What is the Leviathan? and What can it tell us about Ancient Religions? 

TREY the Explainer I love the video I’d love to share my thoughts with you, in your video you said regardless of country or religion everyone hates snakes but in southern america the snake is a symbol of luck and the Aztecs top god was a serpent

TREY the Explainer I like the Profile on Andrewsarchus Can you do Gigantopethicus or maybe Megatherium

TREY the Explainer I’ve been binging your videos since I found your channel keep up the good work

Leviathan is a metaphor for Satan, involving allot of the same descriptions, and includes breathing fire as one of it's ability's.

And that is why it talk about how it is king over all who are proud; and how it talks about how God has power over it.

It’s possible that the Milky Way could be what that image is depicting, there’s a point in it that looks like a snake head eating its tail.

Agreed, wise sir

It was a demon amd every bit of terrifying as God described it, it was also the demonic spirit of envy.

Its a metaphor

I know, it gives me chills to think that tens of thousands years ago, someone told the proto-story and it's still going strong. So much more amazing than nonsense about the Dino time line.

The Bible mentions truth, we shouldn't compare it to forgeries and myths. In the crowd of story's it looks no different but the history of the Jews is real and Christianity wouldn't exist without Christ. Jesus was witnessed to be the promised Messiah, the savior of the world.

@@specilegg Just because a document says it's true doesn't mean it is. The earliest known manuscripts of the bible were written hundreds of years after the events they claim to document; plenty of time for mythical elements to be added even if they are somewhat based on stuff that actually happened. Studying these ancient texts can yield fascinating insights into the culture they came from, but only if you're willing to set aside unquestioned religious dogma and approach them just like you would a Norse saga or Chinese legend. I sincerely hope you find the strength to break free of your mental shackles. There's a vast ocean of knowledge out there to explore, but only if you're curious enough to look. (:

@@n.e.v.e.r the dates are fabricated by paid "biblical scholars" that are really propaganda artists. The Bible had to be written before 70 Ad when the temple had not been destroyed and Jesus talked about it's destruction. In the gospel of John it mentions that the disciple that leaned on Jesus's breast at the last supper was the one who wrote the gospel. The Bible is in eye witness Jesus.

Love this.

The giant serpent story in Hinduism, however, is much less pompous. A teenage Krishna, who is an avatar of the god Vishnu (that guy leaves heaven and descends to the earth, incarnating as a human whenever evil overpowers the good) had calmed down a five headed snake that was swimming in the Ganges and terrorising people, by standing on its head and playing a flute.

Hell yeah the rainbow serpent!! What a funky guy.

@@religionoffreedom I dont see it man, can you elaborate? And how should they have seen that, did they build a rocket and look from above?

@@Ashleekaa joe rogan would like to have a word with you

Another thing with this is that rivers flooding were generally seen as good (with influence of civilizations like mesopotamia and ancient egypt), since they provided better farmland. Adding to this, the name of the place the israelites lived in egypt during the old testament was "Goshen" meaning "flooded land".

@in777sight Every generation has had their theory on various prophecies and doomsdays. And yet the world goes on. Also if Ethiopia agrees to fill their reservoir over 7-10 years instead of just 3, Egypt won't be nearly as impacted by it and probably won't go to war.

Interesting

There is also the fact that the audience of the day would have already been familiar with the story. It would make sense to the authors of the time to not need to go into detail about everything. The way I see it we need to not look at this to the lens of our modern understanding of how the world works. What we're reading in these myths is the general consensus of how our ancestors thought the world worked. It makes sense you're going to find overlap.

Reminds me how in the book of Numbers they quote a book called 'the book of the wars of The Lord' when describing the borders of a place they travelled through, and its done so casually. And later after a battle The Lord commands Moses to write of the battle in 'the book', which is not specified, some scholars think that God was reffering to this book of the wars of The Lord. Theres other books that ocasionally get mentioned, quoted or refferenced and we dont come back to them, which makes sense if the writers knew that their audience was already familiar with it, meanwhile nowadays its lost so we are left to wonder.

@@levlowell Like how we gloss over the death of Uncle Ben or the Waynes now.

It's called Snake Detection Theory. Almost every primates (including human) have this certain fear of snake.

There is a goddess in Hinduism, the snake goddess, who is worshipped in order to keep her happy and thus, keep the snakes at bay

Snakes take a perfectly pleasant day and out of no-where your family member or you are dead within minutes. It's the sneaky, limb-less, soul-less, silent sudden life-destroyer of the animal kingdom and that pure danger translates across cultures and species through time and generations. It's essentially what Satan does to the entire human race with a single conversation in Genesis.

I remember growing up and going to a christian private school where they would show us these all the time. I believe the theory (mind you this was more than a decade ago for me so take this with a grain of salt) was they taught us this to explain that dinosaurs were vegetarians before the flood. This was a theory by Ken Ham the crazy Christian fundamentalist. I cant remember if the logic was because “well what did the dinosaurs eat on the ark?” or if it was something from Genesis about how Adam and Eve were vegetarians for long time before they ate the fruit of knowledge and evil.

What a guy. Beaten by every storm god, but still strives to meet his goal. We should all take a lesson from the primordial sea serpent

@Cactus Juice I get what you mean, I hate it when people do those overly detailed, almost scientific description and analysis of mythical creatures. It's even more frequent in Fantasy sadly. People can't just accept the magic of a tale. But I can't really say I can defend the Leviathan. It's literally a big name drop that comes out of nowhere in the Bible, and looks too much like a paganic symbol that contrast with the overall spiritual theme of the texts. It would be like reading Pride And Prejudice and then for some reason there's a dragon that pops up. Why even focus on Joe the Farmer questioning God as he asks him if he could fish Leviathan when you could do a tale with Leviathan?

​@@alexrexaros9837 It's mostly about the fact that the bible is a collection of stories and myths written down. Stories that used to be known by pretty much everyone at the time. Cherry picked stories as well, showing off how great and divine God actually is. Why would a collection of stories, involving the divine and how great they are, have a story about something like the Leviathan and how much destruction and chaos it did? There was probably a story involving the Leviathan, but they chose not to include it.

To be fair, thats what happens when a myth gets to prevalent and became a commonfolk knowledge, you dont re-explain something that everyone who can read have already know at the time. Leviathan might be very famous and mainstream cultural reference at the time, so to put it ridiculously simple, the author was using a meme to show god's flexing game

I actually believe that it keeping it's narrative focused on "normalish things" rather than the fantastic is probably why it has been successful

@@alexrexaros9837 "Magic" itself was a science in many ancient cultures and religions. It wasn't just random supernatural stuff to them, it was a system of logic.

not really... that is the situation but goal was to bring Job closer to his Creator. Satan was just a pawn in a redemption game where God can foresee the outcome already. Pride made the adversary participate in a futile game. It breaks down to, Job was bitching in his mind just not with his mouth... God can read minds.

Craig Richard one thing I always questioned Christianity is .. why do you respect a god that allows something evil to manipulate you.. and then you get doomed to hell forever????

Lisa King - That’s a load of BS. Hardly anything in Genesis comports with reality, nor is it coherent within its own narrative. It’s just an adapted ancient pagan myth historicized by a subgroup of Canaanites who became known as Hebrews. In the story, El lied and told them they would die if they ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. After the serpent told them both the truth, they took fruit from the tree. El punished them by making man work hard to toil the soil and women to have pain during childbirth. He banished them from the Garden of Eden to prevent them from eating from the Tree of Life. That’s it, there was never a mention of original sin initially and the serpent was never meant to be Satan; that is a later interpretation. Does it make any sense to give life to creatures with the naïveté and curiosity of a child and then condemn them for eternity for metaphorically ‘touching the hot stove’?? Lisa, if you are going to argue on behalf of Biblical scripture you should at least read it thoroughly first, and understand the context beyond the spoon-fed superficial sermons of the Sunday morning pews..

@@KithandKings it was not the tree of life, it was the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Satan tempted eve to steal that fruit from the LORD God. All they had to do was ask, but instead of letting the LORD God give it to them and explain...they stold it and fear entered into them as a result causing them shame. The disobedience and even the theft is forgivable, but neither Adam nor Eve wanted to take responsibility for their actions. Adam blamed Eve, Eve blamed Satan, then Satan said nothing....just as Jesus did at His trial. This is the moment when Satan gained power over man, God put him on a leash.....this is reality. Satan has no power over man unless man is not willing to take responsibility for his own actions....a.k.a the accuser.....the teee of life remains uncorrupted and protected by cherubims and a flaming sword....that sword is the Word of God, and it can give life and take it away....use it wisely.

No,it is not a metaphor. Because the Bible says Leviathan is the king of pride, a collosal and mighty beast like a dragon. Just think with me, if many cultures that did not have contact with each other had talked about the exact same thing, maybe in the time of their living they actually somehow had ocular experience with such a beast? Maybe it is a "myth" now because we don't have proof, but it doesn't take away the possibility that these cultures somehow saw something we cannot see anymore.

It says on psalms 27 how god defeated this creature n gave it to the Hebrews to eat in the wilderness

This guy gets it. I never heard of Rahab before so I wonder how many people in Melville's time immediately recognize his allusion. I knew Ahab was a minor biblical character as well so maybe that made the correlation a little less obvious? I dunno but I love any book that is enough source material for an entire Mastodon concept album.

No. The adjective we use today, behemoth-later came to mean a huge prophetic Ox or even elephant's and at the discovery of whales, also was used to describe them at the height of whale hunting in the 1800s. The expression was coined from religious and historical writings

Concidering the fact people in the past had more contact to religious texts it is no that hard to assume , they would have noticed the pun . The first atheists have been rised with religion and found it stupid ... so they would have liked the pun even more :D

Then there's the Leviathan whale which is a bigger, more predatory version of the sperm whale.

Glad I'm not the only one who instantly made that connection. Maybe Herman Melville got inspiration for Ahab via Rahab? I wouldn't be surprised: if I'm not mistaken he was a very religious man. Also I visited the house of one of his descendants during yet another Vineyard trip. It was lovely and filled with whales. :)

"Hello Aliens, we are the council of humanity, here to present you our core values. Compassion, Love, Exploration and we fucking hate snakes"

The Leviathan stands for Ur-angst (primordial fear) or more precisely: the fear of the unknown; hence the snake because it's physical form and movement invokes fear and the ocean with it's deep water. Chaoskampf is the fight against the chaos. From chaos arises order, or from leviathan's corpse god created the world.

Behemoth (Hebrew) Bĕhēmōth, singular bĕhēmāh [from bāham to be dumb, mute] A beast, a nonspeaking living being; used in Job 40:15-23. Scholars are of the opinion that the reference here is to the hippopotamus or the Leviathan. “Behemoth is the principle of Darkness, or Satan, in Roman Catholic Theology, and yet Job says of him that ‘Behemoth is the chief (principle) of the ways of God’ ” (SD 2:486), and an entity spoken of, however poetically, as the chief of the ways of the divine, can hardly be a physical quadruped of earth.

Pat, please don't listen to Aron Ra. that man has an agenda. I mean, we hear all the Time that Christian Apologists have an agenda and can't be Trusted, but somehow we assume Atheists are always honest and just giving the facts. Aron Ra makes his living abusing Christians and mocking them and tearing them down, so I'd not really see him as an objective source who concerns himself with facts. Hell, I spoke to him about how he blatantly lied, and all he did was try to talk down to me as a "Believer in denial" an change the subject. By the way, what I spoke to him about was his claim that the Bible itself defines Faith as belief without evidence. He has a List of Verses that supposedly prove this. None of the verses he presented say this but all of is followers lapped it up because they didn't even read the list. The Truth is, Atheists are not Neutral and objective, nor are they Logical and base their beliefs ONLY on Evidence. Aron Ra makes claims he uses to trash Christians and has an obvious bias and clear agenda.

Leviathan is a metaphor for God's working with creation, it's a monster but might/did exist. It's the biggest monster serpent/dinosaur in history.

Jesus was witnessed to be the promised Messiah, the savior of the world.

Hopefully it was just short-sighted and that statement assumed that humanity as a whole wouldn't grow intellectually. To be fair, it was a long shot to wager at the time we'd land on the moon let alone comprehend wether patterns because let's face it, people over the ages and even today were/are more often than not pretty damn ignorant. Not that it's damming, it's amazing that humanity has advanced by leaps and bounds; we only recently expanded individual social groups from a dozen friends and family to followings of hundreds or thousands, and 1903 was the first flight (so in a little over 100 years we have stealth fighters and missiles that can end all life). So in all honesty, it's pretty damn surprising that we'd come to comprehend most of what was listed in that rant. We can make lightning with tesla coils, seed clouds, etc etc etc. Come to think of it, that rant sounds an awful lot like a floury description of the earth's core and mantle, with the tectonic plates being the scales. Sure, if that's the case, he'd have to use layman's terms and make a big analogy, but when you try to extract the abstract concepts, the circulating current of molten metal and lava which generates our magnetosphere and causes the Aurora Borealis seems to fit the bill. He's essentially explaining cosmic and natural phenomena to children, so makes sense to use vocabulary of relatable everyday items and creatures like snakes as a metaphor.

As for spinocroc's original comment, this is exactly why translations are so difficult. *something* is going to get lost in the process.

You're right, there is no basis in the Hebrew text for the monster having multiple heads. This interpretation is based on a faulty translation and while it would be cool for it to have multiple heads, there isn't evidence in the original text.

spinocroc123, this is all so wrong i'm not really sure where to begin. trey did his research; while he obviously doesn't read hebrew, he does get all of the relevant facts right. but i'm not really sure you read hebrew, either. see, psalm 74:14 reads רָאשֵׁי לִוְיָתָן. that's ראש (head) + י (the CONSTRUCT state of the plural ים) + לויתן (livyatan). when two nouns are in construct, it implies an "of" relationship. so it clearly does, in fact, say PLURAL "heads" of a SINGULAR "leviathan".

Meowmeow Meow see my above comment. plural "heads" is indeed the correct translation for psalm 74:14. there are very few translations that do not render "heads" here, because, well, "heads" is correct. both the masoretic (hebrew) and LXX (greek) have a plural.

It's funny How ppl interpret things differently. To me, it looked like a Man with His head bowed down while carrying an injured sheep across His shoulders LOL

Tom Meakin Yes I agree. Let’s not let that turn us into fascist weirdos now!

@@neomcdoom I think you may be taking this further than i am.... Why would that idea lead people to fascism lol?

Tom Meakin It’s not that the idea itself is fascist, it’s more that things like mythology and ancient culture have been co-opted into far right movements recently.

@@neomcdoom I do find it troubling how people are frequently attempting to associate the far right and western history, tradition and mythology. Yes, the far right (the right generally though) will be likely to hold up these things as valuable, at least more likely than the majority of the left; but that doesn't mean reasonable people can't value these things. I'm pretty much bang in the middle of the right/left divide, but I'm much more libertarian than authoritarian; but I'm kind of annoyed by how modern culture has done a good job of largely ignoring the brilliant foundations of my culture. It's good to be told that you stand on the shoulders of giants, and that your ancestors did a lot right and it's your responsibility to keep this thing going and strive to the same greatness as the best of you ancestors did

Tom Meakin Yes I agree. Although one could argue that as people of the earth we all have a sort of shared history. A black or Asian man in the United States would be able to benefit from western culture just as much a white man. I mean the Bible is a religious text from the Middle East, and it was responsible for a lot of the greatest art and literature in the western cannon.

I can't because you're right

There is no argument against this

Trey the barn owl

BusStop’s Pets Who would want to change your mind about that?

can't change what is right

Welcome to the club. I started around here, too. The archaeological findings.

The collective unconscious, the human experience with it and the way it's archtypes and stories that manifest in Modern religions are things that remain unchanged throughout history because that is how we interact with this deeper aspect of reality. Carl Jung explains this well in his works on psychology relationship with Mysticism and Spirituality, another to explain this relationship well is Computer Scientist and Philosoher, Bernardo Kastrup

@Zad Take a look at researchers like Carl Jung, Frithjof Schuon and Bernardo Kastrup and Writer Aldous Huxley book called perennial philosophy, they further link and expand on this ancient connections and views

What keeps you from believing in the young earth creation theory just curious?

Absolutely possible imo, I've been photographing the ocean in UK storm season and I am often almost overwhelmed with fear 😂 it's what started my fascination with Leviathan, the feeling of such massive and indescribable power right by your feet.. And we don't even get waves that big here, I can only imagine what it would be like elsewhere!

The ancestors of humans lived alongside venomous snake in a jungle environment. Hominoids and apes very quickly recognize snakes As a danger

For amerindians snakes are mostly Major-Gods related with wisdom, knowledge etc., or top tier neutral entities 💀💀

Because creationists are wicked smaht.

Sauropods also had sharp teeth. Only the ornithischians had chewing teeth.

Because he is hungry

sense this is creationist art portraying the Garden of Eden, this is likely based on the interpretation of the bible that thinks that all animals were herbivores until after the Flood of Noah.

The illustrations from that book (Dinosaurs of Eden) are absurd, I there's a Parasaurolophus BREATHING FIRE. Or Knights fighting a Baryonyx.

Wow! Cool naman!

Bakunawa

This particular myth is said to have originated in India, as it is also spoken about all over the Philippines, as well as all over Indonesia and some other places. If I remember right, it actually started as just a giant floating head that ate the moon and was interpreted differently by Southeast Asia’s various cultures, ending up as a snake-like dragon-like creature to the Visayans and peoples of Luzon. Also fellow Pinoy here 🇵🇭

Even Ragnar Lothbrok, semi-mythical, slayed a serpent at the very start of his journey. Seems like something deeply embedded in the human psyche.

The Bakunawa has no killer though. But Bulan has a homosexual husband

We are created to abide with God. Not to be gods, such childish questioning and pride.

actually the original Hebrew name is "livyatan" (our alphabet is a mess and very easy to misinterpret for none speakers) with not only supports but also strengthens your point!

the unlikely I was only transliterating the 'consonantal' characters (as can be seen at 1:18, though they are reversed), but yes, there are other vowels present, which can be seen in the niqqud.

Ok you guys should do research cause livyatan is a prehistoric extinct toothed whale

Logan Tate Not the same, that creature was named after the mythological one, millennia later

I actually knew that but its still a extinct whale and I'm not trying to be hostile or defensive

One word, India

Can’t be. They often killed snakes lol

It’s a sea dwelling creature though (?). Aside from having an understandable fear of the sea, and the unknown and danger it brings in its vastness, unseeableness, and lack of humans,...... I do think that when sailing they’ve seen some gigantic creatures. It could just be creatures were thinking of, like the ones that we know of, maybe they decently giant snake like sea creature and it scarred the ancients mentally. Became a good tool for expressing themselves symbolically and metaphorically and literally

+Simon Kozlovič The closest thing we've to a true Leviathan are the boringly psycopathic Killer Whales; boring :P

I thought this was going to be a "Your Mom" joke

T2266 #metoo

The DORUK modern sperm whale is the closest. Considering livyathan was a sperm whale.

Livyatan (pronounced the same as Leviathan) is just hebrew for whale. Any whale. Livyatan katlan (killer whale), livyatan zerrah (sperm whale), livyatan cakhol (blue whale), and so on. As simple as that. It is a reference, as well as a possible modern explaination (the Hebrew language was revived only by the late 19th century to early 20th century) to the mythical biblical entity. Behemoth, by the way, is also a name given to a real-life creature in hebrew: Hippopotamus. And a similar word, Behemah, is used to refer to livestock, as Beh'emott is it's plural.

If leviathan is a crocodile, then Behemoth is a Hippo.

@@estebanelguapo Yep, or an elephant

@@johnsm3568 The behemoth is literally a bull. Don't know why Christians are unaware of this, it's in the Jewish exegeses.. o wait, that's right: you don't care about what the Jews have to say about their Jewish books. The leviathan is a big fish, and serpents are evil rulers. Maybe you guys should actually read the traditional literature, instead of coming up with all of these absurd ideas that have nothing to do with the text.

@@XaeeD Hahahaha, and where did the Jews and the Hebrews before them get their ideas from? Stop talking nonsense now and go read something OLDER than the Hebrew texts or better yet look at the evidence of man's adventures and exploration that predates any form of writing. I'm not Christian fyi

@@johnsm3568 Yeah, except people are discussing *what's in the Bible* and hypothesizing on its contents. So that's what I replied to, you dummy. And you haven't read anything. I doubt you've read the English Bible, let alone clay tablets in dead languages, with your Spiderman pic.

and to think this is all that survived, how many religious myths and cultures never made it into recorded time?

Jonah Epstein ....Huh....we don't have a Grass Type Theropod Guess the thing getting hit is some Regional Variant of Tropius

KSound Kaiju Then what's Sceptile?

Mighty Ant43. Mostly lizard

KSound Kaiju But according to its biology it’s a theropod. Bipedal, three toed limbs, and according to the fact that they are pretty fast they must have hollow bones so yeah, I think Sceptile is a theropod.

The serpent is a representation of thr concept of infinity. The snake eating its tail, the oroboros

@@bigfootsburneraccount9160 true. But if I was an ancient guy I would never think of a big snake biting its tail

@Pure_Steve _1153 Such power... could it be?!?? The legends told of this but I never thought I’d see it with my own eyes!!

The leviathan is the golden spiral

Waaaaaaat HOW COULD i BE SO BLIND !!!!!

CienkiTV I just wanted to watch an owl-filled video, not be reminded of sbr

CienkiTV new theory: diego brando can transform whales into the leviathan

All gyrados? :o that sounds sick

That sounds badass

@@joshybosley391 yes and frightening, I stood up in the boat and it was dark but from a far you seen this giant Leviathan shaped dragon in the lightning light staring back at me

This whole thing is so interesting because, if you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. To people who have no idea of what venom is or how it works, snakes are kind-of magical in how dangerous they are. One bite and suddenly you feel really weird and usually die. And since many snakes mate in large writhing masses of slithering bodies, it's no wonder that ancient people looked at these weird-looking masses of magic death lizards and thought of it as one body with multiple heads. Then, from there, the creature's just made gigantic to up the danger of it and the deity (personified by another force that can't be explained) is made out to be much more powerful by their ability to defeat such a thing.

No problem! It was definitely fun to research ;)

TREY the Explainer Maybe we can have something for Jurassic Parks 25th anniversary?

trey you did an awaesome video but i am still convince all of this tales come from migrating barn owls

Geez calm your tits girl! you give ancient people too much credit, i use to live in the fields deep in the mountains of my country and i can tell you most country people (or people who live withiut too much technology) are dumb as rocks and believe all sort of things, also make al sort of stories to try to explain what happens aroud them, until someone dares to challenge that way of thinking of course, but mostly decades or even centuries pass until that happens, and that is how this stories come to life, is not that hard to understand you know.

That and brute wyverns are my favorite monster class.

Lol. But seriously, dalamadur is basically leviathan but spikier, and in a mountain

Heyyyyyyy , oh shit waddup ^^

Lost World hello, monster hunter has two leviathans(dalamadur and raviente) and a mini leviathan( najarala)

Same here!
