Got a good story you could cover, it's about the throat ear and nose specialist who invented a plastic wind pipe, then started going to Eastern Europe to find people with throat cancer to try his intention out, bypassing safety trials and animal testing to quickly try to prove and market his new invention. After 5 or 6 weeks, the patients started to smell a funny smell. This was their selves slowly rotting on the inside. The surgeon wasn't even in the country anymore, and these poor people with families couldn't do anything, and not even any hospital could do anything. You should cover this story to warn people about medical nightmares and rogue doctors.
My husband won't wear anything but Sheath underwear and whenever I see a sponsor for these guys I always say something because they also got awesome ladies stuff too
Shieeeeeeeeeet.....
@@PeckhamHall I am pretty sure he has a channel for this kind of stuff, you might want to say something on there, i forget what one it is sorry.
Advertising can be tough just keep the modling two your self, ...😅
It should be noted with the cave paintings the boys didn't leave the place for a week and then come back with a Priest. They arranged a watch over the cave and camped out protecting until someone with enough cloute could get the attention of the proper professionals to research and preserve the site.
Thats just awsome, they cared enough to protect it and made sure an professional saw the discovery before any intruiged ppl came by and disturbed the place
I love Simon and hope he gets all the TH-cam channels in his empire.
He's amazing. And so well-learned!
He just reads a script lol
@FCI_Coach__Eli You mean he doesn't coordinate the videos, choose the topics, set up nee channels, deal with the sponsors etc?
@@archstanton6102 somewhat, but he does have a whole channel that's him reading and reacting to his writers script.
It seems that he lets his writers go with their interests, while also giving ideas on topics and letting them run with those.
No. He’s getting more lazy with the production quality and they’re making more and more stupid mistakes and even repeat stupid mistakes.
Learned something new today about the term "prehistoric". I assumed it means a time before writing was invented anywhere but actually it makes more sense referring to the introduction/invention of writing in a specific place.
I always thought it meant no written history in that region. However, it wasn't until watching this video that the nuance of different regions having different prehistoric timelines running in parallel occurred to me.
Two people who studied the Lascaux caves were recently guests on TH-cam's Event Horizon with John Michael Godier, if you're interested in a proper analysis of the cave paintings, including the likelihood that the paintings were used as a calendar of hunting seasons for the different animals.
Art from that is amazing! Human's from every age have had a love for art for a very long time!
I remember reading in National Geographic when Otzi was discovered. I would love to see a deeper dive into Otzi's story and circumstances.
Strangely enough, I also heard about him in national geographic, my 6th grade science teacher had a copy of the magazine in 1998 or 99.
Dan Davis History here on TH-cam has an excellent and very comprehensive video covering everything about Otzi. Davis is a historical novelist and it really shows in how he writes his scripts. Definitely recommend!
There is so much about him now. Just look online. In fact, they did his DNA and uploaded it to all the major websites and I'm related to him.
Can't dive much deeper into him when we we know everything about him we ever will and even then half of what we know is just best guesses and speculation. Wanna know what we really know about him? Jack shit
Oh there's plenty of material on what they found out about him. I'm german and even though he was found in Austria, it still felt like...i don't know, a "wow, a deep physical inquiry into one of our ancestors"-type of feeling, if that makes sense? followed it a lot back then and kept myself somewhat up to date with their findings, super interesting if you ask me.
The Ötzi memorial is so wild for me, like just imagine him and some buddies 5000 years in the past thinking about the future. Could you actually imagine that one of you would be remembered in someway so far into the future?
Dude, imagine if his killer knew
You mean when my ancestors read my TH-cam comments?
From the development of writing to dietary habits, tools, and art forms of our ancestors, exploring the prehistoric period provides valuable insights into our ancient past.
We black Moors invented awl dat stuff n tawt u yt peepo how 2 doo it. We wuz kangz n shieet
I recall my history teacher from high-school talking about the Olmec heads and statues. He was a mam who played football while wearing leather helmets. He taught all kinds of stuff. Also had me do a report on the Bosnian conflict as it was 1998 and that was fresh history.
I like to believe he helped promote my passion to learn about history.
Of all of the giant stone moving I've tried to wrap my head around, I find this one the easiest to rationalize. They carved giant boulders into balls, rolled them where they needed to go, then carved it into a head. To do it any other way would be insanity. This is the only time I've thought that's plausible. Still, ridiculously time consuming, and impressive.
What a great idea. I’m sure they did something of the sort to make it easier to move.
People get bored and do crazy stuff. Imagine all the free time you'd have without the Internet, TV, books, etc. Your only entertainment is that which you provide yourself, and people are crazy.
@@leftyeh6495 you left out all the free time you'd have if you didn't have a job/owner.
@@leftyeh6495 You seem to be forgetting that you had to hunt and gather your own food each day.
Seeing Lascaux was always a sort of holy grail journey to me, yet I'm happy it's protected now even if I'm never see it and feel the chill on my skin. Luckily it's been extensively documented. I've got the book of the last photographs from the 90s.
There's so much of the middle east, Turkey and the -istans I ache to see. The best I think I can hope for is the area being stable enough to send my grandadkids.
Go and see the exact recreation, knowing the original is very close by. That is if you are lucky enough to be able to travel.
Now I know there's a recreation it's on my to-see list. 🙂
It's sad that they didn't prevent Ötzi from disintegrating. When they found him, he was almost totally intact. He's skin had visible tattoos.
Now he's almost just a skeleton. 😦
They should have preserved him in some kind of liquid to stop him from disintegrating.
Them making replicas of the Lascaux caves for the public is friggin brilliant
They did the same with the Altamira cave
Otzi went out like a legend
Ötzi looks more lively than some politicians and it’s sad.
Nancy and him used to date, then Otzi went for milk and didn't come back.
Lmao
@@DanaOrtiz 😂😂😂😂
Leave Mitch McConnell alone!
@@DanaOrtiz Smart move. Imagine spending 5000 years with Pelosi...
None of these were new to me but I still learned a few details.
The cave paintings are great and all, but more importantly, did they find the dog?
Inquiring minds want to know.
These are my favorite type of videos you do! Thanks Simon! Love your voice!
1:20 - Chapter 1 - Otzi the iceman
2:20 - Mid roll ads
3:50 - Back to the video
6:10 - Chapter 2 - Lascaux cave painting
9:25 - Chapter 3 - Olmec colossal heads
Haha, Martin is stealing your free labour
I love Simon because I’ve learned so much in 20+ hours than I can recall. It inspires me to research further and explore. Thanks Simon I love you this much 🦖
Otzi fought off his assaults like a boss!
The picture of Marcel and his dog robot cracked me up, I was waiting for Simon to chuckle about it but he stayed focused.
Yeah, it was a little weird. lol
The Museum of Archeology and Anthropology in Mexico is amazing to see in person. You could spend days there looking at the history of Mexico and the surrounding areas.
Cave paintings can be thought of as an ancient form of pictionary as the depictions are a way to better portray a message. This just shows that they had used a very basic language but still used visual stimuli to tell a story. They also used carved wooden pieces shaped like animals like dolls.
My 11th grade final history report was on the Olmec. They are learned and discussed, it is just the media puts so much emphasis on Aztecs...
When I was a teenager, I saw the original documentary about Otzi, and I could plainly see an arrowhead on the xrays they had taken, but they kept saying they didn't know how he had died, but probably from exposure. Back then, there was no way of contacting the scientists except by letter, and I didn't have an address. A few years later, it was then announced that Otzi had died after being shot with an arrow! That something so obvious had been completely missed by the "experts" has made me question so-called experts ever since.
Next time something like that happens contact the National Geographic; they have contact info in their magazine; they might be able to help. Or you could try the Smithsonian and even your local library has a person who helps get answers to questions like that. Good luck and sorry you’ve lost your way.😊
I've always believed a diploma does not make one infallible.
This especially hit home when I had to school my primary care doctor on medication I was taking for Crohn's.
He was supposedly the best in the area.
I go to a different one, now.
I wonder what Otzi ths iceman would think of those Sheath jocks??
I'm related to the Otzi man through his mother's DNA. Obviously, I don't know the entire record, but I think it's very cool the scientist did his DNA and uploaded it to all the major websites.
That is so cool
Looks like a pretty rough cold you have. Hope you feel better soon.
Otzi being lactose intolerant is somehow cute 😅 not his suffering, but the fact that something so relatable existed so long ago!
In reality, most people except for Europeans and some very select African, historically nomadic with cattle, tribes are lactose intolerant.
Our ancestors, yours being sub-Saharan African and mine being East Asian, didn’t have many cattle as the wild ancestor of domestic cattle was only native to North Africa, Europe and Central Asia.
Otzi is one of my favorite archeological finds. Such an intriguing look into our distant and undocumented past.
this guy is what the discovery channel should be!
I mean I'm pretty sure we were taught about the Olmec in school because I definitely knew about the Olmec in there crazy old-school leather football looking helmets. I think the American education system has failed like so many others because not only are their students that don't want to learn but there's teachers that don't really want to teach
I'm amazed that people denied for so long the ability of common people to labor to create colossal art (for whatever purpose). I always think of the massive cathedrals built with stone that was brought by men, women and children both in celebration and penance rather than as forced labor.
I want to visit Ur, both as a historian and a lover of dogs. It's a long running measure of the best, worst, and most humane of who we were and still are.
Don't forget that prehistoric almost means hunter-gatherers. They didn't have the large food stores of the agriculture revolution. Work on large structure like the Olmec heads would require working for a bit, get more food, working for a bit, get more food,... It would take a very long time, perhaps generations.
@@ShawnHCorey so does every great community project, whether feeding the artists or the workers. There is a passion in community and civic art that binds communities together for generations. I'm sure grandparents told the little ones, "this is the work of my father, and your father dressed the stone for the nave floor".
My city has an almost obnoxiously ornate capitol building. My great uncles, for 3 generations, had the company that gilded the towers and cupolas. My grand fathers on the other side did masonry and prepared the surfaces for the murals. And those were modern and only a handful of generations. Most of us have been horse trainers lol.
@@AnamLiath Yeah but your family members didn't have to stop every few days and then spend weeks getting more food.
@@ShawnHCorey Most of the ones in this video appear to be from after the invention of farming.
@@ShawnHCorey an interesting idea but they already had cities and an abundance of extra food which could be sent to the next day camp. It’s more likely these were moved by the general population as the Pyramids were built as a religious function. Remember the Great Pyramid was not the first pyramid to be built. Several other smaller and sometimes unsuccessful pyramids were built first and with each one not only was the pyramid built but the infrastructure for taking care of the workers were thoroughly built up too.
That was great Simon! I particularly liked the section on Oetzi the Iceman. I only knew the basics, so I learned a lot from you today. Thanks!
The real heros are the people skipping the sponsor and making the graph for the rest of us.
Great presentation as always. Thanks!
Imagine picking one person to represent all the people in your region. There would be plenty of things they did the same as other people. But their would be plenty of things that were specific to just them. I wonder how they take that into account when finding a 5000 year old mummy.
They did take that in mind and continue to do so with each new discovery about this individual. Yet even if he dressed completely different from his fellow Copper Age people; from just his sewing techniques, what leathers he used, the other fabrics of his outfit, how his copper axe was affixed, his tattoos, his hunting gear, etc... all this gives us an idea of the technical aspects of his community at large and not just of a single individual.
@matthewjohns1758 Great point. They could differentiate personal style from the technologies that were used to make the garment and tool.
In modern day we have Steve the mathematian, Eric the Architect, Roger the Rocket Scientist and Dave... who eats glue...
A volcano erupts - a la Pompeii- and Dave is the only one preserved. 😂
It’s always the kid that eats glue. 🤣
I do like your titles. 100% clickbait but they suck me in because it's exactly a topic I find interesting and I'm usually satisfied.
LoL not sure if you understand what click bait means. It usually refers to a thumbnail promising content that doesn't happen in the video. The thumbnail and title for this video pretty much reflect the content. An example would be a sexy girl on a boat and suggestive wording in the thumbnail but the content is just two guys fishing. But I'm with you that Simon is natural click bait because every time i see his face i click😅
Legends of the Hidden Temple was actually brought up in History class by us students in elementary school and the teacher (Mr. Yergonavis) explained the Olmec to us and its rich history. I'm sure this happened in a lot of other American Schools too.
Not at the Texas schools I went to but I graduated in 2013, so a newer history book probably came into circulation after I graduated or they just didn't think it wasn't important enough to put it into the curriculum.
I wish!
hahaha....no

Australia has cave paintings older the 30000 years look at them
Love your videos about history. Summerians developed first writing system, and Egyptians totally stole it 😛
You Wish!!!😊
Ancient Egypt is well overrated. Sumerians invented writing, and their number system is still used today to tell time and for geometry. Egyptian maths was quite poor, especially fractions. The Sumerian sexagesimal system made for far more accurate fractions.
Sumerian writing system was adapted by others until it eventually was replaced by invaders writing system. Hieroglyphics was replaced by the likes of Coptic because even the Egyptians realised what a horrible system of recording data it was...lol
@@AtomicExtremophile Thanks for the info. I'm obsessed with Sumerians tbh.
On the colossal heads: To be fair, Olmec civilization straddles the line between prehistory and history, given that archaeology has found stilae with carved glyphs that very strongly suggest there was a writing system in place early on. The problem is, aside from what Simon mentioned about dating rocks, that we can’t really decipher these glyphs except for those depicting numbers or dates.
Notice there is no facial hair on the Olmec heads- how very interesting !
I feel validated that the oldest naturally-mummified body of a European ever found was also lactose intolerant. xD
Would I buy a 100 disc box set of Simons videos? Probably. Will they one day recover that in the future from my hoard of vintage media? Probably
Bodies on the surface of earth for 4000 years we're just finding now
Prehistoric art is more about revealing. Eskimo carvers have said this, they aren’t creating the figurine as much as removing the excess material freeing the figure within. Look closely at some of the animal art as it takes advantage of the underlying rock
Hi Simon can you please do a video Sir Nicholas George Winton MBE was named a British Hero of the Holocaust by the British Government. Winton was awarded the Order of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, Fourth Class, by the Czech President Václav Havel in 1998. he was a British humanitarian who helped to rescue jewish children who were at risk from Nazi Germany just months before the start of World War II he saved 669 children all of them would’ve probably have been killed by the Nazis if he hadn’t got them out please do a video on this man thank you Paul.
Another theory about the Olmec Heads is that the boulders were first carved into thrones for the rulers and then, after death, they were carved into the iconic heads. This idea came about because some of the thrones have been carved down partially into more of a rounded protohead-like shape.
Simon and the Angry Video game nerd Jame Rolf and Mr Beast are the TH-cam holy trinity.
I love Simon, can we do something about this music though 😂
What if the Lascouex cave paintings were also used as a teaching aid for childrens , showing them not only the animals but were is the best place to stab them or trow a spear for the best effect?
Caveman speak: _"Krog! Pay attention! Angle of deflection 180 degrees minus deviation."_
Very fascinating.
The more times I hear people talk about how the American school system failed them, the more I appreciate the teachers I had in public school, because they did a great job compared to everyone else’s teachers apparently. Especially the history and science teachers.
Likewise! When I was in high school in the 70s, my county's school system was third in the nation, on standardized test scores.
Most of the time it's arrogant Europeans bragging that their system is better when they learned the exact same courses - only in metric.
Oh, the wonders archeologists wil discover in The Blazement a thousand years from now.🤔🕵️
Entertaining & Educational
Woot woot!
I just cracked up at the image with credit to "Utilisateur", which is french for "User" 🤣
Have we not discovered anything new? It’s like all discoveries are on repeat
The marks on the animals of the caves represent their mating and reproductive periods. This was recently indicated.
There are a lot of killing scenes where I believe the spear markings show where to throw the spear to make the best kill. I believe the cave was an indoctrination ceremonial area where young boys(girls too?)were taken to tell them about hunting showing them where to throw their Spears and at what time of the year. Also as a gruesome side note I also believe that they killed Mares near foaling killing the near birth foal at the same time. A delicacy? Two for the price of one?
Prehistoric is get more confusing as a term just because it's pretty clear we as a species lost the ability to write for a few thousand years maybe more
And, with Millenial and Gen Z internet speak it looks like we're about to lose literacy, again, for a while...
All Hail Simon, Lord of TH-cam.
What do you think are the chances otzi was a serial killer who was hunted down and killed? Random thought
Your awkward British manner talking about the Sheath sponsor was the highlight of the video
TY 🙏🙏
1:14 Otzi the iceman
3:50 end of sponsorship

Thanks, now I don't have to watch because I've seen enough about these common civilizations.
I read that as they're not going to be advetising anymore 😂🤦♂️
And the dog? Did they get him? 😁
Love when a 13 minute video has a 3 minute add lol
Legends of the hidden temple was a dope show and referencing it will get you a like and a comment every time.
Yes this my gold
Simon is very special to me. I often quote a lot of things from casual primalist that nobody understands because I rarely find anyone as nerdy as I am.... simon is that nerd 🤓 and I greatly appreciate all the subjects he covers because they are all my interest.... well he could have a channel on bugs and weird animals and maybe strange clothing hauls but who knows what the future holds right? anyway here's to the new channels I proposed becoming his 19th and 20th channels he produces. go on channel I particularly love is brain blaze just because it shows the full Simon in all his glory. on no other channel is he so unhinged as that one, and I love every ounce of that caffeine fueled intensity. I am still in the market of buying me and several of my friends that asked me about My cult t-shirt because I have big plans for the Future....
I think it is the writers who are nerdy. Simon doesn't write his own scripts.
Back back back back back back GONE!! another smash video
It's no surprise that the "catholic priest" was also "friend" to all of those young boys lol
Still LOVING to see yourself on screen. Oh, what self-fasination!
Was Robot the dog saved?
Otzi went out swinging
STRAP HIM TO THE CHAIR!! -Wise Amerikan
Did they ever recover robot from within the caves though?
Somebody tell Simon happy 4th of July for me
Otzi! :) Always been fascinated by him. Did he die was he killed what was he doing up there...that kinda stuff.
61 tats 4000 years ago? Holy shit
Chapter 2: Lascaux Caves.
I think Serrenia de la Lindosa in the Colombian Amazon has got it beat..maybe not in age, but immensity?
“The American education system failed you and you didn’t know that there really was a civilization that did this” my fourth grade teacher carrying all the weight of my Native American prehistory (school) teachings: 💪👩🏫
To be fair to a few of my other later history teachers a few of them did cover more recent history surrounding Native American peoples and I’m pretty sure more than one covered the Aztecs and stuff. I just remember my fourth grade teacher covering prehistoric stuff and pre-contact stuff more than any of my other teachers and she was pretty good about it too. No shade to my sixth grade teacher who covered more modern stuff, but out of elementary school teachers (and my pre-k through 12 teachers in general) my fourth grade teacher was the best about covering stuff from the Clovis people to the snake mound to the Olmec people. Weirdly enough my seventh grade math teacher probably taught me the most about the Pueblo cities when she went over some math stuff that involved buildings. I don’t remember any of that math stuff but I do remember the Pueblo cities. I mean, desert cliff cities??? How cool is that?! Her classes also improved my ability to draw trees when she covered fractals. Not the information she intended us to remember, but it’s the information I do.
Blue barracudas 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
This guy was an ancient badass. He killed his attackers, and he succumbed to his wounds.
At the end of a huge battle he fell to his knees and said, _"I am Otzi Man"_ and snapped his fingers before falling over dead.
His body was all that remained of the aftermath.
"sciencey folk" lol
Yess
Simon you still haven't learned how to say Tenochitlan even though it's been in several videos on different channels. 😅
_"If you grew up in american school systems you probably didnt learn about olmec"_
British School Systems: **also not teaching about olmec**
Just goes to show that one mans graffiti is another mans ancient cave art. lol
April 29 1770 was prehistoric times here in Australia... think about that for a minute.
Is that when the first prison ship arrived?
@@NarwahlGaming It's when people who had a written language arrived :-)
Yes. The American Education System failed me. Almost everything I know was teleported into my intergalactic quantum knowledgegate by aliens.
While the Olmecs are fascinating, it is not considered the first major civilization in the Americas. That would be the Norte Chico in Peru. They predated the Olmecs by two millennia. However, the Olmecs were the first major civilization in Mesoamerica. Still a fascinating people.
Always wear a Sheath
Yes but what about the silver snakes and orange iguanas?
One thing nobody knows about the olmec is that their modern name comes from Nahuatl 'oli-meca', that is, the chewing gum people...

The Olmec heads all have similar facial features that many people believe to appear to be African while many other smaller Olmec sculptures represent people that look asian and others that distinctly look European
