The one about the kid and the woman made me emotional. Sometimes when studying history you forget that people have always been people.
EDIT: why are people in the comments talking about nazis.
Just because hes a nazi doesnt mean hes wrong! Thats a logical fallacy! Remember Nazis got the USA to the moon!

The fact that for the first one the guy who said aliens made the Sphinx doesn't know what wind and sand erosion is and doesn't know it can still rain there is just 😨
I mean, the entire Egyptian civilization was built around the yearly flooding of the Nile. Its why most of what we consider Ancient Egypt barely ventures far into the desert. They didn't need to go far, they just went further down the river. It still fucking floods to this day, how is this guy so dumb?
Hey dude this is not even his claim, and the rainwater hypothesis is straw manned here and I dont like it, its actually the claim of a phd geologist and geophysics of Yale University named Robert Schoch if youd like to do more research, the actual claim is based not on the sand erosion this youtuber points at but actually to the enclosure surrounding the sphinx which is made of bedrock the sphinx was carved out of and is thusly the same age as the sphinx and has deep vertical fissures that Schoch found to be identical to the way rainwater erodes from top to bottom instead of that horizontal angled erosion that is clear on the front of the sphinx. Sorry for the rant, but its more nuanced then this guy convayes
I'm seeing a theme with lots of these conspiracy theories - people who have apparently never heard of erosion.
@@liamstevens703 Just so you know having a degree in something or having a higher then average intelligence is NOT magical protection against having incredibly wrong opinions about things. Michelangelo didn't believe in cleanliness of any kind, it was so bad his clothing had to literally be cut from his skin because it was stuck to his body. Newton believed in alchemy and thought he could create the philosophers stone. Just because you have a degree in something or are highly intelligent DOES NOT automatically make you right. Science is performed on the PREPONDERENCE of evidence, not one claim.
@@liamstevens703 agreed, the man in the video didn't even say anything about how it was buried for the last several thousand years you can't have wind erosion ubdergroubd
I've always been annoyed by the "aliens built the pyramids" bullshit because it completely ignores human ingenuity. Never knew that the originators of it were racist morons too, but it makes sense. I will say that the ancient idiots...idiots believe that Stonehenge was built by aliens too so they do believe at least one European site was ALIENS. On a side note I actually love the show on history Channel its fucking hilarious the stupid shit those people believe. However I wish it wasn't on the history Channel because that lends credibility to the theory, at least for some people.
a big part of it also comes from the fact that many people refuse to believe ancient civilisations could do things that we can't, half arrogance in our generation half fear of thinking we're not getting more intelligent in every aspect
There's also another "theory" that says that the ancient druids levitated the stone blocks using the geo-magentism of the ley lines to Stonehenge's site.
You can make it 2 European sites, pretty sure Erich von Daniken claimed a bunch of stuff in Greece was made by aliens
@@juandacharroninja I know it's bs, but that sounds like an actually interesting magic system for a fantasy work.
And they always only talk about pyramids yes its great but its not the only great historical place want example? Borobudur indonesia, tajmahal india, great wall of china ,
The Rapa Nui people didn't actually log all of the trees on Easter island, yes they extensively logged the island but it was another thing that they brought along that did most of the damage. The Polynesians Rat which loved to eat the seeds and chewing the roots of the palm of that grew on the island which caused the island to be deforested.
I could have sworn it was the palm beetles.
Also the Rapa Nui aren't extinct, their still about 60% of modern Easter Island's population. In fact there are more Rapa Nui in the world over all then there are people over all on modern day Easter Island
@@lloydgush nope it was rats, the palm weevil couldn't have survived the ocean voyage all the way from asia to any where in remote Oceania.
@@rotomfan63 i know I've met a few very nice and gregarious people, first time was a music band who came to my hometown in Malaysia to perform at a music festival the second time was at when i was studying university in New Zealand. The Rapa Nui women I've met have always drop dead Gorgeous and super fin to hang out with.
@@rotomfan63 yeah the disappearance of the Rapa Nui as the MegaMind Meme goes is greatly exaggerated. Yes their numbers were greatly reduced by disease and enslavement by the colonialiser but it still enough to recover to a viable population.
One correction: The native people of Easter island are not extinct. They certainly came close especially once Europeans diseased and slavers arrived but their still there.
Eh got a source on that one? Coz I have never heard that
:edit decided to Google it myself .. yep, enslaved them, then was forced to return them coz it wasn't legally done, but sent them back to spread small pox reducing the population to 111,
@@tmarritt Wait... that slavery isn't legal. Return them this moment or you'll be fined for illegal slavery!
Also not sure if smallpox was intentional.
@@georgethompson1460 Slavery was legalized 9nce upon a time and regulated. And in many cases smallpox were shown to be very purposefully spread. Originally sub Saharan Africans couldn't enter Europe safely because of smallbox and Europeans couldn't enter Africa because of malaria. Different groups with different disease resistances. So the Europeans were very aware that contact with local people will likely kill them off, freeing up land area without the need for a fight. There were also times that they sent their sick to the natives for the meetings, or traded second hand cloth known to have been worn by an infected, and all other sorts of devious plans to break natives down from the inside. Which is why it is genuinely recognized as a form of genocide- knowing you are spreading a plague but not caring because you want that ethnicity dead anyway.
There definitely was uncertainty about whether the island was abandoned and reoccupied by Polynesians (maybe even the dame ones) or continually occupied. But their culture that they used to have is good as extinct. They didn't have anything close to the material cultural evidence they used to. And you couldn't call the Moai statues as having been made by the proto-Easter Island culture, since that would suggest the past culture eas a work in progress and the current culture the final product. Too much changed for that terminology.
Thank you so much for putting this information out there. In discussions of indigenous populations it’s quite often to see it as a tragic collapse, but we should never forget the painstaking actions that surviving populations have taken to remain alive both in a cultural sense and a literal one too. You see this so much in the history of American Indians, it’s sad.

"There are actually Rocky Mountains that aren't in Colorado."
As a lifelong native and resident of Colorado, this statement is completely and totally offensive!
Don't tell the public our secrets! We need the tourist money!

Aren't all mountains rocky? I mean, they're made of rocks aren't that?
I had a hunch that conspiracies of Aliens developing civilizations in Earth was just a way to discredit the technological abilities of humans in earlier times. This guy just brought to light straight evidence for it.
These conspiracies also tend to focus a lot on pre-colonial black, indigenous and/or non-white civilisations like South america and Egypt (though there are a few exceptions like those conspiracies revolving around Stonehenge), since a lot of these conspiracies were originated by right wing people and white supremacists. Likely to discredit the idea that non white/European people and thier civilians were/are just as smart as their European neighbours and knew what they were doing.
Yeah, humans are pretty good at figuring shit out. Like Vikings accidentally discovered steel by mixing iron with animal/human bones. The carbon in the bones made the steel stronger but the Vikings didn't know that was what caused their weapons to be stronger, they thought it was strengthened by the spirit of the animal/ancestor used. I mean, they were half right.
Lets be honest, thus mainly if not only happens to non white civilizations to downplay the advances of poc
Pretty much the first thing you learn as an archaeologist
unless it is something shape like a phone, then "OMG, the ancient people are more advanced than we think"
Damn . . . . .now I have this unfinished story in my head about the woman and child. . . . . .
Right?There's also the possibility that something happened to the child or they were just being carried and its eating way at me and I can't take it
i like to think that they were just being carried.. comforting lol

I will admit that an ancient alien theory is cool for fiction, but ONLY fiction. Like assassins creed or something. Just as long as it isn't racist, or trying to pass it off as facts.
Even then it wasnt the Isu who built the pyramid. The Isu were all wiped out all that remained were underground tombs and structures.
@@Callisto8233 yeah, conspiracies like that are great for sci-fi, but the funniest thing is that in Assassin's Creed they deliberately made it so out of ALL things, pyramids were made by Egyptians themselves. Also, Isu are not aliens. They're high-tech precursors from the Earth. Which is doubly funny because the one place where ancient Aliens would have been perfect the devs still decided "screw them, they didn't build the pyramids, and aren't even alien". But you do find Space Age armor under the Sphinx.
I hope he makes a whole bunch more money for production because I like his channel but I feel like there’s a lot of potential for greater things and I can’t wait to see where this channel goes.
Definitly - but things seem to work out for him on RUclips: 110.000 subscribers after 6 month and only handful of uploads is quite an achievement.
He would deserve it.
hope he gets to collaborate with vsauce etc
It seems to be a hobby for him, correcting morons online. It seems his brain is destined for bigger things than being a Tik Tok/ RUclips personality (or least I hope so, not that I don't love his content)
Short fat otaku is a channel that debunks current things in culture

As someone whose parents spend their nights watching Ancien Aliens on the history channel and actually believe these conspiracy theories (not to the point of paranoia but yeah) and can't stand it myself, I love this man whom I didn't know his existence until now. Thank you.
Not being from an archaeological background, I’ve always thought it was pretty interesting - and by “interesting” I mean “racist” - that these theories always seem to fetishize some sort of “mystic” people of color: Egyptians, various Indigenous peoples of North/South America, Chinese people, Indians, Arabs, etc. “Ancient Chinese secret, huh?”
They do seem to fixate on Nikola Tesla though - which makes sense, Tesla was a brilliant man. But genius and insanity aren’t mutually exclusive, are they?
“Before Tesla died, he was working on free energy research, but the Illuminati destroyed his research!”
Alright, first of all, just because he might’ve been “working on it” doesn’t mean it was in any way viable, or that he had any working prototypes, or even blueprints.
Second, Tesla was nuttier than squirrel shit! Did you ever look up some of his beliefs and habits? I’m in no way trying to “cancel” Nikola Tesla, or say he was a fraud, but the guy was a eugenicist, and a firm believer in all sorts of mystic woo-woo. It’s fair to say that some of his ideas didn’t age too well.
And Greeks, and Atlantis. I'm not going to argue that racism isn't a major motivator here, but really most ancient civilizations are equatorial agrarian states that ended before any written source Europeans would have access to before the 19th century. The fact that this lines up with people of color is pretty much a tautology.
You forgot stonehenge, or wait... were britains people of colour back then as well?
Yeahhh. Not too happy with the magical native. (Disney‘a Pocahontas. Especially since Makota was a real child. Victim of colonization.)
@@georgethompson1460 thank you
I always thought the Devils Tower was a tree. I was like "wow thats a big fckn tree"
That's exactly what the natives thought. There is a story about a group of 7 sisters who tried to escape bears by climbing a large stump and the gods saved them by making it grow until they became a constellation in the sky. I'm definitely butchering the story and there are many versions of it, since oral stories tend to change a bit over time and place, but essentially its the same with Devil's tower being a really big tree stump. I don't blame them, I doubt the Native Americans knew what basalt was.
@@sapphirewingthefurrycritic985 i obvi didnt know what it was ever, like my parents did but i said i wanna vist the massive tree stump and their like "child what
Reminds me of this one conspiracy theorist on RUclips talking about the giant trees theory, or as he called them, "silica pillars."
Mushroom stalk
I'd piss myself if i a tree that big exists, and yes Redwood scares me. The fact that it has it's own ecosystem in its branches doesn't help either
Am I the only one that had this mind blowing realization that the story of the woman traversing the desert most likely is what inspired the movie Ice Age???
Small Child, Mammoth, a Giant land Sloth? I guess we're just missing the Sabertooth, haha.
Holy shit, I didn’t realize that. I doubt it was actual inspiration but a coincidence. But it’s kind of funny to think about how similar they are. Well except for the fact that the timeline for ice age is kinda fucked lol.
I love ice age.
As an egyptian/alien(according to tik tok), who have traveled most of Egypt and have seen all it's beautiful historical and archeological sites, such as the white desert, which is the best example of wind erosion in the world in my opinion, I want to say thank you for (for the millionth time) debunkingthe BS conspiracies that circle the interment.
12:44 My favorite example of this formation is actually in Ireland (and I think there is an equivalent spot in Scotland). It is called the Giant's Causeway, because of a myth that the Tuatha de Danann (People of the Goddess Danu, the native pantheon of Ireland) exiled the Giants from Ireland to Scotland using that formation as a giant bridge.
And of course he mentions it, not more than 20 seconds later.
I've been there once! It's genuinely incredible
The equivalent spot in Scotland is the island Staffa. As in, the whole island is made of columnar basalt.
ok but the “ancient aliens” shit makes me so mad because its so clearly racist. its ONLY ever non European civilizations that did amazing things that get the aliens theories slapped on them. “Egyptians HAD to have alien help they couldnt have possibly done all that on their own” “they couldn’t have known about this astronomical body, white people didnt yet!” etc etc
I agree but there are theories that aliens built Stonehenge in England too. But yeah the ancient alien bollocks takes the much deserved credit and respect away from our ancestors because morons think they were dumber than us. No, they were as smart as us they just didn't know what we know today. Put a baby from caveman times here with a modern family and they'll grow up just like you or I.
Agree with you but it is a bit strange that the coordinates are the same as light speed, big coincidence
That’s not necessarily true. Watch “the history of the world according to ancient aliens” and you’ll find it basically covers every culture on earth
(Note that this video is making fun of the show, I’m not a believer)
Supposedly the Aztec pyramids were built by aliens for human sacrifices
Or it could be because there are not as many monuments left in Europe but the ones that are, like Stonehenge, are also subject to these theories. But like with all conspiracy theories the most likely explanation is never fun enough.
"Talks like the burger king foot lettuce meme" should be in r/rareinsults. Oh my god.

I have recently come across your channels on RUclips. It makes me very happy to listen to you debunking all of these conspiracy theories in such a well-researched manner. You are such a contrast to the people you debunk who appear to have put little or no effort into researching their topics.
Near as I can tell this channel is just some garbage person ripping off Miniminuteman's content in an attempt to make some kind of profit.
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
How incredible is it that we can theorize about what an ancient group of people did based on foot prints left long ago
I am somewhat surprised he didn't go into the theory of the Devil's Tower and Giant's Causeway being the fossilized stumps of "world trees"
@serdownofhousebad1127 ...Except that the theory makes no sense whatsoever because that tree's branches would be in the TROPOSPHERE.

I just want to correct that the Indigenous people of Easter Island are not actually extinct, they're still very much alive and have a living language and culture. They were still on their island & encountered colonizers in the 1700s, & while their population DID drop dramatically due to a number of factors, later the Rapa Nui people just moved to Chile & that's where most of their population is currently, but they never went "extinct"
With the mother and child, wouldn't you want to be carrying your toddler through the hostile environment? You would still move faster carrying a ~2 year old than you would with it walking beside you, right?
Might not have been able.
Like he said the prints indicate that the child was carried for short intervals.
maybe the kid was heavy and the parent got tired
Ever tried carrying a heavy, wriggling toddler who you can't reason with?
They might have been carrying other things as well.
all those conspiricy theories drove me googledebunkers

alot of egyptian pseudo archaeology needs to be taken with huge amounts of salt mainly because alot of the "chambers" especially in the great pyramids were created by other "archaeologists" looking for treasure. the entrance to the great pyramid is one notable example

I mean, sea serpents do exist. They aren't whale sized though. They are modern snake sized.
One thing about civilizations predating the ancient Egyptians; we've found other civilizations that date back significantly further such as the Sumerians (6000 years ago) Gobeklitepe (12,000 years ago) and Boncuklu tepe (13,000 years ago)
Also the Sphinx and Great Pyramids of Giza are at least 12,000 years old.
Egypt is the "Noahs Ark" mentioned in the bible. The great flood (yes the same one that wiped out atlantis) was a result of the younger dryas comet impacts.
Yeah maybe they used similar construction techniques, there’s a vid on RUclips of a retired stonemason moving 20 ton stones with pebbles, wood planks and counterweights. There is no evidence the entire Sphinx structure or pyramids being 12,000 years old I have seen arguments about Sphinx foundation being older but maybe cuz that historically makes sense.
5:44 Well The fact that a lot of Human Statues are grasping their joystick says more about dudes who carve stone more than ancient civilizations... I mean a dude grasping his junk is basically Human history... We even have a favorite constellation with a goldmember in the form of Orion.
The Sphinx has 3 different erosion sources, none point to a super ancient origin. There’s the wind/sand erosion up top and along the inner walls, there’s also rain/water erosion that goes down the walls of the enclosure, and there is some flood/water erosion along the bottom of the enclosure from when the nile flowed much closer to the Giza complex and when it flooded ground water would begin to fill parts of the enclosure.
Imagine trying to protect and care for a tiny human ten thousand years ago, surrounded by mammoths and other threatening animals.
I can’t help but feel concern for this family and hope that the two were reunited soon after.
I’m sure these “freethinkers” think a race of Giants actually built Giants Stadium
I wish there was a "hall of records" under the sphinx. That would be such an amazing find...if it were true.

"There are not ancient aliens theories revolving around Europe"

large herbivores have been documented going out of their way to kill lone predators if they get an opportunity.

Well, great, now my immersion is *broken* and that makes me *cross*
There are places in the Badlands of South Dakota that show 100% similar erosion to that in the Sphinx enclosure, and the USGS itself, as well as any other source you can find, attribute this to water erosion. To me, the layers in and around the Sphinx are just showing ancient geological patterns that the builders revealed, and water did the rest. People use this is proof that this process of erosion happens over tens of thousands of years, to the Sphinx must be that old. As mentioned in the video, it does rain in Egypt. And if you go back 3 or 4 thousand years ago, it rained quite a lot, supporting a good bit of agriculture in the area. This part of the world goes through periods of wet and dry over millennia. It doesn't take a ton of rain to do this kind of erosion. The badlands area of South Dakota took millennia to erode, but it did so quickly in geological terms, having started as small escarpments along rivers. So, I believe it's entirely probable that the Sphinx is about 4,000 years old, and so is the water erosion in the enclosure. Sandstone and siltstone erode very easily. I'm a news sub, thank you!
I appreciate Milo so much, he’s the potholer54/Professor Dave etc. of Archaeology
A science fiction author pivoting to history on human origins?! You don’t say.. that’s absurd.
I need to clear my thetans just thinking about such nonsense.
“Oh my God, am I the Sphynx? ☠️☠️Killing me, Milo!☠️☠️
Even if a civilization existed in the region 5,000 years before the Egyptians as we know them it doesnt matter they didn’t build it. The Egyptians did.
it amazes me how arogantly he brushes off the sphynx as simple rainfall erosion over 5000 years.... BROTHER IN CHRIST IT WAS UNDER SAND UNTILL VERY RECENTLY
So you're telling me that because of white supremacists there are no cool theories about aliens centered around my country?
He’s telling you that just because 1) he doesn’t speak any language beyond English (like many Americans) so probably he doesn’t know how full of ancient aliens bullshit Europe is, and 2) because he’s a college age kid from deep-Blue Boston so naturally EVERYTHING bad on earth has to be linked to wHiTe SuPrEmAcY in one way or another (while the myth of the “good savage” has to be upheld of course).
@@adolfolerito6744 idk man, i'm european and i really know of 0 ancient alien stories in europe except stone-henge.also he didn't relate all those theories to white supremacists just the theories being pushed by that litteral nazi (and i don't use that term lightly, the dude litterally wore a swastika and tried to start a national socialist party)
@@adolfolerito6744 wtf does "good savage" mean?
@@falcon_arkaig it’s actually called the myth of the “noble savage” when translated in English, so my bad there.
It’s basically a concept popularized mainly by Rousseau from the mid 1700s onwards (never read the “Émile” or “Discourse on Inequality”?), who basically thought that man in origin was just an “innocent and pacific animal”, and that humans became “capable of evil” only later, after complex societies actually formed and progress corrupted the spirit of man from within.
But that’s the philosophical root of the whole thing. Nowadays it has become just a way of sugarcoating the history (and several other aspects) of certain cultures in respect to others by following the principle that “non-developed=pure” and “Western society=the root of all evil”.
@@marlonmarquez4798 Every nation has her crazy ancient alien bullshit, even when they don’t get funds to make it into an actual TV series.
For example in Italy you go from aliens being stored down in the Vatican since Ancient Rome, to the Sardinian alien ruins, to mad conspiracy theories with a race of demigod alien angels (the “Elohim”) at the center, to a waterfall of other similar bullshit for literally every region. In Russia there’s an avalanche of this shit just on Dyatlov Pass, Tunguska, Arkaim (the Russian Stonehenge) and the Siberian Traps. In Germany there’s everything from Nazi aliens traveling in time with the “Vimana” to the Goseck Circle and the Pömmelte Sanctuary (the German Stonehenge), and a load of similar things all over Europe from France to Ireland to Poland, Greece, the Ukraine, etc.
Even when working in Spain I had a colleague who explained to me in great detail how the Spanish government is completely denying access to a bunch of caves in the coast of Cantabria, keeping them a secret because there are “alien maps and alien graffiti that show how aliens created us to replace the Neanderthals”.
These are just those that I remembered off the top of my head, but there’s a gargantuan iceberg to go through if you’re as interested in human stupidity as I am :)
I love these videos but on the other hand it genuinely drives me crazy when people think they know, know for certain things that we probably wouldn't believe even if we knew the truth. Universe is big, brains are small and cannot grasp the vast unknown
Perhaps teenagers doing tiktok videos aren't the best representation for some of these theories? (or anything really, but that just my opinion). As far as I know, the Sphinx water erosion theory is in regard to the walls of the enclosure, not the Sphinx. The Sphinx, due to its shape and exposed location in the middle of the enclosure, is far more eroded and weathered than the walls, and it has been repaired on many occasions over time. The walls, however, have faired much better (in terms of needing repair), and have remained largely untouched. The strata are irrelevant. The rounded edges, cracks and rivulets along the top of the enclosure walls though (apparently) indicate that large or frequent amounts of water was running over the edges at some distant point. According to the original theorist, Robert Schoch, sand erosion and the small rainfall the region receives every year does not explain those patterns. Remember, the sphinx and enclosure has been mostly buried in sand for the majority of its known history. According to Schoch, those patterns of erosion (on the walls) must have therefore been caused by an early period of frequent rain and flooding. Which, according to the geological evidence of the region, predates the period that the Sphinx was supposedly built/carved. Since the enclosure is assumed to have been created at the same time as the Sphinx, this means that the Sphinx must be older too. Adding to this is the fact that the head of the Sphinx is oddly small in comparison with the body, leading to the theory that the head may have been refashioned into the likeness of the pharaoh from a pre-existing larger head.
Perhaps Egypts yearly rainfall in the periods that the enclosure has been uncovered by sand, and the sand itself, were enough to create those erosion patterns. I don't know. But I personally don't think it's unreasonable to consider that the Sphinx might be an older artifact than those around it. I don't buy the "no evidence, therefore bullshit" response. The erosion pattern is the evidence. Whether Schoch is right or not, is the question. I also don't just buy into every alternative theory that seems to make sense. But I do think some are worth considering. Because the sphinx was carved, is hard to date it either way. Just because some of the stone from the enclosure was used in nearby buildings though, doesn't mean that they had to have been built at the same time, or necessary, indicate when it happened. I don't see what's so crazy about considering that the people of Egypt before the great pyramids may have been more sophisticated than currently thought, and capable of creating the Sphinx, and also building monuments. Perhaps they created the basis for the pyramid complex, much like Stone Henge with its different layers of history from different generations of use, except in Egypt that early period was literally just covered up by the later expansion of it. Or perhaps there was some big disaster? I don't think that's an unreasonable proposition/speculation. After all, they went on to create the pyramids. And supposedly achieved a huge level of sophistication in a relatively short period of time. Everything else aside, this aspect at least is worth questioning I think.
I get that alternative theorists are a huge annoyance to orthodox historians, especially with all the sensationalism they create. Which is an aspect that, I agree, tends to stink of bullshit when they are getting book sales and doing tours and interviews, and netflix specials, etc. But still, amongst the quagmire, I think some ideas are worth considering. Tiktok videos though, are not helping either side by the looks of it.
For anyone wondering it's been recently outed that this man isn't an archeologist, nor even studying to be one. There is water erosion around the base of the Sphynx.
Thankyou kind person I hate tiktok (evil company) so I'm glad this is on here instead. I loved his videos and binged what he had on here

In case anyone's interested, here's some details/corrections about Frank Joseph/Collin. He did found the National Socialist Party of America (NSPA), but he was never the leader of the National Socialist White People's Party as Miniminuteman states, just a coordinator. He was actually kicked out of that organization when it was discovered that he's Jewish. His father Max was at Dachau and has written about this, and had he not changed the family name, their last name would have been Cohn. Frank was then kicked out of his own organization when it was discovered that he was involved in the sexual abuse of young boys, and NSPA members turned him in to the police. As far as I know, after that he was pretty much completely estranged from Nazism. It was when he got out of prison that he started going by Frank Joseph and writing pseudo-scientific new agey stuff about Atlantis and stuff like that. Pretty strange and messed up guy.
