Imagining a 2000 mile journey in a double canoe, headed to an unknown island dotting a vast ocean. Now we do too much of our exploring in cyberspace. Thanks for uploading these vintage videos. I see that Alan Ziegler has been dead twenty years. RIP.
Imagine a world with WAY LOWER sea level EVERYWHERE and how much shorter these journeys could have been and the ocean has covered or wiped out all trace of predominantly woodworking peoples.

This is an amazingly produced documentary covering an amazing breadth of history. A topic I've long be interested in is the very early maritime migrations of polynesians and melanesians. It's amazing to think of them navigating oceans in dugouts to remote islands. As well as the voyages of the great Zheng He and the other remarkable seafaring accomplishments this is a great documentary.
@@samuelj2408 Tell that to the people who die out there all the time. They may say differently, or maybe they would if they weren't dead. I wouldn't put too much faith in our domination of space either. Sounds like you've taken Star Trek way too seriously.
@@LuisCypher4666 Man dieing doesn't mean he hasn't conquered something. Man always dies and their children go further. (Or that is how it used to work.) That being said, I don't believe man has conquered the ocean considering how much of it is unexplored.
@@samuelj2408we have not conquered space or the ocean we navigate both with respect and we are still in crawling phase of space travel compared to what is possible. You can’t conquer the ocean you can use skill and knowledge to be as safe as possible but there will always be risk of disaster.
@@rheinhardtgrafvonthiesenha8185 How ignorant of me, right? lolol But no, nor am I interested in watching a bunch of rednecks talk about how they’re finding Bigfoot haha
@@rheinhardtgrafvonthiesenha8185 Darn, such an interesting topic 🤮 lol I didn’t like the first episode of that show… I assume the next 638 were equally as terrible lol
yo im watching this because i have a theory, ancient nephilim giants were the Maori seafarers who had an extensive coastal civilization that spawned the stories atlantis, sea peoples, carthage, pheonicia... etc. They went around in boats and controlled the world. how far back though? we have human ancestors stretching 3million years. Maybe all of this stuff happened independently, like homo sapien occured via evolution and changing climate and these various groups who were disconnected via the changing climate ~15KYA. Then we get all these stories ebcause different groups of humans were more hostile to each other than a lion in the wilderness... So we get all these stories of ancient battle as all these peoples inland settled and took over the seafarers places. It is incredible really. but now im gonna watch this and see if im on the right track. We really are not original and we all just do what the environment makes us and our genetic instructions. Gosh i wish i could hold a cohesive thought long enough to type it out. But i guess this would be 900 pages isntead of a paragraph
The narrator sounds like William B. Davis aka "The Cigarette-Smoking (Cancer) Man" of X-Files fame... I know Gillian Anderson has done some documentary voice over work, but I didn't know if Davis ever did...
Did someone flip the video? Why is he writing left to right? I thought Asian writings were all right to left? Are there some variations due to Western influence? 2:15:11
I tried I really did but oh my lord is this a piece of garbage everywhere I went it was more garbage worst documentary ever made about the subject you should have titled it hey we took pictures of all the slummy ports in the world and we talk softly
The ocean continues to take lives every year. That which is larger than us can never be conquered, only momentarily overcome. That is like an ant proclaiming "I have conquered the forest!" because he has traversed a web of tree roots. Also, too long didn't watch.

Somehow I was dreaming about maritime history then I woke up to this. It’s very good I will say.

It at least attests the false belief and/or claims about those people(s) being indigenous to lands in which they currently live.
Crazy how these guys did all this work and y’all are hating
Thank you for upload

Wow,love this!
Quality sleep tonic right here.. 😴 💤💤..
Man has conquered the ocean? Last I heard, the ocean still has the upper hand.
Don't be obtuse, man has in fact conquered the oceans, hell man has conquered space travel.

@@LuisCypher4666 people die on land way more then on water, does that mean we have not conquered land travel? you are as dense as a rock.

Nice 1, a good listen while resting
fart doc omg zzzzzzzzz time
You never really conquer an ocean or the seas and occasionally it will let you know it. They allow you to pass if you are lucky ❤
I'd love to know more about the people and their boats, that sailed 40 000 years ago!
Finally! Some more ancient history! This is cool, great topic!
You mean you’re not interested in how aliens built the pyramids lol

As far as humans are able to navigate and inhabit even her fiercest waters. A victory in every sense of the word.
