Currently Playing: The Story of Onfim (a Medieval Child)

Hello there guys and welcome back to another installment of Trey the Explainer! Humans have not changed much over thousands of years. In this video, I will discuss the nature of time, history, and humanity. We will be examining the fantastical world of a medieval child that existed 800 years ago. His name was Onfim... We will also look at other examples of graffiti and artwork from past peoples around the world. I hope you enjoy! Special thanks to Ida @ncdraw for telling me about Onfim ;) Music Used: I Don't See the Branches, I See the Leaves by Chris Zabriskie Chris Zabriskie - What Does Anybody Know About Anything God Be With You Till We Meet Again - Chris Zabriskie But Enough About Me, Bill Paxton - Chris Zabriskie Elf Meditation by Kevin Macleod Most of the images used belong to the Wikimedia Commons or the Novgorod Birch Bark database: http://gramoty.ru/birchbark/ Citations: Yanine, Valentine (2009).
