WOW ,,

New subscriber here ❤️ i'm very glad my utube thingy showed me your channel when i clicked on history!! 17 min in and, yep... i'm hooked 😁 loved the interview, very cool re. new technology joining in to make archaeology & history more & more grounded in facts!!!

Your expressions are just like mine when I watch this show. I find that after a while I'm screaming at the TV. I have to remember that this show is not about seeking the truth. It's about getting viewers.

Спасибо!

First things first: Congratulations and all the best with your baby & leave. If this is your first, I hope you figure out how to get some sleep! Also thanks for preparing stuff ahead of time. (And the comment I wanted to write before you mentioned going on maternity leave was, just as a heads up, that I for one initially thought I probably shouldn’t take you too seriously when you noted your “years of experience”. I know you didn’t say “decades”, and maybe you look younger than you are, but yeah, at least for me, such a statement from a person who looks too young to have years of experience doesn’t inspire immediate trust. Maybe I’m wrong in my automatic interpretation of that expression to mean at least one decade, maybe you have more than a decade of experience in this area, maybe other people hear this as being factually correct given at least two years…. I dunno, just wondering if there may be other ways to express that you know what you’re taking about which doesn’t raise such doubts, in case this applies to other viewers as well. Because I get the impression that many people tend to move on to another video much sooner than I do.)

Unraveling the Tangle of Mysteries

It's a great show. Some of the jokes in the comment section are sub par but that's not your fault.

6:16 I could count the squares on a table cloth and claim it's a calendar too lol

2:20 congrats on the baby!

I don't trust Dr. Sweatman very much since seeing Dr.Milano's video debunking his hypothesis 🤔

Subscribed and congratulations!

An engineer is submitting ideas? Please,, the last thing we need is an interdisciplinary approach. There are archeologists still digging at Goblekli Tepe? I thought all the jobs were in expanding the orchard. Flint Dibble? lol You and I live in different universes Rachel but I still like and respect you. No one will ever say we create an echo chamber for each other. The odds that a glacier made Stonehenge are really low but it is still my go to theory. Wait spaceships are on the table for transportation method? Nice, I'll go spaceship, but why do I feel like this is a trap? A stunning and brave grave from the most isolated hill in Dartmoor, sealed with a Cist? The cult of water... hydroculture? We seem to be heading back to a logo syllabic language, soon emojis will be taught in school. Or are they technically pictographs or hieroglyphs? So the Ancient Sumerians also texted about eclipses, some things never change. Its really hard to find a quality omen nowadays, they just don't make them like they used to. The Indian pipeline is smaller than I imagined. Ruffled water was Ancient Mayan slang for beer, allegedly., that is actually the Mountain of the Beer. Breaking news, this just in, archeologists have discovered another tomb. A sixteen billion pound treasure? They are going to need a really big crane to move that. My favorite story, thank you for asking, is the discovery that the Altar stone of Stonehenge came from Scotland. I'm guessing the perfume will lose something in the translation. Caesar smelled like anchovies, garlic and really good wine. Or, Caesar smelled like the wives of his enemies (too dark?) Great job , Rachel! I hope my attempts at humor were not too triggering because like my mother always told me, If you can't be smart and knowledgeable... be funny.

Hi, what is the blue-greenish book to the right of the blue Darville "Prehistoric Britain" book on the bottom shelf? Thanks!

I wish you a safe delivery and a happy time adapting to the newcomer! Sorry if it sounds weird but English is not my primary laguage 😆

Great episode.⛏

Just thinking about the 6 ton Stonehenge stone... if it was brought by ship... there might be other stones in the ocean. I can't imagine it was just a "one-off"...

dating thealter stone? the only date you can get from this is the age of the rock ie when it became a stone and not any date as regards when it was quarried or placed at stonehedge....Jh

Great live stream.

Thanks for posting. The renewal of Dr Sweatmans paper is surprising. A rebuttal on the original paper was shown on the World of Antiquity channel. It was amusing to see the back and forth between Dr M and Dr Sweatman.

Flint Dribble is a Southpark Character, He cooked his data in the "debate" on JRE and I'm astounded that anyone takes him seriously much less lifts him up as anything other then what he is, and academic gatekeeper.

I'd curb your enthusiasm for 'Scottish Stonehenge'. Extraordinary claims require extraordinarily strong evidence and this Nature paper isn't that and far from a definitive study. The authors of the 'Nature' paper did absolutely no fieldwork. The Stonehenge fragments came from 19 C museum donations; they seem to have obtained their 'source rock' samples from a Yorkshire crystal shop with no idea about detailed facies or lithology. More alarming is that they did absolutely no comparable work as a control to test whether supposedly Laurentian-sourced material is found anywhere else in the 1,000s sq km of ORS outside the Orcadian Basin. That's before a N Sea glacial train transport is considered. This isn't geology, it's clever lab tech work nor is it archaeology, more a desperate attempt to shore up the 'human transport' and ever more ludicrous S'henge team's Unified Ancient Britain hypotheses.

Fab to hear from one of the researchers himself about the Altar Stone - I was born a couple of miles from Stonehenge and grew up there in the 60s/70s so I can remember sitting on the stones as a kid. I live on the west coast Scotland now and love how these distant places are connected. Funny enough I’m currently writing a novel concerning a woman conceived in Scotland but who ends up at Stonehenge (fantasy rather than historical) - specifically around the Durrington Walls area as my family home looks out across there… so I follow with interest.

I love watching your videos

Great talking to you! The intersection of geology and archaeology is fascinating 😀

The Stonehenge altar stone is probably my favourite because it illustrates the interlinked nature of society on the island of Britain at this time. Regardless of how it made it's way down south there must have been some connections between the different communities. Good luck with your maternity leave and I look forward to the return of the news videos in January. That is unless archaeologists could send you on their big discoveries now😉

I find it fascinating that practically everything I was taught as a kid about history has massively changed due to all of these discoveries.

Very interesting interview.

Using the geochronology techniques it would be interesting to go through the stone artifacts from a particular site and identify the quarries the stone came from. I expect that there would be some cases of stone being transported a somewhat surprising distance....

If it amuses you to do a "baby-related topic" you could do "cool baby names from Archeology". I am sure there are lots of somewhat nifty 'people in the past' and/or 'past of archeology' whose names 'should' continue on, however it amuses you to define those characteristics.

That was good. Thanks.

Since you have no time to get into it, you can watch Dr. Sweatman's videos where he goes over every peer review paper of the space fall proxies. Personally, I don't like his ideas of Pillar 43. The Tas Tepeler Culture beyond certainty venerated the radiant of The Taurid Meteor Stream, the causation of those space proxies, the "calendar" is The Ancient New Year when crossing the nighttime stream, as was, Halloween, the same stream. It is The Five Unlucky days of The WHITE Feathered Serpent from The Pleiades at the exact same time with oceans of isolation. Block me, and then tell people you are telling the truth!

🎉🎉

❤❤❤

I found it hilarious that American wokeists attack not only religion but also paleoastronautics nowadays, accusing the latter of being racist/white-centric. Have you never heard about any book on ancient aliens and their potential involvement in the history of ancient Greece, Vikings, Celts and Romans? Besides, about alien inspiration on scientists? Such books do exist. You just don't want to know about them because it would affect your wokeist comfort. Besides, I am not a native English speaker but it doesn't mean that I can come to terms with someone's repeating "like" all the time and claiming to be educated - both in the same time...

Let's listen)

Where are the real things!?

Such a cool stratigraphy model

What's new will it bring?

Ahhh!.., you're just a kid..you don't know nothing

Hey, I like your new "Inside Archaeology" logo! The tool as the "A"; great!!

Whoa there, us 'Aliens' originate from the Bostock area of Africa. We don't like how you discount our shared history. We built a lot of your Cyclopian buildings and walls before heading out into space. You have managed to dress up a lot of the old structures with additional work, some good, some ok. A lot of us left around 12,000 to 8,000 BC to go explore and escape the incoming asteroid storm caused by the passing of Scholtz's Star. That was a mess indeed wiping out the American culture of the time. Atlantis was one of our last outposts before we vacated to the Antarctica bases. One of those rogue asteroids sent a wave over North Africa causing much of our decedent's displacement. They passed on their knowledge as best they could before going underground to the Egyptians, Chinese, Indigenous Americans, Indians, and those lost people of Sumer. All though we've lost the need for melatonin and burn terribly, we are closest genetically to Mid-Eastern Africans. So yes, we built the foundation of your culture mostly before we became astronauts. We are coming back. - Your friends, Ancient Aliens from Africa, the Greys.

👍

2:26 Glad you got the audio sorted out. I was beginning to wonder if only the recording was affected, and the whole video would be ‘no commentary unless you can lip-read’. 6:52 Nicely done. I’ve seen some Let’s Players have so much trouble with that Medi Pack, they concluded that it couldn’t be collected and was just there as bait in a trap. 11:11 That was lucky. The more conventional approach is to hang from the edge of the lava pit and let the boulder’s momentum carry it beyond Lara, but you’ve just discovered a much less hazardous solution. Good work. 14:52 I have no idea of the overall average, but console versions of the game used a save crystal system, so you had a maximum of 86 saves over the course of the entire game, and could only save in specific locations. This feature is absent from the PC version and remaster, but the remaster includes a trophy for completing the game without saving more than 86 times. Another RUclipsr I follow is a little behind you in playing the remaster, and has averaged 10 saves per level for the first 10 levels. That average may increase significantly in the final few levels, of course. 19:07 Lara can do a dive. It covers a little more distance than a standing jump, but not as much as a running one. Most of the time it’s just a show-offy manoeuvre, but occasionally (like here) it is the best way of targeting a jump that needs to be pretty precise. To do it, you stand on the edge, and jump forwards while holding down the ‘walk’ control. In one of the game’s concessions to reality, diving onto solid ground tends to have lethal consequences, so if you want to try and practice the trick for the times that it comes in handy, only attempt it when you have access to a body of water deep enough to swim in. 22:41 You do need to be at least vaguely facing in the direction of the target for the auto-aim to work. Well, I guess Lara _could_ hold the guns inverted above her shoulders, pointing behind her, but that would definitely be in the realm of ‘somebody in Hollywood thinks this looks badass, but really it’s just impractical and silly’. 27:16 Yes, Natla only manages to revive the once. Some of the end bosses in later games can be more tiresomely persistent. 48:05 I think everyone who’s ever played this game remembers locking the butler in the freezer. The remaster includes a little Easter egg for anyone who locks him in, and then comes back later to check on him. 59:02 There is a shorter route through the maze. While the turning you passed at 58:08, does initially take you away from the entrance, in the long run it can take you to the exit in a shorter distance and with fewer corners. 1:00:36 The first two levels of ‘Unfinished Business’ are set between the end of The Great Pyramid and the final cutscene (in the remaster, at least - originally executives insisted on reordering the levels to put the easier ones first, which is understandable from a gameplay perspective but messes with the narrative). 1:01:39 The plot of ‘Unfinished Business’ can be boiled down to ‘Lara experiences more dangers in the course of her escape from Atlantis, and then travels back to Egypt to follow up a lead she spotted while there in search of the Scion (but didn’t get an opportunity to investigate on account of being ambushed by Natla and her goons), which takes her into a long-lost temple to Bastet.' 1:04:33 ‘Golden Mask’, on the other hand, is completely unrelated to the plot of the second game (though it does imply an answer to a question possibly raised by the final level of Tomb Raider II). 1:06:36 Once you’ve completed the game, you have the option of going back and playing it again with added difficulty. Less healing, and limited saves, but you do have all weapons from the outset and can change Lara’s costume, AIUI. Congratulations on beating the first game. I hope all goes well with the birth and adjusting to the changes that parenthood brings to everyday life.

For goodness sake, too much blah.

Yeah, St. Francis Folly monastery is fictional and said to be inspired by Meteora in Greece but photo they show during loading screen is similar to Katskhi Pillar in Georgia. Good video, looking forward to you making one on TR2 and 3. The Last Revelation is the first one they actually hired proper consultants so it's interesting how that stacks up, so far it seems far less accurate than Assassin's Creed Origins.

I was more surprised to find Vilcabamba is a real place than anything))) And yeah they put Mexican stuff into Peru, even the giant face imprint in the first level third secret. AND the animals are not local either, so it's not just Greece. Should have really put monkeys and lions into Egypt and moved wolves and bears to Europe.

The Atlantean Pillars have nothing to do with Atlantis, even in name. They are actually named after Atlas from Greek mythology because they are statues/columns that appear to hold up the top of the building much like how Atlas was said to hold up the Earth.

@InsideArchaeology One book you might like is "Description de l'Egypte", {Description of Egypt} by Taschen from 2002, a 1,007 page book. ISBN: 9783822821688 it is a collection of all the illustrated plates that appeared in the French multi-volume book series 'Description De L' Egypte'. It goes to the original source drawings, and several are in full color. There is an introduction in French, English, and German. While the rest of the book only has French captions for each page, and the items on that page/plate. Also in the introduction are several paintings, and drawings representing the battles of the French army in Egypt. It includes over 1000 illustrations of scenery, monuments, antique items, animals, mummies, rocks, plants and the (then) modern Egypt. The illustrations along the side are usually numbered with details that would have been described in the original volumes. Since the book is rather small for a art book, many of the finer two page illustrations will need a magnifying lens to see them clearly. Many of the illustrations are copies of paintings and engravings on temple and monument walls, while others are details scenes in near photographic style realistic illustrations, floor plans and even aerial drawings. Conception and text: Gilles Neret, Cover design: Angelika Taschen, English translation: Chris Miller, German translation: Bettina Blumenberg. Another great book series I like about Egypt is the "Epigraphic Survey" by the University of Chicago's Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures. Their website has 20 of the books in the series free to download, in their 'publications' section. They had blueprint style maps of sites, and photograph/illustrations of texts on the walls, along with transcriptions of the text translated into English. I always enjoyed that type of stuff, even before Lara Croft and the Tomb Raiders games came out.

Very interesting, well put together, Sutton Hoo is always been a fascination to me and not far from my house

Please go through and review Jean M. Auel's books such as Valley of the Horses to compare to what is out there in the actual capable world. I get the movie hits a large audience angle, the game not so much but somewhat, but to consider Tombs of the Last Arc to be researched is quite a stretch really. The difference between science fantasy and science fiction comes to mind. I sound more critical than I mean. It is a valid opportunity for you to present actual clues that have found. But i seriously would like to see you do the same for a real work such as Auel's, but many others too. I do think, with my limited knowledge, Auel paints a credible picture. And is written readable and entertaining to a level the best movie or game simply could never be. Later: I may have got the game/movie name wrong, but they are all the same.
