:01:00

The Mifulu represent
a fascinating example

:01:03

of failed culture.
The people of the Mifulu

:01:06

communicated
entirely in rhyme,

:01:08

although that's actually
less impressive than it sounds,

:01:11

because their language
only contained one vowel.

:01:15

Also, if you've
noticed,

:01:17

the only artifacts
we've been able to unearth

:01:19

are primitive musical
instruments.

:01:21

The Mifulus had
plenty of drums,

:01:24

guitars, harmonicas
and the like,

:01:26

but no weapons
or tools.

:01:29

So, in essence,
they had rhythm, they had music,

:01:33

but they had no
hammers and spears,

:01:36

so they died.

:01:38

In any case, this brings us
to the final room of the tour

:01:41

and my personal
favorite-

:01:43

The Hall
of Norse Mythology.

:01:48

This is Odin,

:01:50

chief divinity of the entire
Norse pantheon--

:01:53

"The Allfather"
as he's called--

:01:55

and these paintings depict
some of Odin's many sons.

:01:58

That is Thor,
God of Thunder,

:02:00

with his mighty hammer.

:02:02

And this is Balder,
God of Beauty.

:02:04

Who's that ugly guy?

:02:06

Oh, I was just
about to get to him.

:02:08

That's Loki,
Norse God of Mischief.

:02:11

He was also known
as "The Trickster."

:02:13

As the youngest
son of Odin,

:02:16

Loki was the black sheep
of the Norse mythological family.

:02:19

His constant
mischievous pranks

:02:21

were an endless source
of embarrassment

:02:23

to his father
and his siblings.

:02:25

He was, in other words,
a bratty little brother.

:02:29

And Loki's ultimate tool
of mischief was this,

:02:32

the mask
which he created

:02:34

and tossed down to earth
thousands of years ago

:02:36

to create mayhem among the mortals.
For, according to legend,

:02:40

the wearer of the mask is imbued
with the powers of Loki himself.

:02:43

- Is that true?
- No, of course not.

:02:46

If it were, I'd be
wearing it myself.

:02:48

No, no, it's textbook
mythical allegory.

:02:51

Loki represents
the "id,"

:02:53

the suppressed parts
of ourselves,

:02:55

and the mask is the tool
which unleashes the id.

:02:57

I go into this very topic
in my critically acclaimed book.
