At Cueva des Cubierta, central Spain, archaeologists uncovered 35 skulls, all of horned animals in one cave chamber. What were Neanderthals doing with all these skulls? Are they the subtle traces of a Neanderthal ritual site?

    In places as widespread as North America, Europe, Australia, East Asia and Indonesia, local mythology relating to the Pleiades describe them as seven siblings, frequently with one sibling having somehow gone missing. Notably, there are only six visible stars in the Pleiades - but, 100,000 years ago, there was a seventh visible star. A couple years ago, it was suggested that this might indicate that the idea of the Pleiades being seven siblings might date back that far, to around the time the first Homo sapiens started leaving Africa.

    i think there is an issue with saying that iron working is soo hard to invent because you need such specialised skills to get tool quality metal out. But to get something hard and shiny out all you need is to heat up iron ore to somewhere in the range of a pottery kiln. Humans love shiny things even if they are practically useless. As evidenced by those meteor iron beads from 3200bc. I see it perfectly possible that some potter made his kiln with iron baring rocks in the walls or floor or super iron rich clay or something and then one day found this cool shiny silvery stuff in there. Worked out it was coming out of these rocks or that specific type of clay, put some more of whatever it was in the there, got more cool shiny stuff. Ground the shiny lumps into beads that people liked. And just kept making things like that and the more they made the more they learned and eventually they got workable iron. Honestly, the process of making bronze is soo different from iron working that the only real similarity is heating rocks up real hot, which also applies to pottery making. It was obviously not an easy presses to complete, given how it didn't spontaneously spring up everywhere. But being unlikely without bronze working and being impossible without bronze working aren't the same

  • @keepinmahprivacy9754
    @keepinmahprivacy9754 Před 13 hodinami

    I'd be interested if they found any similar evidence for human occupation WAY further back, as the Azores have some interesting features that seem to mirror the mythical island of "Ogygia" from Homer's Odyssey, but if it was occupied when that was written, it must have been at least 1200-1500 years or so before any medieval Vikings could have landed there.

    the horse carts at 11:00 are not horse driven carts, but ox carts (or I believe: cow carts, this is not visible from the images): they are far more distributed in Africa then horses: so why should they have used horses at that time? That is a luxury item, like a Porsche today, though Porsche are more widely described as "great racing cars" than are Volkswagen or Kia. I think it was the same in Africa at that time, why bother about Oxs, when you could make your audiance dream about horses? Mentally the human stayed the same.

  • @kamelhaj6850
    @kamelhaj6850 Před 20 hodinami

    Looks like what I heard some 30 years ago is finally being discovered through recent research. It appears that several groups of people moved into the New World at different times. The oldest were the Australasians who arrived in South America, traveling down the Pacific coast by boat. A site was found in Northern Brazil with some artifacts and cave drawings (done in a style definitely not Native American). Next came an Ainu type people, traveling the same way, who settled along the Pacific coast of the US and Canada. Later, Sub Saharan Africans traveled across from present day Africa. Btw, all three of these first populations were quite small in number. The Natives entered several thousand years later at a similar time as small groups came in from present day Europe. Much later came Chinese, Polynesian, Egyptian, Viking, etc. So why did the Natives prevail? Most likely they had the most advanced weaponry and hunting styles so as to eliminate/assimilate these other populations. There is an oral tradition among some Natives of Brazil that the mixed descendants of the Australasians were eventually forced southward where they ended up in the southernmost part of South America..

    Its not for him to provide evidence, he's not an archeologist. He's pointing out things that should and deserve a deeper look, most of his ideas are taken way out of context. But my question to archeology is; In what time period prior to 12000 years ago was agriculture possible, due to the atmosphere, temps, and geology being where it needs to be for agriculture to take place? 11700 years ago cant be the only time in human hist that agriculture was possible. There must have been a time before the last glacial maximum where earth was calm and conditions sufficient for agriculture and human development.

    • @Tiktaalik59
      @Tiktaalik59 Před 2 hodinami

      There is a lot of information available about the development of agriculture. It happened over a fairly long period of time in multiple locations. Why did it happen when it did? The conditions must have been just right AND it was not just the attributes that you listed, but it must include the regular availability of fresh water, good soil, relative freedom from predators, a stable population with excess time to allot to planting, tending, and propagating crops. The most fundamental basic idea is that a portion of each crop, the largest seeds, have to be put away and saved for planting the following year. That means that society had to have excess crop in many successive years, a way to store the seed free from mice and rats, and a basic understanding of the changing of the seasons and counting years.
