Dante's Inferno: A Visitor’s Guide to Hell

Welcome to the depths of the underworld! In this video, I take you on an in-depth journey through Dante’s Inferno, and a breakdown of all nine circles of Hell, from Limbo to Treachery. The first part of The Divine Comedy, written by Dante Alighieri in the 14th century, this legendary epic poem is one of the most vivid and detailed depictions of Hell in literary history, shaping our modern imagination of eternal punishment.
Helpful PSA: I've had to gloss over finer story beats within this video, so I have included a link to Inferno below!
Wow, it’s been a while! Long-time viewers of the channel may have gathered I’ve been on a hiatus. During that time, I’ve been exploring new paths in my career and my personal life, and so wanted to step away from videos gave me the space to explore those paths (it's one hell of a tale!). Many of you left kind comments while I was away, and it inspired me to create this video, something I’ve long wanted to make. I hope you enjoy this one, thank you for 837K subscribers.

Countries Mentioned in the Bible

Переглядів 1,4 млнРік тому

Ever wondered which countries are actually referenced in the Bible? In this video, I'll explore just that, and create a neat new "Bible Accurate" map in the process! These biblical lands stretch over a massive geographical area. From the rich African Kingdoms of Kush to the exotic maritime ports of ancient Ophir, the biblical writers knew of regions that lay on the periphery of the known world....

Making a Deal with the Devil: Pros & Cons

Переглядів 578 тис.2 роки тому

Throughout history, there are many curious tales of people who gain unimaginable wealth and talent under suspicious circumstances. If the legends are to be believed, the price tag is a lifetime of loyalty and servitude to the Devil. But when it comes to selling your soul for earthly gain, there’s a lot you ought to think about. I’d hate for you to enter a diabolical contact uninformed, so I hav...

Art of the Unconscious Mind

Переглядів 266 тис.2 роки тому

This video is about the origins of surreal art, and the many attempts to depict the unconscious mind. From apocalyptic dream art to impossible landscapes, fantastical painting has had a long history. As we explore the history of surreal art and proto-surrealism, we’ll see how Aboriginal Australians depicted the dreamtime, how renaissance illusionists like Arcimboldo tricked our minds into seein...

Once Upon an Apocryphal Christmas...

Переглядів 280 тис.2 роки тому

Christmas in the Apocryphal Gospels is strange. In this video, we’ll explore the festive stories and Christian writings that didn’t make it into the Bible. After all, the Christmas story in the Bible is very brief, so delving into these unofficial texts reveals colourful extra details. Like dragons, a walking/talking baby-Jesus, and an obedient tree giving Mary its fruit. Ever heard of the Infa...

God's Biblical Kill Count Explained

Переглядів 615 тис.2 роки тому

It’s no secret that the God of the Bible has a dark side. Throughout the Old Testament, God is responsible for a slew of natural disasters: from erasing life on Earth in an apocalyptic to unleashing devastating plagues of biblical proportions. Like it or not, God has a death toll. Has anyone gone through the Bible and counted it? Combing through the Bible and calculating God’s kill count culmin...

Introducing… THE INTERRUPTION

Переглядів 157 тис.2 роки тому

The Southern Television Interruption of 1977 was a bizarre incident where the mysterious voice of "Vrillon from the Ashtar Command" broke onto an English television station. For forty-five years, it has remained unsolved. But I have made a number of major breakthroughs... I am now ready to make my research public, and it's going to take the form of a podcast. The first two episodes of The Inter...

Psychedelics in Christian Art

Переглядів 269 тис.2 роки тому

For many years now, people have noticed psychedelic mushrooms throughout religious art. Often in scenes from the Bible. In fact, across medieval artworks, you’ll seem to find these “mushrooms” everywhere. Like the Plaincourault fresco, that 12th-century wall painting of the Garden of Eden. It’s a bizarre image, the tree of knowledge looks like a giant fungus. Then there are the visions of Hilde...

A to Z of Biblical Demons

Переглядів 840 тис.2 роки тому

You’ll be familiar with Bible-accurate angels, but Bible-accurate demons is a murky subject. What are demons actually like in the Bible? Where does Satan really come from? It’s a ragtag bunch, but I’m here to help - with an A to Z of biblical demons. Welcome to the realm of evil spirits, fallen angels, and ancient gods. Where the boundaries of good and evil are not as clear cut as you’d expect....

The Quest To Become A Freemason

Переглядів 611 тис.2 роки тому

The Freemasons are a secretive organisation cloaked in mystery. To some, they are a cult or a dark brotherhood behind world events. To others, they are misunderstood, and far less mysterious than conspiracy theories would have us believe. What do we really know about them? There's only one way to find out: to try to join them. From visiting the Grand Lodge in London to learning the Rituals and ...

The Gospel of Jesus' Wife

What if Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene, what if they have descendants that live amongst us? This idea forms the basis of the Da Vinci Code, and is a central theme of the gnostic gospels. But it’s not just the realm of fiction or conspiracy. You see, there’s an ancient Christian text that seems to confirm this theory. It’s a tiny fragment of papyrus with an astonishing revelation - that Jes...

The Museum of Lost Souls

The little museum of purgatory lies in the heart of Rome. It's full of ghostly artefacts, reported to be messages from beyond the grave: from dark handprints seared onto wood, to phantom markings etched in prayer books. It has to be one of the most disturbing museums around, but why does exist, what’s it for? And how do we know that any of these objects are indeed genuine? Let's investigate the...

The Little Book of Cosmic Horrors

The Augsburg Book of Miracles (aka. The Little Book of Cosmic Horrors) is a classic example of strange Christian art. It's full of visions of the Apocalypse, and God's disturbing signs throughout history. It even includes the Old Testament's weirdest scene, the vision of Ezekiel, depicting a "living creature" and an Ophanim (aka. Bible Accurate Angels). In this video, let's explore this bizarre...

The Myth of Time

Time is a key feature in mythology. From the Mayan calendar charting the mythic age of creation, to the titan Chronos who embodies the very concept of time itself. In this video, I explore how early human cultures understood time, and how the first civilisations created methods of communicating this phenomenon. A phenomenon that even today we know frighteningly little about. Particularly throug...
