Latest Archaeological Discoveries (November 2024)

[@capt.bart.roberts4975]

Another retired working class guy, thankful for people like yourself. Who feed my lifelong interests in geology, paleontology, archaeology and history. I'm just beginning to inform myself about the history of china, your series on that has been very helpful in giving me the background to read the Oxford History of China. Thanks, to you personally, and to many others too numerous to mention.

[@jasunci]

The best thing about having gotten into real history, by watching channels like yours, is that my interest in the subject has grown so much, that I’ve already read about more than half of these discoveries… Still like watching this for more context… Thanks for the good work

[@Wanderlust073]

@@jasunci what do you read to keep up on this sort of thing?

[@SalTarvitz]

Have you seen that meme where the "dumb" and very educated are both at the ends of the spectrum. That is classical studies. If you knew how much is wrong in regards to Rome and Greece you would understand why the focus is on ancient aliens.

[@brett-lothian]

The plants the Egyptians were using were Blue Lotus, which is a well known narcotic, asian spider flower, which seems to be a muscle relaxant, and syrian rue, which is a mono amine oxidase inhibitor, which is used to potentiate alkaloids taken orally, boosting the effects. Interestingly if they combined their local acacia with syrian rue, they may have made their own version of ayahuasca.

[@lancerbiker5263]

It's odd how discoveries keep pushing back the timeline.... People seem to be way smarter way earlier..until recent times.

[@alwilliams5177]

As we learn more, our history begins earlier. We know way more about the last 5000 years than we did in 1986 when I graduated from highschool.

[@ShaneMclane-PrivateEye]

Because most of the history we were taught is a lie.

[@WorldofAntiquity]

Well, logically it is only possible to discover that something started earlier.

[@Ricardo-f7w5f]

In the end, Hegel will be proven right

[@MXedits_1]

@@lancerbiker5263 Purely speculative here BUT if the Sumerian King's list is to be taken literally, these kings and their lifespans date back to BEFORE the last ice age! And if we ignore any religious/mythological aspects and take the story literally it could be (puts on tinfoil hat) that whatever event that caused the flood and ice age, also destroyed the perfect conditions here on earth. (For example our magnetic shielding, or something else that guarded us from cosmic radiation)

[@AutoReport1]

If archaeologists weren't perplexed they wouldn't be digging.

You and the Milos should pitch a rebuttals series 😅 🤞

Salts main purpose was preserving food. Not to many refrigerators around back in the day.

[@pranays]

Also for amamils that eat grass need salt licks.

[@filmbuffo5616]

salt is an essential nutrient, animals as well as humans will travel a very long way to get salt to consume

[@edgarsnake2857]

Interesting? Are you kidding? These videos are fantastic. The skeleton made from 5 people spanning 2400 years is nuts. Thanks for all the videos you make. Highly entertaining, informative content. Thanks, Doc.

[@youtube_moderator]

39:19 "analyses revealed traces of Peganum harmala (Syrian Rue), Nimphaea nouchali var. caerulea (Blue Lotus), and a plant of the Cleome genus, all of which are traditionally proven to have psychotropic and medicinal properties."

Love you reading that you're live at the same time as Dibble and your reaction. Like it was verboten. Thanks for making these brother, love to keep up with the field. Also commenting for that evil algorithm

[@WorldofAntiquity]

I just want to be polite.

[@neva_nyx]

Dang! I'm sorry I missed the live, but im here to rewatch 💜

[@jimtripman9002]

There is an interesting KZbin documentary called " The King of the Nile- The Shilluk Nilotic Tribe. The ritual in the documentary describes the Narmer Palette, including the comments spoken by the new King, also depicted on the Narmer Palette. The Narmer Palette therefore is an instruction manual of how to perform the unification of the two lands, in the ritual installation a new king, Narmer was being installed, he was not in a battle, the battle had taken place long before him.

[@PeachysMom]

Bodmin Moor has always been known to be prehistoric, hasn’t it? I sure I saw a Time Team episode about it

[@capt.bart.roberts4975]

As a kid I devoured the strange tales literature. It's what have me my deep and abiding appreciation of the depth of our prehistory. That and a hate for people who underestimate the abilities of our ancestors.

[@thebunkerparodie6368]

I went to the colmar natural history museum and I didn't knew there was an egypt related exhibit with mummies and object related to egypt history (with african related object too, some being from ethiopia and there's china object too). There's also the paleobotanica exhibit going on there.

[@jacksilver7701]

Thanks!

[@WorldofAntiquity]

And thank you!

[@hillside21]

Salt has been used in ritual purification, by Hawaiians and Japanese and many others. Even today, Sumo wrestlers use it before every match. And in the Kalevala, the magical Sampo produced flour, salt, and money. The Big 3!

[@Philip-w5l]

St Petersburg, Florida...😎 Thanks for sharing... I missed you live, but it's not necessary for me to be there... The podcast is just fine 😎...

Sorry we missed it live…..great to see you❤… just returned to Victoria last night…. great time in Egypt with David !!!

[@loke6664]

I would argue that an alphabet don't need 20-40 letters, the Younger Futhark (viking runes in short) only used 16 runes and still works fine. It it probably around the lower limit though to be easy to understand, but it is super easy to learn and most people can learn it in a day. It usually takes a bit longer to learn the Roman alphabet in school.

0:44:00 But archeologists don't do underwater excavations! (Per Graham Hancock)

[@Oddball5.0]

Only been happening for 60+ years. I’m sure Graham will catch up.

[@Phier554]

When you're flying over the Yucatan if you see your raised area it's probably not excavated ruin.

[@capt.bart.roberts4975]

"Sorry sir, the horses aren't covered by warranty!"

[@kaarlimakela3413]

Updates of archeological sites is great stuff. Are great stuff? Anyway, we see a lot of lines of bricks, foundations of stone, and then what? I vote for a visit to Greece. Pete Kelly got me excited showing us his trek through little known Greek sites of the Greek world. The Santini volcano site, the fall of Old Crete, the Mycenean Era, the Trojan War, the Dark Age and a look at writing and literacy, etc. Though you would be forced to boat around some gorgeous Greek Islands, might be a hardship. I'd stay away from the entire Levant for the next five-ish years.

[@hervigdewilde3599]

According to Google, a giraffe bone was found in the sewers of Pompeii - apparently someone flashy ate it... (!?!)

I hope your next video will talk about the inscription found in Frankfurt, Germany, and revealed a few days ago! The inscription, 1800 years old, is claimed to be the oldest evidence for Christian life north of the alps.

[@alexisdespland4939]

i thimk the watling stret find is because they are extending the tube under the old kent road.

[@PeachysMom]

Can anyone explain how they know that was a “gift tag?” Has it been translated? Curious about the backstory. Love you Dr. Miano

There's a monk in Ethiopia, who thinks he's guarding The Ark. Is about the best I can say.

[@onbedoeldekut1515]

You might want to think of the seals as sorts of ambigrams. I can imagine their maker thinking they were touched by a god, or even a ruler thinking they could be used as secret code messaging devices.

[@onbedoeldekut1515]

2,600 years ago would be give or take contemporary with Homer's Anatolian Greece, so Kubaba wouldn't as such be a precursor to Cybele.

Hey pal, my bible is written in portuguese, because it can't be translated to a more vulgar language, such as yours for example.

[@youtube_moderator]

"Phrygian" seems to be written in IPA (/ˈfrɪdʒ.i.ən/). So, like "ridge," not "rig." Is there any reason you pronounce it differently?

[@WorldofAntiquity]

Yes, it is closer to the original.
