He's my friend. He's a smart guy. I respect him and yes He really is actually that exuberant and energetic and Jolly in real life. He's not putting on an act That's actually him so no matter what thank you nick for being on the show on also very quickly in the episode we accidentally said Eurozone, but we meant to say European union in demographics, and I misspelled Moyer but anyway today, we're going to talk about hungary swag so don't click away because I you know why hehe Before we jump in I don't know if you guys noticed I changed up all the thumbnails for flag Friday the old ones are just tacky they look too Similar to the country episodes also.

You're like. Oh dang There's a lot of stuff going on on that little crown thing the coat of arms was instated after Communist rule ended in 1990 and is made up of a shield split into two parts the left featuring the arpad stripes for red and for silver representing the Four main Rivers of the country the Danube the Tisa the drama and the Sava the right side contains a double cross on a red base placed on a gold crown on top of three hills Representing the three mountain ranges at top Tera Mastana and Fatahna now we get to the Incredibly detailed crown on top the crown is derived from the holy crown of Hungary also known as the crown of St. Stephen which is a real crown that you can see on display in the hungarian parliament building today the crown depicts precious stones and pearls on top of a golden frame with intricately carved patterns adorned with various Images of angels possible's of Jesus and Jesus himself the interesting part though is the crooked cross there are many legends such as its supposedly Symbolizing the tilt of the Earth's axis or someone on the royal staff dropping it accidentally while trying to store it away Or maybe the austrians did it or one of the kings was Careless and did it himself either way nobody really?
