This video explores myths from creation to dragons to death to floods, and explains what they mean and where they come from, their age and origin. This is the first time I've given a talk combining all the key mythologies from many cultures into one video, and whether you are familiar with mythology or want to know more, this video will reveal secrets that other channels are not telling you. This is the story of the origins and truths about myths.
