Couldn't the gold spirals have been for the batteries? Since gold would hold up better in acidity. I mean most knowledge was fairly well spread prior to the "dark ages" also I don't know how many items we've actually looked at as electro-plated. Everytime we say look these societies had technology it gets shot down, not really investigated. :/ I'm not saying it's aliens but we still have people saying Edison invented the light bulb...sooo....yeah. Great video as always and looking forward to the documentary.
Let's be real. Fidget spinners have no use... Their are only really selling to kids who think doing tricks with them is cool. In reality? They're pretty much a waste of money... And they'll have all our old videos and what not, a hundred to a thousand years from now someone will be like, "What's that thing in that old RUclips video?" Someone will answer, "Just a stupid fidget spinner, a stupid little thing the kids in the early two-thiusands thought was cool and thought people would enjoy watching them play with. Notice how you don't know what it is? I just hope you don't ever buy into nonsense like that..."
@@nd7042 not true. The original purpose of fidget spinners was as a stim tool (self-stimulatory behavior aka self-soothing behavior or tool) for neurodiverse folks. Typically autistic and ADHD/ADD people. Stimming is NOT useless or purposeless. It allows a neurodiverse person to process information, self-regulate and/or work through a challenging situation.
Does this narrator do any other channels? I listen to this channel when I go to sleep, but I'm running out of videos. Something about her perfect pronunciation and annunciation is very relaxing.
I feel like there must have been advanced human civilizations long before recorded history. Maybe someday in the distant future people will find ancient iPhones and have no idea what they were used for.
I feel Earth resets life through natural disasters much more frequently then we are aware causing large gaps in ancient cultures levels of development and technology.
This is the first I've heard about the writing on Easter Island. I had heard that they never had a written language and was very skeptical of that. To have achieved such technology, they had to have. Neat.

The Danish Spirals might have been a sort of hair-decoration. They could have been used on braided hair, or beards, to cover each braid and make the bearers head or beard look golden - if they used many of them. But if that is what they were used for I think it would be more likely that a person only used one or two in their hair or beard. You would have to be pretty rich to own, and wear so many that it covered all your hair. The cache they found might have been from the man that made and sold these items. Or perhaps that it was the collective cache of one village, and that they hid all their treasures in one place before an oncoming raid & plunder of the village - one they didn't survive from.
Yeah, either by some chieftain or religious leader/shaman. Probably wasn't an everyday "jewellery". But it is curious that they found that much "spirals" in ONE cache. They must have been pretty rich. Either way; it is pretty good craftsmanship, making these long strings of gold.
If I had to guess, the gold spirals found in Denmark may have been used for a ceremony honoring Thor and his wife, who in legend had her hair cut removed by Loki but replaced with a wig made of such fine golden strands that they behaved exactly like hair, but made of gold. Perhaps those excavated were part of a headpiece or even given out to young women as blessings of some kind by a Seidr?
@@chriswilson7211 the MCU does not follow Norse Mythology word for word. Hela is the daughter of Loki in the old Myths. In the MCU she is the secret first child of Odin.
Love your videos! Thank you! Is it possible, the Roman DODECAHEDRON as one of the the 5 Platonic Solids (& Romans took on much of Greek culture, in fact, hired Greeks as teachers to their young, learning Greek language, math, philosophy, etc) that this was a teaching tool of those solid forms, being one of the more complex, the sphere & cube, circles & triangles, more simple...but the extended balls are at the vertices, # of faces & vertices, part of these 5 main forms....
Happens to all of us. Okay, some of us. That's why I always keep newspapers next to the toilet, just in case... no, I don't do that. I buy toilet paper. I'll try to to send you one. Wait... wait... Hrngh...
mm. The dodecahedrons are intriguing. From the workmanship, it would be safe to assume that they would have been expensive, therefore they could be a luxury item for rich families, maybe something to do with spices or perfume. Architectural/engineering application comes to mind also - a series of graduated holes with a hollow centre could allow for the drawing of different size circles. It could also be something used for navigation or for tracking the movement of the sun, moon or stars, or possibly for projection of some kind - put an object in the hollow centre, shine light through the holes, perhaps projecting the shadow of an image in many sizes at the same time, or perhaps some of the holes would be obscured, which could suggest an entertainment based application. The only other application I can think of is religious/ceremonial, but it would be speculative at best. It would be interesting to know if any remnants of any material were found inside them, and if so what.
Perhaps the gold spirals could have come from an ancient form of a lathe or mill. Of course the first lathe wasn't invented until long after the Bronze Age but possibly a similar process was used
I have two comments to make. One is for the Rongo Rongo script, the other the Voynich manuscript. As you said, nothing is really known about the Rongo Rongo script. However, one board has been found to have writing that follows a pattern consistent with a lunar calendar. This shows that this one board at least does in fact encode someone's thoughts. As for why they haven't been deciphered, its a mixture of the fact that there's so few texts, and the fact that the modern Rapa Nui language (the native language of the Easter Island) has changed considerably since the time the boards were made. Meaning that the text they contain, assuming they do contain text, would no longer be intelligible. As for the Voynich manuscript, some progress has been made using a new technique for deciphering unknown languages. The trick is simple: people tend to borrow proper nouns into a language more-or-less as-is. This means that you can make some headway in deciphering a language by looking for names. Two were found in the text; they're both names of constellations, and they in fact appear right next to pictures of the constellations they belong to. The names look like slightly distorted Latin. Using the deciphered letters from those names, they then turned to a page containing a picture that has long been suspected of being a pepper plant. The label next to the plant turned out to be a slight distortion of the Latin word for pepper. It would appear whoever wrote this composed it in a slight modification of Latin. Sadly, no further progress has been made. But some headway has in fact been made, and its generally agreed that the text is in fact some kind of language. Though some have disputed this in the past, pointing out that if the text does encode speech then the writer used an unusually limited vocabulary. Also, the spellings demonstrate oddities like three identical characters appearing in sequence inside words (double letters aren't unusual, obviously, but no known language uses triple letters to spell anything). And I believe all the letters appear with equal frequency within a text, which would be very odd since vowels are always the most commonly used letters in alphabets. Surely if it did encode speech, then the letters representing vowels must occur far more frequently than the ones representing consonants. Also, there appears to be no limits as to what letters can occur next to each other. It seems every combination is possible. And as you mentioned, there's also oddities like letters only appearing once in the entire text. Another is that the vocabulary used suddenly changes almost completely in the latter half of the book, though some have suggested this may be due to a change in subject matter.
Saying that the supet advanced alphabet of the beautiful persons of color from "Easter" island, resembles "Latin", is racist and depriving the POCs from their beautiful colorful heritage. Even the very assumption that the primitive racist and patriarchal culture of the "Latins" can be considered worthy of comparison with any given POC culture is highly racist and insulting, only reinforcing the racist colonialist white patriarchal straight narrative that brought about Inquisition, Native American genocide and Jim Crow laws. Stop.
The boards could of and would of been translated. Except that when they found out there was still people able to "sheds some light on it" they were immediately destroyed/killed. That is absolutely terrible. The other manuscript I don't believe will ever be decoded, and things thought to be decoded has no meaning in this place. That manuscripts information and language is from a different reality then this one.
I definitely appreciate the work you put into this video. Especially the Danish spirals segment. It could serve as a great source of inspiration for a story I'm writing which involves folklore, the supernatural and the paranormal. Thank you very much! And of course, I wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas.

Electroplating wears off over time, I used to be a jeweller and for the "experts" therefore to say "no objects have been found that show electroplating" could be explained due to oxidation and years of wear from the elements. Especially considering that electroplating in ancient times would probably be extremely expensive and only be affordable to a select few there probably wouldn't be many surviving pieces to begin with let alone lost to degradation.
That's what I was wondering, it seemed like it would wear off. So saying that "nothing was found" seems silly, not to mention the huge amount we haven't found or are looking at it incorrectly.
@@onemightsay4622 Archaeology is a very corrupt field of work. Alot of the time they work to preserve established narratives and claim "debunk" out of spite when new information comes along.

"Ritual" and "ceremony" are the last refuges of archeologists and anthropologists who have absolutely no idea what they're talking about and no solutions.
You should include the iron dagger found on the mummy of Tutankhamen also. King Tut lived during the Bronze Age and the Iron Blade doesn’t rust. Scientists found that the reason is because it is made from iron that wasn’t from Earth but an asteroid. They have no idea how it was accomplished though.
The gold spirals are surely to cover coils or plaits of hair (as seen in paintings and mosaics), or finer ones to cover threads to create gold thread for tapestry and embroidery. In medieval times small sheets of gold were used to wrap around thread for this purpose, but perhaps in earlier times that was harder to make or use, so wire coils were used instead. Should ask of textile historians! Large coils also may have been a convenient way to barter gold, easier to transport than ingots.
New subscriber, loving the videos thus far. Just my opinion, but I find putting facts in the videos in text at the same time as you're saying something different is a bit of a waste. I don't pause the videos as I'm usually doing something else and glancing back and forth. As such, I usually don't read the text.
Welcome to our channel, and thank you for your feedback. We appreciate not everyone will pause to read, and that is okay. We just wish to contextualise images we use should anyone wonder why they are relevant to the video. Thanks again and best wishes.
Next time I'm unable to answer someone's questions, I'll just start babbling about "religious purposes." If a scientist/archeologist/etc can do it, I'll be in the clear 😤👌
Modern day scholars, researchers and scientists give too little credit to the capabilities of ancient peoples. Marvelous, thousands of years old items and buildings have been found all around the world and simply because we can't explain how they were made doesn't mean it's impossible for peoples of the past to make them. After all it is believed that ancient peoples were actually smarter than the modern day ones. We simply have more knowledge amassed over time.
06:13 ~ Perhaps it is a good idea to doubt any source that speaks in absolutes, such as "…solve the mystery once and for all…" or "…the debate is over…" The source is claiming to speak for all, or at best 'the majority', and thus chooses to present sufficient worth to be paid even a moment of attention, think do I.
Very good, as usual. But the title displays an attitude toward "Science" that is both incorrect and pervasive: it is the implicit assumption that Science is either a thing, or a huge miscellaneous bundle of things from quantum particles to ancient bronze artifacts. Science is a **process**, a specific use of mathematics and language to explain the artifact's meaning and their use. It is not that science "can't" explain these enigmas, it "hasn't" explained them, usually because of a lack of collateral evidence and not something inherently beyond solution. Most of your enigmas are precisely this. Egyptian hieroglyphs could still be impossible to read. The necessary collateral evidence, the same text written in a known language (Demotic Greek) for comparison was found on the Rosetta Stone. Many things are still mysterious for lack of evidence and not just this handful.
If possible, please narrate EVERY word of your videos...I love listening. But don't always know what that you have moved onto another topic when listening at night. Best wishes, James x 👍
Gold = drawn copper and brass wire were common during this time period. Gold “drawn” wire was popular as rope setting for all types of items at the time. Or, they might’ve been needed as fuses for alien spacecraft.
Great video. I think the Baghdad battery is a just a jar for holding scrolls. You can make a simple battery out of any sealed container I see no real evidence that it was used to produce electricity.
Whilst a lot of interest has been raised by that theory, there are many who would disagree and point out problems. With time, maybe it will be commonly accepted. Currently, like so many other previous theories which have in turn been thrown out, it is simply too decisive to be considered solved. Thank you for watching.
dodecahedron I think are used to assure standard diameter of wood. such as for arrows. to be carried by a fletcher or someone similar who inspected military standard gear.
Are the dodecahedrons not field mining tools? Carried by an estimator to figure out the value of gold nuggets or gems as they were mined, out in the field, before they were carried back to where the scales were located? In order to be able to be traded for coin on site? They just look like something a jeweler or a banker would carry, to me. Where they've been located, have those areas been known for precious gem mining?
Good idea, I also wondered if the gems or "glass" was obvious missing. There for the shinning of light through different ones. To what purpose, may be a "quality" thing or spiritual or entertainment.
So as to the Rongorongo tablets. There is another tablet some scientist or archeologist found in South America that are almost 99% glyph for glyph copy of that rongorongo tablet. It told of a big war but idk where that docu went...used to be on here (YT).
I imagine the dodecahedron served multiple purposes but mostly devoted to recreation or learning. The way people leave out a beautiful marble chess set its probably for a gambling game but also decorative. Also it can teach kids geometry and hand eye coordination and memory. Like recognizing if this side is visible then this side must be it's opposite. In high school I had a magnificent Latin teacher and the AP history teacher was also a latin scholar. It's amazing how similar ancient people are to us and to a westerner like me Romans are most relatable. But those 2 teachers went to actual "Latin school" here in the US 40 years ago. So we learned from them how to feel, think, and argue like Romans. They said when you dream in Latin that's when you get there. But Romans were people who loved their culture, themselves, and their advancements. The height of being Roman was doing more with less and out thinking others. And most important being able to relax. Dodecahedrons seem to fulfill that Roman attitude
Pity I can't observe those gold spirals up close. They look like they are chips off of a lathe. If that is true, a close visual inspection would reveal it as fact.
About the manuscript, The thing that trips me up is the consistency and sentence structure despite it being a "made up" language. Maybe something for AI to make sense of in the future. As much as I want to believe it's a mysterious enigma, I unfortunately believe the manuscript is a very elaborate hoax, so much so it boarders on art.
Dodecahedrons had different sized holes in each side right. They could have been a measurement device. Testing the circumference of different pipe sizes? Why the balls on the edges? I don't know.

You should include the iron dagger found on the mummy of Tutankhamen also. King Tut lived during the Bronze Age and the Iron Blade doesn’t rust. Scientists found that the reason is because it is made from iron that wasn’t from Earth but an asteroid. They have no idea how it was accomplished though.
Interesting, I'm going to look that up for my own curiosity
Your research into such topics always astounds me
The gold spirals are surely to cover coils or plaits of hair (as seen in paintings and mosaics), or finer ones to cover threads to create gold thread for tapestry and embroidery. In medieval times small sheets of gold were used to wrap around thread for this purpose, but perhaps in earlier times that was harder to make or use, so wire coils were used instead. Should ask of textile historians! Large coils also may have been a convenient way to barter gold, easier to transport than ingots.
New subscriber, loving the videos thus far. Just my opinion, but I find putting facts in the videos in text at the same time as you're saying something different is a bit of a waste. I don't pause the videos as I'm usually doing something else and glancing back and forth. As such, I usually don't read the text.
Welcome to our channel, and thank you for your feedback. We appreciate not everyone will pause to read, and that is okay. We just wish to contextualise images we use should anyone wonder why they are relevant to the video. Thanks again and best wishes.
Thank you for your content. :)
You are most welcome, thank you.
This is so cool! I’ve heard of some of these before. You guys did an awesome job on the video!
Next time I'm unable to answer someone's questions, I'll just start babbling about "religious purposes." If a scientist/archeologist/etc can do it, I'll be in the clear 😤👌
Modern day scholars, researchers and scientists give too little credit to the capabilities of ancient peoples. Marvelous, thousands of years old items and buildings have been found all around the world and simply because we can't explain how they were made doesn't mean it's impossible for peoples of the past to make them. After all it is believed that ancient peoples were actually smarter than the modern day ones. We simply have more knowledge amassed over time.
I really love the narrator's voice, very warm and scholarly.
06:13 ~ Perhaps it is a good idea to doubt any source that speaks in absolutes, such as "…solve the mystery once and for all…" or "…the debate is over…" The source is claiming to speak for all, or at best 'the majority', and thus chooses to present sufficient worth to be paid even a moment of attention, think do I.
Very good, as usual. But the title displays an attitude toward "Science" that is both incorrect and pervasive: it is the implicit assumption that Science is either a thing, or a huge miscellaneous bundle of things from quantum particles to ancient bronze artifacts. Science is a **process**, a specific use of mathematics and language to explain the artifact's meaning and their use.
It is not that science "can't" explain these enigmas, it "hasn't" explained them, usually because of a lack of collateral evidence and not something inherently beyond solution. Most of your enigmas are precisely this. Egyptian hieroglyphs could still be impossible to read. The necessary collateral evidence, the same text written in a known language (Demotic Greek) for comparison was found on the Rosetta Stone. Many things are still mysterious for lack of evidence and not just this handful.
If possible, please narrate EVERY word of your videos...I love listening. But don't always know what that you have moved onto another topic when listening at night. Best wishes, James x 👍
Whoever wrote the manuscript was apparently employed at the women's bathhouse. lol
I’m always so happy to see a new upload from you!
That’s FASCINATING !!!!!!!
Wood that 🎶 SING 🎶.
Really enjoyed thank you!
Gold = drawn copper and brass wire were common during this time period. Gold “drawn” wire was popular as rope setting for all types of items at the time. Or, they might’ve been needed as fuses for alien spacecraft.
I thought a father and son team had determined the voynich manuscript to be written in a proto Turkish dialect.
Forever in love with your videos and your voice
I know you guys don’t make nearly the same content whatsoever but you should collaborate with TRO because I like hearing smart sounding people talk
The gold spirals look like scraps produced from crafting gold objects.
Howdy
Voynich manuscript was recently decoded as a gynocological codex

Claiming religious purposes for ancient discoveries has become the biggest meme in archeology.
Alternatively: 5 bizarre discoveries that science hasn't explained yet.
Great video. I think the Baghdad battery is a just a jar for holding scrolls. You can make a simple battery out of any sealed container I see no real evidence that it was used to produce electricity.
could the gold spirals not have just been filings from a gold bar?
The Easter island script matches ancient Indian script which is also indecipherable.
Yaaaaaay I love your videos been subbed forever thank you for another epic video 🤗❤
Advanced societies do not use pictures for words.
I love your videos! Keep it up!
I love these kinds of videos, but when a mystery is solved, it is solved.
The Voynich manuscript was solved. It is an ancient dialect of Turkish.
Whilst a lot of interest has been raised by that theory, there are many who would disagree and point out problems. With time, maybe it will be commonly accepted. Currently, like so many other previous theories which have in turn been thrown out, it is simply too decisive to be considered solved. Thank you for watching.
Thank you for all of the research you do for us viewers.
Merry christmas to you dear 🙏💖😘
Thank you, and Merry Christmas to you and yours also.
@Nyla - Amara Smit Merry Christmas!

Those gold spirals strike me as "hair pipes"
Just a thought. Maybe the little gold spirals are some kind of hair adornment.
those gold spirals are definitely shavings off of a bronze statue somewhere
Except they’re gold not bronze.
dodecahedron I think are used to assure standard diameter of wood. such as for arrows. to be carried by a fletcher or someone similar who inspected military standard gear.
I was wondering how big they are. My first thought is that I could use that to measure pasta.
Nope
The gold spirals in Ireland look like D.N.A. .....
Are the dodecahedrons not field mining tools? Carried by an estimator to figure out the value of gold nuggets or gems as they were mined, out in the field, before they were carried back to where the scales were located? In order to be able to be traded for coin on site? They just look like something a jeweler or a banker would carry, to me. Where they've been located, have those areas been known for precious gem mining?
Good idea😀
Good idea, I also wondered if the gems or "glass" was obvious missing. There for the shinning of light through different ones. To what purpose, may be a "quality" thing or spiritual or entertainment.
Nope.
I find myself wondering what future scientists will make of whoopee cushions and Furbies when they discover them in a couple of millennia.
So as to the Rongorongo tablets. There is another tablet some scientist or archeologist found in South America that are almost 99% glyph for glyph copy of that rongorongo tablet. It told of a big war but idk where that docu went...used to be on here (YT).
Wonder if the gold spirals were used as hair ornaments
Wasn't the Baghdad battery proven to be fake?
What if the dodecahedron were portable doorknobs???
Roman water pipe fixtures for irrigation 🤔
I imagine the dodecahedron served multiple purposes but mostly devoted to recreation or learning. The way people leave out a beautiful marble chess set its probably for a gambling game but also decorative. Also it can teach kids geometry and hand eye coordination and memory. Like recognizing if this side is visible then this side must be it's opposite. In high school I had a magnificent Latin teacher and the AP history teacher was also a latin scholar. It's amazing how similar ancient people are to us and to a westerner like me Romans are most relatable. But those 2 teachers went to actual "Latin school" here in the US 40 years ago. So we learned from them how to feel, think, and argue like Romans. They said when you dream in Latin that's when you get there. But Romans were people who loved their culture, themselves, and their advancements. The height of being Roman was doing more with less and out thinking others. And most important being able to relax. Dodecahedrons seem to fulfill that Roman attitude
The "ancient" book was an encyclopedia in an acient Hungarian language, not so fantastic after all
Turns out the easter island tablets actually depict the world's first recorded erotic fan fiction
Pity I can't observe those gold spirals up close. They look like they are chips off of a lathe. If that is true, a close visual inspection would reveal it as fact.
Some golbecli Tepe glifs are identical to Easter islanders
About the manuscript, The thing that trips me up is the consistency and sentence structure despite it being a "made up" language. Maybe something for AI to make sense of in the future.
As much as I want to believe it's a mysterious enigma, I unfortunately believe the manuscript is a very elaborate hoax, so much so it boarders on art.
I thought the voynish manuscript was already been deciphered! You can confirm in the RUclips channel call The Voynish Manuscript.
Nope!
But why not check if you were right (which you weren't) instead of running your mouth and leave a silly comment, hey!
Dodecahedrons had different sized holes in each side right. They could have been a measurement device. Testing the circumference of different pipe sizes? Why the balls on the edges? I don't know.
The gold spirals could be the leftovers from the creation of something else .
I think those gold spirals were IUDs. For dogs? No?
5:43 they can use the thing to knit...
NO, dolt.
CLOWNTARD
@@frontenac5083 uhh yea the proved it could be used for knitting they made a pair of gloves using a replica... dolt...
