 Are you interested in words, or history, or culture, or how people think? Do you like knowing the strange connections between people, places, ideas, and events? Do you want to understand more about the things you take for granted, or explore odd corners of the English language? Well I do. Welcome to the Endless Knot. My name is Mark Sundram, and this channel will feature videos presenting a series of etymological explorations and cultural connections, showing that languages are the fossil remains of human culture and history, and that by examining them, we could reconstruct the complex web of interconnections that surrounds us. Along the way, we'll see how King Arthur relates to Sherlock Holmes, how wizards are connected to yearbooks, what the triangular sail tells us about humanism, how the meaning of the word Lord explains the origin of the word Dairy, and what a pomegranate seed reveals about the human brain. Please subscribe to this channel to see videos about language, history, and thought, and the interconnections in the world around us.
