The Jars of Eternity

Is our culture worthwhile? Does our existence matter? This video looks at a society that left behind megalithic tombs to determine if we'll matter once we're gone.

Thanks for watching! You're clearly one of the good ones.

It means a huge deal that so many have asked us to start an account. I never thought anyone would watch these videos, let alone support them.

"Are we important?"

"Let's talk death."


*That escalated very quickly*

I never, ever comment on youtube videos, but I can't resist on this one. I've been following this series since near the beginning, and it only grows and deepens in quality over time. What you and your contributors have done in making this series is incredible. I have not been educated and emotionally moved by youtube videos like this before. Evan, you're doing something fantastic, a big thank you to you and everyone else that plays a part in making this.

As a person caught between several cultures, this hits so close to home that I started crying. Thank you so much for producing this series. It's been so meaningful.

When you said "...but do you serve cake?" at the end it made me laugh and feel sad at the same time. I've spent most of my childhood as a foreigner so sometimes i get conflicted on who's culture i belong to or should follow. Great video and as always great series. I hope youtube does something to promote videos and channels like yours more often.

This series feels important. It makes me sad seeing the amount of people only referencing the lack of popularity towards this series in the comment section. I hope that a low view count does not discourage you to continue these videos. Every "episode" maintains such well researched material I cant help but hope that it is viable to keep making more of these. Without these videos I would probably live my entire life without knowing a thing about the places you visit.

The question of who I am is something I've dealt with my whole life. Born in the Philippines, I was adopted at the age of 3 months by a Dutch father (through whom I have Dutch citizenship) and a Singaporean mother. After the adoption, I proceeded to live in 14 different countries until I was 29. So who am I?

I'm all of the nations I've lived in.

All of the cultural impressions that are within me, every language I've had to learn, all the foods, celebrations. It's all me. Just because I can't put a label (3rd culture kid comes closest if someone *must* have a label*) on it doesn't mean I don't know who I am and who I will continue to become.

But humans seem to love labels, don't they?

I really like the production value of this series. The host is very easy to listen to and you can really see his enthusiasm for the content. Keep it up lads, its some good shit going on here

Views don't matter educating us is more appreciated than words describe.

My heart goes out to the people of the southeast Asia who suffer as a result of Agent Orange exposure. My own father has Parkinsons and dementia from his exposure during the war and the effects were much more severe for the populace it was dropped on. I urge you to learn about agent Orange and the terrors that it, and other chemical weapons present. Maybe some day in the future we will no longer see the need to use chemicals to maim members of our own species.

One of the best channels on YouTube!
I always learn something deep and meaningful here! Thank you for your sacrifices and immense efforts!

[thomasdarch]

This series deserves so many more viewers!
This stuff is so interesting!

[Cyssane]

This series just keeps getting better and better. One of the best on Youtube.

This province is where my hometown is. Appreciated your hard works to understand the history of the Plain of Jars and conveyed to more people far away from around the world who watched this video. Cheer and stay safe.

[petatwin]

Thank you so much for relating your experience and asking the sometimes difficult questions. The level of engagement that you have with the artefacts and cultures that you study is outstanding.

[jonathannetherton]

You have a wisdom that is far deeper than your years and far deeper than most people carry. I'm glad I got to live at the same time as you making videos during our brief blip existing.

[Rainbow_Sish_Kabob]

I don't normally comment on videos, and I now this sounds cliché, but I must say this series is one of the best I have ever found on youtube. Thank you.

[BurnsyRuns]

Thank you for striking such a perfect balance between education and entertainment. I discovered this channel today and cant stop binging these amazing videos

[gwendolinemutsachikofi]

I have been touched really really are only important to each other at this time. At some point, what we value now may not even matter anymore. Profound. Thank you, this calls for a change in priorities.

[KannikCat]

Thanks Evan for posing the question and reminding us that we get to create who we are. Wonderful video.
