The Forgotten Ancient Civilizations Iceberg | PART 1

Patreon Link: patreon.com/ThePharaohNerd
The audio at 9:14 is way louder than I thought it'd be, sorry about the surprise.
So since you guys seem to have really liked the last iceberg I made, I decided to create another one - THE FORGOTTEN ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS ICEBERG! I’m not referring to the the sort of forgotten civilizations your crazy uncle believes in, I’m referring to ancient civilizations that just don’t get enough the attention they deserve.
The way the iceberg works is that the more obscure a civilization is, the deeper it’ll be. Unfortunately, the iceberg has so many names in it that this episode (yeah there’s gonna be a few), we’ll only be able to cover the first three layers of it, but that’s still 22 distinct civilizations.

In west Java part of Indonesia, we also have some forgotten kingdoms such as the Kingdom of Kendan (precursor to Galuh), Saung Agung of Purwakarta, Tapak Agung of Garut if not mistaken. Not a lot of people here knows a lot about these, even most of the Sundaneese people today never even heard about these kingdoms history from their elders...

There's so many cultures just completely lost to history apart from specific artifacts and graves. Any culture that never developed writing and made their structures out of earthworks and wood is almost certainly a large mystery in modern times. For the longest time we thought that Bronze Age Northern and Central Europe was just thinly populated wilderness with small settlements and villages spread across long distances. Then they discovered the Tollense valley battlefield, with the remains of thousands of warriors from across Europe, armed with metal weapons and clearly organized enough to assemble in such a large number. Now we know that apparently this place we once thought of as a remote corner of civilization might've been more organized and in contact with all the great Bronze Age cultures than we ever thought, and if we never found these remains we'd still never have known. How many other places across the world are still there, yet to be found, telling the lives of peoples long forgotten by humanity as a whole?

[@MajoraZ]

Some clarifications about the Mesoamerican stuff here, though you did a pretty good job already: There's been a fair amount of debate (which you allude to) about how much of what we call Olmec style artwork throughout Mesoamerica outside of the Olmec Heartland area (15:25) is actually a sign of Olmec political/military domination, demographic spread, trade, or simply the style being in vogue and other cultures and linguistic groups borrowing the art style and iconography. I'm admittedly not fully well read on the arguements involved, but my understanding is that most "Olmec" sites in the Valley of Mexico like Tlatilco or down in Oaxaca were probably the latter explanations rather then the former. This also extends to how much of a singular "mother' civilization they really were: My impression from keeping up with conferences and the literature (though moreso on other parts of Mesoamerica) is that it's increasingly the view that stuff like urbanism, rulership, perhaps practices like bloodletting etc were being developed simultaneously (especially in relation to the Maya of the time) from 1400-900ish BC, and the Olmec were just one of the more major groups doing it/their style is what became popular. In West Mexico for example, the Capacha were also doing innovations in ceramics which spread around quite a bit during the same period, though it's my understanding that West Mexico took longer to fully urbanize and form large political states. There's also some debate about if the so called Jaguar features of the sculptures and masks mentioned at 15:54 are actually feline features or not. Beyond that, some neat stuff to note is that the famous stone head sculptures are actually re-sculpted from another sculpture type (seen at 17:01) which may have acted as thrones for which were re-worked after they died. David S. Anderson has a great thread on this on tqweitter! The specific mask seen at 15:45 was also excavated from the Great Temple in Tenochtitlan (The Aztec capital), being one of the most extreme examples of the Aztec preforming excavations or otherwise acquiring goods from far off and older Mesoamerican civilizations (since Tenochtitlan was founded ~2000-2500+ years after the mask would have been made!), something they did extensively with Teotihuacano art (which I'll get to further down). My last clarification here is that it could be clearer that the Isthmian script was the same script used by the Epi-Olmec culture (the script is also just called Epi-Olmec), and that the 1400-400BC date range (as far as I know) would be including Epi-Olmec rather then just Olmec sites: the transition between the two cultures occurred earlier then 400BC. I have a LOT I could say on Teotihuacan, in fact I helped Ancient Americas do his 40 minute video on it (and even that was cut down a lot: We used to have a pinned comment up with extra info and links to extra but KZbin randomly removed it, we'll get it back up at some point!): Firstly, Teotihuacan is way, way bigger then most people realize it is: Photos do not do it justice since much of it has been built over by modern towns or is covered in soil today: The main planned urban grid alone covers between 18 and 22 square kilometers depending on how you measure it, with the entire site area including suburbs covering 37 square kilometers. Even the maps from the Millon mapping project like at 33:45 and 33:52 don't fully capture how big it is, because each one of those "small" rectangles indicating a building are either massive temples or large palace/villa compounds which acted as apartment residences as the video says, each of which would have dozens or hundreds of rooms, big open air courtyards (like the art at 33:49 depicts of the Quetzalpapalotl compound's main courtyard), and contrary to what the video says, ALMOST ALL of those residences had the brillantly painted frescos seen in the video: In fact, almost all of the city's ~100,000 denizens (recent research has shifted it down a bit from the former 150k estimate, but 100k is still one of the world's largest cities at the time) would have lived in these compounds which were essentially akin to Roman villas or the palaces in other Mesoamerican cities. There were smaller residences with just a few rooms littered around the outskirts of the main urban grid, but these are literal 1-2 pixel sized dots on most uploads of the millon map, and goes to show just how big each building in the map you can easily see really are. In general, Teotihuacan had weird city planning: most Mesoamerican cities had temples and palace and ball courts and other fancy buildings organized for ritual alignment or community viewing around big plazas forming a dense planned urban core, and then suburbs interspersed with agricultural land radiating around that, in some cases for dozens or hundreds of kilometers: Teotihuacan instead has a huge core urban area covering more space then it's suburbs, with the urban zone adhering to a grid and organized around a big central road instead of plazas, plus the city has almost no ball courts or as mentioned in the video, depictions of rulers, etc: The city may have been a republic or a democracy due to that, the relatively egalitarian housing, etc: Some other Mesoamerican cities had more representative political models, like Tlaxcala or Monte Alban for part of it's history. To go on a bit of a tangent, in general, most structures in Mesoamerican made of stone for temples, palaces, and other stuff in or around urban cores or more elite areas of suburbs, basically the stuff other then small commoner homes (though as I said, Teotihuacan had most of it's commoners in fancy palaces anyways, and some early sites such as some Olmec ones or later poorer/rural towns used adobe even for their palaces and temples) would have been covered in smooth white stucco and then richly painted in murals, covered in sculptural facades like what's seen in 34:14 for the Feathered Serpent temple (though the paint is worn there), etc. Stuff only looks grey and worn and like cobblestone today due to erosion. So what you see in that photo, for the Quetzalpaplotl complex painting by Jorge Acosta , etc would have been more like what all the other pyramids and buildings seen in the video would have looked like. It's a shame KZbin hates links or else I'd link to some 3d reconstructions or other painted ones, but David Romero and Anxo Miján Maroño with TRASANCOS 3d have some good rendered reconstructions, to name two examples, though the latter's doesn't have the exact locations correctly for some of the random compounds, and excludes some of the city's canalized rivers. On that note, like a lot of large Mesoamerican cities, Teotihuacan had some pretty sophisticated water management systems. As I said, multiple rivers were converted into channels or canals which were recoursed through the city's grid layout, and the Ciudadela complex in front of the Temple of the Feathered Serpent (which was also arranged to appear perpendicular to some of the rivers, as if they spewed out of the temple) may have even been able to flood it's plaza for rituals, like how the Roman Coliseum is claimed to be able to do so. Many residences had reservoirs, and plumbing systems and even toilets, though there's not a lot of firm conclusions about what the drains and channels in those residences were for exactly or if/how the toilets connected to them or some of the other water management systems. Speaking of things that are unclear, so to is it's military or political influence over other parts of Mesoamerica: Sort of like with the Olmec, certainly Teotihuacano style art and architecture spread very far, as far as Guatemala over a thousand kilometers away, but if that means Teotihuacan actually conquered (or especially administered, most Mesoamerican states didn't generally directly adminster their subject cities) those places is iffy, though it for sure conquered and somewhat oversaw other cities and kingdoms in Central Mexico. There are Maya inscriptions (and to be clear, Teotihuacan did have it's own writing system and inscriptions, shared with some other Classic period sites in Central Mexico, but there's not a lot of them and most are just calendrical dates, so even just if it's pictographic or logogram based etc is debated) which assert Teotihuacan conquered Maya cities and some researchers think they installed rulers on them, but other researchers disagree and the genetic evidence from remains of say Copan rulers seems negative. In any case, Teotihuacan definitely had sustained and regular contact with Maya cities as evidenced by the Teotihuacano goods in those sites and Maya goods in Teotihuacan (the city actually had ethnic neighborhoods, not just Maya ones but also Zapotec, Gulf Coast, and West Mexican communities) and what may be embassies for each other in both Tikal and Teotihuacan. As said in the video ,and as I alluded to earlier, the city still left a huge impact on Mesoamerica even after the city had a steep decline around 650AD (though it was never fully abandoned): The Aztec did not merely just work it into their creation myths as the site where the gods created the current, 5th version of the world, but the Mexica of Tenochtitlan specifically also adopted Teotihuacano style art, architectural, and some urban design conventions, including ones which hadn't before caught, on with other cultures, as a sort of "Teotihuacano revival style", and did excavations at Teotihuacan, bringing back artifacts back to Tenochtitlan, as well as refurnishing some shrines there, with kings doing pilgrimages there, something you see also with Cholula and Tula and other sites seen as important city centers which ties into the concept of a Toltec "Tollan" (which is a can of worms I'm NOT getting into here!) And that's ALMOST everything I want to say, but I didn't quite have enough space, so two small things in a reply below!

[@MajoraZ]

CONTINUED: So, the two last little things: The Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan may not actually be the second biggest pyramid in Mesoamerica after the Great Pyramid of Cholula: Depending on how you measure and estimate stuff or define what counts as one structure, the La Danta acropolis at El Mirador or the Tonina Acropolis may be up there (possibly even above Cholula) too: Both of those were about as tall or taller then the Cholula and Sun Pyramid, and are similarly very wide and voluminous, though exactly how big they are isn't consistently reported on. Other pyramids like some at Tikal, Tenochtitlan's Great Temple (or Tlatelolco's, which was apparently even bigger then Tenochtitlan's despite Tlatelolco essentially being a subject subcity/city quadrant of Tenochtitlan), the new Great Temple Cholula built after the aforementioned one was abandoned, etc would also be in the 75m-60m height range all the others are usually reported as being, though probably didn't have nearly as much mass/volume. Next, while the Andes isn't my area, it's my understanding that Tiwanku was less a large empire (like the Wari/Huari was) and more just a kingdom, though I'm admittedly not super clear on the technical specifics of that distinction (again, in say Mesoamerica, even the Aztec Empire was really more a network of states then a singular unified imperial regime)

The Yanomamo culture in the Amazon are also quite intriguing. Napoleon Chagnon went to study them in around the 1970s or 80's. They worship blood-eating spirits called "Hekura" which shamans summon/conjure to magically attack the villages of their enemies. One of the Hekura is called "Biyedira". Also the villagers snort hallucinogens which is a very common religious practice among South American tribal peoples.

45:20 Don't be stingy, now... Fantastic video, I'm really impressed w/ the content man.. There's some other "iceberg" centered channels popping up w/ content that doesn't seem to have the same heart or soul yours does... And consequently they seem to be able to put out 40 minute videos twice a week.. But you can tell they're reading ChatGPT.. They didn't write their own script. They never proofread it. They don't do extra vocal takes... It's just to say I know how much work can go into a video, and also how LITTLE work can go into a video sometimes.... This is very much the former and you should be very proud of the content you've clearly worked hard on. And thank you for that, really.

I was half expecting Ancient Aliens trash when I came across this video. Thanks for assuring us early on lmao. Great stuff.

[@robertworton2394]

Great video bro!

[@tofuwwater]

Woah. I only vaguely knew about the Moai but I had no idea there were so many. That is so fascinating.

[@Venuk]

Great vid!

[@thepharaohnerd7235]

Thanks!

[@qwip]

really interesting video, enjoyed it 10/10 also off topic, but your voice sounds like a combination of Wendigoon and moistcr1tikal :D pretty neat combo if you ask me.

[@dannyhernandez265]

It does. Lol😂

This is a great iceberg and video. Hopefully KZbin will see sense and remonetize your channel - we all need more high quality history content. Good luck with University.

i went to one of the cliff dwelling sites in mesa verde colorado. I got to go down into one of the kivas there. It was amazing. We learned how there was lots of tooth erosion bc they ground down their maize with stone that got into it as a fine powder and wore their teeth down over time.

Going to need part II soon 🤙🏽

[@Alissongleb]

the very short Hittite joke at 17:25 was more than enough to remind me to give a like. Amazing video! just wish some parts were not so loud, they kinda hurt my ears

[@panchora99]

I loved this video. I like learning about lost history and ancient history of the americas.

[@bigdaddy2429]

Hope you keep making these videos

[@kekero540]

for anyone out there If you like this subject matter and just how ingenious humanity is in surviving and thriving in various environments and places i would suggest the ancient americas channel which is one of the hands down best history YT channels i have found.

[@Herb.]

This was fantastic!

[@thepharaohnerd7235]

[@shawngraham3598]

[@altareggo]

Can't wait for Part 2!!!!

[@kuzter1737]

Really interesting video!

[@SylvainsRamblings]

Goes hard

[@cringebread9503]

Great video, I can't wait for part 2. Otherwise, you could put Vinča culture on the iceberg if you haven't already.

[@akai4942]

I KNOW MOST OF THE LIST OMG YOU BOOSTED MY CONFIDENCE A LOT Still there are many I don't know about, i'm glad you made these. Like wtf are the vettones? idk i'm soon gonna find out.

[@wigwam5409]

really cool video 👌

[@user-lc6fg8hb9n]

I'm proud that we learned about the Nok culture, Olmecks, and Scythians at school.

[@pringelsthegamefreak]

Very fascinating and awesome video!! Surprised by some that I knew about. But I'm most interested in learning about the ancient civilizations that we don't know at all. I've heard of The Indus Valley Civilization, Gobleki Tepi, Teotihucuan, Canaan, Nubia, etc. But the rest, no idea lol. Also being from Arizona, born and raised, I find it awesome and cool that ancient Anasazi tribe once inhabited areas here. I gotta visit those sites at some point in my life!

[@thepharaohnerd7235]

I'm so glad that my video brought those sites to your attention, I would love to visit Arizona and see them for myself!

[@drago939393]

Ey yo, I remember those AI videos - very fun - but I never got to watching the iceberg... Good to see that it exploded and that, yet, this video already eclipsed it! Props to you for your work, good luck with future content!
