[@chrisbricky7331]

Great recap, thanks for sharing your knowledge and love of the wonderful intriguing world of Archaeology.

[@chrisbricky7331]

Shared to Facebook, will share to X when I am out of X prison again. :)

[@Inside_Archaeology]

Thanks for watching!

[@AlanOfDenby]

Thank you sooo much for your clear, detailed and accurate summary of the top 2024 archaeological finds all over the world! Your channel is a RARE GEM 💎!!! No KI generated fake pics for clickbait, no KI voice, no dumb „historical“ fake news just for sensation - no: Only your professionally correct elaboration 🤩 I’m so happy to find you and your channel 💜 It’s such an satisfying experience and consumption!!! Thank you 🙏🏼

[@Finness894]

Yes. It is refreshing to not have to listen to nonsense about Aliens.

[@Inside_Archaeology]

Thank you! Finally some people get it!

[@GlenLake]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@Inside_Archaeology]

Thanks Glen!

[@trumphater3441]

I like your scientific, analytical, factual, delivery. Nice work. Carry on.

[@smitinathan]

Thanks so much for this great recap! Sharing this with my audience :)

[@WitchOracle]

I'm here from your post! Excited for a new channel to follow I especially enjoyed the find in Crete and the throne in Peru

[@Inside_Archaeology]

Thanks for all your support Smiti, I really appreciate it!

[@Inside_Archaeology]

Amazing!

[@smitinathan]

[@Inside_Archaeology]

Thank you!

[@conseulahardy6638]

Finally! a channel that is factual, clear and concise. Loved the way you broke each section down into bite sized chunks to give tantalising information and stoking my interest in multiple different areas of interest. Thank YOU!! Cant wait for more!

[@Inside_Archaeology]

Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@TheBeforewebegin]

This video is really interesting and easy to absorb! The kefir cheese discovery is my favorite, but I've been making kefir for years, so I'm biased.

[@Inside_Archaeology]

Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@Eyes_Open]

Great list. Thanks much. The Nile river survey was interesting to me.

[@Inside_Archaeology]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@talliejewls]

Awesome content! I have a hour drive to and from work. I will be playing your videos to listen to ❤

[@Inside_Archaeology]

Thank you I hope you enjoy them!

@Inside_Archaeology make us happy!

[@Imperiused]

I love these recaps, especially when comparing the choices with other videos from other channels on archeology- & history-Tube!

[@richdiddens4059]

Thoroughly enjoyable except the volume jumps are very off putting.

[@Inside_Archaeology]

[@Inside_Archaeology]

Welcome!

[@rexgehring]

I appreciate your intro! There are so many repurposed videos and images that are not necessarily interested in providing new or accurate information. Thank you so much!

[@Inside_Archaeology]

Thanks!

[@Davlavi]

Great video and love the finds. My favorite is about the scrolls.

[@Inside_Archaeology]

Thanks Davlavi!

[@petergroedvelt4236]

If you listen to this at night , you get shocked by the volume differences . So point of improvement. 😀

[@Inside_Archaeology]

[@AHLUser]

I enjoy listening to intelligent docs while working on cad drawings and 'doing' my emails..!! It seems to be a mind-enriching activity to balance the life time wasted on the computer... I prefer to listen, and enjoy science & history the most... University Lectures and Intelligent Presentations help make the hours flow and leave me with a feeling of "Mental Improvement"...!!

[@markpratt7505]

Happy New Year! The pyramids are always a favorite for me. I can never get enough information on them.

[@Inside_Archaeology]

Happy New Year to you to! Egypt is my personal fav civilization so I get it!

[@GlenLake]

Kefir cheese DNA? This is awesome! And it tracks with ancient recipes being handed down from the times when we made and consumed Rhino Kefir, lol, though who knows. At some point it was Yak Kefir. Where there is cheese there is culture. Mummified cheese? Is it cursed or just Blue?

[@karensargent3893]

I love the scroll info!

[@braxtonmay391]

Oooo subscribed!

[@normanriggs848]

Well done! Interesting, thank you.

[@neilrichardson9718]

Thanks for a really entertaining coverage of these discoveries. Question, what about the Nasca mummies? Seems to be being avoided ?! Kindest x

[@Inside_Archaeology]

You'll have to be more specific about which mummies you're talking about. There were a pair of mummies found in a Peruvian airport in Jan but they were analysed and proven to be fakes made of human and animal parts glued together. Not something I would feature since it's not a real discovery.

[@TotallyNotARobot__]

Great video. 💯

[@ValerieEdwards-e4t]

Excellent

[@tristanmills4948]

So much awesome archaeology, and only scratching the surface of 2024. Personally I am really excited by the Herculaneum scrolls and am looking forward to more being read, although I suspect it'll take years for the classicists to study them.

[@Inside_Archaeology]

It will be fantastic to see what more info we can get from them

[@ValdisFrog]

thank you thank you thank you!

[@Slyvester253]

Love the topic. I see your a Brandon Sanderson fan. I will definitely be watching more. Keep up the great work

[@Inside_Archaeology]

Thanks! Yes I do enjoy his stuff.

[@MarcoReekers01]

The building in Crete is a Burg that was seeded by the Fryan civilisation by king Minos, as described in the Oera Linda book

[@MrGaborseres]

Thank you 👍 Loved it 👍

[@Inside_Archaeology]

My pleasure 😊

[@TheRealChes]

The Cretan structure could also be a market place. Love your work! Definitely subscribing. Thank you!

[@AHLUser]

Perhaps it was a Corral for domestic animals with feed storage rooms and other farm equipment... basically a "Barn"...??

[@Inside_Archaeology]

Another interesting hypothesis!

[@junestanich7888]

I’d love to hear more about the technology used in archaeology. I’ve seen some fascinating things shown using new technology like Lidst but don’t know anything about lab science technology.

[@Inside_Archaeology]

I've got an upcoming video which has a section on aDNA and stbale isotopes, and last years 2023 discoveries video talked about tech. But great idea for further videos.

[@matthiasstrunz1343]

Thanks a lot

[@Inside_Archaeology]

Most welcome

[@bepis_ban7752]

very good!

[@Inside_Archaeology]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@AntisocialAtheist1]

This was perfect for my ride home from work

[@GlenLake]

As to Midas and the Labyrinth... The Cretans were a an entirely different culture from the Greeks, with the Greeks using a Linear B script and the Cretans using Linear Elamite. Midas is often seen wearing a Phrygian cap, perhaps this is a symbol of the differences between the cultures (obviously it is much more than solely that symbol). Now I am curious if there is any Ancient architecture similar to this in and around the area of the Zagros Mountains.

[@glendabowen-lf7oo]

Thamk you svm

[@Gebbeth]

The average width of the Nile is probably 2.8 km along its entire length, but below Aswan the riverbed is less than a kilometer wide. Even the sections where there is an island in the middle I could not quickly find wider than 2 km.

[@kalrandom7387]

Nice job, thanks for the info.

[@Inside_Archaeology]

Thanks!

[@kalrandom7387]

@Inside_Archaeology I do wish you would flip the screen aspect ratios to show more of the information.

[@Inside_Archaeology]

Ideally I would like to show the image in full screen then have it transition shrink to what you see in my vids. My editor doesn't have that capability, that I've found, but if people keep watching maybe I'll be able to afford adobe premier pro to take things to the next level this year!

[@kalrandom7387]

@Inside_Archaeology that would look good, I can't send ya money, but I did sub and will watch ya. Best of luck to ya, here's hope for the best in a new year.

[@jerry-xi4gi]

i have been looking for this channel since Nazareth won the cup..🤣 THANK YOU..🙏🤘😎

Like the` second river news.

[@MARKETMAN6789]

Ive been to chichinista in mexico and i sat on a stone and was mesmorised by loads of huge ants in a line carrying food to their nest it was better than listening to a guide trying to tell you about the myans playing a game where they tried to score a goal by throwing a head through a ring on a wall .they must of thought i was born yesterday

[@MrBigdaddy2ya]

Crete structure looks like the foundation for probably a temple with a elevated structure on top likely with pillars that align with stars or sun.

[@Inside_Archaeology]

AH that's a good hypothesis

[@Carlo1629-b3e]

So, about Plato and the site of Herculaneum, it seems that it is confirmed, one more time, how intertwined were the Greek and Roman civilizations, we already knew about myths and gods and architecture, etc. , I find it interesting.

[@Inside_Archaeology]

The Romans really idolised and saw themselves as the successors of the Greeks. It is very interesting!

[@MediaFaust]

I'm not sure there is any meaningful distinction between religion, science, politics and "general culture" in ancient Egypt.

[@Inside_Archaeology]

Good point!

[@Ithinkthereforeiam-ph9nb]

I agree with you. i! ancient Egypt religion was science, culture was politics, and rulers were considered literally living gods. Ancient Egypt gave us everything - architecture, writing, religion, science, laws and rules.

[@neva_nyx]

Great video, but the sound needs some regulation. Its loud then quiet then loud. Very distracting.

[@Inside_Archaeology]

Thanks I'm working on it!

[@kyleriv]

Nice recap. FYI the pronunciation of Cenote is “say·now·tay”.

[@Inside_Archaeology]

Noted, thanks!

[@kira_draws_and_digs]

it's interesting to see what different archaeologists believe are the "top" discoveries of the year. I watched the other one, which shared some news (e.g. footprints), but most of the discoveries were different. For example, he paid attention to the site in South America with sloth and human footprints and the artifacts, that is, between 20-30 ka. Or, he talked about the estimation of aDNA mix between Neanderthals and sapiens for Europe, based on Bacho Kiro and Zlaty Kun caves, and how people there were closely related... and so on. Anyway, very interesting, thank you for your work.

[@Inside_Archaeology]

There's so much going on it's really hard to pick just 10! You could make a much longer video/list very easily.

When i saw a flood in 3 days carve a mountain canyon clear of trees soil and rocks and carve 20ft into the mountain of a waterfall told me the pyramids were beside the nile at on time and the flood made it happen

[@jamesleonard2870]

Let’s dig in =]

[@adrianturner5803]

A canal might hint at how the stones were brought to Giza but that doesn't tell us how they were lifted up.

[@jerry-xi4gi]

or how they were cut, shaped, moved, fitted and finished in flat, smooth, white cover stones in 20 years by the inscription specialists the Egyptians, with no inscriptions..🤣🤡🌍🙏🤘😎

[@joemendyk9994]

It's not supposed to.....

[@angelwings1979]

Plato could have died from lice. It is very rare but technically possible. The lice can cause anemia and if not treated then anemia can kill you. A few years ago, an incredibly sad story, made the news. A 12 year old girl, whose lice was never treated, died from a heart attack triggered by severe anemia caused by a lice infestation. I could imagine that death by lice was more common in Plato’s time. Today we have the ability to treat lice very early on and if you do get anemia, we have a test that can easily detect and treat it. So it’s almost unheard of for lice to be fatal.

[@Inside_Archaeology]

Very interesting! Out of the three possible deaths however I still find it the least likely but good to know it's possible!

[@monopolfilms]

This is "right up my trench!" thanks.

[@Inside_Archaeology]

Glad you liked the pun!

[@tonyaxeman4381]

It is all good.

[@GlenLake]

7,000 BCE in Turkey? Ahhh... the old neighborhood, back in the good old days... Did mothers bronze their sons boots back in the Chalcolithic period? They had to take up sheep and goat herding after the demise of the Woolly Rhino. Can you imagine the cheeses they were making from Woolly Rhino milk? The uncooked bread may have been the Wort and it is possible that they were making beer as well as bread near that oven.

[@leftpastsaturn67]

Please address the sound issues... one section is quiet, the next very loud etc.

[@Inside_Archaeology]

I think I've 90% fixed it for the next video (filmed the same day) and I've the mic feature on the camera so hopefully I can have it 100% fixed when I next film.

[@leftpastsaturn67]

@@Inside_Archaeology Good news, it was the only thing that let the video down.

[@bertieschitz-peas429]

Do archologists get mini trowels on graduating or is it a normal trowel that wears down as they scrape?

[@Inside_Archaeology]

No grad gifts unofrtunately but lots of us have normal trowels that wear down, if you manage not to lose it in the mud. It's a point of pride for many.

[@dandeehart9553]

Welp so much for having the -stable volume button engaged underneath the T⚙⚙LS drop down menu, because evidently it doesn’t work 😏 because your narration would frustratingly BOOST UP by idk 5+ but sound also echoey

[@Inside_Archaeology]

Apologies! It's my new camera, still figuring out the settings, I think I have the mic up too high but then it also has an auto balancing that would kick in after a few seconds. It's really difficult to fix in editing. But I think I know how to fix the setting and I was able to mostly fix it in the next video.

So Plato basically said "It don't mean a thing if it aint got that swing. These damn slavers nowadays and their Devil music."

[@GlenLake]

Breaking Bread and Breaking Ground, glad to be alive in 2025! So we can trust in your Archeological training? OK, but have you been taught and certified in the field of Top 10 formation? I attended but did not graduate from Letterman U and as a result I can only compile lists no greater than 7. "Right up your trench..." lol, that sounds like an insult from World War One. The 1.5 million year old fossilized footprints of two different hominid communities is incredible and fascinating. It would seem that both clans were using this game trail. What do you know about the non trace evidence, if any, that these folks left in the general area? When you mentioned avoidance of each other, I started to reflect on the "different hominoids" situation and arrived at an unexpected thought. Did we change and grow as a species, in a highly significant manner, in response to competition and predation from other hominid groups over an incredibly long period of time? Could the Human menstruation cycle be linked to these pressures? The mixture of Neanderthal and Denisovian DNA, and possibly others, certainly speaks to shared habitat or spaces of shared habitat, like a lake or game trail. I don't think the clans got along with each other, to put it mildly. The intense interactions between them made us who we are today.

[@christosvoskresye]

I'm not really sure about part of the last story. Sure, the Mayans were sacrificing Mayans. Did anyone expect them to be sacrificing Eskimos? But I seriously doubt the populations have been stable enough for a comparison with modern populations to identify the precise Mayan populations from which they came.

[@Inside_Archaeology]

I think it's more the idea that they were capturing and sacrificing non-Mayans, which I think is more of an Aztec thing to do. They were able to trace genetic connections between the children and modern populations in the area. There was also a fascinating bit about tracing disease and relisience against European diseases which i didn't have time to get into. My original interview has more.

[@christosvoskresye]

@@Inside_Archaeology The sacrificed children obviously were born within walking distance -- say, 100 miles -- of the site where they were sacrificed. Given how human populations mix, together with the fact that the area did not experience a Trail of Tears-type ethnic cleansing, I would expect the locals to be related to both the sacrificed and the sacrificers. And, yes, I would expect the same of the native population of Mexico City: they probably have ancestors who were Aztecs and also ancestors who were the victims of the Aztecs, in much the same way ethnic English have Celtic, Saxon, and Norman ancestors.

[@clints7834]

Cenote is not pronounced see-note. It's pronounced sen-o-tay. Cenote is a Spanish word derived from the Maya words D'zonot or Ts'onot.

[@jaimecastells4283]

Are twins less common in modern Mayan populations than human averages? It sounds like they may have been systematically breed twins out of there genepool.

[@Inside_Archaeology]

I have no idea, but it's about a 1 in 250 chance for naturally occuring identical twins so it's perhaps not as rare as you think given that Chichen Itza's pre-columbian population is estimated to have been around 35 000.

You need to slow down on your delivery. The rapid fire approach is not only annoying but difficult to follow. What is suppose to be interesting is actually confusing because you go too fast for the average listener. It’s not a race so don’t act like it’s one. Thanks.

[@edwardfletcher7790]

@Inside_Archaeology You're using a 3rd grade vocab and talking like the audience are Toddlers. It's Archaeology, your audience is exclusively well educated adults and teenagers doing assignments....

[@tankertom3243]

Why are you still saying B.C.E.? Since it references the exact same time period adding a spare letter is needless, sounds clumsy and petty.

[@Inside_Archaeology]

Because it's a neutral term and thus is more widely applicable to all of history from all over the world.

[@tankertom3243]

@@Inside_Archaeology No, it is still referencing the exact same time frame, just with needless letters. It is not neutral, it is annoying.

[@Inside_Archaeology]

By using the terms Before Common Era and Common Era it makes it neutral by avoiding naming Jesus as Christ and Lord (Anno Domini means 'Year of our Lord'). Personally I prefer not to apply Christian terms to all of human history when not all of history is Christian.

[@tankertom3243]

@@Inside_Archaeology If you re-read my point it is not about religion, it was about a time frame, you made it about religion. So what historical event is BCE based on? You make a good point, why is all of humanity based on the time frame of Jesus? Why not one of the other dozens of gods out there? Why stumble around with unneeded words and letters for the same time frame? It just sounds clumsy.

How exactly is forbidden archaeology more beneficial? What exactly has it done if its forbidden?

[@jerryanderson3031]

Lsc

[@MT-ub8qg]

I so wanted to like this channel but video opens with I'm an authority so its all real and keeps using term "real archeology"..... Incredibly disappointing as base arguments from authority are not remotely compelling. You do a great job with edits but you are just reading off a sheet and not speaking from your understanding. Great example of why we don't trust people who lean on authority for validation. I do hope your channel does well, but I hope you might consider allowing your content to speak for itself and never again use the term "Real archeology"

[@Inside_Archaeology]

I mean I back everything I list up with sources in the description. I read from a script through a teleprompter because organising my thoughts in advance makes for a better video that is easier to edit because I make less mistakes. My scripts are all researched and written by me in advance so I can make sure I'm giving relevant information. What does 'speak from your understanding' even mean? Ad-libbing?

[@MT-ub8qg]

@Inside_Archaeology I am fairly certain you know exactly what Im getting at. I'll give you all the credit in the world for the effort you obviously put into this video, but it does come across like you are a news broadcaster reading a teleprompter and not speaking from your understanding of those findings. You could tell a marked difference in your delivery of your favorite item on the list. It's just a bit of constructive criticism in the context of you using the term "real archeology. " I think you have tremendous potential. I have a similar background to yours but went into architecture. I have traveled the world and attended many lectures by archeologists, and nothing is more obnoxious or throws up a bigger red flag than a need to preface a presentation by using the term "real archeology". Either your findings and data are compelling, or they aren't. One person is not the arbiter of what is "real" I have a passion for archeology, but I ultimately left it for architecture not just because its easier to earn a living but was also in no small part because it is overrun with affluent ideologes more interested in being an authority than objectivity, collaboration or admission that other interpretations of data might hold merit. Because let's face it, more than half of all published findings are drawing highly subjective conclusions from limited data sets. It's far from a hard science, but it is what it is, and solving mysteries by attention to the smallest clues is what makes it a rather exciting field. I would hope you don't fall prey to an elitist attitude that turns people off in droves because I think you otherwise have a wide appeal. Let's not forget that the majority of significant findings have occurred by utilizing the knowledge of amateurs, common people herding animals, or accounts from indigenous people's in poor communities. You want them to work with you, and it doesn't benefit anyone to talk down to them. Best of luck
