  The Patron Saint of the Internet 15.10.2026 14m

  St. Isidore of Seville has the marvellous (albeit unofficial) title of 'Patron Saint of the Internet' - acting as God's heavenly advocate of the digital world. However, this may all change depending on whether the recently beatufied Carlo Acutis gets canonised. If so, the teenager may become the official Patron Saint of the Internet.Uploaded 18-07-21In this video, we'll explore the unusual lives and afterlives of Saint Isidore and Carlo Acutis, but also take a look at some other wacky and obscure patron saints. Like St. Drogo, patron saint of ugly people and coffee. Wow, after my most recent upload the channel has been on the upward, and now is at the lofty heights of 330k subscribers. Thank you all, all this continues to astound me. To celebrate, I intend to do a Q and A video.

  So, You're Afraid of Biblical Angels 15.10.2026 16m

  Welcome to a survival guide to biblically accurate angels. Biblically accurate angels aren't always the gentle, harp-wielding beings you might expect.

You're afraid, and I don't blame you.Uploaded 25-07-25In this instructional survival guide, we walk you through 4 essential steps for surviving an encounter with a Biblical angel, including the cherubim, seraphim, and ophanim. Whether you're facing a divine vision, preparing for the apocalypse, or just want to know what to do when confronted by a multidimensional messenger of God, this video has you covered.Five years ago, I released a video that would change the trajectory of the channel forever… what a journey it’s been!

  The Curious Origins of Popular Sayings 15.10.2026 15m

  We use expressions and idioms in everyday conversation. But have you ever wondered where they come from? For example, why shouldn’t we cry over spilt milk? And who’s going around killing two birds with one stone, or putting cats into bags? Uploaded 22-10-21In English in particular, many of our most popular sayings have these interesting and obscure origins. Some of which are pretty dark: did you know that the phrase “saved by the bell” may have arisen from fears of being buried alive?In this video, we'll explore the strange origins of these popular sayings:- Don’t cry over spilt milk- An apple a day keeps the doctor away- Kill Two birds with one stone- The feather/straw that broke the horse's/camel’s back- An eye for an eye- Speak of the Devil- Saved by the bell- Bite the BulletBut there are so many more out there, so write down below some sayings that you would like to see explored.

  Easter (But Biblically Accurate) 15.10.2026 18m

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc4NvbuQHy8 Uploaded 16-04-25What really happened on the first Easter? And where do Easter Eggs, chocolate and the Easter Bunny come from? Let's explore the origins of Easter, beginning with the original Easter story as told in the Bible. In Part I, we'll go through the biblical story and dive into hidden details in the Gospel accounts that are often overlooked or forgotten (like the naked fugitive in Mark 14:51-52). In Part II, we'll follow the evolution of Easter through history — from early Christian traditions to pagan spring festivals, to the modern holiday we know today. It's time to explore Easter's biggest questions! Helpful PSA. Due to storytelling thoughts and video length constraints, I haven't included all the details of the biblical story in the video (like the denial of Peter!). It is a summary after all, but I still hope you enjoy! Thank you for 877K subscribers.

  The Gospel of Jesus' Wife 15.10.2026 14m

  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 Jesus had a wife.Uploaded 12-08-22It had the potential to rewrite everything we knew about the life of Jesus. If it was genuine of course. And that’s where things get a little complicated. You see, (*spoilers*) the Gospel of Jesus' Wife was a hoax, a forgery, a fake. From the odd handwriting to lifting text from the gospel of Thomas, it was quickly deemed fraudulent. Despite this, it was a catalyst for some exciting conversations. For example, how much do we really know about the life of Jesus? All we have are the New Testament texts, and a few other sources, but they only really cover the final few years of his life. Ultimately, we know very little about Jesus as a historical figure. So for now, the mystery of whether he had a wife is ongoing.I hope you enjoy this one. It's such a fascinating topic (in my humble opinion). Thank you all for 671k subscribers.

  Past Predictions of the Future Every Decade 15.10.2026 12m

  No one predicted that 2020 would turn out how it did. Wrong or right, speculating the future seems to be one of humanity's greatest pastimes. This video explores predictions of the future throughout the 20th century. From winged gliders, to flying cars and all the way up to space travel. Inevitably, this video isn't a comprehensive account of EVERY prediction ever made. But I hope to have sampled some predictions/speculations and visions over the years that have come to be representative of whichever decade that they emerged in. Oh, and in case you're wondering, I haven't included predictions in the 30s and 40s. Lots of reasons (time/repetitive/WW2), but may return to them in a dedicated future vid. Uploaded 08-09-20Quick note: my apologies for the few audio *pops* in the video. I held the microphone in the wrong positions and only realised in post. Always learning. Let me know what I can do to improve in my videos, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Finally, I'm astounded by the amount of traction my channel has gotten recently.

  How Tall was Goliath? (feat. Toasters) 15.10.2026 16m

  The story of David and Goliath is one of the most iconic scenes in the Bible. Armed with nothing but a sling, the young shepherd boy takes down the fearsome Philistine giant. Uploaded 12-09-21Although it’s a beloved and popular tale, there’s one unusual problem with it: and that’s Goliath’s height: no one can quite agree on his size. In this video, let’s explore the height of the biblical giant Goliath. Delving into everything from ancient forms of measurement, growth conditions like gigantism, and even a few biblical typos for good measure. As we ask the question: How tall was Goliath?I had lots of fun making this one, and put many hours into the animation. I hope you enjoy. I'm off for a nap! Oh, and thank you all for 387k subscribers.

  The Tower of Babel (But Biblically Accurate) 14.10.2026 14m

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9sTr6n0MFcUploaded 28-03-25What REALLY happened at Babel? The Tower of Babel is one of the most famous stories in the Bible—where God confuses the universal human language and scatters the people across the earth. But where did the Tower of Babel come from? In this "biblically accurate" guide, I’ll dive into Old Testament history to explore the true origins of the Tower of Babel. We’ll look at how this story may have been inspired by the Babylonian ziggurat, Etemenanki, a massive structure that stood at the heart of ancient Mesopotamia.Helpful PSA: I use the term “biblically accurate” with caution. Of course, interpretations vary, and the term can be a bit loaded depending on your background or beliefs. This video isn’t about pushing a particular theological view—rather, I pride myself on research, historical context, and digging into the ancient world behind the text.

  An Artificial Intelligence Made This Painting 14.10.2026 11m

  Let's explore the emerging world of artificial intellengence (A.I) and creativity and what it means about humanity. From paintings, to music, and finally poetry, machines epic with deep learning technology have been able to produce wonderful, albeit in some cases a bit unpolished, works of art. Uploaded 02-10-20Perhaps though, it's too early to say that these A.Is are creating original works themselves, credit is owned to the genius developers behind them. Developers such as the Paris collective 'Obvious', Tom White, Mario Klingemann, Sougwen Chung and Refik Anadol. As well as musical endeavours including the robotic composer AIVA.13.5k subscribers.

  The Origins of the Seven Deadly Sins 14.10.2026 11m

  Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy and Pride. Together they make up the Seven Deadly Sins. But where do they come from, what are there origins?Uploaded 03-01-21In this video, we'll explore the origin and history of the Seven Deadly Sins ( sometimes also known as the Seven Cardinal Sins or Vices), as well as the concept of sin at large. You may be surprise to learn that they do not come from the Bible - well, not as a strict list as we now have it. They may have come from an Egyptian monk, known as Evagrius of Pontus and taken up by Pope Gregory I. But they certainly gained traction after Dante's Divine Comedy, notably Inferno and Purgatorio.I really hope you enjoy watching this video. with another algorithm spike, things have been really stirring on the channel lately, so welcome all new subscribers.

  The Oldest (Known) Song of All Time 14.10.2026 6m

  The Hurrian Hymn is History's first Song. Well, the oldest known song. If we're really splitting hairs: the earliest written song that can be reconstructed. We're not even sure what the song even sounds like, but each attempt to decode has its own value. All we are sure about is that the Hurrian Hymn is really, really ancient and nothing is as clear as it seems.Uploaded 14-08-20*Note that the Hymn was not written in 1600BCE (my mistake), but probably around 1400BCE. Plus, the image I use of the goddess Nikkal is actually the goddess Asherah. There were no pictures of Nikkal, she's a bit too obscure it seems.Okay, my errors out the way, I hope you enjoy this video.

  Survival Guide to the Biblical Apocalypse 14.10.2026 27m

  The Book of Revelation is undoubtably the strangest book in the whole Bible. An Apocalyptic vision containing earthquakes, plagues, and a few of multi-eyed 'Bible Accurate Angels' for good measure. The Biblical Apocalypse may be something you've heard of, but may not know what is supposed to take place. For example, where does the number 666 come from? and what is Armageddon?Uploaded 10-07-21If you're looking to learn more about the biblical apocalypse, then you're in the right place. I have crafted together this handy introductory video taking a secular-minded overview of the Book of Revelation. Now, although I have entitled this video as a survival guide, actual survival tips may be lacking. That said, knowing what to expect may help in an actual apocalypse. Or not...After a bit of a pause in my upload schedule to finish of university work, I'm glad to say that I've graduated! Thank you all for your patience, more videos on the way.

  The Cheerful Skeleton Paradox 14.10.2026 13m

  Check out my Patreon! patreon.com/hochelagaUploaded 07-08-25“Be Cheerful, Enjoy Your Life” — that’s the phrase written above a smiling skeleton in the famous Hatay mosaic. But is that really what it says? Spoiler: probably not.This piece of ancient Roman art is part of a long tradition of memento mori — Latin for “remember that you will die.” Found on everything from Roman mosaics to silver cups, these images weren’t just morbid. They were reminders to embrace life, because you never know what fate has in store.Thank you for 929K subscribers!H.------------CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction00:57 The Mosaic Decoded04:32 Memento Mori07:25 Danse Macabre09:25 Final Thoughts10:23 Outro------------SOURCES and FURTHER READINGThe Sundial and Convivium Scene on the Mosaic from the Rescue Excavation in a Late Antique House of Antioch.

  Countries Mentioned in the Bible 14.10.2026 20m

  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!Uploaded 02-02-23These 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. When used as a historical document, the Bible is a snapshot in time into the surprising world of early trade. Finding real-world locations in the Bible reveals how connected the ancient world was. Is your country there? If not, should your country be on there? I’d be curious to hear whether the eastern land of Sinim mentioned in Isaiah 49:12, could be a reference to China.A few notes about the map. When the Bible was written, "countries" as we know them today didn’t even exist. Plus, there’s no one version of it that all Christians can agree on (although that would be nice). I am using the NRSV. What's more, I have taken Scythia to mean Bulgaria and Romania (as in Scythia Minor). I ought to have included Ukraine into this mix too but hey, Scythia has always been notoriously difficult to define! Also, Arabic not Aramaic.I hope you enjoyed this video, I enjoyed making it. I have an exciting personal milestone this end – I'll be moving into full-time employment! Don't worry, I won't disappear entirely but I will, unfortunately, be uploading less frequently.

  The Book of Job: The Bible's Most UNFAIR Story? 14.10.2026 24m

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMwdx0gM-l0Uploaded 20-08-25Of all the books in the Bible, the Book of Job has a reputation for being the most unfair—It’s a story in which God ruins the life of an innocent man, just to win an argument with Satan. Now, I use the word “unfair” with caution, because I also believe this story is a masterpiece—and in this video, I’m going to show you why.I hope you enjoy this one!
