The rocks in the Purcell mountains on the southern area of the rockies in Canada, are dated around 1.4 billion years as well :) I recently found some stromatolites way up top as well, attached to rocks. :) thanks for the video!
The Gennargentu massif, the Jura and the Appalachians are almost a billion years old and at their formation they were part of one big mountain range, taller than the Andes.
An orogeny is a mountain building event. A Wilson Cycle involves orogenies but it is actually the opening and closing of an ocean due to plate tectonics.
Just stumbled on this video while searching your Gili T video, as geographers, we found this unbelievable entertaining and informative, we subbed to you immediately:) Oh and we're South African, which is also cool😀
Freaking kool!!!! I was just showing my daughter videos about table mountain, came across your video and viola! We learnt some simple stuff about geology and learnt about the oldest mountain on earth.
This kind of reminds me of the style of Johnny Harris. Great little informative edit and motion graphics are good in helping to explain the concepts you're talking about.
Love a bit of new info about rocks! It is incredible they are still there. I thought the mountains in Newfoundland were some of the oldest and now 400 million years is peanuts. They are babies.
I recently bought from a local geology store a small, partially polished piece of these rock formations. it came in a little box that refers to it as "Archaen Butterstone". It was only a few dollars but the info provided with it got me super curious about the greenbelt formation. which is partially what brought me here to this video lol. fascinating stuff.
Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed nerding out with me about rocks and learning about the oldest mountains on earth :)
Hey Justin , let us know if you will be coming to the East Coast (Durban) , we would be more than happy to show you around, once the levels drop. ✌🏼

Love this! From an enthusiastic South African geology student!😍 I’m busy with a project on the Barberton Greenstone Belt for Economic Geology!⚒
Awesome! Glad this video helped jump start your research on Barberton :)
Cool! Thank you! I’ve found here what I’d been searching
Kinda nerdy but still very cool and interesting. Also, well presented. You did well here! BTW, Cape Town looks like a cool place to be locked down in.

Thanks for checking the video out and geeking out about rocks with me :)
Amazing video! 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Fantastic video! Deserves wayyyyy more views and likes IMO
Awesome Vid! Made me go to Barberton Mpumalanga after lockdown😁😁😁
Alternative theory of Barberton formation is really interesting.
Bro your videos! You're going to 100k very soon. Crazy quality. The attention to detail is mind blowing.
Thanks for checking the videos out Vidur. Much appreciated :)
I loved all the animations! Awesome job and interesting content.
I'm from barberton and I didn't know this wish I learned this at school
Crazy how much the quality has really gone up since the Remote Year vlogs! Loving all the motion graphics that you've been adding in recently!
Thanks Danny! Ya I look back at the Remote Year vlogs and some of them are so cringy hahaha. Thanks for sticking around for so long :)
Underrated video, hope it get viral on near future by TH-cam algorithm

Thanks Jenny for nerding out with me about rocks! :)
I'm glad you're experimenting with a more sustainable (and informative) formula for your content, dude. 👍
Thanks Eddie. Ya trying to create content that is interesting and informative and not just me filming me :) Hope you're doing well man
Just missed you! Just found you. Give us a shout when you return to CT. Good vids!
I heard appalachians and atlas mountains were one range?
Great video!
You dug this sooo deep 🤣 i can feel it hahahah
hahaha yess rock puns!
Love this video!
Giants!!!
where is the spot you end at bro?
Scarborough :)
I thoughf the Huron mountains in Upper Michigan were geologically the oldest.
They are 1 billion years old, so younger. Interesting video!
👍👏👏👏
You look like Glen maxwell ..
Nix the butt view shot lifting the coffee table. 😮
the oldest mountain in the world is in arab
I'm sure there are some old mountains but they aren't the "oldest" :)
where is arab
I'm so sorry for you, you have a good choice to make videos but subscribe far less !
