Today, we return to the wonderful and wacky world of Shintoism, where our old pal Okuninushi finally wised up to his brother's antics and now seeks shelter from the God of Storms Susanoo. However, shortly after meeting the God's daughter, he may have stumbled into more than he bargained for.

Low-brow? Of course it is, this is Messiahs and Mythology. One of the greatest achievements in human history has been our solution to the issue of fecal matter and the disposal thereof, and so, it only makes sense that our ancestors (obsessed with animism as they are) should seek to deify some of these more unmentionable aspects of human existence.

Well, that took a while didn't it? Not much more to say about the big snake (at least until I decide to do a video on the other myths he involved in.) Thanks again for all the support. If we keep growing at this ridiculous rate, I might actually have the Fenrir video out by the end of this year. Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/messiahsandmy...

The Nihon Shoki and the Nihongi are the same book, and in the Nihongi, yes, Tsukiyomi did kill Uke Mochi. I was lead astray by this because the original translation of the Nihongi I read for this video did some sort of weird thing where they combined the Kojiki and the Nihongi together into a hosh-posh of conflicting sources. However, my theory still stands about Prince Toneri using this book as a method of elevating his status as part of the royal family, and I would rather like to believe it was Susanoo who killed Uke Mochi just simply because his asking her for food, as well as his previously-established temper makes a lot more sense than Tsukiyomi (who did absolutely nothing this entire time in the Kojiki) randomly asking her for food, and also being married to his sister. Now onto more minor details… there aren’t much… Some sources claim that the eight-headed serpent (Yamatta no Orochi), was really a dragon. However, I went back to the Kojiki and again, it said it was a serpent, not explicitly a dragon. The liquor the foot-rubbing old man used to intoxicate the snake was sake (kind of obvious). Inada’s age wasn’t specified, but considering that this was ancient Japan where there really weren’t too many laws on this, we can assume she was pretty young (unfortunately). The first emperor of Japan’s name was Jimmu and he was the great-grandson of Amaterasu (and supposedly Tsukiyomi, but not really).
