I should be heading off to the cyclopean lairs of the Mycenaean warrior kings tomorrow. Alas Tiryns of the mighty walls, Mycenae, Pylos will have to wait until this quarantine blows over. No new footage for a while unfortunately folks. Let me know what you'd likes to see covered during this bizarre time. My schedule is completely changed right now with a vast amount of projects (such as Bronze Age Greece) on hold indefinitely. SO let me know some new topics to delve into. Please like and subscribe if you enjoyed the vid as that's how KZbin decides if you've enjoyed it or not, and why not share with a like minded history lover. Cheers guys! Onto the next one...

[@gurbuzonder1541]

Why don't you continue with your schedule? I mean people wouldn't mind (They shouldn't) old/recycled footage. I mostly listen your videos, I guess many people do that. If you still insist on a new project, I think ancient mesopotamia is always an interesting object ( I really liked Jericho video, sea scroll was pretty good, too. ). Even in podcasts, you can find so many ancient greece, not that much for mesopotamia. Egypt might entice people's interest as well.

[@Everythingforthemonarchy]

Can you do later,(after you do the video about the mycenian warrior kings) a video about the Dacian Emperor (The first and the greastest king of all the thracian people; King of Kings of Dacia) Burebista (82 BC-44 BC)?

History Time one of my favorite history periods is medivel mediterarien. So maybe the normans in north africa, almoravids, almohods, georgas golden age, medival iberia (Reconquista) or the frankish civil war and the treaty of verdun which let to the forming of germany and france. I am also a fan of stories about one main charackters. It would be cool of you one of those stories. Great Video btw.

[@caesarillion]

I would dig deeper into the pharmacy and fertility of the Jaguar city all the while metal detecting for the Chief's golden hoards and gardens. Did you not see the enlarged sex organ on the mysterious pot figure?? Where were the prime cocoa growing plots and pleasure palaces of exotic redwood?? And what was their enlarged style of construction? How many specie of monkey live there and what are their habits vis a vis the jaguar and settlements?? After that I would be exploring Crete and Kalista for fields and settlements needing excavation and seeking the Minoan's large arteries of transportation with an eye to the presence of the earliest chariots in common usage around the Mediterranean. Will you find the Chariots of Atlantis for patroling the coasts and quickening shipments into the interior at Knossos? Lastly I would be attempting to reconstuct the island of Santorini/Atlantis before the great eruption with attention to the height and shape of the volcano of ancient birth that had been developing far and wide for thousands of years before the tragic eruption. Was it the Killimanjaro of the sea? We must find out.

Pete - when I was a girl (late 50's early 60's), I was totally fascinated by archaeology. I read everything I could find on ancient meso-American, Egyptian, SE Asian, etc civilizations. I should have become an archeaologist, but other interests came along and I took another path. But what fun it is to see the things you bring to life in your videos on ancient civilizations! This particular one - Lost City of the Monkey God - is the most fascinating video ever made by anyone. Thank you!!

Meso America is a term invented in the 1960's. It just means Middle Americans. So why not just say Americans? Because that's what they are. Native Americans from the middle of America.

In 1987 I actually tried to find La Ciudad Blanca by taking a boat from Trujillo, Honduras to the Miskito Coast. I figured that "lost city" lay somewhere near the head waters of the Rio Platano and the Rio Paulaya. I was shipwrecked but saved by the Miskito Indians who lived in the village of Platano. I continued along the coastline to Brus Laguna, and then on to Puerto Lempira. I never got near where I thought that "lost city" was, but it was an excellent adventure. I tried again in 1997, traveling to the Rio Sico to get to Dulce Nombre de Culmi. I managed to get to some gold mines and stayed in the jungle in a tiny village with the miners. They wanted me to return the very next year with lots of guns and a few aluminum canoes so that we could explore the region down the Rio Sico and look for that Monkey God. I declined, but sometimes wish I had not. Fun times!

[@amandamccallum6796]

The problem is how they teach history in school. It's all about memorizing names and dates for a test then forgetting it by the next test. My world history teacher pulled me aside about my low grades and by asking a few good questions he realized I understood WW2 better than my classmates in the why's and how's but couldn't memorize dates. That teacher got me to explain to my classmates the why's and how's to make up the grades and I have loved history ever since.

That's great, the history may not be lost though bro, In ancient Indian Vedic/Hindu Sanskrit text, A Monkey God called Lord Hanuman travelled to the land and a historical event occurred and was documented in Ancient Sanskrit text. Story of how Lord Hanuman(the monkey God) went to the land and defeated a demon adorning good over evil.. one of the stone statues found there identically depicts the Hindu/Vedic Lord Hanuman(monkey God).

What do you think the Black Plague was ? .Most South American indians died Because they had no immunity to European disease .Europe went thru the same thing Black Plague when their population had no Immunity to far East mid East diseases. Mexico and South America Had Human Sacrafice On a Grand Scale . Missionaries wrote about Decapitated heads hanging on Walls 130,000.! They Just found Proof of these Massive Slaughter of victims In Mexico. 2015 Some conquistadors wrote about the tzompantli and its towers, estimating that the rack alone contained 130,000 skulls. But historians and archaeologists knew the conquistadors were prone to exaggerating the horrors of human sacrifice to demonize the Mexica culture. As the centuries passed, scholars began to wonder whether the tzompantli had ever existed. Archaeologists at the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) here can now say with certainty that it did. Beginning in 2015, they discovered and excavated the remains of the skull rack and one of the towers underneath a colonial period house on the street that runs behind Mexico City's cathedral. (The other tower, they suspect, lies under the cathedral's back courtyard.) The scale of the rack and tower suggests they held thousands of skulls, testimony to an industry of human sacrifice unlike any other in the world .www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/06/feeding-gods-hundreds-skulls-reveal-massive-scale-human-sacrifice-aztec-capital

[@Jason2425able]

Big Al' I don't know if you'll see this after so long. But I have to say a pretty big history nerd and I don't really consider the Aztec to be a great civilization. There are key things about the Aztec that are ignored because of fantasy and that is that they didn't really build their own civilization. Before they were called Aztec they were simply called war dogs. They were largely a nomadic warring tribe that literally made everyone's life miserable. We find through records that they through constant warring managed to push out the native tribe's that built these cities and took them over. They pushed them down into South America where they integrated in with their cousins but they never forgot what the Aztec did to them. These records were passed down through oral histories and codex that have been translated, as well as what the conquistadors found out while there. So in the end I just can't appreciate the Aztec as a great civilization because on their own merits they didn't build they only destroyed.

So True, though the culture and history has been lost to the area only not entirely... This is an ancient Indian civilization.. reference to the monkey god is an Indian Hindu/Vedic religious God called Lord Hanuman.. texts documented in ancient Indian texts called Sanskrit will give you all the answers. This area was said to be the land where a demon dwelled and ruled. An epic battle/incident occurred thousands of years ago where Lord Hanuman (monkey god) defeated the demon King and good adorned over evil in a short summary. Involves great warriors, saint's,sages and wisdom.

Many of the indigenous people in the Amazon basin used a technique called 'slash and char' to create areas for agriculture. The soil they created is called Terra Preta and has the benefit of holding nutrients within the soil instead of leaching out. But today, slash and burn means the land is suitable for a short time for agriculture.

The statue at 19:00-19:01 mins looks extremely similar to be a representation of Hanuman- the Monkey God in Hinduism. Maybe thousands of years ago the world civilizations were more fluid and adventurous- with exchange of socio-cultural thoughts & ideas between different people & geographies! The people in the Indian subcontinent were extremely accomplished maritime traders, explorers and had outstanding knowledge in arts and sciences. There must have been exchanges and contacts. Really can’t deduce anything directly in absence of direct evidences, but, who knows how it was all those millennia ago!!!!!!!

Devananda das Hardly. No (even circumstantial) evidence Hanuman was worshiped by the indus valley civilisation. Their connection to vedic religion is little more than speculation at this point, but not unlikely. A connection to Hanuman specifically though is just not there at all! On the other side of the earth we have Honduras and a monkey god in a culture that cannot have had any connection to the vedic religions at all! The last time anyone there could have had contact with an ancestor of the indus valley people is over 10.000 years before the indus valley civilisation began (and that’s pushing it), and then we have to add another 4-5.000 years before this monkey god appears! Besides the fact that both look like monkeys there’s literally no connection between the two.

Jaguars are indeed seen as powerful spiritual animals, the jaguar is known as the eater of souls which sounds terrible but actually means it is a healing animal, eats a persons soul, heals it and returns it to the person. I knew a Central American shaman, Martin Prechel, several years ago and he told me how his teacher told him he needed a totem of a living jaguar. So he went off into the jungle and was sat leaning against a tree with his eyes closed meditating, he opened his eyes and a living jaguar was inches from his face. Bear in mind each year jaguars kill people, he lifted his hand and plucked a whisker from the jaguars face. The jaguar turned, urinated on him then walked away.
