    As a researcher of Nan Madol, I appreciated your perspective. One thing that is clear when you visit the site is that most of the corners of the structures are tilted upward suggesting an Asian influence. The primary theory is the founders of Nan Madol came from Taiwan and it was in use up to 400 years ago. Also I'm returning as I believe I have found a freshwater source within the ruins them selves.

      if you're researching nan madol, pls, go make public that they _probably_ built it as living space for the citizens, to have the fertile islands for food production.
      and if u're really researching this on a professional level, why didn't u point out that not only the rich, but ALL citizens lived there, within strictly guard-separated parts for different classes of the ppl? nobles, clerics, traders & workers? that's quite commonly known. i somehow suddenly doubt that you're doing this as profession and think you just wrote "researcher" in terms of "being a curius tourist".

      sailingmaster it really isn’t.
      And Tuts tomb wasn’t a game changer, the Rosetta Stone being deciphered was. Tuts tomb was just a big deal because it was the last tomb found intact, all the others had been found and excavated, gone through by robbers, or destroyed by the Egyptians themselves when opinion of certain pharaohs changed over time. But other than that, nah, it wasn’t anything that changed the way we approach archaeological research.

      A. It’s not in a politically stable area

    Have anybody spotted the building basalt blocks (long hexagonal logs) are nearly the same for the site number 5 (beginning of the video) in Indonesia and site 2 (Nan Madol) ? I mean both structures were wisely constructed from such basalt logs, probably without cutting\prepearing them - the builders just took them from nearby old inactive volcano site there the logs were already formed and separated from each other. The crystallisation of molten lava can cause that it breaks up into separated blocks like these.

  • @JeffinBville
    @JeffinBville 7 ปีที่แล้ว +66

    We know a little bit about a few things from the unrecorded past but we really have no clue. We do know one thing, technologies come and go and come again so to say something would be 'impossible' when it comes to construction, would be incorrect.
    Let me give you an example: stone/wood carving.
    Go to an historic site that people have been going to for a couple hundred years and you'll note that early on names and dates are chiseled into the rock/wood and that the ones from the 18th and 19th centuries are very well done. But then note the same for early 20th century carvings and you see they've declined in skill until you get the to 60s and 70s and they're naught but scratches. It's not that the skills of wood and stone carving were lost, it's just that we don't use them anymore. But elsewhere in the world the skills are still there, still being used and one day they, too, might move away from it.
    So, some archeologist comes around 1000 years from now and digs up one of these places and notes the same thing. Will he think that society lost those carving skills? He might, if that's his only dig that dates to a particular time or there are very few.
    That's where we are today. Archaeology is just one of those things that takes time -lots of time - and lots of digs in as many different places as possible to try to string together what a place and time was like - but it's only local, not global and not even regional.

    • @benlucas3625
      @benlucas3625 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      So what's your point? Certain skills and technologies have been lost through time as we can not replicate what the ancients did even with our technology. That is anywhere on the planet today, no one can. The video talks about a region and how the skills seem to be degrading in that one area over time. So instead of getting better and more advanced as was assumed, knowledge is lost, skills degrade and so modern isn't always better or more advanced. While sometimes knowledge and skills are preserved in other regions, sometimes they are completely lost in time.

    I'm not surprised that modern humans would so vastly underestimate the capabilities of ancient people. There is a conceit among modern people that we are the epitome of knowledge and that we somehow do everything better and the ancient people were ignorant inferior savages. It reminds me of the young people today who can't do any math in their head because they are so dependent on calculators and are astounded that I can calculate what is 15% of $20 faster then they can enter it into their calculator app on their iPhone. Our ancient ancestors had to be smart and perhaps smarter than us because they had to survive with far less than we have today. At a time when a scratch or a common cold can kill, you have to be extremely smart and/or observant to survive. And by "you" I mean each and everyone because there were no public service messages, internet, books, or even schools except for the 1% - member of the upper class.

    I'd say the most curious thing with these kind of things is that there's a good chance (because that's how bizarre humans are and were) that the people came up with ways to construct these things but not for things like the wheel. Because there was no need for it at the time. Take ancient china for example. amazing achievements in many areas, but compare their roads to those of the roman empire. China had the means to create a road system on par if not better, but in the end, they didn't, mainly cause there was no such neat.
    IIRC ancient greece had the means to built steam powered engines, yet neither they or the romans or anyone at the time got around to develop steam-powered vehicles. cause there was no need.
    And I'd not be surprised if the reason for at least some of the items in the vid was sheer, stubborn pragmatism. Like 'Yeah, we'll carve and carry these huge block of stone all the way to have a catalogue about what we can hunt in the area, but why the heck should we built a settlement?'

    Assuming that ancient people were significantly less intelligent then the majority of people today seems rather presentist in logic. If we were to assume that they were equally intelligent but didn't have access to knowledge that we have today instead having different knowledge and understandings of the world thus different capabilities. These sites make a lot more sense. And it presents a conundrum of why and how those civilisations failed and declined. Which begs the question how will our civilisations fail ?

The sun micronovas, according to the newest theory, triggering the earths rotation to stop, the plates to unlock and spin atop our liquid mantle and up to 14000 foot tidal waves. When it is over, everything is under thousands of feet of newly formed concrete and a new ice age begins. This is the matrix.

    • @WhatifAutist
      @WhatifAutist 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It's important to remember that until the Industrial Revolution, basically all of the world's great buildings were related to religion. There was constant competition to create bigger, better and more awe inspiring structures to show the civilization's dedication to their faith. That resulted in thousands of men spending years, sometimes generations, to create these structures. When people believe that they are doing the bidding of their gods, they tend to put in a little more effort than normal.
      You also have to consider that many of the stones that ancient people used had natural seams that could be used to separate chunks of rock rather easily, it made it significantly easier to create one ten ton block than it was to create ten one ton blocks, and while there wasn't a ton of transportation inventions back then, they still had the ability to do things such as use logs as rollers and carry stones by boat.
