemon, a wholehearted believer in witchcraft, and Philomathes, a skeptic. In this video, an actor will play both parts and present the abridged text of Demonology in the form of a theatrical performance.As always on this channel, the Early Modern English dialogue will be spoken in Original Pronunciation, a reconstructed accent which approximates with reasonable certainty the dialect of southern England in the Jacobean era. Subtitles are included to aid in comprehension, and James' original spelling has been modified to make the text more accessible to modern audiences.King James believed he was the target of an international Satanic conspiracy – he was personally involved in the infamously lethal North Berwick Witch Trials of the 1590s, an experience which had a profound impact on him and inspired him to write Demonology.

The Forgotten Confederate Monuments of New Orleans Atun-Shei Films 2021-11-11 | In 2017, the city of New Orleans controversially removed four of its Confederate monuments. But few at the time took note of the smaller and less prominent monuments on the neutral ground of Norman C. Francis Parkway in the Mid-City neighborhood.

Karlsefni and his crew would spend three summers in the New World, where they would have to deal with internal division, hostile Native Americans, and (according to some) the wrath of demonic mythological creatures.Support Atun-Shei Films on Patreon ► patreon.com/atunsheifilmsLeave a Tip via Paypal ► paypal.me/atunsheifilmsBuy Merch ► teespring.com/stores/atun-shei-filmsOfficial Website ► atunsheifilms.comOriginal Music by Dillon DeRosa ► http://dillonderosa.com~REFERENCES~[1] Magnus Magnusson & Hermann Pálsson.

Fighting for Freedom: The Weapons and Strategies of the 1811 Slave Revolt (feat. InRangeTV) Atun-Shei Films 2021-07-21 | I highly recommend visiting the 1811 Kid Ory Historic House during your next trip to the New Orleans area! 1811kidoryhistorichouse.comKarl from @InrangeTv was recently in town, and we visited the plantation house where the 1811 Slave Revolt began. In this video, we examine the uprising primarily from a military perspective, discussing the weaponry the enslaved army used, the tactics they employed, and the likelihood of the rebels' long-term success if their battle with the local planter militia had gone a little bit differently.The 1811 Revolt, despite being the largest rebellion of enslaved people in American history, has not been the subject of much scholarship, and in many ways is still poorly understood. Regardless, we were surprised how much our visit forced us to rethink the conventional historical narrative. In Karl's companion video, we discuss alternative perspectives of the revolt and speculate about what truths may have been lost to history.
