- Welcome to the next fascinating installment in the Ancient News Series! The intrepid James Fleischmann takes us to East Kalimantan on the island of Borneo where a 31,000 year old skeleton shows signs of an amputated leg! Then off to Limerick, Ireland where photographer Ken Williams has developed a new optical technique that reveals carvings and etchings on the Grange Stone Circle! In the northern Arabian desert, scholars have identified 350 ancient star-shaped kites, walled structures that force prey animals into traps and killing zones! And then to Turkey, where an ancient stone bathtub has been attributed as the birthplace of 12th century poet and scholar Kadı Burhaneddin, who was delivered by water birth in this tub! Then finally we look at a study on the hybridization of Neanderthal and Homo Sapiens... it turns out our connections may be even more complicated than we thought!

Thanks guys for keeping this channel alive along with Nick's memory. I'm really enjoying these episodes on archaeology news.
I look forward to each episode. You are doing a wonderful job!
Please keep these videos coming! I’m completely enthralled 😊
Absolutely loved it. Please do more of these.
This channel deserves way more views. Keep up the great videos.🙏🙏
I love this channel !
I always look forward to these
You guys rock as usual. So interesting.
Loved this video, #004? I'm going back to listen to the first 3 that I somehow missed! Great information, truly appreciate the time & effort you put in to educate me.
Be sure to stop by the comment section of #3 for a year's supply of salt!
Herd animals naturally group up and compress into corners. A star shape potentially has a practical advantage here for hunters or herdsman, as would any hunting trap/corral with corners. There are probably few or no round versions of these, would be my guess, as the trapped animals will continuously move around it and be in motion and even find the "exit" this way. Very cool discovery Imho.
Fascinating, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your efforts.
@ J. Fleischmann: I signed up for the newsletter, but I've just unsubbed from it. Basically it's just sales promo to hook people to buy the paid subscription, disappointing. Rather than bother to concoct a paragraph of waffle under each link and try to pass it off as a free newsletter, why not just provide five links to interesting content you've spotted on other sites?
This is beautiful! Been saying we have more in common than we don't.
Water birth- I can easily imagine that societies who revere water like the ancient Egyptians might consider it sacred, or at least very good to be born in their favorite body of water like the Nile or Ganges.
And as a female who enjoys swimming partly because of how relaxing it is to have everything floating stress free, I can easily imagine wanting to lay in some water from about the 8th month on, and I'm damned sure not going to get out once the contractions start! 🤷🏻
👍 Great video.
Great stuff.
Great channel! 4km with a clear line if sight would be a challenge but not be that exceptional feat. tree planters use at least 3 tall poles as markers so they plant in straight lines. They could simply look back and move untill all previous poles lined up when advancing and choosing the next spot.
Couldn’t the amputated foot have been something maybe lost in battle? So fascinating regardless
This news weekly video could have occasional funny-but-scientifically-accurate skits on the theme "biggots from everywhere being entirely demolished by actual History", or by natural sciences, as was the case here for this great anecdote about our/my Neanderthal genes. There could even be cases of such debunkings in the past that could be interesting.
In any case, I love what this new incarnation of the channel is producing. Cheers! ✌
Thanks for these updates! I have news, there’s a complex multi faceted style of art in lithic artifacts found in North America that has gone unnoticed until now.
That photo of the gammy leg made me think of that Cranberries song.
You had to let it linger.
Nice! Your videos should be seen by more watchers. May I repost your channel without changing anything on the clean platform named Ganjing World? Thank you!
The possibility of flint bone saws for surgery 30k years BP; more pre-agricultural megalithic structures discovered, and hot, inter-species hominid hook-up culture?
*Daddy likes!*
Great video! Very interesting. I’ve heard the argument that a healed broken leg is the first sign of human civilization. Thanks DDubbs
Bone Broad Casting(BBC) news channel was the channel they used
A 31,000 year old successful amputation Wow!! I wonder if they knew to cauterize the wound...?

I know the stories about Dutch prisoners in Japanese camps in WW2 in Indonesia working on a train track through the jungle of Sumatra that had infections Local prisoners put fly larvae on wounds because the larvae only eat the dead meat of the wound. I imagine that this could be an ancient remedy from maybe tens of thousands of years ago
Will there be a video about the origin of Azerbaijanis? Unfortunately, there is no neutral video about this topic.

About the amputated leg. I'm sure herbs had everything to do with its success. Pain control, infection control/antibiotics, and healing all well managed with jungle herbs. And caring for this person is not actually unusual for humans, we're not apes. As to the patient , he could have adapted to his' disability quite well. He might have had a prosthesis. I've seen people hope around with great agility on one legs. Again, we think the ancients were nothing more than animals. How absurd. Things have to be pretty bad not to have the spare food to feed one guy. You'd already have women and children to keep safe and fed. No stretch of the imagination. Also, there were cities found in hunter gatherer societies. The people did both.
This! In many ways, Neolithic humans were even more impressive than we are. They were every bit as intelligent, and harder physically than most Americans can really understand.
Not only did they grow up working hard, their immune systems grew up working hard. And only people with stonkin good immune systems grow up to reproduce without medical intervention.
And since they were actually intelligent and actually cared about their companions, they would have noticed and investigated various plants and techniques and been able to add 3+4 to get a decotion and a specific cleaning technique which will take the smelly red fever out of a wound. It's not that complicated, and you don't even need to know what a bacteria is.
A little piece of information gets added to through experience as it gets passed down the generations, and the next thing you know people are successfully trepaning head injuries 🤷🏻
And I'll never understand why people are surprised that a hunter gatherer society would be very familiar with anatomy. 🙄
Agreed! Great points :)
@@nobody8328 they were probably ALOT more familiar with anatomy and healing than we are today! And today we are just learning about the fantastic healing abilities of jungle plants. And in the jungle there are far more herbs available than in drier areas. I agree completely. Oh, and if it were south America in particular, obsidian would make a fabulous scalpel for surgery.
@@deborahdean8867 oh yes indeed! Many modern doctors prefer to use obsidian blades in surgery.
But then, many city people don't even know what poison ivy looks like, so I don't usually expect folks to grok how thorough our ancestors' knowledge would have been 🤷🏻
Edit- for some reason it still surprises me that academics miss things like that
"Pre-history". I mean i get it, but they need to change that wording.

interesting, but Fleishmann says "um" twenty times per minute (yes, I counted), which makes it hard to listen to.
Hah, yeah I'm new to being on video - need some practice! 😅
@@jamesfleischmann934 it does help to see yourself a few times to correct things. Great info tho!

I dont know off any modern human ever being found in Africa,, do you?
Poetically - and not scientifically - speaking, maybe Homo Sapiens learned to love and broke the barrier which separated them from the terrific "Other"? Just thinking... :)))
@Brandon Letzco that´s the pragmatic way to see it - I just wanted to be poetic ;)) Btw, good point!
@Brandon Letzco regrettably :D
🤣
The old guy is political like a bureaucrat
"Shut the hell up".? charming..do they they make you want to join them?
Yep, I do stand with people who don’t pander to White Supremists and ‘shut the hell up’ is kind for that level of human. Have to wonder about you if that is all you got out of this news episode.
@@sarahrosen4985 lol… I don’t think you really have to wonder about me. But, I get that my comment was overly personal and snotty. Sorry
FWIW, he was saying that they *did* shut the hell up, not that they *should* shut the hell up. "Shut" being the past tense of "shut" is the culprit here :)
The great pyramid is still a complete mystery! We know NOTHING about our past
