Can you please consider making a video dedicated to the Solutreans and their evolution into what ppl now call native Americans. Cuz we all know they came to the Americans from France via the ice sheets like at 8:23. It’s becoming a more likely event as time goes by and as evidence is found both in France and America. I live in America so I perhaps have more knowledge on this but academia is changing rapidly my friends. All the evidence for the Clovis culture points to Solutreans migration. They have high cheekbones and large jaws like modern Germanic peoples so these features also prevailed to this day among many Americans who called this place home for thousands of years. Not to forget the unusually high percentage of Celtic DNA found in nearly all native Eastern American peoples.

According to GEDmatch DNA I should have blue eyes...and I have hazel eyes. Is it possible that the many years may have 'faded' his eye colour?

I find the argument that they were ancient self-figures of women quite compelling.
@connorpollock6087Сағат бұрын
One of my favorite theories regarding the Venus figurines is that they typically represent older women. Rather than illustrating voluptuousness and fertility, they represent a body thickened and sagging from age. This could then be thought to represent a mother (or grandmother) goddess, a tribal elder (being non-Indo-European, we don't know that they were so heavily patriarchal, even if they appear to have been patrilocal), or even a charm-carry an aged figure to channel magic that lets one reach so advanced an age.

This explains a very deep seated love for wolves, and later clans, and warriors. This explains the feeling some of us European men feel deep inside. The feeling of wanting to go to war, and fight. It makes you feel alive.

It’s not like French high nobility and their royals didn’t use political trials and trumped up charges to rob their enemies of riches. Doesn’t this sound familiar to what King Philip did with Templars?

ARYAN INVASION/MIGRATION DEBUNKED =================================++ Specifically, the Aryans Invasion or Aryan Migration into India has been thoroughly debunked. The Yamnaya people stayed in the Steppes for thousands of years and never created the Sanskrit language. Then without any evidence, Western historians all that of a sudden say the Yamnaya people travelled thousands of miles in chariots , including through mountain areas, to reach India. Then the really daft thing is, Western historians want the world to believe that these people gave India the near perfect sophisticated language called SANSKRIT ....which frankly is laughable. Makes you wonder why the Yamnaya people from the Steppes did not create the Sanskrit language when they lived for thousands of years in the Steppes. The Rig Vedas are dates back more than 5,000 years abs is written in Sanskrit. So the people of the Steppes DID NOT CREATE SANSKRIT & DID NOT DEVELOP THE HIGHLY, HIGHLY SOPHISTICATED VAST TEXTS CALLED RIG VEDAS. As stated , why did they not create Sanskrit language and create the Rig Vedas when they lived for thousands of years in the Steppe???

many of the burial items and reconstructions look very much like the modern Sami people. probably a case of similar environments and lifestyles more than heritage, but still interesting

About 20 years ago there was a BBC Horizon documentary (I believe) that presented Solutrean type tools - thin symmetrical limestone spear points that could be thrown long distances. The key point about the documentary was that they were found in Eastern USA. I'm not sure if that's something you've heard too, and if there is far more research or even corrections on the topic?

Perhaps the hoards were for going to war and were put down for preservation. I agree the ones outside the Halls likely meant they did not bring their weapons inside. Perhaps because alcohol was served. Something would have had to happen fast for all these to end up unused. Perhaps they were the ones pushed south as the sea people by something from the North or East

One other example that comes to mind is the tradition of unburring the dead in Madagascar after a period of time. Actual Yucatec Mayas in Mexico also dig-up the bone of their dead, not to eat them, but to perform secondary burial, a common tradition around the world. I love your videos. Great work!!

Why do the pictures of his brother and grandfather look like a mid black metal album cover? Those aren't paintings from the period. They certainly aren't photos the actual people lol. Are those re-enactors in pictures that are black and white just to make them look metal?

Fantastic! So good to see 'cave men" looking so stylish! Despite the difficult environment, I think that the Venus figures show that these people valued, and aspired to their best life: beautiful clothes, ornaments, bodies. Their stories, songs and partying must have been amazing too!

Great video, but there's a logical fallacy at 11:12: The small figurines aren't necessarily life-like representations indicating the existence of people with larger body mass. As you note in the Venus figurine section, they may have been symbol or "magical," for instance, intended to promote abundance.

Interesting. Maybe they haven't found many women buried, is because they fed them up in case they ran out of food. .

Neolithic people started making figurines of voluptuous women too but there was a large gap of time and geography between the two and it's an open question whether they are related in any way or independent developments.
