Really nice overview on the topic! I think an important thing to note is, that even though people began settling down, hunting was still a large part of the diet, as seen when people were first settling down during early Natufian culture. Judging from the amount of animal bones found at Göbekli Tepe and comparable sites it is safe to assume that it stayed this way during the entire pre pottery neolithic.
Cheers! And definitely hunting was still a major part of the diet until fairly recently! I know quite a few vegans who say they would eat meat if they could hunt cause then they know the animal how the animal was killed and where the meat came from
It’s easy to be disappointed in mankind when you look on the internet today but videos like these makes me proud at how far our species has come and give me hope for our future
Well written with good illustrations. A professional quality microphone would have really brought this up to a professional level production. Perhaps if you re-recorded it with better quality audio and re-released it would be worth considering.
Same! I like had a loose knowledge about it but the more i researched it for a series on the early civilizations i was like this has to be its own video
Commented on one of your videos yesterday. Good videos. But consider getting a new microphone or changing your recording area. The audio sounds a little off
I kinda doubt Gobekli Tepe was "the first place of worship" They probably had places of worship before they built a monolithic structure for it, anything else is just harder to find, either natural places, made of degradable material or they are just still undiscovered.
What always fascinates me is that all of this was probably done by people we would consider teenagers today due to life expectancy and the dangers of the environment. And they say young people never amount to anything!
I still need a reason why it started around 10,000BC and not before. What was the reason? It must have either been technology or an environmental force (e.g. climate).
How at all can you believe the mainstream archeological narrative about gobekli tepe? There is absolutely no way that a hunter gatherer society just built a MASSIVE stone structure like that just for religious reasons whilst still being hunter gatherers. At the very least you need a massive surplus of food to supply to the laborers building such a structure.
When you said simpler and safer life at the end of the video, you are completely wrong. Hunters and gatherers had far more better lives. They had actual goals to achieve (like satisfying their biological needs)and were truly autonomous individuals. After farming was discovered, the farmers were in control and can control other humans and abused their power. They then passed on their wealth and power to other generations. The high priests and traders came in to create religions to also keep power and create crazy/ radical sacrifices and rituals. People then had to work collectively and lacked real goals to satisfy their biological needs autonomously, but rather vicariously through a large group. And lastly, the population exploaded, leading to wars, disputes, national/ ethnic pride, advancement of technology, inequities, slavery, depression, boredom ect. The once cooperative human species now turned into a fully competitive species. Before it was only Darwinism(intersexuality) that was the only competition. Now we fight amongst each other for toys and services. And it’s all because of the Neolithic revolution
Theres plenty of wrong things with your comment too... 1: do you think people would make their lifes worst for no reason? Do you think they were all chilling being Hunter-gatherers and then they all decided to for once become farmers? It WAS easier and safer to farm in the start, remember, it wasant a day to night transition, they still hunted and gathered, but they also farmed (and moved too, early neolithic wasant permanent setlements) 2: the human condition is naturally to live our lifes walking and living not stuck in a building 24 hours a day, so you got this kinda of correctly, however Hunter gatherer werent "truly autonomous individuals" they still had to cooperate with the group or they would starve I will keep reading the comment
The second part of the comment is by far the most absurd one, its reads like some soviet marxist garbage made my stalin himself, "the farmers were in control and can control other humans and abused their power" no they couldn't fontrol other people because they WERE the people, they werent any evil land owner capitalist farmers, everyone was a farmer because farming required a lot of people and effort, what i mean is that people didint farmed for someone they farmed for themselves
"They passed on their wealth and power to other generations" no because again the people were the farmers, they didint farmed for the land owner because land owning wasant a thing back then
"The high priests and traders came to create religions to also keep power and create crazy/ radical sacrifices and rituals" oh boy here we come No, this is completely wrong, its so wrong and in so many levels i could spend 3 days explaining to you, but i will try to simplificate: youre saying religion was created by high priests and traders, what is very crazy, since being a high priest requires a religion, the religion creates a high priest, not the way around, thats like saying you gave birth to your mother, wrong. Also religions werent invented they evolved from myths and animisms, in the stone age people believed in the forces of nature since thats what they observed, as astronimy, engineering, medicine and etc started to evolve people realised the world was way more complex than what they thought, the stars could guide us now
Now this? Youre putting all our scientifc advancements and progress in the same way as things like slavery and boredom? You seem to be actively working againts humanity, subjudging all our efforts and glory as bad things, people worked hard for millenia to give us what we have a people like you take it all for granted to spit the burden your failures and remorse in these people, Holy sh@t, thats how ungratful you can get, just adding one last thing, if you want to change the world, the best way to do it is not crying on the internet
Milan Pavlović the fertile crescent neolithic civilazrtion are estimated from 9000-7500bc while the first lower Danube traces of neolithic (the so called pottery people) are dated around 5500BC so somewhat around 2 to 3 millenia later. I do not think there is any qestions around those estimate either. as far as we know the fertile crescent is accepted as the starting point of the agrocultural revolution
I’m curious why all these ancient people are depicted as white-skinned in your illustrations? This seems extremely historically inaccurate as the Neolithic Revolution predates such pale skin by thousands of years. I’m not sure if this is just your own unthinking bias or if you’ve done it on purpose
illustration reasons. Its very difficult to do tan skin on my figures without them looking like oranges on a stick. I try my best to represent the cultures in jewellery armour ect ect. Closest i've managed to come to tanned skin is the skin tones i used on my Carthaginian Characters, but even then they don't look all that well, tanned lol.
@@graysonaudette3525 Yes i know, its the way you talk that is the weird part, this passive agressive tone makes your comment look like almost an accusation instead of an observation
@@graysonaudette3525 Yes around 6 thousand bc i think the white genes in modern humans started to appear, however the neanderthals were white but they werent anywhere near neolithic

Thank you for making another great production Dude.
We love your work.

Nice I am literally about to teach this topic and am going to use your video in class next week.
Very good stuff. Learned a lot bout this period. Im a much more learned on classical history so its nice to see that parts im not all to familiar with
Same! I like had a loose knowledge about it but the more i researched it for a series on the early civilizations i was like this has to be its own video
Love youre channel. I hope you will do more videos in this age
Thankyou! And maybe I will!
Really like your content!! Can you do a video about the galacians.
TY!!! I had to write an essay on this and I fell asleep in class last time we went over it 😭
Commented on one of your videos yesterday. Good videos. But consider getting a new microphone or changing your recording area. The audio sounds a little off
This is so good. I love it!
Finally, the climate will always be an essential and fascinating subject for man ...Great video, inspired and wonderful animations!
Thankyou! Was really proud of the artwork for this video!
@@AncientHistoryGuy You can be proud!!
@@philRminiatures cheers!
Neolithic Revolution is greatly represented in the game Far Cry Primal
I miss having time and computer space to play games :(
Thx 🙏 helped with my essays on the topic keep up the good work

Hail the Neolithic revolution
It is a nice surprise for you to make a video on the stone age
Surprise haha! Nah i was writing a script on the Sumerians, and whilst researching this period i thought i have to make a video on this!
@@AncientHistoryGuy it is a good topic to cover
What is the animating app
Great info, thank you
Don't mind me, just commenting so that your analitics improve, let's make the youtube algorithm spread the channel
I’d like to know what the walls protecting the animals were for? Protection from predators or from thieves?
Pretty sure it was thieves
What's the music in this video?
Can you tell me what does the game means?
I kinda doubt Gobekli Tepe was "the first place of worship"
They probably had places of worship before they built a monolithic structure for it, anything else is just harder to find, either natural places, made of degradable material or they are just still undiscovered.

i have an essay about this topic tmrw wish me luck 🙏
Thank you

Ty.
I still need a reason why it started around 10,000BC and not before. What was the reason?
It must have either been technology or an environmental force (e.g. climate).
The ice age was a big factor.

I think you underestimate the abilities of hunter gatherers
What society is believed to have existed that built Gobekli Tepe? I’m new to this, it’s a genuine question.
