Just AMAZING! As a jewelry maker, I'd love to recreate those gorgeous ancient adornments! Just incredible how ancient people were in some ways much more creative and skilled than modern people!
This series is usually pretty good, but today's version was amazing; lots of very relatable items, i.e., the Roman hand cream and the Egyptian painter's palette. Love those!
Do you wonder what that face cream was made of? I think it probably included lead and other ingredients that definitely wouldn't be in modern facial cream! 🤔 (But...no man-made chemical additives at least!) Human ingenuity never fails to astound me.
As someone who is born and raised in Nottingham, England. Its amazing to see that that beautiful ring was found in the same Sherwood Forest I've walked through hundreds of times ❤
I'm highly suspicious of it being true, facetting wasn't around then last time I checked. If it's that old, expect a rounded, polished blue blob, not a glittery facetted stone like that
You're being a bit Eurocentric there KAT, Indian semi precious stones show a form of facetting 4000yrs ago and Iranian precious stones from C1100 are clearly facetted.
Very interesting video! My favorite was the cat ring found in Egypt!! I love cats, and the Egyptians used to worship cats. I think some people, who own cats, still do! LOL! ~Janet in Canada
This is for the people who pretend to be educated while complaining about “diversity” in media or books set in the past. We used to travel much more than we think and while we weren’t as diverse as now, things were not as simple as old media portrays. For example there were black citizens in medieval- renaissance Europe, mostly ex slaves or their descendants from AlAndalus (Arabian country in the Iberian peninsula). Some quite successful, Like Juan de Pareja (Velazquez’s servant and later apprentice).
Indeed! A lot of ROMAN CITIZENS were black. Not ex slaves, just people of African areas that had been added and that became citizens, for example (Romans didn't care about skin colour but were more focused on class) and had very successful careers in all fields of Roman society.
@@lindaliriel5346 This was one of the reasons the Empire lasted as long as it did; the Romans came in and conquered, put down any rebellions *harshly* but began providing some of the advantages they gave their citizens very quickly, and made it clear that the populace was better off siding with them than against them (not always true, but tell that to the next generation to be born.) So long as you paid religious lip-service to the current Roman political rulership and religious dieties of the era and you paid your taxes, life could be pretty good. It could be pretty bad, though, if you were in their way and the need for slaves was high; it all depended. People tend to think of the Roman Empire being the same for century upon century, but it changed as much as any other longstanding political/cultural system, and luckily for us it was heavily documented.
Honestly, most people in the West are fine with diversity. It's just drummed up by people in charge to try to divide and distract. Would be cool if people would see past these political games and instead realize we should all band together and look more closely at the people running the country (I don't care what side you're on; I don't trust either. Honestly Democrat vs. Republican is another distraction. So is gay vs. straight. And now vaccinated vs. unvaccinated. They're trying to split us up because they know that we're weak when we fight each other. We're strong when we get along).
I love the bible gun. This has a lot of fascinating things I've never seen before. Thanks for sharing. I'm gonna look up the Aachen after I see this thru. The Baltic sea wrecks are incredible.
History is so much older and technologically advanced than we are led to believe. That Saphir Ring, you would need diamond-tipped power tools to cut and polish it like that I would think. Sapphire is 9 on the Mohs scale just under Diamond.
I think those bison sculptures were done after they killed and ate two bison. They are so well done a hungry person wouldn't have the concentration. Like "man that was a good bison" I'm so full and happy I'm going to make a sculpture.
Really enjoyed these. Almost all of them made for a "Wow!" on my part. I also liked the music, too...I kind of got my groove on while watching the fascinating pics. Great video! .
France really has a lot of archaeological sites, between prehistoric stuff and Roman ruins. I remember visiting Lascaux when I was a kid. I even lived near Vaison-la-Romaine for a while, never visited tho. The bisons sculptures were amazing. I didn't know that Cro Magnon did such huge sculptures, I only knew their wall paintings
Really beautiful items of historical significance, telling a story. Fortunately, I'm good at archaeology, history of medieval times , ancient discoveries., as I couldn't read all of your information as it is under the viewing line on my tv. Anyone else have this?
The tile would have been dried and baked after the footprint was put in it, so clearly they didn't mind! There are a lot of examples of tiles with cat and dog footprints, too.
@@MsSteelphoenix You just put a image in my mind: The toddlers parents, a few months later: "Ohh, look how our child has grown!! Was it not just yesterday as our tile got the footprint?"
I was mushroom hunting once and found a twenty dollar bill that was wind blown into the grass and weeds along a fence line. Looked like it had been there for a long time.
I’m kinda doubtful it’s in a museum if it’s labeled as a toddlers footprint? As someone who works with clay I see something different. I don’t think it’s a footprint at all...it is meant to look like one though.
Back when the church first started you where killed for believing in something that the Roman government didn’t approve of to they had hidden churches.
People from the 1800's were much more skilled craftsmen than we are today, so they don't really belong alongside items from 2000 or 10000 years ago. That being said, I did like the video.
Na-ahh...it's mine!...lol. Gorgeous, isnt it. I'm trying to imagine the size of that sapphire found for it. You never see artwork like that now. Hiw about that gold octopus Samurai helmet? Amazing...stay safe from the Zombie Apocalypse Virus- (C19)
I suggest you check out other paintings throughout history. Every ancient civilization ("nation") , had their own style, much like today. Incredible Byzantine wall paintings, wall frescoes in Pompei and other Roman sites. Such monumental work, when one considers paper hadn't been invented. A very rough form was created in 105AD by a Chinese monk from scraps of rags & fishing nets. It(a form of paoer) reached Europe in the 11th century. It was made if rice starch, but insects found it tasty... monasteries started the use of vellum (made from calf skin) to write & decorate those beautiful books in latin of books in th bible. Sorry. I love archaeology and the history of our world especially how things are made. As a kid I read encyclopedias when chores were done. Yeah, a weird kid & not a great student in school. Stay safe, friend. Watch out for the Zombie Apocalypse Virus- (C19)
German Gunblades, there were more variants and some of them are displayed in vitrines today. I saw them in the armory museum in Hannover. It explained, they were ineffective, but just cool to have it.
Doesn't these items of superb art skill make anyone else wonder where have all the artisans gone... So many people in our world who have done nothing to further our modern day artistic - long lasting skills, What do people DO with their time?
Not at all. Tho' some ancient crafts seem to die out, there are young people who become fascinated & study from old craftspeople or intense research. My sister is a goldsmith - I've met many artisans through her. Also historical recreationists, keeping weaving, blacksmithing and other skills alive. You won't find them in the malls but many showcase on the Web as well as fairs and festivals. I'd note too that the Web is preserving much antique knowledge. And, remember that the majority of past people were not artists or innovators; they were struggling to survive, to feed themselves and family - and often failing.
The 2000 year cosmetic cream is not the oldest one. Several years ago I went to an exhibition of ancient Egyptian jewellery, and there was a pot of cosmetic cream with a burrow where a finger scooped some. It was about 4000 years old.
I swear that humanity has devolved as artists and craftsmen. Look at this samurai octopus helmet, or this veiled Christ sculpture, or this german death sculpture, or this Egyptian cat ring. I mean, we're able to do the same today, but modern art is so boring and unimpressive compared to what our ancestors were able to craft with only few tools and their talent. Nowadays we would probably 3D print tf out of those items lol I'm not sure if we even can reproduce this stuff. Like, the Incan wall and Toledo swords are both lost knowledge for what I know
Anyone else think this was too fast to read and look at everything??? I had to pause the video to give these artifacts some attention, which in this medium will always be less than ideal. Even putting them into full screen mode wasn't doing them anymore justice, although to do that one would have to stand right in front of each piece irl. But now I have at least a list of the things that I have favoured and can look up better pictures of some of these beautiful, fascinating, objects.
The "Michelgeo's statue of Moses" is NOT a statue of Moses!!! See the horns on his head? Why would anyone depict a regular human as having horns on his head? They wouldn't, and there are many other statues around the Vatican that they/the priests/popes Vatican claim are statues of prominent Christian figures when in fact the statues hail from Greek and Roman times and are statues depicting Greek or Roman gods half gods. When Christianity became the prominent religion of the area. The statues were renamed as supposed to be prominent biblical figures. Yes the statue is an awesome piece of art, but it's origin is lied about today and has been for many hundreds of years!!
Those same Catholics in Rome had a Pope who was offended by their penises. He had them chopped off (a total circumcision..lol) and replaced with a sculpted leaf to hide the horror if a weiner. Unbelievable, but what was his problem. I believe it was started in the 17th century by Pope Innocent the X & was continued until Pope Pius the IX in the 19th century, who did most of the damage. 2000 year old plus statues disfigured or completely by some god guy. There has to be a box of marble phalluses in the tombs of the Vatican's "storerooms somewhere! Anyway....just some info for you. Your response was the only intelligent one worth reading. Take care & stay safe from the Zombie Apocalypse Virus- also known as C19.
Islam didn't exist until after Christ but the reason Allah's name could be on a ring that might be that old is because Allah was originally the moon god Baal Allah one of the pegan gods. One of many gods with the name or title Baal.
#nathanhale thanks for the info. I didn't think of the beginning of Islam nor did I know about the Allah portion of Bael but that name did ring a bell in this old brain Your information is wonderful to read. Thanks!

It was lovely. Very well preserved.
We would do well to remember the wisdom and the talents of the people of the past.
There's something hilarious about a 1900+-year-old Beware Of Dog sign
Anyone else lifting their pinky and feeling for the muscle? 😉
Me..both hands 😁
@@alfasud500 Yup; and it was exactly right! 😸
Amazing. Humans have always had incredible skills of ingenuity. Soon the computers and robots will take over.
loved it
hi! have a great day!
Who says they haven’t already, hmmmm?
The art is so much more beautiful than what people create now. Those marble sculptures are amazing.
I love looking at artifacts. The older the better!
Agreed. That prehistoric shelter made of mammoth bones just blew me away! Our ancesters didn't waste ANYTHING!

I've never seen or heard of most of these objects and structures before. Incredible finds!!
History is so much older and technologically advanced than we are led to believe. That Saphir Ring, you would need diamond-tipped power tools to cut and polish it like that I would think. Sapphire is 9 on the Mohs scale just under Diamond.
They didn't have electric power tools but probably had very efficient mechanical grinding tools.
I think those bison sculptures were done after they killed and ate two bison. They are so well done a hungry person wouldn't have the concentration. Like "man that was a good bison" I'm so full and happy I'm going to make a sculpture.

Sculptures are superb
So wonderfully amazing! Thank you for such an inspiring video.
That old pair of Levi’s looks like they have a store tag on it. Probably just an identifier for museum purposes.
Proof that the only thing humanity has going for it is our ability to build stuff/invent.
This one was really amazing!
I thought I had seen everything but this was a lot of new stuff!! Pretty amazing
The thing with the ring automatically made me think of ‘The 13th Warrior’...

Since ancient times were rough, I hope, that the toddler did not got in troubble for the foot imprint!

Amazing photos and information!! Thank you. 👍🏻
7:21 - an unimaginable, ungodly level of pain...
Love the jeans.
I want that cat ring! 🤪❤️🤪
Very good.
4:57 Now that we have lab grown sapphires and other gemstones, these beautiful rings could be economically made again. Beautiful!
Lots of cool stuff seems to be found by people looking for mushrooms. Maybe I should start looking for mushrooms and see what turns up!
Magic?!
I was mushroom hunting once and found a twenty dollar bill that was wind blown into the grass and weeds along a fence line. Looked like it had been there for a long time.
1:40 ...... they even had crazy cat people in Egyptian times ... lmao 🤣
2:23 is a look I want to own now in the present
That will give me interesting dreams, thank you very much :-)
YES V NICE .
"Cave Canem" means "Beware of the dog" OR "Beware I am going to sing" :-D
Where did you find the source of the toddler footprint photo? Is it in a museum somewhere?
I’m kinda doubtful it’s in a museum if it’s labeled as a toddlers footprint? As someone who works with clay I see something different. I don’t think it’s a footprint at all...it is meant to look like one though.
Best video yet, reminds me of national geographic LTE.
Who the heck decides "Let's build a church a few thousand meters up a cliff!" and who the heck decides "Yeah, I want that construction job!" !?
Back when the church first started you where killed for believing in something that the Roman government didn’t approve of to they had hidden churches.
@@jainaelliott5008 No way! That's so cool! These people definitely win the gold metal of hidden churches! lol

who are these people that don't know how to take a photo with a cell phone??
Is it just a lighting trick or does that room on the shipwreck at 7:09 somehow still have an air pocket?
I think its the lighting. I'm not a photo expert, so I could be wrong.
7:24 no, the patient did not survive!
Videos content is great but the music kills it
southampton UK has a mecanical clock from 1320, though Prauges is far more impresive
which subreddit is this from?
Loved the pictures, but had to mute to watch. The music was really annoying and didn’t mesh at all with the subject.
Do we need the noise?
Idk about the muscle one. I hardly see it when I lift my pinky. I see it when I lift my ring finger and/or my middle finger.
