Why Sandalwood Is So Expensive | So Expensive
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPRpWg_wU0A
--Quote:
Sandalwood is one of the most expensive woods in the world: One kilogram of Indian sandalwood can cost $200. Its unique, long-lasting aroma makes it extremely sought after. And when that aroma is distilled into oil, a single kilogram can cost $8,000. Today, sandalwood oil is a coveted ingredient for perfumes, soaps, and incense. So what's so special about sandalwood's aroma? And is that why the wood is so expensive?
Why Agarwood Is So Expensive | So Expensive
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1utBGvW5rM
--Quote:
For thousands of years, agarwood has been known as "The Wood of the Gods." First-grade agarwood can cost as much as $100,000 per kilogram, making it one of the most expensive raw materials in the world. Aquilaria malaccensis is a tree native to the rainforests of southeast Asia. The healthy heartwood inside Aquilaria trees is pale, odorless, and worthless. In order for this tree to produce any agarwood, it must first become infected with mold. So how does this infection process work? What is agarwood used for? And what makes it so valuable?
Why Frankincense And Myrrh Are So Expensive | So Expensive
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LMioQGsFFw
Quote:
Frankincense and myrrh are perhaps best known for their biblical connotations. But this tree sap has been prized across the world for over 6,000 years. These fragrant incense pieces come from the Burseraceae family of trees and are found across the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. But despite recent attempts to protect these trees, they could soon be headed for extinction. So what makes frankincense and myrrh so expensive?

Do you guys know or follow 8-Bit Big Band? I love em. They do orchestral covers of classic game themes from Mario, to Sonic, and to this one, Duck Tales. Their channel is just awesome to go through.
Highly recommended on their playlist: this one for Duck Tales of course! And Super Mario World Ending Theme, Legend of Zelda Gerudo Valley, and Katamari Rolling Star. :D
Jade Hunting, How to "Identify" and "Test" Jade!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq7U-QVhPvM
Quote:
Jade hunting on the Mighty Fraser river in British Columbia, Canada. In this video I spend an afternoon looking for jade on one of my Fraser River Jade claims. I find many pieces that could be Jade (Nephrite) or could be serpentine. I then take them home and run them through 3 tests to determine if it is in face BC Jade or just gem serpentine.
Nephrite is the mineral name for what we all know as Jade.

Attempting to double up on the legendary "Beefeater's" Sirloin Steak Challenge at Prime Quarter in Janesville, Wisconsin! Hungry diner's typically have 75 minutes to finish a 40oz steak, baked potato, Texas toast, and a side salad in order to receive a finisher's medallion worth $35 and a spot on the Beefeaters Wall of Fame! I decided it would be fun to try and finish TWO within the time limit and maybe even order some dessert!

We believe Mars may once have had oceans and sky but lost them from a lack of a magnetosphere. How does this happen, and how can we create a magnetosphere for Mars so we can terraform and live on it?

Science Fiction has shown us humanity exploring the stars at hundreds of times faster than light speed, but what if the fastest ships we can make never even reach a hundredth of light speed? Can we still settle the galaxy and what will that colonization entail?

The Indo-European Creation Myth: What Does It Really Mean?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVr9QajDZLE
Quote:
The Proto Indo-Europeans create a myth involving two brothers and a cow, but why? What does the creation myth mean? What does it represent? In this video we walk through the myth trying to work out what it meant by considering differences, especially the role of the cow and ox, and conclude by telling another version of the myth.
