@@garthrogers2269 This is probably the most accurate take on it, it's believed that early hominids first started using fire by "stealing" it from brush fires and lightning strikes, so tending to that fire becomes completely critical. Edit for yea I went and looked up the specifics so I didn't look like I was talking out my ass. Earliest "definitive" archaeological evidence of fire use by Hominids was 1.7 - 2 Million Years Ago by Homo Erectus, and the earliest tools found that are clearly meant for simply sparking fires come from early Neanderthal sites.
So did we for a long time. Even until early modern times, it was more convenient to keep small embers and even small flames perpetually burning than it was to light new fires from scratch.
@@ChrissieBear Hell, sailors would use a "lighter" which was just a well-housed smoldering rope because they couldn't keep an open flame on a wooden ship (for obvious reasons) well past the invention of photography. I'm sure there are some niche cases where emberkeeping in some form is still being used today, maybe the equivalent is truckers keeping their engines running all night because it's more efficient than starting them in the morning?
Lada thought it was established that one was named Garl and the other Dom. Yet only a short time later he was much confused again when Garl called Dom "ahz-oll" and Dom replied back to Garl "Deeg-Hedd". Perhaps those were honorifics of rank.
That was amazing and insightful and related very much to myself. I loved it. If only UA-cam had recommended this channel to me sooner. I could of been empowered sooner. Such inclusivity is brave and amazing. True diversity. Ten outta ten would recommend. Lit.
I am quite glad to be able to state with great joy what I never thought I might state on such an excellent yet unrecognized channel, and as such, rejecting further excesses of verbosity, I shall state, FIRST!
Plot twist, it was a time travel spaceship and they crash-landed on Earth while humans were still evolving into what we would recognise as human. Gifting them the flint and steel instigated the paradox which brought the paradoxical species that is modern humans into existence.
I have enjoyed this story even more than what I normally do when I listen to your narration. It’s you’ve increased your output fairly substantially; how’s your voice holding up to the workload? I would also like to say that I appreciate that you have been featuring other narrators in some of the videos.
Just going back to normal workload from a couple months ago. Voice is doing well , I think its close to 100%. Will wait to see what doc says in the follow-up in a couple weeks
It sounds like it may be flint and steel, rather than something that needs fuel. Still, even flint and steel will wear out eventually. edit: bit of quick googling suggests the steel/wrought iron is the consumable, but that it should last a long time. Of course, flint is subject to flaking, so it will gradually get worn away as well.
When you glitch a primitive specie's tech tree by giving them a ferro rod set
They don't know how to make more so it may as well be an implement of legend that is part of a people's crown jewels.
I wish there was another story thousands of years later when humans meets these aliens again
Well there is this one(s) ua-cam.com/video/pPyVHHIzUmc/v-deo.html with that. Not the space species/world but kinda what you wanted
Gifting them with a means to burn themselves was a very clever trick form the Inquisitor.
Haha self burning witches and heathens.
Part of me wants to say humans are like Prometheus to these xenos but they already had fire, they just struggled with it
Larta is Promethius. This reads just like a classic myth, a mini heros journey story.
They had and used fire, but probably hadn't discovered how to create it yet.

Somebody didn't listen to the prime directive!
the prime directive is crap..if you can help, help..
Tell that to India who are still babying the Sentinel Island inhabitants who haven’t moved on from the Stone Age and murder missionaries.

Many happy salutations my good fellow! Congratulations on your fortune my compatriot!

Reminds me a bit of an oldish movie called "Quest for Fire"
Bless the Squerril

With that 'Hoolah' bit, it makes me think they met marines who were constantly going HOORAH! lol
Another cargo cult was almost born!
Thank you for the video. That was a really sweet story.
a pleasure
For the Author(s), for the narrator Agro Squirrel, for the algorithm !!!
Wow! This is an outstanding story, and your narration is perfect. Thank you.
And every bit of the myth winds up true.
Neat
Good one
For progress and new friends
For the Algorithm, For the Author(s), For the Disembodied Voice!

Hoolah!
indeed
For the gift.
Good story

Ever read The Fuzzy Papers?
the Fuzzy Papers is a fantastic book! :D
Will those firestarters eventually run out of fuel?
