I was in high school in mid 90s. My earth science teacher played these episodes and I only remember being bored, hated taking notes. As an adult I became a lover of science documentaries, especially from this era like Cosmos. Youth is wasted on the young.

1:49 “You told me this would be a voice over. I jolly well can’t memorize all this” “How about cue cards?” “No - that will look ridiculous - I won’t be looking at the camera” “How about we put the cards at your feet? It will look like you’re being contemplative…” “Oh…very well”

I used to look for the most recent dates on such documentaries, assuming they would be adding the latest discoveries on a certain topic. Now, I look for videos like this. 90% of new science videos are plagiarized and compiled by half-educated people. The giveaway is robotic voices which mispronounce place names and foreign words.

Clays from different regions created different composite materials. Mesopotamian bitumen was different from Indian Bitumen. Clay was the same. Not hard to imagine setting up a campfire atop a clay deposit and the area was hardened. you could have done a lot with that knowledge.

Hmm... repeated open campfire on the same metal rocks would have deformed it eventually as the surface molecular bonding would have had repeated stresses... one time campfires to produce some slag? nope... repeated use of same rocks = most definitely. So you cannot do this observational science experiments on only 1 instance for pete's sake. just bring out some copper ores with high copper content and you'll see for yourself what repeated high temperature exposure would do to it.

@alexburke1899 21 күн бұрын
The mistake a lot of the newer documentaries make is they think we want to see the documentary hosts do reenactments and experiments. Like it’s impossible for them to make a castle documentary without building a trebuchet or putting together some cannon vs a random wall footage that they had to film at a gun range lol. Ironically it also made documentaries more expensive and less informative because they tried to make scripted drama part of documentaries. The word documentary has lost all meaning anyway because KZbin lists ancient alien conspiracy videos and religious myth conspiracies under the genre of documentary. So we can’t blame people for believing some wild conspiracies actually happened if it’s sold to people as a documentary and not fiction lol.

5:25 We now know that the iron in Tutankhamun's dagger is of meteoric origin! Interestingly, the Egyptians themselves called iron the "metal of the sky", it's very possible that they discovered it while investigating a meteor impact site

It should be noted that the term alchemy is Arabic in origin and part of European lexicon as a consequence of African (Moorish) occupation up until the tenth century. This means that the influences of the alchemists was African and Arab. And important to say this when tracing the history of our understanding of the universe.

I love to play prediction games with these videos like I played paleolithic games as a kid. I watched this one because I'm studying the lithic cultures and was wondering about early metals. Volcano deposits will have semi to pure metal exposed, and meteors and other earth moving erosion revealing long seams seem obvious. I speculated that soft metals like lead, silver and gold could melt at the 600+ degree campfire stone possibility. But the intense heat and anaerobic conditions required a kiln.. So, pretty blue stones reveal red metal on the inside of the kiln and not the outside, etc. Fun prediction game!

I see alot of comments on here expressing outrage over the Persian barbarism. But those people seem to forget the mindset of the Greeks at the time. They regarded most people who weren't Greek as barbarians just as the Romans. If you weren't Greek you weren't civilized and therefore a barbarian.

These productions or documentaries should be required to watch for all middle school kids to give them a sense and appreciation for the incremental builditive aspect of societal development - it would be motivating if not inspirational and obviously educational but most importantly tamp down the dismissive casual attitude many people have about the technological complexity that makes life livable
