Uncovering The Lost Seas That Connected The Ancient World | Alexander's Lost World | Odyssey

[@lenajaro6427]

I am so glad David Adams is back. He is a true traveller, respectful, humble, kind; and through the way he presents- with passion, humility and clarity he has earned my admiration. Thank you David for your work and ability to convey the feeling of faraway lands and choosing this territory is a great step to unknown. ❤

[@Notfar-rightjustright]

This isn't recent it's about 10 year old

[@SarahAndrews24]

@lenajaro6427 Agreed...i have greatly enjoyed his series Journeys to the Ends of the World..he has a great voice for narration as well..

[@moonlover2022]

Nope, this is old documentary of 2013.

[@riharikaa809]

This is how history should be investigated , explore all scenarios and never rule out the unknown.

[@jimcockburn4652]

This is Ancient History presented to us in a very informative manner. An excellent short history that deserves acknowledgement.

[@grantsmythe8625]

I'll bet that John David Adams has enough material to make this journey a small series, which would have been wonderful.

[@ESS284]

Just in case you don't know, it is part of a 6-part series called "Alexander's Lost World" and Odyssey have uploaded 2 others parts recently i believe.

[@brettmuir5679]

Yes, and a new one was posted 3 days ago. It has a video glitch for the first 9 minutes...if you need to skip ahead :)

[@Alex-jw1np]

Finally someone shedding light and taking into account what was said in the ancient texts. It baffles me that modern archaeologists and historians pay no attention whatsoever to what was already found and lost. I have been reading plato and plutarch and it seems almost obvious to me that the greeks go way back than 10.000BC, all this mythological history has a base, and with modern day technology we should be able to find what was once lost to time.

[@SJLamb-te3dt]

It is fascinating to me also. History does not skip from people to people over time like stones being dropped in sand one people then the next then the next. It grows organically one people becoming the next. Of course they would write and have oral histories of the peoples who came before. Of course this information would be passed down and become legends or mythologies. Yes it is true that they have become warped over time but that does not mean that they lack value. If there are resources saying that something was going on in the far past in such and such a place and time, it seems only sensible to me to investigate. Especially if ancient resources back that claim.

[@WaseemPPervez]

Just how fragile human society is. Beautiful conclusion of beautiful documentary 😍

[@geoffhunter7704]

This is an old series from 15yrs or so ago but well worth seeing again,excellent!!!!

[@Andy_Babb]

I’ve been trying so hard to find this series. Thank you.

[@Silenttreatment1975]

Your Documentaries are AMAZING! I fall asleep to them at night, and I don't mind rewinding them in the morning to hear what I missed.

[@davidbarrett590]

I find this whole concept fascinating. The ancient sources speak of the importance of Alexander's navy in his push East but I have often wondered why a navy sailing basically off the Indian Ocean coast of Iran could do much. This explain how and makes me wonder how much trekking enormous distances Alexander actually did. I would love to understand how this enormous climate change took place in that area. Excellent documentary.

[@ESS284]

Best series that's gone up in a while IMO! Thanks

[@shawnsmith9581]

Love David Adams shows please keep them coming

[@johnlorenzswain949]

I love this guy this is my inspiration today❤❤🎉

[@Andy_Babb]

I’m really hoping to get all the episodes here. 🤞🏼

[@rowdysgirlalways]

I think that over-flights with LIDAR drones would be incredibly valuable in discovering ancient geology and archeology sites throughout these previously ignored areas. There is so much to learn about our history and world in the whole of Asia.

[@jesselioce]

Can't wait for part 2

[@Thundergusset]

Part 2 please 🙏

[@zitakenny7787]

I believe Part 2 is titled The Hunt for Ancient Afghanistan's Lost Metropolis/Alexanders Lost World/Odyssey.

[@reezdog]

Wow I need to see the other part now!

[@ClarkyMalarky]

I would have loved to have seen rowers in their time, huge upper bodies, precise in their movements and efficiency 😮

[@gabrielavuong689]

Glad to see you David Adams. Waiting for more amazing journeys

[@SamWelbourneGuitar]

Very good! Thanks for sharing. 🙏

[@gjohnston281]

Great video, lots of great info , makes you think

[@BenSHammonds]

this episode is very very fascinating, the way that the Earth has changed over eons does bring a different understanding to old myth and legend

[@ruthimakoff5646]

I was looking for David Adams that his last series where were on line 4 years ago. welcome David I enjoy your program very much! Thank you very match!

[@SteffenTimo-di4id]

I love Alexandrine times. If anyone loves Hellenistic history and warfare I hotly recommend Schwerpunkt's videos series

[@whaleshrimp111]

Fascinating! My life's work has been traveling rivers around the world. There is so much to see and learn once you get beyond the end of the roads. Don't wait too long before you start on the trail to other worlds now just ruins in the desert.

[@Mirrorgirl492]

Truly interesting documentary, thank you.

[@robroy6804]

i wonder if greta knows about the old CC no pollution

[@Chrisfeb68]

David Adams make some great documentaries.

[@bobsingh7949]

marvellous stuff. humbling. one day my city will be ruins and dust too, and the archeologists will wonder about us. i would not mind having a peek into the future from my now, perhaps a 1000 years. greetings from western Canada

[@prairrie]

Absolutely stunning .

[@debobrotaroy1252]

Excellent attempt to explore the remains of history ❤

[@boba2783]

Great stuff

[@MedicatedMemory]

I love watching these at 2am

[@user-McGiver]

Oxus is Greek for ''oxen'' (ox) and the naming of the river symbolizes its might, power, and importance for civilization just as the animal, was and still is to some forgotten by time areas... the bottom line of the doc, is that ''climate change'' is as natural as weather is... the climate is constantly evolving, changing to numerous parameters... I don't know if the Argonautes went so far East... but the fact that a so important river has a Greek name shows something... after all the Greeks were always about trading, exchanging, and enriching through trade... not conquering territories and enslaving peoples... that's not us! that's not our legacy to the world!

[@elenivargis126]

David rocks!!

[@comet0845]

Fascinating 👏

[@jameswatters9592]

"ancient texts" my arse, I took a couple of minutes checking wiki and there are maps only 120 years old sitting there plus numerous other references, I thought he had discovered something new

[@joydeeproy1580]

Indus valley civilization also disappeared during the same period.

[@harrybruijs2614]

The 10000 and Xenophon were there before Alexander of Macedonia. Read the Anabasis

[@NYCfrankie]

Im so jealous of this man I'm a professional poker player so my job has allowed me to travel around the world I've been to every continent except Antarctica but I've never been to Afghanistan or Iraq or Iran and there is so much history there one of my greatest dreams is to see Persepolis in person and other places that alexander saw

[@silvershadchan4085]

I wish David Adams did a documentary telling the history of Zoroastrianism.

[@kcairns1]

There’s a channel called “let’s talk religion” that has a great video on this

[@fuzzy5610]

I don’t know what’s with all these comments thinking this is some new doco, it was filmed over a decade ago and aired in 2013

[@jdougn2255]

Where did 200' or more of water level go!?

[@Ambassador_Gkar]

Same place it always has: conversion into ice. The Earth undergoes regular cycles, between interglacial, & glacial periods. Contrary to what the academics, controlling the mainstream narrative, would have you believe, we are heading back into a glacial period: which equals colder temperatures. The imminent breakdown of the AMOC, Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, & the ocean gyres, which direct colder currents, from the poles, towards the equatorial regions, support this hypothesis.

[@Lou-tl6qi]

Where’d all the water go? Antarctica? Makes the pre ice maps more believable but how ? Poles moved?

[@Ambassador_Gkar]

Not in this short timeframe: just part of Earth's life cycle. Movement between glacial & interglacial periods, with a move back towards glacial

[@stringpicker5468]

9000 years ago, how good were the Greek ships? Even 6 000 years ago.

[@henriknielsen9674]

I've always heard that it was Afghanistan, the story came from

[@jeraldbaxter3532]

Thank you for this video! The idea of aquatic connections and trade routes in the ancient world is fascinating; we can never know the complete truth (such a chimerical word, truth), only form theories based on material remains, but this documentary, besides being entertaining, is intiguing in the theories it presents. And the observation that climate change is not a new problem, but in fact something as old as time. Granted, humans have exacerbated the problem, especially in the last 200 years, it is good to hear a varied perspective. Also, as they are sitting around the campfire, consuming mutton broth and drinking vodka, one of the guides offers the toast, "chin chin"; curious how he uses a phrase usually associated with the England of the past. Did the phrase originate in Central Asia and made its way to England? Did the guide have access to the internet and a taste for English culture? Who knows? Interesting how the complexities of the world. But in the end, that is the theme of this documentary.

[@NormalFamous]

Get away from the edge of that well!!!!

[@dennissalisbury496]

Could a Ship Canal reconnect this ancient water trade route?

[@lemarart692]

You draw a completely different anatomy for the past ,or brought up the past fossilized body of this region. Nobody had dan it.,! But you did . The one thing which I and probably many were waiting for .!!!ha ha in Avesta had said that zartosht’s religion will come back to life by some one called “shais. I think you are one of those ,home brings back the greatness of this region.We thank you very much. 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@brucemcbain3150]

Didn’t Alexander come from Macedonia, not Greece?

[@theflame5919]

In those ancient times, during Alexander, there was no Greece. It's a simplification. Back then, what we call Greece now, was some 500 independent City states, or 500 countries, all sovereign states. Where was a common Greek identity, and culture, but no unified Greek state. Macedonia, was one of the largest and most powerful of all those, fallowing catastrophic Peloponnesian war, which diminished the power of Athens and Sparta, and their respective allies.

[@IoannisKazlaris]

Alexander the Great was from Macedonia which was part of Greece (and even to that day is a part of Greece), much in the same way that Thrace is a part of Greece, much in the same way the the Ionian islands are part of Greece and much in the same way the Texas is part of the US.

[@Yiannis2112]

Good Lord, is this ever gonna stop?

[@mariefaisal98]

Is it David the Isrealite king? Or George V11 the British crown Prince (king?, and or the Persian king ?.

[@cruisepaige]

Uh what happened at the end?

[@mariefaisal98]

Is it David the Isrealite, or is it George V11 the British crown Prince (king). The Persian king.

If the Caspian Sea and Black Sea were connected some 10,000 years ago, then they should share the animal that they live in the sea. However, they don’t for instance, there is no shark in Caspian Sea Unlike Black Sea. aspiration fish for caviar in Caspian Sea un like Black Sea. And 10,000 or 20,000 years is not enough time for evolution and change to take place.overall, I think this two sea never connected at all.

[@musewaif4213]

Narrator claims it was "Climate change" that ended the ice age. Apparently he's never heard of Randall Carlson.

[@amandab.recondwith8006]

Like Julius Caesar, Alexander was a genocidal maniac. He probably killed millions of men, women and children to satisfy his lust for power. On the other hand, I'm always fascinated by the cavalier rattling off of time by these historians. "Oh, it was only 4,000 years ago," or "It was 12,000 years ago - yadda yadda yadda." Our conception of time is warped. Modern civilization has only existed for maybe 500 years, and Christianity has "only" been around 2,000 years. 12,000 years is an impossible distance in time none of us can even get our brains around. A THOUSAND YEARS is a long long time! Twelve of them is impossible to fathom!

Sad that this region is so poorly explored archaeologically, but it does create the prospect of magnificent discoveries to come in the future. 🗿🛕🏜

[@aliskandari]

Actually, it's not the case. Turkmenistan as a whole and Turan Depression in particular were explored and excavated quite well during Soviet era and some time after its collapse. So we have quite extensive knowledge about bronze age sites, Parthian era, Persian and Turkic rule. The problem is this work was mostly abandoned after Turkmenistan declared independence and few soviet archeologists passed away some time after that
