Very interesting study. In regard to the domed structure of the caves with the hole at the top. They remind me of what are called Nuraghe on the island of Sardinia in the Mediterranean. Several thousand are known to exist and while many are in ruins some still retain most of their domed or beehive shaped interior chambers with a hole at the top. They do not contain the many small niches but I have seen multiple that have larger trapezoidal niches inside. They are believed to have been constructed by the Nuragic civilization starting around 1,800 BC but this is merely more mainstream archaeological supposition. In fact someone recently posted a video on facebook of a hike into the Caucasus mountains in Russia, near Georgia. The man came across a stone structure that nothing is officially known about. It bares a striking resemblance to the Nuraghe with large lintels over the doorways, an identical beehive interior with hole at the top and at least one niche is seen inside in the shadows. Not only do I suspect this structure is related to the Nuraghe but also to the domed/bell caves in this video of yours. The true antiquity of all of them is not known. They resemble ancient structures such as the so called Treasury of Atreus in Mycenae and The Barabar caves in India in general design, but the two forementioned structures do not have holes in their domes. I don't know whether or not pidgeon domestican was originally the work of an advanced civilization in prehistory. Animal husbandry seems rather primitive to me. We see ourselves as advanced now with our exploding factory animal farming operations and ongoing DNA research but in many ways we are still very very primitive. DNA study and manipulation is advanced when compared to a hunter gatherer lifestyle but is essentially abusive if not delved into with high standards and strict ethics. The implication in the word "advanced" does not in and of itself equate to *honorable*. To me, advanced methods of sustainment of the physical body would extend beyond the domestication animals, but would go far deeper than that. Developing methods of sustainment that extract vital nutrients in the most non-invasive and non-abusive ways. To even formulate nutritionally perfect synthetic alternatives to eating the flesh, eggs and consuming the fluids of other creatures. A unity of science and spirit. Transcending the lower nature. Of course, creatures consume other creatures on Earth. Everything dies and is reborn. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only harnessed and transformed. I trust that our lost ancient advanced civilization, or at least a faction of them......had a highly developed moral compass and pushed beyond the limits of third dimensional perception in extraordinary ways. We are not the physical body.

[@CuriousBeingbyTina]

Thank you for the insightful comments. It is interesting that you mentioned Nuraghe civilization. I was gathering information for the Chinese stone tombs and came across some stone chambers from Nuraghe civilization. I thought the Chinese tombs seem to share some similarities with the Nuraghe chambers. I didn’t know that the Caucasus Mountains in Russia have structures as you described. Could you please share the video if you can find it? I am very curious. There may be more mysterious stone structures in Russia and other countries along the Black Sea. I agree that we are probably still at the infantile stage of advanced civilizations. From what I read, currently we are too focused and limited to the material world and not utilizing our real abilities. We are not mere physical bodies but spiritual beings. At a higher conscious level, thought and morality have power and more so than physical strength. I like your theory that “our lost ancient advanced civilization or at least a faction of them......had a highly developed moral compass and pushed beyond the limits of third dimensional perception in extraordinary ways.” That coincides with Plato: 'As for those genealogies of yours which you have related to us, they are no better than tales of children; for in the first place, you remember one deluge only, whereas there were a number of them. And in the next place there dwelt in your land, which you do not know, the fairest and noblest race of men that ever lived of which you are but a seed or remnant. And this was not known to you because for many generations the survivors of that destruction made no records.'

@@CuriousBeingbyTina Oh there are many fascinating structures in the Caucasus! The megalithic structures called dolmens (translates to "portal tomb") are fascinating. There are thousands in the caucasus alone and many thousands in a variety of forms all over the Eastern hemisphere. Many of them are constructed of large slabs of stone as walls with a large slab on top very well fitted together and many are built with precision cut stacked stone mortarless construction, but there are many that are cut right into bedrock. They have very curious round portals cut or shaped into the front. Many of them still have stone plugs for the portal hole still on the ground around them. They are presumed to be "neolithic era tombs" due to the dating of the remains found in or near them but I believe neolithic era people simply found them and used them as places of burial. No one knows how old they actually are, who erected them or what their purpose was. The majority of the portal holes are too small for a human bigger than a child to fit into. Neolithic people lived in mud huts and were challenged enough to work with wood. To suggest they erected the structures is silly. There is no sign of a quarry anywhere near the dolmen found in the Caucasus. I was very excited to find a dolmen in the Caucasus that has a precision fit mortarless megalithic wall forming an enclosure around its front. On the blocks and on the slab that makes up the foundation of the dolmen there are several of the increasingly famous "knobs"/protrusions that are found on so many ancient megalithic structures across the globe and that ties the dolmens to this lost civilization. There must be a specific purpose for those knobs. Yes, presently as a collective humanity is still in an infantile stage. Materialism and excessive focus on externals has us hostage to our own lower nature. Our true advancement comes from within, not outside ourselves and I have a strong suspicion that we will find this is something the ancients who were responsible for these structures knew at a profound level. We view writing as advanced and mainstream academics use the development of writing as a marker for an advancing civilization, but I beg to differ. From a higher state of consciousness communication is telepathic and memory is stronger. I suspect to some extent we developed writing because we devolved into a lower state of being, where organizing externally became necessary. Cut off from the light within. Making it more challenging for most to see beyond the flesh......and so entered modern religions. It is curious that in Hinduism the beginning of The Kali Yuga (The Age Of Darkness) is believed to have begun in 3,200 BC. The lowest of the four Yuga cycles. A cycle of time in which virtue is at its lowest in humankind. Described as a very challenging age where materialism, avarice, deceitfulness and general ill intention are the norm and real virtue and principal are rare. The Mayan Long Count calendar began in 3114 BC and Dynastic Egypt sprung up around 3,000 BC with Sumeria approximately a few centuries before. Interesting that so much globally was emphasized during that window of time. The Kings lists in Egypt and Sumeria record Kings that ruled for thousands of years beyond that point. An Egyptian Kings list goes back 36,000 years, a full processional cycle and a half back. Though academia only recognizes the 1st mortal King of the 1st dynasty in Old Kingdom Egypt and regards the prior 'god kings' as myth. Were they myth or were they surviving records of a forgotten time when a highly advanced civilization existed on Earth? The Dynastic Egyptians regarded themselves not as a pioneering civilization, but as a legacy, and they spoke of a time called "Zep Tepi" which translates to "The first time".....

[@CuriousBeingbyTina]

@@MrZayne8 Thank you! This is an exciting site.

[@CuriousBeingbyTina]

@@MrZayne8 We are on a similar searching path  I was gathering information on dolmens - seems they dotted the coastlines of Eurasia. The portal dolmens with the curious round openings on the front stone slabs look quite ancient. I agree that Neolithic people found these structures and utilized them but they were not the original creators. Korea and Japan have a great number of dolmens, though they don’t have the round openings. There is very limited information on dolmens in China. I will in the future do a video to introduce the Chinese dolmen sites. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, which I found very interesting and profound. The human race could be highly advanced and capable of telepathic communication, though somehow over time we lost the knowledge of our real history and our intrinsic abilities. Human spirits are way more powerful than physical strength and they don’t decline with age. I wonder whether there is a connection with Hindu golden age (Satya Yuga) and the Greek Golden Age because the descriptions of the two have a lot in common. In both golden ages, all people are saintly, long living, powerfully built, honest, youthful, vigorous, erudite and virtuous. Hinduism and Greek mythology both state that currently we are in the worst age, Kali Yuga or the Iron Age. People become slaves to their passions and are barely as powerful as their earliest ancestors in the golden age. Knowledge is lost and scriptures diminished… Waddell’s chronology has a list of comparison on the Sumerian King’s list with the Hindu King gods. To me many, the gods’ names share striking similarities. Here is the link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waddell%27s_chronology “Waddell's primary chronology was compiled from various Sumerian king lists, Egyptian list of pharaohs, the Bhagavata Purana, Mahabharata, Rigveda and numerous Indus Valley Civilization seals and other monuments and relics and sources, some of which he had deciphered himself”.

[@garybirdwell6015]

Tina, there are a few questions in my mind this morning 1) Tool marks, what kind of machine could make these, assuming no electricity to power the device? 2) working in a dark cave like area, what kind of lighting? If we had a brainstorming session on each, assuming no modern TECH, what could we come up with? If you have electrical power, what is the source? that is the million dollar question. You're doing a great job with your research, thanks.

[@CuriousBeingbyTina]

Thank you Gary. I think if an ancient civilization had in fact developed complex machinery like we have in use today; then they would have also been capable of utilizing electricity or other power sources. The technological sophistication of this unknown civilization could have been on par with or even have surpassed ours in some aspects.

[@darrensanimalsvideos]

@@CuriousBeingbyTina the power supply doesn't make me wonder, it's the tiny passages that these machines have cut through. I can't think of another way of cutting through some of these tunnels, but to leave exact spacing between the scrapes is near impossible without a multiple toothed device. A small barrel roller attached to a "bobcat" type thing could probably do it these days. Then the other thing that bothers me about most of these quarries, caves dtc, they are completely void of waste. There's no rubble anywhere, the floors look swept clean, cutting the rock generates vast quantities of rubble and dust, then polishing leaves tiny dust particles, there does not seem to be any in these places like they were vacuumed. The floors are so flat. Whoever cut these was well advanced, they are much older than thought, as you said, repurposed by later people. We have been finding and using natural caves for thousands of years so only natural that we'd used these mega caves.

The only thing being the height of these plus the fact you'd get covered in poo from the above alcoves in the bell while feeding cleaning getting eggs from the lower birds, then there's the height, you'd need a heap of different ladders or a scaffold to reach half these alcoves, then there's the ones up a few stories. I think they may have some used them for housing them but I think they were already there and they only used them as they were very handy, at least the lower ones. Like we've always done, found a site (baalbeck) and thought, we can build a temple on that, then it gets destroyed in wars and the next religion builds on that (temple of soloman/temple mount for example). A lot of holy sites are built on top of other, older holy sites.

[@zorida]

Hi Tina, many thanks for your remarkable research, one of the best videos around according to me :)) I would like to share with everyone something you may already know. Oddly, i found that a population lived in Uzbekistan up to 8.000 years ago, in a city called Khiva. They were the (H)opis or Khopis. Their houses were much like these bell caves (even if simpler) and could be accessed from a hole placed above. They are linked with traditions of the northern american Hopi tribe. Their ancestors, the so called Anasazi, presumably were those who built those places called kivas by the Hopi in the southwestern States. And again the Hopi people talk about the Ant-People, living underground, feeding the men (survivors?) in times of need... What a coincidence.... :-) Kisses P.s. The domestication is one of the keys to our past truth indeed, we ourselves might have been domesticated by someone else....... great job...

[@CuriousBeingbyTina]

Thank you for sharing your insights, Dario! I really appreciate it. I'm not aware of this ancient Uzbekistan population or their possible relationship with the Hopi people. What you said sounds very interesting - I will look this up! There are so many mysteries about our human species. I like what you said about domestication and "we ourselves might have been domesticated" - that's insightful. Thank you!

[@brindlebriar]

If you visualize trying to chisel by hand the underground bell-shaped caves in Israel, you quickly realize it's almost impossible starting from the top, unless the rock is being ground into rubble. This, because there'd be no angle of approach by which to chisel out blocks underground. Nowhere to stand. Nowhere for the back of the chisel to extend. No space in which to swing the hammer. It's just not possible. In order to quarry a stone, there has to be some way of approaching the stone you want to remove before it is removed. But if they were grinding the stone to rubble with some machine like a big drill, then they won't need to stand anywhere down there, and there'd be no need for room for chisels to extend and hammers to swing. You'd just drill down with a grinding wheel, and then gradually rotate it around and around, hollowing out the space, frequently stopping to scooping out the rubble.

[@anvilbrunner.2013]

You might find Grimes graves Neolithic flint mine at Norfolk in England interesting. There we find both open cast & shaft mining together. Very similar in appearance to the sites you have shown us in this video. Though they weren't used after being abandoned as dovecotes.

@@CuriousBeingbyTina The bell caves with the niches remind me of how an ancient Chinese bronze bell looks from the inside. The niches or indentations were intentionally made to increase resonance.

I hear so much about humans domesticating animals, but they never talk about how it was done or if it is even happening today. Are we domesticating animals today, or are we just using the ones that have been domesticated thousands of years ago?

[@CuriousBeingbyTina]

Domestication is a long topic... If tamable is the threshold of "domestication", then a lot of animals which are captive-bred can be considered "domesticated". Most recent (within 200 years) "domesticated" animals are domesticated hedgehogs and other smaller animals. The thing is that many animals are friendly and even protective of other animals in the wild. Can we consider that such animals are also domesticated to each other?

[@ralewijnse]

Hi TinA, another interesting episode. Have there been any academic or engineering studies into the techniques to carve out the caves? The patterns are remarkably similar so it would be interesting to know what a machine would have looked like, and what happened to them. Are no other traces left other than the carvings itself?

[@CuriousBeingbyTina]

Thank you Roderik. I think 'such studies' are warranted though I haven't found any yet. Current day rotary mining machines create similar patterns/tool marks. If these caves were initially excavated by an advanced civilization, then the machinery used to create them could have been removed from the sites after the work was finished. A hypothesis states that 12,000 years ago a catastrophic event occurred on Planet Earth and wiped out most of civilization. There is some evidence supporting this hypothesis. If this did occur, then it likely wiped out the ancient machinery and other traces, except for the everlasting stone.

Tina, great video, thank you! Very useful information about the dove/pidgeon domestication history. One thing that bothers me when looking at all these sites across the globe which had different shaped small holes in the walls: Why would a developed, highly capable anciant civilisation, which is able to carve hundreds of caves in the stone (which today's cultures and nations can't and don't even try to do) need to live together with doves and pidgeons? Did they have problems with finding enough food and fertilizers? That seems unlikely if you consider that they are highly skilled and powerful people based on their advanced dwellings. In other words, would you like to live together with hundred of birds in the same room, listen to their cooing and smell them all the time? I lived with 4 doves in the house for 8 years and was always closing their cage in a separate room because of the sound and smell. Now think about hundreds of these birds in the same house, without doors! Doesn't look like life of a highly developed civilisation. The idea that the holes are made for birds doesn't seem likely to me at all. Keep doing these great videos, thanks!

Alternate uses for niches: 1. for storing scrolls 2. for storing bones/ashes of the deceased. If it was for pigeons, there must be some poop that they can date...

[@CuriousBeingbyTina]

The niches are pretty small and shallow so probably they were not made for storing scrolls or bones, maybe for ashes. Guano was used as a good fertilizer in ancient times, so maybe the pigeon poop could be taken away already...

It may not be well known, but doves were one of the most common sacrificial animals. Temples stood on every corner at the time, and there were many gods. The consumption of pigeons must have been huge.

My doubts : 1. It should have marks of excretion from pigeons everywhere if the niches were used for keeping pigeons. 2. What is the importance of pigeons to the people living thousands years ago bother to make such sophisticated caves？

[@CuriousBeingbyTina]

Thank you for the comment. I had the doubts as well. I found a paper on similar caves in Jordan provided evidence on pigeon excretion. Also there are still some pigeons living inside the Maresha caves which shows dropping marks. Pigeon droppings were used and traded as valuable fertilizers for a long period of time. The bell shaped caves with niches do make excretion collecting easier... It is fascinating that ancient people built these structures to raise pigeons, or did they? I'm not completely sure.

[@yvettekosta7994]

Tina, you're right and on the right track concerning domestication of animals by humans for various purposes. Selective breeding has been around since prehistory, and revived over and over as human civilization recovered from various global catastrophies. Animals were always selectively bred for strength and work, agility in battle, tender flesh for food, companionship, protection and so on. People noticed certain qualities in the animals and birds, rewarded them and a bond formed of mutual benefit. Of course not everyone did it well, some people did things with brute force and cruel control. Even today many who work with, breed, or train animals rethink the way they should go about it. Like ranchers or horse tamers etc.

[@paulphelps7809]

Ancient records from many countries tell of a great flood--which occurred several millennia in the past. Researchers have varied thoughts about the degree of technology that existed before this flood. Most evidence would have been buried or obliterated by the flood, so it is hard to know, but more evidence is coming to light as we dig deeper; I'm convinced that the level of technology at that time was advanced.

[@McClarinJ]

The parallel gouge marks do suggest a technologically advanced excavation method requiring machines and a culture with such capabilities should certainly be capable of domesticating wild doves. However, where did the removed material go? Was it deposited on the surface or was it used to make something?

[@kailashpatirai]

[@gerardtuxen5069]

Genetic interference with DNA to breed dogs from the Russian Wolf? Yes, I think so. A parallel to this is the development of ALL the grains we use in farming today from a single type of grass which only grew in Central America and nowhere else. A previous civilization of the highest art, capable of directing the human race towards agriculture; also building henges to assist decision making as to when crops should be planted, harvested, etc.

[@0U8123MTA3]

16:30 Well, ancient documents indicate genetic manipulation did happen. Then look at the carvings that depict chimeras like the ones at the Baodingshan and Dazu Rock Carvings. Yes indeed, the megalithic time period was much different than today and might I add just scary.

The Younger Dryas Event explains what happened to early civilizations, estimated to happen 10,000 to 12,000 years ago. Only bits and pieces are revealed through research. Putting it all together paints a picture of six simultaneous comet impacts in the North Pole resulting in massive earthquakes, incineration of North America and Europe, polar ice caps melting, 300 ft. sea rise and catastrophic global volcanism, and a mini ice age.

[@CuriousBeingbyTina]

Thanks for sharing your insight. Scholars have proposed that the Younger Dryas (comet impact happened 12,800 years ago) was the event that ended the previous civilization. But after my own research I think it's very possible that the real culprit was an earlier disastrous time period. I made two videos on this topic.

@@CuriousBeingbyTina I agree, Tina. I am just a curious being that sees a different reality to that promoted by our official authorities. I'm beginning to see a series of global civilisations and subsequent wipeouts and reemergings of that have significantly modified environments, societies and lifeforms. This makes both synchronic and diachronic analysis, and the integration of ideas on this incredibly important topic very difficult. However, the general tendency seems to be from the gigantic (early or pre-megalithic) to the very large (megalithic) to the large (megafauna) to the small (modern period), moving towards miniaturisation via nanotechnology in the future.

Tool hardness versus work hardness Hardness in tool bit is always at least a fraction harder than the work piece any time in ancient and present. The softer the work material the less force we needs to shape the work surface. We either - conveniently assume there were advanced and heavy duty machinery in ancient times responsible for the cave wall striations - or bite the bullet, to find a way to explain it. The bullet hypothesis : What if the ancient people had only softer tool and muscle force is what they have? Assuming they complete the work we see today. The one and only one way that can be accomplished is that work material have hardness varies from soft to hard, in a chemical process. If that is OK with you, we may assume the cave walls began soft - like hardness of chalk. All ancient men need was a construction plan to work out a carving process. Tool format? Their tool bits were format like a comb with one or more handles driven by one or more operators. Retaining wall hypothesis : To retaining wall with polygonal fittings - they need geopolymer concrete mixed in a consistency that flow like lava. Pour the wet concrete in between two adjacent blocks and on top of previously set hardened blocks one level down. It will flow into the targeted void to form three seamless joints. At the end of a wall they use a wood panel as a single side mold. Also noted they geopolymer concrete expand as it harden, evidently form ballooning blocks, ballooning may be a problem. As the block shell get hardening sooner it’s half dry core continue expand that would blow out the shell and collapse the block, with core material spill on the construction site - is a problem. The priest would then puncture the half hard shell with a sphere or blade necessary to bleed excess material in a controlled manner. Usually one puncture is suffice other times two to three is required. The puncture also responsible for the famous stone “belly button” or knobs.

[@hilke3071]

I guess that maybe because of many disasters in the past like floods etcetera may have led to some animals finding refuge with people and survived while many other animals of their kind died out...and so leaving the animals that stayed with the people during those hard times to grow into seperate groups of animals with different behavioures and even genetic changes. I read that genetic changes may occur faster when only a small and isolatet part of the population survives a disaster. Because then any and every small genetic mutition will be carried easily through the whole population and if beneficial will stay and then it can excellerate the change very rapidly.

You are amazing, more things i didn't know. Every video you have something new for me i haven't seen or heard of before and i've read so much and watched a lot of videos. I knew of these caves and the niches, i didn't know the style were found in France. I don't know about the pigeon breeding. In the dome walls anyway, Some of the holes are way too high and having them in an arch makes no sense, you would be getting covered in bird poo getting eggs etc out of the lower cages and they could have straightened out the walls lower without affecting the strength. I wonder what the accoustics are like in there? Also i didn't see many "torch marks" from lanterns or fires anywhere.

Domes as you mentioned are cooler. along the same line mining in a dome would not be weather dependent. They probably hired submarine sailors to do the mining because they do not posses the gene for survival. Just give enough beer and they will do anything. You also mentioned they mined the chalk in blocks but judging by the tool marks they weren't getting blocks. They probably had their wives make wicker baskets to carry out the rubble.

There are scholars claimed that the previous advanced civilization might has ended during the Younger Dryas about 12,000 years ago. I thought so as well until I found out that there was no major population decrease at the YD event.

Anyway, The original use may have been something else in the past and repurposed again and again. A great video as usual.
