There seems to be a constant theme of "natives talked about this wacky stuff and scientists didn't believe them until they later accidentally found evidence

I love this channel's style. No intro. No adds. No BS. Straight to the point.

The legend of the green man is actually really sad, imagine getting your face so destroyed that you only take walks at night because of cruelness. 😢

I don't comment on many videos. But I have to say I appreciate that within half a second of starting the video you are already into the content. No intro no splash graphic, no padding, no treating the viewer like an idiot.

Interesting fact. When the spanish conquistadors first came to South America they didn't know the natives couldn't grow beards. So they saw these clean faced guys and thought they were women with bows. Thinking they found the missing Amazon tribes they named the forest after the Amazon warriors.

Another interesting thing about the sperm whales and giant squids is that the giant squid has the largest eye on the planet by like double. The reason this deep sea dweller needs those big eyes in the darkness of the deep ocean is because sperm whales hunt giant squid, but they also hunt down where there is bioluminescent life as well. So the giant squids eyes are so big because they watch for the blinking on of biolumincence as the whales bump into the creatures. Like a black ghost slinking through the night, a subtle outline of sparkling blue races toward you, hunting you, that is the life of the giant squid. Pretty cool

Let's get right into it!

I like this channel because he does “get right into it.” No goofy introduction, music, just straight to facts!

YouTube gate keeping this for a couple minutes is actually insane😔🙏🏽

Ray Robinson (Charlie no-face) actually lived in a small town about 30 miles outside Pittsburgh called Beaver Falls. My dad grew up there. Ray would let young people party on his farm in exchange for them getting groceries, beer, cigarettes, etc for him (this was in the 1970s).
   My mom told me how nervous she was the first time she was with dad and they picked Ray up during a walk  and dropped him off at his place.

I live near Woolpit. The children are immortalised on the village sign. Nice little village and worth a visit if you're ever in Suffolk in the East of England.

that's actually insane that we have legends thousands of years old that kept their ties to their origins through probably different languages they were told in and so many retellings

I'm Flemish. And yeah to English speakers we probably sound like we emerged from a potato field

How refreshing! No long winded buildups or "before we start, be sure to like and subscribe". Just right to the point! Interesting stuff!

5:08 - I worked with a lady from Newfoundland. She said she grew up hearing stories from the sailors of them witnessing battles between sperm whales and giant squid. Most people laughed and said it was sailor stories. But it was proven true.

My guess is that in ancient times. At least once, a giant squid mistook a large wooden ship as a sperm whale and attacked it.

3:17 nah, that's just Mr. Burns

The Wendigo is also thought to be an anthropomorphic warning not to go too far North. Bottom line, humans can't live too far north without animal support, and you are basically living on a knife's edge at all times. The local Native Americans who believed it were generally those who lived right on the edge of where you can comfortably live year round.

context on the Amazons, they were Scythians; nomadic steppe tribes in which the warriors were mainly men, but unlike other societies at the time had a higher tolerance for allowing women to be warriors as well. This likely wasn't out of some progressive ideology, but because they were nomads, and their men often left camp to raid other tribes and civilizations, meaning it was practical to train their women in the arts of horseback warfare simply to make their own tribes less likely to be successfully counterraided. Not to mention being on horseback evens out the battlefield somewhat as compared to heavy infantry.
