- Early indigenous people in North America were using the number 0 before any other people, had mapped the planets and stars and had their own calendars and writing methods. We also see how the herbs and plants that they used often are utilized in our modern drugs, as in the Yew tree bears components in Tamoxifen for cancer treatment today and the Willow tree has acetylsalicylic acid for aspirin.

We lost so much and we think we've advanced i believe there have been many civilizations that have existed
You should undergo initiation into the mysteries. If your honest with yourself and truly wish to see beyond the dark then the lost word of the master mason will reveal itself and anything you cast your eye on you will consume. With enough tenacity you will be able to expel the contents of all that you consume just as the owl does it’s pellet. It’s your birthright to be wholly and complete. Just as your body developed in the womb of your mother so your mind develops in the womb that is the earth. If you do this all of creation will rejoice upon your birth into heaven, bringing the heavens to earth. You deserve this.

@@samesryals6952 I am a fool lol! That is kind of you to say, but honestly i truly know nothing. Well I’m a competent carpenter. Lol. Are you a fellow craftsman? A rose on the cross?
@@samesryals6952 civilization as it is described today surely began as a singular entity then underwent divisions then reconstituted to a higher order, like we see in cellular mitosis? Or troops of monkeys created a hierarchy stimulated by breeding rights? But then it could be said with a high degree of certainty that a hierarchy of violence must juxtapose that of the breeding. Which of these would you like to think sparked civilization? Or is there a third option? Or both are correct one just preceded a massive catastrophe and the other followed it?
Good talking to you Sam. I’m glad I came across your post. This was interesting to explore. Godspeed without moving my friend. 🙃
Its amazing how brilliant people can be.
This was so good!!! Thankyou👍🏼🌎☀️💙
It would be nice to not be bound by Internet perception🧠🤯
Or internet reception
@@klee6503 well that's simple,go outside Go away from ppl and don't bring anything electric🤙the other single becomes stronger 😜
@@setituptoblowitupYou are very correct. For instance, when I am outside, working in the garden, cooking the harvest, canning the produce. Being outside, without electronics, I am closer to nature, closer to God.
@@lindaseel9986 me to✌️💜 I even take mi shoes of so i can feel the earth sirosly I feel more comfortable/better that way
@@setituptoblowitupOh yes. That is very good.
Ancient aircraft? Drawings and descriptions of aircraft in India Vedic Scripture (5,000 years ago). Referred to as Vimana. Incredible.
Glad I know about that. I tell people and they laugh at me. Also in India entire castles carved out of rock harder than granite so intricate we could not replicate that today.
they use zero as an interval. i used to make video games. most early video games had a lives system and when you had zero lives you would still be playing the game. thats how i understand the concept of zero.
My great grandmother (who i remember fondly and well, I'll add so no "im sure" comments pop up, but i remember her telling me, before white men came her people could cure any known sickness, and thats why they were defeated. Because they lost there magic , and seemed like there god (s) were against them even and there shamans/ healers lost all confidence in themselves, therefore there chiefs didn't have the healer s wisdom to back him not to mention how many people were lost to the diseases who destroyed all that, but some the family said she was Cherokee but considering where my great grandfather met her, windot makes more sense and im almost positive i remember her telling me she was winedot , sadly the ones who could answer that for sure were already gone before I was old enough to realize that i should have asked, funny how some of the simplest of questions you never think to ask can bother you the most after the person who new the answer is already dead .....
I'm part Indian too from the Ozark region, but I don't look it. I don't give a poop about what people look like, and it turns out official Indigenous people don't either. Idgaf about anyone's 23 & me. I believe my grandma. 😂
I grew up in the 70s and 80s in rural Arkansas and Missouri... and we read the Bible and nature books. I'd give anything to talk about their past now, my family history which is the poorest of white trash, but they're all gone now.
I knew a lot of the information on this video who pass on to me from my family in my early years and later from all my elders who they been keeping valuable information after the invasion that spaniels started in the 1500, some of my ancestors where able to escape and only saved our language and few seeds of sacred plants of great importance to us. My ancestors had to travel from the Maya area to the North and climb the Rarámuri mountains and been living there since, is a beautiful place for us and most of our population don’t even get the flu since is very hard for common people from the outside world to have access to reach our communities, the air and water is clean and nights are very dreamy to see the stars.
If it gives you some hope..
Our state (MN) now includes Native American studies course in all schools, as part of the required history credit needed to graduate High School.
"robbed" interesting choice of word. How about near complete anhiliation of indigenous people.
Phlox subulata (Moss Phlox) at 21:00 per IDs provided in response to Joey's submission on iNaturalist, with an observation date in Sep 2023! All 12 other species of Phlox found in Virginia produce a lot more herbage and are adapted to moister microclimates.
Thank you!
The 20 day cycle of the Maya and Cherokee match sequence and function when using the first day Batz and the 20 standard amino acids beginning with Alanine. They even match the inter-relational idiosyncratic chemistry when using this alignment. These also match the sequence and functions of the 20 primordial elements Tin- Ytterbium. Lanthanum in this alignment is Tijax, the flint.
Using symbols of the natural world as a method of communication avoids the schism between memory and thought that is otherwise an unavoidable symptom born of the written word. The overcoming of this schism in one’s lifetime is more rare than one’s lifetime being overcome by death.
Horse-Hair, boiled to kill anything off, sounds like a Perfect "survival" suture.
(My own thought, They said just "Hair", and I would assume, the time before Horses were brought to the Americas.)
At 6:22 what kind of tree did he say that was used for cancer? I looked at the Transcript, but it's not helpful for this.
"Yew tree" I've only known of the yew bush/shrub and thought it was imported from Japan. Plus I think it has a strong toxin.
The Yew tree. It was one of the chemo treatments my medical team used to treat my skin cancer with Taxol.

Native American had the syringe, advanced drugs, antiseptics, surgery and so much else before the Europeans showed up. The europeans copied the Natives to create modern medicine the way they copied Africa music to make modern music, if both cases taking credit for their plagiarism. Native pharmacology is STILL cutting edge. The world needs more Native doctors and historians
The racism is strong in the comments..
It takes a true racist to point out racism.
It’s not racism, it is plain ignorance of something different, non-Western, Non-Church.
OK I have a beef with this presentation. Why does everyone credit the Aztecs with so much? They basically emulated, or copied most of what they used, which had actually in fact, been invented by the Olmecs and Toltecs , then adjusted and perfected by the Mayas , with a slightly different variation, used by the Incas… And the Aztecs just took advantage of what was already there, and adapted it for their own use. They were the ones who carved the Sunstone calendar. The Toltecs did. I wish people would stop doing that. Please do the research. Also, sorry to be a stickler about this, but technically there are a number of different cultural groups in South America that are not strictly speaking “Native Americans”. I definitely would go along with indigenous people, but they do not come from the same cultural ancestors as some of the other first nations people that live in North America. They have different ancestors. Everybody just lumps all this stuff together as a package, and it keeps getting sold as a package deal. I will say that I agree with one point… The ancient people who lived in North America, were indeed, very intelligent, talented, gifted, hard-working, and creative. They had beautiful, spiritual, traditions and beliefs. Many of the things which once were common knowledge have been lost in time. There are a few things that survive though. Luckily, things like the step pyramids, earthworks, Stoneworks, and terraforming are still left behind for us to admire. They were definitely prolific engineers and skilled craftsmen. They had a good teacher.
Yes and they invented the wheel..guns..and rocket propulsion..such BS!
Wow. Not.
I imagine it was because tribes fought bloody wars over territory... and then another tribe came along and won all the wars and then made a nation from disparate tribes.
I imagine there was no cause for bloody wars among the thousands of native tribes before European colonization. Easier to justify the genocide of savages for their lands than it is see them as god loving human being’s
To vague.
Background music is terrible. Computer voices should instead be narrated by a human. Great info but too difficult to watch.
0:13 _We have been here from the beginning._ ~ *NO*
0:21 _Our ancestors navigated by the wind/stars, crossing vast oceans…_ ~ *NO*
0:41 _Philosophers and Scientists_ ~ *NO*
It took less than one (1) minute to pile the buIIshjt nonsense halfway to the ceiling.
Which sounds like nonsense itself.
I always skip these. Like bro no you didnt .
Welcome to history as a construction of what makes people feel good to say, and gives a pleasant feeling to the ear of the deceived. The natives were mostly still living in a hunter gatherer fashion. Our people had science, mathematics and our ships traveled vast oceans truly navigating by stars. But I guess the narrator thought stone age tech. meant the natives were about to build a plane.
@@igy648 The poem/song _'A Blanket, A Bowl & A Stick'_ sums it up.
@@John.Flower.Productions I'm not familiar with the work you sited but I certainly get the point.
The first people in this land were African, the Chinese migrated over the land bridge long after that
Lol for Africans to migrate to America, they needed to cross middle east then to Asia then to Alaska. Africans didn't build ships and can't swim, so they teleported to America 😂
The opening premise was completely wrong and the editor just went with it.
A wise man builds his house upon a rock.
This video was built upon sand.
What part wasn’t true? I’m just starting this, and I already approach all history with a skeptical mind and take it with a grain of salt as the ruling class has robbed us of much of our culture and history.
No the premise was correct. You just don't know what you don't know.
But go on, try to contradict the material that has been extensively studied by archeologists and anthropologists for decades (not to mention historians).
@@danmur2797 I didn’t find anything glaringly untrue, plus they were interviewing our own people in many cases, not white academics. Doesn’t this guy think we would know about our own history?
@@BigTrees4ever exactly
BECAUSE IT'S AFRAKAN SCIENCE!!! DATS WHY!!! DA 1ST PPL, BLACK PPL, WERE DA 1ST SCIENTISTS!!!
Those people came from Siberia and Mongolia. They did not create the 1000 pyramids in the Americas. There are also black Egyptian artifacts in the Grand Canyon. The gig is up and the truth is out.
😂 you’re thinking 30 years ago. Check the DNA and yes Natives American’s built all the pyramids from Canada to Argentina 😂. Why are you in denial? Ask yourself why it bothers you to admit these facts??? 🤔
@@kurtisyoung2965 Everyone knows mongoloids and Siberians are where natives descend from, pyramids are sophisticated technological creation. If natives built pyramids that would mean you are an innovative people. I don’t see any so-called native making advancements in technology or science but I can name hundreds of black Americans who gave you your modern world.
"Real History" has other episodes that are equally over-grasping, over-claiming and over-inflated, whilst also being under-researched, unverified and indefensible wishful thinking. Why be sensationalistic like this? It only mars your credibility. They need better fact-checking and grown-up editors. This suffers from excessive cringe-fatigue.
Yeah, these folks were literally in the stone age, and constantly at war with the other tribes, before Columbus. But, let's change history.
Oh and you know better?
The subjects they talked about in the video have been studied by archeologists and anthropologists for almost a century. It's been well researched and verified over and over, including by historians.
There is nothing cringe here. Except maybe you doing better research instead of suppositions.
@spdav31 Europe was also at war over and over--do we discount discoveries there? Fact-Europens were prone to diseases because they weren't very clean and hadn't discovered that bacteria caused sepsis until Middle Easterners introduced the idea of keeping wounds clean. European streets were filthy (thanks to animal herding) and even palaces in the absence of toilets, were often full of feces after mass feasts that had to be removed. The Aztecs by comparison bathed twice daily, and the city streets were kept clean.
You also misunderstand what it means to be "stone age" mesoamericans for instance used obsidian and jade--strong minerals akin to metal, to shape tools and weapons with the same utility as those made of metal.
A lot of the discoveries and abilities by the Maya, Olmecs, among others have been studied for decades--there is no mistake in what was achieved.
Obsidian is not akin to metal. The Aztecs engaged in large scale human sacrifice. Their civilization would have imploded on its own like the Maya and the Olmecs. They achieved oblivion. Hitler was a clean-freak too. Taking baths in pond water doesn't make you a genius.@@danmur2797
Yea, gimme a break!
Im not shocked at all from the racism comments, racism keep so many people alive to live another day.
