    A day in the life of a Peruvian shaman - Gabriel Prieto

    Follow Quexo, a Peruvian shaman, as he searches for cinnabar to complete a special ritual that will protect his village from winter storms.--The year is 1400 BCE. At the temple of the fisherman, the morning is unusually still and this is just the latest in a series of troubling signs for Quexo, the village shaman. The villagers live off the sea, but this year the winds have died and the fish have dwindled. He’s seen this before— his only hope to fix it is a special ritual. Gabriel Prieto outlines a day in the life of a Peruvian shaman.Lesson by Gabriel Prieto, directed by Globizco Studios.

    One crucial reason that life on Earth exists - Elise Cutts

    Explore the Big Whack theory, and how the event could have created the Moon and given Earth its all-important axial tilt.--4.5 billion years ago, Earth was struck by a rock the size of Mars flying 9 kilometers a second. The force of this collision temporarily turned Earth’s surface into an ocean of molten magma. Today, some scientists call this cosmic crash the Big Whack, and we’re still dealing with the impacts of this impact. Elise Cutts explores the pivotal role Earth’s obliquity plays in our planet's processes.Lesson by Elise Cutts, directed by Igor Ćorić, Artrake Studio.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/why-is-earths-tilt-so-important-elise-cuttsDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/why-is-earths-tilt-so-important-elise-cutts/digdeeperAnimator's website: https://www.artrake.comMusic: https://www.workplaywork.com----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!

    The motion that catalyzed the Holocaust - Alexandra Minna Stern and Natalie Lira

    Trace the history of the eugenics movement in the US, and discover how the belief in ideal genetics led to forced sterilizations.--Since ancient Greece, humans have controlled populations via reproduction, retaining some traits and removing others. But in the 19th century, a new scientific movement dedicated to this endeavor emerged: eugenics. Scientists believed they could improve society by ensuring that only desirable traits were passed down.

    Why global jihad is waning - Bobby Ghosh

    Throughout the history of Islam, says journalist Bobby Ghosh, there have been two sides to jihad: one, internal, a personal struggle to be better, the other external. A small minority (most recently Osama bin Laden) has appropriated the second, using it as an excuse for deadly global violence against "the West." Ghosh suggests that, now that bin Laden's worldwide organization has fragmented, it's time to reclaim the word. (Filmed at TEDxGeorgetown.)Talk by Bobby Ghosh. Learn more about your ad choices.
