Lost Knowledge: 5 Unexplained Ancient Instruction Manuals Left by our Ancestors

- In the history of medieval martial arts, few documents are as mysterious as Hans Talhoffer's fighting manual. A 15th-century fencing master, Talhoffer authored a series of combat manuscripts, the most enigmatic being his 1467 creation that intertwines martial skill with bewildering illustrations.
This manual, more than a mere instructional guide, is a riddle wrapped in the guise of a combat textbook, challenging modern historians and martial artists with a perplexing blend of fighting techniques and cryptic illustrations of unusual combat scenarios.
Born in the early 1400s, Hans Talhoffer remains a mysterious figure himself. Little is known of his life, but his manuscripts, particularly those from 1443 to 1467, are a trove of historical combat methods, capturing a world where martial skill was a key to survival and honor.
Some evidence points to him being a member of the Marxbrüder fencing guild. Recognized by Holy Roman Emperor Frederick III, this group could bestow the title "master of the long sword" to proficient members, which would then entitle them to twice the pay of an ordinary soldier.
Talhoffer's famed 1467 manual encompasses a wide range of fighting techniques, including unarmed combat, dagger fighting, longsword techniques, and even combat in armor. The illustrations are vivid but notably cryptic. Unlike modern manuals, Talhoffer's work lacks explanatory text, leaving the interpretation of sequences open-ended...
These types of videos are very interesting and enjoyable, i always look forward to you posting them, thanks D5 👍👍
maybe watch.. viper tv sumerian tablets.. then, you,ll realise, this channel is garbage..
Your videos are awesome man , keep up the good work!
Love the videos on this channel
Great video. Love your narration and voice.
Sounds like a serious Dan Cummins
Great as always dark 5! Happy Holidays!
Great topic and quality content. Keep up the good work mate. Thanks for sharing.
its a bs channel, with wrong info..
Great freaking content!
One of the best yet. Truly 100% amazing stuff.
I saw Irving Finkel on the thumbnail and thought this was going to be one of his wonderful vids about some new cool Sumerian things.
This, i guess, is an acceptable substitute :P
now this is an interesting video idea
I love this channel
its mainstream crap, missinformation,. viper tv sumerian tablets.. praveen mohan,, unchartedx,, the facts by how to hunt.. early vids of, everything inside me.. do some research.. not listen to crap..
One other Cuneiform tablet is the Ode to Ninkasi, or Hymn to Ninkasi, dating to around 1800bc. It is a poem or song in praise of Ninkasi, the Sumerian goddess of beer and fermentation, and also includes a description of the process of making Sumerian beer.
I wonder what the beer tastes like
@@user-io9ie5cs8j From what I have read, nothing like what we have today. Hops were not an ingredient, as they only really grow between latitudes of 35 and 55 degrees north, and hops are what gives beer most of its flavour.
the sumerians, us, humans, were taught everyrthing , by aliens,, our creators.. enki, was a genetisist.. he,,made man.. not god, not the bible , not noah.. all bs stories..
Thanks Dark, all the best and seasons greetings
Wow with the coracle from Mesopotamia, also used in Wales 🏴, something that I never knew ,
So I learnt something new today yay !!!
Great channel!
Stories of a great flood are actually spread across various cultures and are very ancient, very much predating abrahamic religions. If I remember correctly they're even present in indigenous cultures in the Americas, such as in Aztec religion.
I believe even Native Americans have some sort of story of it, as well. It's definitely way, way widespread. It's insane.
Ok. Name one story from Gaul, Albion, or the Danes that predates any Christian or Roman influence?
Me thinking the guy in the thumbnail was holding a fossilized Hot Pocket about to destroy my whole paradigm.
🤔
With ancient instructions on how to avoid burning the top of your mouth on the first bite, a knowledge long since lost.
Same
🎶 HOOOTTT POCKET🎵😂
Dude that guy has a name...Dr Irving L. Finkel ... The narrator even said his name.
Irving is the funniest prof I've ever met, he is a comedian at heart 🤣
"She turned me into a newt..."
"What??"
"I... I got better."
She’s a witch!
I wonder how much ancient technology was lost along the way!
hmm... Greek Fire, a *ton* of texts on automata (e.g. simple "robotics"), clock work, and civil engineering, early philosophies, medicines (nothing to the ability of today though), divination tablets and thier us, mythologies., civic / commerce texts, genealogies, pre-industrial manufacturing.
Basically, if Rome (both east and west) was a *lot* more politically and economically stable they would have been the first industrial superpower of the world. Only short of having an understanding of electricity and chemistry needed to kick off our now modern age of the late 18th century.
the Enki Tablet and it's cryptic instructions:
"...point the remote at the television while HOLDING the Menu button. When the light flashes three times hit ENTER to open the sub menu to SET the remote. If the light doesn't flash three times, press GUIDE, then ENTER, holding down the #6 on the number pad."
what did they MEAN? we will never know?
The funny thing about every witch hunt in history is that when profitablity wAs removed the hunts suddenly ended.
Always follow the money…the “witch” trials were poorly disguised theft of goods and/or land. Single women were ideal targets for the greed of the wealthy, with the added bonus of the “legal” murder of the victim, thereby preventing them from appealing the theft in the court system. 😡
Shout out to the finkel massive 🎉
Looks like we might need something like the Malleus Malifecarum these days...
❤ love and miss you!
Always wanted a copy of the Malleus Maleficarum.
4:47 imagine coming across a similar story that’s thousands of years older, then the story of Noah’s ark, yet they eerily similar….
That’s like me copying a story, turning it into a bestseller, Only for someone to uncover the source in which I copied it from that happens to be way older…..
But wait a minute you modern day Nostradamus you say …. how was it that you were able to come up with the same exact story…..
There, there young padwon, the answer you seek is within the questions answers for that answer seeking question!
The theory that coincidence points to synchronicity comes to mind
Flood myths span the globe and are found in dozens of cultures
@@maluorno maybe their not myths.
noah,s flood, was 13k ago.. the bible is a book of bs.. we were cloned, as workers,, adam & eve, man & woman, is when we were made,,, able to breed,, & not be cloned.. do some fkn research..
Interesting. The frontispiece of Talhoffer's folio has Templar symbols. The Shroud of Turin folded to show only the head,the Crusader cross and the ship's anchor are well known Templar symbols.
If magic worked, magic books would be priceless. Given the world as it is, no magic activity is evidenced successfully by anyone anywhere.
Fun to think about. Amusing to talk about. Fascinating to read about. Magic isn’t what it’s cracked up to be, just look around you.
Those who believe they can’t-won’t
@@markmcarthy596 Belief powers the 20% placebo effect that statistically occurs and is recorded by science.
If ceremonial ritual magick was successful in changing the world in accordance with will, then Aleister Crowley wouldn’t have died a penniless doddering junkie in an old folks home in a lonely Sussex boarding house. Crowley - “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law” - is widely regarded as a successful magician and an authority on global occult practices.
If Crowley couldn’t make money magically, or sustain health magically, or avoid scandal and notorious ruin magically: what the hell was Crowley changing in accord with his beloved willpower? There is no evidence. There are books and stories. That isn’t proof of anything but interest and gullibility. The Golden Dawn couldn’t conjure a fruit fly, much less activate and direct cosmic powers.
The Freemasons? Rosicrucians? Please. Thelema? Enoch? On and on. Fun to play dress up and gather together for ribald activities, practiced on the pretext of ritual magic(k). Yet where’s the beef? (As the old TV as asked).
If the “Ancients” knew so damn much, it appears to have done little to help them sustain, endure and prevail. People have whispered for thousands of years about changing the world with their wills… a whole lot more than ANYBODY actually successfully changes anything. With willpower, magic or anything else.
To think differently is the result of wanting to believe in “magic”, not because it works or anyone does it. Simple as that.
I have a book here about electrical engineering. Pure magic!
Explain the chosen ones that are able to bring forth a rabbit from a magic hat.
I always liked the idea that magic was a non renewable resource. It used to work but is all gone now. Like an autorepair manual a few hundred years after the gas is gone.
the man and woman depicted in the first book was a depiction of ancient romans getting a divorce, it was a fight to the death
I'm guessing the husband usually won.
@@joshmaxwell7968I’d expect so

Sexist comment
why is that?
@@joshmaxwell7968 that's why he was placed in the hole. The chances were more even then. The spouse could avoid blows, the man couldn't. Tallhofer 's manual is widely studied and practiced among Historical European Martial Arts circles nowadays. Not so mysterious after all.....
You should narrate ghost and the paranormal videos.
Brass is difficult to hold tolerances on because it's relatively soft. The Ancients had to have the ability to hold at least. 002 inch tolerance to manufacture the Anritithera device?
There is a guy on youtube who built his own version. He has tried as much as possible to duplicate the tools and techniques most likely used in the days of Ancient Greece. I think his name is Clickspring or something like that.
It was made of bronze which is harder than modern brass which has some lead in it to make it softer and easier to work.
I got a great one for you dark five mysteries ancient games played by ancient people the guy on the British museum show the game from Mesopotamia was pretty cool as well as chess
The flood is not a myth.
modern archaeology says it is

Can’t imagine treating a migraine with a clay croc tied to my head🥴
Probably better than big pharma !!!
Has anyone else noticed the videos have gotten unnecessarily longer because he had to "slow down his speaking" for the idiots that complained.
for those idiots english are not their first language... just curious, how many languages do you speak?
I listen at 1.25.
No, not really. I like the longer videos. They're very interesting.
I saw the vid where they tried to build the Sumerian ark, Irving Finkel was involved in it. Impossible to build to full size.
Looks like Finkel holding a Mesopotamian tablet

That Antikythera mechanism is a relic from Atlantis
Imagine the looks I got when discussing the Antikythera mechanism in 1979. I can prove it, but only in the analog world.
Noah's flood was just the aftermath of the poles flipping
Im deeply anxious about what information will be understood from the massive cliff paintings found deep in the Amazon that appears to catalog a period of time during or prior to the ice age
What are they called? I'd love to read about them. Pre ice age civilization is the most interesting subject I've ever stumbled upon.
Lol I was just kind of listening at first, not really watching. I looked up when you said "unusual combat scenarios" and yeah, yeah thats a good description of whatever the hell those two guys in the hole are doing!?
Also codpieces are frickin hilarious, I dont care if Im 30 that shit will always make me laugh.
I knew I wasn't the only one who thought that that manual looked kinky. I KNEW IT!

the Enki Tablet: it's like the Noah's Ark story, but with a twist: EVERYONE DIES
hey, SPOILERS, man!!!
The papyrus where A.I fails dead language.
whats the mystery of the enki tablets? its only a mystery if you think it didnt happen, then its a question of why would so many people lie just to destroy your precious world view 2000 years later? ("your" meaning the reader, not the video guy i like that guy)
The man in the thumbnail is holding the tablet up for the camera but you still feel the need to add a giant red arrow pointing at it.

Myths ? Who said the Enki tablets are myths .
They were history books .
I thaught James 1st and 6th wrote Malius Maneficarum?.
He had the bible rewritten to suit his society.
Eh Iraq and Israel aren't that far apart in distance.
This channel is my shit, never disappoint s🎉🎉🎉

Pan fried chimichanga?
Hank, does Peg know about this?
im not sure why you have such an issue linking the sumerian tale of the flood with the biblical tale of the flood because of its "geographical gap"
but i guess this happens when people arent taught the bible or have read it but Abraham ,also known as Abram when he lived in MESOPOTAMIA would have known all these stories , then God commanded him to leave Ur, to then travel to the land of Canaan where God promised Abram the land for his descendants and that he should change his name to Abraham.
Abraham would have told his sons and they wouldve told their sons ... and so on but he was originally from the area so its not that great of a stretch to believe he knew the stories
Hebrew flood myth was based on much earlier Sumerian literature. very annoying to Hebraics and other “bible believers”.
The biblical stuff the similarities with the flood and all that it ties in with other cultures because it really happened the ones chosen to live by God in Noah's ark they went out and lived throughout history longer than anybody else after them and taught and help build and another stuff stores were told. But after a thousand years or so stories can change slightly to persons to fit their narrative more. Just a theory that's what I think and believe.
The great flood.. the end of the Younger Dryas.
The bread pit ❤hu
Sorry folks, but the Christian Bible doesn't just say that Noah was to get 2 of each kind of animal. Genesis 7:2-3 - 2 Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.
..we're gonna need a bigger boat...🤔😄
Humans have a genetic instinct for fear of arachnids & serpents, it wouldn't surprise me that or ancestors being poor swimmers has some sort of instinctual aquaphobia.
Which lead's to a common Deucalion tales in many cultures.
Wondering if arid desert cultures also have such fantasy stories.
yet one must win a great race in a liquid flow of gravity, in order to get to the second stage of life.
could the hans talhoffer manuals include women in the depictions because he believed it doesn't matter your sex if you master the fighting arts? if you are fighting with weapons and get twatted by a lump of solid metal doesn't matter who's holding it your gonna go down, man woman or child that shit is still gonna drop you.
Bitumen… you completely mispronounced it. By/too/men? WTF?

Flood myth? Seriously.
5:52 ok, um... this "woodcarving" is an image from the Playstation video game, "The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope"... It's a scene from the game depicting a little girl pretending to be possessed by the devil to accuse the woman in front of the judge, of being a witch...
Do better image sourcing, Dark5.
"Keep it real, yo!"
uugghh.. christian bias showing in 5:10. Not *every* culture has a flood myth (can count at least twenty proto-indo-European/aka pagan ones). Do remember the Canaanites of Judea lived between Khem and Mesopotamia which later integrated/partially assimilated into the Akkadian empire of Sargon the Great and Naram-Sin of Akkad. Doing which time they picked up mythology from Ur just as much as later on David brought cultural practices from Khem. People and cultures do not live in glass bubbles, they are fluid, dynamic and share stories across trade routes as thier histories intertwine..
The reason that the flood myths are shared across cultures around the world, is that they all share the same "common source"... the archeologists and their school of thought as gatekeepers.
Their actual limited understanding of the ancient cultures they discover, as they are not interested in uncovering their secrets as much as they are interested in burying them, leads them to lending a variance of the story of the great deluge in the absence of having an imaginative mind.
The flood, besides it's literal meaning, represents fear. FEAR. That fear, is widely shared, used to control the masses.
It is easier to control people when they are "in fear".
That's why you see FEAR used so much... in the news, movies, music, everywhere you look, almost all that is man-made, there is fear behind it.

Epic of Gill is not positively a work of fiction. Assume if you want but ya don’t have to lie. Ya needle noodle.
So **MOST** of the victims of witch hunt were women, which means they definitely tortured and murdered a bunch of MEN as well as women for witchcraft, but you only mention misogyny with regards to the text, but fail to mention misandry. If victimizing women means misogyny, then victimizing men definitely deserves mentioning misandry. You failed to address that and chose to pretend the whole thing is motivated by hatred to women only. Why are you biased?
"Most" could mean 51% - BUT in this case it doesn't, more like 98% women, so I don't know why your panties are in such a bunch over this perceived bias against men that you claim ? Who the fk are you, king of the INCELS ? jeez.
Seriously?
