Thank you for not resorting to AI narration. Your documentaries are basically the gold standard on KZbin.

​@Andy_Babb

[@dreddykrugernew]

Lets put it into perspective. The believed duration of the settlements was 1400 years, at Karahan Tepe they have discovered so far with only 5% of the site being excavated 10,000 grinding bowls for grinding grains. Thats 7 stone grinding bowls being created everyday for 1400 years, isnt this way over the top for any settlement. The effort it takes to make a grinding bowl, how long a grinding bowl lasts until its no longer any use, why would they need so many grinding bowls if they where only harvesting wild grains that are much smaller. After watching Graham Hancock on JRE and his lack of evidence it got me thinking about the explanation of the bowls and if there is an anomaly that isnt yet explained its why would they need all those bowls when they arent supposedly needed for at least another 2000 to 3000 years in the future of the area.

[@Andy_Babb]

@@dreddykrugernew You know a grinding bowl could be used for paints and pigments as well, right?

[@dreddykrugernew]

@@Andy_Babb they would be detected like they are on objects that have been buried, when we are looking at the statues from Karahan Tepe what we are not seeing is them painted in all their glory. The bowls are for grinding grains and some for pigments maybe but again you wouldnt need on average 7 a day being made if one will last a substantial amount of time.

I think you're confusing culture and civilization.. you might want to look up the definition for both

Gotta agree with the other comment here, civilisation is definitely more rigidly defined than culture. Any group of humans living with one another is going to create a culture of some sort, it's just a natural way of relating to other beings you live around.

The Gobekli and Karahan stuff makes me feel confident that we will keep finding older sites like this. Maybe just off the coasts or just deeply buried like these were.

[@mrbaab5932]

Why do you say that when the Tepes prove the oldest cultures were inland?

[@qui-gonjay2944]

[@DiMacky24]

​@@mrbaab5932They are found inland because dryer climates are more common inland and preserve stone construction. Also people are more likely to build with stone when there are fewer trees. Wet climates destroy artifacts rapidly, but like today, wet climates would of had larger populations. Thus we are only seeing that which was preserved and not the vastness that actually existed.

[@jennodine]

I find them all over Google Earth. I save all my screenshots. I should make video of them all. Only one had evidence of looting.

[@user-em2pe3rf4h]

When I see something like Karahan and Gobekli Tepe it occurs to me that these were not their 1st attempts so to speak. It looks to me that whoever built them already had the design and methods needed perfected... which would mean that there are even older sites yet to be found.

[@Dusty_Den]

Maybe even right below these more successful attempts

[@user-em2pe3rf4h]

@@Dusty_Den I can't help but wonder who would find who stranger. Those people if they somehow encountered modern people,or vice versa? It's interesting (for me anyway) to wonder about. With no real knowledge of them and no way of knowing if they wondered about far in the future humans, we'll never know. Forget any aliens, I'd rather encounter those humans lost in the mist of time.

[@toddkloos3965]

Look up Boncuklu Tarla, Mureybet, and Tell Qaramel for some sites in the region that are slightly older than Karahan Tepe and Gobekli Tepe. If you want something that is a lot older, you can look up Ohalo 2 for a settlement that is twice as old as Gobekli Tepe. The problem is that if you get much older than Gobekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe they were using wood as the main building material rather than stone. Unless there were some exceptional circumstances (like what happened at Ohalo 2), wood isn't going to stay preserved for 12,000+ years and has long since rotted away.

[@user-em2pe3rf4h]

@@toddkloos3965 Thank you for the recommendation(s). I'm always looking to learn about places that are little known,at least little known to myself. 95% of KZbin is truly a cesspool, but the remaining 5% consists of things worth the time. Whether about ancient times or deep space, I'm all in. Enough of my blathering, thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

[@ClassicusHomo]

There will always be places found older than those already known. In history, there is always something older than what is consideret the oldest.

[@sergiomorales4789]

This is as incredible as the Gobekle Tepe doc! Every time I learn something new about the history of our civilization, I feel closer to humanity. Your narration gives life to a long lifeless people in our ancient past. It’s like meeting the ancestors of our ancestors. If only we all as the flame bearers of the past could put our differences aside for but a moment, we might hear what our history is trying to tell us. We wouldn’t keep each other from learning the truth of our beginnings. It is adventurers and investigators such as yourself that will keep our link to the past strong and available to all mankind. Your efforts and your incredibly hard work do not go unappreciated or unnoticed!

[@JennTN411]

Great comment! Had to screenshot 😊😊

[@YogiMcCaw]

It's a tragedy that every time humans find some new religion, they feel like they have to utterly destroy all the accumulated wisdom that came before them. The whole "conquering" mentality has probably kept humanity from evolving more than anything else. In the end you don't conquer anything - you just throw humanity back into the dark ages again. And again, and again. And we're getting ready to do it again over the next 50 years or so. For all of our conceited intelligence, we still don't get it. We're still going to cause our own downfall.

Thank you for your hard work and dedication; it is very important work and very much appreciated.

[@HistoryTime]

Thanks very much. I appreciate the comment

[@phillipstroll7385]

Funny how none of these supposed "experts" ever think of the obvious. It's a if they never read a book that wasn't funded by a university or been part of a community outside of elitism. Half man half beast, scary a joke. More likely hunters dressing like that which they want to get closer to so they can kill it. Or wearing a leopard skin while gathering berries so a leopard wouldn't attack its own. Just like hikers today wear hats with cat eyes on the back so big cats won't attack from behind. It could also represent the leaders of certain things. A man being seen as being a strong as a bear. Another as fast as a leopard. Another jumpy like a heron. I still go with men dressing to imitate the heron to attack animals for hunting.

I’m reminded of Indigenous Australians who integrate their totem creature with their identity, ritual, law, and culture. While Indigenous people have varying and fluid ways of identifying themselves into several groups at once, it is very common for different groups to be identified by different species in the environment.

[@janegarnham]

Thank you and as An Australian we have a 50 thousand year old civilisation .All mankind is great and all civilisations worthy of study but why do we keep looking to Europe for ‘the oldest’ when we know the two oldest are in Africa and Australia? I’m not a fan by the way on the hunt for “ the oldest “ implying oldest gives some superiority value. But just wonder why we do not recognise one that is oldest and continuous

[@StarCrystal9]

Yeah but in a very simple and primitive way and they stoped, basically at that!

[@unatwomey7112]

​@@StarCrystal9given that a billion animals died in wildfires there a couple of years ago, maybe the indigenous people were smarter, knowing what's to their advantage. With less Civilisation thousands of years ago, people had bigger brains than us now. Civilisation tends also to be violent Europeans as recorded in modern history. Indigenous Australians could testify to that.
