History-Makers: The Four Evangelists

In which our hero Blue jumps right the hell into one of the most complex topics in religious studies as a "breather video" after his 3-hour Roman megaproject. If spoken storytelling was good enough for the ancient rhapsodes of classical Greece, then we shouldn't be surprised when the same tools get put to use in the later Greco-Roman world. And I think that's pretty damn cool.
