Fun fact. The 'ditto' symbol, two downward pointing lines to signify repeated lines of information, is first found in cuneiform tablets from thousands of years ago! We've always found writing pointlessly repetitive and time-wasting!

3000BC was the end of the Holocene Wam Period. Temperatures all over Africa were anything up to 4°C warmer than present, and rain forest covered a much larger area than today. The Sahara had been covered in grass during that period, too. As the desert spread, the First Dynasty of Egypt was just starting.
Narmer’s original capital was probably Hierakonpolis in the south. Unlike Lower (i.e. northern) Egypt, Which consisted mainly of the flat, highly fertile Nile Delta, Upper (i.e. southern) Egypt covered more rugged land and probably bred a hardier race of people. Already by about 3200 B. C., the inhabitants of both Upper and Lower Egypt were at a fairly advanced state of Civilization. They could make copper as well as stone weapons. They could write. They were capable of producing works of art such as the Slate Palette of Narmer and the famous ivory Mace-head of Hierakonpolis, both of which are carved with scenes apparently depicting Narmer’s conquest of Lower Egypt. The Slate Palette of Narmer found at Hierakonpolis (c 3000 BC) is one of the most important historical documents discovered in Egypt. On one side there is a scene showing Narmer walking in procession, preceded by his attendants; on the same panel are rows of decapitated corpses of his enemies. Another section on the same side of the palette shows the pharaoh, in the form of a bull, demolishing an enemy fortress. On the reverse side, Narmer is shown in an attitude typical of that adopted by later pharaohs, with one hand grasping the hair of a kneeling captive, the other holding a club. Beneath this the king’s enemies are shown in flight. The date of the palette is between 3200 and 3000 BC and the primitive hieroglyphs on the stone spell out the name Nar-Mer.
Global temperatures were 5 degrees warmer than the last glacial maximum, not the present. Even in the warmest century of the HCO (roughly 4500 BCE) temperatures were still about half a degree cooler than the present.
Geomagnetic anomalies might not be significant from a biological standpoint for humans, but if you are an animal like a pigeon who uses the earth's magnetic field to navigate then rapidly changing magnetic anomalies are hugely significant
Considering that one of the early sharp upswings happened a bit after the late bronze age collapse, it's possible that the _cause_ actually could have somehow affected humanity, maybe through climate or vulcanism.
Pigeons actually use a complex combination of factors for orientation. The magnetic field is just one of many factors, and how important it is differs from individual to individual. Other factors include landscape features (especially rivers and nowadays also major roads) and of course the sun. Changes in the magnetic field are unlikely to do much damage to the orientation of most pigeons, especially if it's something as simple as an inversion, which the pigeon can (presumably) easily detect and correct for. If the magnetic field gets stronger for a while, I would expect orientation by magnetic field temporarily to become easier, potentially making a few individuals struggle to adapt after the situation normalizes. In this case I wouldn't expect much of an overall impact, either.
@johaquila So you agree that a change in magnetic field would affect biological life then. Things I didn't mention are that a stronger local magnet would push outwards more and change the angle of the field, that would definitely mess with pigeon navigation, but it would also interfere with light polarisation and that would also cause problems to some animals. One thing the study couldn't answer was how stable was the change in field - eg hourly or daily fluctuations would just give an averaged out figure.
That chart at 6:21, showing the historical strength of earth's magnetic field, is interesting. I just watched this other video where a director of a museum was saying that C-14 dating is quite exact from our time to until about 1400 B.C, but that the offset grows larger with any organic materials older than approximately 1400 BC. The amount of radioactive C-14 in our atmosphere is affected by the amount of cosmic radiation we receive on the ground. And the cosmic radiation is normally blocked by our magnetosphere (stronger magnetic field equals less cosmic radiation). That chart shows that the magnetic field was even weaker before about 1400; so perhaps that has something to do with the larger offset in the C-14 dating.
The archeologists are going to love this new technique as clay in pottery form is abundant in many places world wide. I wonder if history will have to be rewritten in some cases, perhaps?
It’s always being rewritten, we make new discovers all the time. It’s ever changing and we are constantly learning more, it’s pretty exciting. The only thing I dislike is the people who jump to conclusions or conspiracy theories about aliens or high tech devices and such
I doubt it. Archeologists have a pretty consistent track record of either attacking or completely ignoring any discovery that contradicts their sacred text books.
@@michaelpacnw2419 That's how science works, until you come up with something that cannot be easily disproven. Then it becomes the new "truth" until the next upgrade.
Not likely. Archaeologists must be some of the laziest people on the planet, because every time new discoveries might be made, they bury them (literally sealing off caves). What we have now is all we will have until someone with a private army goes rogue.
Sorry for correcting, Anton, but cuneiform tablets aren't pictograms. The cuneiform was a full-fledged writing system, and that since at least 2500 BCE. Anyway, my Assyriologist wife will love to see this episode!
It's amazing that, in the 21st century, this has just opened the door to re-writing most of history. Yet again. I'd love to see this applied to the Beaker People.
Sumerian scribes were the first to use clay tablets to record transaction beginning 3200 BCE. Even before that tokens were used back to the earliest hunter gatherers who transitioned to farming in the Levant. It seems to me it would be relatively easy to calculate the dates of these transactions based on a combination of many factors. People who deal with the development of the tablets over centuries can probably tell you when and where the transactions were recorded based on the clay content, type of transaction, goods recorded, size of transaction and designated traders, etc.

Studies revealed increased magnetic fields under seeds before planting and under plants (with the correct N vs S orientation) can dramatically increase or decrease plant vigor. Possibly very interesting to overlay this magnetic chart with historical famines and wars records.
I love the video, but note, the use of iron and magnetite found in archaeological artifacts to date them corresponding to the magnetosphere is not a new dating technique, rather the innovation is being able to do it with much smaller traces of them rather than with larger objects which have these marks left by the magnetosphere in their crystal structure. So this is more of an innovation in an already existing dating technique. Being able to date sherds and other objects where the traces are so small will be incredibly useful for archaeologists.
clay tablets weren't exactly chiseled in - the soft clay was impressed with a stylus, and then later, by accident or by design, were fired and hardened to their current durable form. and they didn't also include beer receipts - one of the most famous ones was a complaint tablet from someone named Nanni who complained about substandard copper and rude service provided by a merchant named Ea-Nasir.
Yes, but no 'erasures' or 'additions' get made after they get written (impressed) upon. They harden up even before firing. Not many "tally tablets" around.
Change in earth magnetosphere strength induce changes in high energy cosmic rays reaching the planet surface. IMO that would also induce changes in the rate of DNA mutiations which could impact our current dating of DNA evolution that is based on a constant rate of DNA mutations.
You could say the same about areas with more natural ionizing radiation due to larger proportions of radioisotopes. Statistics works over the long term. Not every creature has the same lifespan, reproductive rate, environment, and susceptibility to radiation.

I have a question, could metal tools/fragments be dated the same way? Such as gold? If so i can see this be really valuable in dating seemingly out of place artefacts to see if they really belonged to that culture or was a inherited or traded piece.
Precious metals don't have a very strong paramagnetic moment. They really aren't affected by magnetic fields until those fields become so powerful they'd start killing things. Now, diatomic gold IS magnetic... but we're talking about just 2 gold atoms all alone. It occurs because each gold atom has an unpaired electron, which turn out to be more stable apart than forming a pair as often takes place with other elements. And thus, they take on opposing polarity, and thus the Au-Au cluster becomes paramagnetic. Interestingly, the stability of the unpaired electron of gold atoms is also why gold is quite unreactive, and this is also seen in the case of other noble metals such as platinum and rhodium.
@@aabbccddeeffgg1234 Not really needed. If a culture wasn't capable of smelting iron and various other metals.....they certainly couldn't melt and mold stone. Stone needs FAR more heat. If the used a substance like concrete........the lack of grains and patterns that you get from naturally formed stone would be obviously apparent. That whole idea is so silly even basic logic can disprove it lol.
No, stone is not melted with heat. A certain plant juice was used to form these strange looking blocks. It was not found how the stone was hardened again. Now, I dont know what to think of this. It is an explanation I can follow logically. Definitely better than the idea with heat. Best is, I keep it in mind, but I wont fight for it.
@@aabbccddeeffgg1234this specific debate is settled. If you cast stone such as granite or basalt, it will chemically not be granite / basalt anymore after cooling, because the formation of it requires very slow cooling and and high pressures for a geologically significant time. It would look dark and glassy, not like it looked before. you also could not crush it an make concrete out of it, cause this too would not result in the same look, strength and chemical bonding of the original stone. But the stones still are bent and have shapes that show that they indeed were soft and moldable once. The only solution to this is a currently unknown chemical process that softens them without heat. From the information available, it seems to be an unknown type of chelation, meaning biological molecules that are capable of temporarily reconfiguring chemical bonds in a way that makes the stone soft. such processes are know to be used by plant roots to dissolve iron bonds in stones to dig into them and access the minerals, and those chemicals are used as fertilizers for depleted soils and to flush heavy metals out of the body. ancient mythology also talks about stone softening, even some indigenous people today say that chemicals were used. Another concrete proof of this being a liquid with a chemical softening effect is the polished drops on the unpolished underside of the lid of a granite box in the serapeum in egypt. you have rough unpolished stone, but then polished spots that look like tiny drops, as if they accidentally dropped on the stone while trying to polish other surfaces by applying the fluid to it. there is even one box that has a fractured polished surface that show that the polish penetrated the stone a bit, proving that it was a fluid that chemically altered the arrangement of the molecules, cause if it was a mechanical polishing process, it could not show a penetration layer inside the rock. many polished egyptian statues and surfaces also look like some fluid penetrated into them, smoothing them off in the process, similar to coatings that are applied to wood, which penetrate into it and make the surface colors change slightly, and make they surfaces look smoothed off. some of the round drill cores also have impossible penetration rates and rough, big spiral groves, which suggests unreasonable violence inconsistent with precision work, but the same discarded drill cores are also polished and smoothed of, which makes only sense if the process of cutting it out accidentally polished the removed waste, which is consistent with them using the chemicals to soften it and then mechanically drilling into it, and the hardening afterwards accidentally left the smooth surface, which was at other times intentionally used as polish, or even just used to make stone sculpting effortless. all other possibilities can be discarded cause they are not possible and dont match the details, marks and peculiarities shown on artifacts. Im convinced that it would be very easy to rediscover this process. We could just take plants that live on soil that is naturally rich in the type of stone that is used or even live directly on those rocks if possible, maybe even microbes or fungi, and those are almost guaranteed to produce one or multiple chelates that could be used for this type of work. likely it was a mixture of different ones to achieve different degrees of softness depending on the work required. another approach would be to look at the chemical structure of granite and other softened rock types, note which chemical bonds they have in common and which ones are the strongest ones and provide the most loss in solidity if dissolved or reconfigured, and then try to find a chelate that can target that specific bond. Likely they have already been discovered, but there is no interest or investment in this type of science of very little. googling the topic of chelates makes it very clear that its not a topic of commercial or scientific interest
8:35 In this day and age a disruption to the power and Internet at the wrong time might very well cause death or injury for some. Or just cause a lost job and a ruined life/marriage. I’ve seen marriages that ended because of the early disruption from COVID-quarantine and work stoppages and such. It’s great to get more dating data and I’d rather we knew more about these magnetic anomalies than we do to mitigate the damage but I must say I am uneasy seeing those wild fluctuations so recent in our past.
In this day and age a disruption to the power and Internet at _any_ time will absolutely cause massive death and injury the likes of which would require decades to rebuild from.
Fascinating. I am very curious as to what the long term implications could be for the surface, particularly for the amazon rain forest should it continue to shift. Also kind of unrelated but made me wonder if chloroplasts can somehow adapt to use emissions with higher frequencies than UV for photosynthesis in a kind of extremophile.
I wonder if gravity was different back when dinosaurs were so huge. Anton would you please do a video about this? Can gravity change on a planet over time?
It's called the electromagnetic force because magnetism arises from electrical current, i.e. flowing charged particles. Note that the electromagnetic force is many orders of magnitude larger than gravitational forces. It is, and always has been, an electrical universe.
This is a fair point to consider, although I'm not certain I agree yet with the notion that gravity is not a force. I know that's the explanation given to make Einstein right, but it still seems like a thumb on the scale to me. I don't really know because no one really knows, contrary to what the mainstream claims. @@WideCuriosity
@@WideCuriosity Gravity, Magnetism and Light are like one force in different states, like matter has solid,liquid and gas, they all can interact and distort one another.
As a potter with a profound interest in ancient objects, I'm interested in how this technique might be used when objects under test do not already have a specified date. I wonder if there were older or more recent spikes in the magnetic field that they might have an impact on the contents of the clay. Magnetism is not usually regarded as a one way mechanism like a switch, so what's to stop other magnetic incidents from undoing what one specific event has caused?
My understanding is that while in the clay, the iron is fairly stable, but once exposed to heat, the iron "aligns" with the existing magnetic field. Once the clay is fired and is now effectively "stone", it's much harder to change the iron. I suppose it's possible under enough heat to turn the "rock" into magma, but at that point, it's just a lump and unless it's known to be an ex-tablet, there's no reason to test as it could simply be a millions-of-years-old rock from a volcano. Technically I'm sure they could do this with any pottery or perhaps fired bricks (do they do that to bricks for making homes?) but without some indication of the date of the firing of the clay, it's really hard to judge. Perhaps in extremely ancient fired clay (campfire on a river bank?) they might use stratification to identify what's in the dirt above and below the sample and use that to get an approximate age. SCIENCE!
If we are measuring from the present, 3000 BC is *5,000* years ago, not *3,000." Other than that, this is a fascinating report on new dating techniques not depending on either organic matter or radioactivity. 🙂
In addition to all those clay tablets detailing beer receipts and other administrative minutiae was one showing pythagorean triplets which was used to solve trigonometric problems in a novel and different way which confirms their understanding of pythagoras's theorem about 1,000 years before he was born. So it really should be called the ancient Babylonian theorem.
Beer must be as old as HomoSapiens. Perhaps the Neanderthals tought us this. Beer and bread. Dont need farms. The grains were collected while walking on. In these old Turkish sites was much evidence for both. The science of burnt food in/on old potterie is very young and will give us many future surprizes too.
I wonder if they could check to see if the pyramids were affected by this. Or artifacts found around Giza. May give us more evidence that the pyramids are older than the experts claim.
What other evidence leads you to believe they are older than what they claim? There’s a ton of evidence that point to their age, which the entire field has agreed on the current consensus.
No, the key reason pottery works is because the substances have to be heated to extreme heat within magnetic fields to record those conditions. Pottery is fired in a kiln........so it works. The building blocks of the pyramids are not fired so they wont retain that information. Unless they're volcanic rock in which case they'll record the magnetic sphere at the time of the rocks creation, not the building of the pyramid. Although.........a lot of the rock mining did use fire to heat and rapidly cool stone in order to fracture harder stone to remove it easier. So if that fire was hot enough some of the stones or shards might retain some trace information. They just used normal wood fires in open air however so it may never have been hot enough. Who knows though there may be some items out there that did get hot enough. That would be amazing.
@@MetastaticMaladiesthe pyramids could be much older. These theories often point to geological evidence, such as erosion patterns that indicate exposure to long periods of rainfall, which hasn't occurred in the Giza region since the last Ice Age (ending around 10,000 BC). Other arguments include interpretations of astronomical alignments and ancient texts.
Too many archeologist have massive egos and have staked their careers and published books on their current interpretation of when the pyramids were built. They will ignore any evidence to the contrary, and attack anyone suggesting an older date. With new dating methods we could easily tell the date the pyramids were built. Luminescence dating is a relatively new method that dates the last time a stone was exposed to the sun. All they need to do is drill a core sample on the seam of two stone blocks (so you get a sample of the block edges right on the seam that's not seen daylight since they were placed together) and you'd have a true date of construction... but I'm not holding my breath. Too many people have too much to lose if they're proven much older than we think.
The first tablet shown is a proto-cuneiform tablet, in the later epochs the signs became more stylized and were written really in wedges (Lat. cuneus). And on this tablet, the hieroglyphs are still rather pictorial. So, in the lower left corner one can recognize a drawing of a human head with a bowl, a hieroglyph which was used to express the word "eat".
Anton you remember me of John Clark an excellent physicist from Berkeley. He dared to present what he considered as a private joke in a conference about non equilibrium superconductivity. His topic was chaos in Nil water level as measured for over 5000 years by Egyptians...
Recalling that magnetism is a phenomenon INSEPARABLE from Electricity, It seems logical to think that the Strength of our Planet's magnetic field could be enhanced by certain variations in the SUN's activities: CMEs, Streaming particles from events originating from various regions of the Sun's layers, or from the Corona.
You are correct, of course. It's worth noting this same fact is also conveniently overlooked in the matter of large-scale magnetic forces found throughout the cosmos. Why is that? Because the conventional model relies on gravity as the primary force for the structure and ordering of the universe. The reality is, that it's the electromagnetic force. It's an electric universe.
I don't understand. Our fields are the motion of iron in the core. How big would solar ejecta have to be to leave significant lasting record above the the baseline of the variable core dynamics? Decades long spikes. Are we hypothesising decades long solar flares? Of that magnitude? I've not heard anything like that from star experts yet, but I might have missed something? I'm very interested to read your sources if you could share?
So when clay is fired into pots, iron oxidrd retain a magnetic field effect, not described, that indicates the strength of a global.or local magnetic field? How does that work? Thanks.
When a substance is maliable and then hardens, magnetic field directions are recorded in the ferrous materials within the substance. This occurs especially well within volcanic deposits.
I had a comment IMMEDIATELY removed regarding biology (aviary, insect and sea creature movement/migrations based on geomagnetics, along with a single word I won't restate & channel). So yes, I am surprised they allowed this topic by Anton, but that is because he only skirts the far edges of reasons for the anomalies~ True, accurate science is not YT's friend~
1. So what are the options where the magnetic anomaly isn’t caused by earths magnetic field but by surface level events or something in orbit 2. Wouldn’t there be notable changes in biological entities that use magnetic fields?
That’s is the exact time. That they have dated the iron meteor that hit Greenland lodged itself miles below the surface. Part of it was found in a museum and then traced back to the impact crater. This giant meteor smacked about the same time, and could also be potentially what caused flood. a giant iron meteor breaking into the earths magnetic field might count for one of those such events wouldn’t you say?
Could the Tablets from Tartaria, Romania, which were dated 5700 years before our era, according to the skeleton next to which they were discovered, also be dated by this method?
*From what I can tell from the animation paused at the **3:15** mark, the **_South Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly_** is located over the gap between the two giant masses imbedded in the mantle...* 🤔
Be that as it may, quartz crystals were found in the granite. Mechanical stress causes piezoelectric effects on quartz. A power source for a power generator.
@@evancole6863 it's not me that's saying so. The piezoelectric effect is not very powerful. It's just a buzzword pseudo-scientists use to try to wave away reality.
Might those changes have affected the climate in the 12th century BC, or thereabouts? If they affected growing conditions, they might explain the Bronze Age collapse.

Hi Anton! This is a real treat! ❤❤❤ this was so interesting! And as usual very clear and complete! Thank you so much! I'm sharing it with my history collegues at school! ❤❤❤❤
It makes sense considering we have always used commerce since the day we learned how to homestead areas of being nomadic. Beer was one of the first alcohols we figured out and it was also one of the first antiseptics used to sterilize water. Sometimes it was safer to drink the beer than it was the water. What blows my mind is that we are probably looking at a bar or restaurant order to a brewery. The amount ordered makes me think it was for a venue. I find this extremely entertaining and quite frankly amazing that we can find sales records from that long ago. It makes you wonder exactly how much history we are missing for humans to get to the point where they are recording sales transactions that far back in history. Of course I am not saying there was some kind of advanced civilization, if there was we wouldn't be leaving our receipts on Stone. I am merely stating the fact that the oceans used to be 20 m below the level they are now so imagine the amount of records that are still buried on the seafloor from when our early seaside towns and cities were flooded during the rise after the last ice age. We were already building structures and traversing large swaths of water at that time in history.
Everyone distracted by beer receipts, ignoring the huge importance of this topic. Look deeply into repeated historical geomagnetic excursions, their catastrophic effects and the cycles of our sun.
I swear. If things go really far south to the point of civilization just destroying itself… I’m going to impress upon my son to leave clay tablets somewhere that describe the more benign things we have. Cars, aircraft, boats… Then the other stuff, too. Things like radios, magnetism, and even electronics. Drawings of heavy equipment, descriptions of our tools… A daunting task? Nah. He is a carbon copy of me. He knows what I would do if I was his age, and things fell apart.
Indus Valley civilization was really important in that time period. Imagine the technology that might have existed but lost now. Those giant vase based battery cells are fantastic examples of what might be possible
‘Magnetite leaves behind a fingerprint of Earth’s magnetosphere’! 🤯 It’s one of my favorite minerals, no wonder it feels so good holding an octahedron magnetite. Considering the instruments we use, as well as our bodies; to detect the earths frequency can only get nice clear readings out at Sea or in the vast wilderness where there is no human made EM ‘smog’ or radiation fields!
neat chart! see the big inflection at the start of the Bronze Age collapse around 1700BCE (Harappa destruction.) Then another big runup starting with the razing of Troy and the Exodus (1250BCE).
How do you know that changes to the magnetosphere/plasmasphere don't affect living organisms? That's a very big assumption with no empirical evidence to back it up.

Geomagnetic anomalies might not be significant from a biological standpoint for humans, but if you are an animal like a pigeon who uses the earth's magnetic field to navigate then rapidly changing magnetic anomalies are hugely significant

You are a part of nature.
Which may explain why so many species of birds inhabit so much of the planet
Pigeons actually use a complex combination of factors for orientation. The magnetic field is just one of many factors, and how important it is differs from individual to individual. Other factors include landscape features (especially rivers and nowadays also major roads) and of course the sun. Changes in the magnetic field are unlikely to do much damage to the orientation of most pigeons, especially if it's something as simple as an inversion, which the pigeon can (presumably) easily detect and correct for. If the magnetic field gets stronger for a while, I would expect orientation by magnetic field temporarily to become easier, potentially making a few individuals struggle to adapt after the situation normalizes. In this case I wouldn't expect much of an overall impact, either.
@johaquila So you agree that a change in magnetic field would affect biological life then.
Things I didn't mention are that a stronger local magnet would push outwards more and change the angle of the field, that would definitely mess with pigeon navigation, but it would also interfere with light polarisation and that would also cause problems to some animals.
One thing the study couldn't answer was how stable was the change in field - eg hourly or daily fluctuations would just give an averaged out figure.
Another great video, thank you Anton!
That chart at 6:21, showing the historical strength of earth's magnetic field, is interesting. I just watched this other video where a director of a museum was saying that C-14 dating is quite exact from our time to until about 1400 B.C, but that the offset grows larger with any organic materials older than approximately 1400 BC.
The amount of radioactive C-14 in our atmosphere is affected by the amount of cosmic radiation we receive on the ground. And the cosmic radiation is normally blocked by our magnetosphere (stronger magnetic field equals less cosmic radiation). That chart shows that the magnetic field was even weaker before about 1400; so perhaps that has something to do with the larger offset in the C-14 dating.
The archeologists are going to love this new technique as clay in pottery form is abundant in many places world wide. I wonder if history will have to be rewritten in some cases, perhaps?
It’s always being rewritten, we make new discovers all the time. It’s ever changing and we are constantly learning more, it’s pretty exciting. The only thing I dislike is the people who jump to conclusions or conspiracy theories about aliens or high tech devices and such
I doubt it. Archeologists have a pretty consistent track record of either attacking or completely ignoring any discovery that contradicts their sacred text books.
@@michaelpacnw2419 That's how science works, until you come up with something that cannot be easily disproven. Then it becomes the new "truth" until the next upgrade.
Not likely. Archaeologists must be some of the laziest people on the planet, because every time new discoveries might be made, they bury them (literally sealing off caves). What we have now is all we will have until someone with a private army goes rogue.
@michaelpacnw2419 Sadly true!

That was interesting. An amazing connection between an ancient civilization, the core of the earth and the sun.
Sorry for correcting, Anton, but cuneiform tablets aren't pictograms. The cuneiform was a full-fledged writing system, and that since at least 2500 BCE. Anyway, my Assyriologist wife will love to see this episode!

Hello wonderful person
Hi wonderful person
Sumerian scribes were the first to use clay tablets to record transaction beginning 3200 BCE. Even before that tokens were used back to the earliest hunter gatherers who transitioned to farming in the Levant. It seems to me it would be relatively easy to calculate the dates of these transactions based on a combination of many factors. People who deal with the development of the tablets over centuries can probably tell you when and where the transactions were recorded based on the clay content, type of transaction, goods recorded, size of transaction and designated traders, etc.
Don't you mean 3200 BCE, or even earlier? Ever watch 'The Fall of Civilizations' ? A cool channel.

Studies revealed increased magnetic fields under seeds before planting and under plants (with the correct N vs S orientation) can dramatically increase or decrease plant vigor. Possibly very interesting to overlay this magnetic chart with historical famines and wars records.
I love the video, but note, the use of iron and magnetite found in archaeological artifacts to date them corresponding to the magnetosphere is not a new dating technique, rather the innovation is being able to do it with much smaller traces of them rather than with larger objects which have these marks left by the magnetosphere in their crystal structure. So this is more of an innovation in an already existing dating technique. Being able to date sherds and other objects where the traces are so small will be incredibly useful for archaeologists.
clay tablets weren't exactly chiseled in - the soft clay was impressed with a stylus, and then later, by accident or by design, were fired and hardened to their current durable form. and they didn't also include beer receipts - one of the most famous ones was a complaint tablet from someone named Nanni who complained about substandard copper and rude service provided by a merchant named Ea-Nasir.
Yes, but no 'erasures' or 'additions' get made after they get written (impressed) upon. They harden up even before firing. Not many "tally tablets" around.
Change in earth magnetosphere strength induce changes in high energy cosmic rays reaching the planet surface. IMO that would also induce changes in the rate of DNA mutiations which could impact our current dating of DNA evolution that is based on a constant rate of DNA mutations.
You could say the same about areas with more natural ionizing radiation due to larger proportions of radioisotopes. Statistics works over the long term. Not every creature has the same lifespan, reproductive rate, environment, and susceptibility to radiation.
The atmosphere also protects against cosmic rays. But the magnetic field is important to protect the atmosphere from solar wind erosion.

@@Shahanshah.Shahin It is from the game Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. A masterpiece of a video game.
I have a question, could metal tools/fragments be dated the same way? Such as gold? If so i can see this be really valuable in dating seemingly out of place artefacts to see if they really belonged to that culture or was a inherited or traded piece.
could this even be used to settle the debate on if some stonework really were casted in molds or mined from a quarry?
Precious metals don't have a very strong paramagnetic moment. They really aren't affected by magnetic fields until those fields become so powerful they'd start killing things.
Now, diatomic gold IS magnetic... but we're talking about just 2 gold atoms all alone. It occurs because each gold atom has an unpaired electron, which turn out to be more stable apart than forming a pair as often takes place with other elements. And thus, they take on opposing polarity, and thus the Au-Au cluster becomes paramagnetic.
Interestingly, the stability of the unpaired electron of gold atoms is also why gold is quite unreactive, and this is also seen in the case of other noble metals such as platinum and rhodium.
@@aabbccddeeffgg1234 Not really needed. If a culture wasn't capable of smelting iron and various other metals.....they certainly couldn't melt and mold stone. Stone needs FAR more heat. If the used a substance like concrete........the lack of grains and patterns that you get from naturally formed stone would be obviously apparent. That whole idea is so silly even basic logic can disprove it lol.
No, stone is not melted with heat. A certain plant juice was used to form these strange looking blocks. It was not found how the stone was hardened again. Now, I dont know what to think of this. It is an explanation I can follow logically. Definitely better than the idea with heat. Best is, I keep it in mind, but I wont fight for it.
@@aabbccddeeffgg1234this specific debate is settled. If you cast stone such as granite or basalt, it will chemically not be granite / basalt anymore after cooling, because the formation of it requires very slow cooling and and high pressures for a geologically significant time. It would look dark and glassy, not like it looked before. you also could not crush it an make concrete out of it, cause this too would not result in the same look, strength and chemical bonding of the original stone.
But the stones still are bent and have shapes that show that they indeed were soft and moldable once. The only solution to this is a currently unknown chemical process that softens them without heat. From the information available, it seems to be an unknown type of chelation, meaning biological molecules that are capable of temporarily reconfiguring chemical bonds in a way that makes the stone soft. such processes are know to be used by plant roots to dissolve iron bonds in stones to dig into them and access the minerals, and those chemicals are used as fertilizers for depleted soils and to flush heavy metals out of the body.
ancient mythology also talks about stone softening, even some indigenous people today say that chemicals were used.
Another concrete proof of this being a liquid with a chemical softening effect is the polished drops on the unpolished underside of the lid of a granite box in the serapeum in egypt. you have rough unpolished stone, but then polished spots that look like tiny drops, as if they accidentally dropped on the stone while trying to polish other surfaces by applying the fluid to it. there is even one box that has a fractured polished surface that show that the polish penetrated the stone a bit, proving that it was a fluid that chemically altered the arrangement of the molecules, cause if it was a mechanical polishing process, it could not show a penetration layer inside the rock. many polished egyptian statues and surfaces also look like some fluid penetrated into them, smoothing them off in the process, similar to coatings that are applied to wood, which penetrate into it and make the surface colors change slightly, and make they surfaces look smoothed off. some of the round drill cores also have impossible penetration rates and rough, big spiral groves, which suggests unreasonable violence inconsistent with precision work, but the same discarded drill cores are also polished and smoothed of, which makes only sense if the process of cutting it out accidentally polished the removed waste, which is consistent with them using the chemicals to soften it and then mechanically drilling into it, and the hardening afterwards accidentally left the smooth surface, which was at other times intentionally used as polish, or even just used to make stone sculpting effortless.
all other possibilities can be discarded cause they are not possible and dont match the details, marks and peculiarities shown on artifacts. Im convinced that it would be very easy to rediscover this process. We could just take plants that live on soil that is naturally rich in the type of stone that is used or even live directly on those rocks if possible, maybe even microbes or fungi, and those are almost guaranteed to produce one or multiple chelates that could be used for this type of work. likely it was a mixture of different ones to achieve different degrees of softness depending on the work required.
another approach would be to look at the chemical structure of granite and other softened rock types, note which chemical bonds they have in common and which ones are the strongest ones and provide the most loss in solidity if dissolved or reconfigured, and then try to find a chelate that can target that specific bond. Likely they have already been discovered, but there is no interest or investment in this type of science of very little. googling the topic of chelates makes it very clear that its not a topic of commercial or scientific interest
recent studies have shown that changes in the magnetosphere, DOES have major effects on all biological life.

Awesome show Anton. How interesting that these clay artifacts can tell us so much about the earths past. Wonderful!
It's called the electromagnetic force because magnetism arises from electrical current, i.e. flowing charged particles. Note that the electromagnetic force is many orders of magnitude larger than gravitational forces. It is, and always has been, an electrical universe.

Electrical waves and magnetic waves create each other.
Gravity isn't a force.
This is a fair point to consider, although I'm not certain I agree yet with the notion that gravity is not a force. I know that's the explanation given to make Einstein right, but it still seems like a thumb on the scale to me. I don't really know because no one really knows, contrary to what the mainstream claims. @@WideCuriosity

As a potter with a profound interest in ancient objects, I'm interested in how this technique might be used when objects under test do not already have a specified date.
I wonder if there were older or more recent spikes in the magnetic field that they might have an impact on the contents of the clay.
Magnetism is not usually regarded as a one way mechanism like a switch, so what's to stop other magnetic incidents from undoing what one specific event has caused?
My understanding is that while in the clay, the iron is fairly stable, but once exposed to heat, the iron "aligns" with the existing magnetic field. Once the clay is fired and is now effectively "stone", it's much harder to change the iron. I suppose it's possible under enough heat to turn the "rock" into magma, but at that point, it's just a lump and unless it's known to be an ex-tablet, there's no reason to test as it could simply be a millions-of-years-old rock from a volcano. Technically I'm sure they could do this with any pottery or perhaps fired bricks (do they do that to bricks for making homes?) but without some indication of the date of the firing of the clay, it's really hard to judge. Perhaps in extremely ancient fired clay (campfire on a river bank?) they might use stratification to identify what's in the dirt above and below the sample and use that to get an approximate age. SCIENCE!
They were right to check, even if had been the same. That would have proof of the same, rather than an assumption of the same.
Hello from under the South American Anomaly! Love History and Science coming together
If we are measuring from the present, 3000 BC is *5,000* years ago, not *3,000." Other than that, this is a fascinating report on new dating techniques not depending on either organic matter or radioactivity. 🙂
But it seems to be about things between 1150 and 500 BC.

Limited title space, inexact dating, good ballpark.
In addition to all those clay tablets detailing beer receipts and other administrative minutiae was one showing pythagorean triplets which was used to solve trigonometric problems in a novel and different way which confirms their understanding of pythagoras's theorem about 1,000 years before he was born. So it really should be called the ancient Babylonian theorem.
I another 7000 years our descendants will be wondering if we had a technological civilization the same way we wonder about our ancestors.
Beer must be as old as HomoSapiens. Perhaps the Neanderthals tought us this. Beer and bread. Dont need farms. The grains were collected while walking on. In these old Turkish sites was much evidence for both. The science of burnt food in/on old potterie is very young and will give us many future surprizes too.
I wonder if they could check to see if the pyramids were affected by this. Or artifacts found around Giza. May give us more evidence that the pyramids are older than the experts claim.
What other evidence leads you to believe they are older than what they claim? There’s a ton of evidence that point to their age, which the entire field has agreed on the current consensus.
@@MetastaticMaladiesthat's not true at all, there is a TON of controversy and evidence saying that they're much older. Or at least the Sphinx is.
No, the key reason pottery works is because the substances have to be heated to extreme heat within magnetic fields to record those conditions. Pottery is fired in a kiln........so it works. The building blocks of the pyramids are not fired so they wont retain that information. Unless they're volcanic rock in which case they'll record the magnetic sphere at the time of the rocks creation, not the building of the pyramid. Although.........a lot of the rock mining did use fire to heat and rapidly cool stone in order to fracture harder stone to remove it easier. So if that fire was hot enough some of the stones or shards might retain some trace information. They just used normal wood fires in open air however so it may never have been hot enough. Who knows though there may be some items out there that did get hot enough. That would be amazing.
@@MetastaticMaladiesthe pyramids could be much older. These theories often point to geological evidence, such as erosion patterns that indicate exposure to long periods of rainfall, which hasn't occurred in the Giza region since the last Ice Age (ending around 10,000 BC). Other arguments include interpretations of astronomical alignments and ancient texts.
Too many archeologist have massive egos and have staked their careers and published books on their current interpretation of when the pyramids were built. They will ignore any evidence to the contrary, and attack anyone suggesting an older date. With new dating methods we could easily tell the date the pyramids were built. Luminescence dating is a relatively new method that dates the last time a stone was exposed to the sun. All they need to do is drill a core sample on the seam of two stone blocks (so you get a sample of the block edges right on the seam that's not seen daylight since they were placed together) and you'd have a true date of construction... but I'm not holding my breath. Too many people have too much to lose if they're proven much older than we think.

Very interesting. So much to learn from ancient tablets. Keep your receipts, everyone!
Recalling that magnetism is a phenomenon INSEPARABLE from Electricity, It seems logical to think that the Strength of our Planet's magnetic field could be enhanced by certain variations in the SUN's activities: CMEs, Streaming particles from events originating from various regions of the Sun's layers, or from the Corona.
You are correct, of course. It's worth noting this same fact is also conveniently overlooked in the matter of large-scale magnetic forces found throughout the cosmos. Why is that? Because the conventional model relies on gravity as the primary force for the structure and ordering of the universe. The reality is, that it's the electromagnetic force. It's an electric universe.
I don't understand. Our fields are the motion of iron in the core. How big would solar ejecta have to be to leave significant lasting record above the the baseline of the variable core dynamics?

When a substance is maliable and then hardens, magnetic field directions are recorded in the ferrous materials within the substance. This occurs especially well within volcanic deposits.

True, accurate science is not YT's friend~
1. So what are the options where the magnetic anomaly isn’t caused by earths magnetic field but by surface level events or something in orbit
2. Wouldn’t there be notable changes in biological entities that use magnetic fields?
That’s is the exact time. That they have dated the iron meteor that hit Greenland lodged itself miles below the surface. Part of it was found in a museum and then traced back to the impact crater. This giant meteor smacked about the same time, and could also be potentially what caused flood. a giant iron meteor breaking into the earths magnetic field might count for one of those such events wouldn’t you say?
Sidenote, one of the pillars at Göbekli Tepe, the one with the animal, and the meteor has also been dated to that time.

It makes sense considering we have always used commerce since the day we learned how to homestead areas of being nomadic. Beer was one of the first alcohols we figured out and it was also one of the first antiseptics used to sterilize water. Sometimes it was safer to drink the beer than it was the water. What blows my mind is that we are probably looking at a bar or restaurant order to a brewery. The amount ordered makes me think it was for a venue. I find this extremely entertaining and quite frankly amazing that we can find sales records from that long ago. It makes you wonder exactly how much history we are missing for humans to get to the point where they are recording sales transactions that far back in history. Of course I am not saying there was some kind of advanced civilization, if there was we wouldn't be leaving our receipts on Stone. I am merely stating the fact that the oceans used to be 20 m below the level they are now so imagine the amount of records that are still buried on the seafloor from when our early seaside towns and cities were flooded during the rise after the last ice age. We were already building structures and traversing large swaths of water at that time in history.
