Age of Mythology background soundtrack is top tier for this video 🎉
It's the island isn't it the bull is the island with the horns on the left. Maybe they worshipped moloach and promoted alternative lifestyles and that's why they vanished.
This is going next to the Rome compilation video on my sleep playlist (which is a genuine compliment, I swear)
Thanks!
HOW R THEESE SO
CALLED ANCIENT
GREEKS NOT MENTIONING
THE CONNECTIONS TO
THE GODS.
Y'all should Extra Olympia Kyklos. I feel you'd get a real kick out of it.
I hear that Age of Mythology OST in the background. Well played, sir.
Never heard or seen a more objective narration of what we do know so far,that excludes all the propaganda and the misinformation alongside the half truths and the rest of the crap that were brought to "life" by the geopolitical games that the Germanics play through those short aeons of their existence that they 've managed to move the civilizational focus point from the east to the west.Also done with humor and sarcasm like a good old Hellin dude.
43:55 Hand of Nergal… where have i heard that name before… ah shit… It’s Grandpa Nurgle
