- William Butler Yeats
Hello and welcome to Fire of Learning. On this channel, we discuss a wide variety of subjects, with a primary, but not exclusive focus on human history and related fields, such as mythology and linguistics.
Our most popular series include:
• The History of Nations and Peoples - A series in which we explore the history of the world's nations in ~1-4 hour long documentary presentations.
• The History of Food and Agriculture - A series focusing on the historic origins and development of the food we eat every day.
• Campfire - A series focusing on myths, folklore, legends, and related topics, both historic and modern.
We also have a channel much like this called Lucinox, which focuses on science.
