Meeting a 100 year old Kalahari Bushman
Since around the time our species was getting ready to make the great journey out the African continent, various Bushmen cultures have lived here. The term "Bushmen" is an exonym that has been used to name indigenous hunter-gatherer cultures in Southern Africa spanning Botswana, Namibia, Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, and South Africa. However these cultures, they prefer to name themselves as their individual nations, such as ǃKung, ǀXam and others.
The community we visited are the !Xoõ (or Taa in English) of Botswana. They're one of the smallest groups of Bushmen but speak what is considered to be the hardest language in the world by most linguists. It has the highest number of phonemes and it contains over 120 different clicking sounds.
When we visited Kayete, they called themselves Bushmen and were proud of being called as such. Since the people we met had no issue with this term and in order to make this video accessible to larger audiences, we decided to use the term.
Their ancestors have been here for nearly two hundred thousand years. They have been the subjects of countless anthropological studies and ethnographies; because they may offer a rare glimpse into the very nature of our species.
They are the oldest known hunter-gatherer societies on the planet. However, their culture is coming to a sudden end during our lifetime due to a rapidly changing world and inhumane government policies. Although you can find some Bushmen today practicing their traditional lifestyles, most of them are part of living museums or manufactured environments; gimmicks that tourism boards-run by said same governments-use to attract people to their countries.
In this video, we set out to document the beauty and tragedy of this story. We were fortunate enough to meet Kayete, a man who was alive before modernization reached this part of the world, and who fondly remembers “the olden days”. But in order to illustrate the tragedy of what was lost, we journeyed to the remotest parts of the continent to find one example of the thousands of rock art they left behind. Their depictions are usually of the animals they hunted, and most fascinating of all, of half human and animals hybrids, which show a complex system of beliefs and shamanistic ceremonies.

A Silent Journey Through Namibia
Переглядів 9224 місяці тому
The Namib Desert is the oldest desert in the world and one of the most inhospitable places we have visited. This is evident by the overwhelming presence of death and forgotten landscapes. However, it is also a place of life and resilience. We put together images from our recent journey across the desert and layered them with music, from Russian Orthodox hymns to Basque New Age and traditional H...
Can Music Save This Dying Language?

Recently we spent some time in Livingston, Guatemala and Hopkins, Belize, known cultural hotspots of the Garifuna. The Garifuna language and music are currently listed as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, but these traditions are in danger of disappearing. Language is the medium by which we articulate the world, and our place within it. In an age of globalization and mass extinction ...

I will not allow it to die by any means.
The Garifuna Language has to be recorded and preserved.
I guess it's possible Carthage tried to start a colony there. Not a totally crazy idea.
You know, the more videos I see about all the things that are on these islands the more I realize that there are people really trying to keep this information out of the public domain, which is very interesting. It’s even more interesting when you pair it up with the other information about stone structures on many other Mediterranean islands and, the islands off the coast of Africa and Asia that also have mysterious stone structures. Debt defy explanation and cannot be accurately dated. This is kinda that scares the shit out of archaeologists and anthropologist, not to mention the wealthy philanthropist that tend to take a Eurocentric point of view about the whole world and how it came to be. SMH.
The ocean used to be much more shallow a few thousand years ago. I'd be very interested in diving there. There may be evidence under the rock off the islands. They may have been connected as a land mass, with what we see now as Islands were the mountain tops of a large land mass.
It's really not as much as you think it is. 120m difference from 20,000 yrs ago to the modern sea level. Compare that to the average deoth of the Atlantic Ocean which is 3,646 m (11,962 ft) and it's really not as impressive as you think it is. Also they are volcanic islands like Hawaii. There's no reason for them to be connected beyond being literally right next to each other.
👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤
Not forgotten but avoiding maybe.

wow
A museum director saying "Who cares?" to the hipothesis of human occupation of the Azores before the portuguese, is shocking. How about people with some interest on history?
😮
As a retired archaeologist I can guarantee that when colleagues and lay persons don't understand a structure they invariably declare it of religious significance. Here, "sacred space". It's a cistern requiring sunlight to enter so you can see what you're doing when inside. Solstice? That's what they all say (Ah! The Wonder!). It's just your imagination and the desire to make the site important with a good video and pretty music. Personally, I have no doubt you are describing previously overlooked evidence of an earlier culture but you have no context. You need some proper archaeological evidence. Pottery, artefacts, middens, pits, post-holes, masonry... structures designed for shelter. Everything that went with a culture building pyramids, columbaria and cisterns (aka, water temples). Find that. Please. Putting your video into context, even Early Palaeolithic Homo heidelbergensis left clear evidence of existence in the form of flint tools. Where is yours? Go looking.
Such beauty, thank you, and I'm always ip for some speculation, but could I note a cultural dissonance? That catholic music while serene seems at odds with your speculation, as any catholicism surely originates with the Portuguese?
Hi Roland, thanks for your comment. We think about music often as it plays a big part in our videos. Music and cultural context is something we regularly discuss. But ultimately, our main concern was: how do we establish a certain sacrality or deep sentiment about these places. We found this music evoked these feelings; it was mostly an artistic choice. If you watch our other videos, you’ll see we tend to do this.
The cave is for dovecotes. This could well date them into recent historic times.
Hi Scott, could very well be. As I’ve mentioned in other comments, there are oven like structures inside and beside the cave where bone scraps have been found. To me, this evidence is pointing more towards some sort of crematorium complex. Of course, more conclusive evidence may be needed.
@@WorldOutofTime I really liked this atmospheric video. I think that the signs are unmistakable that the islands had pre-Portuguese inhabitants of some sort who were not present when the Portuguese arrived and so had died out or more likely abandoned the islands at some point. Perhaps its because the volcanic eruptions drove them away. That whole area of the Atlantic and the surrounding lands are very seismically active and historically subject to eruptions, tidal waves, and earthquakes. So is there human ash in the nooks? Also, natural caves could have had multiple uses over time, including as living quarters for humans and burial sites. Are there human bones in the ovens or animal bones? I saw the basements of houses that were excavated in Orvieto, Italy by the owners as dovecotes, so no other use of those spaces would have been possible. But as a Columbarium it would be very unusual. How would the niches have been sealed? SZ BA MA Art History and Architecture
I believe that the Azores were part of a huge Neolithic trading network, extending from the Mediterranean through the Straights of Gibraltar, out into the Atlantic and up the coast of Europe. At the center was the Bronze Age city of 'Atlantis', perched near the Pillars of Hercules on the Atlantic side of Southern Spain, as verified by a joint American and Spanish scientific expedition about 10 years ago.
14:21 It is claimed the greatest long-distance flight recorded by a pigeon is one that started at Arras in France and ended in Saigon, Vietnam, back in 1931. The distance was 11,600km (7,200 miles) and took 24 days. 🕊️ SOURCE: AP
Lovely thanks so much from old New Orleans 😇 !
That was a classic ancient dovecote. Did they find urns? Remains?
There are oven like structures inside and beside the cave where they found bone scraps. It could’ve been a dovecote, I don’t know, but I think the evidence is pointing more towards some sort of crematorium complex.
what "el papa" wants "el papa" gets, they have been invading Natives all over the world in the past 2,250 years ago, enough!
that is where Enki was hiding "The Real Chosen ones" whom by the way were Brown Skin people
Such a weird doom laden soundtrack.
I agree it seems like there was deliberately no mention of most of the specific evidence of Egyptian settlement during the late Bronze Age. Furthermore Atlantis the city is to be clearly differentiated from Atlantis the country. So the Empire of Atlantis spanned across several modern countries but was based in Mauritania at the Eye of Sahara a.k.a. the Richat Structure also known as Guleb al Richat in Arabic. This is natural geological formation known as a cinder cone, that is probably one of the most symmetrical that we have found in the world, but it’s not unique. There’s several over the near the Lybian, Sudanese, Egyptian three-way border. This cluster of cinder cones seems to be the epicentre of bedouin Civilisation and an origin point of many domestic sheep.
My family is from Rabo de Peixe. Sao Miguel. My grandpa (bless his soul) would tell me stories about the islands and the folklore. My grandpa and his younger brothers would go out and look for bits and pieces of metal, usually coins, melt them at his farm and sell it. Not for much mind you. This was during the 1940s under Salazar's regime.
Thank you for sharing! We actually spent a month in Fenais Da Luz, which is very close to Rabo de Peixe. Very beautiful part of the island.
how did he get this good at filming films to only have 280 subscribers so far? Welcome to youtube! haha well better late than never!
Nice informative video.
Awesome vid, we need part ,2
Thank you, stay tuned!
I am brazilian, a native portuguese speaker, I can hardly understand what the first woman is saying.
São Miguel got a strong accent specially in the rural areas
That just screams step pyramid to me, and the alignment makes sense if you accept that we don't really know what pyramids are all about. Monuments to something we can't understand. Very interesting video. I hope you do make a part 2.
Thank you! It’s hard not to perceive them as such. We were there for a full week basically alone accompanied only by a few farmers, all the while these huge structures staring back at us. The whole thing was surreal. Let’s hope more archaeological research is done here so we can get some answers.
Amazing and captivating scenes!
IEEEEE!!!
Excellent. Subbed
Awesome, thank you!
I’ve never seen a more beautiful group of islands.

While we were in Botswana, we met a man who told us about Kayete and how he had taught him everything there is to know about the bush. Kayete was a dear friend of his but they had not seen each other in over 10 years. Due to Kayete’s old age, we weren’t even sure if he would still be alive if we went out looking for him. Despite our questions and within 12 hours of meeting this man, we ventured out together towards the Central Kalahari in hopes of finding Kayete. Needless to say, it was an emotional reunion for both of them. This story is very dear to our hearts, so please enjoy and let us know your thoughts! Subscribe to help us make more videos!
This probably really is the location of the storied “Atlantis”.
no it isnt
I loved the choral music used in the final scenes of this presentation. What WAS that?
Thank you so much! That is the work of Carlo Gesualdo, he is singular in everything that he did. A fascinating character to explore as well.
WHAT FASCINATING INDORMATION and BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPHY !!! WOULD LOVE TO KNOW MORE !!! HAVE JUST SUBSCRIBED & LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR THOUGHT-PROVOKING EARTH-HISTORY COVERAGE !!!
Interesting gathering of many facts on your videos. There is much more to all of this obviously. The question is: did you reached your goal? For example: the sacred names that have a ( A ) prefix from east to west like Asura, Abraham, Apollo, Atlantis, Aztec and others, do this names have a universal code on a grammatical basis that can actually decode their specific traditions back to the One Tradition? Maya is no exception even thou it has no ( A ) prefix. It is remarkable that for example in the Philippines the names of certain islands, their myths and traditions on various degrees, connect to unsuspected traditional links that are much wider than what academic teaching will ever reach, and all of this is obviously pre Hispanic. Isn’t the name Toltec with a ( A ) prefix a given to Atlan, or better said Aztlan the Island where the Aztecs had to flee from a deluge? Hope you can gather and have good results from this small fragments. Regards
