  Hellmouths | Strange Christian Art 15.10.2026 11p

  “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here” - Dante's Inferno, Canto III.Uploaded 01-04-22Across Christian art, the entrance to Hell is depicted as a giant mouth. A gaping set of jaws that devours the souls of the damned. These Hellmouths are everywhere, cropping up in manuscripts, prayer books, and paintings. Even in early theatre productions, where giant mechanical mouths were constructed in medieval town squares. The Christian Hellmouth is a disturbing image and a useful deterrent against wrongdoing. It appeals to a very basic human instinct: don’t get eaten. In this life, or the next. But where did this frightening image come from? Many believe that the Hellmouth has its roots in Norse mythology, With its hellish ideas of man-eating wolves and devouring dragons. It seems like Viking beliefs about the afterlife seemed to have made their way into Saxon Christianity, as seen in examples like the Gosforth Cross, and in parallels between Satan and the dragon Nidhogg. I'm thrilled that so many of you enjoyed my last video, so I am hoping to make this into a little series. Before then, I'll be taking a small Spring break next week, but it shouldn't disrupt my upload schedule. Thank you all for 579k subscribers!H.P.S.

  The Disturbing Paintings of Hieronymus Bosch 15.10.2026 12p

  There is no other artist quite like Hieronymus Bosch. During the European Renaissance, this Dutch painter was conjuring up nightmarish hellscapes, full of grotesque and nonsensical creatures. Particularly in his most famous piece, The Garden of Earthly Delights. Uploaded 26-11-21But why did this artist create such disturbing paintings? Are they the product of a lively imagination, imbued with symbolic religious meaning? Or are they the products of a troubled mind, afflicted by intense and frightening hallucinations? Let’s investigate the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch and get a glimpse at the artist behind his strange and unsettling work.I really enjoyed making this video and learnt lots during the making of it. I hope you all enjoyed it too.

  Catacomb Saints 15.10.2026 15p

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n9zbPmHvJEUploaded 23-05-25In Christianity, saints are considered some of the holiest people to have ever walked the earth. They feature prominently in Christian art—though many of these depictions are disturbing, to say the least.

  Is the Ark of the Covenant REALLY lost? 15.10.2026 37p

  According to the Hebrew Bible, the Ark of the Covenant is an ornate golden box, supposed to have housed the original ten commandments. As well as being a sacred artefact, there are several stories detailing its immense power, used by the Israelites in warfare to destroy enemy armies and flatten entire cities. However, at a certain point in the biblical account it vanishes. Never to be seen, or heard of, again.Uploaded 09-10-21The location of this mythical Hebrew item is one of history's most enduring mysteries. Although many believe that it was destroyed when a Babylonian army besieged Jerusalem in 587 BCE, there’s evidence to suggest that it’s still out there – waiting to be found. Some say that it's hidden in a desert cave, another group says that it's housed in a chapel in Ethiopia, others say that it's held in an underground vault deep below Jerusalem.Is the Ark of the Covenant REALLY lost? I want to investigate this matter carefully, and separate the fact from the fiction.I do hope you enjoy this video. I certainly had fun making it, and learnt a lot in the process (especially after some audio hiccups which are present in the video – sorry!).

  The Patron Saint of the Internet 15.10.2026 14p

  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.

  Easter (But Biblically Accurate) 15.10.2026 18p

  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 14p

  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 12p

  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. Especially my angels vid which is currently hitting 250k views! Thank you all who have subscribed and liked my content, I'm excited to be on this journey with you all.

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

  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 14p

  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. So if you’re a fan of history, biblical studies, or just want to know what might have happened at Babel—this one’s for you!Thank you for 867K subscribers, whoop!H.--------Chapters:00:00 Intro00:43 The Tower of Babel04:51 The Etemenanki08:58 The Babylonian Exile10:38 Final Thoughts11:23 Outro--------👽📺 Listen to my podcast, The Interruption:On Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/7gnUglG...On Apple:https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast...-----Sources and Further Reading:Genesis 11:1-9https://biblehub.com/genesis/11.htmThe Tower of Babel Stele M2 2063https://www.schoyencollection.com/history-collection-introduction/babylonian-history-collection/tower-babel-stele-ms-2063The Tower of Babel Stele Found in Babylon by Olof Pedersenhttps://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/A712F186B2FA1965854911081620467B/S0021088924000044a.pdf/tower_of_babylon_stele_found_in_babylon.pdfTower of Babel - Wikipediahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Babel---------Music and Footage: Intro - Epic of Gilgamesh in Sumerian by Peter Pringle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUcTs...Ghaith by Ali SabahVia Epidemic SoundPandora's Box by Arthur BensonVia Epidemic SoundMin Wahi El-Lami by Ali SabahVia Epidemic SoundSalat Alsabah by Feras CharestanVia Epidemic SoundOutro - Peaceful Ambient Music by CO.AG https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcav...
