I am going to start featuring videos from this very interesting and educational YouTube channel called Rare Earth. 

Rare Earth is hosted by Evan Hadfield, son of famous Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield who is a producer of the series.

These videos feature interesting and important pieces of history from around the world as Evan and his videographer Francesco Petitti travel to places that I will probably never get to see in real life. 

In this first video we learn about an very important story and legend to the nation of Japan: the 47 Ronin. 

Check out the video below and leave me a comment to let me know what you think about this new series!
