MEEEEEEE
Love Mythology? What other videos on mythology should we do?
hey man do you know why youtube unsubscribes people? it unsubscribed me and i missed some of your content
Top10Archive Abhartach is not Vlad Tepes Dracul, idiot.
jim darklighter
Top10Archive Egyptian mythology!
call me
The banshee just tells someone when they're going to die, it cant kill you!
Charlie Barker The Banshee can kill you! (well considering its made up your half right lol)
O it can kill you but not often it sometimes lures men to their death. Take it from an Irish person
We used to be told that the Bean Sidhe could kill you. She was usually seen first as a young woman combing her hair. She would throw her comb at you and if it hit you, you would die.
The banshee follows if you have a certain name and they kill a loved one
Does Shee mean of the hills? I thought it came from sidhe which translated as fairies, and other supernatural beings.
The picture shown at no 8 is Vlad Dracula, know your facts!!
I scrolled the comments to see if anyone else knew that, lol.
I was disappointed af
It also showed a clip from a Harry Potter film, what’s your point?
Created by an Irishman so it counts 😂😂
@@michelleresistance Lol. Apparently she thinks the rest of the representations are accurate.
ahh i love mythology!!! way too cool and every country has a different legend.
Us too! :D We've done a lot of mythology videos in the past, and have a lot more still to come!
Please do Slavic and Turkic Mythologies, they are the least covered and so far have no videos on RUclips, also Persian/Arab/Polynesian are potentially good candidates as well
I know right the more I know about mythology the more I want to know!!
chicken permission / me too!!
Me too
No one:
Nobody at all:
Not one living thing:
Banshees:AAaAaAAaAAaAAAaaAaA!!!!
Edda Melkorka Pétursdóttir interesting you mentioned Melkorka
my step dad is a trucker and he once told me how if he drives for too long hell see a black hound running beside his truck and that its a warning that the trucker needs to stop. a lot of truckers including my dad have claimed to see this dog and they all describe it similarly as a very large black/shadowy hound. sometimes with red eyes sometimes with no discernable eyes but theyll all agree that whenever someone sees the dog they need to stop driving as soon as possible and sleep or else they always crash. sounds pretty similar to Gwyllgi as well as the england legend of the demon hounds
I second to this, I heard about this hound from drivers several times.
It's been a thing for decades now.
Anubis
My uncle seen a large black dog when he was a young man on top of his mobile home which he always got the creeps in
Hw is 72
when the banshee came in, i thought of Lydia martin. 😅😅
taejhemme Espejo SAME
Ikr
TEEN WOLF 😍
I love teen wolf😍🐺
I thought of miya's skin in ml
The very thought of the banshee scared every Irish child, I hope it's on this video.
Thank you Top10.
lol
You Irish yourself? Cuz I am
Toaster PS4gameplayz yea
+TheSpaceDwarf Nice. Just chillin' out at Top ten Archive
I'm Irish and thank you for butchering the names
I know
They're American, you sound shocked? Lol.
It's ok though xD the way we pronounce things is very different to Americans but it makes it very easy to pronounce anything else. I never really have problems pronouncing foreign names because of weird irishness
They forgot my personal favourite, the Pooka.
i get what you mean 😂😂 its like when im in town and hearing tourists say glass-cow and not glasgow
When the Dullahan came up all I could think of was Celty
iamsky they forgot to mention that Cops can also scare it off lol
TheRogueDustDevil especially motorcycle cops XD
iamsky i felt so bad for Celty i just wanted to hug her XD
iamsky saaaaamme 😂
And that they’re scared of aliens.😏 THEY’RE HERE!
Bean sidhe actually translates as "woman of the fairy hill"
You'll need a large cup of whiaskee beatha
Did it show Vlad the impaler for the dwarf thing
Yeah xP
I was wondering why the hell would he do that. Vlad is the father of the vampires today, and he was in fact a feared ruler, but why the fuck would he call him a "dwarf tyrant"?
This thing made me unsubscribe.
+Kilgrave it makes sense. The dwarf was a vampire. Vlad is the most infamous vampire ever so he just put a picture of a vampire. It's dumb but not the worst thing I've seen on RUclips. Not worth unsubscribing. He still does awesome videos
+BoRaiChoWins I guess you're right. The guy is really good at what he does. Still I don't like misinformation, especially in this kind of videos from which you're supposed to learn stuff you probably never knew.
Besides, Vlad was rather a giant at 6 feet considering that the people in that period were really short.
I love his story and his legend, I guess I let myself get a bit carried away there, eh?
Vlad isn't even an actual vampire. *Rolls eyes*
I couldn't stop laughing when you actually showed that Monty Python scene along with "The warlord grew tired of having to constantly dispatch of [the guy]"😂😂😂
Lmao same😂
I love that film
One time I heard a Banshee screaming unless it was someone being murdered, I was surrounded by trees in the dark and I saw nothing just this screech
Just letting you know it wasn’t a banshee.
@@whothennow24 probably not but who knows, maybe it was a demon haha
I love Celtic mythology, especially the many poignant stories that accompany the famous heroes, deities, monsters and fairies. Could you do a top ten of Celtic stories, please?
ohhh this channel is so much more interesting. bye bye watch mojo. hello this awesome channel!!

You're welcome Manny! :D We've been itching to do another mythology video for awhile, it's been quite a few weeks since our last one!
Top10Archive Keep them coming! ;D

ayeeeee I love mythology on a whole and never knew that much about Celtic mythology so this video was very intriguing
Great list! Learned some new creatures for sure :) I'd love to suggest you make a list on Slavic mythical crestures :) I find it hard to find a video on them around and the topic sure is curious.
Thanks for this video
This can be helpful at my school
We have been learning about Celts and their celtic region/clothes/weapons etc
Awesome, that's great to hear! Glad that we could help!!
I don't know if I would be scared to meet a banshee. True, nobody wants to hear that they're going to die...on the other hand though, if you know _when_ you're going to die, you can start doing everything on your bucket list before the end (especially if the banshee is nice enough to let you know far enough in advance). I seem to have a thing for waiting to the last minute on everything anyway, so if I know that I won't have another chance, I might actually accomplish something.
That isn't how life works... You don't need a monster to frighten you before you can act. the fact that you are conscious of knowing that waiting till the last minute is wrong, use it to right that wrong. If we need someone or some Thing to scare us into doing something, which we should already be doing for our own good, then nobody would truly understand it or the reasons why you should do it or the importance of it. How do you think it's wrong to wait until the last minute? because you realize that all the opportunities you could have had would be wasted and you may not get a second chance at life or that certain area of it. It's kind of a rule to make us humans realize the value of what we have. Maybe thats why laziness in itself is wrong and always frowned upon.
I was trying to write a good D&D game and I just couldn't come up with a good boss beast for a dwarven mine defending an artifact of prophecy and I started watching youtube videos outta frustration, and I saw the Gwyllgi. it was perfect. the black beast of destiny guarding an artifact of foresight and prophecy is absolutely perfect! thank you top ten archives for a random source of inspiration.
we need a Celtic mythology witcher like game
That sounds like a great idea
refine your idea and present it to multiple gaming communities
I would play that in a heartbeat!
Doesn't the witcher include monsters that have a counterpart in the celtic mythology?
It is not rare for different mythologies to have different names for the same thing. For example Strigoi, vampires and lamias are essentially the same thing, except lamia is exclusively female, but still, different words from different regions for the same things.
Another example, Abhartach, a guy who fought against his people, was killed and came back from the dead to retake his kingdom and demand a blood tribute, and was later killed with a wooden sword, isn't that essentially Dracula? It is even similar to the history of Vlad the Impaler(who inspired dracula), who was sold as an infant to be tortured and raped for over a decade till he escaped and retook his kingdom, essentially returning from the dead since everyone assumed he wouldn't have endured the torture. He also fought his people lead by his relatives several times and impaled his enemies (which could be considered a blood tribute)
Just switch the names to the celtic ones and there you have your celtic game xD
There is a game called Folklore that goes into the myths a bit. It's pretty low budget, but its has an interesting story.
who voice this over you have a great voice
His name is Jim Denison :)
chara the 1st human true
Great video! Really enjoyed the information and presentation! Great work!
Amazing,i love learning mythical creatures,a sub for you!
Isn't that abetach picture Vlad Tepes the third?
yup
Yes it is.
You know it!
Aka, Vlad the impaler. Inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula
Ikr that's Vlad or also called Dracula
they have all types of mythology⬇... I have been watching all their videos and top10archive has the best mythological videos by far😎 and they are a good channel with good people, had to throw that in there.. 😁
Thanks Smirks!! :)
+Top10Archive your welcome. and thank you for the videos and time all you spend 😉
Smirks101
Maureen Rose Bacanto so.. you just like saying my screen name? Lol
Thank you for sharing another wonderful video.
Great video thank you!!
The random pics tho :)
Otherwise very fun and informative :)
number 1 killed her husband and father after they abused her... i feel like that has to happen much more... especially in a few countries
I love how melodramatic this guys voice is its super fun to listen to
Looked up how to pronounce Caorthannach, and according to most online translators, the welsh pronounce it "Cower-Thaw-Knock" or something similar to that. Also I lost my mind when I saw the Sluagh; you even used images from Legacy Of Kain, that's just glorious!!
Number five kind of sounds like the inspiration for The Hound of the Baskerville. Just saying
i agree
Yeah and Black Shuck.. A lot of English lore is actually Celtic..
And the Grim. /*
"You have the Grim!" LOL. got to admit I thought the same thing.
good god you're right lol
I remember watching a documentary at my Catholic high school about St. Patrick. They talked about how he evangelized his country, or some other boring shit. Why couldn't they have told the story of his LoTR-esque battle with the Caorthannach? THE MOTHER OF THE FUCKING DEVIL?????
Tungsten Tourniquets separation of church and state if you live in the U.S.
***** I do, and that doesn't affect the situation at all. They were still telling us a story about a saint, they could have told us this legend, even if it wasn't true. No, that's not how that works. Besides, it was a Catholic private school.
Tungsten Tourniquets OK I went to public school and I'm no longer in it either
***** For the record I don't believe in any of this stuff. It would have just been cooler to learn about a battle with the devil's mom than catholic boy's misadventures.
flip inheck Dude, I heard this stuff like 4 years ago. I don't remember it that well, just that it was boring.
Love stuff like this. Gives me more material for my stories.
I've never thought that the Banshee cry would be dreadful. Forewarning, yes, but never dreadful. From the tails I've read and heard, they seem more benevolent and comforting... though considering they are forewarnings of death, I could see why they would be considered dreadful.
Dullahan..... Was I the only one who immediately thought of Celty XD
King of Stawberry Milk don’t butcher our mythology like that
So is the Dullahan the source for the Headless Horseman myth?
15 years ago there was a video game that was part of a series called Legacy of Kain . The game was callef Soul Reaver and in the game one of the common enemies in the spectral realm are the Sluag. Its fascinating that many tv shows, movies , and video games put so much effort in finding real world myths to incorporate into their own fiction.
you guys are my favorite top 10s!
The banshee scared me shitless every time I watched Darby O'Gill and the Little People. Even now I refuse to watch it.
When I heard Banshee I instantly thought of a Halo Banshee XD
I Looooooooove the video u win +1 subsc... btw make more videos from creatures mythologycals ... like japanese or babilon, or maybe may THX 4 the nice video
I just wanted to make a comment
First Master Mavis thats great
That want will call to you a being of Forest or Sea
I just wanted to reply to your comment
What an oddly specific top 10
Haha, that's what we like to do.. xD
Celtic and Slavic mythologies are for some reason among the most overlooked mythologies in the world. Even myths of marginalized or extinct peoples like American Indians and Australian Aboriginals get better treatment both by popular and academic authors. I wonder why that's so?
most Celt myths are dead or adopted to christian beliefs then forgotten
CommanderM117 No they are not dead lol come to Ireland, wales and Scotland and if you ask you will hear about them.
False there the one of most looked at mythologies, you do not know how much they influence movies, books and games.
The thumbnail had me like:
¿Who wouldn't want to meet a beautiful semi-naked singer?
Honestly love the voice. Makes the videos more interesting.
I would definitely want to meet a Banshee! Yes. She would the last thing I would ever see before I die. I am more than aware of this. The Banshee has always been portrayed as a vibrant, beautiful woman. And I can think of worse ways to go out than seeing a scantily clad lady.
Joshua Preston actually, she is also often depicted as an old woman, so there's like a 50% chance that you'd see an ugly hag or a sexy maiden
HugMe201 I'll take my chances.
My uncle used to insist he heard the Banshee screeching down Tipperary Town Main Street one night,though he was probably romancing! You are correct about the appearance, but whatever she looked like,your man wouldn't want to meet her if he heard her first, she'd blow the eardrums out of him,hahaha!!
Not Amused 😂
Not amused :
The Dullahans' steed is called Coiste Bodhar :)
This is so interesting!
Superb ! add more bro
So, number 1 is basically a vampire...?
No
Maybe she's similar to a vampire but she's her own specific myth. There's only one of her in particular.
Jamie Bradish ah, alright, thank you! That makes a little more sense
Jayde Rosta no problem
Dearg Due is pretty much an Irish vampire. Its more of an "evil faerie" though.
Do one on the Tuatha De' Danann
So interesting! I come from Brittany, the celtic region of France, and we do have some lovely creatures from our celtic origins, wich are still feared today (breton poeple is very supersticious): 1)the Anaons: souls of dead people, they can't find peace for some reason, and hauting the lands. That's why some land of Brittany (especially cliffs) have the reputation to be dangerous: if you walk there at night, you may see an Anaon, and it will kill you. 2) Night washerwomen: they are gosts too, and every night, they wash laundry in the river, representing the souls of new-born babies, dead before baptism, and washing is supposed to purify these souls. If you disturb them, they broke your arms and drawn you into the river. 3) The most famous in Brittany: the Ankou. He is the incarnation of death, a tall, skinny man with a black cloak and a large hat, carrying a scythe with the blade upside down. With it, he separate the soul from the body, put the soul on his carriage and bring it to the other world. As the carriage is old, the wheels are creaking, doing the sound "wig-ha-wag". Breton people say: "If you hear the "wig-ha-wag", you will die before the end of the year." There are many other creatures in breton mythology, like korrigans, morganed, the ghost of Dahut, etc...and it makes this region very interesting!^^
3 of my family members who are from the O'Doherty family (An ancient family from County Donegal in Ireland) have heard the wail of a banshee. Soon after, a close friend or relative died mysteriously.
Oh bo so many new creatures to add into my D&D games to torment the players with. I thank you even if they wont.
Wow.
The picture from 8. Abhartach is in fact the picture of Vlad Tepes, Romania. ^_^
The dullahan was in an anime, Durrara where she lost her head, and her memories and most of her powers. It's really good to know what that head did, and I thought she just warned, and now I understand!!!
It's great learning about my own country's mythology 😁
The Dog of Darkness reminds me of the Grim from the Harry Potter books.
The Dullahan reminds me of the Headless Horseman from Sleepy Hollow.
Oh my god, it's like they were inspired by these old myths.
Seriously
Omggggggg same lol
2:32 looks just like vlad tepes(the inspiration for Dracula{dracul})
I love the one that uses a spine for a whip.... very nice >:)
#5 looks really cool!.
Yeah, and my freind said Irish mythology is lame, he should watch this video, *mutters* Irish mythology lame, how dare he
Have your friend watch it then Sean ;)

Hyper VelocityG Jacksepticeye?
Great video! Contrary to other channels you actually mentioned not well-known creatures. You earned a sub.
Still, isn't the portrait you showed at 2:30 a portrait of Vlad III? (the impaler). I get that the respective stories of Dracula & Vlad have similarities but still xD
Fascinating!!!
I didn't know Dracula was Irish. Gee, you learn so much from these videos.
I didn't know the three bogatyrs were Irish either.
It's no wonder the name GWYSHKEE UWU SO CUTE strikes fear into men's hearts.
How about Top 10 creatures from Inuit Mythology?
The image you use for Abhartach is actually a historical representation of Vlad Tepes, the Impaler, who is said to be the inspiration for Dracula.
This is awesome
these are Celtic Christian what about ancient Celts you know The Druids
chris williams he was only doing 10 lol
He doesn't want to bother. Besides. Some of these have recognizable origins in pre christian shit... Some... Is like a grain or an image taken from one pre christian tail to embody angels or demons etc.
no.8 looks a lot like Vlad Dragula
I think that's the picture they used
Love it, but would've loved to see the Nuckelavee and redcap included!
When you lived in cold dark rainy Britain 2500 years ago you needed story's like these to cheer the kids up.
Abhartach - The pictures are of Vlad the Impaler :)
Do 10 creatures of Anglo Saxon mythology you don't want to meet
Durarara!! Celty is a Dullahan I was just waiting to here this one
I had a dream of the owyllol last night and I'm just learning of it now.😰
Why not do a top 10 list of Celtic God and Goddesses (example: Dagda)
Sleepy Hollow dude!!!
In Iceland we have a similar mythical creature like Kelpie but its named Nykur, it's a grey-blue horse with black hair and it's hooves a backwards, it lures people with its gaze and when people go on his back they can't get of and then he drowns them in waters, lakes or the ocean
I remember reading about the kelpie as a kid.
The banshee was linked to families beginning with mc or O.
nice list... If I may suggest, please do mythical creatures of the Philippines... it's very interesting...
Thanks! We haven't covered their mythology yet, so we'll definitely add it to our list! :)
Top10Archive apparent, these animals aren't real.
Could you please do a list of North Eastern English myth and Legends if you haven't already done so.
Ya
The kelpie bridle is a golden bridle with a pure silver bit heres what you do
Paint a bridle with a pure silver bit gold and then go to find a keplie
Your welcome 😊
I'm watching this video from Sydney Australia. Kelpies are *MY FAVORITE* breed of dog. 😉 🐕🇦🇺 ▶️🐺♨️
Damn, my Irish grandma had the maiden name Kavanagh. I guess it now makes sense why all my Irish relative are the crazies lol
My favorite Celtic mythical creature are the Dearg Due and the Banshee and the Leanan Sidhe
I like these. But true Celtic mythology predates christianity and better. Some of these demons are not so before it
indeed
Elaine H He was doing a top 10 can't fit them all in.
Why are they showing a picture of Vlad the Impaler?
That Headless Horseman guy sure seems fun to have at parties!!
i love the 5th one, and the kelpy! i want them
watchmojo eat your hearts.
This channel is more entertaining, juicier topics :)
Thanks!! That means a lot to us! :)
As a Welshman, I can confidently tell you that you are butchering the Welsh names. Also, not all these creatures are from true Celtic origin.
yeah as a fellow celt lol i cringed at these pronunciations haha
Lee Thomson Oh well, what can you do?
Cut the man some slack. He's not a linguist. I'd like to see how you guys pronounce my language.
Neldidellavittoria I'm not complaining. I'm just pointing it out that's all.
We're not making a video about your culture though!
I ❤ myths so much!
good to hear this
