I see alot of comments on here expressing outrage over the Persian barbarism. But those people seem to forget the mindset of the Greeks at the time. They regarded most people who weren't Greek as barbarians just as the Romans. If you weren't Greek you weren't civilized and therefore a barbarian.
I seriously don't think that it was an instinct for man to study moon rocks. It's the moon what else was there to examine.
What?!? Historians are considering why the industrial revolution started in Britain and not somewhere else? Maybe, because of the British people!?!! Duh.
No Afro-centrism, no CGI, no corny reenactments, no White guilt, no loud music. Such a charming and informative film.
You are just racist
I don't recognize Dehli without the incessant car honking.
Why does the video keep losing the volume???
likely copyright claims on background music. I believe it's all mostly automated.
Ozone layer is being harmed, block the reflection please
Love works
Do we have gold rivers flowing below us
its stunning seeing him being in all the places he talks about, such a departure from seeing just b roll in newer stuff lol
Made in 1986, but still very relevant, since it tells the story of ancient man. The picture is just slightly muddy in places, but it's still very interesting and relevant. I enjoyed it a lot!
Loved the Persian comment. Rings true today in that region.
They are barbarians. They've always been. The rest of the world were barbarians too, but for some reason, we've evolved one rung on the ladder of intellect whereas the Middle East has refused to let go of its wife-beating history and religious zealotry.
Where I live there are many twisted metal coffins ,a wrecking yard. And my city has 2 many people living in cardboard condominiums.
Great video, and the I love the music at the very start of the video. Thak you.
These productions or documentaries should be required to watch for all middle school kids to give them a sense and appreciation for the incremental builditive aspect of societal development - it would be motivating if not inspirational and obviously educational but most importantly tamp down the dismissive casual attitude many people have about the technological complexity that makes life livable
All schools would do is talk about the evil of European colonizers and blah blah blah lets give Africa everything we own because racism.
Really enjoying this series
How did the US industry began to move ahead, oh with an Englishman Samuel Slater & with the help of Anglo-Americans a.k.a. the English. Thanks England,.
This Michael Charlton is first-rate as a presenter, he's very smooth, dignified and pleasant.
Most excellent 👍
Thx for making this available, recommended.
It's too bad that the American interviewee spoke so lamely about the future of American invention. We can do better than he sounded. Other than that, this is a fantastic series!
It is interesting that you still can watch something not full of commercials on the web today.
Such an outstanding series, it's great too to be able to watch YT and this series on my TV while relaxing in my recliner ☺
Henry F didnt give two cares for our earth
What is this dirty clanker propoganda. Fuck machines.
I will never be able to thank you enough for this ⚔️
This has become my favorite series. I have listened to it twice all episodes this week while I’m pouring iron at work. I work cast iron, make fittings and pipes and whatnot for water.
11:33 if this was done today the narrator would be a tranny and the whole thing would hint that people developed metal to combat climate change. The war rages on rofl. Nothing combats climate change like a good steel blade
This is amazing. Thank you for uploading. This is the exact information i`ve been searching for. Gonna watch every episode.
Great arrow tip.
First documentary I seen that didn’t mention aliens
It's nice to see a documentary about this without any mention of aliens!
Being a british and american production, they meticulously omit the most accessible and obvious possibility: southern Spain and Tartessian culture. The Sierra Morena pyritic belt is probably the richest source of copper and tin in the ancient world, and its use is firmly confirmed by archeology in the early 2nd millennium BC. The ships of Tharsis that are so praised in The Bible.
one thing though was not explained, or at least i did not hear about it, where did the wood or charcoal come from? the hills and valleys must have been full of trees? and those were used to heat the furnaces? or was the dessert always there? and any wood or charcoal had to be brought in from who knows where?
how were the Chinese removing carbon from cast iron not mentioned unless they used a reducing flame ?
I'll wager it has something to do with dog eating.
strange how they lost the arts of ironmaking by the 1960 s a lot of junk was produced.
I’ve read/heard that in the Bronze Age that in both Southern Ireland and England there was a lot of mining for tin which was in great demand for the making of bronze in continental Europe and the Middle East!! This makes me wonder if it was also where the first tin-foil hats were manufactured for telepathic or radio communication with visiting aliens from other planets!!!????? 😮
Not sayin it was aliens, however who really knows!!!?????😊 0 ~ ;,” §¥[<~~~~> ?????????
Well that was a nauseating episode.
❤❤❤
This was fascinating. Thanks
Ending is total BS. He's coompletely ignoring the vast budgets of military and private industry research, ALL of which goes to "practical" applications.
remastering to digital sharpens old film, colours can also be enhanced and clarified
how wonderful exporting cannon and ransacking forests 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅!!!
A wonderful script. Written when documentaries were aimed at educated adults. Today’s documentaries are banal by comparison.
Horses were domesticated in russia or Tartary recently. Slash and burn of northern forests brought charcoal and bronze metalurgy. Til then everyone was on foot and rafts. The shang burial of the horse came after. The New chronology brings everything up in time. Discoveries are no less important. Dark ages and lost and found episodes disappear from the story, and technological development curves regain their natural shape. People of the world are not viewed as primitive ignorant descendents of ancient geniuses, simply broken up parts of a world network that shattered in the sixteenth century and was usurped by governors of certain provinces.
All fine except for scaligerian ancient dating.
Fuel? A Fomenko suggests slash and burn vast deforestation for farming all across Russia.
This site should be memorialized or made into a state park, protected, a history site or history museum. Get what I'm trying to say?
Is the Gulf of Aqaba on the Silk Road? Near the Silk Road?
It’s also called the Gulf of Eilat. The coastline is divided among the countries of Egypt, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Jordan, situated at the northern tip of the Red Sea. Hope this helps.
The Spanish and everyone else destroyed the truth of everything that they found. After killing everyone that didn't die from smallpox, measles, mumps,diphtheria, even the flu killed 99% of the native Americans. After that they had no one left. A few strong immune systems didn't pass on the culture that was there before. They had all died before the Europeans even got to the actual continent.50 million people died before they were "discovered". Right wing hateful greedheads killed the women first. The Spanish did things that turn my stomach. They were the worst of the worst!
