Imagine, you are a Neanderthal and you are freezing in your cave during the winter months. There is no meat left on the carcass of last weeks kill. You take a bone and begin harvesting the marrow. As you suck the last morsels of sustenance a hallow single note whistle tells you that it is almost empty. Then, as you adjust your grip, your finger slides off of a foramen and the whistle's pitch changes. This delights you as you finger the foramen's whole creating a two-note trill capturing the immediate attention of your cavemates.

Neanderthal flute easily beats all the pop music that surrounds us, at least for me. It is hauntingly beautiful!

[@ami443]

Neanderthal is NOT homo sapiens !
You and me are HOMO SAPIENS.
Neanderthal were a totally different species !

What is the source of your information about these instruments and how they sounded like. Very amazing

[@whatabouttheearth]

They're just finding random ancient instruments.
Many of these instruments are still used, that's how we know what they sound like, or we have them in museums if they are not still used. Look into Music Archeology, it's interesting
And never trust an AI produced channel like this.

Informative!

[@Nur-dh1ju]

Love your channel, very fascinating.

[@TheBullethead]

You neglected rattles entirely, not to mention most very old drums. The only saving grace is the Neanderthal flute. But the flute, however ancient, was only the "lead guitar" backed up by the rhythm section of drums and rattles. I dare anybody who hears those 3 instruments played around a campfire not to kick off their shoes and dance. That's hardwired into us.

The amount of inaccuracy in this video is remarkable. Please refrain from posting false information. I highly encourage followers of this channel to search for yourselves rather then take this channel as factual and historical.

There are many ancient Indian instruments like sitara, tabla, etc. you should have cover them

[@arnavranka4510]

Sitar, Tabla etc are medieval era instruments; and have foreign influence. The ancient versions are Veena and Dholak.

[@nikhil-zz6mr]

@@arnavranka4510 yep

[@JARJCC97]

you know I was wondering if you can do more digital recreations of the greek gods and maybe stop on by to the other pantheons

[@adelahmadi4345]

By the way daf is a Kurdish ancient instrument & we have tamura that 2500 years old

[@DemeterTelphousia-Erinyes]

Tutankhamen died in 1323 BC, not 5000 BC

[@katerinathatcher7004]

Very good.

[@ShahanshahShahin]

But that instrument is 5000 years old

[@mattmccaslinjjj]

How do you know?

[@timothy4664]

That's not what the text said. It referred to the trumpets. Reading comprehension matters

[@SinisterChris]

Maybe that style of trumpet dates back to as early as 5000 BCE, but is called Tut's trumpet because it was found originally in his tomb?

[@papazataklaattiranimam]

Dombra?

[@Fbiwatchlistmemes]

Ney reminded me of Bhagwan Krishn, because Persians and Indians are extremely related. Persian is more similar to Sanskrit
