OK, so that title might be a bit of an exaggeration.
However, a few months ago a had a post about these wonderful history teachers who are posting free music videos on YouTube of history topics set to popular music (check out the link for more background and some of my favorites of their videos).
They have done a couple more since my post, but my favorite is a video about the Mahabharata, the epic Indian morality tales that includes the Bhagavad Gita, the sacred text for Hinduism. It is done Indian style, with the video of the lead singer demonstrating her use of four arms.
It is great to seem them expanding from basic Western Civilization history. We are doing Hinduism in the fall, so I'm definitely saving this for my coming classes.
