I’ll add that to the list! An easy deep dive into a common term with surprising depth 😎👌

There’s a healthy amount of music from Age of Mythology, the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and some from the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Basically games from my childhood. I enjoy a hint of nostalgia 👌

Well I hope this next year continues to feed that hunger and no worries about the cake I appreciate the gesture. One of these days I’ll remove the binding curse that keeps this helmet stuck on my head and enjoy some scrumptious pastries 😋

Thanks! The song is His Theme from Undertale 👌

Glad you enjoyed it! 😎

Would you be able to provide the links for those sources? Honestly, this comment is just rude. Futile Facts never once claimed that all the information he provided was absolute truth. I believe this guy gathers the information that's accessible, processes it and puts it together. Why attack somebody's hard work?

Wow, thanks for taking the time to share such detailed feedback! You’ve raised some excellent points about the importance of original sources and the complexity of tracing a tradition like Samhain. I’ve said before in my videos that I’m a history enjoyer, and I avoid calling myself an expert. The channel is founded on the concept of sharing random information I learn in a simple cartoon enhanced way to encourage viewers to find out more on their own. I can definitely spend more time during the research stage of my videos and once I get more of a schedule for uploads I plan to increase the quality of the information as well. This video was a brief overview of Halloween history I also used as an opportunity to celebrate a milestone for the channel. I hope this helps you understand the type of content you see hereafter. Thanks again, and I hope you’ll enjoy future videos as we continue to grow!

@Homamanya The Two Babylons: Or The Papal Worship Proved to be the Worship of Nimrod and His Wife by Alexander Hislop is the source of this idea that Halloween is pagan. And it's been repeated and repurposed since then to the point that people think that it's common knowledge. What ancient sources do we have about Samhain? The answer is none. The first accounts of it are from the middle ages where it is mentioned in passing as a harvest festival in stories like the Tochmarc Emire, but none of these sources give any information about how the holiday was celebrated or what beliefs were associated with it. The moving of All Saints' Day to November 1 was at first a local tradition in the city of Rome in the early medieval period because of the dedication of a church to all the saints. (There's much more to that story, and you should look it up.) The festival gradually spread to other parts of western Europe throughout the medieval period. It didn't reach Gaelic-speaking Christians until centuries later, and was not replacing what was at that point a holiday that we have no indication from any period sources was still being practiced. To claim a Celtic pagan origin would require positive evidence, but there are no primary sources to support that. There aren't any primary sources at all. The only accounts of any version of Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Cornish, Manx, Breton, or other Celtic mythology all come from several centuries after it has ceased to be practiced, and they are myths, not treatises on the beliefs and practices of any group that spoke any member of the Celtic language family. We know what the Greeks and Romans believed and how they practiced their religions. They wrote it down. The Irish and other Celtic speaking tribes did not.

If you are going to correct someone it would be more effective if you put some care and taking a step back from reactively trying to point out where people mess up

Did it make sense? None of it is true. He doesn't cite his sources, and it contradicts what serious religious studies scholars and historians say.

@@Chris-io4iz if its fabricated maybe thats why it made sense lol

Absolutely. There is a lot of bias towards Christianity and it can easily ruffle some feathers. I like to keep a neutral approach and just focus on the simple history or raw beliefs of the matter, but people are people 🤷‍♂️

​@FutileFacts4u except that you didn't focus on the history, and this contradicts what scholars in the fields of religious studies and history say. You got these "facts" from popular internet sources that didn't check to see that they were repeating 18th Century anti-Catholic propaganda. You really need to do some research before publishing things that aren't true.

​@@Chris-io4iz can you provide the sources you are talking about?

​@@FutileFacts4u that's all anyone can ask you to do good job keep up the good content

Cheers! 🍻

Wouldn’t be surprised if that was part of the reason they moved to coined currency instead 😅

Indeed 😈

It’s a favorite of mine too 😎

All good, I'm more hoping those who see this trailer check out the full video on the 30th 🤞

Seem to be the eternal vices of our kind 🤷‍♂️

I'll add it to the queue! ✍

You’re absolutely right, Ukraine’s connection to Byzantium and the Julian calendar is deeply rooted. My remark was meant to highlight the evolving relationship between cultural practices in the modern context and it definitely came off wrong. I’ll make sure to frame it better if it comes up in the future, thanks for the correction! 🙏

@@FutileFacts4u Appreciated, much enjoying the fun content otherwise 👍

yes
