17:04 "The *demand* for these types of objects inspires and motivates the scale of craft productions". Here's an example of a universal economic law that you say does not exist.
36:20 Three adults, three adolescents and three children in a pit full of animal bowls. That says "human sacrifice" to me.
I just felt the need to point out: the best way to work a stone, is not copper, but another stone.
@@muleran6790 Definitively. Quartz rules.
The British say that when the religious artifacts were no longer used or become obsolete by new beliefs, they might ritually bury the objects.
Sort of interesting, but it seems that whatever the title of a lecture from the Oriental Institute, all they are really going to talk about is their latest dig :-)
I always wondered how the Egyptologists could handwave the crazy carved diorite things they find buried about..but this! Fenestrated lamp stands. Knee high. Of basalt. Good LORD.

14:02 I volunteer! Give me some basic training and I'll do it!
I would think it would take longer than a couple of weeks to make that standed bowl, unless they used some simple machinery for cutting, such as leather straps on a wheel with a cutting substance, or a grinding wheel. I guess the danger of "reproducing" such an artifact is that while we could certainly make one with chalcolithic-age tools, the chances of hitting on just the method they used back then would seem to be slim. However, I do find it intriguing and even necessary to attempt it!

Have they tested the copper to see if it could be from Michigan?
The copper came from Alashiya, known to the Greeks as Kipros, to the Hebrews as Chittim and to modern people as Cyprus, the mines of copper operating throughout the Chalcolithic and Bronze age before the collapse in 1177 BCE and was the main distributor and source of copper trade to the region as outlined in the Armana letter of the Paro's of Mitsrayim/Egypt.
I feel like there's a joke here that I'm missing.
how much funnier than “did they test the copper to see if it was from michigan” can you get...?
@Georgi Georgiev 😂😂😂
Way to drive the point home!
@@lisabernier2161 Much more likely it came from Canaan itself, perhaps the ancient mine at Timna where copper has been mined since at least the 6th millennium BC, or the Wadi Feynan.

Toying with an idea...
I have an idea, why don't you build a time machine and go back into era of Plato? Then you can toying each other in a cave of ideas untill the Savior arrives
