  • I’d like to add to the list a few entries on history and physics channels:

    -The Histocrat: in depth video essays regarding the history of many neolithic to bronze age cultures around the world as well as the history of several mythological creatures.

    -Fall of Civilizations: podcast describing a detailed picture of many ancient cultures around the world, from their beginings to their golden ages to their fall.

    -North02: EXTREMELY detailed videos (sometimes bordering on documentaries) about many stone age cultures and topics, I loved his essay on neanderthals and just how long it was.

    -Trey the Explainer: great YouTube channel talking about many topics that often dive into history. I recommend watching his video on the first joke in history.

    -Angela Collier: AMAZING channel regarding physics with the great Angela Collier, if I remember correctly she has a PhD and has explained many physics topics history of physics and physics as an academic field.

    -PBS SpaceTime: I think this one is WAY more recognized but in case it is not, this channel is physics oriented and also provided very detailed explanations of many topics of the field.







  • I remember reading or listening to a short story where the author described what would’ve happened if Elrond had pushed Isildur into the fire in order to destroy the ring. If I remember correctly Elrond emerges from mount doom and eventually communicates what happened at the peak and his action of killing Isildur in order to destroy the ring, this ends up angering the humans who would later start a war with the elves in order to avenge the death of Isildur. This leads to massive casualties on both the human and elven side but the war abruptly stops as a massive rain suddenly appears and lasts for many many days, flooding the world and destroying it. Finally, it is revealed that the rain was caused by the tears of Illuvatar being shed over the terrible slaying of his children amongst themselves.



  • Damn, looking at the comments here I realize sometimes I DO have more knowledge on some topics than other people. If you guys don’t know that’s a bronze sword, bronze is a metal that’s well known due to its corruption-resistant properties. When bronze develops that green patina you see on the sword it also creates a sort of protective layer that shields the rest of the metal from oxygen and prevents it from rusting away.

    Quick note meant to say corrosion not corruption lmao.
