    I am so glad David Adams is back. He is a true traveller, respectful, humble, kind; and through the way he presents- with passion, humility and clarity he has earned my admiration. Thank you David for your work and ability to convey the feeling of faraway lands and choosing this territory is a great step to unknown. ❤

    Finally someone shedding light and taking into account what was said in the ancient texts. It baffles me that modern archaeologists and historians pay no attention whatsoever to what was already found and lost. I have been reading plato and plutarch and it seems almost obvious to me that the greeks go way back than 10.000BC, all this mythological history has a base, and with modern day technology we should be able to find what was once lost to time.

      It is fascinating to me also. History does not skip from people to people over time like stones being dropped in sand one people then the next then the next. It grows organically one people becoming the next. Of course they would write and have oral histories of the peoples who came before. Of course this information would be passed down and become legends or mythologies. Yes it is true that they have become warped over time but that does not mean that they lack value. If there are resources saying that something was going on in the far past in such and such a place and time, it seems only sensible to me to investigate. Especially if ancient resources back that claim.

    I find this whole concept fascinating. The ancient sources speak of the importance of Alexander's navy in his push East but I have often wondered why a navy sailing basically off the Indian Ocean coast of Iran could do much. This explain how and makes me wonder how much trekking enormous distances Alexander actually did. I would love to understand how this enormous climate change took place in that area. Excellent documentary.

      Same place it always has: conversion into ice. The Earth undergoes regular cycles, between interglacial, & glacial periods.
      Contrary to what the academics, controlling the mainstream narrative, would have you believe, we are heading back into a glacial period: which equals colder temperatures. The imminent breakdown of the AMOC, Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, & the ocean gyres, which direct colder currents, from the poles, towards the equatorial regions, support this hypothesis.

    Oxus is Greek for ''oxen'' (ox) and the naming of the river symbolizes its might, power, and importance for civilization just as the animal, was and still is to some forgotten by time areas...
    the bottom line of the doc, is that ''climate change'' is as natural as weather is... the climate is constantly evolving, changing to numerous parameters...
    I don't know if the Argonautes went so far East... but the fact that a so important river has a Greek name shows something... after all the Greeks were always about trading, exchanging, and enriching through trade... not conquering territories and enslaving peoples... that's not us! that's not our legacy to the world!

      @theflame5919 11 месяцев назад +11

      In those ancient times, during Alexander, there was no Greece. It's a simplification. Back then, what we call Greece now, was some 500 independent City states, or 500 countries, all sovereign states. Where was a common Greek identity, and culture, but no unified Greek state. Macedonia, was one of the largest and most powerful of all those, fallowing catastrophic Peloponnesian war, which diminished the power of Athens and Sparta, and their respective allies.

      Alexander the Great was from Macedonia which was part of Greece (and even to that day is a part of Greece), much in the same way that Thrace is a part of Greece, much in the same way the the Ionian islands are part of Greece and much in the same way the Texas is part of the US.

    @jeraldbaxter3532 9 месяцев назад

    Thank you for this video! The idea of aquatic connections and trade routes in the ancient world is fascinating; we can never know the complete truth (such a chimerical word, truth), only form theories based on material remains, but this documentary, besides being entertaining, is intiguing in the theories it presents. And the observation that climate change is not a new problem, but in fact something as old as time. Granted, humans have exacerbated the problem, especially in the last 200 years, it is good to hear a varied perspective. Also, as they are sitting around the campfire, consuming mutton broth and drinking vodka, one of the guides offers the toast, "chin chin"; curious how he uses a phrase usually associated with the England of the past. Did the phrase originate in Central Asia and made its way to England? Did the guide have access to the internet and a taste for English culture? Who knows? Interesting how the complexities of the world. But in the end, that is the theme of this documentary.

    If the Caspian Sea and Black Sea were connected some 10,000 years ago, then they should share the animal that they live in the sea. However, they don’t for instance, there is no shark in Caspian Sea Unlike Black Sea. aspiration fish for caviar in Caspian Sea un like Black Sea. And 10,000 or 20,000 years is not enough time for evolution and change to take place.overall, I think this two sea never connected at all.

    Like Julius Caesar, Alexander was a genocidal maniac. He probably killed millions of men, women and children to satisfy his lust for power. On the other hand, I'm always fascinated by the cavalier rattling off of time by these historians. "Oh, it was only 4,000 years ago," or "It was 12,000 years ago - yadda yadda yadda." Our conception of time is warped. Modern civilization has only existed for maybe 500 years, and Christianity has "only" been around 2,000 years. 12,000 years is an impossible distance in time none of us can even get our brains around. A THOUSAND YEARS is a long long time! Twelve of them is impossible to fathom!

      Actually, it's not the case. Turkmenistan as a whole and Turan Depression in particular were explored and excavated quite well during Soviet era and some time after its collapse. So we have quite extensive knowledge about bronze age sites, Parthian era, Persian and Turkic rule. The problem is this work was mostly abandoned after Turkmenistan declared independence and few soviet archeologists passed away some time after that
