The Strange Tale of Jeffersons Mammoth Cheese
The birth of America. Palaeontology. Oversized dairy products. Believe it or not, there's a connection. Even more bizarre, it shines a new light on the American mindset.
Join me as I delve into Thomas Jefferson's mammoth obsession and a whole load of related topics. Too many related topics, probably. This video started with one fact but I kept digging my own rabbit hole of historical weirdness. Hopefully the end result is fun enough to justify its lack of direction.
