      I love your channel so much. But can you please stick to actual recorded history?
      There is no evidence that the Earth is older than about 6,000 years old.
      And recorded history only goes back to about 4,000 years ago, so any "history" before that is pure conjecture.

I bought three kilos of each and brought them back to share with my Airbnb host/roommates in Ramallah.

    It's so refreshing to watch videos like this in that it describes what evidence has been found. Though there are many gaps in the historical record, one thing is clear....people have been here for a very, very long time.
    I also appreciate the fact that the producers of this video chose not to suggest that "ancient aliens" were partly responsible for man's development and knowledge. I'm so sick of hearing how aliens came here and began all this, then left.

      Keep in mind that the aliens would have been coming here for millions of years, not just thousands. Or never if thats your belief. My thing is that what were humans doing for the last 200,00 or 500,000 years? Why would they have not been building many at least rudimentary structures with stones by 50,000 years ago. Just found out they were building with wood 500,000 years ago. They would have noticed apes communicating and tried to figure out how to talk with sign language at least.

    A few facts from the Bible that might help shed some light; The first battle after the crossing of the Jordan was the Battle of Jericho. Joshua led the destruction of Jericho, then moved on to Ai, a small neighboring city to the west. However, they were defeated with thirty-six Israelite deaths. The defeat was attributed to Achan taking an "accursed thing" from Jericho; and was followed by Achan and his family and animals being stoned to death to restore God's favor. Joshua then went to defeat Ai.
    The Israelites faced an alliance of five Amorite kings from Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon. At Gibeon, Joshua asked the LORD to cause the sun and moon to stand still, so that he could finish the battle in daylight. According to the text, the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day. This event is most notable because "There has been no day like it before or since, when the LORD heeded the voice of a man, for the Lord fought for Israel."[36] The LORD also fought for the Israelites in this battle, for he hurled huge hailstones from the sky which killed more Canaanites than those which the Israelites slaughtered. From there on, Joshua was able to lead the Israelites to several victories, securing much of the land of Canaan. He presided over the Israelite gatherings at Gilgal and Shiloh which allocated land to the tribes of Israel (Joshua 14:1-5 and 18:1-10), and the Israelites rewarded him with the Ephraimite city of Timnath-heres or Timnath-serah, where he settled (Joshua 19:50).

I would think contemporaneously written history would be more likely to be "accurate", but context/bias still matters. The bible on the other hand is more a message or a guide to a way of living than a "history". Whether or not it is the "literal" word of God depends a lot on what you mean by that, which books/versions/translations you are referring to and who "interprets" the translation.

    The Mitanni had Hindic mercenaries who later took over judging by royal names. These were the introducers of chariots to the region. Anatolia knew horses, but they hadn't been domesticated and their vehicles were from Sumeria. Oxen and donkeys were domesticated in the fertile crescent long before horses, and wagons/carts spread from there to Anatolia and the steppes seperately.

      No, it's not crazy. It is simply worthy of note. This then prompts the question, "How did it come about?" There can then be possible explanations which can be supported or contradicted by evidence. Saying "It's crazy!" adds nothing useful to the discussion or the quest for knowledge. Hyperbole militates against learning, and I urge you not to engage in it.

    The tower suggests that there were hostile attacks from other tribes and to build a tower like that means to me that these attacks were large in numbers of people. There must be other sights were these people came from and it would be great if they were found. Thanks for a fantastic video.

      you could say the same about modern history: we just recently found some concrete proof that the Ottomans ordered the execution of Greeks and Armenians during the genocides and it's only been recently that we discovered proof that the Soviets killed 1.5-10 million Ukrainians during the Holodomor, and they're still finding more proof that it wasn't an accident as was claimed, and they're still finding the mass graves (hence why it says 1.5 to 10 million).
