I’m most intrigued by the cave in Spain. There was use over a huge range of time and yet only 12 individuals. Why did they keep coming back? Thanks Laura!
Exactly! Thanks for watching Barry!
and why so few over such a long period? as Laura said, perhaps just certain folk were interred there....like chief/ chieftess or priest/priestess or, maybe, vampires or zombies or trolls or........BOO!😅 or, perhaps, it was an area in which cannibalistic rituals were performed? a ritual only performed in very dire times? giving the few instances over the millenia? i dunno, just sayin'
@@floydriebe4755 Hey Floyd! That was my question. It’s such a huge time span. I like your- only in dire circumstances theory.
@@barrywalser2384 hey, Barry! thanks! so much to think about, those peeps could be our ancestors...kinda scary😱
@@floydriebe4755 Haha! I will be pondering that all evening.
Thanks Laura. Always a pleasure hearing your take on current news.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching! 😃
Hi Laura, thanks a lot for all your efforts. This was an amazing video enlightening 12k years old sculptures.
In turkic tengrist tradition, it was believed that died people will continue to living in afterlife, so they were constructing kourgans to live inside in afterlife. Also, sumerians were first believers of afterlife in mesopotamia and they ĥave constructed ziggurats.
I think all these beliefs come from east euroasian, siberian people who have mostly lived as nomadic and reached to anatolia as sumerians. I think they were sumerians who have altaic siberian genetic roots and have spread agglutinative languages (like tyrrhenian, vasconic) to europe tousands of years before.
Really enjoying your videos since I found your channel a few days ago! Thank you
Awesome, thank you!
I think the new statue found at Karahan Tepe is an early form of Hercules.
Ankle bones, um, I think gambling, gaming pieces, markers. Any parallels out there?
That’s an interesting one! Wouldn’t have thought of that. I will see if there are any other examples.
Regarding the ankle bones, I thought of building blocks as the form a kind of ancient Lego.
Lol
What could those ankle bones mean to them? What would they mean to us, then?
What would it cost them? In material, in effort, in organization, in opportunity cost?
What story would you be telling? What story would you want told afterward?
Tin wou,d have been used to Aloy the Copper ore. This is how you arrive aty Bronze. This makes sense. But I cannot be sure if the Forgs were'nt a delicasy.
those ankle bones may have been the stuffing of a pillow whose textile outer layer has long biodegraded, or parts of some garment
Thanks
Welcome!
Many ancient caldrons physically and in representation have beaded rims. I have come to the conclusion that these beads represent human teeth from an era when human skull cups were in use. Celts, in particular, collected the heads of their enemies (as a more recent example of skull oriented, possibly magical, interest) which would accord with the magical connotations of cauldrons.
That’s an interesting idea! I wonder.
@MegalithHunter People of the modern era have little inkling of the extent to which the spiritual / magical filled the everyday lives of humans in prehistory and even today, "touch wood". It was more than mere superstition and more integrated than organised religion.
Our cup runnith over! 💀 OMG! Don’t spill uncle Bob!😵💫
Tepe’. Good luck with that one!
Children are called “ankle biters”. Clearly that young lady liked her lamb hocks. So. A large order…..to go.
I may have to go read that tin ingot paper……..
Fox out
Los astrágalos (tabas) se han usado desde el tiempo de los romanos para juegos de azar entre lo niños de hecho mis padres los pintaban de colores :cada lado de un color diferente y se tiraban al aire como los dados.
Tal vez también tengan algo que ver con la adivinación: en la Antigüedad huesos y conchas se usaban para esos fines
Very interesting!
Ah, the days when one could drink libations from the skulls of one's enemies.
Forgive me please. The shirt your wearing doesn't work with the camera image and will trigger my epilepsy if i watch 😂.
Great channel, thank you very honest and factual. Have you ever come across a Robert Sepher YT channel?
Thank you!
Skoll😂
hulloo, Laura! hhmm, which was best.....don't know, all are quite interesting. 🎶the Caves in Spain, are rarely in, the Plains🎶😂 seriously, tho......were those cut marks ritualistic or cannibalistic? they have found Neanderthal bones that were cannibalized, or so they think....but, the Tas Tepler (sp) area is still coming up with some cool stuff....it seems the phallus was really important😉 back then.....fertility symbol or ? seems to be a lot of that, thru the ages😮 and those skull cups? how late October is that? cool......now i gotta have one of those, to drink my All Hallows E'en libation in. me? superstitious? naaah, just.....any excuse to party🍻🍾🥂
hoookaaay, i be done....thanks and sleep well! aurevoir😎
