Linguist here. In terms of the Indus Valley symbols shown at 11:07, I would (in case anyone is interested) say that it's highly likely that the symbols all represent a single object or phonetic sound but they might be slightly altered to indicate gender, plurality, ownership or other indications related to the context of the connotation (think: Polish noun forms and determiners). I.E. the symbols could convey 'my butterfly','her butterfly', 'two butterflies', 'the dead butterflies from the past', etc. It is unlikely, in my opinion, that each symbol connotes a distinct and separate meaning/sound since ancient communication always favored function over form. What this means is that due to limited materials, the imperative of being clearly understood, and the relative time and effort necessary to compose the written language would negate stylistic/artistic choices and lead us to believe that there was a definite intention to convey meaning rather than aesthetics. That's just my two cents. I could be dead wrong.

appreciate you adding your knowledge on the subject without asserting this is definitely the case but it definitely seems like a very probable explanation based on my limited knowledge. thanks for sharing your opinion as a professional in the field without assuming that it is correct. I personally agree with your take it seems more likely and practical but again we could both be dead wrong still you made some great points thanks for sharing! in fact there are still languages and dialects today that favour sort of easy contextual communication over specific communication. A good modern example i can think of would be the hadza hunter gatherer tribe of africa who still uses a very phonetic and contextual language for example many of the words for a certain animal arent a word for that animal but simply an imitation of the sounds the animal makes. so to reference a baboon in a sentence you make the sound a baboon makes this assists especially in a hunt because the other hunters know what type of animal they are tracking and adjust accordingly.

ASPIRING Linguist here - I haven't taken any classes yet (not counting KZbin University) but am going to college in August to do so Isn't it likely that early developed writing systems would be more similar to Mandarin than English? In the sense of conjugation and idk if there's a word for conjugation but for nouns It just seems to me that, typing this on my computer, it's really easy for me to make the change from "be" to "is" or "am", whereas someone having to carve this into ... whatever they used for writing would try to keep symbols drastically different to avoid confusion in case of inscription error? I seriously have no reason for thinking this aside from that it would be easier and that if I were the one designing this language, I would do it that way, leading me to think that these are just handwriting idiosyncrasies

@@samstromberg5593 well i think that is sort of the point this person is trying to make for all the reasons you just stated. if you think about it the character system used here isnt all that different than chinese characters. Its what i personally refer to as a contextual language where symbols can mean multiple things depending on what other symbols they are placed with. A very simple version of this that most people in the west would know is how aloha can mean both hello or goodbye but contextually you always know what it means because are you leaving or did you just arrive? I did some side anthropology classes and stuff in college and these are some of the subjects we discussed i am by no means an expert this is just my two cents... anybody more knowledgable feel free to correct me but this is how it appears to me. or also a single symbol can be representative of a verb so something like the image of cheetah (this isnt based on anything just making up an example) might not mean cheetah it may just means fast or quick...

One of the most powerful aspects of learning Basic First Aid (which includes CPR) isn't only the lives directly saved by the intervention that can now be provided but a larger empowering of everyday people. With the first step towards training, perhaps one of the greatest barriers to rendering aid of all kinds in a crisis is overcome for many; simply feeling powerless, lacking the first real clue as to what to do. Regardless of the need or ability to intervene directly, those who've taken this training have been shown to react better in crises generally, counting the "Bystander Effect" by ensuring someone on scene contacts 911, and all manner of help on a case by case basis. A little goes a very long way.

Yes Simon, I would like to see a video (or a part of a video) on the Pythagoreans. I really appreciate you covering the Indus Valley civilization as it gets too little attention. I visited the Punjab when traveling in Pakistan in the early 1980s, so I am interested in topics from this area. As for decoding the writing of the Indus Civilization, it reminds me of the Mayan system of writing. If I remember correctly archaeologists pecked away at the problem for decades until one very young man cracked the code. Genius is where you find it, and no one can predict when it will occur. Let's keep our fingers crossed...

Maybe it's just cause I have been rereading the Dune series (all of them) over the Summer. But I can't help hear the description of the Temple in Malta and not think the lowermost floor is probably just cistern for freshwater during the summer months which is why the stairs don't go all the way to the lower level's floor; you probably didn't need to go any lower to collect water and they used this as an early warning that water supply was getting too low to last much longer. Likely the temple was more of a Town Center in a Religious State hence having an upper floor that is more general, an inner set of temples on the second floor, and a massive vault of a room with no obvious purpose and a strange almost hidden stairwell. It likely served as a temple and collection/distribution center run by the Clerics that doubled as government.
@donaldwatson7698
@donaldwatson7698 Жыл бұрын
A cistern is a fascinating idea to solve the riddle, but would there not be some evidence of stored water? Long-term water lines, dried bacteria or mineral build-up related to water being found in the rock, etc.? Of course, this assumes that they'd even test for that, but the microscopic work of archaeology has become pretty remarkable of late.

My uni class travelled to Eleysis for a project of which I was head of, focusing around the cult, the arcitecture of the various structures that evolved from 700BCE to the late Roman times when the place was shut down as a "paganistic" site and a small church was built nearby. It's still one of the loveliest memories I have as an undergrad. If you're ever in Athens, do take the few mile trip to visit Eleysis, it's a really weird place, with the ancient ruins among a heavily industrial town. When we visited, we found flowers, candles and sweets left in a nook near the supposed entry to the Underworld, suggesting there's a handful of modern times worshipers there! A few of my friends and I were planning on investigating, maybe making a short documentary on this, but then the pandemic struck. Perhaps it's worth a trip back.

Yea but that doesn't explain the secrecy behind them and only is a small part of the festivities that lasted for days. Besides the use of ergot was something very common in ancient Greece it's not like they'd go through all this trouble to hide something everyone knew was happening. Also we know these rituals had something to do with the myth of demeter and Persephone but we don't know exactly how this all was tied together.

But just recently (possibly in the last 30 years) someone developed the actual script for the language. Most Hmong can't even read this "new script" tho but can read more of the English script, even if those Hmong can't even read English. I always found that pretty interesting.

The mystery of the Rohonc Codex makes me want to play the long game and fake some "important literature from an unknown language", writing some lengthy text in a fictional language with few, if any, hints to how to translate it, then either bury it in a time capsule that says not to open it until 2400 or something, or pass it down to my future kids and have them pass it down to theirs, so on and so forth, all so that in some distant era, when people find it, they spend ages trying to decode and translate the "lamguage", thrown off by a lot of random gibberish and such to complicate it, only for the it to somewhere say something like "Dear historians and archeologists of the future. I just wasted your time."

Hi Kahadi. Have you heard the saying, "As you sow, so shall you reap"? It says in effect that in the end we all get exactly what we deserve, no more and no less. So your dreams might come true. If I was King of Karma, I'd make sure that YOU were reborn to become the scientist of 2400 who frustrates his life away trying to decipher the nonsense he'd created 400 years previously when he was you. And part of your experience as that scientist would be to receive yourself the public humiliation and scorn that you're planning for others. As King of Karma I'd laugh at you just as you're gleefully laughing at making yourself a "force for ignorance" in the future. Can you see any moral fault in my plan? Take an honest look at yourself too. Cheers, P.R.

Wow, I knew that the Annie rescue doll was made from that girls death mask, I never knew that it inspired Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal song, lol! Also when I was younger I spent many years collect all kinds of books on any ancient civilizations from the area called Mesopotamia, and the Indus Valley people were one of my favorites, but since this was also around the late 1980s and early 1990s, the books I found had very little information on any of them, but that's also why I bought a lot of books about the whole area. I learned about the Sumerians, the Indus people, along with the Egyptians, Greeks and the Romans, and many others that existed back then, by reading all these different books. But now with the internet I have gotten to learn a whole lot more, thanks to channels like this one, well a lot of the ones Simon narrates of course. And so what I'm saying is I would welcome a whole video about the Indus Valley, as well as other Mesopotamian civilizations that aren't as well talked about as say Egypt of course!

I was thinking the song you were going to refer to was "Stayin Alive" by the Bee Gees. The beat of this song is the beat you are recommended to follow when you give CPR.

"What reason would a culture with limited resources, have to put such time and effort into building these intricate megaliths?" It's like you've never heard of the Easter Islands lol, upgrade the limited resources by a giant factor, and the effort into building intricate megaliths by an even larger factor...

Kudos on both the level of research accomplished and the depth of the questions asked and often answered. One of my interests is the various signs, symbols and even books produced by s Schizophrenia or Schizophrenia simplex. Also interesting is that some of the symbols shown appear to be similar to Greek Linear A or Linear B. Always good to hear the opinions involved. I’m hooked.

"L'Incconu de la Seine" is also better known to us today as "Resussa Annie". This lovely girl's face was used to make the resuscitation training dummy for First Aid lessons.

That connection between Annie, CPR, and Michael Jackson is wild! I had always wondered the meaning of the song and who this Annie was that he was addressing

Hi Simon, I think you need to take another round on the backstory of the save Annie doll. The face used is indeed from a real person, but from one that washed up in London.
