It appears that for most of human history, from around 300,000 to 10,000 years ago, people lived in small, homogeneous nomadic groups of roughly 150 kin members as hunter-gatherers. Then, with the advent of shared beliefs, deities, and values to maintain cohesion and the advent of agriculture and animal domestication to sustain larger numbers, humans began to form larger settlements of thousands of people between 10,000 and 4,000 BCE. Starting around 4,000 BCE, these settlements grew into more complex and differentiated societies, with varying wealth and social roles based in their production and managment. By around 3,000 BCE, with the advent of copper tools, hierarchical societies with centralized leadership, such as kings, began to emerge, as seen in the Ubaid society in the Mesopotamian region of the Near East.
I live in south brazil, work with bees. I didnt know anything about those lizard statues before, but a year ago I eat psicodelis cubensis in the field and I saw a naga with big red eyes moving around my hives as if it was analizing it. Very similar to the ubaid statues, but no legs. I know it sounds waaaaay too much crazy, but was craziest that I can explain.. this "animal" noticed me looking at him and stop with a body expression like it was saying "wtf! how can you see me?", and entere the forest behind him. Maybe lizard have something related to a instinct printed in our hardware as a defense system.. or maybe it was a cloacked alien because under the psilocibin effect the brain works in a different way processing sensorial inputs.. different areas of the brain take over the areas that usually do this job who knows...
You must have taken a large dose. I've never hallucinated on Psilocybin from mushrooms, but maybe the variety you have in Brazil is more powerful than the mushrooms I took in Hawaii in 1969 and 1970 and in California in 1975 and 1976. I've hallucinated with LSD, but nothing close to red-eyed lizards. But. I don't have bee hives to attract nagas.
I cannot wait till the moment it would be possible to keep going on with the excavations. study and interpretation of the finds: 10 years lost to science due to tragic political fights. Only losses, no gains at all, for all humankind. For Syrian people is much, much worse, The times MUST change!
Indeed, he didn't talk about many things... Namely the ubaid cubit. But i mean, you can't talk about everything in an hour, this takes days to methodically explain and interpret. Overall a good presentation in my book.
Sven, the interpretation may not be much of a story. These were simple farmers, they had prestige goods, they had some social differentiation, they had a shared culture with other sites in the region and they must have done some trading for goods outside their region. What more is there to tell?

Thank you for the five minute introduction. I’m so glad you didn’t edit it out!

Too much a presentation of finds and to little an interpretation of the finds.
