- Today I return to the archaeology world and begin the project of restoring an Ancient City in Minecraft. Joining me on this adventure is MC_Oda. Because this is the introduction, we have a little bit of fun with it.
We will be treating this like it as if it were a real archaeological project in the real world, with a few exceptions. The first step in something like this is to meet the client and go over the project details. We will also need to scout and map the site before starting anything.
Big shoutout to Impala100 for bringing his particular flavor of goblin energy to the secretary role (I'm convinced that character is an omnipotent multiversal chaos being that really likes centers of bureaucracy and you cant convince me otherwise)

I am a professional archaeologist with many years worth of field work under my belt in the American Southwest. The information presented here is based on my professional and academic experiences. Not all archaeology is done the same everywhere and, as such, experiences differ. The information here is overly simplified and presented as a form of entertainment with the intent to lightly educate as well.
I guess what I'm saying is: if you're an archaeologist watching this, this is just for fun, don't be a jerk.

Dont worry, Oda put it back. The city is fine :)
It belongs in a museum!
THE ONE PIECE IS REALLLL!!!!
Lol, good!
Imagine going on an aerological dig and finding a genuine monster lol
Ive had a few close calls with bears while doing archaeology before, so not too far off, haha!
@@daskalosBCEHonestely probably close to a Warden as one can get in real life. Big. Hates noise. Can smell you(r food). 😂
Very true
@@daskalosBCE
Mama bear says, "NO TOUCH THE ANCIENTS' HONEY!"
@@RryhhbfrHhgdHhgd356 And has a lot of health. The drops tho...
As someone who's tried to repair ancient cities before, I love that you're doing this.
Awesome! I'm interested in what you'll think after we are done with it!
Lol
some buildings are just "here's like 15 blocks of cobbled deepslate in a vaguely square-shaped formation, good luck" it's awful
@@aguyontheinternet8436 the ruins in Vintage Story are way more full
I also tried doing the same thing before, I nearly finished I believe, but the main problem was trying to figure out what some of the buildings were supposed to look like, additionally the majority of the main city walls I had to redo because the asymmetry really annoyed me. I also added several water channels throughout the city, interpreting the ground of the city to have once been canals through which boats would come through, and the main entrance display build thing was lined with pools of water.
I also gave the city several Roman/greek inspired architecture rebuilding the roofs like that of the Parthenon
By the way, if you're using a dark sign, you can dye the text white to make it easier to read!
Bonus points if you add a Glow Ink Sac!
That's helpful in the deep dark!
Im really intrigued by the world building here, like the mention of the warden, skulk being an invasive species, concern on the environmental impact of project. They were all really smart additions
A lot of what the director talked about is real life Section 106 stuff. :)
Nice! I really love the detail you add to these! It manages to be educational and entertaining at the same time
The worldbuilding that grounds it in minecraft as well as reality at the same time is really good, too, like the implication by the director's lines that 'water drops' and 'bubble elevators' are standard equipment here
@@michaeijcaboose2037i mean if it works why not use it
OH! Thaaaat monster! 😆 Had a great time recording this episode with you Daskalos! Can't wait the the rest of the series!! Impala's little "love you too" after speaking with the director had me rolling!🤣
Episode 2!
“No living descendants? Is that normal?”
The script for this episode was so good! I love the educational elements mixed in with the Minecraft terminology; can’t wait to see what next episode has in store!
It's rare finding a calm, scripted story in Minecraft these days since SMPs started, and this gave me flashbacks to the older Yogscast videos they used to make.
Plus the idea of bringing ancient structures from Minecraft back to life and using real archaeological techniques to do it is so unique and cool!
Loving this so far and SOOOO want to see more, keep it up!
I made a new survival world last week. Spawned right on the edge of a mountainous taiga, and lucked out in having a LOT of meadow around. It's a gorgeous biome. Today I decided to jump down in the river and investigate a large cavern I saw that had an obvious mineshaft in it. I'm only in the mineshaft for a minute and a half before I look down and realize... Oh. That's an ancient city. The most dangerous area in the game. Directly below my base. Never thought I would see a warden for the first time long before I even kill an enderman in this world. Gotta say, running around an ancient city is a surreal experience when your base is pretty much a bunch of subneolithic pit huts.
Honestly, once you've got basic tools nothing else really helps in the ancient city, except maybe elytra and ender pearls.
@@ElijahDawkins-yb1uc Yeah, as long as it's not a hardcore world and you can respawn nearby, once you summon a Warden you don't really have a reason not to take out as many shriekers and sculk sensors as possible. Granted, I was playing modded and there was also a bunch of blind cave bears chasing me.
@@louisdarden108Oh god what
What is the world seed
@@fishcatdcatfish9231 -6532517131776949751 in Minecraft 1.19.2 with Large Biomes. I'm playing with Biomes O' Plenty, so the same seed and Large Biomes won't make the 100% same world, but since the Meadow and Deep Dark are both vanilla, that should be pretty consistent. I just tested, so it may take a couple attempts to get the Mineshaft and Ancient City. Once you spawn, walk east, jump down into the river, turn south, swim for less than a minute and you should see the entrance to the cavern in question in the right-hand wall.
I just stumbled upon this recently and it’s a super cool project. The second the archaeology edit came to Minecraft I thought about all the educational potential it had.
Hello from a (soon to be licensed🤞) northern Ontario archaeologist.
Nice, welcome! Glad to have you! Do you have something in Canada that is equivalent to our Section 106 process?
"I turned Mob spawning off"
Famous last words.
The receptionist just messing with the lever is so real 😂
Been waiting to see how this goes! My brother and I raided an ancient city once before, and "rebuilding" it was something we initially thought of doing but lost steam on - instead deciding we really wanted to find a good world seed to build a town. If I recall, the ancient city ruins are a bit more "together" than trail ruins... except for the decay which is "skulk" all over it.
Well im glad youll be following along!
I think every Minecrafter who ever came across the ancient city has tried to restore.
Personally haven't, was too dangerous
OMG @oda testing the pit toilet had me in stitches!! 😂
beautifully edited and super stoked to see how this project turns out!
Thank you!! 😁Im glad you agreed to make a cameo!
Man, you were hilarious!! So happy you were able to join us!
Honestly I would love to see Pueblo Bonito restored like this, seeing what it truly looks like is amazing.
I would love to do that at some point. I just don't know if I am allowed to or not. I might ask my boss if that would be a possibility in the future
Given that the city architecture is based off the warden, and sculk is found exclusively in the deep dark, I would assume it's native, or else had already long since displaced native life by the time the city was built
The city doesn't present remains of only one civilisation, with the presence of dark wood and towers, those can be assumed to be from a Pillager ancestor, that found the ruins in some point. Also there is a giant portal in the middle of the ruins,t hat could be where the Warden and the skulk come from.
@@nemesissombriathe portal cant be where sculk comed from because sculk can appear elsewhere. Also the portal is built with sculk blocks and the city is built with sculk in mind
@@supercharged5-39 sculk took over the city, only on stone-type blocks, and the city could've been adapted for dealing with the warden after he came through
I actually have a video about this which talks about the ancient city and why the construction of it points to the common theories being incorrect

You should totally pick up Gneiss Name for a collab if you can. Hes a geologist that makes geology videos about minecraft and using minecraft as a medium.
omg that’d make an amazing collab
oh hell yeah
Yesssss I remember thinking to mysdelf "I wonder what you would do with the other ruins in Minecraft", glad to see you're touching on the ancient city :)
I enjoy this growing group of MC scientists! It would be very cool to see you work with them more and others (like Gneiss!). I think he could provide some great insight into the areas surrounding the ancient city!
I know this is jumping the gun a little, but there are also ancient ruins in minecrafts oceans as well as plenty of sunken ships.
Autosub
I love watching professionals bringing their passions to Minecraft
I like bringing my profession and passion to minecraft!
Yes. You should do one of these major ones like once a year every summer or so. :) I also like the colab, I've been here since last year 2023 with the trail ruins. Maybe try out the ocean ruins next due to the suspicious sand? Or if they add a new structure idk.
Thats a good idea! Ill have to file that away in my potential videos notebook! Thanks!
@@daskalosBCE Yw Yw
@@daskalosBCE It could be cool to hold a contest for an archeologically significant site in the community with you later exploring and restoring the contest winner
banger of a first episode! I have tried "rebuilding" an ancient city myself, mostly just replacing sculk to see that it would look like, but I haven't gotten very far. It'll be fun to see what you two (three?) find!
Thanks! We are really looking forward to the journey!
Very happy the archeology series is back and even better
I'm so excited for this series!
I'm curious, would the location of the invasive plants like the shriekers and skulk sensors be archaeologically significant - perhaps indicating where native life may have once flourished? Would you mark it, or plant something there? Also, are you going to have the area lit up eventually, with the mountain above replaced?
If you don't mind suggestions,,, regular lanterns would provide more light than soul lanterns, and you can cover things like jack-o-lanterns with carpet. Glow lichen may be moderately useful in replacing skulk. And, for the map, you could copy the city up to some remote area of the sky and frame maps of that, showing the city layout despite the mountain being on top of the real site. If the schematic commands work in command blocks, it could be done periodically at the push of a button.
So, interestingly enough, there are plants (non invasive) that grow in disturbed cultural soil that we look for out in the field. Rumex and Wolfberry are two that come to mind.
Also, for the lighting, we have an idea for it already that i think youll like and will mesh with what we are going for.
I like how much effort you put into emulating the archaeology process about as realistically as you can in Minecraft this time. Really nice step-up from the start of the trail ruin excavation series!
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words!
Yes, realistically cut and pasting a massive mountain in hammerspace
@@Mikemk_ tbf irl they'd be able to use some kind of tech to map it out. like a drone or walking through with lidar
monster ?? 😟😟😟
SO THE BOARD HAS APPROVED YOUR BUDGET 😃😃😃😄😄😄
I now have a video/movie to watch and enjoy. Yeah!!! :-) I play MC but haven't the past few weeks due to working. But oh my - I am excited I have this to watch. My grandson's got me playing when MC first started. I am "almost" 75 - and plan on playing until I go home! :-) God Bless Granny Lee
Enjoy! There's much more to come!
Hi, 73 year old Minecrafter here. I've been intrigued by the Archeology added to the game. I've excavated several Trail Ruins and even recreated one on a public server I play on. Next up - restoring the recreated ruin as Daskalos did in the earlier series.
Love the narrative you two have going on, excited to see what you do with the city!
Us too!
Oh i am going to have to watch the Trail Ruins one! I've always wanted to do this kind of thing, but just the amount of blocks needed to expose these things to air is daunting to say the least. Super cool.
You should! Its a cool experience!
I really hope that this series sparks some real interest in archeology.
Me too!
This.... THIS IS WHAT I LIVE FOR! THE FLAWLESS COMBINATION OF FUN **AND** EDUCATION! You sir, are an Inspiration and I tip my hat to you.
Dang, I need you to follow me around and be my hype!
A- are there pigs with saddles trapped in that sofa? How terrible... yet ingenious.
Yep, its a data pack. Dont tell PETA
@@daskalosBCE Saddle pigs are funny, but there's datapacks to make slabs and stairs into seats too XD
I don’t know how you’d do it but it would be interesting to do one of these projects where you do have a descendent community to work with - maybe the villagers?
I'm so excited for this!! And wow, it's off to a GREAT start! The camera work is amazing as always, and the intro skit did a great job of entertaining AND informing a little bit about the real-life process! Top-notch!
Thank you, this comment genuinely put a smile on my face!
I absolutely LOVE the role-playing elements in this series, along with the music and scenery. Oh, yeah, there’s archaeology too I guess.
Just kidding, I like the archaeological side of the series just as well as everything else.
Oh, I am SO excited for this series!
Im excited to have you here for it!
first time seeing these videos but this seriously reminds me of old minecraft videos in the best way possible! adding a bit of a skit before everything and just everything?? love it, super nostalgic :3
This is going to be epic, especially with a map reset on my server coming soon, so I might follow along.
I like ancient history so this should be fun.
Honestly, seeing this as a person who wants to become a paleontologist (and for anyone who might say "those are two different professions", I know), it's satisfying seeing this. Though I was thinking of maybe getting archaeology under my belt too. It's a debate, but I do love stuff about history when it's something that I am interested in
receptionist on the line with the director
"Okay. Okay. Okay, okay. Luv you too. Okay"
Hilarious 😂
These types of videos have that old minecraft on youtube charm with the new content of today. Absolutely love this episode and cannot wait to see more!
My only critique could be the boat scene being shorter, but that does not take away from the overall video
This feels almost magical, like it comes from a time lost to us, but found again.
I love this.
I absolutely loved the introduction and Museum Director segment.
I wonder how long the average time between initial decision to begin a project at a previously surveyed or known location and final send off.
I imagine quite a bit goes into it it, such as the mentioned cherry blossom grove group mentioned .
I believe some of it was mentioned in one of the earlier dig or q&a videos.
I'm looking forward to what comes next!
omg you made a whole little show! i’d watch you instead of netflix anytime
Nice!
whoever you are, keep making this series. This quality is incredible
Reminds me of those old 2014 commentary Minecraft videos i love it , the chill mess and calm tone
I'm loving this, the whole story and roleplay element is so good
I love the personification here. Archeologists uncover a city so old, its name is forgotten by time, coated in eldritch horrors. But instead of the typical dread & revelations, they just go ahead & restore it.
That director looks like he also worked as a doctor, a firefighter, a delivery man, a pilot and a masseur
The intro to this video feels a lot like the old Minecraft adventure maps youtubers would do, really nostalgic and Made me really happy, I am 100% subscribing and leaving a like
This gives off such massive 2013 machinima vibes
the "oh god, he's right behind me, isn't he?" was amazing, thanks for that 😂
was looking for this comment
I love how realistic this is! I can just imagine how this will influence young kids into such a unique and fun field (and your cousin paleontology). I know I would have loved something like this that's actually super informative.
I'm a paleo intern now, and I'm kinda learning this stuff as I go and by proxi. (I actually got offered to go out on my expedition recently! 🤭). It's also nice to see this and more details of the process
Educational value 10/10
Fun to watch 10/10
Humor 10/10
Role play 11/10
Comment value 10/10
@@daskalosBCE Wow! Thanks! :D
I love the inclusion of all the other people like the director and the people of the Cherry Mountains! It makes it so much more real!
as someone who favours rebuilding ancient cities and turning them into bases, I genuinely smiled when I saw the title
This is turning into a really cool series. I hope you keep doing more projects!
When I clicked on this, I didn't expect it to be Minecraft Machinima (my favorite microgenre!!) (also, all of y'all should watch the Three-Body Problem in Minecraft)
Can’t believe Stargate was accurate about archeology I didn’t realize they actually dug up ancient portals-
I know you previously said that you wanted to keep your stuff vanilla so it was more accessible for people who can't or won't play modded, but I'd personally love to see you delve into the Fossils and Archeology mod.
As the mod stands right now, it is currently heavily focused on the Paleontological side, with very little focus or attention to detail to the Archaeology. However, the developers of the mod are currently working on a major overhaul to the mod, including giving the Archaeological side of the mod the attention it deserves and adding a massive expansion to it, with many structures and artifacts based on real-world civilizations, as well as some fictional mod-oriented ones that you could have some fun unearthing the secrets of. (Some of the fictional stuff does have magical elements, but the devs have stated that they want the real-world-inspired civilizations to be more grounded in real science, so you don't have to worry too much about that.)
The overhaul has no set release date currently, so if you'd like you can hold off on deciding, but in the future you could start a series on that, with Oda to help with museum, base, and enclosure design. And maybe, you could even have a real Paleontologist join in and provide their expertise as well!
Or, and just hear me out here, the developers could come pick my brain on how to make the mod more realistic :)
@@daskalosBCE I'm pretty sure they have an official Discord server where the dev team hang out and post progress updates now and then. I don't know if they'd respond, but you can certainly try to contact them through that, or maybe through some of their social media accounts, and give some input and feedback.
This is a very unique concept for a series! Keep up the good work, I'm already invested!!
Even though this is just for fun and not 100% accurate to real life, I loved the realistic parts and this series convinced me that if I ever have a chance to get involved with an archeological project, I'll jump at it :)
It's my first time watching your videos, and I must say, this is one of the most unique Minecraft projects I've seen. It felt very nostalgic and it kind of reminded me of old Halo 3 Machinimas in the best way. I love everything about this, I can't wait for more!
this is so cool, very enjoyable i cant wait for more stuff like this!
I'm not sure if I regret putting that first lever on the desk way back when... Impala has been impossible ever since. 😂😂. Great concept!
I have a warden OC known as the Phantom of the Deep... now I a thinking about her interactions with an archeological team and want to do a whole series of drawings or a story arc on her blog xD
A creepypasta of an archaeologist discovering a cryptid would be a cool story, I think
17:00 “you can see what I’m doing with this.”
Me: Well, its a little too dark, but I’ll take your word for it 😂
I genuinely, truly, sincerely love the idea of these guys running around in a Minecraft world playing like kids doing make-believe.
whoa, I stumbled upon an absolute gem of a channel! so much good content to watch!
Ive been looking forward to this since it was teased, I'm so excited for this series!
As some one whos trying to repair an ancient city i respect you
lovely video!! cant wait for more!!
This Saturday for episode 2
I have been wanting to do a project like this in my own world, so cool to see a pro do it too!
I have a project with 3 ancient city's that are under my spawn.
I'm turning it into a single pristine giant city.
I've mined most of the space that i wanted. And I've came up with some building designs already. I can feel the burnout but this project is worth it
I'm implementing dark oak and copper into the block pallet. It makes sense in my worlds lore
FINALLY!
The biggest archeological find in minecraft lesgooooo!
Oh man I'm just 5 minutes in and I'm hooked, well done!
Awesome! :D
I am SO EXCITED to see this as it goes!
(I turned off the lights in my room when I finished my work to watch this. And as the darkness effect from the shrieker hit, thunder started rumbling outside my house. Perfect timing.
This is actually amazing 👏 we'll done buddy
I love it ! Your videos are so good !!
Thank you so much!!
god the intro gave me so much nostalgia to old yogscast and the shadow of israphel series
This is a really cool concept blend! Super great work!
THIS IS SO COOL. You never miss Daskalos! (Or MC Oda!)
5:20 since the world is øn peaceful the “warden” can be considered folklore also the inhabitants of the ancient city seemed to worship it
this is super fun, loving this!
Imagine going to an archeological site and your colleague just makes the top of a mountain vanish
Oh yeah! I was waiting exactly for that!
And also there are actually many videos of ancient city restoration, but it will be much more interesting to see real archaeologist perspective on that.
Yep, and I am purposefully staying away from them just like with the trail ruins series in order to not skew my process and interpretation :)
Your Replay skills are top tier, but you knew that
Thank you! Its quite a learning experience
"It's nothing to worry about too much."
. . .
This is my first time watching one of your videos and I love it! I’ll keep an eye out for more
You are doing what i always wanted to do but never could
at least he didn't use tnt to get to the treasure
I'm very exited to see how this goes!
This is so cool! def gonna check out your other series
Awesome I love these unique minecraft videos
I remember the days when you had little to no views... Youve grown so much since then and you deserve it all!!
Thank you so much for saying that! I really try hard to get these out. I'm glad you've stuck around!
As an academic, I'm thrilled to see some bureaucrat representation
