- Humanity has been around for a very long time and it seems like we've discovered just about everything in the world today. But that didn't always used to be the case, the world used to be a huge place waiting to be explored. The question I try to answer in this video is where were the last places, as well as the first places that the human species actually discovered on our world? Spanning hundreds of thousands of years in under 9 minutes, we attempt to give our greatest and quickest answer to that question.

One minute silence for all those in human history who got on a boat in hope of finding new land but never found one ...
I was going to ask when people first discovered the bottom of the ocean
It's funny, I was thinking about that while watching him list the islands that the Polynesians discovered... how many people sailed away and missed their target, or were looking to discover something new, and just never found land? Probably a lot.
@@ryanpenrod1859 The polynesians were very good at navigation. They explored by sailing into the wind, so they could get back home in a hurry. Their understanding of the sea, clouds, sea birds, and all other natural causes allowed them to sail between islands accurately while european sailors were just starting to venture out of the sight of land.
F
just dunno Because they were sold to “the devil” by people who looked like them.
"somehow skipped France".
The Brit hatred of the French is older than France itself.
So true
That was funny to discover tbh x)
It’s more of this is a load of cap and not actually fact or true. They took a ton of writers liberty with it about the first 200k+ years actually lol 😂
Why would you say that I don’t think we hate french people
@@lswave6704 in history they both did ,XD
In Māori folklore, there exists stories of a large continent to the south. This largely was disregarded by Western anthropologists for a long time, but recently has been reconsidered as possible referring to Antarctica. So, it's possible that the Māori discovered Antarctica long before Europeans had
no it was disregarded because it was just a story. they had a similar story in europe too, about a large continent to the south, and they called it "terra australis", its what the name australia was based off. folklore isnt real
In a sense Terra Australis was real, it just wasn't what Europeans thought it would be. There were 2 continents in the southern hemisphere, Australia, and Antarctica. Folklore in most cases is based off of the truth at the time, thousands of years from now stories we tell today will be considered folklore. So, to claim "folklore isn't real" is to completely disregard alot of discoveries made over the last couple hundred centuries. @@user-js1mf7gg8t
@@user-js1mf7gg8t That however wasn't folklore. That was a scientific theory. They thought that the southern hemisphere needed as much land as the northern one for stability or whatever and most land known at the time was on the northern hemisphere. So someone just had to find this land. The theory turned out to be kinda wrong: They found land, but it wasn't as big as they expected it to be.
The Maori thing mentioned above sounds very different.
Possible but Highly dubious unless those peoples had a way of knowing there was a land mass there without actually travelling to it, or if they had access to some sort of technology we no longer no about that made it more possible. Antartica is way too far away from other landmasses and way too cold for preindustrial peoples in their sailboats to discover. Even if we assume they could have somehow survived the conditions long enough to make it there, it's almost inconceivable that they would survive them for long enough to make it back to tell the tale.
@@user-js1mf7gg8t stupid baby. little baby
The thing is, the landscape itself has changed drastically over the years. I find it quite possible that Antarctica's current state could be the result of the ice age and there is no way of knowing what the land was like before that or who lived there unless you remove all the ice and access what's beneath it.
It actually is true. Antarctica hasn't been covered in ice a big part of its existance. About 34 million years ago the ice started forming at the poles.
And if you remove the ice, then earth won't be happy

06:09 -- when you mentioned Svalbard getting discovered in 1604, here's something really interesting:
That long island to the east of it, already painted pink, north of the Russian mainland is called Novaya Zemlya.
It was discovered in... The *11th* century !! WOW ! :O
Unbelievable, considering how much more unreachable and remote it looks... ! :O
It’s not very surprising. You can see a tiny peninsula stretching out very close to the island. During the winter, the area gets frozen over. So it’s quite easy to get there. The only reason people haven’t done it thousands of years sooner is because very few people lived in that area very close to the island. Let alone people with a desire to navigate through the super cold conditions of northern Siberia. Meanwhile, Svalbard is very far from even the northernmost parts of Scandinavia. And the only thing people could see for many hundreds of miles was more ocean (frozen for much of the year)
@@thebakersbaker4724 that all sounds very logical indeed ! Solid reasoning!
*BUT* ... I'm still not *100%* convinced... Norsemen were traditional seafarerrs and explorers, it was almost in their genes, they were so good at it !
Whereas Russians.. *WEREN'T !!* ... at least not in the *11th century* ....
idk it's still weird to me...
@@kurzackd I guess I could take that into account. The only thing you got wrong there is that the few people who lived there weren’t Russians. They were Nenets, an ethnic minority in that region.
@@thebakersbaker4724 yes, the people who *LIVED* there were NOT Russians.
But when this video discusses "discoveries", it implies travel, exploration and cartography.
According to Wikipedia, Novaya Zemlya was first *described* by Rus from Novgorod.
@@kurzackd so the people who ventured to places in the video thousands of years before writing and cartography were invented DIDN’T discover it? Also, it’s likely that the Nenets discovered the region long before the Rus venturers did

Now in 2023, the last discovered place on Earth is an island called Qeqertaq Avannarleq in the Arctic Sea discovered in August 2021.
I recall hearing about a small pleasure craft sailing out of Hawaii that got lost in a storm in 1963, stranding its two man crew and five passengers on a hithero unknown island in the South Pacific for fifteen years. I can’t recall the name, but I believe it was named after the first mate.

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing this!
In regards to Antarctica, James Cook sailed south of the Antarctic Circle in January 1774 until he encountered pack ice that extended 120km from the coast of Antarctica. Technically not the land portion, but Cook reached the edge of Antarctica by sea.
Gabriel de Castilla reached that latitude 170 years before Cook
Random fact relating to this video:
The last piece of land was found in 1953 called “Berkner Island”
Yes, Elizabeth became queen before the map was complete.
Cool
Basically a frozen island that resurfaced from under the Antartic Ice shelves in the late 1950s.
This excludes newly formed islands like Surtsey I assume
*1957
And Landsat Island was discovered in 1976. (Named after the discoverer.) Oh, and Zalzala Koh in 2013, but it's also undiscovery by 2016. Also, Home Reef in Tonga with its discovery in "1852, 1857, 1984, and 2006."

It was very interesting thank you for making this video🤔❤❤
Bermuda was discovered by people who SHIPWRECKED?!
*Coincidence, I think not!*
Lol same here
when i heard that i was like
ok i need to go through the comments, there's no way no one pointed that out
Actually, it was settled by shipwrecked people headed for Virginia in 1608 or 1609. Bermuda itself had been known about for a much longer time, since at least the 1530's. Interestingly enough, at one time Bermuda was part of Virginia.

This video was made in Oct 2016
You can say that James Cook discovered Antartica even he did not sight it (turned around just about 100 miles from the continent). When he observed a very large number of huge icebergs everywhere around the Antarctic Circle, he made the correct conclusion that all these icebergs can be produced only on a very big landmass around the South pole.
Gabriel de Castilla es el verdadero descubridor de la Antártida, en 1603.
I was waiting to see when the micronesian and mariana islands were discovered. Cool video.
As someone who actually studies anthropology in college, I can’t believe how accurate this is.
And yet, this is only estimated by some fossils. It remains an educated guess. Maybe humans discover something in the future that changes the perspective of their early days completely.
The content is awesome indeed! However, it's unsurprising they haven't mentioned the cave paintings found in Brazil dated between 10.000 to 50.000 years old (considering artifacts found in the area). This gave rise to hypothesis that humans reached the southern part of the continent before the northern land bridge. Unfortunately, lack of funding and disregard for science in South America and, most specially Brazil, make these sources hard to reach and further research almost impossible to develop. It's natural that the better research founding of USA favours the narrative and publicization of the northern land bridge hypothesis. If you are interested, the paintings are located in "Serra da Capivara", in "Caverns da pedra pintada" (cave of painted rocks). It's a remote area in Brazil and the few researchers maintaining the area have been suffering a lot from lack of funding. I had the opportunity to be advised by a professor closely related to the researchers of Serra da Capivara.
I feel sorry that you actually study that in college, you wasting your money smh 🤦🏽
@@rolandomayorga5280 This kind of shortsightedness is what screws up with science funding. Anthropology was originally created to better manage and bring native populations into submission of expansionist interests. It was, and perhaps still is in some contexts, highly strategic and applicable. Anthropology and sociology has been helping health officials to manage ebola of outbreaks in some areas, because they understand the social rituals that helped to spread the disease. There is no "waste of money" in any subject. It's and investment. Developments in arts were and still are responsible for many breakthroughs in technology, administration and beyond. Technology, engineering and STEM "hard sciences" in general are complemented and often led by social sciences and arts. Some destructive interests are always advocating for "funding useful education only". This kind of discourse led to some major cuts in science funding for social and arts subjects in my country, but they also cut medical sciences and all others in the package too. It seems it's easier to blame "waste" on arts and social sciences to cut everything else in the package.
Let’s not forget that Canada/Northern US was discovered by Leif Erikson, Son of Erik the red, a Viking from Norway/Iceland.......first Europeans there

I'd love to see the sources that peg the southeastern Baltic states to be the last area ever settled in mainland Europe. That seems fascinating and quite improbable unless all of Scandinavia is (quite unjustly) treated as one unit from Rødbyhavn to Nordkap. Settling all of it would include both some slight sea travel to go from present day Denmark to Sweden (not to mention getting around between Denmark's islands) and a massive trek to settle northern Norway. Alternatively it would require going all the way around across the Karelia, which would quite likely take you through the southeastern Baltic states anyway.

Kind of a copout here, but in Iceland, there's an island called Surtsey that only first formed in 1963, and was an active volcano until 1967. It's not allowed to go there, as it's being used as an experiment for how life naturally migrates to new lands, but it has been visited by scientists (with strict sterilization procedures).

Back in high school we were told that Franz Josef Land was the last discovered landmass on Earth (first sighted in 1873).

Would be cool to have a video on this, as well :)

My dad (RIP) used to tell a story that in 1964 the merchant ship he was on “discovered an island”. According to him, it was just a tiny but newly formed volcanic rock jutting a couple feet out of the water in the South Pacific. He was a navigator, and it fell to him to take multiple celestial readings to try and get an accurate location, which the captain than radioed to others in the area (and presumably some other authorities) so maps could be updated to show the hazard. As I recall the captain got to name the island but I don’t know anything more than that. It’s quite possible the island was later washed away and isn’t even an island anymore.
Apparently this is a pretty regular thing in geologically active areas.

However, he definitely was disappointed to have never found the fabled, “Terra Australis Incognita” (The Great South Land, which was different from Australia) being that his first two voyages were focused on finding that very continent (well, on his first one, after observing the transit of Venus in Tahiti and mapping the entirety of New Zealand after confirming it’s existence after another captain thought to have seen it while sailing). It turns out their theories were correct about its existence, just not it’s potential locations it could be because the place they were looking for was in fact Antarctica. But otherwise, he knew that he would be finding islands along the way because of his immense knowledge of weather and the depth and movement of the ocean would tell him that there was no major landmass nearby. Also, New Holland (Australia) was known about beforehand, however he was the first to intricately explore the east coast of the continent and claimed New South Wales in the name of Britain. He also managed to be the first to interact with the natives of Australia, eventually making them upset by “stealing”(eating) sea turtles. Sorry for the random history lesson, but Cook is one of my favorite historical figures and I read about him whenever possible! 😅
Overcharge It’s a bummer how he went out, especially because he was one of the few explorers of history who had the morality to do his best to not negatively impact any native peoples. He hated if he ever had to kill any natives, and always tried to fire at least 5 warning shots if possible before fighting. In the end though, his death wasn’t even his fault. Some of his crew members got greedy and stole from the king of Hawaii (according to a Hawaiian friend of mine), which then resulted in the Hawaiian peoples attacking Cook and his crew before they left the island, which resulted in Cook dying in the fray. Fun Fact - they say his chronometer, which was the second pocket held one built by John Harrison, stopped ticking the instant that he died. Truly a poetic ending for the Captain and the first chronometer to be used in active service.

"usually when humans arrive somewhere for the first time things die "

As a New Zealander, "... significantly large inhabitable place..." is probs the most neutral but at the same time flattering description of NZ I have ever heard.
And habitable*
As a fellow Kiwi I have to agree.
@@DylanWarcraft That is an inflammable comment.
@@flamencoprof Sorry what? I'm just saying he said 'and habitable' in the video and not 'inhabitable'
@@DylanWarcraft Sorry, it was just n attempt at a joke about how habitable/inhabitable and also flammable/inflammable mean the same things. Too much wine, not enough thought on my part.
I have a suggestion of music to listening after this video, try Explorers, by Muse.
Madagascar is like that place that is right next to your hometown, but you can't get to it until later in the game when you get HMs Surf, Waterfall and Rock Climb.

Was the world map always that way because I feel like stuff has to have moved at least a bit during that huge time lapse, would’ve made some travels easier most likely
