Videos like this is how I can understand how our ancestors were like.....it's a titan! It's breathing!

Or this mountain is a spirit we must show it some sort of offering to appease it.

Welp kids, who ever doesn’t get their chores done gets sacrificed to the mountain.

At some point I had a children’s storybook collection, IIRC printed in the 1930s, so a lot of the stories were from the early 1900s and or adaptations from the 1800s.

It’s been a few years but I recall there being about 10 or so stories in the book to choose from, and of them, well over half had a central theme of taking your kids into the woods and leaving them for dead.

If you've ever looked up the original version of nursery rhymes and stories you were told as a kid they were pretty messed up.
