About Handorial

A whiteboard, a marker, and the beliefs you were handed as facts.

What this is

Handorial takes something almost everyone believes — bulls hate red, we use ten per cent of our brain, Vikings wore horned helmets — writes it on a board, crosses it out, and draws what is actually true next to it. Every claim is checked before it is drawn, and the sources are published with the video.

It is made for curious adults and families watching together. Not a children's channel and not a lecture: the goal is that you finish a five-minute video with one belief corrected and one thing you want to tell someone at dinner.

The hand

There is one character, and it is a hand. It draws every frame of every video, from the first line to the last — no stock footage, no slideshow of stills. When the topic calls for it the hand changes: a wing, a paw, a tentacle. The marker never leaves the frame.

Long videos and short ones

The long explainer is the real thing — one myth, taken apart properly. The shorts are cut from it, not written separately, which is why they hold together on their own: each one starts by stating the belief before arguing with it.

Why myths

Because a wrong belief is a better hook than a right fact. You already have an opinion about whether bulls see red, so the first ten seconds do not have to fight for your attention — and the correction sticks, because you watched it replace something.

Who is behind it

Handorial is published as a channel, not as a personality. That means the thing you are asked to trust is not a face but a method: what was claimed, whether it held up, and where you can check it yourself. That method is written down in full on how we check things.
