  • Hey there! I am Mike Rugnetta,

  • and this is going to be Crash Course World Mythology.

  • We're gonna learn about the stories that explain

  • life, the universe, and almost everything.

  • We'll explore the beginning of the universe,

  • the end of the universe,

  • who exactly is running said universe.

  • We're gonna address a bunch of questions like

  • where children come from,

  • how we got death and disease,

  • and what exactly the deal is with unicorns and virgins.

  • So, yeah. No big deal.

  • It probably does seem like a lot

  • and as it should!

  • We really are going to try to emphasize

  • the "world" part of world mythology.

  • We're gonna get into Zeus and Odin

  • and their terrible siblings and kids,

  • but we're also going to be looking at stories from Japan,

  • Sumer, Egypt, Guinea, the Americas, India, and more.

  • By the time you're seeing this,

  • we will have shot only seven episodes

  • and look at all of the spots we've already visited!

  • There's still a lot more to go.

  • The point, though, isn't to tick

  • all of the mythological locales off of

  • the geographical list one by one.

  • We want to zoom out and look at

  • the entire world of myth

  • rather than one tradition at a time

  • so we can see the similarities in the stories

  • that different peoples tell about the universe.

  • Even with the vast diversity of stories

  • that humans have come up with

  • to understand everything around them,

  • it turns out that we all have a lot in common.

  • Many civilizations search for answers

  • to the same questions,

  • and what they come up with always teaches us

  • something about who the people of that civilization are

  • and what they value.

  • Our own included.

  • We're really excited to learn all of this stuff with you:

  • How the world was variously created,

  • will eventually be destroyed,

  • and why, in the meantime,

  • we have the pleasure of gardening on it.

  • It's gonna be epic.

  • Literally.

  • ♫ [Crash Course theme] ♫
