Of course like most historians you've got no idea about Australia and the fact that we had cave paintings that were a lot more important and showed people from 40,000 years ago not 4000 . What went on downunder is simply too confusing for the scientist so they just ignore us

@dylanhimes1514 Ай бұрын

When it comes to cave paintings and people going “what do these mean?”, isn’t it possible people are looking way too deep into it? Think about it, outside of hunting and breeding, there wasn’t a whole lot to do. I like to think some cave guy just got bored, realized he could draw with rocks and just wanted to break the boredom with no deeper meaning lol. We think it was ritualistic, he thought “I drew a pretty wolf lol”

@doomy_mcdoomerson 24 күн бұрын

Yeah, but, like, what do they mean?

@novavortex7763 6 күн бұрын

You're not wrong, same could be said for buildings we can't explain, modern day humans build a lot of crap.. I like to think we just build stuff for the sick of building stuff. maybe that's what the stonehenge actually is someone got really bored and put together a pile of rocks, and moved on, not caring about future peoples thinking about. If I could make something to throw of future humans and make them spend lots of time trying to figure out what it meant, would I? Yeah probably, because we have a sick sense of humor.

I recall a documentary on Neanderthals that talked about the mortality rate for women giving birth was too dangerous for them to be sustainable. There was also evidence that the women folk could not give birth inside the cave, which greatly contributed to the death rate.

Gobekli Tepe is more than a temple complex, there is a city whose architecture is unique. Even more puzzling is that the evidence shows that the whole place was deliberately abandoned and buried. At least one relief appears to show the comet strike in the North Atlantic which had a profound effect on the climate.

While I realize that the Earth's Children (Clan of the Cave Bear) series by Jean Auel is historical fiction, she put a TON of research into her books which take place roughly 30000 years ago around the time the Neanderthals started to disappear. She has some fascinating theories and explanations for many of the unsolved prehistoric mysteries in this video.

@VDOTU5 I'm with you on this one. I recently learned why they arent digging up more of gobeckli tepe, some Egyptian archeological sites, etc. It is bc they are saving some for future generations to discover. So. Basically they are not learning everything we could right now bc they want to save some for future generations to dig up. Wtf dig it up already. Future generations will find new stuff or move on to new discoveries. It's so much bs

I don’t understand why the settling of the American’s is supposed to be such a mystery. Australia was settled 60.000 years ago and was never connected to Eurasia. So were many islands. First people out of Africa settled along the coasts of the Indian Ocean. People must have had boats way before Beringia fell dry.
