    Watch my latest history documentary here:-
    th-cam.com/video/c3Hq6UaFQqk/w-d-xo.html
    Thus concludes the first batch of videos from my recent travels to the Middle East. This one took a ridiculous amount of time and effort to make so please hit that like button if you enjoyed it and let me know in the comments where you’d like to see me film next. If you’re new here don’t forget to subscribe for at least two new documentaries every month and I’ll see you on the next one.

      I love your channel so much. But can you please stick to actual recorded history?
      There is no evidence that the Earth is older than about 6,000 years old.
      And recorded history only goes back to about 4,000 years ago, so any "history" before that is pure conjecture.

      just learn how to lucid dream, educate your self and practice. the at night you can travel where ever you want. have fun! i usually go to other planets. i like Pluto. in my dreams its a tiny planet full of grass and smells of perfumes i cant explain.

      @Raha Aja but you never will? all youl know is what books and youtube can show you based on interpretation. its all subjective ultimately whether you read about history in a book, or go there in your dreams. forgive me for not being as poetic and descriptive in my recommendation to spawn motivation to start your quest. but come on man, the infinite is literally in your head at night. or you can be lazy and wait for VR. which will be sensationally the same as lucid dreaming , but prb with a costly monthly subscription.

    It's so refreshing to watch videos like this in that it describes what evidence has been found. Though there are many gaps in the historical record, one thing is clear....people have been here for a very, very long time.
    I also appreciate the fact that the producers of this video chose not to suggest that "ancient aliens" were partly responsible for man's development and knowledge. I'm so sick of hearing how aliens came here and began all this, then left.

      Keep in mind that the aliens would have been coming here for millions of years, not just thousands. Or never if thats your belief. My thing is that what were humans doing for the last 200,00 or 500,000 years? Why would they have not been building many at least rudimentary structures with stones by 50,000 years ago. Just found out they were building with wood 500,000 years ago. They would have noticed apes communicating and tried to figure out how to talk with sign language at least.

      @@benzandmoney420 Really? I've never understood that if you believe the 6000 years Bible story what the motivation of trying to make conflicting stories full of consistent evidence would be. Why would anyone do that? Besides that I see no contradiction in believing in the Bible and still believing that the earth is older than a few thousand years. In fact I see no reason to believe there aren't gaps in the Bible story, just as it doesn't contain any events of most of the last 2000 years

I would think contemporaneously written history would be more likely to be "accurate", but context/bias still matters. The bible on the other hand is more a message or a guide to a way of living than a "history".

    Jericho - The oldest "known" city on the planet.
    I'm not a ancient astronaut or pre-flood civilization theorist. But I would be surprised if there were not an earlier example of a "large village" before 10000 BC, seeing as we have "Gobekli Tepe" at between 12 and 13 thousand years ago. What fascinated me about the temple is that the stones and the carving, show a level of skill and organization to come together to create not one, but multiple temple complexes over time. This by hunter gatherers, just coming out of an Ice Age. Which by the way, we are still technically in.
    When I was a teen, it was said that humans hadn't crossed into Americas before 10,000 years ago, and anyone who did claim it, was considered on the same level as a conspiracy theorist. Also that humans didn't evolve in Africa, but Asia. Lots of "sacred cows" have been slaughtered in my 72 years, and I am not one to be surprised at anything anymore. Just a thought, from an old man. Keep Calm and Carry On Up The Khyber LOL.

      Bump. I'm no conspiracy theorist, but too many people just go by the books and never ask questions. They don't want to challenge what we've written down as _"fact"_ even though they're just the most plausible theories we've come to accept as the likely truth. Plus, you have to understand that archeology can get lucrative if you're getting funding for something you will literally never understand. In the monetary sense, you DON'T want to solve the mystery. Solve the mystery and you'll have to find a new "Life's Work."

      I'm sure there are settlements as old as Jericho but they have not been found yet. or because of their environment it's not likely any artifacts will be found. And maybe the sites have always been villages. I have no background in archaeology so I am only guessing.

    Why is Goblekli Tepe always assumed to be a temple. As far as I know they haven't found any alters there, only reliefs of animals and anthropological walls. It was certainly a cultural center, but other assumptions of its purpose are still premature.

    • @ihl0700677525
      @ihl0700677525 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I think a lot of similar structures were built throughout history, and we know they were utilized for religious purpose since these structures built by younger civilizations usually left behind ample writings about their belief system and their religious practice and buildings.
      IMO Gobekli Tepe is unlikely to be palace or fortress because it was designed as a place of gathering and not for housing a large number of people. I think it's fair to assume it was religious structure.

      @stevelenores5637 5 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      ​@@ihl0700677525 I think you are running into the logical error of either/or (related to straw man error). "Not palace/fortress so must be a temple." Personally I think it was a learning and cultural center, in other words an agricultural/husbandry training ground for 'agricultural revolution' that was started about this period of time. Religion may have played a roll but it was probably a secondary role, not primary one. The fact that the reliefs were built in pits could indicate multilevel structures when they were in use (speculation). The most important question to me is "Why were they intentionally buried and not destroyed?"

So a person teaching how to play a guitar would put a guitar on his or her sign? (assume you say of course, it's obvious.) Wouldn't be as obvious for teacher in raising pigs put a pig on a sign, or a person teaching how to sheep put a sheep on a sign? Of course he might just be a butcher of pictured animal as well.

    The Mitanni had Hindic mercenaries who later took over judging by royal names. These were the introducers of chariots to the region.

Oxen and donkeys were domesticated in the fertile crescent long before horses, and wagons/carts spread from there to Anatolia and the steppes seperately.
