Humans are the dominant life form on Earth
- capable of such great changes to earth that the Anthopocene age has been named after them
- Our technological marvels and constant innovation have created an advanced civilisation that
spans the globe and travels in space. weve been told humans became this wondrous people
from a loose bands of hunter gathers, scattered around the globe some 10000 yrs ago - before
that time humans were cavemen - an illiterate people with no technology, unable to navigate
the seas or cultivate crops - living a simple existence - with basic tools - they build
no lasting monuments or structures of any kind..anywhere. Furthermore the current epoch
of history represents humanities one and only rise to advanced civilisation and global influence
- or so we have been told - but this is not the case. - human history on earth is being
rewritten by astounding new discoveries. Discoveries that change our knowledge and understanding
of human civilisation, migration and evolution on this planet. Its a story that some have
guessed at in the past and many have speculated about. Now thanks to the latest discoveries
in the field of archeology and genetics more of our past has been revealed than ever before
- this then is the new history of humanity.... Tool use and meat eating 3.4 MA
these bones were found in Ethiopia by Shannon McPherron of the Max Planck Institute for
Evolutionary Anthropology - the Marks on these fossilised animal bones
indicate that early-human butchers were using stone tools as early as 3.4 million years
ago. The finds suggest that the evolution of tool use and meat-eating among our human
ancestors is more complex than existing theories admit. They also add to a growing body of
evidence that A. Afarensis may have been more human-like and less primitive than some
have assumed. mcpherron and his colleagues claim - the find is evidence that The first
known human tool wielder and meat lover was Australopithecus Afarensis, the only known
hominid species present in the region at the time. "Our ancestors were carving meat some
800,000 years earlier than previously thought. this discovery pushes back in time, two of
the fundamental behaviours that played such an important role in human evolution – meat
consumption and tool use,. the idea that the origins of stone tool use, meat consumption
and the origins of our genus Homo all occurred together, around 2.5 million years ago." is
no longer accurate - Instead, hominids experimented with stone tools to help them eat meat and
marrow much earlier. 1 million years earlier tool making - 2.9 MA
Up until now, the earliest clear evidence of making stone tools came from a 2.6-million-year-old
site in Ethiopia. An early human ancestor called Homo habilis likely made them. Similar
“Oldowan style” tools, known for choppers with one refined edge, have been discovered
at several other sites in East and Southern Africa. But a new collection of stone tools
discovered in Kenya belong to a second, more advanced generation of toolmaking. Known as
Acheulian tools after a prominent archaeological site in France, they are larger, heavier and
have sharp cutting edges that are chipped from opposite sides into the familiar teardrop
shape. "The Acheulian tools represent a great technological leap," says Dennis Kent, a geologist
from Rutgers University in New Jersey . The Discovery of their earlier manufacture suggests
early humans were wielding sophisticated stone tools at least 300,000 years earlier than
thought - 1.9 MA - evolutionary evidence in human fossils shows that tool use and tool
making coupled with meat eating increased the size of the human brain and facilitated
the appearance of specialized gripping muscles for our thumbs and larger brains . The brains
of early hominids were about the same size as that of a chimpanzee. however During the
next million years or more a process of encephalization began, by the time of the arrival of Homo
Erectus in the fossil record, cranial capacity had doubled to 850cc - Randall Susman, University
of Chicago posits that - the modern anatomy of the human thumb is an evolutionary response
to the requirements associated with making and handling tools — He compared bones and
muscles of human and chimpanzee thumbs, finding that humans have 3 muscles which are lacking
in chimpanzees. Humans also have thicker metacarpals with broader heads, allowing more precise
grasping than the chimpanzee hand can perform. Hunting 2 MA Until recently the oldest, unchallenged evidence
of human hunting came from a 400,000-year-old site in Germany - the evidence came from marks
left by spears on horse bones - horses were clearly being speared and their flesh eaten.
but new Evidence from ancient butchery site in Tanzania - -shows early man used complex
hunting techniques to ambush and kill antelopes, gazelles, wildebeest and other large animals
at least two million years ago.- The discovery – by anthropologist Professor Henry Bunn
of Wisconsin University – pushes back the definitive date for the beginning of systematic
human hunting - by hundreds of thousands of years.
Two million years ago, our human ancestors were small-brained apemen previously many
scientists assumed the meat they butchered and ate had been gathered from animals that
had died from natural causes - or had been left behind by lions, leopards and other carnivores
- "We know that humans ate meat two million years ago," said Bunn, - What was not clear
was the source of that meat. However, we have compared the type of prey killed by lions
and leopards today with the type of prey selected by humans in those days. This has shown that
men and women could not have been taking kill from other animals - or eating those that
had died of natural causes. They were selecting and killing what they wanted."
Once our species got a taste for meat, it was provided with a dense, protein-rich source
of energy. We no longer needed to invest internal resources on huge digestive tracts - previously
required to process vegetation and fruit. This new, energy-rich resource was then diverted
inside our bodies and used to fuel our growing brains. over the next two million years our
crania grew, producing species of humans with increasingly large brains
Cooking & Fire 1.5 MA The ability to use fire is regarded as a key
step in human development because it gave us access to cooked foods and new technologies.
Evidence to determine exactly when humans acquired fire has been difficult to verify
- claims that the skill existed very early in human development have been challenged,
by sceptics arguing the fire remains from open sites, could have been the result of
natural blazes ignited by lightning. - In 2012 Scientists announced the finding of new
evidence that our ancestors were using fire as early as a million years ago. It takes
the form of ash and bone fragments recovered from Wonderwerk Cave in South Africa. scientists
say the sediments in this cave show frequent, controlled fires were lit on the site. their
research describes burnt remains of grasses, brushes, leaves and even bones some 30m back
from the entrance. The depth of the sediments suggests fires were lit on the same spot over
and over again. This makes it far less likely that what they are viewing is material from
wildfires that was simply blown into the cave by wind. If correct, the Wonderwerk discovery
would push the earliest indisputable controlled use of fire back - by about 300,000 years
- earlier evidence from .East African sites, such as Chesowanja near Lake Baringo, show
possible evidence that fire was utilised by early humans. archaeologists found red clay
sherds dated to be 1.42 Mya.[4] Reheating on these sherds show that the clay must have
been heated to 400 °C (752 °F) to harden - this evidence of sustained heating makes
it likely humans were using fire at least 1.5 MA. Brain size It is already accepted that the addition of
meat in our ancestors' diet caused their brain size to increase and intelligence to grow.
the more concentrated form of energy - not only meant bigger brains for our ancestors,
but also reduced foraging time needed to maintain energy levels. As a consequence, more time
was available for social structure to develop. - Harvard Professor Richard Wrangham claims
it is not just a change in our diet, but the way in which we prepared meat that has caused
the radical evolution of our species." cooking is arguably the biggest increase in the quality
of the diet in the whole of the history of life," "Our ancestors most probably dropped
food in fire accidentally. They would have found it was delicious and that set us off
on a whole new direction." The eating of meat ties in with an evolutionary shift resulting
in a more human-looking ancestor with sharper teeth and a 30% bigger brain, called Homo
Habilis. - The most momentous shift however, happened 1.8 million years ago when Homo Erectus
- our first "truly human" ancestor arrived on the scene. - Homo Erectus had an even bigger
brain, smaller jaws and teeth.. Shorter arms and longer legs appeared, gone was the large
vegetable-processing gut, meaning that Erectus could not only walk upright, but could also
run. He was cleverer and faster, and - according to Professor Wrangham - he had learned how
to cook."Cooking made our guts smaller,""guts are costly in terms of energy. Individuals
that were born with small guts were able to save energy, have more babies and survive
better." he says. "Once we cooked our food, we didn't need big guts. here we are then 1 MA - humans are making
sophisticated tools, controlling fire - hunting animals, cooking food - their brain size has
increased to almost modern proportions - these people are known as Homo Erectus they are
the first of the hominid to leave Africa, spreading through Africa, Asia, and Europe
between 1.3 to 1.8 million years ago. - you would think such a well equipped predator
and social organiser would prosper and their population would expand but for some reason
the population of humans
on earth 1 mya was reduced by some unknown event to around 20,000 breeding individuals
- making them an endangered population on the brink of extinction - Planet Earth is a dangerous place - life faces
many challenges to survive , ice ages, climate change, major impacts from space, volcanism
fire flood pole shifts - - so far in our 4 million year journey humans has beaten the
odds - but its been close - 1 million years ago the gene pool of humanity was reduced
to around 20,000 individuals - for about a million years, our species was more endangered
than the gorillas and chimpanzees are today. For all that time, the global human population
did not exceed 26,000 individuals, and dropped to as low as 18,500 hominids. geneticist Lynn
B. Jorde and colleagues at the University of Utah claim our earlier ancestors, had more
genetically-diversity than we do today. and that a catastrophic event took place at a
global scale some 1 million years ago, - that event generated the genetic bottleneck, and
endangered our species- This period fragile clinging to life came to an end about 70,000
years ago.with another near extinction and genetic bottleneck caused by the toba eruption
in Indonesia - . after this time, our ancestors reemerged from Africa, into Europe, the middle
East Asia and america - humans it seems have been repeatedly on the verge of going extinct.
new discoveries reveal that many of the major natural cataclysm played a part in the continued
evolution and history of humanity.. ice age glaciation
The cause of glaciation is related to several simultaneously occurring factors, such as
astronomical cycles, atmospheric composition, plate tectonics, and ocean currents.[4] for
the last 2.5 million yrs earths has been in the quaternary ice age The climate has experienced
periodic glaciations with continental glaciers moving as far from the poles as 40 degrees
latitude. there have been at least 12 periods of glaciation and interglacial warming in
the last 1 million yrs each lasting between 40 and a 100 k years. - ice ages by their
nature affect the climate - changing weather patterns lead to floods droughts famines - coastline
variations - some open or close land bridges , continents sink and rise - emerging migratory
human populations inhabited and then abandoned areas of the earth as ice sheets expanded
or collapsed - Pole shifts geomagnetic excursions-
between 1.2 million and 800,000 yrs ago the earths poles flipped 4 times with an average
period of 125,000 yrs between each - the effects of pole shifts on earth are contentious - some
claim the effects are catastrophic, featuring earth crust displacement , earthquakes widespread
vulcanism ,increased cosmic radiation and climate change. whatever the truth of these
theories - new research in many fields shows that ife has a complex and interdependent
relationship with earths electro magnetic energy field - humans and indeed all life
on earth is inextricably woven into the earths electromagnetic activity - loss or diminution
of the magnetosphere increases radiation possibly leading to mutation birth defects and sickness
-
pole reversal would alter migratory routes of birds fish and even mammals - regardless
of the scale of the impact on humans its affect would be tangible and long lasting - with
each pole shift taking between 1 10 kyrs to complete and being accompanied by major excursions
of the poles before and after volcanism and tectonic disruption
the role of earthquakes and volcanoes as isolated events unconnected to glaciation or pole shift
is well documented - large basalt culderras a e known to open up periodically on earth
releasing vast amounts of greenhouse gases dimming the suns rays and creating cooler
climates locally or globally - The Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) devised by Chris Newhall
of the US Geological Survey and Stephen Self at the University of Hawaii in 1982 provide
a relative measure of the explosiveness of volcanic eruptions. Volume of products, eruption
cloud height, and qualitative observations are used to determine the explosivity value.
The scale is open-ended with the largest volcanoes in history given magnitude 8. in the last
1.2 million yrs ther have been over 30 eruption of 7 or 8 magnitude all over earth - every
one of these is greater than the eruption f Krakatoa - magnitude 6 eruptions like Krakatoa
have occured over 70 times. Impact events
this is Lake Bosumtwi About 30 km south-east of Kumasi, Ghana, in the crystalline bedrock
of the West African Shield, lies the country’s only natural lake. The impact of a meteorite
some 1.3 million years ago, opened up hole in the ground with a 6 mile (10.5 km) diameter.
its effect on life in Africa must have been devastating - new craters are being discovered
regularly as imaging technology evolves - however due to earths surface being largely water
most impacts sites will never be know - There is evidence of a major impact in South East
Asia only 800,000 years ago (Paine 2001). Glass & Pizzuto (1994) estimated the diameter
of the impact crater to be between 32 and 114 kilometres. This impact must have had
severe regional consequences (Langbroek & Roebroeks 2000), and may have been a very close call
for the survival of mankind. Over the past million years, at least 5 impacts, sufficient
to cause moderate to severe global climate disruption, are predicted to have taken place.
We suggest that such impacts, occurring at crucial locations and times, punctuated human
evolution or influenced hominid speciation (Peiser 2001). For a million years homo erectus and other
hominid species endured multiple cataclysms - glaciations - pole shifts comet or meteor
impacts - these events far from being unusual or sporadic are regular and inevitable. there
circumstances represent a forcing effect on the evolution of all life and certainly played
a part in human development - including our acquisition of language - language there is no consensus on The origin of language
in the human species we assume early humans communicated in order to hunt pass on skills
and structure activities - The term protolanguage, as defined by linguist Derek Bickerton, is
a primitive form of communication lacking: a fully developed syntax - tense, aspect,
auxiliary verbs, etc. - This is, a stage in the evolution of language somewhere between
great ape language and modern human language. Bickerton (2009) places the first emergence
of such a porto-language with the earliest appearance of Homo, and associates its appearance
with the pressure of behavioural adaptation to the niche construction of scavenging faced
by Homo Habilis. Anatomically modern humans first appear in the fossil record 195,000
years ago in Ethiopia. The development of fully modern behaviour in H. sapiens, is dated
to some 70,000 to 50,000 years ago. if modern language relies upon features present only
in modern humans such ---- cavities and brain development - then it arrive between 70 000
200,000 yrs old. Boat building and navigation it was known for some time that Homo Erectus,
moved from Africa as far as the coast of mainland South-East Asia. Stone tools dated to around
800,000 years ago have been found on the island of Flores, midway between Java and Australia.
This suggests that this ancient human might have been able to cross short water gaps . New
evidence shows that early hominids, such as Homo Erectus, systematically used rafts, hundreds
of thousands of years ago. Experts suggest that stone hand axes found in the Mediterranean
Basin, and on the island of Crete, might have been used by these people to construct rafts
and other types of vessels, to visit southern Europe, and all other islands in between.
The main starting point of these incursions was North Africa, archaeologist Thomas Strasser
says,-Providence College in Rhode Island- Several hundred double-edged cutting tools
were unearthed there. All of them were dated to at least 130,000 years ago, some of them
may actually be a lot older than that. According to Strasser, the design of these axes closely
resembles the one found in other H. Erectus tools, dating back to at least 800,000 years
ago. previously the oldest known settlements in Crete were believed to be just 9,000 years
old. Te new evidence seems to point at the fact that the islands were occupied hundreds
of thousands of years before by people coming from Africa on boats in open seas. “We’re
just going to have to accept that, as soon as hominids left Africa, they were long-distance
seafarers and rapidly spread all over the place,” Strasser says. Migration to the Americas
Savannah River in Allendale County USA by University of South Carolina - archaeologist
Dr. Albert Goodyear - goodyear made Radiocarbon tests of plant remains where human artefacts
were unearthed they indicate that the sediments containing these artefacts are at least 50,000
years old, meaning that humans inhabited North American long before the last ice age. this
is an explosive revelation in American archaeology. "The dates could actually be older," Goodyear
says. "Fifty-thousand should be a minimum age " Evidence of modern man's migration out
of the African continent has been documented in Australia and Central Asia at 50,000 years
and in Europe at 40,000 years."Topper is the oldest radiocarbon dated site in North America,"
Goodyear says. "However, other early sites in Brazil and Chile, as well as a site in
Oklahoma also show that humans were in the Western Hemisphere perhaps 60,000.yrs ago"
this discovery alone rewrites a significant chapter in human history - coupled with evidence
of boat building and open sea navigation from crete - it paints a picture of humans who
were no strangers to the seas - a people who could fashion seaworthy craft, a people who
spread out rapidly al over earth - it is almost certain these people exactly like you and
i - anatomically , culturally and mentally =
from the arrival of homo sapiens 200 yrs ago humans began a series of major evolutionary
leaps forward ,advanced tool making , language, art culture and more appeared in this period
- now new evidence shows that our migration out of Africa was sooner swifter and more
widespread than has ever been believed - making humans a global phenomenon by 60 000 yrs ago
60,000 yrs ago humans just like us lived on every continent - they were just as intelligent
- just as skilled - they were the top predator on earth and they could cross the seas - ascend
the mountain tops and command fire- what did they do - how did they live - what happened
to them and how did they become us - find out in the final part of the new history of
humanity 1300 yrs ago something happened on earth - opinion
variess on what it was and evidence is inconclusive. Some say it was meteorite or comet hitting
earth - some say it was abrupt climate change- some say the earths poles flipped or their
was a magnetic excursion or a cosmic electrical event which simulated the effect of these
events - Whatever the cause we at least know what happened next -
large mammals all over earth went extinct
- in the mega fauna extinction - The poles melted and sea levels rose 2-3 hundred feet
- the climate warmed - forests become deserts - tundra became forest - vast ares of coastal
lands were inundated with floods - and the human population was devastated - This near
extinction event led to another genetic bottle neck and the human breeding population was
reduced to tens of thousands - Untill now official history held that - the birth of
civilisation - the discoveries of agriculture , pottery metallurgy , the establishment of
city states and the rise of the modern world - all took place after this cataclysm after
the flood but from what we now know - its clear that human civilisation was well under
way before flood - and that in this current epoch of history we are not advancing but
recovering - we are the post diluvial survivors of an apocalypse that halted or interrupted
our development - the evidence in this video is not speculation - its hard science founded
on material discoveries that have overturned and revolutionised our previous view - it
is the new history of humanity and it is now the accepted view of historians , archeologists,
geneticists and botanists that for at least the last 50 - 75 thousand yrs humanity flourished
all over earth - inhabited every continent and was possessed of the material and cultural
trappings of what we call civilisation - from this startling pop its time to look again
at our past - ART the worlds oldest example of abstract art
- dates back more than 70,000 years - it was found in a Cave in South Africa - scientists
say the discovery shows that modern ways of thinking developed far earlier than we think
- Dr Christopher Henshilwood from the State University of New York at Stony Brook says
- they may have been constructed with symbolic intent - the meaning of which is un known
- the engraving itself on this artefact is quite a complex geometric pattern - there
is a system to the pattern - we don't know what it means - they are symbols that I think
could been interpreted by those people as having meaning that would've been understood
by others - the engraved pieces are at least 70,000 years old - d the fined pushes back
by some 35,000 years the earliest time when biologically modern humans were known to have
developed Art - there is no doubt that the people in southern Africa - were behaviourally
behaviourally modern 70,000 years ago - BONE tools a large set of specialised bone tools - found
recently in the South African Cave is forcing archaeologists to rethink their ideas about
when modern human behaviour emerged.. - The issue has been a key question in debate about
human origins - this discovery shows conclusively that early Homo sapiens came out of Africa
all. Ready well developed in crafting tools of bone.. - Many archaeologists regarding
introduction of bone tools as a key indicator of modern behaviour - data analysis reveals
the tools are all more than 70,000 years old.. -Considerably earlier than humans were thought
to acquire bone technology - until now scientists had concluded that early human ancestors became
anatomically modern while still in Africa… but lagged behind in terms behavioural traits
until they migrated to Europe and elsewhere.. -The implications are that there was modern
human behaviour in Africa thirty-five thousand years before Europe.. - What has been suggested
up until now is that modern human behaviour was a late occurrence - that tho people were
anatomically modern in Africa 150,000 200,000 years ago they remained behaviourally non
modern until 40 or 50,000 years ago - when the suddenly changed and moved into Europe
and elsewhere… This is not the case and radically alters
the timeline of humans behaviour and development - war newly analysed remains - suggest a modern
human killed a neanderthals man in what is now Iraq - between 50,070 75000 years ago
- the finding is tantalising evidence for a theory that modern humans helped to kill
off the Neanderthals - the probable weapon of choice a spear - the evidence a lethal
wound on a Neanderthal skeleton - the victim a 40 - 50 yr old male - now called shanidar
3 - shanidar had signs of arthritis and a sharp deep slice in his left ninth rib - it's
thought the best explanation for this injury is a projectile weapon - and given to have
those and who didn't - it implies at least one act of interspecies aggression - perhaps
the most overlooked of human behaviours in reference to a evolution is aggression - humans
are predators - but when did humans begin perpetrating acts of aggression on each other
-- impossible to know exactly how major role aggression played in neanderthals disappearance.
Groups undoubtedly competed for resources and evidently humans sometimes attacked and
even eight Neanderthals… the death of Shanada three may thus have foreshadowed the feet
of the entire species. POTTERY The oldest known samples of pottery have been
unearthed the southern China - US archaeologists involved have determined that fragments from
a large bowl found in zan redoing cave jang see province - are 20,000 years old - the
discovery - published in the journal science - is the latest in recent years that have
pushed back the invention of pottery by 10,000 years… until recently the majority view
was that pottery bowls and drink receptacles were invented after the emergence of agriculture
- when people began to stay in one place for long periods…- -but in the last 10 years
researchers found instances of pottery predating agriculture one possible reason for the invention
of pottery is the 20,000 years ago it was cooler than it had been for 1 million years…cooking
etc .. It may be however that the invention of pottery bowls would have allowed humans
to extract more nutrition from their food by cooking it.. agriculture until recently researchers say the story of
the origin of agriculture was one of a relatively sudden appearance of motivation - in the near
East around 10,000 years ago - spreading quickly into Europe and dovetailing conveniently with
ideas about how quickly language and population Gene sprayed from any near east to Europe
- initially.. genetics appear to support this idea but now cracks are beginning to appear
in the evidence underpinning that model - a team led by Dr Robin allerby from the University
of Warwick have developed a new mathematical model that shows that agriculture actually
began much earlier than thought.. well before the younger dryer's big freeze. up until now
researchers believed in a rapid establishment of agriculture which came about as artificial
selection was able to dominate natural plant selection crucially as a consequence they
thought most crops came from a single location and single domestication event.. Recent archaeological
evidence has already begun to undermine this idea - pushing back the date of the first
appearance of agriculture - the best example of this being an archaeological site in Syria
- were more than 90,000 plant fragments from 23,000 years ago showed that wild cereals
were gathered over 10,000 years earlier than previously thought and before the last glacial
maximum 18,000 years ago great leap the last glacial cold period on Earth began
68,000 years ago - shortly after the toba eruption event - at that time the human population
suffered a bottleneck - - reducing breeding individuals to some 10,000 - from this moment
in time- humans recovered from the Tobit event and spread out of Africa to all the continents
of earth - — our tools became more and more sophisticated - we became artists and navigators
- we sail the seven seas - language developed - -we fought other human species for resources
- we began cultivating plants - we created settled areas and traded with other regions
- humans did all of this - many years earlier than previously thought - and more- - the
evidence for our earlier and faster development and exodus from Africa is not circumstantial
theoretical - it is based upon science - well-documented archaeology and genetics - humans underwent
a great leap forward that only now are we beginning to acknowledge or understand - there
are gaps in our knowledge and it might be tempting to fill them with speculation about
great civilisations and lost technologies but the facts themselves astounding - the
facts speak of humans who have studied the stars to navigate the seas - -utilised maths
in problem-solving- understood botany- humans who could craft any material available to
them into precision tools and weapons - marvellous works of art - oceangoing vessels - humans
made music - painted pictures -mourned their dead - valued life and celebrated fertility
- you would recognise them and they would recognise you - because we are identical - where is everybody outro Discovered in 2001 submerged under the waters
of the B of canby in India is a 9500 year old city - the city is approximately 120 feet
beneath the water - -near gujurat on the north-west coast of India - it is 5 miles long by 2 miles
wide it is huge by the standards of ancient cities - as such it may well be much older
than the date only represents the age of its last inhabitants sonar evidence of the rectilinear
outline of stone blocks used in its construction indicates that they are larger and older than
any other man-made stone blocks known to archaeology the Bay of candies underwater city has been
largely ignored by the west - perhaps because it would mean the overthrow of the mainstream
western view- - that fertile present area including the Tigris Euphrates valley - -is
the was the birthplace of civilisation - yet even the oldest cities in the fertile crescent
perhaps 8000 years old - well most are 5000 years or less - - the discovery in canbay
astounded scientists because it predates all other fines in the area by 5000 years - suggesting
a much longer history of the civil suggesting on much longer history of civilisation than
was first assumed - it is believed the area - submerged when the ice caps melted in the
last ice age - who built this city - and live there and how did they live - -are we to believe
that a group of humans would not yet developed agriculture or indented pottery - suddenly
created a vast city - with no prior development or settlements or evolution of social structures
- that its citizens were hunter gatherers - and that the millions who live there were
landlocked hunters - obviously -the people who built this sunken city were advanced architects
of stone buildings its inhabitants could only be supported by trade and agriculture - the
need for such a place could only come about from a long period of growing population-
and social border - it represents the clearest possible evidence of a civilisation predating
9005 years ago- built upon skills acquired thousands or tens of thousands of years before
the last glacial cold period on Earth began 68,000 years ago the great pyramid of Giza the great pyramid
has long fascinated archaeologists and historians - -the orthodox assessment of its age and
use are almost certainly incorrect - - for 4000 year the great pyramid was the tallest
building on earth - so were asked to believe that as if by magic humanity one day build
the greatest stone monument on the planet out of the blue with no provenance no development
no antecedents of organisational culture - we're asked to believe it grew out of the sand perfectly
aligned with the Cosmos a mathematical fraction of the planets mass - precisely constructed
from some of the hardest rocks on Earth- containing internal chambers and passageways impractical
for burial - —useless for ceremony - -containing no artefacts inscriptions or evidence of its
use as a tomb whatsoever at all - every pyramid built after the great pyramid is a pale imitation
— Other Egyptian pyramids by comparison are shoddy knockoffs build by pharaohs as
a status symbol - only the great pyramid stands out as being of ancient -and even to this
day unknown origin - there are more ancient sites like the great pyramid all over the
earth - in Japan Scotland England South America the Middle East and turkey - - the great pyramid
and the bay of camby site should convince the most ardent rationalist of the proof Of
ancient civilisation- — that humanity bore the fruit of civilisation before us is no
longer mythology - that we have risen up and then swept away repeatedly it's not conjecture
- — that we are the latest and not necessarily the greatest civilisation of humans is now
an established fact - our history has been revolutionised by new discoveries - and our
view of the past becomes clearer the longer and deeper we dig - -as we do one truth and
looms above all else in the new history of humanity - our lives are fragile civilisation
is a brief and delicate flower that blooms in forgiving periods of stability - free from
disaster and catastrophe - we should make the most of the presents - take care of our
planet and take steps to prepare for an uncertain future because as the past reveals in stark
unforgiving times nothing lasts forever
I don't have time to watch this until probably tomorrow. Would you be willing to write a short tldr? Like 2 paragraphs with the main questionable claims? If not that's cool, I'll just watch it when I have time.
I will have to check some sources but saying things happened earlier show "slower" evolution... this is not always a terrible idea since human evolution seemed to be a very fast evolution and very unique... but yeah sources are needed.
