- The Black Sea is a place of great mystery and antiquity. Scientists have found evidence of ancient submerged civilizations in the Black Sea, indicating a sudden rise in sea levels around 6000 BC. Ancient legends describe a time when the oceans rose above the land, causing an entire civilization to vanish beneath the cold waters of this ocean region. Could this be the great flood described in the Bible during the time of Noah?

Interesting and thought provoking documentary, spoiled only by the unnecessary background music and poor audio quality.
It really does.
Agreed
Loud background music, audio levels are all over the place on mostly everything.
Idk why you guys are surprised, this wasn’t made by professionals, it’s on TH-cam hehe
haha same, I thought I had problems with my airpods😂
Fire your sound tech and get the cat to do it, it couldn't get any worse.
The ocean sounds so majestic
@@User-rka_zykx76 The sound is terrible.
Cats are a symbol of white supremacy and slavery.
Not loud enough to hear so I gave up on lstening. The subject is very interesting to me but this did not help.
What a shame this video was so screwed by playing LOUD music right over people talking so that you can't hear them! This could have been a great documentary. You're suppose to STOP the music as soon as someone is narrating. In addition, one person voice was too loud and another too low ... terrible quality and mixing of audio. Why would someone post a video without listening to it first? It's all about money.
What's wrong?!?!@
Black people can't be loud!?!?
Roses are red, tealeaves make tea..
Is there a sunken bronze age civilization under the black sea?
I turned sound way down and cc on. Makes it a lot easier to follow
4:31 Wish all the voices were as loud & clear as Dr. Phil’s
😂😂😂😂 Dr. Phil by day Ice age writer By Night 😂🤣🤣
@@lumanshadowboyhisdogfriend3488 😂😂😂
I’d watch, but the sound is terrible.
Sound is very poor - too low and with the music nearly as loud as the narrator. Too bad.
A lot of early stuff underwater.
Of course ,duh ! Changes over hundreds and thousands of years . Nothing biblical about it.
flood myths are much much older than Noah for good reason. many communities have died in massive floods before the internet was there to record it. coasts and mountain valleys are great places to live and to swept away in a flood.
Like Dodgerland
There's also people that didn't keep any records. The romani and others if they did record things, they wouldn't keep anything.
The Celtics, the white goddess book isn't accurate. They didn't leave much records and the guy that wrote the book didn't care too much on scholar archeological findings so the book isn't worth it if anyone has been intrested.
@@forrestfey Dodging the Land
or Dogging the land?
I think you need to review the last sentence of your comment. It doesn't make any sense.
You mean Doggerland in the North Sea area @@forrestfey
Possibly
Allegedly
Presumably!
5:19 I did not know Dr. Phil was a history buff😅
Lots of great information but the music drowned out the narration multiple times.
At 2.63M subscribers, one would think you can afford an audio engineer to avoid stretches where the voice is rendered undecipherable by the music.
They donated too much money to BLM to afford a good technician
You don't need an engineering degree to adjust sound levels
They are only reposting videos, they didn't make an of them.
Fascinating. Gratitude.
Keep lookin out for Conan the barbarians tomb!
I wanna thank Dr. Phil and Luiz Guzman for appearing in this production
😂😂😂😂
Nah man thats steven and justins dad. Those assantis from my 600 lb life lol
The music and voice volume are at the same level.I don't like it
The people who lived there raised horses and built carts. When the flood hit they started traveling and they never stopped until they reached the Tarim basin and Tierra del Fuego. The Black Sea preflood valley was the homeland of the proto--Indo Europeans. That's what I think.
Terrible sound and unnecessary distracting music. 😞
Very interesting
Late stone age, early farming villages, but probably no cities of any size.
I just want to say how nice it is to see scientists from around the world, including Russia, being able to do their thing together.
Ah, happier times.
I know you didn't make he documentary, but is there anyway to fix the sound? It is extremely difficult to understand the talking (volume is on 100, usually I keep it at 40), and the music usually overtakes the talking.
There seem to be a number of topics that will cause a good number of people to vocalize their own superiority, reflect their insecurities, and to lose that filter and post the most atrocious comments. Politics, Religion, and now any time you share an opinion. It's history, lacking physical evidence that cannot prove/disprove historic events is what makes the discussion and research fascinating.
I agree, enjoy the content or leave. I have my faith/beliefs, and I love science. You will find that the two are not mutually exclusive, so please just enjoy the content or not not.
I think it is very difficult for a person to make up a story of fantastic things. When old sailors told stories of waves that rose out of the ocean and swallowed whole fleets they were scoffed at. Now science, modern ships, and bouys provide actual film and measurement of these once "mythical" waves. It may be that many of the older texts have strange stories but they would have started with a grain of truth. Remember the great library burnt to the ground. How many of the texts are now list and there knowledge gone from written records. Not everything we agree with is right because we agree with it. Conversely just because it is something we disagree with does not mean it is wrong. There is a story with in all stories that walks the truth. Finding that truth is like finding a pearl of great price.
Well, that is true, many myths have at least a tiny bit of truth in them but people are a bit too happy to interpret them the way they want it. Like claiming that the Greeks just like the Bible had a myth of a great flood. That is a partial truth because the Greeks had at least 4 different myths about 4 different floods. It isn't really that strange either, almost all old Greek cities were next to the sea so flooding was something that happened now and again.
I am also confused why they think the Biblical myth happened in the Black sea here. The flood myth in the Gilgamesh epic happened in the Red sea and the Bible was written down down during the Jewish exile in Babylonia so they were well versed in that one and frankly even if they are unrelated, the Red sea is closer and a storm surge can indeed make a huge flood there so it seems like a likelier place.
I don't really think either of these myths are related here, the Greek one were supposedly happening in the Mediterranean outside Byzantium that was a Greek colony originally and while that certainly also could have affected the Black sea, that is not what the story say.
That said, it is certainly possible there might be a Bronze age or late Neolithic city or town under the Black sea but not really a "Civilization". There is certainly a treasure horde of sunken old ships in excellent shape at the bottom of it at least, some so well preserved the rigging still can be seen on some of them due to the lack of oxygen and sea life in the lower layer of it. It is a very promising area for very exciting finds.
We need to be a bit careful when looking on myths. It is easy to pick a certain part of them and then move the area they were supposed to happen in to make things fit. Sure, they could be based on that and have moved with the oral telling but generally, that is more wishful thinking unless you can actually prove them.
With the black sea, I would rather have them look for more ancient ship wrecks then anything else. We have already found shipwrecks as old as 300 BCe in a condition that is unparalleled and it isn't impossible we could find a Mycenae or Minoan ship there (we know they sailed in the area), that would teach us so much about their ship technology and what they traded, something we basically just know from depictions and a few texts like the Armana letters. That might not sound as exciting as a lost civilization but it is darn close.
The problem with the myths is really that very few of them really talks about the Black sea when you actually read them, it takes some creative changes and assumptions to move the myths a bit and that rings some warning bells to me.
But you are right that some of them are based on true stories. For instance, there were this area in Öland, Sweden who were supposed to be cursed and the locals still avoids it. Some years ago, the archaeologists found a fortified town there. Someone had set fire to it and killed everyone there but just left them, all their valuables with them and just went away. People still remembered 1600 years later that something really bad had happened there which is your grain of truth, but the details were long gone. What happened is still a mystery, gold was rather rare at the place and time and still no one bothered taking it for some reason.
The hard thing is to find that grain of truth...
@@loke6664 You hae a well set out and logical argument. I agree. On the sunken ships I think if we found a few with any written material on board we may have examples of some of the forms of writing such as linear a. That in itself would be a treasure.
@@StephanieElizabethMann True, the more Linear A we have, the easier it will be to finally decode it and the current amount we have is pretty limited.
Still, we would have to get pretty lucky for that. Papyrus and parchment with ink doesn't exactly have great survivability under water even without oxygen, but a vase or something with text on could certainly survive intact.
But even without any writing, finding an intact ship from the bronze age would tell us a lot about sea faring from the time. We do have a copper age ship in good shape, the Khufu ship found next to the great pyramid and we have found more then a few ships from the classical era in the Black sea but nothing from the Bronze age.
A Greek or perhaps an early Phoenician ship from Tyre could tell us so much. :)
I think just the possibility makes further surveys of the area well worth it, even if I have serious doubts of any lost civilizations in the area. There is a lot more area to cover and there will be more wrecks there.
It's actually quite common for people to make up stories of fantastical things.
@@twonumber22 my comment maybe didn't convey that I some story that is completely new, novel and bears no relationship to anything or anyone that already exists.
Music is way too loud.
Honestly with everything going on and tsunamis and flood myths all over the world in different cultures there’s no way there was a flood, or at least multiple smaller ones rather than just one massive one.
The audio is horrible in this video, which is too bad as the subject in interesting
how did this sound pass QA?!
I was smoking Crack when I made this.
excellent doc. Whoever mixed the music in needs to be sacked tho.
I really wanted to listen to this but the audio is terrible and music to loud
I think u got a point, when the gate of gribraltar broke, it flooded the Mediterranean and spilled over into the black see heavily, therefor the flood.
Starting to look like we still have alot to figure out about our past somthing cataclysmic happened set us back by alot
There are probably several that are sunk.
I would love to watch this video but the Volume keeps going up and making it first hard to listen to and then loud as heck.
During the bronze age people traveled from the Mediteranian to Sweden to trade for amber.
The end of the iceage, around 8000 bc, was still the mesolithic period. A middle stoneage culture would certainly have been displaced.
We're still in an ice age; you're talking about the last glacial maximum. Also, how long ago the Mesolithic period was varies by region, it isn't a single time period, either. It's ridiculous how these videos invite idiots to make themselves known. They watch random YT videos and think they're experts. At least you didn't bring up the Younger Dryas.
@@TheEudaemonicPlague indeed, we are in a interglacial period. I was talking in general terms, and about the blacksea region.
And i would say again that a stoneage culture would certainly have been displaced by the inundation of the black sea basin.
The guy wearing the fish shirt is to Texan, he talks exactly like Ron White 😂
I was thinking Dr Phil, but yeah 😂
When was this made? The reliance on myths as historical fact and the misunderstanding of carbon dating and volcanic deposits is very dated and alarming.
Very low sound, terrible
It probably was when the Mediterranean Sea filled up
That was a long time before this. The Mediterranean has been full for millions of years. Good videos about it on TH-cam. When it has gone dry in the past, it becomes a giant salt pan desert that would be a real nightmare to cross.
Your music is way way to loud
Fifty metres below the present level. The notion of a " negative rise" is actually stupid.
So is " off of".😮
Yanquís no hablan inglez.
They have fantastic things
If that's a serious question maybe someone should look
Wow I really wanted to enjoy this but I can't hear the speaking over the unnecessarily loud background music.
I have my volume all the way up and cam barely understand the narrator.
the russian navy has sent a cruiser to look for it😂😂😂😂😂😂
Makes sense since they control most of the shoreline
so the answer after one hour is yes...or no. nice.
AI voiceover. Expect better sound quality balance.
This is a very interesting topic but I'm hearing impaired and can't deal with the audio. Sorry I can't finish it
If you want to finish it, the closed captions seem to be pretty accurate (unlike a lot of videos in which they’re auto-generated.) I use captions quite often.
Is James related to Dr. Phil?
Maybe. All them white people look the same.
It was very difficult to watch this video. The audio was terrible. I could hardly hear it. And some of the scientists I could not understand over the background music. Don't get me wrong, the subject is extremely interesting to me. I first read "Noah's Flood" by William Ryan and Walter Pitman back in 1998, and have been interested in archeology ever since. I do not realize that there has been research done to the level you have shown here. Thank you much.
So many haters here???? Wtf? Don’t see you guys making anything.
They kept moving south and Bingo
Hellenes,Pelasgians were born
no nothing down there a fish told me
This was difficult to listen to due to the poor sound quality. I also had a bad feeling about this documentary at 03:10 when on the map someone had written "Sumer" as "Sumner". Yes, the "m" and "n" are close together, but wouldn't you check before publishing this map? It's probably not an "Absolute History" map, but I wouldn't use it with such a glaring error.
Music too loud, By By !!
Go get me my foodstamps!!!
Decades....is not fast.
Civilization is misspelled in the title of this video 😂😂😂😂
Well , global scale , considering the naval vessels of the time , could it have been truly global and not just polar ice caps receding and flooding the once emptier region of the Black Sea? There’s no connected ocean and other studies have concluded that the rise of the Black Sea is due to polar ice melting , it’s not hard to imagine that after a large cataclysmic event that it could record rapidly and slow as the body of ice shrinks and temperatures stabilise . Interpretation and time can distort reality greatly
Ai
GAYI
Isn’t this like the fifth time this channel has uploaded this???
Not everybody lives off of Wrlfare and food stamps like you. So.e people have to lie, cheat,and steal for a living and other upload videos a dozen times!!!
Check your GRITS!!!
For those who arent believers, why post anything then? 🤦♀️
Yeah when u tunnel 2 much 🤔
There was never a flood. Just the sea rising and falling over time.
If it rises fast enough it resembles a flood. Plus rising sea levels doesn't sound good for oral traditions
That's what floods are lmao
hmmm
And so to the Bronze Age Collapse?
Comment section is hella funny. You educated comedians
All I know is when around blacks; DON'T relax. Ya dig, ya jive azz turkey. 🦃
The length of time, that man has existed compared to the universe wouldn't measure the with of a hair, so as a result how could humans possibly have the ability to surmise anything, at best it's a guess not a fact
I was happy to see that the Russian perspective suggests volcano activity effects carbon dating. WOW
Illyria?
Everytime you see a smith lay a blade to a band grinder your seeing the stone age.
Ymir...
Yo is that dr phill?
Probably. All you white people look the same.
You can call it flood myth or imagination, on shores of black sea Region called Caucasia, Georgians, Armenians, Ingush, Azerbaijani, Chechen every single person knows ''myth'' about great flood and arch of Noah (myth says that after waters rose black sea area, Noah embarked on mount Ararat in modern day Armenia, and by myth, legend or old testement it's said that Great son of Noah, Togarmah had sons whom were gifted lands of Caucasia, Movakan, Bardos, Kartlos, Hayk, Thargamos, Lekos, Heros, Caucas, Egros. Modern day people of Caucasia. its even written that this brothers Led by Hayk, raged war against Nimrod first king and personally killed him)
Why'd your narrator sound like a TTS bot?
Didn't even get three minutes in. Jesus Christ we don't need constant music to stay interested. It's SO off putting, and very distracting.
Pete Pete and repeat. Any chance of you doing research and getting new documentaries?
Are you talking about Pedo Pete, Aka Pedo Peter, Aka Joe Biden?
The Bible is _extremely_ accurate…
When thrown from a short distance
I’m here for the comments roasting the audio quality.
I'm here because I'm on welfare and disability so I don't need to work.
@@MagicalKneeGhrow omg same!!

The stupid unnecessary sound effects ruined this documentary for me
For me, the sound mixing, has made this unwatchable.
I woke up, drunk, In a garbage dump in Mexico 40 years ago on Labor Day weekend. I was there, and so was the bulldozer driver who woke me up. Our 2 ridiculous perceptions of the same event have probably been retold differently by people who weren't there. If this story is still around six thousand years from now, PLEASE GOD, don't let it becomes a religion!
Indoeuropeans
Or greeks
What a complete disappointment, horrible audio.
Yes, there is, Noah lived there before it got drowned, when rising sea levels in the Mediterranean broke through the Bosphorous, something like that. Might have been when that massive huge lake in North America escaped to the sea.
The story of Noah is pulled from Epic of Gilgamesh.
@@johnchapman-oo1el That's according to scholarship. It predates everything Greek. You can hear the great Dr. Irving Finkel explain it here on TH-cam, for example.
@@johnchapman-oo1el I don't know why you went on that tangent but you should listen to Dr. Finkel talk about Sumeria.
Just enjoy the stories..
it’s not worth arguing about or trying to ruin other peoples magic or beliefs.
That being said you don’t have to beat people with your bible & call them names for saying they don’t believe it.
If it is real, it’s their loss.
It’s perfectly acceptable for someone to want proof & to have common sense.
Common sense isn't that common these days ~
If only more people thought like this and applied it, we could have a more peaceful world

Nope!!! They be a Transformer. A Decepticon to be precise.

They look the same to me. You all look the same to me
Noah wasn't real. The ark didn't happen.
Edit, one month later: this wasn't an invitation to debate. It was a statement of fact.
Noah's Flood is obviously some kind of memory of the ice age ending.
Don't write off the bible so quickly, life is full of things that don't seem to make sense and yet they exist.
A guy didnt build a boat big enough to carry pairs of animals and he certainly didnt have the time to sail the world and pick up the animals. If you believe this story you are really really dumb.
Praying for you 🙏 so many lost souls 🙏
