Great vid mate! By the way, where's your show notes? Would be nice to be able to see your sources/journal articles to follow up on. Don't you normally provide links and citations? Keep up the great work!
1:30 Matt you know what a "shaman" is? It is kind of priest/magician who calls for good weather. (In Mongolian language lietrally "a weather man") Are you sure this guy was the one calling for weather, and for example not some magician healer, not an animal whisperer nor a sacrifice-doing priest?
@@Northerner-Not-A-Doctor A shaman is much more than that. A shaman might do weather rituals, but they also do all sorts of other rituals unconnected to the weather. In fact, as you state, shamans are often magicians, healers, animal whisperers, etc. They might do all of those things.
Artists and craftspersons, burial care for their ancestors, fresh water, plentiful game and fish, sound builders… I would like to go back and visit, to see their children playing and how they lived and worked in everyday life, how they cooked and treated their ladies. Fascinating.
The large stone vessels look like they used a rotating platform to grind it or chip it down to size. Precise measurements of the stone geometry would tell if it was made using a rotating fixture or even some kind of pottery wheel to rotate it and work it stone down to fit a template. Many variations of stone working are possible, with several levels of sophisticated stone working technology.
more and more revelations of the history of "mankind". Thank you so much Matt, for going through the findings, and researching the theories. So very much appreciated!!!
@@808bigisland-- I'm not talking about that 😂. Evolution is a biological thing. That's a separate subject from a technological advancement in my opinion.
@@Inks_Inspirations-- Evolution is a biological thing not a technology thing. I'm not sure humans have evolved that much in the last 25,000 years to suddenly become technologically advanced.
Evolution is a pseudoscientific fantasy. What you’re referring to is adaptation within a species. Finch beaks can change shape. Wolves can become Pugs. Organisms can only mutate the genetic information already available, they cannot “evolve” into higher level organisms pulling new genetic information out of the ether. It’s time to grow up and stop believing in 19th century fairy tales
Great contents ! TY Matt for always providing wonderful and good subjects to convey to us. I like very much to know what it was like in prehistoric human societies and how we have progressed. I would like you to also cover how Jomon people of Japan lived 20,000years ago in comparison.
It's kind of amazing that something discover in 1955 is maybe only getting more coverage today. What else is out there, known or unknown, waiting to be shared? Thank you for this video. Subscribed.
Seriously. It’s actually quite infuriating and nauseating the more sites we only learn exist after archaeologists have been diddling themselves in secrecy there for decades.
Great video, and very informative, thanks. I saw on another channel that they found thousands tortoise shells 🐢. An easy prey to catch and the shells would make excellent bowls for eating and storage. 👍 Love your work. Keep educating us 😊
It just seems to strange that all of a sudden, here is an "advanced" group of people. There must be smaller sites of less advancement that led up to all this
It is incredibly difficult to find these sites, so a lesser site would even be more difficult. Also smaller sites might have been worked over already in those days and 'upgraded'. We don't really know for sure how long these sites have been populated. One generation could have just 'erased' what came before it.
There's no "all of a sudden", there's a long line of development from earlier cultures, back through the early Neolithic into the Mesolithic, and further back.
What do you mean all of a sudden? There is no all of a sudden. If you look at things there is a very clear progression of gradual improvements and refinements.
They HAD dogs, they didn't domesticate them... I mean it may have been done around that area but we started teaming up with our wolf brethren 30-40kya.
@@judod97 Alllll the studies on the domestication of dogs is my source. I think he just misspoke, even the conservative end puts dogs well established by 20kya but I wanted to clarify for everyone.
there is always a progression in evolution...start here and end there, slightly or hugely different....this discovery shows that the Tas Tepler sites didn't just suddenly appear..... those folks were the result of thousands of years of previous abode builders....perhaps, even direct descendants of the Natufians....or, as shown, trade was active and the spread of ideas could account for some of the similarities of building styles. good, informative stuff, Matt! thanks and, cheers🍻
How did they identify hyperplasia? …it is a soft tissue phenomenon, so it seems like it would be hard to see… or does it leave a marker that I don’t know about?
there is an excellent way to test that yourselves using your miniatures RC plane models(i love mini stuff. but not minions). try add distorting elements in surfaces of the wings, try lower surface first and then try flying it, and then try upper surface and then try flying it. the distorting stuff could be in form of something random being stick into the surface of the wing that must destroy the airflow on that surface. do it separately between lower surface and then upper. you will notice, since the plane must take off with its standing normally, upper surface facing up, your plane would have no trouble getting lift IF the upper surface is CLEAN. so yes THE UPPERSURFACE is the ones that CREATING THE LIFT. thats why thats the area that the heater are being focus on to eliminate icicles during freezing winters, and why weapon placements and PYLONS is PLACED UNDER THE WING and not at the upper surface. otherwise you wont be able to get any lift. as for the CURVATURE of the upper surface wing, the idea is to SLOW DOWN the airflow skimming the surface oppose to the ambient flow of the air adjacent to it. so the ambient flow will try to FILL the "late" filling areas caused by the slower moving air at the curvature surface. that acting of "filling" the gap creates LIFTING force. but the flow MUST BE SMOOTH. so that the air density does not break apart. if it breaks apart, you lose GRIP. the same mechanism in airplane PROPELLERS which works OPPOSITE to water propellers. its the upper/frontal surface of the blades that is creating the flow force. not the underneath surface. this is also why in airplane, the propellers are being made SHORT IN WIDTH. so the flow DOES NOT BREAKS APART. if the width is too much, the propeller angles could cause vacuum breaks that will disrupt the flow. you dont see airplane having very wide and thick propellers. unlike water ships/boats propellers. you can have long airplane propellers, but not wide. (same understanding in helicopters)
I have long thought it most likely that humans settled around some abundant natural food supply. They could have harvested and consumed grains and pulses which grew wild centuries or millennia before developing agriculture as we know it. And even that could have been a long progression from say, diverting water to add wild crop area, to transporting grain seeds to a different locations, and then to selective cultivation to promote edibility. This seems to be supported by finding evidence of grain consumption that predates the evidence of agriculture.
It might sound strange to you, but I believe that agriculture really started on 'garbage' dumps. That's where the 'left overs' would have been dumped and in wet weather the seeds would have sprouted into plants. It's only a fairly small step then to think of 'dumping' it deliberately and creating a 'field'. And then growing the technology from there, like irrigation and stuff.
So you know for a fact that no-one before them had agricultural practices, how? How do you know that there wasn't an earlier culture that had agricultural practices who we haven't found yet?
Who came before the Natufians? The Flufians. And the transition from Flufian to Natufian is indeterminate, so it very well could have been the Flufians.
It is believed that at one time , skulls and long bones were kept seperate from the rest of the body , Wrapped in skins and kept to bring out for special reasons , such as Feasting , and maybe also for Tribal meetings .🤔🤨
So how can you actually prove the age of these places? It seems to me everything past 5 to 6 thousand years is all guesswork?? No one comes up with any exact proof of anything, I'm not saying you're wrong I'm saying how, 😮
Hard to agree they're responsible for domesticating dogs. It took thousands of years to domesticate wolves into the breed of dogs found here. So unless you can show a direct lineage thousands of years prior to 14,300 years ago, then they merely had the dogs in their company. No, we don't deserve dogs. They were breed as faithful companions long, long, long before the Natufians.
I'm not arguing with you exactly, but it may not have taken so long. I saw a video where this person domesticated foxes and it took less than two decades
@@LastOne155 Yes, but in the end, they were still just tame foxes. It takes 1000's of years to get a poodle from a wolf. You can tell by the photos these Natufian dogs were fully domesticated. ...not wolves
@@LastOne155 What differences? Did they end up with poodles after two decades? and besides, I was just pointing out his error. ..It's a known fact there is archaeological evidence dogs were the first animals domesticated by humans more than 30,000 years ago (more than 10,000 years before the domestication of horses and ruminants) So, NO! the Natufians were not to first domesticate dogs.
@@moemuggy4971 Oh no. I'm not saying Natufians were the first to domesticate dogs. i was just saying that it probably didn't take as long as you might think. The foxes started acting like dogs actually. Go search for it and check it out. It is interesting. It was in Russia
You mentioned trade with Cappadocia, do you think there might be 14,300 year old cultures there? Between Cappadocia and the Levant? Along the Black Sea? I mean, if there was trade, there must be other cultures.
my whole life I've had a definition of Red Lines, lines to never cross as a democracy, I don't know what is going on, but definitely something is going on, The big picture, any ideas? For example, how close are we to Civil War, from the end of the Civil War, on a scale of 5 to 10, how close are we? Excuse my manners, Professor Dershowitz, for the start, so I should have started, Dear Professor Dershowitz....
No it hasn't............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
I don't personally believe we were uplifted as there is literally no evidence of such, but the start and development of civilization as modern people think of it did us no favor all those thousands of years ago. Eat like a goat, live as a goat, soon enough you just a goat
This invention of agriculture in the fertile cescent, that's a misconception. Wheat is from Ethiopia. Peas, cucumbers and rice are from India. Corn, tomatos, cotton and cacao are from the Americas. It's all cultivated crop. They all invented agriculture. Even before the Natufians. You eat bread. But that's not the whole story!
Close, but please be a tad more careful: this is just one culture, for which we have evidence. It seems obvious (to me) that there must have been thousands if not tens of thousands of human cultures (for we have yet to find evidence, or for which evidence has been lost) which were either more or less advanced than this lot. So, it's a data-point. A piece of evidence; as such it tells us some things, but can say very little wrt the reality of global human development from, say, 250,000 BCE. Agreed?

There are still tribes living like this.
