I don't know how people think the Polynesians wouldn't have gone to south America. They traveled thousands of miles to tiny obscure islands all throughout the Pacific. But when they got to Easter Island they just decided they were good, no need to go further, probably nothing there?

[@staywokecuhh]

I 100% agree. I'm of the personal opinion that there was intermingling between tribes before the advent of complex societies itself. Roughly 12-13,000 bc. We just need to find the evidence for it. Which is hard because at the time period I'm talking about, I imagine we would be mostly talking about individuals or very small groups with very little to no footprint.

[@aussieflintknapping]

There's genetic evidence to suggest they had contact with the west coast of South America

[@noktumwhatever753]

They most likely didn't actually end up there by sailing there, ample evidence now exists that there was once a continent there that gradually succumbed to rising oceans.

[@noktumwhatever753]

@@staywokecuhh There's plenty of evidence for that, Gobekli Tepe being the most famous site from that period.

[@staywokecuhh]

@@noktumwhatever753 I have heard of Gobekli tepe. It is a fascinating site, however, that isnt really an intermingling of tribes from different continents, was it? I guess what i was giving conjecture about was different peoples from across the ocean, meeting and exchanging since that time period. To my knowledge, Gobekli Tepe is not that, but rather, one of the very first religious sites that archeologist believe was a precursor to more complex societies.

The electric fish theory for the Baghdad Batteries is hilarious. Not only is it one of the funniest theories I've ever heard about an ancient artifact, its also the one that makes the most sense. It seems like exactly the kind of thing ancient medicine would screw around with. It also explains why it wasn't very widespread, since other cultures like the Romans probably thought it was stupid and not worth their time.

[@mariawhite7337]

Personally I think it was just a jar for a magic curse. We don't know if the remains of the vinegar was there WITH the jars at the same time as the copper and rods. The sealant of tar could be easily explained by not allowing the curse to escape or the magic to get out. It could even have been something like a dibukk box after all.

I think the answer to the Baghdad batteries is actually fairly simple; I think they were just being used to obtain copper vitriol. It has a tendency to produce fumes when trying to obtain it, which would explain why the pots were sealed, and many people use an electric current to speed up the process of obtaining it. If there was an electric current in the baghdad batteries I doubt the creators would notice it, but what they would notice is that their method was working quicker, hence why they scaled it up. And you may also be wondering "what about the fact that this was in a library with papyrus scraps?" Vitriol is a key ingredient to one of the strongest and permanent inks known to the post roman world, commonly called iron gall ink, which used either copper or iron vitriol reacting with crushed gall nuts. Of course, the batteries precede the proposed date which iron gall ink was thought to be discovered by a few hundred years, but I think it's still a strong possibility.

About the roman sculpture head at 6:36, I was thinking of the possibility of it being the survival of some previous roman shipwrecking, like, a roman ship sinked aroun the 1AD and this statue was floating with or without some wooden support like a chest at the ocean, it was found in the currently mexican sea around 14AD to 15AD, the people around this region found it strange, unique and used it as trade until someone powerfull got it and made it part of some kind of personal treasure, this kinda of explains how it got from rome to a central american tumb.

the Antikythera device is a computer, but it's an older version of a computer that isn't very common nowadays, it's an analog computer. Before the times of digital computers, which are very flexible because of their capability to process everything as binary data, there were analog computer, which usually could only process or solve a single very specific problem, such as astronomical phenomena predictions and so on, during WW1 and WW2, analog computers were still being invented, but quickly after the enigma machine they began advancements that would lead to the creation of the now much more common digital computer.

This absolutely sounds true. While encryption made these devices famous and likely led to the modern computers inventions (The wartime neccesity for enigma crackers was the only time in history when we would be motivated enough to create a computing device to spend millions on a single use device of that nature) we must admit that the bespoke nature of such devices means their use was exclusive and singular. Time keeping and calendars are a huge fascination of mankind and the ability to predict the rotations of the sun or passage of the moon, seems like the most likely cause for somebody to devote so much time and engineering to. We have to assume, like the enigma cracker, any device or machine of such complexity would take an extraordinary amount of time and money to make. Such a thing would likely need a royal sponsor to arrange. Finally, the tragedy of our computer data and storage devices is very obvious from an outsider perspective; Were our society wiped out or rediscovered, nobody at a future point would have a clue how to run a computer (such as a standardized electric plug current), or how to access the data of CDs, hard drives, or flash cards. A hard drive storing all of our biggest accomplishments would just be a shiny and intricately small box thing to future explorers that, likely by merely taking apart or scanning such a thing, would instantly wipe it or cause data compromise. This assumes either a very advanced or very simple civilization finds them... For that reason we can assume the voyager probe carried a solid metal record and in comparison to old world artifacts, none of our own are liekly to last very long. Considering all of our paper money would likely decay quickly, we can assume a future civilization would assume we live by trading goods. Then go on to interpret the churches, all with the same figures within (whether white Jesus or asian buddha) to be temples to our leaders, who seemed to somehow live for hundreds of years.

I think knowledge was more important to pass down back then. These people, all they had at night was stars to look at and observe for centuries. It was a different world and way of living. Knowledge was very important to them because it could be lost, as compared to the modern day where everyone can just Google an answer. They paid more attention to the stars. It was way more embedded in their life and beliefs. Pretty much everyone alive back then looked up at the night sky and observed it because they had nothing else to do at night. It's like everyone knowing what happened on the most recent episode of whatever TV show. Everyone watched it and knows what's happening.

We still play instruments and come together to hear performers live. We still doodle on our homework instead of doing it. And we all long to love and be loved, as we always have.

I agree with the user who claimed to "throw away" an ancient roman coin (how would one get this, and would you really throw it away just 'in case' somebody finds it) into an archeological site near los vegas, to mess with who ever "discovers" it. I believe that sentence alone provides a good theory for some, if not most, of these unusual finds. To spell it out. Yes, you've got the right idea... Humans have always been curious creatures, finding weird objects, we inevitably will keep them and further on show them to all of our friends. Even going so far as to have entire buildings where we keep only "weird", "Foreign," or "Historical" devices. Coupled with certain people like Mando482 who, for their own amusement, plant weird items in historic locations "Just to mess with people". When you combine both our reverence for odd items and a joking desire to plant such things, i think we arrive at that innate human curiosity which explains how many of these items came around to be where they are.

29:00 Polynesia definitely made it to South America. There are stone statues in the style of South America where both arms are out in front as well as a Chicken that lays blue eggs that is supposedly native to South America.

I think I remember something about Ancient Egyptian mummies having tobacco in them, and something about signs of syphilis in old world remains from before Colombian contact, which is supposed to be a big deal because syphilis is supposed to be a new world disease.

2:55 If there weren't scripts mentioning the computing device, we never would have thought ancient civilizations could have built something that advanced. This was just the only one found... it was never really 'out of place' for people who dug into it.

My theory is most likely the hammer in question comes from the 1640’s, (700/2 = 350) likely left there and forgotten about by a Spanish settler in Texas, as at the time Spain controlled the area and colonial settlements were already present by then.

“Hardcore creationist thinks humans were around 100 million years ago”. I thought they thought the whole universe isnt even that old lol

[@JeronimoStilton14]

It may have been a joke, but yeah typically it’s a hard line at 6000 years these days, at least by Ken Hamms current “approximation”

[@reubenc0039]

It truly is both a silly and unfortunate idea. Because of creationists, you either deny all life on earth was expertly crafted over billions of years by a genius, or you think that it was all done in a few thousand years at the same time and t rex ate tofu and kale in the garden of eden. No inbetween. No sense or reason

[@WoozyCool]

You're telling me this Harbor Freight hammer stuck in a rock *isn't* proof of creationism? Madness!

[@muskateer12345]

In regards to the Dendera Lightbulb , it could be a case of cargo worship. Like what happened in Africa when the locals started worshipping what they found belonging to the Europeans who were flying in airplanes overhead.

8:57 what if Roman’s did somehow pull up to Mexico at some point and it was never recorded because they never made it back

[@thepharaohnerd7235]

That's definitely a possibility!

I LOVE telling people about the sweet potatos. They are always shocked that Polynesians were able to do that. Like these people are well known for being able to travel long ways via these large rafts.

[@johnreel8728]

Theory: the Roman ship went off course on its original voyage and was eventually carried to the gulf coast by the trade winds. It’s likely no Romans survived the voyage, but it’s possible the vessel made a landing. I wonder how many times in history similar things have happened.

[@lonegrumpy4416]

the viking penny isn’t as shocking since the vikings and natives might have made contact and yes the vikings were in modern day canada

You should also look into the redheaded Polynesians. The ancient world was far different than what we imagine. People moved all over.

[@Sweet4chokoreeto]

I'm am Chilean and part native American, I live in Santiago so we went with my mother to investigate our indigenous roots. It is said that in Chiloe's archipelago there was two distinct populations Huilliche (us) and Chonos who spend most of their time at the sea in their canoes, they came sailing from the west, they didn't have much agriculture as huilliche people, so they traded a lot. Huilliche are related by language and customs with mapuche who occupied Chile and Argentina, our ancestors came at least 5k years ago, some people said since the last ice age because they have the word for tiger in their vocabulary and the only tiger in the Americas was the saber tooth tiger.

[@thepharaohnerd7235]

Very interesting, thanks for the info!

[@emperorofgondar]

Not really...saber-toothed "tigers" weren't actually tigers. They were from the tribe Machairodontinae which was more distantly related to modern cats than any modern cat species is to one another.A cat is closer to a tiger than Smilodon was to both. Though there used to exist a much larger subspecies of jaguar that inhabited the southern regions of South America-Panthera onca mesembrina. They have evidence of predation on extinct ground sloths and reached the size of lions and tigers

Re: The Baghdad Battery, from what I remember, the Mythbusters modified the design to extend the rod and cylinder out so it would be possible to connect wires to them and the original had no way to form a circuit.

[@thepharaohnerd7235]

I've heard that too, but I think the iron rod did project through the asphalt plug so maybe it could've (theoretically) connected to something

[@ssokolow]

@@thepharaohnerd7235 Possibly, but it's not going to form a working electrical circuit unless you can connect to the copper tube too.
