Asking "where the sea people come from" is like asking where pirates come from. This is a name of convenience to describe various groups engaging in certain types of behaviour. The Sea Peoples is a modern word used to describe multiple groups of people rather than some unified force like this Atlantean Empire he thinks actually existed beyond Plato's writings. Can you imagine if 2400 years from now people were arguing this fervently about the existence of Middle Earth or the Moon Pandora?

"There is a lot of stuff that shouldn't be there. For example..." [picks two examples from historical times, perfectly aligned to the tech and the knowledge of the time in that region] "I'm not saying that they were some gifts for advanced civilizations, I'm not trying to lump them with all that stuff... My point is that there are lots of things technologically out of place" So why did you pick them as examples, Dan? Can't you use any _real_ examples of ancient advanced technology?

Well, the thing about that "Antikmatera" mechanism, or whatever it is called (that rusty piece of crap with gears and shit), is that it is not at all an "Out of Place-object." But I can understand why that idea is "out there" (because most people aren't that interested in eating Ancient Greek texts. The ancient Greeks, they themself did write quite a lot about how they could use mechanical technology, with gears and shit. They even built "mechanical robots" ("automatons") in the lioness of everything from human beings to flying birds, and most things in-between I am sure of. They even speculated about what could happen is some Ruler got hold of a "super advanced War-Robot with Artificial Intelligens, far superior to humans). And they came to a conclusion, that it wouldn't matter at all if that ruler was a "friendly" ruler, or if he were an "evil" ruler. Because anyone with access to that Supreme, Total Power these "War-Robots" could realize, would eventually become an Evil Dictator. I.e. It just can not be an "Out of Place-Object" if it is so well known throughout the culture that is was a theme in the philosophical and dramatical texts of the day. Sadly enough, every single object like that has been destroyed by time, and we only have this "Antikmatera Mechanism" left. So we dont really know how far that technology reached. Was it present in the Persian empire, for example? It would be so crazy to imagine just that, at least in their royal households and so on. An.d, the same technology based on Wood, instead of bronze, wouldn't that be the natural way to understand it, and hos a technology like that evolved over time - from simple wood-based mechanics, to much more sophisticated examples made of metals. Remember that the Automatons found its way back into society again, after the dark Middle Ages. Perhaps it survived in or near power centers like the Byzantine empire and so on? Who knows. But - it just isn't an "Out of Place-thing." Just because "you" dont know what it is doesn't mean that nobody understands or know about it. That Bearded Electrician-Dan, he most certainly didnt knew about it anyway. He should study a little bit more, and I really can recommend everything from the classical period. They wrote about themself, but when WE are reading it, now at present day, we can so easy interpret it as almost perfectly similar to our own time and world. It was written more than 2000 years ago, 2500 actually. And we can still recognize our self in their words.

I pointed out how he was not saying the same thing that History for Granite was saying and all he could say was that he was in "contact" with HFG and that if it was a misinterpretation, HFG would've said something about it. When I pointed out the actual parts of the theory that he was misinterpreting using HFG's own words, he just ignored me.

He's so bad at acting that he can't help but expose his bias blatantly. He claims to be about science but he utters lines like that or goes on his rant about architects which just shows he's biased against anything academic or professional. He says stuff like "my brother in science" and then goes off on a rant about how scientists are missing all these obvious clues that even he can see. Obviously he has zero respect for anyone related to academia. I saw another channel that reviewed his letter to the SAA where he complained about scientists being too mean to the alt history crowd and ruining the magic of history. No Dan, that's just science paying attention to what evidence shows.

The fact that no common language, no common unit of measurement, no common staple food specie, no common domesticated animal species, no common gods, no common weapons and even a basic spear are constructed in totally different ways between continents. It’s blatantly obvious that there was absolutely no one culture roaming about the world educating anyone. But the big kicker is Australia a continent unaffected by the younger dryas surrounded by ocean completely missed by this marvellous ocean roaming advanced human.

Yeah, they make the mistake of starting with a conclusion they like. The whole ‘what if’ school of thought. What if there was a lost ancient civilization, wow that is so cool, and I can even see it working, so I now believe that and will fit anything I find to that conclusion. But some of the best science is starting out with a well researched hypothesis, and then finding tons of contrary evidence. But that becomes impossible if you are emotionally invested in the conclusion.

I agree with that assessment - although I am one who believes that there were one or more state based societies (I don't subscribe to the term "advanced civilisation", it adds nothing to the debate) which existed when the ice caps retreated, situated along riverways along the now submerged continental shelves, in much the same way that such societies later re-emerged along the Euphrates, Nile, Indus rivers etc. But note my use of the term "belief". I acknowledge that no evidence currently exists that supports my belief, nor do I think there ever will be any hard evidence that can be found to support it, only the sorts of soft details (such as the presence of flood myths across the globe) that can equally be explained away as local responses to common events. I certainly don't hold Dan's (or Hancock's) view that any later markers of civilisation emerged (or were handed down) from those earlier societies. If these earlier societies existed at all, then they likely all perished when the world's oceans rose, sending humanity back to migratory bands eking out an existence in a rapidly climatic-changing world. In the end, belief is not provable pre-history. But flights of fantasy are things that people with a certain mindset get heavily invested in.

It is so weird how they divorce the ancient people from the process of learning. Egyptians were trying things, learning from past mistakes, and developing new and better ways of doing stuff throughout history. Stripping them of those accomplishments and assigning them to some even older civilization that obviously did not exist is just disrespectful. As for the measurement thing, if you got a room of engineers together and forced them to figure out a way to measure something without modern technology and still get a reasonably accurate result: they would probably be able to do it in a couple of days if not just a couple of hours. Depending on how much they remembered from doing proofs. But apparently ancient cultures could not do it even with hundreds or thousands of years of attempts. I think a lot of this is "I can't think of how to do this, and I am the smartest smarty pants ever, so there is no way those "savages" were able to do so if I can't. Therefore they did not."

42:10 Another very important point against the "scavenging" argument is that we actually DO find a lot of objects that were clearly high value to ancient peoples. They wore them on their bodies, buried them in their tombs, hid them away in safe places, and so on. So if these relatively high-tech objected were all "scavenged", we would have found a lot of them in association with sites belonging to the scavengers. It just moves the problem to a different place: instead of asking why the ancient civilizations didn't leave their objects behind, we're now asking why the scavengers didn't leave their objects behind.

The pattern on the top of stone structures that might have involved using metal to hold two pieces of stone together is used by woodworkers today. It is generally called a butterfly inlay. It is a simple way of ensuring that two pieces of wood will not split apart even if the glue that is used in the process fails. It is often used to stop a crack in a piece of wood from spreading. I have known woodworkers who claimed to have independently invented the process. I suspect it has been independently invented many times to solve similar problems. It is a fairly obvious way of reinforcing a joint or crack with a solid piece of material. It is all shaped in such a way that the reinforcing piece cannot slip out. The Romans used what were effectively large iron staples to reinforce joints on the Coliseum. The shape was a little different but it was a similar method used to address a similar problem. When the Roman Empire fell in the west, many of those iron staples were salvaged for their metal.

_"Necessity is the mother of all invention"_ The Old Kingdom of dynastic Egypt is believed to have collapsed owing to prolonged environmental distress - drought in this case. Even today Africa at times can incur prolonged droughts - some lasting literally 20 years or more. Thus given this reality the Egyptians in typical fashion responded via developing = hybrids which were more resistant to arid environments. Archeologists have identified that the Egyptians were cross-breeding cattle and grains to yield ones better suited to weather those drought conditions. Egyptian cattle were bred with Asian ones who are better suited to hot environments while various grains reflected ones cross-pollinated with those typically found in drier environments. Moral: as a result the Egyptians as an example during the New Kingdom period were able to better resist the prolonged drought which appears to have contributed to the eventual collapse of the Bronze Age. There is historical accounting of their traditional enemies the Hittites petitioning the Pharaoh for assistance as the Egyptians had grain when others did not. Archeologists further found evidence which seems to indicate that Egyptian cattle during this period were being kept longer than one normally saw if being raised for beef - indicating their relative value. You can eat a cow and survive for a time - OR - you can keep them and use their dairy products to sustain yourself for far longer.

I don't understand why some people want to turn cutting and moving stone into magic. If you have enough motivated people building a pyramid isn't that difficult. Also, if people who lived two to four thousand years ago were too dumb to create these things why would people who lived thousands of years earlier be smarter?

Well to answer your second question - quite simple really. Just look at the hunter/gatherer today. They don't build skyscrapers. Why can the same sort of thing of 'simple' and 'advanced' people inhabiting the same world not exist throughout history? But too your first point - do even engineer bro? Because i am one. Building a pyramid isn't that difficult?😂😂😂 What? Sure, by modern standards building a steal framed or clay brick pyramid structure isn't that difficult so long as you have workers with years of experience. But building the great pyramid... with stone hammers and copper chisels... isn't that difficult? You are absolutely delusional if that's what you think. There aren't words in the dictionary that can describe just how difficult that would've been to do.

@@NinjaMonkeyPrime Whoever's comment this belongs too. He/she/they stated building a pyramid isn't too difficult. Those are the words of someone who has never picked up a hammer. And the reason people think it's impossible is because it nigh on is. It boils my piss to hear archaeologists who don't have the foggiest idea about engineering play the building of that pyramid down so much. It's out of square by about 2 inches. That is an unbelievable feat to achieve. Especially 4000 years ago. I am an engineer and to this day there are still massive holes in what the archaeologists tell us about how it was built. Some of it is actually insulting. It's flies in the face of actual trained engineers like myself and many others.

I first ran into Dan when @potholer54 did his Hancock video. He was trolling Peter to go watch his review about Peter. I kept asking him to address the points made by Peter about Hancock. He claimed he didn't support Hancock, but refused to address those point. Eventually I figured out that he will deny he supports Hancock, but he makes his money on attacking the people who expose Hancock. So his entire market is the Hancock fan, who he insists he doesn't support. And then he accuses Dr Miano of being slimy. Oh the irony.

There are no such thing as _"alternative facts"_ obviously. What you typically see are alternative realities premised upon misinformation/disinformation and a subjective desire to assume oneself as supposedly correct - usually for ideological reasons. So people who claim to be pursuing "alternative" whatever are really saying that = what they opt to believe does not meet the threshold for validity - hence their subjective desire to believe themselves as supposedly correct when they are not. p.s. - how do things become "fact"?? Answer: upon presentation and analysis a claim and the evidence it is based upon is agreed to be plausible and hence factual per...... = *CONSENSUS* validation....... Moral: so-called "alternative facts" are therefore = facts rejected by consensus. As such being "alternative" anything is not really a place one wants to be as it is associated with = _"the fringe"_ of human society and subjective cognition. This is not to say we should pursue _"groupthink"_ as that infers people believing others for no other reason than a desire to believe. In science and scientifically derived subjects we follow = evidence + consensus per scientific method of analysis - and that is far as scientific "groupthink" goes.

If these advanced civilizations were teaching stone age people, why did they jump right to monument building? Why wouldn't they teach them about smelting iron or steel? You know tools that we would still find today. Or why not show them the wheel? Or advanced agricultural? Or a written language? Why would you teach stone aged people advanced mathematics and architecture but not how to better survive?

22:00 Dr Miano literally shows examples of amateurs making invalid measurements unrelated to the alignment of the pyramids. So what does Dan do? He equates what Dr Miano said to professionals who measured the pyramids. This is either sad that his brain is so fried he doesn't understand the visual evidence he's trying to debunk, or an obvious example that Dan is just blatantly dishonest. Since he repeats this in every argument, dishonesty wins.

Pyramids and the measurements made by professionals. Do you see the problem yet? Dan always does that. He ignores what a person says and translates it into something else. It is worse than a strawman, it's delusional. In this case he's even got a visual on the screen showing him exactly what Dr Miano is talking about. Dan is looking at the screen ignoring what is being shown while he's ignoring what Dr Miano says so he can start attacking something he's fabricated all by himself.

You are just taking things out of context as you always do. Just like Miano does and just like Richards does from time to time too. Now do you get it. Everybody does it to help support their opinion.
