Ah lol! That sultry, British voice telling you to "wrap your vitamins in aluminum foil before you visit a gym" (Cus his accent while saying some ov those words...in case it was not obvious, but maybe that is just for my American ears?)
TopTenz In pronouncing 'MesoAmerican' there is no long 'E' and no 'Z' sound! By the way, you didn't mention the mysterious Vincan Culture that thrived in Southeastern Europe about 6000BC
Any civilization that thrives long enough to settle into a peaceful society is inevitably destroyed by primal warlike tribes that find it easier to destroy than to create.
What about the Mississippian Trade Confederation? A hundred years before Columbus, the center of the US was dominated by a widespread mound-building culture with advanced defenses, recurve bows and widespread trade. By the time of the Pilgrims, they'd disappeared so completely that even their descendants didn't remember them.
CasualNotice We know what happened to them. It’s not polite to talk about the Iroquois speakers who wiped out most of the people living between the Appalachian and the Mississippi.
I hate that! Such a stupid answer. And lazy! Anyone with a brain can see all that we have accomplished so far and I am sure our species had risen & fallen more that a couple times. Makes much more sense that thinking some "advanced" race came and built very fancy, yet primitive, earthen & stone mega structures and monoliths. We are far more clever than most would believe. And I think evidence ov an alien species would/should still be around. Could be wrong but only death will prove that(and even That is not certain)
Khmer civilization did not disappear, they were simply defeated and subjugated by Thais and Vietnamese on a rotating basis and then the French. The so called lost city that was Ankor Wat was in reality never lost, it was abandoned due to its proximity to Thailand making it easy vulnerable from attacks. The Cambodians knows about it, its just that the French dude didn't bother to ask.
I’m not an “ internet expert “ and I’m not trying to be “annoying “ but I am half Thai half Khmer. What muic4880 says is correct. I mean...it’s our history after all.
@@reh3884 Yeah, the ones who are the most annoying are the ones who think that delivering a few lines of correction means anyone can just "write a WHOLE book" on a subject.
The Clovis culture were big game specialists who thrived in the open plains. During the warm period, forests expanded and the culture fragmented and developed separately. Game extinction was also a big problem.
The Clovis folks weren't a civilization, they were hunter gatherers. Also, now known not to have been the first North Americans. Stone tool sites over 100,000 years old have been found in California.
The Myceneans were defeated by the Dorians. That happened from 1100 to 900 BC. The Myceneans were not destroyed by the "sea peoples" because they probably were the sea peoples (at least according to some theories).
Finally, someone mentioned the Clovis! I grew up outside of the city they were named after in New Mexico. I always thought it incredible that such a huge find draws so few people to the Blackwater Draw museum Edit: I've also stood in the tallest cliff home at Bandaleer
ON THE MINOANS: There were two written languages used in the Minoan culture. Linear B is an early form of Greek. Linear A represents an unknown language.
You're right. The Mycenaeans basically took over Minoan culture, and adapted the Minoan writing system (Linear A) to their own Greek dialect (Linear B).
I don't know where you got your facts about the Myceneans, but they're quite wrong. I was born and raised less than 10 miles from Mycenea. The area is fertile. so there is no problem there. It's low on iron, but other minerals were plentiful at the time. The theory about being invaded by the Dorians and the Sea People is partly correct. They were invaded, conquered and intergrated by the Dorians. The intergration was so complete, that the Dorians adopted the Mycenean pantheon. They couldn't be invaded by the "Sea People", because they were the Sea People. They earned that name by invading Crete and other Greek Islands. Also, the Minoans did "speak" on Linear A' or B'. That was the written language. They're spoken language is speculated to be similar to Ancient Greek, but we cannot be sure.
I just love how people cite climate change as the end of an ancient culture but then maintain that heavy taxes, regulation and government control over every aspect of one's life can stop it. Religion is crazy.
Minoans/Mycenaean's both escaped a cataclysmic event that caused them to flee into different places of the world. A group landed in the southwestern banks of Palestine/Israel. They became the group known as the Philistines. Years later came, what we know of as the Jews, founded two cities of Judea and Samaria. Judea ended up fighting with the Philistines and eventually defeated them, and assimilated them to their empires. The Philistines were wiped out, but with years of breeding with the Judeans/Samarians. Just a theory I read about, while looking up a controversial subject, involving another controversial subject.
And I thought they were the Phoenicians, referred to as the Philistines by Hebrew History. Covetness of their Culture, Trade Routes. They were a successful Shipping, Mariner people.
@@jeffreyknickman5559 Whatever the revisionism of history is and who benifits from that is something else. Phoenecians are Phoenicians. A real culture with heavy large cargo boats that did a lot of trade and shipping cargo for many known "Countries". Phoenicia known as Lebonon today. Another Ancient Phoenician territory was Carthage. In Northern Africa.
Dear Simon, you're awesome :) Anymore, I automatically like your videos while they're still loading because they're interesting as f. I'm actually not joking. Please know that you and your videos are greatly appreciated 😊 💚🍀☘️💚😉
8:34 Early Minoans *wrote* in a script we call Linear A (later Linear B). We don't know what the spoken language sounded like, or how the Linears related to it.
random fact: Azasazi is not a proper name. I was a name given by the current tribal groups and roughly translates "our ancestor's enemy. No one knows their proper name.
Isnt that the case for all ancient civilizations? History written by the winners and who has any idea how mesopotamians actually pronounced their name?
Mycanea's collapse was the result of the bronze age collapse and they were likely the first of the major civilizations to fall because the fall, precipitated by famine, migration war, natural disasters and possibly plague, saw a breakdown of the intricate trade/diplomatic infrastructure that made the bronze age civilizations great. And since Mycanea was entirely reliant on trade for bronze, it's sensible they went out first.
People keep asking about the Maya. They never disappeared. Like the Cherokee or Apache etc. they were conquered by invaders (the Spanish in this case) but they are still there in southern Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Belize and El Salvador.
The Nabateans moved because the southern trade shifted to the sea and the northern trade bypassed them because they’d imposed such a big price hike on goods that other routes were worth developing. The new route completely bypassed the settlements of the Red Sea area, like where Mecca would eventually be-Mecca was a dead-end backwater in Muhammad’s time, as it was ever after economically though not religiously, important only to locals.
Sea levels were lower back then because more water was in glaciers as ice. This is also the reason people were able to migrate from Siberia into the Americas.
wow - come here from 2019 - Simon - everything is different - not better or worse - just different - not even the glasses or beard - more the voice - body movements...

Note on the Minoans, the Santorini eruption on Thera was a full 200 years before the fall proper of the Minoans and they only had minor colonies on the island, not hardly enough of a damage to the main populace to cause the fall of the whole thing, the advent of Linear B as well as the exportation of nearly identical artifacts by the Mycenaeans suggests a cultural exchange that became an economic rivalry for similar markets, and since none of the Minoan palaces had any walls, they were easy targets to remove through warfare.

clovis was 10,000 to 11,000 years ago but there is evidence that there were people there before the earliest recognized clovis settlement site the latest one being 14,000 years old that was found in Canada British Colombia.
Having been to Petra one should take note, is was not a city. Each of the buildings are very shallow, the insides are far to small for anyone to inhabit.
"And We Have Destroyed generations before you when they did wrong, their messengers came to them with clear signs, but they would not believe, and so do We Requite those criminals. Then We have Made you successors in the land after them to See how ye would behave" "Have not they seen how many generations before them We Have destroyed, We Have Given them the means to domesticate the land that we Have not Given you, and We Have Sent the rain in abundance on them, and We Have Caused rivers to flow beneath them, yet We Have Destroyed them for their sins, and We Have Raised after them other generations." "And how many generations We Have Destroyed after Nooh (Noah), and enough is thy LORD to Note and to See the sins of His slaves." In the future our modern global civilisation may also come to an abrupt end.... I always sense a connection between History/Science and Religion....
The Sea Peoples most definitely were responsible for the fall of Mycena Greece.. and we don't know where they migrated from... I've heard theories that they were from the Sardina region and were probably a coalition of peoples from many different places.. Possibly even Trojans..
What about the Teotihuacan culture of Mesoamerica? The so called Aztecs, who actually called themselves the Mexica, discovered the great buildings of a civilization that had ceased to be..... centuries before. The Mexica named the city Teotihuacan, a Nahuatl word meaning "Birthplace of the Gods".....but to this day no one knows who the people were that built this city civilization, or what It's name was originally called....Mexico's greatest mystery
Before Indus civilization a biggest civilization was untold which was in Indian Ocean and south of India ,probably that was the oldest civilization in the world ,unfortunately Indian govt doesn't want to dig it out ...
Great video. A curious fact about the Indus valley civilization is that some of their ruins are radioactive and the one at MohanJodaro seems to have been wiped out in a cataclysmic event- Alien invasion speculations ;)
Its prounounced Meh-so/Mehs-oh not Me-Zo Sorry had to correct that, I lived in Panama in Central America for a few years and they always pronounced it Meh-soh/Mehs-oh
