We'll be releasing the new version of our Asian Royal Family Trees poster soon. Once it's ready, which country would you like to see a video about first?

Update: Thanks everyone for all the support!!! I've now turned off new comments on this post (you can still make them but they won't show up) because thanks to the ever-so-clever YouTube algorithm (/s) I'm now getting lots of inappropriate comments from non-subscribers.

VERY PERSONAL NOTE. My wife @Charlotte_Issyvoo and I are feeling very alone on this Passover night. We had been attending an adults-only Seder (holiday meal) via Zoom because we can't celebrate in person due to our medical situations. But we had to leave because the following happened:
So, as you probably know, Passover is a celebration of a people who escaped slavery. You may also know that my wife was a victim of child sex trafficking who works with others who have had this same unfortunate experience. During the Seder, the host asked what people had done to free themselves and to free others. My wife said: Well as a child sex trafficking survivor, I was a literal slave..." and was immediately cut off by the host and told that such "negative talk" would not be allowed because it makes people uncomfortable. All my wife wanted to say was that she was happy to be free and happy to be helping others. If that's not a Passover-like thing to say, I don't know what is: a literal slavery survivor talking about escaping slavery during a celebration of escape from slavery. Obviously, my wife wasn't going to go into details because yes, that could be triggering to some people. We're not new to the group though so the host should have known that that wasn't going to happen.
Anyway, we were forced to leave and made to feel so very unwelcome. So, if anyone has any nice words to say, we'd really appreciate it.

New wallchart dropping this Friday along with a video about it. Any guesses as to what it is? Hint: It's timely.
Update: Congrats to Andy Wall for being the first to guess it correctly. He wins the free chart!

I did an interview over at @MythVisionPodcast. We hit a lot of topics, including how I got into charts, why mythology isn't the same thing as fiction, and what led me to convert to Judaism.

Congrats to ATriplet123 for winning first place in our annual poster contest! As for second place, well, that was a bit of a surprise because there was a tie between the Christian Communion chart and the Classical Antiques chart. We therefore have two runner ups and I will print both, in addition to the first place chart. Charts will be printed and available sometime in early February. Stay tuned for the announcement.
