After years of abuse and torture in a circus in Hawaii, this poor elephant named Tyke managed to escape, injuring the staff on his way out. The police then shot him 86 times, which eventually killed him. The sad look in his eyes tells a thousand stories.
@heroic_ideal I know you mostly focus on Europe. But do you think you might do a video on Japanese Bushido at some point in the future? It bears many parallels to the warrior ethos of Germanic culture and the code of chivalry
@heroic_ideal Arthurian legends often represent a blending of traditional pagan and christian values. Beowulf also has this to an extent. And the Chivalric code was a product of that also
@heroic_ideal Early Christianity was also sparse and there existed alternative interpretations like with the Marcionites, Cathars, Arians, later Gnostics etc who had radically different views that were quashed by the Catholics
@heroic_ideal There were also attempts in Northern Europe at syncretism like with Celtic Christianity, which was more open to polytheism and the traditional customs/values. But it was gradually replaced by Roman Catholicism after 664
@Dylanjude12@OikosAiakidwn@BornLik23266 Pre-Christian. Specifically Norse/Germanic, Celtic and Greek/Roman polytheism or "paganism". So around 2000+ years ago
