He's a little kooky according to "scientists" and while he's very conclusory in some places, I can't find a thorough debunking of his claims for any of the sites he's explored and makes part of his biggest claims, much less a debunking of all of them. He seems perfectly reasonable and his main complaint is that no one in the mainstream is willing to do the research to debunk him.

But their estimates of when we became behaviorally modern all rest on tools that have be recovered to date. I was taught that for like 500k years we made no tools besides the hand axe, then all of a sudden we started making fish hooks and fishing nets (we don't have the nets themselves, just the "needles" that would have been used to weave them). At the same time we have megaliths that were undoubtedly built well before we supposedly became "behaviorally modern." So there's an obvious discrepancy there that isn't being explained.

you see hints of relative advancement here and there. but there is a lot of bias because only stoneworks can survive for long. there have likely been ancient peoples who were extremely advanced in woodworking (for their time) who didn't maek it.
it is, however, exceedingly unlikely there was one really big, world-spanning civilization that was lost. |

Over a long enough timeline everything either erodes into the sea and/or gets covered up by layers and layers of vegetation. The sites we've uncovered to date are either located in regions where erosion was less of a factor (Egypt, anatolia, Malta) or regions where there hasn't been enough time for the jungle to TOTALLY overwhelm whatever was there. Even in Egypt, we only have archaeological remains in "upper egypt." We don't have shit from the nile delta where it flooded all the time. |

Why did humans evolve to be able to run long distances if not persistence huntin
What it looks like happened was there was a race of superhumans who evolved in the himalayas who were later forced to move to lower elevations as the himalayas got taller. These people would have had incredible cardiovascular strength relative to the ground dwelling cousins, and either displaced them after or wiped them all out. |

That's because the Romans and Greeks were known for their technical prowess. No one is saying the Chinese couldn't have built the Great Wall of China. But people who were living in mud huts and had no technical skill to speak of couldn't have built intricate cities out of carved stone. Stonehenge, one of the examples of something the people of that era couldn't have built, involved white people. Basically, the attempt to inject race into this is forced. |

One of his main theses is that there was a horrible comet event that might have led to the ice age (younger dryas) and that afterwards and before, people created monuments to watch the stars for future comets and prepared underground living quarters in case it happened again. These "comets" were represented by snake-like figures in the monuments.
I'm not sure I agree that people were using snake-like figures to describe comets, but I do find it very eerie that there are so many snake-like figures and myths of people coming out of the sea to spread knowledge about farming, technology, etc.
It also aligns with the biblical story of adam and eve in Genesis (where a snake tricked them into eating of the tree of good and evil, which could represent technology). It's starting to appear more supernatural that so many myths held by societies have snake-like figures teaching old civilizations about how to do things and then a great flood destroying everything.
There are a lot of things missing -- like you'd think there would be way more dominant structures or some cohesive evidence that something like a comet strike happened or that supernatural snake-like people traveled the world to share knowledge about how to succeed as a society. But it doesn't feel fulfilling as an explanation to the question of why so many myths aligned in this way and that there is so much similar symbology around the world during times in which people couldn't travel the world easily. |
|
Date: December 26th, 2022 6:21 PM Author: Confused mental disorder "It also aligns with the biblical story of adam and eve in Genesis (where a snake tricked them into eating of the tree of good and evil, which could represent technology)"
I thought of the very same thing here. The entire story of Adam and Eve, where they lived in a "paradise" until the snake convinced them to eat from the tree of knowledge, may have coincided with the people coming to spread technology and then environmental collapse happened (not as a result, but that's not how ancient humans thought).
However, note that the snake imagery doesn't necessarily denote evil. In Western mythology snakes are bad but that isn't universally true. |

Date: December 26th, 2022 10:57 PM Author: stimulating indian lodge True -- but I think the theory would be that if satan introduced technology and general advancement to people before they were evolutionarily ready, it might result in the problems we're having now (massive warfare, nuclear Armageddon, etc.). It could be plausible that we were separated and set back from a great flood as judgment since we were on a bad path and not ready for the technological advancements provided.

2 doesn't really hurt it either, it just makes the work harder. For that matter, those stone T columns probably supported heavy weights (that's why we use them today). So while the series assumes they were out in the open that actually makes no sense. It is just that anything built on top wouldn't survive thousands of years, but the stones did. |

Date: December 29th, 2022 1:15 PM Author: maroon idiot coffee pot Oh and FUCK my UG prof for dismissing the Olmecs as proto-Mayans who just carved some big heads and then disappeared. Pre-mayan architecture is too goddamn advanced for any precursors to the Mayans to be dismissed as anything. The only reason we can say Mayan civilization was bigger/more advanced than any precursor civilization is because there simply wasn't enough limestone for anyone else to use for construction on that scale. It looks like the Maya actually exhausted the limestone supply, like bronze age civs exhausting tin mines. A comparably sized civilization could have left behind stone structures that were later consumed by the environment, but I don't think they could have used limestone and I don't know what other sources of stone were sufficiently abundant 12k years ago. Olmec carvings are also too varied and intricate to be created by a bunch of blockheads. "The wrestler" probably isn't a wrestler but more likely some sort of magician/priest in some sort of trance like state. It's a really moving sculpture to behold in person.
This also gets back to my comment about quarries. Like the Egyptians, we can find the actual quarries Mayans used to build their shit. As this series illustrates in episode 1, geologists are already quite adept at determining where certain stone materials were sourced, so unless the quarries are now submerged (or perhaps even if they are submerged) it should be possible to get at least a rough idea of where to look for the quarries used to build some of these works. In general I'm disappointed with the lack of attention given to this topic in this series, because geology can often assist us in dating these structures through chemical analysis. Even if the stone is old as fuck, we can sometimes tell how long ago it was cut by analyzing stuff in the local environment that tends to accumulate on the surface once the stone is cut or becomes exposed to the open air. We can also look at surface of the cuts to try to figure out what was used to cut it. There may be trace residue from the cutting material or microscopic features that give us clues. |

Date: December 27th, 2022 1:56 PM Author: maroon idiot coffee pot LMAO this guy is 180. What he's saying about the earth's wobble affecting the position of the sun and stars relative to earth is 100% legit and is well known to people who study ancient Mexico. There are some Mayan structures that don't quite "work" as intended today for exactly that same reason. As soon as he mentioned these temples in Malta being out of alignment with the stars I started shouting in my head "bbbut the earth's wobble..." and then a few minutes later that's exactly where he went.
This really does beg for further investigation. I don't know if he's right about snakes and "giants" or whatever, but he's absolutely right that archaeologists need to get off their asses and take a hard look at this stuff.
I'll add that the lack of tools is a big wtf, because it's not like we lack tools from that era. We have hand axes, spearheads and arrowheads from that era, so we actually have a fuckload of tools, just not tools we associate with this kind of stoneworking anywhere except Egypt. Also, that old Turkish map showing an island off the coast of Florida, and maps tracing the ice age shape of antarctica, suggests that ancient people were writing things down, making maps, etc. wayyyyyy the fuck back before we have any record of that technology existing.
Fuck anyone who rips on this guy. He's doing good journalism, putting forth bold hypotheses, and hopefully forcing archaeologists to do their goddamn jobs. If this guy is full of shit they ought to be able to explain why. |

Maybe we shrank over time or interbred with them but retained some of that ability due to selection pressure.

If Africans are just as smart as everyone else, and they never built shit until recently, it stands to reason that no one else could have built anything that long ago either.

Date: December 28th, 2022 4:50 PM Author: maroon idiot coffee pot No the point is that non-Africans DID build amazing megalithic structures at various times throughout history, but as far as anyone can tell Africans never did. No one has ever found jack shit in Africa, whereas someone definitely built some impressive pyramids and other massive structures in ancient mesoamerica.

Date: December 28th, 2022 4:39 PM Author: maroon idiot coffee pot It doesn't seem like it should be THAT hard to figure out how some of these structures were built. In egypt we can find quarries where the stone was dug out to create ancient monuments, and we can tell how it was dug out and carved, and we can even find examples of monuments they fucked up. Like this obelisk that cracked while it was being created:

The climates are also helpful in the ME vs. many of these places. You can find stuff from wars going back 50+ years in the ME nicely preserved because of the dry climate. In a place like Indonesia that isn't going to happen. (https://autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5258361&forum_id=2#45707666) |

Date: December 28th, 2022 4:51 PM Author: maroon idiot coffee pot If the stones at Gobekli Tepe are so well preserved why wouldn't the quarries also be preserved? I can see tools being rare for a lot of reasons - for one thing they may not have been made of stone - but the quarries were undoubtedly made of stone. Maybe the quarries around Malta got submerged but Gobekli Tepw isn't near the sea. (https://autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5258361&forum_id=2#45707720) |

The idea that GT was just a seasonal gathering place for hunter gatherers has always struck me as cope from archaeologists who are trying to shoehorn something that is paradigm shifting into their preexisting worldview. I think ten years from now the consensus will be different. |

Date: December 28th, 2022 10:54 PM Author: maroon idiot coffee pot One thing that always occurs to me when I read about this shit is that anything that old was probably looted and vandalized 800 times before it got buried in sand or eaten by the jungle. It would actually be shocking if we found an ancient cache of tools from 12k years ago. Ancient Egyptians were already looting royal tombs in ancient times and successive dynasties kept coming up with ways to keep them out, eventually burying mummies up inside little grottos inside cliffs that were nearly impossible to reach. King Tut was a big deal mostly because we found his tomb undisturbed, not because he was anything special as a pharaoh. Also as the dood points out, there were so many wars in some of these places that old structures would have been occupied by armies and possibly wrecked by then. If you go to Hue you can tour the remains of an ancient palace that Americans blew to bits after the Tet Offensive. There's hardly anything there, just piles of rubble, and that all happened during one battle on one war. (https://autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5258361&forum_id=2#45709613) |

Date: December 29th, 2022 1:31 PM Author: maroon idiot coffee pot Hey libs, it looks like maybe we DID find tools at Gobekli Tepe and it looks like maybe they were doing some sort of agriculture there, unless you think hunter gatherers were gathering large volumes of whatever grains these tools were used to process:
"Using a combination of use-wear studies, experimental archaeology, and microscopy, Dietrich analyzed the way in which the stones had been worn down over time and showed that they had been used to process grains and legumes. She identified chemical residues on many of the vessels that provided evidence they had been used to cook vats of porridge or perhaps the occasional batch of prehistoric beer. “Most probably,” Dietrich says, “these people were cultivators, or at least had strategies to gather large quantities of wild grain.”
https://www.archaeology.org/issues/422-2105/sidebars/9715-gobekli-tepe-tools
JFC imagine being sophisticated enough to gather enough wild grain to make beer, and having the technology and the labor to carve these stone structures, but never thinking to farm the grain or do any sort of selective breeding. And why is this one German bitch doing all the work here by herself? Why did these tools get ignored for 20 years before she started analyzing them? If this bitch had chosen even a slightly different career path we would know NOTHING about any of this because libs are apparently too busy screaming "das racist" to do any actual science. What the fuck, libs? Why do we have thousands of researchers across all the natural sciences trying to prove global warming is real but only ONE who is studying any of this?

Date: February 3rd, 2023 12:45 PM Author: maroon idiot coffee pot Most knowledge of astronomy used by recent people did not leave such durable traces as Stonehenge. But such knowledge could be crucial to their ways of life.
Consider all the peoples who have relied upon the stars for navigation. In their eyes the stars are more than points of light, they are a map leading to every corner of the Earth. The constellations are signs that people connect to stories, and learning those stories teaches their children the ways to derive time and position from the sky. For the peoples of the Pacific, such astronomical signs were part of a broader system of meteorological signs: winds, clouds, wave motions and animals all contributed to their navigational knowledge. The stars, ocean, and Earth were one connected system.
It is the human ability to recognize signs that enables us to see such connections. That ability goes very far back into our evolution. Early hunters' success or failure depended on their ability to read the trackways left by their prey animals. Those signs were as much a part of their landscapes as the stars. The tracks also appeared and disappeared, indications of the passing of animals and time.
Hunting and foraging peoples have recognized the same trackways among the stars. Many have recognized hunters, prey, tracks, and weapons among the constellations. They have recognized stars that are high during the birth seasons or migration seasons of animals.
Ancient African peoples, Neandertals, even populations going back hundreds of thousands of years made marks on objects. Those marks were made by sign-users. The ancient hominins who could make and use signs would have seen signs in the stars. I think we can be sure that the signs in the sky were apparent to some of the earliest members of our genus, Homo.
The deepest signs in the sky are those that connect to human social realities. None have been more significant to cultures around the world than cycles of fertility. And no astronomical observation is more striking than the moon.
Some peoples have seen the moon as the cause of menstruation, others imagined a deep connection between the moon and the feminine way of being. Nearly all have recognized the coincidence in timing between the lunar cycle and the average menstrual cycle.
Could this have been true in the past? Some anthropologists think that the early use of red mineral pigments was a part of rituals that were symbolic representations of menstruation. Evidence of such pigment use goes back as far in many parts of the world as evidence of markings. Those markings themselves, sometimes etched sequences of lines on pieces of bone, look in many cases like counts of some kind. Some suspect that they were lunar counts.
We do not know whether the ovulatory timing of ancient human relatives was similar to our own. It may have been different: Cycles in chimpanzees and bonobos are variable and longer on average than the average human cycle. Different humans have menstrual cycles that vary in length, so that the apparent synchronicity of the average and the lunar cycle holds true only for some, and only for a limited time.
Yet somehow that lack of consistency has not dimmed people's concepts of a connection between the moon and menstruation. Signs have a power over our minds. Once a connection is seen, or imagined, our thoughts tend to warp to fit it.
Thus amid the powers that shape the Earth, seen and unseen, our ancestors looked up to the unchanging stars. And when the sky changed, they noticed.
