Why Blue Didn't Exist in the Ancient World
🕑 Added 2022-05-04 16:00:51 +0000 UTCHere's a philosophical question for you. If a color doesn't have a name, can we still see it?
Many years ago, the human eye evolved to give us the ability to see about a million colors. That's a lot.
Then how come, until very recently, nobody saw or even heard of the color blue?
Well, it's because blue just -- didn't exist yet. Let's find out why.

Unlocked but YT says 'unavailable'. Pretty sure I saw this one, can't imagine why it had to be taken down.
