Hello NG, I know you probably will not see this, but lost cities is one of my favorite running series i have ever seen and it is a joy to have them free on youtube. PLEASE continue posting these. It can be hard to find joy in such an unforgiving world, and it might be silly, but this provides me that joy.

[@tsrmmercy836]

The story is awesome, they did a good job putting it together. But I'm sure you can do better. Save up and in a few years go off the tracker. Go explore a brutal forest, examine data, explore ruins.

It's fun to me that I'm not alone hearing the soundtrack! The worst is Scott Wolters shows! But by the same token, we commenting are recognizing the effect of the music, and I am not offended by Mr. Lin getting some fanfare. If others less sensitive just get a little more "buzz," that's a good thing for the serious content.

The fact that we get free documentaries on KZbin by National Geographic is truly a gift; keeping the education and knowledge alive. 👏👏👏 May I also remind you of the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions. Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shockingly sad truth. 😔 In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return to rightful owners Native American people. Notorious global cardinal crimes the Christian West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 😔

In approximately 6500 bce, the coast of Norway had a huge landslide that flooded & decimated Doggerland by tsunamis, turned the Great Britian into an island with the tsunamis eradicating the lands nearby & created the North Sea. That's a flood!

[@maryellencook9528]

It stands to reason that when some of the polar ice caps and all of the ice sheets/glaciers melted at the end of the last Ice Age/ Younger Dryass, ALL of the oceans levels rose around the world. Margaret Mead, the famous sociologist, recognized that back in the 1960s.

[@maeve4686]

I was fine with you talking about the Great Flood and the Black Sea, I've always thought the Great Flood was related to the last ice age and the flooding of the Black Sea area. But connecting "El Niño" to the Flood is just: Stretching the Documentary!

[@georgegough9395]

There are overtones of Noah's flood in this video that border on sensational. If mountains still projected above flood levels, then there was sufficient land to make an Ark superfluous. Further, a mass balance consideration will show that in earth's closed system, rain must evaporate from seas that are concurrently replenished by this rain.

[@seeglines]

There's a good reason there are flood stories in every culture. Most camps/villages were close to a fresh water source. Rivers flood. Often. When a 100 year storm comes along it's gonna wipe out everything in its path. We know there was massive flooding from ice dams breaking, but there would have been a ton of local floods from the getgo as well, due to normal weather patterns.

[@hanswi336]

Right - 30% of the surface of earth is land surrounded by 70% of water. It's only natural and most likely that somebody somewhere is facing a flood.

[@steventhompson399]

No way, it was an ancient apocalypse dude, not normal weather, it was a catastrophe caused by comets and the younger dryas, Atlantis was destroyed, I heard Graham Hancock talk about it so it must be true [Sarcasm] Seriously though yeah you're probably right

I think the making of this took a lot of "doing". I find it interesting and thought provoking. Mr. Lin has many talents and is a searcher like a lot of us. True there are writings in many languages,oral stories but many details that can only be looked for. I really like seeing physical evidence. There are things that can be taken by pure faith but seeing only reinforces the real. Chan chan I had never seen,amazing. How could a society that intelligent believe sacrificing their children would stop anything. I actually think it was because of something else that nothing to do with natural elements. I think he did a great job,we still have much to learn. I enjoyed it,Thank you Mr.Lin. Keeping my eyes,ears and mind open!😊

[@ignaciorossel]

There is nothing meaningful here tobexpkain The universal flood. The huacos are the regular floods that occur in any mountain, being in Switzerland or any place along the Andes mountain or else. The Noah's flood is something else. Why we find sea shells on the top of the Andes mountains?

[@ignaciorossel]

The huacos are waters that run downward. The universal flood are ruso g waters to the top of the mountains. That is not difficult to figure out.

[@DwayneShaw1]

1st - it an odd assumption that Ice caps melted fast enough for sea levels to "surge" overnight rather than a more gradual rise 2nd - studies of Black Sea sediment near the Bosporus Strait shows flooding occurred over about 30 -50 years - not in a singular event 3rd - there is absolutely no indication that various flood myths are talking about a singular event - Humans tend to settle near water where floods are common.

The goddess Pele for volcanoes in Hawaii. And Hawaii existing in general The Norse had Loki thrashing in pain to explain earthquakes

[@jannettb7930]

@@icarusbinns3156 I know, that's the point. I was being facetious. The show mentioned a few different flood myths and stated they must come from somewhere. Then he meets up with this guy in the Mediterranean Sea that thinks he has found a sunken civilization, and they heavily imply that if they find evidence of this civilization, then they have found evidence of the biblical flood and it would prove the 'original' myth and all other flood myths come from here. My point is, people who live near large bodies of water have flood myths. People who live near volcanoes have volcano myths. People who live in quake-prone areas have earthquake myths. It's not a mystery, the flood myths come from experiencing local floods. Not an global flood where 7 people in the Mediterranean survive and repopulate the earth.

To create a storyline, great graphs documentary about 8,000 years ago people had fresh water that was important and when they lost that they lost their lives. Basically the ones that survived didn't have anything to drink and that's going to happen with our modern world and it's happening before our eyes. Loss of fresh water is going to destroy most of us.

[@ecmarks438]

Actually the fresh water still exists in the depths of the Black Sea but it is oxygen-deprived which preserved ancient wrecks. Also many fresh water rivers do drain into the Black Sea from Bulgaria, Romania and Ukraine. I watched another documentary that spent 3 years surveying and sampling the sea bed at various depths. Their conclusion was after the end of the Ice Age over many decades the rivers drained from the glaciers into the Black Sea as well as the Mediterranean levels rising and eventually carving the Bosphorus till it too could spill into the Black Sea. What surprised me is a deep current in the Bosphorous that carries the Black Sea fresh water back into the Mediterranean.
