- Old U.S. spy satellite images of the Middle East have unearthed a stunning discovery: the world’s first city, Tell Brak - 4,000 years older than the Great Pyramids.
From the Series: The Life of Earth: The Age of Humans bit.ly/32oNmi8 - Zábava
Not "first" city, *oldest* discovered city. It isn't scholarly to assume.
you gotta get clicks somehow
@@twaynewade2544
That is why *you* posted.
This cannot be either the first or the oldest city discovered by anyone under any circumstances when the mountain of evidence from Jericho has said otherwise for nearly 100 years. Am I missing something?
Well a man of reason ... I keep asking for a CZcams+ but who cares
We should know who runs this institution, deceivers of course. Children of the lie...
Tell Brak has been excavated since 1937. It was known as Nagar, and Nawar. It hasn't been a stunning new discovery since before satellites existed. Smithsonian really needs to up its game, since its videos are loaded with filler and light on substance.
So this is not quite BRAND NEW NEWS at all then 😆😆
Carlton B interesting. Thanks for the info.
definitely light on substance.. we documented 10,000 historical sites.. now we're going to show you... nothing more... "send em back to commercials John..."
They hire based on a person's SJW cred, not qualifications.
AD UNUM TRISTIS its not an agenda... its a Bible.
"World's first city" is hyperbole. "Most ancient city yet discovered" is less hyperbolic, but more accurate.
OK, Mr. Know-it-all, ever heard of Video Hooking, or in other words, Clickbait?
as a half american i can safely say that they love sensation
I love the use of click bait and hooking as a defense. Yes, we have heard of it. But deliberately misleading people isn’t okay, particularly for a museum.
Clickbait goes a long way
Not really.. civilization dawned in the fertile crescent. Now sure.. we might find older ones. Anything is possible.
But since we know civilization first began there.. its a pretty good bet that this was one of if not the first city
Wth. They didn’t even explain how they figured this is the oldest city. All they said is that it’s 4,000 years older than the pyramids. No facts, examples, evidence of this statement. But they were really good at explaining the simple and obvious, how our ancestors went from hunters to gatherers/ farmers. They left out the most important piece of info. 😂
Rios Salvajes 😂Why so serious?
Ann Lesley. You're gorgeous 👍
Exactly. Something tells me the people who built Gobekli Tepe 8 thousand years before this city was built... probably also built cities.
They're banking that viewers will be more amazed than actually educated.
Right on girl u called it lol weak info for Smithsonian...I was displeased.....you are a cutie pie tho 😘
Why do I love experiencing civilization development... It's very satisfying learning ancient cultures. It's like going back in time

There was no real substance to this
I don't believe humans "suddenly started agriculture". Humans were very capable before end of Ice age.
Agriculture is work. It's much easier to gather & hunt. It's mostly when the population density went up to the point that moving somewhere else when the food ran out became problematic that people began feeding themselves the hard way. As in why should I farm when there are so many mongogo nuts in the world? Of course, when you start to run out of mongogo nuts.... Remember that in the Old Testament, farming was a curse that you had to support yourself by the "sweat of your brow".
@@robinlillian9471 I did not read the Old Testament and have no memory of it. Hunting and gathering is not easier than growing your own.
@@chrissmith1521 it is when you simply hunt weak impotent sedentary cities and gather from their store houses of Grain and gold.
This is why nomadic horse tribes were so OP until the invention of heavy artillery.
This economic strategy is still practical today. Where one can harvest resources, through artful shoplifting, at a rate that far exceeds wage slavery.
@@chrissmith1521 from your modern perspective hunting and gathering is harder, but to ancient people that learned how yo hunt and gather from toddlerhood, it was a different story, and they had ancestors who passed down knowledge. Our average lifespan didnt improve with the rise of agriculture. It stated in the thirties and early forties until the industrial revolution.
Isidore Aerys
…just a caveat about your misconception on Nomadic tribes…
Most nomadic steppe tribes didn’t “hunt” other cities for gold or grain, they actually grew their own food. Most steppe tribes were pastoralists, raising large quantities of horse, goats and other animals to sell to other cities and agricultural centres whom didnt have the necessary land requirements to grow such large numbers of meat. In fact, the war like nature of some nomadic tribes are almost economically and resource driven. When certain pastoral grounds become dry or barren, the tribes that lived there would often roam outwards to take the land of another tribe so they can get ‘squatters rights’.
The problem with hunting cities or animals is that a hunter gatherer is only as good as the people/animals they are stalking. Its a very inefficient strategy for a civilisation to adopt because they’d never outgrow or outshine their quarry that way. That’s why the nomadic/germanic/Scandinavian tribes during the 1st century stopped being hunter-gatherers when their numbers grew large enough to match their rivals. Also noticeably, these tribes reached their peak when they began growing their own food instead of hunting for it.
Tl;DR:
Nomadic tribes actually grow their own food and don’t actually rely on stealing/hunting to make a living. They only do so occasionally when someone else takes their grazing rights or if the grass in their lands dont grow fast enough and they’re hungry. They’re pretty much the Asian equivalent of armed US/Mexican Ranchers.
Smithsonian used to be respected, then they became as informative and as scientifically accurate as The History Channel. They really shouldn't publish such rubbish.

I feel, Just simple Natural sellection I bet at first... easy things, lentils grow everywhere and crops that grow in tandem too.
So who was the first person to realize that grains themselves were a seed and once that seed was planted in enough quantity you could make bread? And you needed to remove their husks, grind them up, add water and heat it up in some way to make a crude edible bread? How long did that whole process take? Just asking for a friend.
Women discovered farming. They were in charge of collecting fruits and wild grains. They could've observed a plant growing in animal droppings and experimented by placing seeds in different mediums.
Humans during this time period had larger brains than any other humans of any era.
Wheat grains can be eaten whole without flour/breadmaking, we can assume this is how people first ate it

didn't know that
Much older (30,000-40,000 years old) human habitation sites have been found all over Europe, off the west coast of India, and of the coast of Japan. In southern Europe in particular, many cities are ‘layered’ over millennia and with many different civilizations impacting the overall ‘ruins’. We know for a fact that Sofia (current capital of Bulgaria) has been a continuous place of habitation for well over 30,000 years.
African had much older habitation but they're not cities

If it’s 4000 years older than the pyramids then it is most definitely not the worlds oldest city! Not even close!
Did they forget to mention the sea level rose 400 meters and submerged 90% of all human settlements?
The west coast off Cuba, e.g.
@David Jennings+ No, they did make a passing mention of it, but they just mentioned the Sea level rise, not anything about losing civilizations due to the rise in Sea Level. Good Catch, although I don't know where you come up with 90% of all human settlements from. What I wonder is why there are settlements today that are in the most inhospitable places one could live. i.e. High Altitude Settlements with very little land that is suitable for farming on a year round basis due to the quality of the soil or extreme weather and temps conditions.. :).
human settlement is only in the middle east at that time noah's flood accured first before the tower of babel have been created so in the time of noah humans havent scattered yet
so submerging the entire earth with flood is nonsense if the human populatiob havent scattered yet the entire earth the bible means is the place where humans has first set their settlement
magnetic poles moving, flipping. causing complete dif climates world wide, inc dramatic sea level changes.
I’m so sick of “world’s oldest”.
I highly doubt it's the 1st city on this planet, when coastlines change due to an ice age or a melt off , you need to look to places where the land met the ocean and our coast lines are currently 300 ft above where there were b4 the flood around 10500 bc ... thinking we are this planets 1st somewhat technologically advanced society is wrong .....
The people that made the megalithic sites in the highlands o
In Bolivia were advanced.....
@Rios Salvajes And that's just "fully anatomically modern" 'we.' A slightly different 'we' goes back millions of years, gradually less 'fully modern' the further back we go. Presumably gradually less intelligent, but it's still gradual, over millions of years.
Then, consider that modern challenges to traditional models of evolution hold that it can happen very rapidly, a la "punctuated equilibrium," depending on environmental changes. And suddenly you've got the possibility of highly intelligent pockets of hominids(we _know_ there were multiple co-existing hominid groups) who could have developed advanced civilizations in a world still mostly inhabited by stone-age hunter-gatherers.
Isn't that exactly what we are today? _We_ are in the information/technological age, but the tribes in the Amazon are still there, right now. So, too, the Andaman islanders, the African pigmy bushmen. All still living in the old way, still stone-age, some of them not even using stone yet; just sharpened sticks.
Bearing these concepts in mind, consider the legend of Atlantis, and other similar accounts of relatively advanced beings(gods and such) in contact with primitive man, as told from the perspectives of the primitives. (And, though the modern imagination can imagine all sorts of intelligent tentacled alien monsters or insect hive species, yet all the gods in all the old stories are anatomically human.)
Millions of years, civilizations _could_ have gone back. All metal rusts away in a few centuries; there would be not a trace. Of the substances we know about, only megalithic stones _could_ withstand that kind of time.
As as for what might have happened to them, that's easy: what might happen to us?
A similar revolution in thinking of geological change is happening within Geology, from a model of slow, gradual, steady change via erosion, to a model of punctuated rapid change, brought on by calamitous events. Climactic shifts, pole shifts, meteor impacts, floods, volcanic eruptions, etc.
But consider that all dating of megalithic stones is by sedimentary layers, based on an assumed gradual, steady change model. And there's not even a way to do it based on a geological "punctuated equilibrium" model, unless we were to know what all the events were and how much sediment each deposited in each location(it would vary by location, too.)
In other words, we have no way of knowing how old any of the stones are.
There are modern cities all over the world partially buried in layers of mud, sometimes meters deep, with nothing in the historical record about it. Buildings with the first story now underground, but with windows and doors and external ornamentation, just facing dirt, bricked up to keep the dirt from pouring in. (Search CZcams for the keyword "mudflood.") If nothing else, this demonstrates that we can't date structures by how deeply they are buried.
On the bottom of, what is now the North sea.. Dogaland.. Were we have found millions of mammoth tusks/bones.. Surely Manmade settlements will be there too!
In case anyone else is wondering exactly where Tell Brak is, it's in eastern Syria. It is about 8,500 yrs old. Damascus and Jericho are both 11,000 yrs old
Jericho seems to be comparatively older than Damascus, given the archaeological evidence!
Looking for places to bomb , the spy satellite analysts thought this was a terrorist hideout!! It turned out they had left a few 1000 years ago!

@@anandnalawade97 Excavations in 2014 led to the discovery of artefacts dating back to 800 BCE. Further excavations at Aktha and Ramnagar, two sites in the vicinity of the city, unearthed artefacts dating back to 1800 BCE, supporting the view that the area was inhabited by this time.

It’s probably reasonable to assume there is a city between 20,000 and 30,000 thousand years old that we haven’t discovered yet

@@johnmartinez4381 they keep dating back the birth of our species and when the first city came around. I actually agree with you.

Jericho is far far older than this settlement.
@@residentevil1878 google it
Isn't Damascus even older?
@@bio-plasmictoad5311 It says "continuously inhabited", which is pretty amazing by itself, but not exactly the oldest settlement ever.
Apparently, there's lots of argument on this topic, but more agree that Eridu is the oldest of them all.
Jericho is estimated to have been colonised originally around 11,000 BC, which makes it about 4,000-5,000 years older than this. Although it depends on your definition of a city, and of course none of this is actual fact. However, it seems likely that Jericho is the earliest recorded settlement or at least disproves this to be the earliest city.
@@residentevil1878 Archaeology. When I started earning advanced degrees in the Bible, there was a universal consensus that Jericho was about 7k years (BCE) old. 50 years later archaeologists have uncovered many, many deeper layers of consistent destruction and rebuild. The continuity of the culture throughout this time is stunning. 12k years (BCE) is now the preferred dating for Jericho. Nothing discovered so far comes close, to the best of my knowledge.
This vid only pointed me to dig for information elsewhere; not the 'first', merely the oldest recognized settlement

Man, y'all really blew it with this short. You had a real good start, showed real promise with thiis piece. But as usual it didn't take long before you jump into 'Assumption mode' and say that this site is from approx 10,000 BCE without showing how you came up with this date. Teased us with some topogriphal maps of the site, that had me hoping you'd actually show a cig in progress, a few artifacts uncovered and carbon dated, or maybe tease us with a bit of LIDAR scanning to verifly the findings, y'know.. NEW information that would actually get people to want to watch the entire show. . **sigh* y'all just had to drop the ball AGAIN... isn't 'getting more people to watch Smithsonian docs' the whole point? We don't want to listen to another boring lecture of the standardized version of how humans came together in settlements, something that I'm pretty sure every single person on this planet that got past grade school has heard before.
That'sit. I'm unsubscribing. Y'all have become like an old open sleeve of soda crackers stuck back in the cabinet: stale and bland.

how big is this finding, and, has it been explored?
visit göbeklitepe for seeing real materials instead of imagination..
7500 years older than pyramides...
3500 years older than tell brak
Yes! I first read of it in the book Sapiens. What an incredible site!
What did I just waste my time on?
Nevali Cori(9th-10th millennium BCE) is that old. A lot of research was done there, before the area was inundated for a dam. There was a central temple-like area, with T-shaped statues like those found at Gobekli Tepe, which the town is not far from and seems related to. It's speculated that, as people became more and more settled, the central pilgrimage site at Gobekli Tepe wasn't needed as much anymore, which led to it's being "retired" and buried.
Thanks for the vaguery
Cities grow on coastlines, so anything before the massive rise in sealevel at the end of the Younger Dryas will be deep underwater.
Conveniently forgets that Dwarka has been carbon dated to be 9500 years old... 2500 years older than Brak. And this isn't something new, it was discovered 20 years ago. Smithsonian, do some research before making such big claims.
Exactly , These U.S spy Sayellites only Search some MAYA, Middle East but Don't search for Dwarka
This is very misleading. They suggest that Tell Brak was discovered in satellite photographs, but the city was well known before then and was first excavated in 1937. Excavations show that is started around 6500 BCE but was only a small village for a long time. It was around 5000 BCE that it grew into a city covering 55 hectares. It is recorded around 2000 BCE as being named Nagar but it is unknown if this was its original name. It is certainly one of the oldest cities, but to suggest that it is definitely the oldest is somewhat presumptuous, but TV programs prefer clickbait to facts.
I wish they had given more information about this city !
How about Gobekli Tepe, are you seeing this Smithsonian? Or you just don't care?
göbekli tepe wasn't a settlement
A city off the west coast of India went under water 10,000 years ago. That makes it the oldest city discovered to date.
Tell Qaramel in Syria is 16-17000 years old
Jericho (11.5kya) is now a "proto-city", but 𒉣𒆠 is still 7,400 years old, and considered a "city". Tell Brak is stated to be 4,000 years older than the Great Pyramids, but that is still only 6,500 years old, almost 1,000 years younger.
That is amazing discovery thank you!

Disappointing clip for a Smithsonian. Tells nothing about where in the middle east Tell Brak is, and tells us nothing about Tell Brack itself. The images of a hand in _modern_ wheat is misleading.
I am glad they are discovering these settlements and such but the propaganda of their invented theories are just ridiculous
First cities are all under 2-3 hundred feet of water off the coast of Europe.
Also, childbirth played a roll in this too. Etc... Great new settlement find.

The first cities to exist were small citadels and not big settlements.
Those can be found in the High Lands of Angola in the ancient nation territory of the Angolars. The funny thing is that the citadels of the Angolars are still being used today by the Kossoma people; now called Bantus, that arrived in that region around 11K years ago. Even thought some of the mentioned here citadels, are probably around 70K years old.

Maputo in South Africa is 200,000 years old. Looking at the entire metropolis, it becomes obvious that this was a well planned community, developed by a highly evolved civilization. The number of ancient gold mines suggests the reason for the community being in this location. We find roads -- some extending a hundred miles -- that connected the community and terraced agriculture, closely resembling those found in the Inca settlements in Peru.
