I'm a Navajo native, Army Vetran from in Arizona. I am in tears of joy, family, pride, history,. Wiping my tears again. Thank you for this share, my heart is smiling 😀
I've hiked in the Yukon and it's wild to think about the history hidden beneath your feet. This documentary really brings home the feeling that we walk in the footsteps of many who came before us. These tools are a testament to human ingenuity and adaptability.
Gosh, I fell in love with each person who spoke in this documentary. I could watch and listen to them all tell stories and share their experiences for hours-they are all so rich with wisdom. So many First Nations people featured too! It was excellent to see them tell their stories. Really incredible.
Anecdotal knowledge from elders was the internet of its day. I feel that is why we were able to become the civilization of today. It was the personal touch of education that has been lost. Knowledge and technology without emotional connection of responsibility for the consequences is our legacy and compared to any storyteller of the past we fail spectacularly. God bless all
I'm a Yupik Eskimo, from Kotlik Alaska, the mouth of the mighty Yukon. We still use spears and spear throwers for hunting seals in the summer. Young kids can be very cracking throwers and fun to watch when we hunt seals with spears and harpoons. My people never stopped using the spears and spear thrower and harpoon. Awsome finds. There are many ancient artifacts throughout the mighty Yukon River. Greetings from Kotlik Alaska.
Only 15 minutes in and this is already one of the neatest documentaries I have seen in a long time. The preservation of the artifacts is absolutely amazing.
In Australia the indigenous people there had the same weapon / tool as the Atlatl and have seen the distance and accuracy they can be thrown. To now know of these items being elsewhere confirms my belief in migration and the possibility that all nation are or can be related. What a awesome story to watch and learn from. Thankyou...
They were used all around the globe in the Paleolithic! we find them more related to de Native American tribes and Australian aboriginals because of their more Paleolithic-like way of living, but hunter-gatherers from all around the world used them! It's so cool
Some researching i did into understanding DNA to better understand my family history. I found that some isolated pockets of indigenous south American east coast cultures, actually have some indigenous Australian DNA. Which tells us that there must have been mingling of these cultures at some point, to some degree. Very interesting!
@@ominous-omnipresent-they just like the Elongated skulls, matching stone work and myths. Just a coincidence. It was really nice of the Abrahamic religion to spread civilization to the world 👌
I like Hancock ideas to kick off interest but he goes off the path with the mystical. I have half a set penguin myths explain. Like Rama and Sitas kidnapping by the monkey king. Taking her Siri Lanka 🇱🇰 and NASA photos of the land bridge that joins to India. Makingb itv real.
Hancock will be proven right in MANY of his claims in the end. So will many more MODERN scientists who are not afraid to buck the scientific OLD GUARD who do everything in their power to discredit anything that dares question the validity of THEIR hypothesizing. Or have you all forgotten that 95% of ALL of what they claim as fact about the past of humanity is just hypothesis AND HYPERBOLE! The Egyptians did NOT BUILD THE PYRAMIDS AND IT'S EVEN RECORDED BY THE ORIGINAL EGYPTIANS THAT THEY DID NOT BUILD THEM BUT FOUND THEM! Yet all the current Egyptologists deny the PROOF written in the original Egyptian tablets and wall engravings themselves! The Egyptians recorded EVERY SINGLE DETAIL of their lives right down to quills and the number of bottles of wine purchased yet there is not one single document telling about the building of the Pyramids! Not one document listing the cost of the Stone blocks or anything else!
The stunning beauty, the tranquility, the reverence, all contributed to the overwhelming happiness that I felt while watching this awesome documentary. It had me smiling benignly from beginning to to end. Thank you so much for this wonderful Christmas present: for me, it is an outstanding and unforgettable highlight of the year.
My father went on many far northern caribou hunts in his life, at Ungava Bay etc. I know from many years of listening to him that in the Summer that caribou will not seek altitude for thermo regulation but to escape the absolutely horrific concentration of large arctic mosquitos in the lowlands. The caribou are tormented by them, and the mosquitos will prevent summer weight gain and prevent proper development or even the survival of calves.
I was once an assistant guide in Alaska. On a trip to Twin Lakes in May 1978, I learned how true this observation is. I wore mosquito net and used spray to protect my hands, because the mosquitos literally darkened the sky. The drone was unearthly and every step in the tundra raised a new cloud. The few caribou left in the area were stragglers from the main herd, and they were covered with mosquitoes. It wasn’t flies, guys, but millions upon millions of ravenous mosquitoes.
I Wonder how did all of these animals avoid / survive insects during the ice age? There were far more animals so I assume more mosquitoes. Yet all these bisons, horse, deer and caribou thrived. Were there more insert eaters? Anyone knows?
This film hits what I believe to be the most important part of archeology: The story told to us by our ancestors about who they were, how they lived, and possibly how they died. It is poignant to feel the reality of a life lost while alone on the ice and snow. One can only hope that he was loved and cherished, and that his passing was not painful to him, while we continue to honor him for who he is, and what his body is able to speak to us. It is so painful that the Sami experienced the same cultural obliteration that so many other cultures have experienced.
It's very sad that cultural obliteration, breakup of families, removing children from their parents is still happening today. So important to understand the pain from the past to let cultures and families live freely today.. The forcible assimilation of various cultures into one is a very sad lesson that many governments still haven't learned.
I would love there to be a recording of all oral history of the native American tribes. But there's many other tribes still out there that the same is occurring
Let's be very greatful for the western technology that helped us find and date these objects. Also for the DNA technology that that shows who we are and where we came from. The average life span of those who lived 1400 was about 30 years. Know it averages 75 or above. There's much move. I for one am very grateful! Think about it !
@@bryanfinkell5184 The average lifespan of 30 years is very deceptive, and shows how statistics need to be taken in the context of their surroundings. The average is so low because a much higher percentage of children died before the age of five. If you lived past that age, one had a very good chance to live to a normal old age, with the biggest issues being the health of ones teeth, the dangers of childbirth, and infection from wounds. While fewer people survived greater than the age of 75 than now, there was still a good percentage that did so.
This is so fascinating. I should have not changed my major from archaeology to history when I was younger. It is odd that the ice sheets are melting to the to the degree they were thousands of years ago. It makes you wonder if those folks thought the world was going to come to an end from global freezing.
Did you go into teaching history? I don't think you made a mistake. Archaeology was and still is difficult to get funding for. I did some volunteer dig work locally in the 90s. To get certified as avocational required all the hours I'd clocked, plus a couple of classes I'd have to pay for - signatures and some other crap, just so I, as an Avocational Archaeologist could go spend $1500+ USD to join other digs across the US. My decision? Mechanical design degree, docent work at our local natural history museum, and the old news clippings I'd saved from that time.
I get your point. When these points, atlatl darts and the human remains were deposited there, the ice was not as thick since they are melting out of the ice sheets. People freak out about melting ice, but there were many times in history when the ice was small. And people walked along and among the animals when the ice was not thick.
What an amazing story it's so lovely to hear its being treated respectfully. Thankyou teaching me about the lovely people. Bless you all xxxx Linda Bellamy UK
I dont think their life was as difficult as we think. With all of our modern comforts we have become weak, wimpy compared to their lifestyle. Our modern technological 'smarts' cannot be compared to the intelligence it takes to live with nature.
@@joemfk1 Anthropologists believe that ancient hunter gatherers lived a fairly leisurly lifestyle. Our ancestors condemned us to an eternity of labor when they started farming.
This is soo sick!!! It’s amazing that the ice preserved everything this great! Can you imagine how much things were able to be found in the early 1900’s
Every now and then mother nature gives us a gift like this. These are tangible connections to some of the toughest, smartest people to ever live. Hunter gatherers. People that were completely in touch with nature and the cosmos. Respect 🙏
@@PibrochPonder it quite literally is. The same intelligence that got man to build a spear is the the same exact intelligence and knowledge sharing that lead us to put the man on the moon.
@@mftoeless1687 it’s knowledge you are talking about. Also it’s not the exact same as culture and average group IQ also play a big role. Heck in some places they still have Stone Age tribes.
This is why I love documentaries. It gives you insight of things and events that happen anywhere on earth. My parents had pushed us on things like history, archeology, sciences that can keep us busy and learning. Interacting among us humans and nature is what keeps us learning more, apart from being too disruptive to our environment with civilization and from not becoming instinct, It's what we've learned is what has allowed us to keep thriving and evolving.
I went on a field trip to site about 12 years ago now (as a 7th grader), and they showed us the atlatl throwing pieces found in the area. To demonstrate how much skill it took to actually throw one of these accurately, they set up a frame (box shaped) about 30 feet away and told us that we had to get one in the box to eat lunch (because we were hunting our imaginary deer box). I am proud to say I was the only one who got it through, and I, am the successful hunter (also it was really hard lol)
My husband and i visited an very old cave in American S.E. and We had a chance to use an atlat and experienced the difference in how far rhe spear went using it>
Dear universe.. PLEASE PLEASE make more videos like THIS happen regularly.. instead of priceless gems that we have to scrounge around to find.. 🙏 LOVE this stuff.. going to watch it a few times so I don’t miss anything.. THANK YOU for making & posting this The images are STUNNING 😍
When I was a boy we used to make throwing sticks like those discovered on the ice, we called them swathy's, I don't know where that name came from but it was a name that was universally known in the area that I grew up in. We quickly progressed from a wooden launcher to a piece of string with a knot in which you wrapped around the swathy locking it in position with the knot so that it released as you threw it. A piece of string goes in a young boys pocket better than a launching stick and we found it more accurate and it worked well whatever the swathy's length. We used a bay leaf shaped leaf inserted in a split in the end and retied with thin cord or fishing line for flights although a few pieces of string about 8 inches long whipped onto the end of the swathy worked just as well. We didn't have the patience to flint knap the points so we usually just carved a point and wrapped garden wire(from local building sites) to add weight to the front. We were devilishly accurate with them, and woe betide any rats that came in range. We of course didn't know the archaeological significance, its obviously what boys had been doing for thousands of years in play, long after the necessity to use them for hunting had passed.
I also made 'throwing arrows" as we called them. We got the idea from an old book I think it was called "The Handy Boys Guide" ? The thrower was a piece of flexible Hickory notched to hold the arrow, it had great speed and with practice great accuracy.
I'm an experienced archeological person and would LOVE to come help with this project!!!! I found a HUGE COLLECTION in S.C. previously not known. Everything from hunting, fishing, and farming tools
I would love to see these wonders. What a great final story. Respecting all the family groups as they find and examine these artifacts is so important for the native families.
Darned shame that the North American tribes are so anti science. Looks like today’s “natives” are afraid they might be proven to not be the descendants of these long dead people
At 2:18 - Carbon dating is a joke. About as reliable as a lie detector test. Already got this lack of credibility in less than three minutes and there's gobs more to come?

@@bobbyguest3906 i dunno. You can certainly ask these scientists. They are reachable by email. Before you do that, you should be conversant with their practices. I myself am content with their representation of their results
The First Nation people in this video are wonderful! You can just feel the kindness in their soul seeping into you with their voice. My deepest respect.
Thank you for saving these artifacts for rest of us who are normally educated but not had the opportunity to study this in-depth. I’m in ah of what I have learned today. Thank you I have actually read books where they have described these tools but being able to see them with my own eyes no words to describe. Thank you 🍀🍀🕊🌍🕊♥️
Too bad this documentary is mixed with lie's ! Half of what they say is false , A lie actually ! One this they can never give us is proof of any kind ! And if you look around you will find contradictions in their claims ! And that's a fact. Please don't take my word for it , look for yourself ,... You will see the truth all on your own as I did . And so many other's did. Good luck and God bless.
@@rm-gh1co That uncovered wood will rot away in no time. The ice preserved it until now. Even a mouse coming along and chewing the sinew bindings would ruin that craftsman's work forever.
Fascinating archaeology! Also, really love that the connection of the people to the land and their history (including the Residential Schools) is addressed.
The manufacture of these darts and method of deployment exhibits an amazing level of sophistication on the part of the ancient hunters these darts are far more effective as a weapon than bow and arrows..amazing!
This kind of study excites me more than searching for gold. To walk around the melting ice in search of artifacts from the past as shown in this video... that is high on my wish-list! I could spend weeks with my nose to the ground and be as happy as a kid in a candy store.
I was thinking something like that too. I can see the archaeologists finding a gold nugget and saying "meh who cares?" Then "ooh look at the caribou dung! Hey there's a piece of wood here!"
I live on the Olympic Peninsula, Washington state, USA. I have hiked many miles in the Olympic mountains. I have come across boot/moccasin print in stone, along with what looks to be walking stick impressions, v shaped stone formations, and stone steps. All in the vicinity of a mountain that resembles a pyramid. I took pictures, but didn't really know what I was looking at. This really opened my eyes to what I saw. Now I have to go back. Thank you!!
I found this very inspiring. Suddenly I felt myself running with the hunters! Our life has become too easy. In search of constant greater “safety” we are losing the feeling of being alive, exhilarated. And becoming too domesticated we are becoming prey of other forces
To Claire Mataira, it is interesting you mentioned that. There was a short lived TV series, of asking a small group of people, who were knew what the reason was, to walk down through on a path between groups of trees, bushes. It was to see if modern man would be able to detect predatory animals, in the area, or near by, or waiting for them to come by. This was done several times, differing groups each time. Almost none would have made it, even to the middle point. Modern man didn't have a clue what to look for as he was walking, or even what to do if suspected something. From this, it was postulated, that man would get back some of it by the next generation. Am thinking, wise people, would bring that favored animal, dogs, and of course, weaponry re spear points, etc. He would also communicate to others, and as always, trade for that better spear point.
@@rumplestiltskin3268 Will start looking for it and pass on to you. It was one of those times was walking from here to there and the TV was on, and something caught the attention, what was so interesting about seeing if a group of people could walk and then started listening. This was back before you tubes and such. Will send it on to you and anything like it if can find a catagory for this for your interest.
@@rumplestiltskin3268 And you would be one of the ones that would spot something amiss, and make it out. Because you spotted something amiss, before you walked into it. You would be the go to person of the group.
Fascinating and informative. I love that they were able to find blood relatives for the 2-3 hundred year old man. That really connects past to present.
What may give you a hint of what climatecrisis really means. Because right now , technically ,we are at the beginning of a new ice age not at an end of one.
All the ice did not melt at that time because we are still in the most recent pleistocene epoch, we are still in an ice age, granted the end of an ice age, but we are still in an ice age
It did not melt then to the extent that it has now melted. Additionally, we are now moving from an interglacial period to what should be a glacial period (according to previous glacial/interglacial cycles), but we are not seeing any signs of reglacialisation.
@@zenolachance1181 Nope we are a few thousand years away from the end of the current interglacial and the beginning of a new glacial. More worryingly the glaciatians are getting longer and the interglacials COOLER, our current interglacial is significantly cooler than the two which preceded it. It will warm and cool there will be long periods of cooling and warming around every thousand years just like the paleoclimate data shows us is normal, but overall it is cooling the peak warmings are getting shorter and cooler over the last 11000 years.
When I was 5 I found a perfect arrow point in the dirt below my sand box, it actually had small fossil imprints of shells on it. I ran to the house as fast as I could and told my parents what I found. Dad laughed thinking I found a normal rock, but when I handed it to him he was amazed. It was made so perfectly I yearned to know who had made it and when.
In the summer of 1965, my family traveled to New York to visit/meet my dad's family. On the first day at my dad's uncle's house in Cairo, NY, I found an arrowhead in his driveway. He had only just spread a load of gravel (shale, slate) on it just a week earlier. What a huge surprise for a 10-year old from Florida!
I am a conscientious objector from Vietnam Invasion era from Minnesota part Anishinaabe and in awe of this documentary. It is one of the most interesting documentaries I have seen and so glad they are studying all remains, human too, and artifacts as these Archaeologists are at a very brief and vital time to find all they can and how much more is out there as future generations will not have this opportunity during this tragic fact of climate change. Now is the time and wish the scientists could receive more funding to learn of our past, all humanity's past too, when so much funding goes to the military. One aircraft carrier and its full fleet of ships involves 6,700 sailors on a budget of one million dollars a day.
These artifacts are coming out of ice that, though thousands of years old, is still often younger than the weapon. The arctic was ice free many times in human history, usually just before an ice age. 10k yrs of warm and 90k of cold, then back to 10k of warm and again to 90k of cold over and over for the last few million years, this has been the state of the Earth.
Kinda shoots holes in the current Global Climate Change idea. The Human record keeping doesn't even show up on the geologic record keeping that the earth provides. Geology tells us that ice comes and goes and the drivers are bigger than us.
@@strawberyyicecreamdream216 My opinion may not agree with today's agenda or politically correctness but the facts are written in stone - the geologic evidence can not be changed to suit any agenda.
Great program. Love this kind of show. Would like it even better if it was 30 to 35 minutes long instead of 50 minutes. Seems it had a few long moments that could have been shortened. Thank you
I love the feeling of learning and feeling like one more piece of the puzzle was added. I wonder why the atlatl was not kept in use. Was it just a coastal weapon ? I wish somebody would develop a time flow chart of the use of the atlatl. Yes Paul, great documentary. When I was younger brat kid, I was lucky enough to hang out with Dr. Borowski ( The Accent of Man fame ) and his lovely wife. Who were friends of our family in San Diego. Which makes me of course intellectual scrap at his table. But , it did make me grow up with the appreciation of the world around me , like you Paul.. Have best of days. Did you notice ; 1000s of years have past and untold world events have passed and what do they use.... Plumbers foam and or Pool worms to keep shafts safe. love it. No pretense.
There must be an extraordinary wealth of artifacts melting out of ice patches in Siberia. I wonder how extensive the efforts are to collect, preserve and study them?
I love this, thank you so much for sharing this. I just found that I have Cherokee Ancestry, and I can see that my indigenous ancestors probably subsisted with wonderful tools like this.
LOVED THIS!! Thank you so much for sharing. I sincerely hope that all young indigenous children across the planet learn as much as possible about their heritage, art, language and somehow regain as much of their cultural land as possible!! It’s always been my fondest wish that especially the Native American land be restored to its rightful custodians. It’s the only way America will be preserved for people a million years from now!
Yet again a great doc! Im exited about what the field of archeology will bring to us in the future. I Hope the scientific and academic establishment are ready for finds that will contribute to our understanding of are species history, and open for finds that may challenge our contemporary narrative.
Richard King. It is hoped that you will also be able to visit here. Perhaps a volunteer to help find and locate finds that are now showing themselves, and share in the wonderfulness of such.
I love this. The archeological findings are fascinating and I want so badly for native peoples anywhere to be able to reestablish their history and roots and have a say so in artifacts collected for scientific research.
I may be guilty of mis-underlistening but OTZI is 5300 years old, I heard 3300. He is a fascinating study as well and anyone excited by this video should take a look. LOTS of videos about him.
Here ya go from Wiki: Tissue samples from the corpse and other accompanying materials were later analyzed at several scientific institutions and their results unequivocally concluded that the remains belonged to someone who had lived between 3359 and 3105 BCE, or some 5,000 years ago.[5] More specific estimates stated that there was a 66% chance he died between 3239 and 3105 BC, a 33% chance he died between 3359 and 3294 BC, and a 1% chance he died between 3277 and 3268 BC.[6]
@@scotmcpherson I don't think anybody is sure . consensus science has missed the mark lately. ok the ground under the ice tells a different story. what if , Earths electric potential is on the rise due to weakening of our magnetic field? possible " climate change " with out human influence. thanks for asking Scott. also something that's been of concern? all the megafauna flash frozen fresh still to this day? did you know? in the Arctic, just around the region in question. what happened? did the earth roll over ?
@@cokemachine5510 consensus science? No no, you said that the ice melting isn't what's unprecidented, but the event that laid the ice down. I am saying, I think you are wrong. It's well known that the earth is in ice age for far greater lengths of time than warm periods, so I don't understand why you made your statement. It's the exact opposite of what's understood. And what do you mean flash frozen and earth flipped over? If you are asking how the animals got down into the ice, that's EASY. It's albedo....the ice is mostly white and reflects sunlight, whilst mammoths for instance are dark and therefore absorb light and it's heat. This means that anything that isn't boyant in water WILL sink through the ice when the sun shines. Quick experiment for you....Freeze a cup of water this winter and place a quarter on top of the ice. Place that ice outside in the sun. Even when it's 40 degrees below zero, the quarter will still slowly make it's way to the bottom of the cup.
@@scotmcpherson maybe Scott, I'm not going to say you're wrong, that's what we were taught in school right? I have a feeling the Younger Dryas event gouged out the Grand Canyon, transporting the megafauna into a pile in the Arctic, not sure the mechanism? seen it buddy, where do you think the world gets its piano keys ? billiard balls? most anything and everything Ivory. coal with identifiable organic material , 1000s of years old. like the redating of all the Glaciers of the world . not 100s of thousands or millions of years.. soooo concensus science either is dishonest or mistaken with hubris, plays out kinda like this. so again, what happened Scott ?
@@scotmcpherson Mammoths and other contemporary megafauna did NOT roam about on icefields and glaciers, they were cold/ temperate mammals and something killed millions of these animals very quickly and very suddenly. This is why we can still find almost complete examples in melting permafrost today. This was a catastrophic event and not a gradual change in climate. I think this is what Mr cokemachine means when he mentions "flash frozen".
I have no immediate first nations connection and yet I feel incredibly connected to these stories as they link me to a time in my ancestors history which was no different from the experience of the people who lost these tools.
These shows make me question the whole climate change!! I am not a book smart guy but it seems to me like the Earth just does what it does when it's ready to grow and preserve itself and we are all here just for the ride.
I worked as field tech. Over the year I did that, we hiked miles and dug I don't know how many holes. Yet we found very little. I'd love to work on a project like this.
Just started watching this and found that those arrow head darts look like the one I have displayed a Cherokee Elder made, that I acquired from him many years ago. It looks the same. He did his work using the ancient methods. On the end is three feathers placed in an aerodynamic manner. He explained that these were thrown from another device and that they could travel very far, when I was first interested in the peace, he explained it was not a spear thrown from the hand but from another device. He was a kind man and I enjoyed sitting with him learning a bit about his craft. Pretty fascinating 🧐 connection to the Yukon and the Cherokee. Looking forward to the rest of this video. Really cool they found these so far north. Wow was just looking at Atlatl and people that throw them and they have the feathers wrong: they are attached with sinew only at the spine of the feathers and the main spines of the feathers is bowed for airflow. The feathers are not supposed to be attached like on an arrow. Brother Clayton made those as well and the spear / dart is made different for flight beyond what is being shown in the video. I’d assume the main shaft will not wobble with the proper feather placement, or I’m wrong. God’s Blessings 🙏🏼🕊️ Decided to measure if anyone’s interested Clayton was a Flint-knapper. This particular piece he made out of a straight bamboo shaft instead of carved wood like he did arrows. The piece is 72” long; 21/2” from the bottom is where the Turkey feathers begin attaching; their spines are 101/2” with 9” of split in half and trimmed straight feathers that are squared off on both ends; the spines are attached with sinew only on the spines and they sorta bow outwards. The arrowhead on the piece is 3” long with a rounded point instead of pointy and it’s a little over 11/2 wide. The jointed bamboo shaft is 1/2” across / 2” around and the natural joints are 8” to 9”. Bamboo doesn’t deteriorate like wood either and it’s stronger. The piece is very solid I doubt it wobbles when thrown in the traditional manner.
G'day, any Australian knows exactly how those throwing sticks work. They are called "Woomeras". I have seen films of Aboriginals from northern Australia using them and they can hit a kangaroo or stingray from quite a long distance. The spears that Aboriginals use are much longer and thicker than these darts and have no feathers. Woomera is the name given to a guided missile testing facility in South Australia operating in the 50s-70s.
@@chancethompson8686 yes we have those sites here in the Pacific Northwest. We have visitors at the site and they can practice throwing. We have petroglyphs as well at the site near the Snake River.
Amazing Documentary. When the ice retreats, we find humans have been here long before. Who was driving cars to melt the ice enough for them to hunt up there back then? It's almost like the weather is a natural fluctuating mechanism or something...
well, of course it is. The further point being that the natural seasonal changes had been radically accelerated by human beings in their destructive behaviour, to the degree that the Earth is in Big trouble.

@@repetemyname842 Nonsense. You infer that are there people with the notion that the "Sky is Falling" and that they have allies in the serious scientific establishments. And while some elements of national media certainly lean in the direction of "Chicken Little",these are in the minority in my opinion.
you weren’t paying attention. those ice patches have been there long enough to preserve what it has been preserving. if they had fluctuated (melted refrozen melted) those those artifacts would have been destroyed
I’m really interested in how the ancient peoples figured out the whole “atlatle”. I mean, for the time they lived in that’s gotta be some pretty advanced stuff. Was it accidental, was it something made from necessity and then fine tuned? Really really interesting stuff that.
It's a mistake to think of these people as inferior. They may not have engineering degrees, but they understood mechanical advantage better than most urban youths. It was pretty obvious to them in my opinion. They would've been more hindered by available materials than by understanding.
Oh I’m not saying they’re inferior, just wondered and at what point someone thought, “ you know, I bet I could get more thrust and distance if I figure something else out….”
I find it amazing that people believe they are more intelligent or creative than ancient people because we've had the advantage of tech bestowed to us... From them. "We stand on the shoulders of Giants"
Part Sami and part Viking born in Norway, but now living in the Rocky Mountains. It is fantastic to get such views into our ancestors after the ice melts.
When you start getting heavy into geology, especially ancient geology, you start to see some major inconsistencies between what climate scientists and geologists say.
Climate change is a natural thing. However humans are definitely speeding up the warming climate and will be detrimental to future generations. I don't know the exact solution but our pollution is a problem.
Why does no one point out that this is absolute proof that the climate was so much warmer in the past that these northern areas supported hunters and large game animals.
That copper pointed caribou antler point is astounding! The work that went into making just one?! Copper age reflected in how far it's usage circulated. Perhaps archeologists will find the remains of smelting ore at a seasonal encampment. Not surprising that we're making more discoveries with all the melt.
There isn't any evidence (that I know of) of copper smelting in North America. They did know how to heat and beat copper to shape. 5K years is very early for copper working in the New World
You're absolutely correct, so far we know. Trade would be another possibility. That might lead to trans oceanic discoveries. I just find it all quite interesting.
@@missourimongoose8858 plus the fact the amount that has been removed from the island is incredible. A few years back the were testing the DNA of the copper tools around the Mediterranean sea and was traced back to Isle Royale which they say has been mined over 6k years. Then the story went quiet because they weren't suppose to be traveling and trading such distances. There are hundreds of stories from North American newspapers from around 1800 to 1930's that those buried in the thousands of mounds across America many were buried in copper breast plates, helmets and jewelry. Where it all went and those wearing it is anybody's guess but it sure didn't go along with said narrative. Looks as if those folks were dealing with a bit of climate change. Just imagine that.
The lady speaking at 37:10 is absolutely right about what she said. Any and all First Nation people found, their personal belongings, and everything else that's found on their land, belongs to the First Nation. No government should ever tell the First Nation what they can and can't do with their dead. My heart feels very good for what they were able to do for that man who was found. Welcome home, Kwäday Dän Ts'inchi.
I wonder if they’re documenting the orientation of the darts and arrows. It’d be interesting to see, especially in the steeper sections, as it would demonstrate their tactics; were they hunting down, across, or up the slopes, or were they avoiding the slopes for the most part?
I have no way to explain how absolutely amazing this is and I would probably pass out if I found any of that. I would pay a lot of money to be apart of those searches.
Yes, Atlatl darts can be hurled with great accuracy. I have watched an athlete practice with his Atlatl with the darts having safer archery-type target points, when I lived in Central Florida in the USA. I can see where this would be an outstanding hunting weapon for people in ancient Canada as well as probably all of the ancient Americas.
Makes you wonder, why the Atlatl ( thanks for spelling it out for us) did not become as common as the bow and arrow. I know that the atlatl was found if not used in Santa Barbara islands and found in archaeological sites. But legends have atlatls in use. where as the bow and arrow are used. It certainly gives more credence to Pacific Island cultures that they made to Alaska and came back to Hawaii. Of course , I am stating this so i can be corrected. just love the world we live in.
Also modern day Atlatl equipment can be purchased at some archery supply stores and online. The Three Rivers Archery Supply online site has or had Atlatl supplies.
That is amazing that they found the relatives of the hunter that died on the ice. They must be so proud to know that their ancestor was so rugged and an adventurist without fear of the unknown.
THat ancient hunter did not have muchc choice It was get u p in the morning, gather your equpt and buddies and go hunting or go hungrry, for yourself and your family and tribe. until an unknown future time. So, they got up and went hunting.
@@cstephenson3749 If you watch the documentary on Otzi ( The name the scientist gave him ) he wasn't hunting, he was murdered. They found he had been shot with several arrows or darts.
@@oldman9843 old fool. Oetzi was found way the hell up top of the Italian Alps. With his hunting kit. The scientists who studied his stomach contents have written that the ibex he had eaten was fresh and had just been consumed when he died. It’s what suggests Oetzi was ambushed while he was hunting, and while he had just eaten some of his kill. But see, now I’m spoiling the whole story for you, which you could very easily look up. But not only are you an old fool who comments first without knowledge, you say things that can’t possibly make sense. Why don’t you look into subjects before commenting publicly on them? There’s several videos about Oetzi here on YT.
Thank you for this posting. This is the a pitta me, at least in my mind of why I study world history and tools that are in the world of the making anthropological studies. This to me is just the combination of understanding the advancement and culture in the dissemination of knowledge and skill throughout generations. And now because of genetics and just our understanding of so much more this profound depth of revelations especially at this time and climate change is so much more important in acquiring these fleeting moments which might just get washed away if not made aware of to more peoples. Thank you so much for this I could not have been happier listening to all of this information. Especially to find out that people genetically related to the man discovered in the British Columbia region recently. Outstanding!
No. Winter hunting. Are you trying to disprove climate change? Up until 10,000 years ago, and the last great Ice Age when NYC was buried under miles of ice, and probably no humans were in the American hemisphere, yeah, before that ice was probably not there.
People hunt during the winter on the snow and ice. I'm not sure what point you think you're making. During the summer the darker objects will absorb heat and sink into the ice. During the winter the objects will get covered with new snowfall. That's how things get buried in the ice.
@@squirlmy Not climate change generically but anthropogenic global warming. The fact that New York was there to be inhabited instead of under ice should be a clue. We’re in a warming trend, true enough, but it’s been happening for centuries and has nothing to do with CO2 emissions. If you were interested in science, you wouldn’t jump all over someone asking a simple question. You seem to want to shut down discussion, not further it.
@@johnsmith-em2wp Yes, you are absolutely correct. Earth's climate has always been changing and will always continue to change. There have been periods of warming in the geologic past....long before man....that were much warmer than today. I wonder how the Anthropogenic climate change fear mongers will figure out how to blame us for that...!!! This current period of warming is called "The Inter-Glacial Warming Period" and is what made it possible for Man to advance and develop in the Latitudes above and below the Equatorial zone with the longer growing seasons and learn to settle down and not have to depend on a Nomadic lifestyle to survive. Planet Earth spends more time in an ice age; a glacial age, than a warming period. This is why the term " Inter-Glacial Warming Period".
Would love to share this technology with my screen-addicted 6 year old grandsons. They immediately behave more engagingly as soon as we get them into the great outdoors. Humans are amazingly adaptable and clever.
Twenty five years ago I attended a workshop on the attle attle, we all set to and made some really poor examples from hazel and were then encouraged to use them, with in a few minutes we were throwing darts one hundred yards plus with reasonable accuracy. I rather feel some one who grew up throwing darts with well made equipment would do substantially better.
As a boy, I used to make throwing arrows, 2.5/3 feet long. these had a notch just below the feather flights . A length of knotted string would be wrapped around the arrow at the notch and would be used like the atle-atle. 150/200 yards possible with this, accuracy only reasonable ! Am now 72, long time ago. This would be classed as an offensive weapon in this country (UK) now. How times have changed !.
@@barrysherwin3297 Barry not too far behind you in age and as a twelve year old introduced to a very similar weapon by a friend at scout camp in Surrey, don't remember hurling it that far but it's ability to strike trees with great force was impressive.

I've hiked in the Yukon and it's wild to think about the history hidden beneath your feet. This documentary really brings home the feeling that we walk in the footsteps of many who came before us. These tools are a testament to human ingenuity and adaptability.
Gosh, I fell in love with each person who spoke in this documentary. I could watch and listen to them all tell stories and share their experiences for hours-they are all so rich with wisdom. So many First Nations people featured too! It was excellent to see them tell their stories. Really incredible.
Pure wisdom...from people who would still live on the stone age
Anecdotal knowledge from elders was the internet of its day. I feel that is why we were able to become the civilization of today. It was the personal touch of education that has been lost. Knowledge and technology without emotional connection of responsibility for the consequences is our legacy and compared to any storyteller of the past we fail spectacularly. God bless all
I'm a Yupik Eskimo, from Kotlik Alaska, the mouth of the mighty Yukon. We still use spears and spear throwers for hunting seals in the summer. Young kids can be very cracking throwers and fun to watch when we hunt seals with spears and harpoons. My people never stopped using the spears and spear thrower and harpoon. Awsome finds.

In Australia the indigenous people there had the same weapon / tool as the Atlatl and have seen the distance and accuracy they can be thrown. To now know of these items being elsewhere confirms my belief in migration and the possibility that all nation are or can be related. What a awesome story to watch and learn from. Thankyou...
They were used all around the globe in the Paleolithic! we find them more related to de Native American tribes and Australian aboriginals because of their more Paleolithic-like way of living, but hunter-gatherers from all around the world used them! It's so cool
Some researching i did into understanding DNA to better understand my family history. I found that some isolated pockets of indigenous south American east coast cultures, actually have some indigenous Australian DNA. Which tells us that there must have been mingling of these cultures at some point, to some degree. Very interesting!

Hancock will be proven right in MANY of his claims in the end. So will many more MODERN scientists who are not afraid to buck the scientific OLD GUARD who do everything in their power to discredit anything that dares question the validity of THEIR hypothesizing. Or have you all forgotten that 95% of ALL of what they claim as fact about the past of humanity is just hypothesis AND HYPERBOLE! The Egyptians did NOT BUILD THE PYRAMIDS AND IT'S EVEN RECORDED BY THE ORIGINAL EGYPTIANS THAT THEY DID NOT BUILD THEM BUT FOUND THEM! Yet all the current Egyptologists deny the PROOF written in the original Egyptian tablets and wall engravings themselves! The Egyptians recorded EVERY SINGLE DETAIL of their lives right down to quills and the number of bottles of wine purchased yet there is not one single document telling about the building of the Pyramids! Not one document listing the cost of the Stone blocks or anything else!

My father went on many far northern caribou hunts in his life, at Ungava Bay etc. I know from many years of listening to him that in the Summer that caribou will not seek altitude for thermo regulation but to escape the absolutely horrific concentration of large arctic mosquitos in the lowlands. The caribou are tormented by them, and the mosquitos will prevent summer weight gain and prevent proper development or even the survival of calves.
Wow.
I was once an assistant guide in Alaska. On a trip to Twin Lakes in May 1978, I learned how true this observation is. I wore mosquito net and used spray to protect my hands, because the mosquitos literally darkened the sky. The drone was unearthly and every step in the tundra raised a new cloud. The few caribou left in the area were stragglers from the main herd, and they were covered with mosquitoes. It wasn’t flies, guys, but millions upon millions of ravenous mosquitoes.
Great ❤
I Wonder how did all of these animals avoid / survive insects during the ice age? There were far more animals so I assume more mosquitoes. Yet all these bisons, horse, deer and caribou thrived. Were there more insert eaters? Anyone knows?
This touches my heart deeply. How I wish the world could cherish peoples Lives the way these people do.

This film hits what I believe to be the most important part of archeology: The story told to us by our ancestors about who they were, how they lived, and possibly how they died. It is poignant to feel the reality of a life lost while alone on the ice and snow. One can only hope that he was loved and cherished, and that his passing was not painful to him, while we continue to honor him for who he is, and what his body is able to speak to us. It is so painful that the Sami experienced the same cultural obliteration that so many other cultures have experienced.
It's very sad that cultural obliteration, breakup of families, removing children from their parents is still happening today. So important to understand the pain from the past to let cultures and families live freely today.. The forcible assimilation of various cultures into one is a very sad lesson that many governments still haven't learned.
I would love there to be a recording of all oral history of the native American tribes. But there's many other tribes still out there that the same is occurring
Let's be very greatful for the western technology that helped us find and date these objects. Also for the DNA technology that that shows who we are and where we came from. The average life span of those who lived 1400 was about 30 years. Know it averages 75 or above. There's much move. I for one am very grateful! Think about it !
@@bryanfinkell5184
The average lifespan of 30 years is very deceptive, and shows how statistics need to be taken in the context of their surroundings. The average is so low because a much higher percentage of children died before the age of five. If you lived past that age, one had a very good chance to live to a normal old age, with the biggest issues being the health of ones teeth, the dangers of childbirth, and infection from wounds. While fewer people survived greater than the age of 75 than now, there was still a good percentage that did so.

This is so fascinating. I should have not changed my major from archaeology to history when I was younger. It is odd that the ice sheets are melting to the to the degree they were thousands of years ago. It makes you wonder if those folks thought the world was going to come to an end from global freezing.
You might find a history degree, quite useful, in the study of archaeology, make some calls! Can't hurt!!!
I went to school for anthropology in 2009; I dropped out.
I have vowed to pursue it again. You should as well; the world needs people like us.
Did you go into teaching history? I don't think you made a mistake. Archaeology was and still is difficult to get funding for. I did some volunteer dig work locally in the 90s. To get certified as avocational required all the hours I'd clocked, plus a couple of classes I'd have to pay for - signatures and some other crap, just so I, as an Avocational Archaeologist could go spend $1500+ USD to join other digs across the US. My decision? Mechanical design degree, docent work at our local natural history museum, and the old news clippings I'd saved from that time.
@@sealyoness I do love to study, I hold degrees in several disciplines
I get your point. When these points, atlatl darts and the human remains were deposited there, the ice was not as thick since they are melting out of the ice sheets. People freak out about melting ice, but there were many times in history when the ice was small. And people walked along and among the animals when the ice was not thick.
What an amazing story it's so lovely to hear its being treated respectfully. Thankyou teaching me about the lovely people. Bless you all xxxx Linda Bellamy UK

This is why I love documentaries. It gives you insight of things and events that happen anywhere on earth. My parents had pushed us on things like history, archeology, sciences that can keep us busy and learning. Interacting among us humans and nature is what keeps us learning more, apart from being too disruptive to our environment with civilization and from not becoming instinct, It's what we've learned is what has allowed us to keep thriving and evolving.
I went on a field trip to site about 12 years ago now (as a 7th grader), and they showed us the atlatl throwing pieces found in the area. To demonstrate how much skill it took to actually throw one of these accurately, they set up a frame (box shaped) about 30 feet away and told us that we had to get one in the box to eat lunch (because we were hunting our imaginary deer box). I am proud to say I was the only one who got it through, and I, am the successful hunter (also it was really hard lol)

History hit TV it's like Netflix but just for history always great
When I was a boy we used to make throwing sticks like those discovered on the ice, we called them swathy's, I don't know where that name came from but it was a name that was universally known in the area that I grew up in. We quickly progressed from a wooden launcher to a piece of string with a knot in which you wrapped around the swathy locking it in position with the knot so that it released as you threw it. A piece of string goes in a young boys pocket better than a launching stick and we found it more accurate and it worked well whatever the swathy's length. We used a bay leaf shaped leaf inserted in a split in the end and retied with thin cord or fishing line for flights although a few pieces of string about 8 inches long whipped onto the end of the swathy worked just as well. We didn't have the patience to flint knap the points so we usually just carved a point and wrapped garden wire(from local building sites) to add weight to the front. We were devilishly accurate with them, and woe betide any rats that came in range.
We of course didn't know the archaeological significance, its obviously what boys had been doing for thousands of years in play, long after the necessity to use them for hunting had passed.
same here, we called them french arrows. don't know why, i'll have to google it i think, lol !
I also made 'throwing arrows" as we called them. We got the idea from an old book I think it was called "The Handy Boys Guide" ? The thrower was a piece of flexible Hickory notched to hold the arrow, it had great speed and with practice great accuracy.
We made the same, also called French arrows. North Wiltshire

To Claire Mataira, it is interesting you mentioned that. There was a short lived TV series, of asking a small group of people, who were knew what the reason was, to walk down through on a path between groups of trees, bushes. It was to see if modern man would be able to detect predatory animals, in the area, or near by, or waiting for them to come by. This was done several times, differing groups each time. Almost none would have made it, even to the middle point. Modern man didn't have a clue what to look for as he was walking, or even what to do if suspected something. From this, it was postulated, that man would get back some of it by the next generation. Am thinking, wise people, would bring that favored animal, dogs, and of course, weaponry re spear points, etc. He would also communicate to others, and as always, trade for that better spear point.

“Their rate of melting was unprecedented “ ...except for the time when the entire North American ice sheet melted at the end of the last ice age...
😉
What may give you a hint of what climatecrisis really means.
Because right now , technically ,we are at the beginning of a new ice age not at an end of one.
All the ice did not melt at that time because we are still in the most recent pleistocene epoch, we are still in an ice age, granted the end of an ice age, but we are still in an ice age
It did not melt then to the extent that it has now melted. Additionally, we are now moving from an interglacial period to what should be a glacial period (according to previous glacial/interglacial cycles), but we are not seeing any signs of reglacialisation.
@@zenolachance1181 Nope we are a few thousand years away from the end of the current interglacial and the beginning of a new glacial.
More worryingly the glaciatians are getting longer and the interglacials COOLER, our current interglacial is significantly cooler than the two which preceded it.
It will warm and cool there will be long periods of cooling and warming around every thousand years just like the paleoclimate data shows us is normal, but overall it is cooling the peak warmings are getting shorter and cooler over the last 11000 years.
Fascinating. Thank you for sharing this.
Excellent presentation, thanks so much. Amazing times to be alive.
When I was 5 I found a perfect arrow point in the dirt below my sand box, it actually had small fossil imprints of shells on it. I ran to the house as fast as I could and told my parents what I found. Dad laughed thinking I found a normal rock, but when I handed it to him he was amazed. It was made so perfectly I yearned to know who had made it and when.
In the summer of 1965, my family traveled to New York to visit/meet my dad's family. On the first day at my dad's uncle's house in Cairo, NY, I found an arrowhead in his driveway. He had only just spread a load of gravel (shale, slate) on it just a week earlier. What a huge surprise for a 10-year old from Florida!
Me too in Arkansas, most kids down there had some. It is an amazing feeling for a kid!
Still have it?
I've found many in eastern Oregon. I leave them be, treat it as a little secret between me and them until it's able to be documented.
I found a whole Box full at age 8 at the Philadelphia natural history museum
I am a conscientious objector from Vietnam Invasion era from Minnesota part Anishinaabe and in awe of this documentary. It is one of the most interesting documentaries I have seen and so glad they are studying all remains, human too, and artifacts as these Archaeologists are at a very brief and vital time to find all they can and how much more is out there as future generations will not have this opportunity during this tragic fact of climate change. Now is the time and wish the scientists could receive more funding to learn of our past, all humanity's past too, when so much funding goes to the military. One aircraft carrier and its full fleet of ships involves 6,700 sailors on a budget of one million dollars a day.
These artifacts are coming out of ice that, though thousands of years old, is still often younger than the weapon. The arctic was ice free many times in human history, usually just before an ice age. 10k yrs of warm and 90k of cold, then back to 10k of warm and again to 90k of cold over and over for the last few million years, this has been the state of the Earth.
Kinda shoots holes in the current Global Climate Change idea. The Human record keeping doesn't even show up on the geologic record keeping that the earth provides. Geology tells us that ice comes and goes and the drivers are bigger than us.

Excellent video.
Great program. Love this kind of show. Would like it even better if it was 30 to 35 minutes long instead of 50 minutes. Seems it had a few long moments that could have been shortened. Thank you
This is a first class documentary.
Very informative. Thank you for your good work. 👏
I love the feeling of learning and feeling like one more piece of the puzzle was added. I wonder why the atlatl was not kept in use. Was it just a coastal weapon ? I wish somebody would develop a time flow chart of the use of the atlatl. Yes Paul, great documentary. When I was younger brat kid, I was lucky enough to hang out with Dr. Borowski ( The Accent of Man fame ) and his lovely wife. Who were friends of our family in San Diego. Which makes me of course intellectual scrap at his table. But , it did make me grow up with the appreciation of the world around me , like you Paul.. Have best of days. Did you notice ; 1000s of years have past and untold world events have passed and what do they use.... Plumbers foam and or Pool worms to keep shafts safe. love it. No pretense.
There must be an extraordinary wealth of artifacts melting out of ice patches in Siberia. I wonder how extensive the efforts are to collect, preserve and study them?
As extensive as uttering these holy words:
Suka blyat
See we boycot them and they dont have the resources to do that because we dont want free trade
Thank you for your service. God Bless you 🙏. Welcome home.
Awesome video and what incredible finds, especially the last piece with the copper tip. What a gift the past has given us from the ice.
Too bad the FN people want to hide the truth from the public
If they have nothing hide, then let the scientists examine it
I love this, thank you so much for sharing this. I just found that I have Cherokee Ancestry, and I can see that my indigenous ancestors probably subsisted with wonderful tools like this.
LOVED THIS!! Thank you so much for sharing. I sincerely hope that all young indigenous children across the planet learn as much as possible about their heritage, art, language and somehow regain as much of their cultural land as possible!! It’s always been my fondest wish that especially the Native American land be restored to its rightful custodians. It’s the only way America will be preserved for people a million years from now!
Yet again a great doc! Im exited about what the field of archeology will bring to us in the future.
I Hope the scientific and academic establishment are ready for finds that will contribute to our understanding of are species history, and open for finds that may challenge our contemporary narrative.
Amazing, never heard of these discoveries before. Makes me think of the finding of Otzi in the Alps and my visit to the area almost ten years ago.
Richard King. It is hoped that you will also be able to visit here. Perhaps a volunteer to help find and locate finds that are now showing themselves, and share in the wonderfulness of such.
I love this. The archeological findings are fascinating and I want so badly for native peoples anywhere to be able to reestablish their history and roots and have a say so in artifacts collected for scientific research.
I may be guilty of mis-underlistening but OTZI is 5300 years old, I heard 3300. He is a fascinating study as well and anyone excited by this video should take a look. LOTS of videos about him.
Here ya go from Wiki: Tissue samples from the corpse and other accompanying materials were later analyzed at several scientific institutions and their results unequivocally concluded that the remains belonged to someone who had lived between 3359 and 3105 BCE, or some 5,000 years ago.[5] More specific estimates stated that there was a 66% chance he died between 3239 and 3105 BC, a 33% chance he died between 3359 and 3294 BC, and a 1% chance he died between 3277 and 3268 BC.[6]
actually what is unprecedented isn't the ice melting , it's the event that laid down the ice .
what event is that? From what I understand, the earth is more commonly in an ice age rather than out of it.
@@scotmcpherson I don't think anybody is sure . consensus science has missed the mark lately.
ok the ground under the ice tells a different story. what if , Earths electric potential is on the rise due to weakening of our magnetic field?
possible " climate change " with out human influence.
thanks for asking Scott. also something that's been of concern? all the megafauna flash frozen fresh still to this day? did you know?
in the Arctic, just around the region in question. what happened? did the earth roll over ?
@@cokemachine5510 consensus science? No no, you said that the ice melting isn't what's unprecidented, but the event that laid the ice down.
I am saying, I think you are wrong. It's well known that the earth is in ice age for far greater lengths of time than warm periods, so I don't understand why you made your statement. It's the exact opposite of what's understood.
And what do you mean flash frozen and earth flipped over? If you are asking how the animals got down into the ice, that's EASY. It's albedo....the ice is mostly white and reflects sunlight, whilst mammoths for instance are dark and therefore absorb light and it's heat. This means that anything that isn't boyant in water WILL sink through the ice when the sun shines. Quick experiment for you....Freeze a cup of water this winter and place a quarter on top of the ice. Place that ice outside in the sun. Even when it's 40 degrees below zero, the quarter will still slowly make it's way to the bottom of the cup.
@@scotmcpherson maybe Scott, I'm not going to say you're wrong, that's what we were taught in school right?
I have a feeling the Younger Dryas event gouged out the Grand Canyon, transporting the megafauna into a pile in the Arctic, not sure the mechanism?
seen it buddy, where do you think the world gets its piano keys ? billiard balls? most anything and everything Ivory.
coal with identifiable organic material , 1000s of years old.
like the redating of all the Glaciers of the world . not 100s of thousands or millions of years.. soooo concensus science either is dishonest or mistaken with hubris,
plays out kinda like this. so again, what happened Scott ?
@@scotmcpherson Mammoths and other contemporary megafauna did NOT roam about on icefields and glaciers, they were cold/ temperate mammals and something killed millions of these animals very quickly and very suddenly. This is why we can still find almost complete examples in melting permafrost today. This was a catastrophic event and not a gradual change in climate. I think this is what Mr cokemachine means when he mentions "flash frozen".
I have no immediate first nations connection and yet I feel incredibly connected to these stories as they link me to a time in my ancestors history which was no different from the experience of the people who lost these tools.
These shows make me question the whole climate change!! I am not a book smart guy but it seems to me like the Earth just does what it does when it's ready to grow and preserve itself and we are all here just for the ride.
I worked as field tech. Over the year I did that, we hiked miles and dug I don't know how many holes. Yet we found very little. I'd love to work on a project like this.
how long ago was it? Climate change is real.
Me too!
Just started watching this and found that those arrow head darts look like the one I have displayed a Cherokee Elder made, that I acquired from him many years ago. It looks the same. He did his work using the ancient methods. On the end is three feathers placed in an aerodynamic manner. He explained that these were thrown from another device and that they could travel very far, when I was first interested in the peace, he explained it was not a spear thrown from the hand but from another device. He was a kind man and I enjoyed sitting with him learning a bit about his craft. Pretty fascinating 🧐 connection to the Yukon and the Cherokee. Looking forward to the rest of this video. Really cool they found these so far north. Wow was just looking at Atlatl and people that throw them and they have the feathers wrong: they are attached with sinew only at the spine of the feathers and the main spines of the feathers is bowed for airflow. The feathers are not supposed to be attached like on an arrow. Brother Clayton made those as well and the spear / dart is made different for flight beyond what is being shown in the video. I’d assume the main shaft will not wobble with the proper feather placement, or I’m wrong. God’s Blessings 🙏🏼🕊️
Decided to measure if anyone’s interested Clayton was a Flint-knapper. This particular piece he made out of a straight bamboo shaft instead of carved wood like he did arrows. The piece is 72” long; 21/2” from the bottom is where the Turkey feathers begin attaching; their spines are 101/2” with 9” of split in half and trimmed straight feathers that are squared off on both ends; the spines are attached with sinew only on the spines and they sorta bow outwards. The arrowhead on the piece is 3” long with a rounded point instead of pointy and it’s a little over 11/2 wide. The jointed bamboo shaft is 1/2” across / 2” around and the natural joints are 8” to 9”. Bamboo doesn’t deteriorate like wood either and it’s stronger. The piece is very solid I doubt it wobbles when thrown in the traditional manner.
The rate at which I lose tools I would have been a gold mine to archeologists if I had been an ancient hunter....
LOL😂
Me too my friend
G'day, any Australian knows exactly how those throwing sticks work. They are called "Woomeras". I have seen films of Aboriginals from northern Australia using them and they can hit a kangaroo or stingray from quite a long distance. The spears that Aboriginals use are much longer and thicker than these darts and have no feathers. Woomera is the name given to a guided missile testing facility in South Australia operating in the 50s-70s.
Shhhh mate. Thats secret Aussie business.
Yes nothing happens there. Nothing!
In North America, they are called an Atlatl.. Same concept, different design...
@@chancethompson8686 yes we have those sites here in the Pacific Northwest. We have visitors at the site and they can practice throwing. We have petroglyphs as well at the site near the Snake River.
Australian indigenous peoples used Woomera for as long as 40,000 years.
very enjoyable program, was a joy to watch
Amazing Documentary. When the ice retreats, we find humans have been here long before. Who was driving cars to melt the ice enough for them to hunt up there back then? It's almost like the weather is a natural fluctuating mechanism or something...
well, of course it is. The further point being that the natural seasonal changes had been radically accelerated by human beings in their destructive behaviour, to the degree that the Earth is in Big trouble.
@@dehoedisc7247 : Complete rubbish, every decade in the past 50 years has had its label, from "next ice age" in the 70s to "acid rain" in the 80s.
"Climate change" is the new buzzword that some academics have have been pushing in an attempt to go green, there are hundreds in that community too afraid to speak up because when they do, they lose their jobs.
Im not suggesting there arent things to change, or think about, but this planet is in no way being threatened to the extent that many in popular media will have you believe.
@@repetemyname842 Nonsense. You infer that are there people with the notion that the "Sky is Falling" and that they have allies in the serious scientific establishments. And while some elements of national media certainly lean in the direction of "Chicken Little",these are in the minority in my opinion.
you weren’t paying attention. those ice patches have been there long enough to preserve what it has been preserving. if they had fluctuated (melted refrozen melted) those those artifacts would have been destroyed
people still hunted caribou across the ice. it’s not like these lands were inaccessible. but they were still ice patches
I’m really interested in how the ancient peoples figured out the whole “atlatle”. I mean, for the time they lived in that’s gotta be some pretty advanced stuff. Was it accidental, was it something made from necessity and then fine tuned? Really really interesting stuff that.
I bet some ancient guy with short arms got tired of his long armed buddy getting all the game and over an ancient clod beer figured it out.
It's a mistake to think of these people as inferior. They may not have engineering degrees, but they understood mechanical advantage better than most urban youths. It was pretty obvious to them in my opinion. They would've been more hindered by available materials than by understanding.
Oh I’m not saying they’re inferior, just wondered and at what point someone thought, “ you know, I bet I could get more thrust and distance if I figure something else out….”
I find it amazing that people believe they are more intelligent or creative than ancient people because we've had the advantage of tech bestowed to us... From them.
"We stand on the shoulders of Giants"
@@ryateo1 true. They had the same intelligence as us, and they were physically stronger.
Part Sami and part Viking born in Norway, but now living in the Rocky Mountains. It is fantastic to get such views into our ancestors after the ice melts.
I respect the nations, I have native American in my ancestry. After a certain amount of time history really belongs to us all. 🙏
So 9,000 years ago weather was far much better than today, and humans could live where now there is just ice and deadly cold temperatures. Amazing.
When you start getting heavy into geology, especially ancient geology, you start to see some major inconsistencies between what climate scientists and geologists say.
But for some reason the weather changing today is your fault😂pay more tax! Green initiative will save the world!😏💸
Climate change is a natural thing. However humans are definitely speeding up the warming climate and will be detrimental to future generations. I don't know the exact solution but our pollution is a problem.
Thank you so very much for this video very informative much respect for the native people for leaving such wonderful Easter eggs in the ice
Why does no one point out that this is absolute proof that the climate was so much warmer in the past that these northern areas supported hunters and large game animals.
That would not sit well with climate terrorists/ democrats.
It doesn't fit the agenda. We see it time and time again. Yet some scientists will mock "science deniers."
that was my first thought too.
SCIENCE DENIER!!! .....oh wait, what, you mean possibly the climate fluctuates naturally? Why have I never heard of that before?😉
They put the heating on???!
That copper pointed caribou antler point is astounding! The work that went into making just one?! Copper age reflected in how far it's usage circulated. Perhaps archeologists will find the remains of smelting ore at a seasonal encampment. Not surprising that we're making more discoveries with all the melt.
There isn't any evidence (that I know of) of copper smelting in North America. They did know how to heat and beat copper to shape. 5K years is very early for copper working in the New World
You're absolutely correct, so far we know. Trade would be another possibility. That might lead to trans oceanic discoveries. I just find it all quite interesting.
Copper around the great lakes is pure enough to cold forge which doesn't require as much heat as smelting does
@@missourimongoose8858 plus the fact the amount that has been removed from the island is incredible. A few years back the were testing the DNA of the copper tools around the Mediterranean sea and was traced back to Isle Royale which they say has been mined over 6k years. Then the story went quiet because they weren't suppose to be traveling and trading such distances. There are hundreds of stories from North American newspapers from around 1800 to 1930's that those buried in the thousands of mounds across America many were buried in copper breast plates, helmets and jewelry. Where it all went and those wearing it is anybody's guess but it sure didn't go along with said narrative. Looks as if those folks were dealing with a bit of climate change. Just imagine that.
@@dellingson4833 Robert sepehr has some videos on that subject which are pretty cool
The lady speaking at 37:10 is absolutely right about what she said. Any and all First Nation people found, their personal belongings, and everything else that's found on their land, belongs to the First Nation. No government should ever tell the First Nation what they can and can't do with their dead. My heart feels very good for what they were able to do for that man who was found. Welcome home, Kwäday Dän Ts'inchi.
I wonder if they’re documenting the orientation of the darts and arrows. It’d be interesting to see, especially in the steeper sections, as it would demonstrate their tactics; were they hunting down, across, or up the slopes, or were they avoiding the slopes for the most part?
with the finds coming out of melting ice, that may be hard to determine. Flowing water from the ice melting may have moved them.
I have no way to explain how absolutely amazing this is and I would probably pass out if I found any of that. I would pay a lot of money to be apart of those searches.
I'm sure it doesn't cost very much to go walk around on some ice.
Wow! Super intense!!
Yes, Atlatl darts can be hurled with great accuracy. I have watched an athlete practice with his Atlatl with the darts having safer archery-type target points, when I lived in Central Florida in the USA. I can see where this would be an outstanding hunting weapon for people in ancient Canada as well as probably all of the ancient Americas.
Aussie aboriginals call it a woomera, been using it for 000s of years and some still use it today
@@thebob3712 true as God
@@macawism Woomera been around longer... and work better! > Pam
Makes you wonder, why the Atlatl ( thanks for spelling it out for us) did not become as common as the bow and arrow. I know that the atlatl was found if not used in Santa Barbara islands and found in archaeological sites. But legends have atlatls in use. where as the bow and arrow are used. It certainly gives more credence to Pacific Island cultures that they made to Alaska and came back to Hawaii. Of course , I am stating this so i can be corrected. just love the world we live in.
Also modern day Atlatl equipment can be purchased at some archery supply stores and online. The Three Rivers Archery Supply online site has or had Atlatl supplies.
That is amazing that they found the relatives of the hunter that died on the ice. They must be so proud to know that their ancestor was so rugged and an adventurist without fear of the unknown.
THat ancient hunter did not have muchc choice It was get u p in the morning, gather your equpt and buddies and go hunting or go hungrry, for yourself and your family and tribe. until an unknown future time. So, they got up and went hunting.

@@oldman9843 old fool. Oetzi was found way the hell up top of the Italian Alps. With his hunting kit. The scientists who studied his stomach contents have written that the ibex he had eaten was fresh and had just been consumed when he died.

But not only are you an old fool who comments first without knowledge, you say things that can’t possibly make sense. Why don’t you look into subjects before commenting publicly on them?

Thank you for this posting. This is the a pitta me, at least in my mind of why I study world history and tools that are in the world of the making anthropological studies. This to me is just the combination of understanding the advancement and culture in the dissemination of knowledge and skill throughout generations. And now because of genetics and just our understanding of so much more this profound depth of revelations especially at this time and climate change is so much more important in acquiring these fleeting moments which might just get washed away if not made aware of to more peoples. Thank you so much for this I could not have been happier listening to all of this information. Especially to find out that people genetically related to the man discovered in the British Columbia region recently. Outstanding!
Can you imagine surviving that long ago that far north? It's fascinating.
I imagine they were nomadic, nobody able would stay that far north in the winter time
even worse, Europeans surviving the ice age. a time where ice was well over a mile thick over most of Europe.
Absolute ecstasy
Does the fact that we find human artifacts in places where the ice is melting indicate this is not the first time this ice has melted to this point?
No. Winter hunting. Are you trying to disprove climate change? Up until 10,000 years ago, and the last great Ice Age when NYC was buried under miles of ice, and probably no humans were in the American hemisphere, yeah, before that ice was probably not there.
People hunt during the winter on the snow and ice. I'm not sure what point you think you're making. During the summer the darker objects will absorb heat and sink into the ice. During the winter the objects will get covered with new snowfall. That's how things get buried in the ice.
@@squirlmy Not climate change generically but anthropogenic global warming. The fact that New York was there to be inhabited instead of under ice should be a clue. We’re in a warming trend, true enough, but it’s been happening for centuries and has nothing to do with CO2 emissions.
If you were interested in science, you wouldn’t jump all over someone asking a simple question. You seem to want to shut down discussion, not further it.
@@squirlmy The Earth is 4.5 billion years or so, and the climate has contantly been changing since its formation.
@@johnsmith-em2wp Yes, you are absolutely correct. Earth's climate has always been changing and will always continue to change. There have been periods of warming in the geologic past....long before man....that were much warmer than today. I wonder how the Anthropogenic climate change fear mongers will figure out how to blame us for that...!!!
This current period of warming is called "The Inter-Glacial Warming Period" and is what made it possible for Man to advance and develop in the Latitudes above and below the Equatorial zone with the longer growing seasons and learn to settle down and not have to depend on a Nomadic lifestyle to survive.
Planet Earth spends more time in an ice age; a glacial age, than a warming period. This is why the term " Inter-Glacial Warming Period".
Very interesting film.I have one question; did our odyssey of civilization goes to the right direction?
Would love to share this technology with my screen-addicted 6 year old grandsons. They immediately behave more engagingly as soon as we get them into the great outdoors. Humans are amazingly adaptable and clever.
It just proves that weather changes greatly and has since the beginning of history.
That is so amazing and wonderful to see these weapons from so many years ago ❤️
Twenty five years ago I attended a workshop on the attle attle, we all set to and made some really poor examples from hazel and were then encouraged to use them, with in a few minutes we were throwing darts one hundred yards plus with reasonable accuracy. I rather feel some one who grew up throwing darts with well made equipment would do substantially better.
Sounds like you were just about Yawning when you discovered how easy it was to reproduce ancient hunting skills.

@@davidprocter3578 ack ack ack ack
As a boy, I used to make throwing arrows, 2.5/3 feet long. these had a notch just below the feather flights .
