Underrated news this week was the discovery in Morocco of petroglyphs representing the fall of meteorites.
Also , Morocco is famous for dinosaurs fossils with regions full of it like Kem Kem Beds.

Oh man I'm never gonna say "Gmail" in my head correctly, ever again.
Arab Twitter is stuck in my head as well! XD

I'm Moroccan and that was hilarious....but still he looks like he didn't get much education so the fact that he is dealing with foreigners is interesting
😂😂
from morocco here , never heard of Jmail never in my life . good for him using technology to grow his business
You ll find the best space rock in ketama
Isn't there a state prison in there....nah man im not going anywhere near there...royalties n shit
So... Musk pays €200 000, finder gets €50, business as usual...
The same people always get the end of the stick.
Meteorites once they have been found requires classification, most of the time it's not known if a particular meteorite is of any significance until it's been to a lab for study.
It's far easier to set a standard sell price based on the finds not being classified and no research done on them.
They don't know what they have at the time of purchase. If they did it would be ethically and morally wrong to buy something worth $1million at the price set.
It would mean the bedouin traders would need to have a laboratory to earn the money associated with significant finds.
@@freshimpactco.8698theydontknow what they have?? They specifically search and find These Stones... Its morally wrong, No need to justify it, but thats business
I'd probably walk right by most meteorites, they seem hard to recognize, especially if not magnetic.
dude there are landmines in the desert, i know this because i am from that region
I have meteorites here in Kenya if anyone is interested. Very many indeed
@Joe Bloggs Lemmi have your email to contact you please
Is it just me or is that goathearders story straight from a book? I demand a film being made about him when he finds a huge metiorite
FINALLY something that isnt political. This is what I came for. Interesting videos!
Lol orange snowflake
The comment section is a clusterfuck of politics, scroll no further
welcome to vice after shane smith sold out for half a billion to tbs
Old vice with tim pool was great ,this reminds me of old cool storeys ,at one time vice was cutting edge now limpdick dems vs.repubub retard sheeples crap,remember when you watched offbeat news instead of doing retard snarky comments all day ?Yea the Internet is dumbing down
It's all good, as long as large corporation don't send their own people and destroy the livelihood of the natives.
“It keeps them off the streets” What streets ? It’s a desert
It's a metaphor. In this case the streets would be things like terrorist groups, don't be ignorant.
He’s being in Morocco for awhile he knows what’s going on . It’s like I don’t have to say it but you know it
Koala picture, check
Name, check
Ignorance, check
He's a incels meme boy alright.
Chase Forestello to assume people in North Africa only have options like joining terrorist groups is ignorant. He was being literal in the sense that it provides them an alternative income.
@@misterhash9932 Not a whole lot of good going on in North Africa right now bud. You'd be lucky to find any means of income. And I specifically said "like" so I could provide an extreme example which covers the broader range of possibilities such as being homeless which is the least of their problems.
Me: I have a $50,000 one of a kind lunar breccia meteorite.
Rick: I have to call on an expert.
Expert: It's the real deal it could fetch $100,000 or more.
Rick: I can do $500, I'm taking a gamble here.
😂🤣 So true, I have a couple of meteorites and I was told they weren't meteorites lol.... Be careful who you deal with in this trade, it seems to parallel with the diamond trade.
Life has so many twists and turns.
That adam guy speaks really good moroccan dialect
They need a magnet, two wheels, and some rope...walking around pulling a magnet behind you is much faster than checking every stone in the desert by hand.
wow! so many meteorites in just one place? so many meteorites falls on the earth?
I saw a guy on the discovery channel 20 yrs ago doing the same in Arizona and I thought to myself that's not a bad way to make a living but of course didn't.............smh! About the same time a meteorite broke apart over the S. burb of Chicago where I'm from and did cause some minor damage like going through a guys roof and his 2nd floor and ending up in his living rm.........a university came out and set up a site at a firehouse in one of the burbs which also had damage and was buying what people found and the guy whose had the hole in the roof made enough to get a new roof plus an extra 20K. The meteorite that went through the fire stations roof was bigger and caused more damage but the town made enough to fix the roof plus 50K....not bad!
I found one stone like you have there. How can I send you a picture?
I'd love to own a metorite
We've been saying G-mail wrong all these years... it gmail...
The animals shown early in the segment are fat-tail sheep. The narration suggests that they are goats. While I understand one of the hunters' translation mentioned goats, there may be a discrepancy.
4:55 it creates wealth he said. Yeah mainly for him. This shepherds walk the desert the whole day looking for those meteorites, you guys give them pennies for it and sell them for 10/20 times more.
its like star wars
That is a business in every industry see the same only mediators gain profits .
they need to retrieve those infinity stones from thanos

Those aren't drugs nor blood diamonds. You can sell them anywhere, it's not a controlled trade.
@@SkywalkerWroc you actually can't in most of Africa including Morocco leader Saadeddine Othmani says anything that goes into Morocco air space belongs to him if they get caught selling stuff they get beats or jail time for stealing from Saadeddine Othmani.
@Aqua Fyre nothing I didn't mean anything about colour I just said this guy cause the other's were brown in this video I apologize if you were offended.
@@kaizenmckenzie4782 Where the hell did you get this idea from? Have you ever been to Morocco? lol
@@yassineam4851 well there's Whites in Morocco blablabla but all the desert folks looked clearly brown
Hi i have some meteorite

This sheperd's accent is baffling, he speaks Arabic better than the middlemen.

so basically meteorites have an intrinsic value. hmm, whatever as long as the money flows in a favourable direction.
how many goats for the reporter
لدي ما يفوق 5 كيلو غرامات هل من مهتم ؟؟

It's funny how u guys show that arabic lands are made just from desert And the people living in it are just nomadic people.
Dude there doing a video on meteorites you want them to go looking for it in Casablanca?
Berber lands you mean ?
@@bartsmit9729 when arabs came to maghreb they welcomed them with warm hands. As a amazigh myself (pls stop calling us berber) i love my arabic brothers and we don't even notice that we are from a different race. And when u put it like that. It's like saying america is for native people.

Fist of all. I've been requesting to do a story on Morocco about the latest political bullshit that is happening overhere. And this is what I get..
Space rocks seem more interesting to me than politics...
And one last thing. That sounds like a personal problem so why not spend your time making a difference in the community you are in and less time on TH-cam lol
Essmara is not in morocco is apart of Western Sahara
It's Morocco. Western Sahara is a fiction.
