Finding the First Floridians: Underwater Archeologists Uncover Florida’s Prehistory FULL DOCUMENTARY

[@6ixtymiles]

As a paleo-archaeology geek, I've known of and followed the various archaeological studies of these sites as they've progressed over the years. But to have them all combined in an up to date synopsis like this is wonderful. Thank you to all involved in this project for your worthy effort. ¡Bravo!

[@pedenmk]

I love archeology and science. I wish I had become one when I was young. Thanks gentlemen. Thanks for sharing.

[@Alanaml6182]

I wish I could give more than one like! So happy to see this! I've floated down the Ichetucknee many times. There are so many not very well known ancient sites here, thank you for giving ancient Florida a spotlight!

I have a cool site. Own all the property around the largest spring in FL (and world) for 44 years. Deeper than Wakulla and 2x larger cfs. Deep enough to be a open karst window spring during the ice ages. Currently has a large wet bog site on the spring run that could preserve better than windover according to PH. Has the highest land in FL that is next to water. Coolest of all no one knows about it or has dug it. Also was the capitol of the Timucua.

I live in South Georgia and never knew Florida use to be so much larger thanks for the video!

There was a mastodon skull and flint tool dredged from the Chesapeake Bay that was dated to 22,000 years old in 1974. Look up the details. It is largely ignored because these educated "researcher" can't except the fact that in that one oyster dredge had the skull and flint tool but it can't be from the same age,right?

Thats awesome! My cousin works for a southern archaelogy organaization. She told us of the bog bodies near Titusville. Please protect the wildlife habitat from developers in Wild Florida.

Great video❤ y'all are just awesome! Thank you for your tenacity❤

[@justinwolfe4751]

Awesome and informative thank you so much . Sharing to my archeological societys page...

[@dubselectorr345]

The Younger Dryas era cataclysm was around 11500BC and there is evidence all around the world of an advanced society that was capable of monumental stonework that we cannot achieve today. There are ruins off the coasts of many shores, Yanaguni Japan, Nan Madol in Micronesia, the list goes on. The diagram you show in the beginning of the video shows just how much more landmass there was in these times. Not only that, but it is confirmed the Sahara Desert in Africa was a thriving green oasis and must of looked vastly different and hosted a plethora of life. Of which, the sand to this day still covers the vast majority. Occasionally they dig near Egypt. There is not one dig that came up empty handed. We have BARELY scratched the surface of our past.

Subtitles don't match video, at all. Good video, starting to look in interesting places

[@michellelester243]

Now I want to watch the video that the subtitles are for and learn about distinct Suwannee points!

[@DoogiesEarthworks]

Cool video, thanks for posting.

[@sniddley]

Excellent presentation, thanks.

Born and lived in w central Florida for 55 years. I have boxes of fossils, megalodon teeth, hand scrapers, arrow heads and pottery shards that I’ve found all around the state, in my travels. My prized piece is a very large hand scraper tool that’s black flint and I found it during low tide in Tampa Bay about 50 yards offshore, in the mud. Fits so perfectly in the hand

[@brucegoodall3794]

Do you know Polk County ANNIE 🤔

[@pedenmk]

Wow. What a great find.

[@anthonyv6962]

Thank you for sharing this with us. I would be interested in seeing more from the continental shelf exploration. If anyone can recommend a source it would be appreciated.

[@hemlockshrooms2786]

cool documentary. nice to see this field is gaining interest. something's gone terribly wrong with the captions, though.

[@TheStormey]

What an absolutely beautiful place to work! I'm jealous! We used to be able to float down it back in the eighties and we find sharks teeth all the way down, I know y'all are having fun! Y'all be careful! Can't wait to see what all you find!❤❤

[@pauldaystar]

WAIT TILL THEY FIND 130, 150,000 BC Cities Under Water

[@juanlapuente833]

Great video. About the difference between grazers and browsers depending on teeth, it is not that simple. Extanct elephants have teeth exactly like those of mammoths and they eat plenty of tree leaves, branches and fruits, forest elephants eat basically just that and have the same type of teeth. On the other hand, rhinos have teeth similar in shape to those of mastodons and they eat mostly grass. It can be said more from gut contents (in frozen specimens) or from isotopes in the enamel than from the teeth shape.

[@mkmccoy6929]

Not to mention that some 12000 years ago the ocean was 300-400 feet lower than it is today ...because of the ice age going on ...The first Floridians are under water ....

[@charliecarpenter2840]

I'd be interested to see a study on the tool marks left on bones from butchery and if it's possible to see if it's from hunting or scavenging. Further north I suspect meat frozen during ydb may have been scavenged and helped small populations survive . I wonder if anyone has investigated

[@silliaek]

Captions are completely out of sync

[@michellelester243]

They are for a completely different video (similar topic) that I now want to watch as well.

[@LavaBladez]

Awesome!

[@debragarry7130]

born and raised in Florida, swam with snakes and gators all my life. Don't bite them and they won't bite back!!!

[@johnsaxer3458]

Well, these archaeologists seem to have missed the big find : Atlantis. See for reference Anchors of Atlantis on KZbin or Saxer Saga or Saxer Stones on youtube and Brazilian Pepptree of Life Good and Evil on KZbin

[@johnsaxer3458]

Hey you jr. Archaeologists have missed the major point that ancient Atlantian Ark Anchors along the intercoastal waterway are evidence of Giants humans inhabiting North America

[@thepollywog1]

Will the last Floridians Also be found underwater.

[@SO-b8v]

Underwater shot at 2:12-2:13 has something that looks like a window scraper covered in rock-like material.

[@johnsaxer3458]

Whether your viewers see my Evidence for Atlantis you should study Old World Florida podcasts 3 conferm my research.
