Watching the 2 minutes of video in silence left so much space in my head for so many questions to develop. You answered many of them - but it is fun to question. (Would not a group of widely traveled people have bits and pieces of everything they passed along the way? If a weapon is available as I meander by - I will pick it up and incorporate it into my arsenal. ) Thank you very much for posting this to UA-cam. I find your work fascinating.
Hi Michael and Rupert! Fan of your work Love you videos and Standing Stones! I have shared that video many times. Everyone I have shared it with absolutely was blown away. If you also need another site in the US to research. Check out American Stonehedge in Salem NH. The newer owners have dived pretty deep in the history of this site. I lived near it for many years and loved going to visit and learn so many things that are unique to that site. BTW - my name is Dayle (very English heritage in my family). Please keep up your great work! Thoroughly enjoy it! Hugs, love, and energy to all of you! From SW Florida Cheers!
The Mound Builders were a fascinating, widespread culture. I've visited the Etowah Mounds in GA and live near mounds in another state. The Indians told Hernan De Soto that they didn't know who built them.
This was very enjoyable and enlightening, as ever! I'd love to hear what more you discover about the LBK as you move up the Danube, just as they did. Why were they such an extremely homogeneous culture? - it seems that over distances of more than 2000 km in space and at least 2000 years of time, the ground plan of their houses never varied, nor did the shape and decoration of their ceramic vessels. How come? - There is no evidence at all of strong hierarchies or tight social control, so what made this happen as it did? - Who or what told them not to deviate from one traditional canon, under what kind of pressure? That, to me, is the most mysterious thing about them. Did they collectively brainwash one another?? Also, they settled exclusively on rich loess soils in valleys just above the river plains, never anywhere else. Some research suggests that the Western Hunter-Gatherers who were there before them simply moved into the hills & stayed out of the way (if you discount a few raids, on both sides, for fertile women & young slaves, which is what apparently everyone did in those times.). Leaving aside the wild speculations about how this culture met its end or faded away - what will you uncover about them? I'm really looking forward to hearing you speak about it.
Why would that surprise you? Even in much earlier societies all sorts of innovations and technologies spread very fast. And you mention slavery without providing evidence.
@@forestdweller5581 What surprises me is the lack of innovation, as I said. People like to invent new things - and if they don't, across a vast geographical space and vast space of time, it makes me wonder what forces are at play to inhibit the natural urge to experiment and innovate. - I can only assume you misunderstood me on this one! Secondly, I can't provide "evidence" of slavery because I have none, and nor does anyone else: it is a supposition, based on the societies that followed after. Do you have any "evidence" to the contrary? I think we ought to agree that in subjects such as these, eveyone is dealing with likelihoods, theorems, and supositions.
Loved the show. Austrian village fascinating especially the ceramics and figures. Like Rupert, I find the house decoration a bit jarring- makes them look like reconstructed Polynesian villages I’ve visited as a tourist in Hawaii
Could the villages of the pacific northwestern US tribes like the Haida and Tlingit be an analog to the neolithic village reconstruction? They had highly decorated homes and totem poles. That's what came to mind as I watched the video.
00:02:00 It's not "Pontypreeth", it's "Pontypridd". The "dd" is pronounced like the "th" in "this" or "that", never as in "thick" or "thin". Just like Ponty-breathe, with a "p" instead of a "b". No excuses, it's not like it's Llanfairpwllgwyngyll or something. I have mentioned it before. {:o:O:}
I’m curious if the “cheese” being the consistency of yogurt was spread on the wrappings to create some kind of protective layer? After all, milk was use as the basis of a paint. Just wonder out loud.
Just come across a reference to religious use of milk. During Thaipusam Kavadi festival in Mauritius, and elsewhere, at the beginning of the rites the statue of the God is smeared in milk. (Ritual, Dimitris Xygalatas, 2022, p. 162). Also Turmeric water and flowers are added to the concoction. Is there a possible connection to cheese ???? what happens to milk over centuries? Just a thought.
You guys never get the hang of pronouncing German😉. It's not that complicated: Never ever drop anything at the end. Over here we speak every bloody letter we write, always!
Like these videos but really wish Rupert was allowed to talk more often. Become very frustrated at times that the conversation is so dominated by the one presenter.
Thanks for the wonderfull pictures from Schletz. Especially the figurines 😊
I love these videos so much. Thank you

Marvelous as always
Always an absolute joy! Cheers all !

Fabulous and enlightening as ever! 👍😊
As always, stimulating. Thank you.
joining after the fact from Dallas, Georgia. What counts as archeology here are the Etowah Indian Mounds circa 1000 AD which are certainly interesting

MB & RS: A ceramic hat, you say?
MC: Well yes. At least once a year to celebrate the solstice.

Kefir is a fermented milk product. It’s not a cheese
…if you evaporate or strain it, you can get something like a curd cheese, though…
Greetings from the Swamp…

I hope you guys get to feel'n better ❤ Starting to worry
The Scythians seem related to the Pazyryk and the Pazyryk were clearly present in Sanxingdui.

If you heat kefir, you can strain the curds into a boursin like cheese.
I’m quite enjoying the countdown. 😂

Root cellar - you know, a fogou
the Mississippian mound builder culture

What is the source of that Austrian red pigment? It's not the same red ochre I associate with Attic Red.
Is it a toy, is it ritual? Either way, it would be magnetic to children. No gods would be safe from that menace 😬
For the Tarim basin (Ürümci) you would do better with a Turkish speaking archaeologist.
Maybe starting writing Letters
Chances are armour and weapons were taken immediately

Petty comment!!!
Well, he tried to do just that with 'Freie Universität' and failed because diphthongs like 'ei' are the exceptions.
18 horses, 1 man.......Stableboy ?
Not Doberman, Bull Terrier. Distinctive snout.
1:15:50. Looks like a hat.

honestly hadn't noticed until I saw this comment and now I can't unhear the constant interruptions.
🤠❤️🤠🤍🤠💙🤠
phaistos
Marija Gimbutas. Just saying
So you've pissed all the money away, again, 🧐😂
