I'm a History major and used to be a writer for Watchmojo before they ran out of ideas and decided to try making vids of my own. I've written scripts, breaking news, and sports, but my passion has always been history since it molds the present and it's important for us to acknowledge we do not live in a vacuum.

Bes-image rattle, 3rd Intermediate Period (1070 to 664 BC)
"This Bes-image represents the beneficent Egyptian domestic god with his typical leonine face, dwarf body, and tail. Holes at the top of his feather crown and in his ears held rattling elements. The god extends a dom nut to a baby in his arms with Bes-like features. Monkeys are seated around his legs and alongside his crown. Behind his feathers is the incised figure of a bound oryx" (Met Museum)
New video out tomorrow on the Third Intermediate Period! A period that often gets overlooked, but as always we will uncover as much as we can!

Hey everyone! I've heard a lot of creators have been having problems recently with huge drops in views. It could be a problem with Restricted Mode being on for some viewers. I've tested it by turning it on and many of my videos appear non-existent (including the latest on the New Kingdom). I don't know what restricted many of my videos, maybe some Modern history videos had touched on political issues or some videos contain an ancient or medieval breast, so the entire video disappears for Restricted Mode users.
If any other creators have noticed this let me know!
Next video on the Third Intermediate will be out next week! (out now for Members)
