DENIAL IS A RIVER IN EGYPT (but the Amazon is longer?)

- A team of international explorers are planning a voyage down the entire Amazon river to document its geography and biodiversity. Lead by Brazilian explorer Yuri Sanada, the team will kayak the entire river next spring-something that has been done fewer than 10 times in history.
The question of the longest river aside, it’ll be fascinating to see the biodiversity of the Amazon!

give it a few years and Brazil will destroy it so 0 will be the result -.- Should put it into hands that will restore it instead of making into the worst farm land possible second only to a desert.
@@richmondvand147not really, while the Amazon have been destroyed by ILLEGAL activity, most of the Amazon is still protected, and Brasil (differently from the USA and most of Europe) having a good Sistem for protection of native vegetation, it will be a good while before the Amazon disappear from the map
@@richmondvand147 yea Brazil farming is destroying the land not the millionaire forest companies sure
If Yuri succeeds, they're gonna be a goddamn legend on all accounts. Pirates, drug cartels, a burning Darwinian ambition, AND a definitive answer to everyone's petty argument? This is gonna be a movie in 10 years
Might as well make a movie while they are documenting it

@@StressfulGengarread that again SLOWLY
We can see it from space... This whole thing is just ridiculous.
@Krackonis I think it's pretty slim from up there, the vegetation obscures some parts, and to define what counts will be difficult. So a sattelite measurement will probably be heavily criticised.
I didn’t know “explorer” could be an official job title. Sign me tf up
Real
What do you mean? Theres still tonnes we havent explored. Its a real job but the biggest downside is getting funding.
Another problem is how closely you measure. Any coastline or river bed can be infinitely long depending on how far in you zoom, as there are an infinite amount of tiny nooks and crannies.
yes you can theoretically zoom in to get an infinitesimally small measurement, but the total length of the river is still a finite space. besides, zooming in to gain an extra couple millimeters of length will make no difference in the end result.
You can also solve it as if it was a fractal. The same thing was done by Vsauce for the entire earth.
Not really. You go down the middle, which is finite.
@@choc0late_milkIt will if there are an infinitely many number of extra millimetres.
That’s not how it works…
I say go for it. In a world filled with stupid ways to get a Darwin award, this is by far the most exciting and adventurous.🤠
Heres your sign: it reads "dumbest person in the world who thinks exploring the earth for science is a dumb way to die"
@@Repetoire we gain literally nothing from this.
@@WeaponizedGoochsweat we gain knowledge, all knowledge is good
@@RaffleRaffle if you want to send that person to their death so people can flex which river is larger be my guest.
@@WeaponizedGoochsweat there is 0 danger in taking measurements in the amazon if you bring basic survival gear. Not everyone is stupid/scared like you bud it's time you wake up to reality.
This deserves a long nuanced discussion
Good luck finding exactly where the Amazon starts. That's a lot of water man.
We have this same in the USA between the Mississippi and the Missouri river. People (like myself) belove the Mississippi river is the longest because it stay course and flows in a direct direction from north to south. The Missouri changes directions largely in several points and those locations have different names. A river ahould set all the way thru and shiuld drastically change directions or have different names.
Maybe edit this so you aren't contradicting yourself with a typo so that those who cannot infer aren't lost.
*shouldn’t
@@hispanicyoutubeperson6100 thanks for the reminder! Glad u can spell, glad some big bad 12 year old on UA-cam was able too correct me!
@@douglasgudenkauf1952 Actually, the other guy was telling you to edit your comment because what you wrote contradicted itself. Unfortunately, he didn’t tell you what it was, so I decided to help out instead. There’s no need for sarcasm.
The Yangtze in Chinese actually only refers to the mouth of the river. The West designated the name to the whole river as Yangtze. The actual name of the whole river in Chinese is 'Changjiang' (long river).
Yuri Sanada I'm rooting for you!!
This would be a sick movie.
A team of kayakers and tactical teams have to make their way down a river with rescue at the end while being constantly brigaded by cartels and militants.
They have a feeling the Amazon might actually be longer, they are just in Denial about it.
The river paradox: I’m about to end this mans whole career
Fun fact, the Amazon river discharges a volume 4x greater than the Nile, which is insane for us to think how massive that is
If only it was a nicer place. I'd love to see the beauty of South America
Don’t believe what the media makes it out to be. South America isn’t as dangerous as it seems. Yes, there is a lot of crime, but it happens in between the gangs, and doesn’t affect the civilians themselves nearly as much, let alone tourists.
I really suggest you visit Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Chile, etc., as long as you follow basic safety tips, you’ll be fine. (And get a guide! Not just for safety, but they know the best spots for a visit)
Youll be fine south america is safe Brazil even having had the highest murder statistics in the world is incredibly safe if you aren't stupid dress humble get a good guide and youll be fine i am Brazilian and have only once been robbed in my life try to visit between the northeast and south and youll have one of the greatest trips of your life
@@serigroho 💀💀💀💀💀??????? Bro u r lying as f
As a Egyptian I'm team Nile with all my heart !
bruh the Nile is the longest river in the world.
The thing that actually makes it hard to find is the natural jagged shape of rivers which makes it hard to calculate the length.
I think the Amazon covers more surface area due to how windy it is But as far as length, the Nile is really long It's almost half the continent. Lengthwise
Google says the nile is 6650 km long and the amazon 6400, so it's kinda close, and likely the amazon covers a larger area
I’ve always heard in school that the Nile is the longest. the Amazon is the widest, making it the largest river, but not the longest.
Genuinely hope they don't just disappear
I remember when I rode a mule in Tsebay, Bahir Dar right next to the nile on a mountain. It was crazy, the mule also tried to kill me. But I was too crazy for the mule so he gave up and stopped trying to throw me over the mountain.
The thing with the Amazon is there are like 20 tributaries that merge at the start of the river. Geographically speaking the Nile is longer then the Amazon. But the Amazon covers way more real estate and is much much much deeper.
As a lab researcher, field researchers scare me in the best way. What a bunch of absolute badasses!
The longest river in the world is just a creek in my backyard. Everytime the water moves that means there's more river to measure.
Satellite can verify the length. But the biodiversity would be interesting
Should the “rewards be well worth the risks” or is it actually the other way around?
I think it works both ways honestly
Hell yeah I’m pumped
Even if the expedition doesn't measure it in tye end, the scientific potential I'd immense
It's weird as measuring the length of a river is a parodox like measuring the coast line.
The smaller the measurement you use, the longer it gets.
It's the Mississippi it runs across the entire continental u.s and has many other rivers connected to it
With my limited expertise id say the Nile is longer but Amazon has more volume.
The Jaguar Council has decided this will be a Darwin Award by a thousand Jaguar
It sucks when ur only source of water get jeopardized because it is too long
I think it is easier to determine the distance between where the river start and end of river.
Pretty sure it's the Amazon, personally. Am concerned for the safety, but am really looking forward to the resulting discoveries.
You also have to decide to what scale you are measuring it. If you measure every single indent it will be drastically longer than if you just broadly measure a meter at a time. In theory, a river can be almost endless in length if you go to a small enough scale.
From my understanding the Nile is longer but the Amazon is deeper and wider.
Google says the nile is 250 kilometers longer, but they are both well over 6000 kilometers long
Yuri is the kind of Indiana Jones adventurer I enjoy from field academics
"the nile" denial. I get it.
Acording to most geographers in brazil nile is the longest and amazon is the river with most volume
Only 10? Screw everest, this sounds like a fun kayak trip
I am exceedingly curious as to why satelights could not be used to measure the rivers. I understand there are trees likely covering it in places but do we truly not have any satellite/plane with instruments to accurately measure the river? Like really?
I thought it was already decided the Amazon was the longest
as a brazilian i will never accept such a disgrace as the nile being bigger. we need at least one good thing.
If only we had a machine in space that can give us an aerial image.
Wouldn't it be easier to use Google maps and then send the researchers to the points where to the ends are thought to be? They could even make concrete marks to get a more accurate reading from the satellite.
I already did it with the measure feature on Google Earth.
Nile is not only Egypt river. other countries share it too.
Am I the only one that when I heard the Nile is a river in Egypt I thought it was that one sigma song
I’m just gonna say that this exploration team may be on the news next year, for some reason, I hope they’re gonna all be ok
I'm team Nile all the way!
Better have some top bodyguards hired for that
THE NILE IS A RIVER IN EGYPT 🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
In other words the Nile river will probably be the longest still. As stated any manmade or natural could change all the Amazons river for better or worse and with how Terra has been to us. She’ll definitely make natural issues worse
Amazon is the longest
The Amazon river is 155 km shorter than the Nile.
It depends on how closely you measure it
Like it depends cause the nile is the longest but the amazon is the largest
I feel like this could be done with a satellite
Finding cool stuff in big jungle and big river is nice but putting that aside, do we not still own satellites? Can we not measure both rivers from the same altitude?
All these months I have been confused because I thought they were saying “Denial is a river in Egypt”
They are. This is a figure of speech to tell someone they are in denial about something. It’s not a nice way to tell someone, either, it’s usually used mockingly.
Now do one about why there are so many Brazilians with Japanese names 😁
Why the hell do we need an expedition when we have the entire thing photagraphed by satellite? How can that not determine the length?
If the Amazon river touches both ends of south america or even both ends of Brazil and a little past it is longer than the Nile by default
I remember growing up it’s always just been “the Nile is the longest river” but now apparently it’s the amazon
I’ve always heard that it was the amazon
bro said it’s the longest in the world and doesn’t even know how long it is
Glad to know there are still unhinged field researchers. Science needs those guys.
There's two things you can always count on humanity, stupidity, and perseverance.

@@unorthodoxpickle7014 no one asked
The Amazon has a dry season and flood season that drastically changes over the spand of a year soo it would be almost impossible to keep a consistent measurement. But the documentation of the biodiversity is a good point
that’s pretty easy to calculate given you know the exact area during a given time. they’d be estimates, but we can get them pretty accurate using current tide/flood patterns
Then you get the length at the dry season and the length at the wet season and find the middle of the two numbers
you measure along the thalweg (deepest part of the river, basically the center of the channel). flood changes the width of the river, not the length.
@@vluverrlook into measuring a coastline if you think it is simple cause people can’t agree on much

I've lost 32 workers to the jungle but dang it I will answer that question people google ever once in a while.

wha

That is pretty much the attitude of all real explorers. Do you have any idea how many people died trying to get to the north pole? They didn't even have Google back then, so the only people who would know or care would be egg heads who read it in academic books.
They definitely died for a lot less.
Imagine thinking your lack of curiosity is a reflection of the rest of humanity….how pathetic.
This feels like an adventuring quest that starts over and over several rounds because the party keeps getting decimated.

Aaaahhh shit...

and then the waffen ss appear out of nowhere and start helping them
Couldn’t this be solved through Satellite imaging?
The thing about the Amazon river is that it is in the Amazon jungle and in most of it covered completely by the canopy. The Amazon is probably the least-explored remaining parcel of land on Earth, in part because of said canopy preventing aerial surveillance, and it's if anything it's even more dangerous than ever now than ever before.
@@miral6694want there that whole lidar see through the trees subsurvace scanning thing all those years ago? Could have sworn they discovered a whole bunch of "structures" in the amazon with it.
I am wishing Yuri that absolute best. That sounds like an amazing and super exciting adventure. Hope that they do not face any violence or harm during their travels.
Why is the answer important?
And why not use sonar drones so you don't have to meet river pirates?
Or you can use this as an opportunity to arrest the pirates.
The answer isn't important, you still need to be relatively near a drone to pilot it, and Even if you arrested every single pirate on the river right now, more would be there tomorrow anyways
I feel like it’s mostly for data on all the species there and hey if you supposedly had the longest river in the world in your country you’d want to find out the truth. It would bring a lot of pride and moral to the population
@@Gayoinionwhy would geological formations that are hundreds of thousands of years old bring pride to anyone as if they did absolutely anything.
well least i don't care 😂👍
or we can finally find Carmen San Diego
As a Brazilian, I am truly sure that Amazon is the thickest (if i can say that way) river in the world. It also has a giant amount of water passing through it
Edit: Widest, not thickest lol
Yeah Amazon I believe has the highest volume of water
widest would be a better term
@@TM_0153 sure! I forgot that word lol
Thiccest?
@@pasques widest, sorry. I forgot the right word
Give me a ruler, I'll do it.
Putting yourself at risk of dying violently to answer a totally pointless question isn't *my* idea of a fun time, but to each their own!
Yuri Sananda: Fine then. I'll do it myself.
who
thank god, i hope this project receives zillions in tax money so we can answer this super important question which could probably be mostly solved by a satellite
No it couldnt, its a Rainforest
Tree bro come on
The problem is that the Nile also has some upstream swampy area flows that need to be accounted for. It adds about fifty miles I think? In order to create your tracking points, you have to track currents in those areas, and satellite views can’t do that generally.
@@eragonbromsson9454 if we are able to use infra-red satellite to map out lost ruins that the forest has reclaimed, we can deff use it to map a river. Expecially considering the heat the river would give off would be so different then the surrounding jungle itd be easy to map.
@@phht0568 Hi, I see your point, though infrared (thermal) has lower resolution due to its longer wavelength, however i do think it is a pointless endeavour, but if it is privately funded then sure why not 😁
This feels like a Mandela effect thing cause the Amazon has been the longest River as long as I can remember
You as well huh. I think we shifted into a new universe.
I don't know when the shift happened but I remember as a kid the Amazon had the longest river and then one day in high school it was the Nile
Yeah, I'm suffering this right now too. My whole life it was the Amazon
@@camohawk6703 The archons have implanted false memories to confuse and control us more like it.
Could this be biased because the Researcher is Brazilian
why? how does being born on a part of earth where people gave a name, effect your research?
the strength of science is that when the findings are published they can be contested by anyone. if he fudges numbers or moves goal posts to prove a false point, it will in all likelihood be called out and he will be a parish for wasting everyone's time and money. the researcher likely knows this and will hopefully do good science. also dude could be a really honest guy, we don't know him.
Maybe but there will be multiple researches and scientists coming from many backgrounds. Plus it's the last major river to be mapped, the Nile being the most recent and still slightly contested on it start. But the bias that might exist is outweighed by all.other factors
Just like any experiment done by any scientist. Having details, of geography, that can be replicated, or confirmed, is enough to make it acceptable in the eyes of most experts
@@ege8240 ikr? How could being born in a part of the world adjacent to the part you're trying to check (for whether its more impressive than another part) possibly be cause for bias? It's not like humans like to take pride in their place of origin and big it up as much as possible or anything....
This sounds fun
Honestly glorious, even if it doesn't change anything the scientific benefit alone is worth it
Since when was the Amazon being the longest getting contested?
The biggest problem is that the length would change drastically depending on how you messure it. It's like the infinite coast problem. The smaller the messurment, the longer the line.
the solution is simple. just take the same measurement they used to do the nile.
The risks are far greater than the "reward" to be called the longest river in the world.
They will make a Netflix movie about this
And get the races wrong again
So looking it up right now (in km) the Nile is still first with 6650 km and the Amazon comes second with 6575 km. For now at least :>
Wouldn't satellite data allow measurement.
THE RIVER FLOWS FOREVER AND THE BREEZE GOES ON IT'S WAY.
RUBY(C)2006❤😢
I guarantee you this is about exploding the rainforest natural resources... We should be paying Brazil and other countries. A bounty to leave their natural wonders untouched... We cannot deny the people of those regions. The opportunity to the grow, however, that's why we pay the bounty. Then maybe they use that money to make tourism to brazil safer
Measuring rivers also suffers from the coastline paradox, where the lower unit of measurement you use, the longer the measurement is.
Kind of how wire that's all coiled up *looks* small but is actually miles long, imagine if you could de-crumple a river and make it perfectly straight.
“Is a river in Egypt”
Me in my mind: AND YOU HUSBAND IS GA-
The Nile is the longest river in the world this is true
The Amazon is also the Longest river in the world
It’s just the Amazon has many twists and turns while the Nile is much more straight so the Amazon is longer but the Nile stretches a greater distance from point A to point B
I mean, it seems to me like this is an issue or definition, which no amount of careful exploration will resolve.
Tackle the root; define the start and end of a river in no uncertain terms. Then this is easily resolved by satellite
I’m glad to see we’re being productive with our time? 🤨🤨🤨
random bullet entering the researchers head when she proposes to map all of the amazon
That's weird because most of the documentaries I can remember say that it's the amazon river 🤔
Take Rambo with you. You'll be fine.
This is the natural version of D measurement 😂😂😂
