This is one of the best history documentaries I have watched...and I watch ancient history documentaries constantly. I don't really know why except that I love it... history is enchanting, mysterios, fascinating, addicting. Thanks so much for this. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
More like this please. The new Neanderthal documentary was AWESOME and actually hadn’t seen it! Same with this one. More of these pretty please! Lol This channel is usually pretty damn great
@@get.factual thank _YOU_ for the great uploads and not sharing garbage like ancient aliens 🤮 I really enjoy the ancient history documentaries from UK and Europe that we don’t get to watch here in the states. I also love that most of the foreign language docs are dubbed instead of subtitled so I can listen to and learn new things as I go to bed lol keep up the great work and know that your efforts are much appreciated!!
Once again! Another spectacular video that's clear, concise, relatable and understandable to those of us who aren't scientists. Only one criticism: "... Lordship over the earth" ? A bit too cocky, don't you think?
I think you may have the spear bit incorrect as The Clacton Spear, or Clacton Spear Point, is the tip of a wooden spear discovered in Clacton-on-Sea in 1911. It is 400,000 years old and the oldest known worked wooden implement
Claims for the earliest definitive evidence of control of fire by a member of Homo range from 1.7 to 2.0 million years ago (Mya). Evidence for the "microscopic traces of wood ash" as controlled use of fire by Homo erectus, beginning roughly 1 million years ago, has wide scholarly support.
At 34:00 minutes on the video it states "through celebration man became sedentary". I subscribe to an alternat theory that through earliest experimentations with agriculture in combination with a nomadic lifestyle the health of a group would improve which lengthened life spans. So with people living longer and more healthy a group may have more elderly members. Its them that are more prone to live sedentary. A group may choose to gradually become less nomadic being that the elderly members would move slower, be less agile, stop more, and be less comfortable traveling. From there food preservation begins to develop. And that is what sparks the sedentary agricultural lifestyle shift.
I find it curious that scientists still use the use of tools to designate human ancestors, when it has been known for years that animals use tools as well
All these documentaries ignore Aboriginal Australia. This time its the spear thrower. Aboriginals invented it between 10,000-50,000 years ago, and is commonly called a "woomera". Mongo Man, a 45,000 year old skeleton shows signs possible signs in the right elbo from the use of 1. Cities: There is a large man made "cave" in Northern Australia that had 23,000 years of continuous use (It's artwork is astounding)
Archaeologists' almost neurotic fixation on the mastery and use of fire by primitive peoples is understandable. In a way this can be credited to the enduring cultural success of the Greek myth of Prometheus. But to do justice to the basic needs of human beings, we must remember that man can perfectly live eating raw food and defend himself by making instruments in a rudimentary way without using fire, but he cannot go long without drinking water. So what really made civilization possible was man's ability to find clean water and to devise ways to transport small amounts of it when needed. Thus, what really created civilization may not have been fire (something that, incidentally, can be used to kill) but the invention of the first water containers, probably made by women worked and sewn leather from animals slaughtered by the first hunters. But there is no beautiful myth that values this.
Yeah, the whole fire thing is pertinent because it allowed food to be cooked which makes it more digestible and far more nutritious. In fact, without the additional energy that was available to them, our brains would not have evolved in the way they did. It literally made us human. But to say there are no beautiful myths about water is not factual. Many ancient cultures and religions worshipped water, it was hugely important to them. It was a gift from the gods, without it, there would be no food. Without floods and or seasonal rains, the land would not produce. We don't think about it much in advanced societies these days but the way things are going, I think many, many people will soon realise that we can no longer take it for granted. Maybe there will be water worship in the future too....
Fire is not what made food edible. It made it easier yo breakdown the nutrients and killed germs, thus significantly increasing the quality of diet. It's also crucial to keep people warm, keeping predators away when one is sleeping, providing light at night. Besides the best way to get clean water prior to modern day filtration system was to boil it, something else that relies on fire. Fire transformed life.
Meh a lot of thumb sucking another docci using the exact same video footage suggests that Neanderthal was much better suited to the cold than us. That docci also implies that we were more advanced at warfare than Neanderthals were, because they only had stabbing spears. So what now? Does this mean that Neanderthals went backwards after Heidelberg man who apparently had throwing spears? And if the atlatl was so great how come none of the ancient civilizations used them? Going back to plain javelins instead?
Has anyone considered the meaning of the world documentary? After watching many many documentaries, I now conclude, these are best watched for entertainment not for FACTS! corn cultivated in Peru 6700 yrs ago, gobekli tepe active 10,500. how can the two possbily be linked accurately? Food for thought!
Gold, Copper ... no one will ever know which one is first. But salt! The first curency in the world - S-A-L-T and the oldest City (or/and settlement) in Europe is the same Varna culture, with the Varna gold. There is one thing that no one talks about it, but this gold its the first evidence of sacred geometry. The first time ever used the Pie and Fibonachy sequences. It has the same measurements that are used in the great Pyramyd at Giza.
Just struck me that it probably was not a great leap for a kid to think, "Wouldn't it be nice if we had raspberries all the time?" (E.g. "agrarian society".)
I wonder if it was burning flesh that got man thinking meat may taste better with fire? It must of smelt nice and got their bellies rumbling! Just a thought lol
I would like to know exactly how these things are produced. Don't get me wrong, I like these documentaries, but there is always a massive disconnect between the content presented by the academics vs the narration and the behavior of the actors in the dramatizations. It's universal for such documentaries. Whoever directs the dramatizations is apparently mostly ignorant of their subject. Example: 16:00 What is the columnar stick and straw thing? 16:09, that is the worst depiction of flint knapping I have ever seen, more like flint smashing. Unintentional comedy. 17:13 That's not how you cook fish. You don't even need to know anything about prehistory for that. I guess it's cheaper than waiting for the fire to burn down to coals. 24:29 Hand Stencils are done by mixing the ochre in the mouth and spitting it onto the stone. The way they are doing it wouldn't have stuck to the stone. Certainly not for millennia. I could go on...
Not to mention the size of the horses Heidlebergensis (sp?) Was hunting... or what he looked like... wouldn't have been white..yes.. there is a lot wrong with this.
So we've been sitting around smoky fires at night for at least 780k years and maybe over a million, and we still get sick from breathing even low concentrations of smoke. I know evolution is pretty shitty engineering at times, but I want a word with it about that one.
When you think about it and how the Bantu brought iron making to Africa they allowed non Nilotic Africa to leap frog past having a bronze age which Egyptian Nile civilizations went through on their way to the iron age. It makes you wonder how Africa might have been different with a widespread bronze age.
I hate it when they blatantly decry that Gobeckli Tempi (or whatever the hell it’s called) was a religious site while not giving us any detail about why they think it is. How in the hell could they know what people hundreds of thousands of years ago believed?
I think it's because there is no evidence of habitation. No hearths, no pottery, no tools, no animal remains that have tool marks on them, none of that. So if people weren't living there the remaining options are fairly limited.....
I was just going to say that! Look at 'time team's dig at Woodhenge. They found pigs, domestic pigs with tooth decay from sweet food, shot and roasted. All these maze structures were for HUNTING. The complicated permanent mazes were built at the beginning of farming, to make sure that everyone culled their livestock at the same time at mid-winter. They killed the animals hunting style because hunting is instinctive therefore FUN and early farmers must have missed it terribly. I just looked up 'depictions of happy hunting ground. Academics say it's 'concentric circles representing sun, moon and earth' .. No you indoors clots, it's a maze with a pathway into the middle and tortuous way out... Literally a Hunting Ground Sigh Or another comparison.. Does Gobeki T look more like a cathedral, or more like a Roman circus? Are the knobheads saying a Roman circus is a religious building now? Honestly they are so out of touch, don't know how they get funding

So many sciences are making bold, presumptions years go by those presumptions, become a rule or a trend or a fashion, and it’s impossible to break his rule, sort of unspoken falsehood, presume to be true and thousands of years ago by humanity, and lives in humbles of delusion of one man #Bogoslowsky
😉 ... and, Wandering Hunter Gatherers built Gobekli Tepe. "Mainstream Archaeologists" exhaust themselves creating the stories that fit their "19th Century Theory based Paradigm and Linear Timeline". While the "Standards of Science and Research " prohibits using a Theory as Fact. ... and I don't mean to sound Judgemental, it is really just Discernment.
Of course like all science this is all theory. Something they never say. 50 years ago I heard different theories. What I’m trying to say young people is never think you KNOW anything is fact unless you were there to witness it. And even then there are as many viewpoints as there are brains in attendance ❤
I really wished you deal more with their hygiene, how they bath and how do they answer the call of nature, this are question it seems nobody is interested in answering
how on earth do you expect people to be able to find archaeological evidence for such things? we know Rome had it all sorted out, presumably they were not the first. but to expect information like this about prehistory is not logical!
Saying they had a conception of an afterlife based on that grave is just plain idiotic: It appears that they buried him, put a stone over him, decorated the stone. That can easily mean they were protecting the body of a beloved comrade from scavengers, and enjoyed decorating it in memoriam. To claim this indicates ANY conception of afterlife is either incompetence or fraud. At best, an afterlife is one of an infinitude of possible reasons, with no chance of our guessing which is true.
I can’t think of another profession outside of archeology where ‘may have’ ‘could have’ and ‘probably ‘,would be so acceptable and frequently used. There seems to be an awful lot of professional people getting by with guesses…sorry getting by with expert guesses
Ice age / Stone Age treasures are popping up in Canada and Alaska from the ice melts. They need to update their information with new discoveries… North America is commonly ignored for these periods. The region has a lot to offer more recently.
Can anyone help me understand the profesores distinction between animals and humans? I am at a loss. Video time @ 3:43-4:14 Did profesor Ignacio say animals don't make tools but they used them? Also he said humans whomever manufactures those tools? You will rarely find this in the animal kingdom?
Human needs is the reason to create tools; MAGIC IS A RIGHT WORDS TO SAY IF WE DON'T KNOW HOW THEY DID IT THAN SAYING ALIENS. HEHEHE ONLY ASTRO PHYSICS IN THE AREA OF SCIENCE IS NOT TOTALLY COMPLETED SOMETIMES IS EQUIVALENT OF FAIRYTALE TO KEEP A NOTIE CHILD SEATED. Ancient human marked a hard working,
Great documentary, the only comment would be: We are talking about the history of Human kind, not men... Everytime you say: Man discovery..man this, man that... You are imprinting the image of Men doing all discoveries and progress. Actually we don't know who was doing the discoveries and developments, so we only could attribute them to humankind, not specific to a gender.
"Man" as Mankind!! Don't get your knickers in a knot. Of course, there were women. In Stone Age groups it was the women who kept them from starving in between successful hunts.
@nghiado9895 ah, thank you for reminding me of that comment. That was funny. Seriously though, if you have spoken English for a while, then you would know that when you use that term in that context, it has no gender. Like when you see a group of girls or women and you want to get their attention, you will say "hey you guys." Everyone of them will turn to you and say,"What's up? " Not "were not guys."
I am pretty sure it has to do with their holdings in that particular industry. Of course, whether it be Christianity or anything else, they always find a way to slip their tentacles/proboscises into their victims.
I get a kick out of the pseudoscience of anthropology. ...explaining the cultures of thousands of years ago by similar rock chips and bits of bone. Actually the invention of strikeable matches was the main advance of civilization, enabling human types to study at night.
The funny thing is the modern human is probably less intelligent than one from somewhere between the stone age and the Roman era. Intelligence and education with knowledge are two different things.
I don't think there is any difference in intelligence at all, for we are literally the same species since we've been homo sapiens sapiens. As you even argued yourself that education and experience (you said knowledge) are different from intelligence but still come to the conclusion that earlier man were more intelligent? How is that even possible? 🤨🤔😜
Yes, and additionally I believe that they severely insult the neanderthals - who survived cold weather way better and also had bigger brains 🤔 and survived for 100000s of years longer 😃
We’re for sure becoming less intelligent on average as a species. All of our technological advancements have flipped the laws of nature on its head. Survival of the fittest no longer applies. Just like idiocracy less intelligent people multiply faster than intelligent people in the current age. Plus the brain is a muscle and needs to be exercised regularly. we rely too much on technology.
i get so annoyed by the way the professional archaeology clique approach ideas about pre historic humanity. Humans have had big brains for a million yrs plus; homo neanderthal developed the biggest yet known, but we are fed these idiotic ideas such as neanderthals having only simple speech and no concept of art, and even of homo sapiens of 40k yrs bce having only simple language when they were producing art as fine as any of the old masters upon cave walls. Its just ridiculous! Just look at one of the oldest languages we know of - the famous proto indo european. It is a fully developed, complex and by modern standards, overly verbose language - more words than necessary not less. They have their approach all arsey versey - if the brain is the same or similar, so will the behaviours be similar. That should be the razor..
I think I'm going to scream if the narrator says "His" one more time. I'm fairly certain women were a necessity to these societies. "Their" would have been the suitable word. It's not difficult. Guess which gender wrote this script?
I just learned this in my anthropology class last semester so I'm not an expert but as humans spread around the planet, our skin colors changed to suit our environments. Around the Equator and other hot areas, people's skin is generally darker, which has cooling properties and also helps with the higher levels of sunlight absorption, whereas around the Global North and South and in other cold places, people's skin is generally lighter to help absorb more nutrients from the sun since they have fewer chances to get said nutrients. Early humans like Homo erectus and several later human species absolutely would be considered African by modern standards, both in where they lived and in skin color. It's only a couple species before Neanderthals that we see lighter skin tones become more prevalent due to the environments as it took thousands of years for Homo erectus to colonize the globe the way they did. I hope this has helped answer some questions as I genuinely love learning about how we evolved specifically and developed languages, cultures, religions, and other innovations
While the information in this documentary is excellent, the constant use of the sexist language that persists is very disappointing. The overwhelming use of "man", "mankind", "him" and "he" when talking about ALL humans or hominids, from everything including tool use, hunting, fire, art and migration would leave one believing that female hominids didn't exist at all and that the males were the sole participants and executors of the entirety of evolutionary evolution. Not a scientific approach at all, nor respectful of the monumental contributions of women to early societies. It's time these ancient archaelogists and film makers caught up. In the 2000s it's really not a lot to ask that an entire half of the population are referenced equally, considering the females were equal contributors (and probably even came up with some of the technology, raised the humans, gathered most of the food and the species' would be extinct without them). Terms such as "they" or "people" should have been used instead, it's not hard. Even my 8yo son noticed and was complaining throughout about the grossly sexist language. Let's do better.
Just as we never saw the narrator, we don't want to see the researchers and experts pop up on the screen like viruses. Let them stay hidden with the narrator. They may be experts of the subject, but they are not the subject. They are the narrators.
I'm happy to see the process of how they come to their conclusions. I certainly don't consider it viral. It's free content! If you don't like it, don't watch it! It's that simple, really!
Thank you, you took words out of my mouth, half of the screen time is taken up by these dummy talking heads, i want to see the content but no these people love the camera o their faces. Finally someone shares my thoughts!
Hey, eyes up here. It’s a dated grammatical convention not an intentional slight based on genitalia. No reasonable person watching this thinks that the narration about a species excludes women.
It really bothers me that this presentation is so misogynistic. He, he, he… never a mention or consideration for the wisdom of women back there and how they impacted the survival of these distant species!😡

"Mainstream Archaeologists" exhaust themselves creating the stories that fit their "19th Century Theory based Paradigm and Linear Timeline".
While the "Standards of Science and Research " prohibits using a Theory as Fact.
... and I don't mean to sound Judgemental, it is really just Discernment.
Stay tuned!
If things are new, this dienst mean it's well known for decades you just seen it for the first time.
Not to be mean, but the first word "man/male" figured out had to do with sex. The woman was the first to say "Not tonight dear, I have a Headache".
Of course like all science this is all theory. Something they never say. 50 years ago I heard different theories. What I’m trying to say young people is never think you KNOW anything is fact unless you were there to witness it. And even then there are as many viewpoints as there are brains in attendance ❤
I really wished you deal more with their hygiene, how they bath and how do they answer the call of nature, this are question it seems nobody is interested in answering
Crap in woods, bring a buddy to guard your flank.
Throughout history, the majority of people have thought that they could not swim.
That alone kept any sort of bathing to a bare minimum.
how on earth do you expect people to be able to find archaeological evidence for such things? we know Rome had it all sorted out, presumably they were not the first. but to expect information like this about prehistory is not logical!
Why are these documentaries so conflicting. 😮😮😮
Saying they had a conception of an afterlife based on that grave is just plain idiotic:
It appears that they buried him, put a stone over him, decorated the stone.
That can easily mean they were protecting the body of a beloved comrade from scavengers, and enjoyed decorating it in memoriam.
To claim this indicates ANY conception of afterlife is either incompetence or fraud.
At best, an afterlife is one of an infinitude of possible reasons, with no chance of our guessing which is true.
I can’t think of another profession outside of archeology where ‘may have’ ‘could have’ and ‘probably ‘,would be so acceptable and frequently used. There seems to be an awful lot of professional people getting by with guesses…sorry getting by with expert guesses
Curious, who funds these investigations? The folks that bring us our food and drugs. Just a thought.
Ice age / Stone Age treasures are popping up in Canada and Alaska from the ice melts. They need to update their information with new discoveries… North America is commonly ignored for these periods. The region has a lot to offer more recently.
Can anyone help me understand the profesores distinction between animals and humans? I am at a loss.
Video time @ 3:43-4:14
Did profesor Ignacio say animals don't make tools but they used them? Also he said humans whomever manufactures those tools? You will rarely find this in the animal kingdom?
But in those days we all were black.
Not Neanderthals. They had evolved paler skin to cope with the cold climate of Northern Europe.
Human needs is the reason to create tools; MAGIC IS A RIGHT WORDS TO SAY IF WE DON'T KNOW HOW THEY DID IT THAN SAYING ALIENS. HEHEHE ONLY ASTRO PHYSICS IN THE AREA OF SCIENCE IS NOT TOTALLY COMPLETED SOMETIMES IS EQUIVALENT OF FAIRYTALE TO KEEP A NOTIE CHILD SEATED. Ancient human marked a hard working,
Uruk or Ur? I thought Ur was before Uruk...in a large urban civilization and writing context...
When there is no fact - just create it....
When you don’t understand words just make a snappy comment to hide your ignorance.
This dude probably believes in flat earth lmao
This comment screams, "Were you there?"😂. Just enjoy the history doc.
Great documentary, the only comment would be: We are talking about the history of Human kind, not men... Everytime you say: Man discovery..man this, man that... You are imprinting the image of Men doing all discoveries and progress. Actually we don't know who was doing the discoveries and developments, so we only could attribute them to humankind, not specific to a gender.
thank dog for you, i've just commented something very similar. made me want to scream!
Stop saying "man"!!!!! They were also women... so please say humans... that's more representative of what happened. Thanks!!!!
"Man" as Mankind!!
Don't get your knickers in a knot. Of course, there were women. In Stone Age groups it was the women who kept them from starving in between successful hunts.
Were the ancient Europeans black?
Unfortunate that they kept using "he" and "him" when referencing the species.
Next time they will say sissy for you
@@salamander554 really troll?
@nghiado9895 ah, thank you for reminding me of that comment. That was funny. Seriously though, if you have spoken English for a while, then you would know that when you use that term in that context, it has no gender. Like when you see a group of girls or women and you want to get their attention, you will say "hey you guys." Everyone of them will turn to you and say,"What's up? " Not "were not guys."
Omg, get over it already!!
Sci-fi. It has nothing to do with reality
6:00 - now you know why elites REALLY want to you to stop eating meat, even though they wouldn't stop themselves ;) Cue the zealots lol
I am pretty sure it has to do with their holdings in that particular industry.
Of course, whether it be Christianity or anything else, they always find a way to slip their tentacles/proboscises into their victims.
Since when did ‘elites’ want people to stop eating meat??? Elite athletes? What are ‘elites’?
I get a kick out of the pseudoscience of anthropology. ...explaining the cultures of thousands of years ago by similar rock chips and bits of bone. Actually the invention of strikeable matches was the main advance of civilization, enabling human types to study at night.
Actually the lighter came before the strikeable match!
The funny thing is the modern human is probably less intelligent than one from somewhere between the stone age and the Roman era. Intelligence and education with knowledge are two different things.
I don't think there is any difference in intelligence at all, for we are literally the same species since we've been homo sapiens sapiens.
As you even argued yourself that education and experience (you said knowledge) are different from intelligence but still come to the conclusion that earlier man were more intelligent? How is that even possible?
🤨🤔😜
I just can’t agree with the definitions or the conclusion.
Yes, and additionally I believe that they severely insult the neanderthals - who survived cold weather way better and also had bigger brains 🤔 and survived for 100000s of years longer 😃
We’re for sure becoming less intelligent on average as a species. All of our technological advancements have flipped the laws of nature on its head. Survival of the fittest no longer applies. Just like idiocracy less intelligent people multiply faster than intelligent people in the current age. Plus the brain is a muscle and needs to be exercised regularly. we rely too much on technology.
Well, even if that was true (which it's not), I fail to find the humor... It's not funny at all. Perhaps English is not your first language?
Just regular rocks, not axes
i get so annoyed by the way the professional archaeology clique approach ideas about pre historic humanity. Humans have had big brains for a million yrs plus; homo neanderthal developed the biggest yet known, but we are fed these idiotic ideas such as neanderthals having only simple speech and no concept of art, and even of homo sapiens of 40k yrs bce having only simple language when they were producing art as fine as any of the old masters upon cave walls. Its just ridiculous! Just look at one of the oldest languages we know of - the famous proto indo european. It is a fully developed, complex and by modern standards, overly verbose language - more words than necessary not less. They have their approach all arsey versey - if the brain is the same or similar, so will the behaviours be similar. That should be the razor..
I think I'm going to scream if the narrator says "His" one more time. I'm fairly certain women were a necessity to these societies. "Their" would have been the suitable word. It's not difficult. Guess which gender wrote this script?
Why deny that they were black?
👊🏿💯
I just learned this in my anthropology class last semester so I'm not an expert but as humans spread around the planet, our skin colors changed to suit our environments. Around the Equator and other hot areas, people's skin is generally darker, which has cooling properties and also helps with the higher levels of sunlight absorption, whereas around the Global North and South and in other cold places, people's skin is generally lighter to help absorb more nutrients from the sun since they have fewer chances to get said nutrients. Early humans like Homo erectus and several later human species absolutely would be considered African by modern standards, both in where they lived and in skin color. It's only a couple species before Neanderthals that we see lighter skin tones become more prevalent due to the environments as it took thousands of years for Homo erectus to colonize the globe the way they did.
I hope this has helped answer some questions as I genuinely love learning about how we evolved specifically and developed languages, cultures, religions, and other innovations
This information is woefully out of date.
Crow's make tool's
What did they dream about?💤✨🌟🦀🐾🦇💃💤
While the information in this documentary is excellent, the constant use of the sexist language that persists is very disappointing. The overwhelming use of "man", "mankind", "him" and "he" when talking about ALL humans or hominids, from everything including tool use, hunting, fire, art and migration would leave one believing that female hominids didn't exist at all and that the males were the sole participants and executors of the entirety of evolutionary evolution. Not a scientific approach at all, nor respectful of the monumental contributions of women to early societies. It's time these ancient archaelogists and film makers caught up. In the 2000s it's really not a lot to ask that an entire half of the population are referenced equally, considering the females were equal contributors (and probably even came up with some of the technology, raised the humans, gathered most of the food and the species' would be extinct without them). Terms such as "they" or "people" should have been used instead, it's not hard. Even my 8yo son noticed and was complaining throughout about the grossly sexist language. Let's do better.
Just as we never saw the narrator, we don't want to see the researchers and experts pop up on the screen like viruses. Let them stay hidden with the narrator. They may be experts of the subject, but they are not the subject. They are the narrators.
Is that so? Who are/is 'we'?
I for one usually don't mind an expert bringing some context to the subject, outside of the narration.
I'm happy to see the process of how they come to their conclusions. I certainly don't consider it viral. It's free content! If you don't like it, don't watch it! It's that simple, really!
Just like the lines of text of the narrator. You never know, unless you do the research.
Thank you, you took words out of my mouth, half of the screen time is taken up by these dummy talking heads, i want to see the content but no these people love the camera o their faces. Finally someone shares my thoughts!
What a useless comment.
Those ancient people were black
His? His? No women then. Somewhat phallocentric.
Hey, eyes up here. It’s a dated grammatical convention not an intentional slight based on genitalia. No reasonable person watching this thinks that the narration about a species excludes women.
Why do archeologist always look like old broke college kids
Because they are old broke college kids.
It really bothers me that this presentation is so misogynistic. He, he, he… never a mention or consideration for the wisdom of women back there and how they impacted the survival of these distant species!😡
so much wrong info, its bad man
Please feel free to supply the correct information or list what is wrong with the video. Don’t forget to show your work.😜
@@jo-vf8jx thats a waste of my time, took like 3 mins into your video to find extremely wrong info, so I wont waste anymore time on this
@@mapiasal you’re utterly wrong, but I refuse to spend my time explaining why.
Maybe we could dispute one piece of info that is contestesd. You know, like a conversation.
T columns were architectural features. They held up the roof.
No way Uruk was from the 4th century BC. It's much older than that
I didn't like the narration
Bull sht
