Thank you for all your work. I didn't know of the Ankh symbol was so rich in history and that so many cultures used it.

Do a vid on whether or not black metal fashion is goth fashion, from my perspective, it is.

Thank you for the video I know this will help people out in the future. For me personally I never wore Ankh's before but I can appreciate them though & in what they stand for. I read a lot on the ancient Egyptian culture the architecture, carvings & art it's very nice but the only figure I really took any interest in was Anubis. Now when it comes to crosses The Irish Cross is by far my favorite

You're welcome. And thank you for being here. As per the Irish Cross, I do know about it but I can't say I know a lot about it. Maybe this is a sign for me to look it up.

@-RONNIE Месяц назад

@@kjrasa There are a lot of different versions people made but the basis is still the same. The oldest Irish Cross ever is still up in Donegal Ireland

I am a HUGE Neil Gaiman fan and I am also a goth, I love the character Death, she's beautiful. Sadly, I noticed you spelled Neil Gaimans name wrong. I just wanted to inform you about this, have a great day! ^^

Ah...how did I not notice that? Thank you for pointing that out. Have a great day as well!
