- A brief Archeological and ethnographical study of primitive fire-making. This is my first documentary, Usually I don't make documentaries, instead I make bushcraft styled videos and I tried to make it as professional as possible because I am very passionate about this topic. This video was made for educational purposes. Video is non-profit.

Note from the creator, I may be overthinking this but Sorry if I was a little awkward through out the video, I wanted to use my professional voice, but I now realize the style doesn’t suit everyone. I am a bit camera shy and I’m willing to work on that by doing videos like these for practice. I will try to be more loose and more like myself in the next video project. Thanks to those understanding
Just be yourself! I think you did a great job. Keep creating, I love learning this stuff
Bro you did a fine job just maybe try a less professional vocabulary it would fit really well
Heya, is that music from one of the elder scrolls games? Sounds familiar. Anyway, the music level is too high. Just a little bass-boost or high-pass filter on the mic would help too. Good video.
I agree. This video has fascinating and thorough info I was specifically looking for. But your tone was flat and bland. You sounded like you were reading from a script. (Of course, all narrators read from a script, but it is the interesting narrators that sound like they are winging it from memory.) Tex of the Black Pants Legion makes AMAZING documentaries. He will be a great mentor to follow. He's super generous with his wisdom so hit him up personally (BPL- Tex BPL ) and I'll bet he'll be delighted to help a new documentarian. I'll message him and let him know about you. Keep up the good work! I'll be watching more of your stuff for sure.
I think it’s fine
My son runs survival courses in south Africa. He's got the fire bow down to a fine art. I never get used to seeing fire started in this way. Always seems miraculous
Thank you 😊
@@terrybrady1644 no thank you for watching
I *LOVE* Anthropology and Paleontology!!! Just subscribed. Look forward to more.
@@goyoelburro Heyo! Looks like we have something in common, I’m an anarchist dad myself! Thanks for stopping by, I’ll be checking out your content too when I get the spare time!
If I ever get a Time Machine, I’m gonna take a case of Bic lighters back in time.
Then I’ll sell them fire extinguishers.
Pro tip in general, forget Bic's, Clipper's cost essentially the same, but are refillable, plus you can change the entire spark mechanism, or just the flint. What Bic's can be better at is the flatter shape and smaller size of the minis.
Great documentary brother.
Good work. Thanks!
Thank you for watching!
Great video! Learned a lot!
Ryan started the fire
Enjoy learning, thank you.
I've always thought that the difficulty of starting fire is where the idea of an eternal flame came from. Once you get a fire going, you've got to keep it going. If there is at least one flame that's maintained in a village, everyone can use it to light their personal hearth.
Also, in the Promethean legend, he stole it from the forge of Hephaestus on Mount Olympus. He was punished for this by the gods. I think this is an allegory for someone capturing an ember from a volcanic mountain, then becoming ill from the toxic fumes he was exposed to.
Yes the prehistoric movie A Quest For Fire portrays this with hominids and other Native American cultures practice this too in some regions like the Pacific Northwest.
Prometheus is a interesting story, it could be borrowed or influenced from an even older culture just like many other myths.
I found it very interesting and informative!
Amazing video. Thank you for the in depth knowledge. (perhaps next time you could make the music quieter so i can hear you clearer?) Again, fantastic video.
Been seeing this video in my recommended a couple times, wish I hadn’t sat on it for so long cause I thought it was pretty good!
If you plan on doing more archeological/historical videos in the future, I would recommend citing the sources you use. You don’t have to cite literally everything, but just the general places you got your historical information, or whenever you quote something. It helps keep historical videos more professional and honest. Hope this helps!
Hey I really appreciate this! I’ll cite some sources in the description! Next one is gonna be the Atlatl
Looks like you are interested in fire. I know something about it that very very few know. Prometheus's First Fire from Heaven is about the destructive phenomena of The Taurid Meteor Stream. When we cross the nighttime Halloween Fireballs, The Taurids, they seems to emanate from The Pleiades, this is the Ancient New Year and all the fires would be put out to simulate impact winter and then New Fires would be made by old methods. BTW, it is global, also, said stream is estimated to be ~20ka.
👌
It’s possible to take two pieces of fint And start a fire or chert. And other hard stones 7 or 8 moes hardness usually silica based rocks. The flint stike light. Or the bamboo stike light Fire thong. Or. Also. Fire plane. These techniques hard to say were they have gone. Hand drill. Fire plow. Wood firesaw was developed in Africa. And the secrets of starting fire. Travelled with people
I really enjoyed the video and hope to see more :)
The only thing I would say is that the music is very slightly too loud for my taste, but again, great video and I subscribed either way :)
Stay curious my friends, focus on science.
Teach the women how to make fire, smh.
