    Watch my latest history documentary here:-
    ua-cam.com/video/c3Hq6UaFQqk/v-deo.html
    Thus concludes the first batch of videos from my recent travels to the Middle East. This one took a ridiculous amount of time and effort to make so please hit that like button if you enjoyed it and let me know in the comments where you’d like to see me film next. If you’re new here don’t forget to subscribe for at least two new documentaries every month and I’ll see you on the next one.

      I love your channel so much. But can you please stick to actual recorded history?
      There is no evidence that the Earth is older than about 6,000 years old.
      And recorded history only goes back to about 4,000 years ago, so any "history" before that is pure conjecture.

      @Raha Aja but you never will? all youl know is what books and youtube can show you based on interpretation. its all subjective ultimately whether you read about history in a book, or go there in your dreams. forgive me for not being as poetic and descriptive in my recommendation to spawn motivation to start your quest. but come on man, the infinite is literally in your head at night. or you can be lazy and wait for VR. which will be sensationally the same as lucid dreaming , but prb with a costly monthly subscription.

    I also appreciate the fact that the producers of this video chose not to suggest that "ancient aliens" were partly responsible for man's development and knowledge. I'm so sick of hearing how aliens came here and began all this, then left.

      Keep in mind that the aliens would have been coming here for millions of years, not just thousands. Or never if thats your belief. My thing is that what were humans doing for the last 200,00 or 500,000 years? Why would they have not been building many at least rudimentary structures with stones by 50,000 years ago. Just found out they were building with wood 500,000 years ago. They would have noticed apes communicating and tried to figure out how to talk with sign language at least.

      @@benzandmoney420 Really? I've never understood that if you believe the 6000 years Bible story what the motivation of trying to make conflicting stories full of consistent evidence would be. Why would anyone do that? Besides that I see no contradiction in believing in the Bible and still believing that the earth is older than a few thousand years. In fact I see no reason to believe there aren't gaps in the Bible story, just as it doesn't contain any events of most of the last 2000 years

      Not aliens, but the briefly mentioned Younger Dryas catastrophe (1200 years of unbelievable climatic turmoil) seems to have destroyed a or some rather advanced civilization who then restarted civilization. Gobekli Tepe could have been built by the labor force of hunter gatherers but the technology the architects used must be much more advanced.

I would think contemporaneously written history would be more likely to be "accurate", but context/bias still matters. The bible on the other hand is more a message or a guide to a way of living than a "history".

    Thanks for this video. I was struck by the idea that the americas were inhabited by people, thousands of years before this city was built. Humans can at times do amazing things when organized. I visited Jerico in the 1980s and was really impressed with the place.

      No, it's not crazy. It is simply worthy of note. This then prompts the question, "How did it come about?" There can then be possible explanations which can be supported or contradicted by evidence. Saying "It's crazy!" adds nothing useful to the discussion or the quest for knowledge. Hyperbole militates against learning, and I urge you not to engage in it.
