  Your connection of "elf-shot" with Neolithic arrowheads is the first NEW thing I've learned about the witchcraft murders since seeing their likeness to the MAGA movement. Both were/are far-reaching and many-headed manipulations by men in local, regional and multiregional positions of power, OF local men with less power. They were then, and are now, inhuman murder cults. To keep trying to explain it away by talking about people's "superstition" is useless. The murders were done by people who had power to arrest, "try", and order victims executed, then publish what those victims had said under torture. I believe torture wasn't "often" used; it was ALWAYS used. To spread terror among the people vulnerable to being accused. Then as now -- and it's a mere few hundred years between then and now -- there are plenty of men who have already given up their humanity available when an opportunity like either of these comes to cash in and obtain power. What you didn't say about Kramer & Sprenger's Malleus Malificarum, is that it's full of lies. It was probably commissioned by someone more powerful than these two Dominican priests. I first became "interested" in the witchcraft murders when I was in my 20s. I'm 80 now and have learned as much as I can about them, starting with Margaret Murray's "The God of the Witches". But it was my realization of its likeness to MAGA that has explained it best.

  They simply read into the narrative that he had men. it is a sign to me of illiteracy on this topic. So many half decent books fall here.

  I have been an avid reader of the Rebus novels and recently read A Heart Full of Headstones. Unfortunately as of late the narrative is being bleached of its Scottishness. I haven't lived in Scotland for 60 years and like my Scottish friends here we enjoy the Scottish Lowland vernacular dancing through a Rebus tale. Give us back our Irn-Bru.

  Just needed to write a comment because IR deserves all of the kudos which have come his way and there should never be a blank comment section under his name..either viewers are not commenting, or I'm the only one who has watched this fascinating video on Rankin's thought processes..kinda doubt it...

  I wonder why plastic book covers aren't a thing yet. It'd definitely save on cost and environment friendly as well. The back would have a circle like joint and a cylinder pin to allow opening and closing. Probably better and preserving the pages as well since this could allow shielding from the elements with a plastic cover over the open space of the book too. Constant sunlight or heat could mess with it tho.... Bah, thinking to hard on this. lovely video!

  Prof Mattius Desmet has a theory of a "Mass Formation". You need a narrative from a leading figure (Church) to spread the fear to produce the anxiety in the public. Why>? Simple as this church wants depopulation as its easier to take over the ownership of land when there is a lack of descendants>? If you look at who owns deeside after the witch hunts you will see thats its royal & church based ownership....

  Greenland sharks have a very small, short dorsal fin. Whatever this is appears to have a very small, short dorsal fin. Whether they could or would swim up the River Ness to get there is another matter, but still. It’s a theory.

  This guy is no genus. "Republicans" as a party DID NOT EXIST until well after 1800. The Republicans were founded as a party SPECIFICALLY against slavery. Lincoln being one of their most notable members. He "SHOULD" be talking about 'The Wig Party', which is what they were called. I myself hold a history degree an am embarrassed by his IGNORANCE ... He's the speaker...?

  You're very nice, but I'm not entirely sure why you are smiling about such a shameful era of our history. It's very tragic. Also...it's not like it's something that's no longer practiced or believed in...yet you do make it sound like it. It is fascinating, but people were tortured and they died and that's not a happy thing. Regardless, I appreciate the information. Thank you.
