The Myth of Time

Time is a key feature in mythology. From the Mayan calendar charting the mythic age of creation, to the titan Chronos who embodies the very concept of time itself. In this video, I explore how early human cultures understood time, and how the first civilisations created methods of communicating this phenomenon. A phenomenon that even today we know frighteningly little about. Particularly through ancient calendars, which are able to tell us a lot about how time was thought of. I hope you enjoy this one, I tried something a bit different here to spice it up. More Strange Christian Art is on the way, and hopefully with a shorter turnaround. The channel recently passed 600,000, amazing! Thank you all so much.
