Shintoism, the indigenous religious practice of Japan. Even with an over 2000 year history Shinto has never been easy to define, the word Shinto wasn’t even used much until the seventeenth century. Shinto has its own shrines, priests, gods and rituals. Everything you'd expect from a religion but today while over 80% of Japanese people participate in Shinto practices only 3-4% identify themselves as believers in Shinto and many Japanese people practice Shinto alongside Buddhism without any sense of contradiction.
So what is Shinto? Why are Sumo wrestlers so salty? And what can the god of hair do for you? Well, let's find out.

Few threats have devastated India like the Khalistan insurgency of the 1980s and 1990s. A dark chapter that left tens of thousands dead, unleashed tanks on one of Earth's holiest places, orchestrated the most chilling terror attack in Canadian history, and silenced India's most formidable Prime Minister this movement appeared extinguished by the mid-90s, only to rise again from the ashes fueled by unresolved tensions and leap into headlines in 2023.
So what is Khalistan? Why has it resurfaced? And can fertiliser be blamed for it all?

One half, eastern Bengal makes up the country of Bangladesh literally Land of the Bengali. The other half makes up the state of West Bengal and parts of Tripura and Assam in India.
Divided by borders since 1947 Bengalis still share a common history, food, culture, and language that they are immensely proud of and have died to protect.
There are roughly 300 million Bengalis worldwide, making them the world’s 3rd largest ethno-lingustic group.
About 283 million of them live in Bengal, a small area of just 239,000km2. Just 1 half of Bengal, Bangladesh is the 11th most densely populated country on Earth and every country above it is a microstate. There are more Bengalis in this spot than there are people in all of Russia, Brazil, or Mexico.
Bengal is a thriving hub of people and culture, with a history stretching over millennia and across oceans, filled with daring conquests, magnificent architecture, and delicious food. In what was once the richest country in the world. Join me as we figure out who are the Bengalis, why is Bengal separated, and what exactly is a duckupine?

Baghdad is home to 7 million people. This sprawling urban jungle is the second largest city in the Arab world after Cairo. But between the skyscrapers and honking cars you can see remains of this city's magnificent mediaeval past. This once Round City’s walls crumbled long ago. But a thousand years ago brilliant scientists, architects, writers, and merchants of different races and religions made massive contributions to the knowledge of humanity. Back when Paris and London were home to 20,000 people over 1 Million Baghdadi's lived here among canals, libraries, and palm trees.

Regardless of how many there are, they all have names. But what is an Africa? What does Asia mean? And is Australia a filthy name thief? Well, Let's Find Out.

In the frozen Far-North of Europe, beneath the Northern Lights, lies a land of snow, endless tundra, and dense forests. Where ancient languages and songs echo on the frigid air. Where majestic reindeer roam...majestically.
Anyway...this is Sapmi, home of the Sami people. The indigenous people of northern Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia's Kola Peninsula.
Located mostly north of the Arctic circle, in Sapmi the sun disappears for months in the winter, and may never set in the summer. This is what midnight looks like in summer. For thousands of years the Sami have not only survived but thrived in this land of -30 degree celsius winters and midsummer snows.
But who are the Sami, what is their story, and wizards...can they help you find your lost socks??? Well Let's Find Out!

The Māori are the indigenous people of Aotearoa or what is today New Zealand. Famous for their haka, poi, and face tattoos. They're descended from Polynesians, the greatest voyagers the world has ever known. They hunted gigantic like mega-birds, terrified European colonists, and built a rich culture while isolated from the rest of the world.
But who are the Māori, what is their history, and what exactly is a Trojan Whale? Well, Let's Find Out!

When people hear the word cult a certain image tends to burst into their brain. Brainwashed devotees worshipping a crazed narcissist and ready to sacrifice anything for them.
While Jonestown, Heaven’s Gate, and the Solar Temple have given cults a violent reputation, most cults keep a much lower profile.
Cults are everywhere. There's probably a cult in your town. And the tricks they use to lure people in aren’t complicated but rather tried and tested social manipulation tactics that anyone can fall for.
So what is a cult, how do they trap people, and how do people end up believing that volcano alien ghosts are living on their bodies? Well Let’s Find Out.

Today Tea is the second most popular beverage in the world after water. Global consumption of tea is forecasted to reach 297 billion liters by 2021.
In China, it's sipped from tiny porcelain cups. Tibetans mix it with salt and yak butter. The Japanese whisk it during ceremonies. Russians add lemon. Moroccans use mint. And Americans add a dash of ehh High Fructose Corn Syrup. The Irish and Turks drink it by the bucket load while the call of the Chai Wallah is known across India where they serve it with milk, sugar, and spices.
It was tribute to Chinese Emperors, sustained meditating Buddhist monks, and turned Britain into the deadliest drug lord in history. So what is the history of tea, how has it changed our world, and what does it have to do with Jesus’ Chinese brother? Well, Let's Find Out.

In British India in the 1920's odd stone seals kept popping up at ruins near Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro along the Indus river valley. They baffled everyone, with their inscriptions in a never before seen written language. Archaeologists, intrigued by this, started excavating these previously ignored sites.
They soon uncovered a 4,500-year-old civilisation. A civilisation completely absent in the historical record. One of the earliest urban civilizations in human history. It flourished alongside Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and China around 3300-1900BCE but was bigger than all of them. A civilisation that built wonders not to gods or kings but to sanitation. A civilisation without war. Made up of massive planned cities built in brick. Masters of bronze and sculpture. They created their own writing system, traded across the vast sea, and possibly invented the world’s first indoor toilets and then vanished for reasons still not understood.
So what was this civilisation in the Indus Valley, what did they achieve, and what does it have to do with rubber duckies? Well let’s find out.

Judaism, at 4000 years old it is one of the oldest monotheistic religions and the granddaddy of Christianity and Islam. But even though its teachings helped create the world’s two most popular religions many people don’t know what the Jews actually believe.
Judaism developed in the eastern Mediterranean over the last 4000ish years. Today there are about 15 million Jews making it the world’s tenth-largest religion.
What is the Torah? What’s a Covenant? And why does no one worship mermen in the Middle-East anymore? Well Let’s Find out.

Would life be possible without coffee? Would our modern society cease to function if we could no longer drink our dark piping hot caffeine elixir?
Our story begins in a dark, scary time in human history. The Precaffazine.
The ancient land of Ethiopia may be the cradle of all humankind. But more importantly it is the birthplace of coffee. Here in the mountainous rainforests near Kaffa, coffee has grown wild for millennia.
We don’t exactly know when humans first began consuming coffee. But the most popular story involves some happy goats.
The history of coffee is a fascinating one. One connected to mystical Muslim Sufi’s, French revolutionaries, slaves, soldiers, constipation and alcohol-soaked toddlers. So what is the history of coffee? Well. Let’s find out!

What do Emperor Xerxes, Freddie Mercury, and Ireland’s richest citizen Pallonji Mistry have in common? All of them are Zoroastrians. The ancient religion of Iran. This is one of the oldest ongoing religions and altered the course of history by influencing Judaism, Christanity, Islam, and Greek philosophy.
Zoroastrianism was born in ancient Iran at least 3,500 years ago. It all began around 1500BCE give or take a few centuries with the Prophet Zarathustra or Zoroaster as the ancient Greeks called him and so English speakers do too. While we call the religion Zoroastrianism actual Zoroastrians tend to call it Mazdayasna, meaning Worshipper of Mazda.
But today it has only a fraction of the millions of followers it once had. So what is Zoroastrianism, what do Zoroastrians believe, and where do otters fit into it? Well Let’s find out.

We’ve all heard of Climate Change. Greta has told us all about it. David Attenborough has forced us all to watch walrus’s die. Icecaps are melting, Australia is burning. It’s been intense. The vast majority of scientists believe that human industries are radically transforming the climate.
Looking at the headlines you’d think climate change snuck up on us suddenly out of nowhere.
Surely we’ve only known about greenhouse gases for a few decades at the most. Yeah, Exxon knew about the effects fossil fuels were having on the climate back in the 70’s did their best to suppress it. But surely it couldn’t go back much further than that could it? Yeah….Try about 200 years. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTRIIF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE TO MY PATREON PLEASE SEE HERE.

Sikhism, the 5th largest and youngest of the world religions. A religion that preaches about love, peace, and the equality of humankind, but also asks it’s followers to carry swords.
Sikhism originated in the Punjab area of India and Pakistan, 500 years ago. The Punjab, the land of five rivers, is one of the most historically and culturally dense areas on Earth. Today there are about 25 million Sikhs. They make up about 2% of India's population but about 60% of the Punjab's. The Sikh diaspora is spread out across the world with concentrations in the UK, Canada, The US, East Africa, Australia, and Malaysia. Sikhs interestingly enough make up almost 1.5% of Canada's population which is second only to India.

Just going from Clones, Ireland to Cloverhill, Ireland will bring you across an international border 4 times!
Today the border between the UK and Ireland is invisible. In the past, not so much! There used to be barbed wire, soldiers, and checkpoints along this 500km border. Bombs, bodies, and balaclavas were common sights and this squiggly line of the map caused 30 years of sectarian violence. But why is there an Irish border? Why is Ireland divided? And will Brexit affect the Irish border? In this video, we'll find out
The Northern Irish Peace Process ended the Troubles. Paramilitary organisations surrendered their weapons. Communities began to come together, old hatreds start to fade away. Now 30,000 people cross the invisible border every day.
Then Brexit happened.
We’ll have to see how Brexit turns out and what effects it will have on the border. But looking at the past we can see that the effects of a border, especially one as messy as this one, can have unintended consequences.

Jainism, some called it the world’s most peaceful religion. Its monks are famous worldwide for their strict adherence to non-violence. Going as far as to sweep the floor as they walk to avoid stepping on lifeforms, covering their mouths as to not swallow or breath hot air on living creatures, and following a strict vegetarian diet that not only bans all meat, fish, and eggs but also potatoes!!! So what is Jainism and why is it considered the world’s most peaceful religion.
Their ancient philosophy has garnered the eye of the modern world as their ideas of non-violence, strict vegetarianism, and what could be called an environmentalist outlook are strikingly relevant.
Jains have been highly influential in India for thousands of years. Shaping it's vegetarian-friendly diet and lending the concept of Ahimsa to Gandhi's independence movement.
A Jain is someone who accepts the teachings of the Tirthankaras. 'Jainism' comes from the word “Jina”.
Tirthankaras are the most important people in Jainism. They have removed all their attachments to the world and during their lifetimes they managed to break free from the cycle of rebirth and death that Jains believe keeps souls trapped on Earth.

#India #Jain #Jainism #IndianHistory #Jains #VPN #NordVPN Music by Epidemic Sound: http://epidemicsound.com/creatorWho Are The Berbers Of North AfricaCogito2019-08-03 | In June 2019, an Algeria banned protestors from waving the Amazigh flag. Stating it was an assault on Algeria’s Arab identity. Why? Because the Amazigh are the indigenous people that have occupied North Africa since...well pretty much forever.
Fuelled by couscous these famous merchant nomads once linked the Mediterranean World with Sub-Saharan Africa. Fought against Roman, Arab, and French empires and now battle for recognition in their own countries. They call themselves Amazigh; we know them as the Berbers of North Africa.

Hinduism, the religion of over a billion people, is the world’s oldest religion and the most confusing one to non-Hindus. It makes billions of people around the world ask, What is Hinduism? Some say it isn’t even a religion, more a way of life. Hindus themselves call it Sanātana Dharma, the eternal tradition. So what is Hinduism, does YOLO apply to them, and who is that elephant god?
Hinduism is the world's oldest active religion. It's the result of the merging of the ancient Indus Valley civilisation and nomads that came into India around 1500BC. Some scholars say it could even go back many more thousands of years.
Hinduism has a long long history. But today we'll be focusing just on the core beliefs of Hindus because I don't have the willpower to animate a 3-hour video.
Hinduism is so diverse, so deep, and means so many different things to different people. Learning even the basics of this fascinating and ancient religion gives us an insight into the worldview of over a billion people.

After 1492, tables everywhere were introduced to corn, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, chocolate, vanilla and many other foods.
Now, over 60% of the food consumed worldwide originated in the Americas. But how did the Native Americans create and manage these incredible crops. What amazing effects did they have, and how did potatoes and bird poop create the modern world. Well, Let’s Find Out.

International Women’s Day is now an official holiday in many countries. On this day feminist demonstrations are held in many countries.
But when did International Women’s Day start, who started it, and did it help destroy a centuries-old Russian monarchy? Well, Let’s Find Out.
