I recall watching one of those archaeological dig documentaries years ago, as I often have. The researchers were analyzing the bones of what was obviously an ancient warrior from the Iron Age period, a contemporary of ancient Greece. IIRC, they found him buried with bits of weapons in his grave, and his bones showed signs of violence. Yet they acted like they didn't know why the bones around the left shoulder joint, where the muscles connected, were so heavily built up on that side. They guessed wrong, and they ended up making an obviously incorrect one. Guesstimating he was some kind of servant or porter, despite being given a military burial with his armaments. Left arm on an ancient warrior getting a regularly heavier compared to the right? It was obviously because he often carried and used a shield, as so many did back then. When I saw these Doctors overlook such a common thing, I began wondering how many other oversights have been made. Seemed like a rookie mistake, caught on film that time.

It depends on the social and/or scientific "environment". For "nations" like the one in the US (the quotation marks are necessary, deal with it), where the exact TIME of disembarkment is known, along with the exact date(s) of declaring said nation, a thousand years may sound as an awful lot of time. For nations that are around for millennia, like the Chinese, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans/Italians, Goths/Germanic people - to name just a few - a thousand years is indeed 'meh'. The Great Pyramid of Giza is 4580 years old, give or take a few months, do you think Egyptian Archeologists get excited by a discovery that is 1000 years old?
@anyawillowfan
@anyawillowfan 3 жыл бұрын
@@MaegnasMw I'm British so know that 1000 years both is and isn't a long time. But even in places that have been inhabited for millennia, something lasting 1000 years is impressive as while there a decent number of items from that time found, it still isn't enough to give an accurate depiction of life at that time because the majority of items have not survived. So yes, I think if an archeologist found something 1000 years old in Eygpt they probably would be excited, especially if it's something that adds to our understanding of the time. Yes, something is less likely to last 10000 years (and is more exciting as we have no writing from the time), but 1000 years is still exciting for anyone interested in social history.

There's more to the Piltdown Man story. Archaeology was rife with scientific racism back then (as with any other field) and British archaeologists were not keen on the discoveries starting to come out of Africa that suggested humans originated there. They were so eager to confirm their assumption that humanity evolved in Europe (specifically in Britain) that they didn't look too critically at the find until far later, when it became obvious that it was a fake.

Back in the early 1970s when it was trendy for young people to backpack in Europe, I was doing just that when I went to a museum connected with Heidelberg University that displayed flat stones that had Hebrew letters carved in bas-relief on them. A 19th century paleontology professor, who didn't realize his students were pulling his chain, kept finding these stones at digging sites, and believing them to have lain underground all along, supposed them to be God's words fossilized. He proved it by arranging the stones to read "Let there be plants", "Let there be animals". and the like and staunchly refused to listen to saner minds that explained that spoken words have no substance and so cannot be fossilized. I tried googling this to find out if he ever caught on to the prank or if he took his claim with him to the grave. This particular fraud was way too bizarre to leave any footprint on history, but I would imagine his students finally exposed the prank and he died of shame and remorse.

Heard a story once that maybe Simon's group could check out.Way I heard the story was a lady in South Africa was very interested in very old ways the early African people painted different designs and pictures on rocks.She found a very old man that knew how the original paints were made. After learning how to make the different colors,the lady studied the old art,then painted some rocks that she used in her garden.Several years later the new local authorites accused her of stealing old art work and tried to have her arrested.She was finally able to prove that the paintings were only a few years old,after local government authorties had the pictures were hundreds of years old.

This reminds me of a comedic coffee table book a friend had. It takes place in the future where Archaeologist are excavating a motel with skeletons still in their beds and they got everything wrong. They thought it was a mausoleum and each room was a crypt, the bathroom was the family shrine and the toilet seat was a priest necklace. There were others but that's all I recall.

This video is proof that you should never get your hopes up. Many of these hoaxes would've been proven fake a lot sooner than they were if people didn't get overly excited and publish their "findings" before doing proper research on these "artifacts". Even if you spend your whole life waiting for something like this to happen, you still have to be vigilant in your research when it finally does.

Just an idea. If it's not too politically incorrect, it would be funny to see how different historical events are narrated in different countries, some examples: -80 years war (Spain, Netherlands) -King john of England (history is written by winners or in this case monks) -James I the conqueror ("Catalonia" and "Spain") WOW after reading about historical negationism/revisionism I think it's a bad idea. Some historic events are too hot to handle and it could ignite the flames of hate. I'm going to have a laugh reading about some "historical" evidence anyway.

I don't know why the editor of National Geographic had to publish a retraction about Archaeoraptor, as NG's statement was that it's long arms and small body scream Bird, and it's long stiff tales screams Dinosaur. That description is exactly correct, whether or not it was a fake.
