Fascinating son of an astronaut. He talks about places and their history.
From “Rare Earth”. ( YouTube / Nebula ) This is part seven in our eight part series, long delayed. I know this took a long time to make, and I’m sure there are many poorly worded sections but it was for whatever reason extremely hard for me to make this video and I’m very happy…
From “Rare Earth”. ( YouTube / Nebula ) I made a mistake towards the end of this video regarding the invasion of Jordan by Syria. I say it was done by Hafez al Assad but it is actually a key moment in the rise of Hafez al Assad when he refused to provide air cover…
From “Rare Earth”. ( YouTube / Nebula ) Had to split the run-up to the civil war into two separate videos. Thanks to everyone who is sticking it out through this incredible long season. I hope it’ll be worth it in the end! Your support keeps us going: https://www.patreon.com/rareearth and https://ko-fi.com/rareearth Follow our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rareinsta/…
From “Rare Earth”. ( YouTube / Nebula ) Sorry for the wait I had to move to Japan real quick but I’m back. I’ve even got next week’s episode about the rise of Israel written already, so hopefully I can actually finish this season before I have to move somewhere else… As I’m sure this…
From “Rare Earth”. ( YouTube / Nebula ) Donate to the Lebanese red cross please: https://www.redcross.org.lb/ —- This one felt like pulling off a bandaid to create. Hope you find some value in it on your end! As always – love from Kata and myself – and thanks for watching. Your support keeps us going:…
From “Rare Earth”. ( YouTube / Nebula ) Donate to the Lebanese red cross please: https://www.redcross.org.lb/ —- I hope you enjoy this opinionated superficial overview of a topic I can only suspect I won’t be the one to change your mind about. But divinely inspired or not, please bear with me as I try to…
From “Rare Earth”. ( YouTube / Nebula ) I’m a huge fan of my new white sweater but I noticed after filming this I had little titties sticking out but never fear dear viewer I have since dieted and my titties are already halved. Also, please enjoy the first in our eight(ish) part series on…
From “Rare Earth”. ( YouTube / Nebula ) Before I went to Lebanon I knew nothing about the Cedars of God. Now I bring them up with almost zero prompting. They’re so cool. They helped fill so many gaps in my head about the how and why of generic history. It’s crazy that we don’t…
From “Rare Earth”. ( YouTube / Nebula ) Because I said this off the top of my head I made a few mistakes: 1. It was more like 35 people gawking, not 65 2. I keep calling them the CID for some reason when I really mean the ISF (Internal Security Forces) Other than that,…
From “Rare Earth”. ( YouTube / Nebula ) We didn’t mean to take such a long break but a few weeks ago we got bad medical news about our dog and now we’re sort of trying to make his exit as good as possible. Then when we started trying to get back into the swing…
From “Rare Earth”. ( YouTube / Nebula ) Tall tales always seem to get taller, but their purpose often stays the same. The myth of Frangokastello might be little more than morning dew, but to the people of southwestern Crete – it is anything but a mirage. One more from Crete and then I think…
From “Rare Earth”. ( YouTube / Nebula ) To be clear, all of this is merely my opinion. How could I possibly know the evolution of a myth thousands of years ago? But that said, some myths have meanings, like false memories of a real event. And at least as I see it, the meaning…
From “Rare Earth”. ( YouTube / Nebula ) We did not plan to make this video first. But the cave turned out to be so amazing that it deserved one. This is the story of the Asphendou cave of Crete and how we completed an RPG quest. Your support keeps us going: https://www.patreon.com/rareearth and https://ko-fi.com/rareearth…
From “Rare Earth”. ( YouTube / Nebula ) I suppose I don’t have much to say in the description. The distant past is a confusing place with far more fog than visibility. But it’s fun to think about, and even more fun to watch it change. So what do you think – did Crete have…
From “Rare Earth”. ( YouTube / Nebula ) Goodbye Micronesia, hello Mediterranean. The next few episodes are set in Crete, Greece – an island absolutely littered in stray cats. And so we thought a good way to cleanse the new season palate would be a very stupid episode about the fickleness of fame, and all…
