Yeah, it was a really fun episode. Anyway So as you know I got to teach you some stuff in this episode so without further ado [Intro] So a few things I wish I could have talked a little bit more about in the Jamaica episode, so like I wanted to talk a little bit more about The indigenous Taino and Arawak that originally inhabited Jamaica, are all but pretty much lost or gone Or dissolved into the lineage of the inhabitants as many of their ancestors Intermarried on the national animal is the red-billed streamertail. So, anyway the flag. The flag of Jamaica has a gold x-shaped cross Dividing the flag into four sections: two green on the top and bottom and two black on the left and right It's also important to note that this is the only national flag in the world that does not feature any of the colors red, white or blue. The green stands for the lush vegetation of The land the gold represents the wealth and golden sunshine and the black represents the strength and creativity of the people which has allowed them to overcome the odds. Originally They had a contest to see which flag that they should adopt many people liked this simple horizontal tricolour Proposition and many people liked the middle gold band configuration however They found out that it was way too similar to the flag of Tanganyika Before became Tanzania except for when they were under the Spanish under the cross of Burgundy Pretty much for the rest of their history they were under various types of Union Jack flags Then there was that weird like West Indies Federation Flag in which all of these countries were unified under one sovereign state kind of technically But it only lasted four years, and then they broke up into nine countries, it's complicated Just look up West Indies Federation So anyway the coat of arms the coat of arms contains two West Indian natives: a woman holding a basket of fruit and a man With a bow both supporting a shield emblazoned with a Red Cross and five Pineapples on top of a shield lies the crest made up of a royal helmet topped with a log and a crocodile's all standing on A banner that states the national motto: out of many, one people. This was actually the coat of arms used on many of the British Colony flags that they gave to make up back when they're under the sovereignty of the British over time slight variations changed But you could totally tell it's British because you know the helmet and the St. George's Cross ah you Brits always sneaking in little hints of your past Empire endeavors Anyway, that just about does it so you know what time it is Geogra- Fanmail time! Alright, so let's just jump into it We've got a ton of stuff including this huge box. This is the biggest thing I've ever had sent to me. We'll open it last Uh...
