The title of this video is misleading. How is this video on the origins of the Encyclopedia when they only speak on an encyclopedia from France in the 1700s. What about the Naturalis Historia, by Pliny the Elder, published in 77AD or the Etymologiae, by Saint Isodore of Seville, published around the year 600-625 in Spain? The Etymologiae was the most important collection of knowledge in Europe for over 400 years! Those two encyclopedias are some of the earliest known and potentially there could have been earlier encyclopedias no longer known from ancient Greece, India, China, Egypt, Persia etc. Not to mention that there were many others we know of that were published before the Encyclopedia made by Diderot.

Diderot would be pleased to know that that article about aguaxima caused me to look it up on Wikipedia. A few hundred years later, that article made me learn something. :)

I would imagine this still goes on. We think we know so much now but the elites probably have secret knowledge they don't want us to know.

That Aguaxima article reads like something Douglas Adams would have wrote as an entry in the hitchhikers guide for the galaxy.
