Trh Friday Link for 2/13/26

Howdy all! I hope everyone has a nice Valentine's Day tomorrow, if you choose to celebrate!

We are going to visit 4 of my favorite content creators on YouTube.  These are four people who will dive into a certain topic and make you smarter before you know it, with one doing it while making you laugh.

First up is one of the best voices I've ever heard, Simon Whistler, and his Sideprojects channel. It's been a few years since I featured him, so he is overdue! 

He starts us off with an interesting video about some of the ancient mysteries which we still have not figured out, but finally made some headway on in the last decade. 

The three in this video I really enjoyed learning about were the Easter Island heads, the mystery of ancient Roman concrete, and the discovery that there indeed used to be an outlet of the Nile River, which went by the ancient pyramids of Giza, explaining how they were built.  

Next up is Joe Scott, a guy I've featured a few times.  He has the story of a really bizarre find in Russia, a massive shaft which may or may not have been the entrance to some sort of headquarters of an ancient society.  They again, it might be a hoax, or at least nothing so grandiose. 

Dan McClellan is also a great channel.  He is a scholar of Biblical knowledge, and he spends a lot of time correcting (mainly evangelicals) of their intentional or unintentional mistakes about the Bible and its history. This week, he explores the question of what happened to the 12 apostles in regard to their martyrdom stories. 

Finally, tonight, I did promise you a funny one, and the best for that is ZeFrank and his True Facts Education channel.  This time, it's True Facts about Beetles! 

That's it for this Friday.  Have a nice weekend.

ICE sucks.
