He shows these things because most people consider mahabharata as a myth because science has not been able to explain these things also. And by showing these examples he wants to revive The Indian History.
what i think is, he is just showing facts, and not being a nationalist :)
This man.. Huge respects! I don't know if he's being persecuted by religious trads for doing this but the amount of insight he has for Mahabharat and the amount of time in his life he invested trying to find the facts relating to the historic and prehistoric world wide events to the epic in the name of great global civilization simply blows my mind..
Why would even you assume that he is being persecuted by any religious groups?
@@ShwetaGupta-hd6yk he is one of the scared fellow 🤣🤣 he doesn't know we respect everyone's views as long as there are no false claims 😊
@@Ravinature Sad world we live in.
@@ShwetaGupta-hd6yk is that really a serious question?
How did those massive hewn stones get so precisely carved, and lifted to such great heights- all over the world? There is SO much mystery to be found on every continent, in every human tradition, and each new archeological discovery further challenges our thinking and understanding of ancient peoples and the times they lived in. Thank you Christopher Doyle for pulling so many pieces together, for filling our minds with wonder, for providing fresh understandings of old stories, and for deepening our appreciation of the mysteries of the past, in order to better know our present!
The answer which has been proposed by many for decades is "dirt" or "soil". You build long ramps of dirt and then take the rocks up the ramps. You might use logs to roll under the stones. Once everything is built and in place, you remove the dirt ramps. It is very slow and labor intensive but it works. No high technology required.
I am fascinated about the ancient global civilization theory. Have read Graham Hancock's Magicians of the Gods and so many other books that converge on this theme. I truly believe it!
am i only one hearing it in 3D in hearphones
Me too 😔😔😣😕😕😉😉😉😉😉
Hearphones😂😂
me too brother
@@venomonmytongue9335 😂😂
Bossu😍
Okay. So 2 points comes out of this presentation:
1. There was a global civilisation that's now extinct.
2. If point 1 is true then Mahabharata, an epic that predates Ramayana, must be true as well (even if there might be an absence of archaeological evidence associated with the civilisation for which Mahabharata was a culturally important text).
You mean Ramayana, an epic that predates mahabharata?
Even the history of Alexander was based on three texts of greek writers {I'm not good at recalling historical names, sorry}. There was no archaelogical evidence of his existence.
Comment itself state from communist mentality 🔥
Ramayana predates Mahabharat. Not the other way around.
He is delucional and dangerous.
He might in the future think that Harry Potter is real, by stating UK is exsisted.
New thoughts and discovery 💡... the spark for the real history of human being
His speech on the Mahabharata and today's sceincetific happenings are great it is true we cannot say where we have to go
Mesmerizing, gave me thrill and goosebumps. Hat's off to your efforts sir.
Excellent Sir
Been to India once, will never turn back to modern day upbringings in Australia. As I’m interested in ancient history, personally this great nation has many many mysteries and history intertwined yet to be solved.
Someday the truth will resurface like always 🔴🔥
Nice work!
Well said 👏👏
The White Goddess by Robert Graves also talks about the connection between the Greeks and the Druids. Why not the Vedics? Will def read his books!
I might be wrong.. But my theory is that all these gigantic monuments were built by human species but they were way larger in size than we are today... Because of evolution, and climate changes etc, humans became shorter and shorter and we're here today...
ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS I'VE SEEN ON HISTORY
Respect.
❤️ I want to know many things from past
Same. A great book I suggest is the "Origin of Human Past: Children of Immortal Bliss" by Lakshmikanthan.
Wonderful!
Bravo 🙌
♥
done lot of research.good .
You should check your captions in english according to captions
Krishnaraja = Christian
Mahabharata = mob
Please check it.
Along with these there are many other mistaks in captions which should be corrected.
It's because they are auto generated,so it's not been provided by the channel
Waiting eagerly to hear about the Mahabharat. Where does the epic come in all this ?
😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Clickbait
You clearly weren't listening carefully.
Plz browse abt him...!! U will know where the Mahabharata comes in. Everytime u listen to some1, plz tryna know abt him. It will help u understand the reason of these yed talks
Your name sounds Indian. And you have not heard of MahaBharat, I think you must have heard about Christ.
From looking at histories put forth, religions and myths through the world it seems that to me that a lot of our references of the past are likely written by people a people that didn't fully understand what they were seeing so made connections with what they new, nature. See someone step out-of a flying craft, then depict that as a bird man and so forth, And anyone who can fly, must be godly. I'm guessing we lived alongside (or below) a far greater race than what we were at the time
👏👏👏👏👏
This was my feeling same from so long
I want to work with u
Sir , I want to work with you ..
Me too ...
Me too
Me too
Me too...
Yes me too!
Pls add subtitles
Ohh my god
He mostly tells.about only those things which we will be able to understand. If u want to to see to what he dedicated his whole life, read his books.
He is an author dude, a fictional author. His books are related to Indian mythology espeically Mahabharatha. Fictional books need not be factual, and hence cant be relied upon for historial accuracy .His aim is to make sales, make money. thats why his video titles include the name of Mahabhartha, but barely anything is said about it.
@@chittu1111 Based on mythology we count our time like year of our lord 20xx.
He said everything similar in two more Ted videos.......
Is the sound better in either of those?
@@HUNKxTofu better in both the others
the John Keely he talks about has been regarded as a fraudster on many internet platforms, So not sure what to believe. He needs to dig deeper, good start!
He's been digging from 16 years, and you're claiming him wrong just by searching on google and looking through few websites 😂😂😂
@@11musk31 kindly refer some authentic sources to help a fellow brother out then. Internet is the only resource for a lot of people. 😊🙏🏼💫
Why this vdo is seen by 1lakh people only... That's why some Liberal Hindus saying mahabharata a myth story
What I didn't get and I am yet to watch this video in full and it is already fascinating. Christopher, why do you think these stones were 'lifted'? Why couldn't you assume that these stones were already in it's place? All the people did was to thistle it away.
So u suggest the stones were already in tht position...!? Wht abt the grooves of modern carpentry in the stones...!? Don't assume too much.
What you have researched about Mahabharata I don't know.. Coz what I have watched till today you always show the foreign spots which are on TH-cam . No talk or info what you have Researched about Mahabharata . In this there's nothing about Mahabharata 01.00 to 15.37 then less than 2 min. reference of it then ????? Why using Mahabharata title saying nothing ,showing nothing provoking nothing . OK Atleast send me ONE link on youtube of your talk which is related with title . Not necessarily about Mahabharata anything you like me to Watch and listen. Thanks.
Go through his books. U will know abt his researches.
Yes absolutely, if you have to do more research he has to read vedic ritualistic manuscripts which he didn't read.. Lot of actual proves and facts comes from there, he does general fact finding.. And try to be a scholar which I belive broad but not deep..i have seen his videos..not deep superficially coving some. Generic facts from Some other persons reasearch.. doing Ted talk with engineers will find this fact awesome but people from those back ground will really know the coverage and scholarly nature of findings.. He right said people in one of the talk people see with some filter.. But i really see that he attitude shows less openness. Bring topics which are lame and compare them as facts to malign other understanding
@@Dushyantgiri dude, I don't thnk vedas can, at this point of time, prove anything... Though our ancient literatures were philosophical and scientific, bt was highly encrypted as well. Very few had the knowldege to understand evrythng frm vedas. And besides people pointing out, why thr ain't any single facts frm India, very few archaelogists plan to do their studies in India. Through this way, his only motive is to attract archaelogical companies and researchers attention towards us. And besides, the Indian facts that u r questioning, which puts u in dilemma, I'll give u few. The deep underwater city in the place whr ancient literatures points Dwaraka towards, हस्तिनापुर in Delhi, kurukhestra etc r already well known facts which proves many thngs abt mahabharata. Bt the problem is us, as people ourselves call mahabharata, a mythological book. And, that's why not many archaelogical researchers take interest in India.
@@insaneme7290 they will not take interest in it because there are no archeological proof of any of it ever happened..mahabharata was first 800 schlock now there are thousand as the story was passed people who wrote it added themselves as heroes in it ...
Go through his books and u will find to which things he dedicated his entire life. These are ony small segments of what he experienced and researched.
His other TED talk also refers to these things, ad also without any further conclusions : (
current conservation of energy cant justify his claims about the sound energy to be used to lift heavy objects
you know if a bomb explodes, people die due to hit of the fragments, but many die due to the fearful intensity of mobm. buildings collapse due to sound waves ( Boom) have you ever heard the sound booms when planes are flying at more than one < Mach.
Its very simple that from where you/we came, from mother's womb.
Damn bro!! You just solved the whole mystery of mankind.. hatss off to you!!! Just wow!!!! I'm astonished how you were able to come up wth such a brilliant idea... you're a living legend!!! It's so sad that the world hasn't recognized you yet!!!! I feel like crying but I won't, cuz I know there's a legend like you living in this world which makes me very happy!!!! Love you man!!!
just the fact that you don't know does not mean that the thing is wrong or not existed. Things exist or power in the universe always exist, its only known when people go to that level of intellect or get success in knowing it though their research or 'Tapas'..!!
You hardly talk about Mahabharata but in less than the last 10% of your talk. Not fair. Don't say you're going to talk about the Mahabharata when you're clearly not doing so.
But that 10% was impactful. 90% was reinforcement. 10% was the actual content to trigger the interest on Mahabharat.
He always leaves it upto YOU to think and explore and consider and then believe. He wants you to read more about your own roots. Don't act myopic in understanding what's his real intentions are. He has worked much more on our ancient origins and texts, than any Hindu icon of modern civilization. We all MUST thank him.
I wanna be just like you
Where was the mystry about mahabharata in this video.??
The Marababha war happened because one of the cousins made a sarcastic remark about the head of the other clan being born blind.Thus a war started that destroyed India.
Have you ever read Mahabharata. Draupadi did not call duryodhonthe son of blind man.
Actually no. The reasons were far more complicated than that. That's like saying Illiad is about a man taking an extended boat trip.
Nice sir
Cud u fix audio?
Just use one earpice of an earphone
If have any confusion about sanatan and history of mahabharat or ramayan or old past begning of earth and first of capital society sanatan and this is endless
All questions... why does he not give any answers
The ancient Indian scriptures describe a high tech ancient civilization that could fly, used beam weapons, nuclear weapons and they used a kind of internet. That highly educated and skilled civilization disappeared 20,000 years ago. How can I be sure? Because civilizations come and go in a cycle of seven. As is described in the Mahabharata and ancient books from other peoples. The cause of this cycle is a planet that approaches our sun and its planets every few thousand years. To learn much more about the cycle of civilizations and recurring floods, ancient high tech and aliens, read the e-book: "what I know about Nibiru". You can read it nicely on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Just search for: know Nibiru
Communication or oral voice ic not clear .
I have all answers about
We dont know our history properly....
They built sand ramps and used forced labour to do all these works.
Here everybody what they thinking I don't nw but I can say here something amazing history behind our present execution once upon a time man has so many powers rt nw he couldn't control him self so may be our education system mis guiding us to destroy our self and one more some people don't about earth but they want go on Mars, here only you don't know anything on the earth then what can you do on the Mars and rt nw we are facing a pandemic situation because of this human living culture and other things changed a lot and somany people died with Corona virus its very sad 😔 and am thinking Corona virus medicine we can get from Ithihasa books so y don't we try to get it from our ancient knowledge
In one video he was explaining that nuclear warheads are real in mahabharat and now he's saying those are undoubtedly fake?
Mahabharata and Ramayana are our Itihas not mythology
Nothing about mahabharata.. in any video y r u mentioning it
He is a fictional author, writing books related to Indian mythology, especially Mahabharatha. this Ted talk is like a publicity for his books.
I have seen all three videos of him and I want to compare him with a 4 year old kid who questions everything . If you are researcher then give answers to us instead of asking us .
He is delucional and dangerous
Couldn't enunciate "enunciate": 16:35
Mahabharata is a story like Illiad and Odesy.Its a story of Bronze age which collapsed at 1500 BC.
And for our wisdom se know that bronze age happened in reality. So it proves MAHABHARAT to be a REALITY
you are not unfolding anything about Mahabharata. Just putting up some questions on to audience. speak on the content-its better for people expecting something to know about mahabharata. Rather explaining about Giant Stones and Some old excavations
He is interesting but he glosses over most of what he is talking about, without explanation.
Sir, if atomic weapons were used during the Mahabharata, then why did the warriors faught riding horses or chariots not using ultra modern vehicles?
There is pukshpakviman mentioned in Ramayan. And who told u they didn’t have modern vehicles. In English we use the word aeroplane but in Sanskrit it is Vimana. Like was the word for Carriage became car in Sanskrit carriage is Ratha.
Excellent talk, probably our ancestors were blessed with super brain, manual power, used the 5 sense s in the best way possible, had divine powers, to do herculean tasks, had eco friendly weapons, more than that they were more closer to nature, stars, sun's and planets, knew them well, that is how we can explain all the construction if astronomical structures, over the years, our brain capacity to think superiirly would have deterioted due to corrupt thoughts and other destructive processes, only a small percentage of human brains who would have still retained those superior intellect, still doing wonderful feats, whom we now term as prodigies and other terms
very unfortunate for not having these supernatural weapons to fight the British or before that the mughals.
We have degenerated from that knowledge based society and thus lost that art, strength.
@@sriharshanamuduri8694 Don't You think they are just feel good stories.The gods were active only in India not globally.Every culture or nations have similar stories.
@@DavidJohnson-lx4rl they were globally but stories are left only here . And divine weapons knowledge was banned for this Yuga as humans are not worthy to posses such weaponry and knowledge .
Even the grandson of Pandavas was not taught this knowledge as he was born in kalyuga .
Read Mahabharata yourself and puranas and know the world history acc to Vedas .
And it was world war not only indian war in which all kings of the world participated .
@@DavidJohnson-lx4rl you LL never understand religion if you see world through a box . Believe me .
@@miller0079 hinduism is not a religion
Very selective presentation of facts. only one tooth of denisovan's was big. Stonehenge has explanations that are plausible.
He will explain all other things except Mahabharata...whr is it dude
Ice is not really cool so plz fear by god bless only
This is not a new subject..
Your activity is no answer
Not decessive talks...content and analysis deliberately not given for reasons unknown. Or sensationalism.
He uses this a lot. I think it’s called appeal to ignorance. A fallacy
he looks like wasim from r2h
This man has multiple TEDx talks with same content. Is that even allowed?
@Saga Star 3 talks
Yes, he always talks about the same topic, and that too without any conclusions.
@@TheAshishashish123 exactly
Uhh know nawthin'
Boss you have fail in your class that time also I know
Tu itna akalmandh hai tho Srinivasa Ramanunjan Iyengar, great mathematician, ka unanswered mathematical problems ka solution bata dhe. Bekaar mein hindus ka sentiment and belief mein dhakal mat diya kar. samjhe ? Pahle apne bible me jitna kot and jhoot hai, usko doond and analyz kar.
Can u please tell what u studied in last 12 yrs...only show pics from NG documentary and tells nothing about Mahabharata....every time come and make a video to waste time...
I have some knowledge on Mahabharat. Vyasa maha muni had written this epic of one lakh 24ooo slokas. the biggest single work in this world. Beyond this his Inhuman tasks are many, Writing Garuda Maha puran almost mahabharat size and another 18 puranas.editing vedas etc. However in Mahabharat he didnot elaborate some secrets. like Arjun conquering all Kautravas in Virataparva or Yakshaprasnas or Burning of Khandavavana ( contact if you think;... bkb1940rao@aol.com)
Why this clown is titling every book and Video as 'Mahabharata' , when he is talking at least 15 minutes of the 18 minutes on ALL OTHER SUBJECTS. Has TED talks (and TH-cam) fallen to such low level?. Pl give his credentials. On all his talks he repeats the same thing. TED and TH-cam must ban his talks urgently
I agree..His talk has nothing to do with Mahabharata..
With all due respect, stop your research, you are going too far, but not touching even the tip of the iceberg.
Waste to hear this.he doesnt know anything about mahabharata.
He keeps talking about Rakshasha in Mahabharat where only two Rakshasha was mentioned in Mahabharat, but doesn't talk about Ramayana and Sri Lanka where everything was about Rakshasha. He is not concerned about the timeframes of Ramayana and Mahabharata. He keeps giving examples of Giant found in Russia, but no archaeological evidence inside India or where Rakshas lived. In fact solving Mahabharata riddles are not that difficult as our history tells us. But this man needs to look into ancient Indian history before commenting on Mahabharata
Pseudo science at its best.
