Cannabis sativa has been cultivated by humans for thousands of years both as a narcotic and also for making hemp fabrics. Brand new genetic and archaeological evidence places the original domestication event in China, but indicates that the plant was mainly spread by Indo-European peoples such as the Yamnaya and the Scythians. Cannabis was used in the funerary and religious rites in many pagan religions as well as in ancient Jewish rites in Israel.

My name is Tom Rowsell, I'm a historian, writer and film maker from England. In my professional career I have worked as a journalist and an international Science Communications specialist.

I started Survive the Jive™ blog in 2007 after I graduated with a BA in Media and Communications. Since 2009, the blog posts and videos of Survive the Jive™  focus to look more at mythology, spirituality and folklore. I got a Master’s degree in Medieval History at UCL in 2012, which greatly expanded my ideas on such subjects, particularly in regards to the values and religions of my Anglo-Saxon and Norse ancestors. 
My shows are based on thorough interdisciplinary research, drawing from archaeology, linguistics, historical sources, comparative mythology and population genetics - particularly archaeogenetics. 
The best way to learn about who I am and what I stand for is by watching my videos.

A nevem Tom Rowsell, történész, író és filmkészítő vagyok Angliából. Szakmai pályafutásom során újságíróként és nemzetközi tudományos kommunikációs szakemberként dolgoztam.
2007-ben indítottam el a Survive the Jive™ blogot, miután elvégeztem a média és kommunikáció (BA) szakot. 2009 óta a Survive the Jive™ blogbejegyzései és videói inkább a mitológiára, a spiritualitásra és a folklórra összpontosítanak. 2012-ben mesterdiplomát szereztem középkori történelemből az UCL-en, ami nagyban kibővítette az ilyen témákkal kapcsolatos elképzeléseimet, különös tekintettel angolszász és skandináv őseim értékeire és vallásaira. 
Műsoraim alapos interdiszciplináris kutatásokon alapulnak, régészetből, nyelvészetből, történelmi forrásokból, összehasonlító mitológiából és populációgenetikából - különösen archeogenetikából - merítve. 
A legjobb módja annak, hogy megtudd, ki vagyok és mit képviselek, ha követed a műsoromat.
