It's ok voodoo is the most recognizable term. The beliefs of the Yoruba people is quite a mouthful too. I like kina love the multitudes of terms and understandings and misunderstandings that come with the territory.
@@jackb1969 it's african. The africans we know call Haitians just mixed Christianity, European paganism, and a few others. But the base is african everything else was tossed in to help disguise and humans being humans.
@@jackb1969 no voodoo is a mistake not real at all. And you comment is very derogatory towards all the Yoruba descended Faith's of the African diaspora
Your videos are both informative and absolutely adorable. I've been a professional historian and academic for a while now, and occasionally I see something on a video that I have to dispute, but it isn't often and even when I do I can still quite possibly be wrong. In short, you make this old curmudgeonly historian proud that you've found a way to bring all sorts of topics and information to the public that would otherwise go unheeded.
I was an artists model in the mid-70s. While I was posing, the teacher was telling a story about some paints he'd had. He'd bought them from a retiring artist. One of them was called Mummy. When he ran out, he looked everywhere for that color. Then he found out it was made with real mummies. Can't get it anymore. This happened to him in the 1950s.
Hey Katrina!! Big fan of yours and Mr David's! Enjoy all your videos, I've binged almost 4 years worth and look at my RU-vid waiting for the next one! The stacked coffins would have to be the most interesting and unusual. Definitely worth a trip to see I think. Keep the vids coming! Will you and David collaborate on a video together?? I think that'd be awesome!!🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
They were probably decapitated skulls of warriors made into a crypt. While the bones were buried in a dug hole or fumes for fertilizer. That's what they use to do so families could light a candle to worship their dead family members. Crypts of these kind were created to save burial land for farm land unless u wlere rich. Most of these soldiers peasant families had no clue who their dead soldier husbands or fathers were anyway. So u lit a candle in their memory & that was it. Whatever bones they could find or take got ground into fertilizer to feed the family for future generations... that's how it was back then.
There is a lot of talk about Slavery and the White Man/ Europeans and the Slave trade but it was there own people that sold them not Whites rounding them up like a cattle drive and bringing them here.. There have been Slaves for over 2000yrs in all different countries not just America, Rome, Greece, Egypt, Heck in Europe they sold their own children into Slavery... I ❤ This channel seem to learn without even knowing you are 👍👍😎✌🍻🖐
I am not buying that a re-examination of the skins on the doorways determined it was cow's skin (aka leather). Human skin and leather do not look anything alike. I think the church put out the results as "cow" to protect previous barbaric behavior by the church, which we all know can be very cruel in their execution of control.
How is digging up old graves that have riches ok but not ok to just going around and digging up any grave sites!?? I don't see any difference! A old grave or new there still grave sites! Rite???
I think everybody should be cremated or its goin to have to come to something like that because the world is already and has been for many years over populated and there just isn't any room for all the graveyards now! I mean their already starting to but bodies on top of each other! But this isn't going to be enough!
