More fascinating early history, yes please Ben, we likes it! I have read of a widespread matriarchal culture around the Black Sea prior to its deluge, and it is easy to surmise that women were regarded with some awe for being the receptacles of new life, possessing quasi-magical properties, etc. An evolutionary biologist would also see in the veneration of womanhood an evolutionary imperative at work, obviously. The women are the lifeblood of the tribe.
@@acaydia2982 you must be mighty clever to know what people thought 6000 years ago! Actual evidence showed burial rituals were different for men and women. There is a preponderance of female figurines. A pair of kings were set to rule in tandem, but the likelihood is that the priesthood would have been female.
@@cargumdeu All female priesthood or medicine women still wouldn’t be a matriarchy. We know that matriarchies don’t survive. Scientists know this. We’re just fed a bunch of nonsense in school now. I am a woman by the way. Thats like saying because the Romans had female figures, a female oracle and female temple prostitutes that they lived in a matriarchy.
For some reason 25,000 years ago seems more interesting & sort of relevant to me than ‘Facebook’ These things are our ancestors work & speak to my heart, our hearts, more than TikTok. Thanks again. A breath of knowledge we need. (BTW I reckon those older Cave Venus things were Stone Age porn, found found broken & thrown on middens, made to be felt in the dark) These later sculptures are more ‘art’ methinks. Even possibly personal. Now I imagine the future.
Be serious bro. If there is disdain in society for Western European culture, is a reaction in objection to the colonial violence and oppression of other cultures that has been happening for the last 500 years. You’re talking about an object that is 25,000 years old. The culture that created this is in no way connected to the culture that you say is currently being belittled. And this object is not a part of any exclusive inheritance that is “yours.” It is 25000 years old! It is ALL OF US who inherit this, as its mysteries are a part of the story of all humanity - not just a story that is exclusively yours.
The culture has certainly changed since those times, however, there is connection between many modern people of European descent and the people who lived then. One of the reasons for my interest in videos like this is that my MtDNA haplogroup (U5B2a1a1) is a direct descendant of that which was widespread in the times that are subject of this video. This indicates that in spite of being separated by a great year (or there about) there is a connection between them and me, they would be my direct ancestors. Regarding "colonial violence", no living native European person were involved in those events.Very few European people at the time actually had any influence in any case. Last time I checked, guilt is not inheritable, for example should any descendants of Jack the ripper be sent to jail for his ancestors crimes! Why should ordinary European people be happy with the loss of their homeland and future because of injustice inflicted by the actions of the past ruling elites. In any case, it was the modern people who provided the necessary political support to those colonized to eventually get their homelands back.
I was thinking the same, maybe it's the flatness of the nose and depression of the nasal bridge that does it. But this very much depends on the angle of how you look at her.

Early history is fascinating, lets see more! Always thought the head was a portrait of a young girl not a representation of a goddess.
I think she is young too.
Yeah, could be a child's doll, for all we know, eh?
Yes, to more early history. Loved this.
Thank you.
Seconded
Seconded
really great video and great conclusions. One of your best so far.
Thank you very much.
To me this looks like it's made for personal reason. Love, not religion. It's been my favorite depiction of a young female for many years now...
♥️🌅🎶
Agree with you.

Indeed, we must appreciate and value women.
@@BenLlywelyn i have always been a feminist Ben, I especially appreciate the good looking ones.
They were valued as they are today, but it was never matriarchal. Feminist propaganda knows no bounds.

If you want to trample the West, no one is forcing you to live here.
Huh? Wrong side of the bed today, or always hateful? Creating your own content might be helpful, challenging & therapeutic...

You sound like a Marxist.
"She's" a dude
Some are of this opinion.
She looks African
Could be.
How?
@@domca4617 the hair could be representative of dreads but I agree that it also looks like having a veil over it too
Since when are dreads exclusive to Africans? (Not to mention that it barely looks like them)@@Mr-__-Sy
