  • The science of archaeology can tell us a lot of things about an ancient artifact, or even a whole ancient city. It might be able to tell us the age of what we're looking at, how it was built, and what it was used for. It can't always tell us all of those things, though. Sometimes even the best archaeologists are left just as confused by the things they discover as we are. We love it when that happens because it means we can make great mystery-filled videos like this one!

    I love how everyone thinks everyone in ancient times were cut off from each other, humans have been wandering the globe since they were 1/2 step up from a bonobo. the Medd was full of ships and trade from the time the first boats appeared, cross continent treks took a long time but they happened, global trade is as old as humans.

    Those mossy rocks moving around are not a mystery anymore. Someone figured it out. It happens somewhere else too, I can't remember off the top of my head where I heard about it. Basically it's water underneath the rocks that freezes as it gets cold and the ice lifts the rocks, then as the temperature warms the ice melts and the rocks begin to slowly slip. Pretty cool stuff!

    According to a family friend who worked in the American Museum of Natural History in NYC, there are rooms filled with items that either can't fit on display - or _doesn't fit_ ANY known culture. Sciences like geology are a definite thing - erosion and upheaval is literally set in stone. Archaeology is an interpretive science. If it doesn't fit, it doesn't exist. But it does! And it's suppressed.

    1:20 first described in 1950 by Icelandic meteorologist Jón Eyþórsson, who referred to them as jökla-mýs, which is Icelandic
    for "glacier mice" that are a colony composed of multiple species of moss who's movements of about an inch a day in
    formation are caused by light triggered growth patterns that enables the entire surface area to be exposed to the sun
    by rolling the least exposed underside twards the sun & is why they do not move solely because of wind, or slope direction

    The vikings traveled south down the rivers and realized not to fight but to trade. When they got to the black sea, the Med was open to them, but they didn't want to go to far into heavy populated army type countries and returned north being far from home. They took gene structure south with them. That is how they were determined to get there.

      Our "needs" are much greater than they need to be, but until there is a new source readily available such as geothermal or sun energy that can be collected off planet and transferred to here, and if people in hot climates want to be comfortable and people in cold climates want to also AND we want to travel between them, we need today's energy sources which are oil and gas. And ALL energy of today is really dependent on oil in some way.

    The circles on the drums are a symbol of eternal life. The circle is representation of a maze similar to labyrinths. Ancient civilizations believed that labyrinths/mazes we’re an example of the maze of a uterus, comparing it to the maze/journey of life. It’s most likely that this child was in a fetal position and covered in red ochre. If this child passed away at an early life, the drums would be a gift for the child’s spirit to crossover to death.

    The drums' function and name make sense. Like an ink/toner drum or an oil drum, not an instrument. They also appear to be made to roll a pattern out in clay or mud. An easy way to decorate a primitive concrete or clay wall. No need to chisel out the same pattern over and over, just roll the dum over your wet canvas and let it dry. They may have even had a wooden handle that didn't survive.

    As for your Viking departure after 15 years; Perhaps it was that the ship/boat they were in was damaged during a storm and they drifted ashore at that location. They would've built shelter to survive while they gathered materials and supplies to build/repair ships and have stores for their departure with the completed ships (that took 15 years to get done). - Just another theory (based on what was already proposed in the narration) to work with.

    The moss balls are on top of the ice, when the ice melts the moss balls slide and look like they are moving on their own.

    Dear Benevolent Content Overlords - I do so wish there would always be an itemized list in the description section of your videos. Just the proper name/spelling and referenced location for each mentioned mystery (not asking for subtitles, links, or research citations). The quality of production elements, tho a lil’ corny, are clearly crafted with attention to detail, and a kitschy commitment to serial theme & format, so why foul out at content packaging, & negate completely the marketing benefits of metadata points by filling out the basics in the video description field? Why not increase views by scoring as a relevant hit if someone is searching for even one descriptor point listed in your video description real estate. Just saying, ... all that slick effort only to not be a catalogued search engine option cuz “liner notes” is too 1990’s CD Insert? It’s Meta-Data, not Meta-Momma.
    No one’s gonna fault your pronunciations when they read your video description list of subjects & locales - honestly, they’ll be too busy being thrilled they have now been forever changed by the power unleashed in knowing how to spell the damn name of that awesome thing you featured! Your fans will be so freakin thrilled!
    .. yeah, that’s all... thanks for the mysteries... now how about some script-tease in future?
    Oh, and… hey, just for kicks, I’m gagging with curiosity to hear the voice over try out Christian Slater inflections - think “Pump Up The Volume” (1990), for, ya know, less Chad, more Mystery.

    I know how they cut stone back in the ancient times. They used diamonds. Only master craftsmen had diamonds. Basic craftsmen used heat and blunt techniques. Like obsidian and granite tools. To precisely build walls with irregular stones that fit precisely is the art of softening stones.. using a stone to the size needed. Roughly flitted. Then super heated. Using carbon to move and handle. The bigest stones. The 10ton plus stones were moved in water.
    I can explain the building of the structures.. the cutting. The forming. The lack of evidence of diamonds used. Those are easy to understand and explain. But what I can't explain is how they made the foundations upon what they built. That to me is perplexing.

    Aren't the Root Glacier moss balls thought to shade the ice during melting season, creating mounds of increasingly unstable substrate equally among all the balls, until a random wind gust (not typical wind direction) might topple them all equally in the same direction? I'd think this would also have the effect of keeping them separate from each other, since the uneven surface created by their shade would prevent other balls from rolling into the space shaded by another ball.
    With the skeleton washed up on the shore, maybe I didn't hear correctly, but did you say that scientists have been unable to examine the skeleton? That seems like a key point, and a telling detail in stories of cryptozoological lore. Certainly a point that would be nice to have explored in such a case, as it suggests a truth that someone would prefer not to have revealed.
    That hindu temple is beautiful, and a wonderful example of high craftsmanship typical of such temples constructed during that golden age of funding great works of art, but can't the absence of traditional local religious iconography be explained by the efforts to "defile" it by invaders in the 14th century? Removing the religious context of the building's purpose, I'd think, would be a fine way to insult and demoralize those who held the site sacred. Still, it's a shame that history is bound to fail us as we lose any way of being certain of the techniques used by famously secretive engineers of stone craft. I 'm noticing in the video, several of what appear to be supportive (I assume modern) pillars that I assume have been put in place in order to prevent the toppling of lintels, and that mortar is used extensively in these constructions. I'm not sure what this says about their expected longevity, but it is astonishing they've lasted this long. The way people like to knock things down, anything nice is bound to fall at the whim of some dirtbag eventually.
    If any archeologist unearths my cousin's grave in the future, they will not understand the objects we placed with him, because we didn't include an explanation for future folks. Sorry, future folks. Must be aliens.
    I'm curious about the Merkhets of ancient egypt. What about them can't be explained? They are amazing tools, for sure. I sometimes wonder what our technology these days would look like if electricity was never discovered, or wasn't something we could harness. It seems certain that human ingenuity would continue developing whatever technologies were available to them, and whatever the most clever of them could develop. Some pre-historic technologies seem incredible to us, because they are wonderful when viewed from the point of view of someone who might not think themselves capable of inventing such things without the tools we take for granted. Before the invention of the painting press, any ideas were vulnerable to the failures of handed-down knowledge or the fragility of the materials that were used to record them, with stone carving being probably the most durable means of recording, but were still vulnerable for their singularity. Shatter a stelae, and the idea is gone forever, or bury the language in the sands of time, and any interpretation of these carvings upon rediscovery can only be puzzled together with uncertain speculation by those whose expertise may or may not lend insights that are useful in imagining their meanings.
    What is for me the most frustrating thing about pre-history (or even pre-printing press history), is how much we can be sure that some of the most wonderful things were done in either secret or in the knowledge of those who didn't think to record these happenings in a medium (stone, really, would be the only thing that could possibly survive for centuries) that could be counted upon to endure. Who thinks of carving things in stone? It's the kind of action that one would only do if you were specifically intending to communicate to people of the future, which is an odd and peculiar occupation for any age when one would most typically be consumed with the tasks necessary to survive and to keep your family fed. How many wonderful things might have been written on a kind of paper that wouldn't survive more than a century or wouldn't be stored in someone's tomb, or wouldn't be seen by grandchildren as valuable in any way, and tossed into an ancient dumpster? I'd think that, statistically, there would be tens of thousands of times as much of that as there would be anything that someone took the time to carve into granite and keep in a place that could be trusted to leave it undisturbed. Even today, I rarely hear of anyone who is interested in creating something that could be counted on to be interpreted by a person 2 thousand years in the future. We just trust that our collective knowledge will persist, because it looks like it's persisting during these last 25 years or so, at least, on the internet or on hard drives or CDs or servers. It's true that the printing press is a wondrous creation for making something that might be more permanent than something carved in stone -- not because any book will last longer, but because some of the countless copies of it distributed around the world might stand a chance of lasting longer than any single stone carving, as long as people don't throw it into a dumpster with banana peels, or print it upon a cheap pulp that crumbles over the years. I hope the internet, or some future version of t, continues to carry our thoughts and collected notes on our experiences until the sun expands to engulf the earth in its lakes of fire. Faithfully transmitting our notions through the generations is what makes us special, and it's the kind of thing that makes something like the burning of the Alexandrian library so devaastating to the history of humanity. It's hard to imagine what we would be like if our collected knowledge experienced this kind of global catastrophe, all our prized knowledge vaporized somehow. Could we corrale ourselves into a conference where we tried to write it all down again before the knowledge faded or was corrupted by the hazards of memory, or is it even possible that human knowledge has surpassed what can be contained in any mind, and perhaps couldn't be recollected without the benefit of generations.
    The powers of human ingenuity in the context of a pre-mass-communication world are hardly comprehensible today. We depend so much upon our easy accesss to our collective knowledge that it becomes impossible to imagine ourselves without it. The people of pre-captain Cook Hawaii developed a technology of navigation that would amaze people in ways that we are amazed by the merkhet of egypt, but they didn't have the benefit of being connected to any culture who had ways of recording knowledge in a durable way, and so it fades into an invisible past. It's an unbearable fact that some of the things -- most of the things - - that happened in the world will never be known to us, including the thoughts that pre-historic people had, or what they had for lunch or how they applied makeup in such a way that your cheekbones are flattered just so. As someone who takes for granted our tenuous connection to all humans and the best of our thoughts on such subjects, it's unbearable to think about how much is lost forever, with no traces of their existence etched into stone for some clever person to decipher in the future, and never enough in the stone that survives the ravages of time to ever be satisfactorily accessible to even the cleverest of archeologist.
    I remember hearing about someone who had this brilliant idea of somehow getting a soundtrack from ceramics that had been crafted on a pottery wheel in ancient times by extracting the microscopic waves of vibrations left from the potters hand on the wet clay, much as an old phonograph recorder might have recorded onto a cylinder of wax with the vibrations of a needle. It turns out that nobody has been able to do this yet -- there are too many other factors that influence the motions of a potters hand, and no potter was ever considerate enough to consider our interest in the microscopic motions of his fingers' vibrations -- but it's not often that someone's idea activates that kind of excitement over the possibility of looking back in time without the gatekeepers and authoritative conclaves and textual conferences deemed necessary to curate our view of it. Time machines are probably impossible without the discovery of remarkable pottery, so it's likely that the best we can do is to indulge in the joy of the mystery of it instead, and to satisfy ourselves with the fantasy that it evokes in our paltry imaginations, regardless of what the experts say or how convincing are the less authoritative yarns spun by those whose imaginations we find convincing. How much can we tell by chipped rocks found among bones, when most people never chipped a rock or gave much thought to their bones. Hopefully more than a waveform extracted from the flaws in an old amphora, but not likely more than a sketch laden with the baggage of all manner of context distortion and cultural noise that separates us from the time when those bones were put to earth. [I'm hoping this incoherent ramble goes unread, but apologies to anyone who might have made the mistake of persisting to this end of it]
