Man, while editing this video, I realized there were a lot of words I said incorrectly. Even more than I usually do XD. Anyways, hope you enjoyed my attempts at speaking. Thank you all for watching and getting me to 52k subs, have a nice day!
I never really liked it when someone says a word or name and than follows up with "I have no idea if I said that correctly" or something along those lines. It kinda feels like wasted time. Either learn how to say the word correctly before recording or just say it the way you think it should be pronounced and move on.
@@juandacharroninja that wasn't a fever dream then. I swore I read weird Tarzan stories in my parents Readers Digest book collection but I could never find them and flying stegos almost drove me mad 😂
About the breeding stones: The idea of those farmers in England that removing stones from their field is pointless because they regrow might not be so outlandish: I worked on a farm here in Germany and we had a field that grew stones a well. Turns out it was likely material deposited by the ice shield during the last iceage, covered with a thin silt layer. In cold winters the water in the soil froze and lifted the bigger stones through the silt much like when you shake a bag of different kinds of nuts. The result were regrow stones to pic yup every summer.
there really is something to the idea that stones propagate in fields. I've helped my friend clear his land for planting before and he told me about how many huge rocks he had oulled out the previous year but when we went to clear it, there were more there than he said he removed.
I have often heard, and since I've gardened, myself, have said as well, that Missouri, USA grows fine rocks. 😄 I remove rocks small, large, and _very_ large, one year, and the very next year, bam, there they are again, waiting to be moved again. 😂
Same thing was told to me by my great uncle here in NZ. He owns a farm located in one of the glacier formed valleys. And he's constantly having to remove stones that are uplifted from the ground.
Yes, this phenomenon is also known in Western Norway as well. We talk about stones "travelling to the surface" every year or every few years, as if they can swim through the dirt.
39:43 Tullimonstrum reminds me so much of a spore creature, with the eyes on stalks, the basic spore carnivore mouth, and the strange proportions and such. I love this series, and it has really helped to re-drive my interests into these topics. Thank you so much!! Keep up the great work!
@@DinoDiego16oh his I hope so.. I’ve always loved amateur bone and fossil hunting since I was a kid and can never do it now as a low income wage slave. In my eight hours of slotted fun time a week I enjoy your videos!
That breeding stones thing just made me get the mental image of 2 boulders slamming into eachother and the then one getting bigger and a bunch of little stones breaking off.
16:30 This reminds me of a short story I read as a kid. A boy and a farmer notice that one of the farmer's horses has a limp, it turns out a large stone is stuck in it's hoof, and they rush to remove it because it's a "mother stone" and it's getting bigger. They remove it just in time and it explodes (or something to that effect) into a bunch of smaller stones that cover the field. I think the boy was tasked with removing stones from the farmer's field and that's how he noticed the horse was limping. (I also want to say the mother stone had veins, but I might be getting it mixed up with a totally unrelated story about hiding a dragon egg among goose eggs.) Harley Garbani is just a luckier Mary Anning.
I've been fascinated by the guy who came up with the Loch Ness Tulli Monstrum theory for a while ever since I came across his book, 'Goblin Universe'. The mfer sent a priest to exorcise Loch Ness and that all of reality was controlled by a series of 'Masters' who were the puppeteers of the gods. Wild shit.
The human fertility rate when it comes to hybridization makes sense when you remember that modern humans crossbred with other hominids at the time but the whole pig/chimp thing is frothing insane.
In Portugal there is a type of rock called pedras parideiras "birthing rocks" that form small black rocks from them. They only exist here and in Japan.
The pig-chimp hybrid theory is so crazy, I wonder why he didn't suggest a manatee, a dolphin or a seal, because I'm reminded of that theory that says humans have whale-like fat because they lived in water. Also, the fact that the pig species's scientific has "Sus", just makes this so funny, we are all imposters in the end
Remember that we now use pig hearts n organs in transplants n pig skin is almost exactly like ours n human meat used to b called longpork n some have said it tastes like pork n bonobos would screw jus about anything n those r the ones closest to us genetically. But genetics would've found out by now, then again the powers at n would prolly keep that silent if it was a fact. I'm jus saying, crazy isn't as crazy as most think nowadays. As time goes on the only thing for sure is that our understanding of the universe is changing faster n faster. U think we'd realize by now that we don't know shit yet, n I'm talking the best n the brightest of us.
About the human hybrid theory I thought it would have something to do with how viruses can sometimes transfer genes horizontally between species, but nah, it had to be the weird way, of course.
Never knew how much mysticism/occult was in the history of Paleontology. Always seemed like one of the most grounded scientific fields since it's usually something you can physically study, so weird to think people who used "psychics" to find fossils were taken seriously at one point.
Generally speaking quite new to the whole Iceberg phenomenon but have really fallen in love with the format. You have a great channel and these iceberg videos are fantastic. Interesting, friendly, fun with so much variety to the entries.
I never get the reasoning that just a cooling climate would’ve killed the dinosaurs. That doesn’t explain feathers. That doesn’t explain nanuqasurus and other polar creatures. They would’ve adapted.
For the living stones, I wonder if it comes from farming. Farmers will rake the stones off their fields every year to help the crops grow. However, in areas with rocky soil, you have to do this EVERY year since the winter frost pushes up rocks from deeper underground. It could be that people, seeing that the rocks returned in the spring, just assumed that they must be alive and breeding down there.
OMG YOU TALKED ABOUT MCCARTHY? I found his website once by chance and I have become entertained by its craziness since. I tried spreading the word about it because i found it so hilarious, but I've never seen anybody talk about him until now!
Kind of late to talk about it now but, I really like David Peters art. I like seeing the outlandish designs he comes up with my favorite would have to be his Longisquama art. Looks like something I would draw back in kindergarten lol.
Outside of him passing it off as “HERE’S HOW THEY REALLY WERE!”, they are fun little designs for them. Makes me hope he does this for other dinos to see how he views them, especially weirder/more diverse ones like spinosaurids.
Oh yessss I am so looking forward to the last part - I love the long videos! I'm sad it's going to be the last one though, this series has been incredible! I've been binging your other videos in the meantime and shall now go continue that 😊
So the "humans are hybrid species" thing is sorta...correct but like in more recent ancestory? A lot of homo sapiens have ancestry with some other recent human species....
Eugene's theory can be debunked on hybridization events that occur present day. Like grolar bears (polar bear + grizzly bear). You could keep going with fringe theory videos like this, present day additions to science.
Odds are longisquamas feathers are for temperature regulation or finding a mate. That chimp-pig theory does make a small bit of sense since we've been testing pig organs for use in organ transplants.
Made it to the end. I'm definitely looking forward to this final tier, but could you please put chapters in it for easier navigation? I would be so grateful. 🦖
I look forward to the final tier. It will be strange not having new installments in this series to look forward to. I love your other videos, too, especially the story reviews.
36:15 the natural nuclear reactor thing has been pretty heavily studied. There's an article I've had bookmarked with the title of _Nature's Nuclear Reactors: The 2-Billion-Year-Old Natural Fission Reactors in Gabon, Western Africa,_[Evelyn Mervine on July 13, 2011], in Scientific American. It turns out there were multiple reactor spots there, but it's the only known place they've occurred (that I know of, at least). Thought you'd like the extra information. ❤❤
Oh, and as for the sci-fi idea of really early highly developed civilizations, I'm hoping you were being sarcastic. There's tons of them. They've been around since about the beginning of sci-fi, and there's even a storyline from Doctor Who which has a whole hypothesis named after it having to do with very early now-unknown civilizations, called the Silurian Hypothesis. 😊 ❤❤
My favorite old fringe theories I unfortunately learned years ago from a popular science book of some sort so I have no way of fact checking them easily, but supposedly those were: Dinosaurs went extinct because they grew too large and the Moon's orbit was closer to the earth, so it just knocked them all dead; Dinosaurs went extinct because they were cold blooded so while they were asleep the itty bitty mammals just ate them all dead; Dinosaurs went extinct because leafy flowering plants evolved and all the herbivores got diarrhea so bad they died, leading to the subsequent death of all meat eaters as well (insert get in loser we're going to die of dysentery meme).
I really like these videos. If you're open to any feedback for the last tier, I'd appreciate a little more clarity on which of these theories were later confirmed, which later debunked, and which were already precluded by the science known at the time. Sometimes this seems really obvious, but sometimes it isn't (to me).
Humans as a hybrid species is plausible especially since we know a few hominid species have contributed to our genome such as Neanderthals and Denisovans to name a couple. There are other unknown origins to some of our genomes. Now the likelihood of crossing a primate with an ungulate is low but never zero. But getting an entire species to spawn from even back crossing would be next to impossible. It is more likely that modern chimps and modern humans arose from hybridizing proto-humans with proto-gorillas. As for the nasal cartilage, all apes have it. it's just more pronounced in humans, and not even all humans have it that pronounced. I mean you could use the same argument that humans originated from a hybrid of chimpanzees and proboscis monkeys. But even then that's still less likely than the human x gorilla hybrid theory, but still more plausible than the chimp x pig hybrid theory.
I love to watch this videos entirely, from beginning to end, but something that would make that experience better is if it had chapters on the video, so i could jump from one to another
The classical pronunciation of ludus naturae would rhyme with "why." A later Latin pronunciation would rhyme with "whey." And later English prinunciations, after the great vowel shift, rhyme with "whee." But it drives me up the wall how often Latin -ae gets ponounced as -i, -i as -ae, c as s, v as middle b, etc.
Been a wild ride so far, and it's gonna be a crazy conclusion, I'm sure. Now if you will all excuse me, I need to scour the image of a Chimp and a Pig making hybrids out of my skull. If they find my fossilized brain someday, that is why.
I live close to the Western Science Center, it's just south of Hemet in Southern California, it's a really tiny museum, half the building is an exploration center for small children to learn about the 5 senses and stuff. It was mainly built to house some of the fossils found where Diamond Valley Lake is now (they built a dam). It's good for a couple of hours maybe, so don't expect too much if you plan on visiting, but it has a nice history of the area and there's a couple of nice replica fossilized giant ground sloth skeletons on display. Sadly, it's beginning to show its age, it was built nearly 20 years ago.
I didn't know that the word Psychometry existed and was only aware of Psychometrics, so I was so confused when you said Robert Broom used Psychometry to find the fossils. Did he go about calculating some Cronbach's alpha? Running Factor Analysis against the soil's scores?
I wonder if "dark vitalism" is related to the idea of a shadow biosphere, with a similar naming convention as dark matter/energy being something that is as of yet undetectable with our current technology?
The segment on breeding stones reminded me of an old Scottish legend. In the legend, there is a large stone that journeys to a lake for a drink once a year. It is bad luck to witness the stone on its journey. There is more info about the legend in this video. th-cam.com/video/llz8EjbFdqg/w-d-xo.html
Notice how Loch Ness monster or UFO sightings have significantly dropped off each time more and more reliable and widely available recording technologies like cameras, digital cameras and smart phones came about.
Dino Diego: "Supernovas are the biggest explosions in the Universe." The Big Bang: "Am I a joke to you? I'm literally an explosion so big that I am the Universe."
The thing about Louis Agassiz's dream: There's a third, and- to my mind, more likely explanation. If you are 1) extremely focused on a particular problem AND 2) You have a great deal of relevant experience and intuition AND 3) There's some prejudice or preconception that keeps you from seeing a solution that otherwise would be obvious to you, that is when your subconscious steps in and tells you the right answer in your sleep. It's happened to me many times. I'm not psychic. It's not coincidence. It's just that I have trained my brain to solve certain problems, but I can't see the solution because my conscious mind isn't willing to give up the unwarranted conclusions that I've already drawn. Agassiz probably already had some reason to believe the fish's head was shaped funny, but he refused to accept that conclusion. His subconscious mind knew the answer and got increasingly frustrated because he wasn't listening.
Tell me if someone else has this theory, but I wonder if Pterosaurs would use their hand type things to climb trees and build nests on branches, and their wing type things would be used to help them glide down.
Dark vitalism to me sounds like the idea that there is a vital spark which defines a living thing and that that spark is actually some horrible cosmic wound. A very old religious idea, maybe the oldest. If there is a "vital spark" which can be said to change predictable matter into unpredictable life, it would have to be the existence of Hofstadterian self referential strange loops, whether in the protein coding process, in the brain or in concrete languages. And self reference is essentially the sin that drove Adam and Eve from the garden of Eden- they gained the ability to discern a symbolic system of good and evil and perceive themselves within that system as naked beings. Tl;dr: Self reference is sin, i.e. the source of all caprice, spite and suffering, and self reference is the vital spark, therefore the vital spark is sin. Dark vitalism.
I don't know much about the living stones from the Balkas but I have heard the word but it was always used to describe a stone that you can't dig past.
i recently started playing the ark and i named the second dino i tamed 'diego' and i didn't do it on purpose. i just now realized that this was literally you. the dino diego
Dark vitalism is the referreral to the beauty that can come out of the darkest of depths. The good and the bad, how the miracle of life, such as having a baby is a beautiful moment but also they don't tell you about the entrails and aftermath and smell and the poor birth giver too. It's beauty but marked.

It is bad luck to witness the stone on its journey. There is more info about the legend in this video. th-cam.com/video/llz8EjbFdqg/w-d-xo.html
ok i give in and have finally subbed, this is great stuff
Notice how Loch Ness monster or UFO sightings have significantly dropped off each time more and more reliable and widely available recording technologies like cameras, digital cameras and smart phones came about.
Have you not been paying attention to the news these last few years? UFOs are everywhere these days.
I feel sorry for this guy when he was looking up breeding stones..
The fucking images he must have seen...*shudder*
Dino Diego: "Supernovas are the biggest explosions in the Universe."
The Big Bang: "Am I a joke to you? I'm literally an explosion so big that I am the Universe."
Shhhhh, you'll hurt the supernova's feelings. Let them have this one, they never get to go out with a bang. Oh wait
The thing about Louis Agassiz's dream: There's a third, and- to my mind, more likely explanation. If you are 1) extremely focused on a particular problem AND 2) You have a great deal of relevant experience and intuition AND 3) There's some prejudice or preconception that keeps you from seeing a solution that otherwise would be obvious to you, that is when your subconscious steps in and tells you the right answer in your sleep. It's happened to me many times. I'm not psychic. It's not coincidence. It's just that I have trained my brain to solve certain problems, but I can't see the solution because my conscious mind isn't willing to give up the unwarranted conclusions that I've already drawn. Agassiz probably already had some reason to believe the fish's head was shaped funny, but he refused to accept that conclusion. His subconscious mind knew the answer and got increasingly frustrated because he wasn't listening.
I definitively like when he makes the "sorry/not sorry for mispronouncing foreign word" joke over 10 times.
In my Optimus Voice: Breeding Rocks is the right of all sentient beings
Also the Tully Monster is my state fossil Wooo go Illinois 🙄
Tell me if someone else has this theory, but I wonder if Pterosaurs would use their hand type things to climb trees and build nests on branches, and their wing type things would be used to help them glide down.
Can't wait for the next one! Soviet Abiogenesis sounds wacky
Take your time with videos I’d rather better quality then rushed

Longisquama wings; maybe meganuera wings from captured prey during fossilization event?
30:28 "And no, McCarthy, your chimpanzee/pig fucking theory is still safe."
I was at work and started cough laughing. Christ.
God bless Dino Diego
That Eugene McCarthy dude looks like someone who gonna be looking for Manbearpig
i knew a girl in high school who thought pebbles grew into rock and then boulders
Now that T-Rexs had the possibility of developing culture (snicker) they should be on this list.
Dark vitalism to me sounds like the idea that there is a vital spark which defines a living thing and that that spark is actually some horrible cosmic wound. A very old religious idea, maybe the oldest.
If there is a "vital spark" which can be said to change predictable matter into unpredictable life, it would have to be the existence of Hofstadterian self referential strange loops, whether in the protein coding process, in the brain or in concrete languages. And self reference is essentially the sin that drove Adam and Eve from the garden of Eden- they gained the ability to discern a symbolic system of good and evil and perceive themselves within that system as naked beings.
Tl;dr: Self reference is sin, i.e. the source of all caprice, spite and suffering, and self reference is the vital spark, therefore the vital spark is sin. Dark vitalism.
Nah, no need for apologies, it's worth the wait imo
26:47 someone didnt realize the Island of Dr. Moreau was science fiction
I don't know much about the living stones from the Balkas but I have heard the word but it was always used to describe a stone that you can't dig past.
insane how this series started a year ago 👍
26:56 Manbearpig speculations are very persistent.
i recently started playing the ark and i named the second dino i tamed 'diego' and i didn't do it on purpose. i just now realized that this was literally you. the dino diego
Sure thata was a trip but thanks, now I have more wierd stuff to investigate.
"Breeding stones" is a baller band name btw I'm stealing that.
Dark vitalism is the referreral to the beauty that can come out of the darkest of depths. The good and the bad, how the miracle of life, such as having a baby is a beautiful moment but also they don't tell you about the entrails and aftermath and smell and the poor birth giver too. It's beauty but marked.
i love theese videos i hope you can make them faster keep it up
You killed it king
