Bonus Video

I spent the day today making an extra video to see if I can get some numbers up. I'm honestly a little nervous that something is happening where my content is being suppressed. I've had a huge upswing in rude trolling comments and all of my stats have dropped by nearly 75%.
So, maybe a little extra content will help.
This is just a simple "guess the animal" quiz video.
And this weekend, the video will be about 5 mysterious unidentified animals from ancient art.
I hope you enjoy and that you all have a great week!

I actually surprised myself and got more of these correct than I thought I would.

I initially researched an introductory monologue for this, but then felt that I just needed to cut straight to it. But it seems that Medieval art wasn't concerned with realism, but with symbolism and the use of nature in teaching humanistic and religious values/morality. So animals were humanized in order to make their symbolic traits more relatable to the viewer.

This is a great video and so entertaining! I guessed about four of them - some were bizarre beyond belief! I wonder why medieval artists gave animals such human features?
