WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:02.550 we've been told over and over that 00:00:02.560 --> 00:00:04.990 Civilization started about 6,000 years 00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:08.509 ago before that humans were supposedly 00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:10.749 just wandering around hunting and 00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:13.509 Gathering living one day at a time but 00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:17.070 let's be real this story doesn't hold up 00:00:17.080 --> 00:00:18.630 there's growing evidence that this 00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:21.230 timeline barely scratches the surface of 00:00:21.240 --> 00:00:23.429 what really happened new discoveries are 00:00:23.439 --> 00:00:25.870 revealing Advanced societies that 00:00:25.880 --> 00:00:28.029 existed long before anyone picked up a 00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:29.790 pen to write history these ancient 00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:31.509 people people weren't just surviving 00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:33.430 they were thriving they had engineering 00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:37.069 knowhow a solid grasp of astronomy and 00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:39.310 The Knack for building monuments that 00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:41.430 align perfectly with the Stars some of 00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:43.549 these societies might have been part of 00:00:43.559 --> 00:00:46.510 a vast interconnected Network spanning 00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:49.029 continents sounds a lot cooler than 00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:51.510 nomadic foragers right and here's the 00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:54.389 thing mainstream Archaeology is stuck in 00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:57.510 the past literally they cling to the 00:00:57.520 --> 00:00:59.990 6,000 year timeline like it's carved in 00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.430 Stone pun intended rejecting anything 00:01:03.440 --> 00:01:04.869 that doesn't fit their neat little 00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:08.109 narrative why because rewriting history 00:01:08.119 --> 00:01:10.910 is messy and they'd rather not deal with 00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:13.910 it but let's face it how much of our 00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:16.670 real history is buried underneath dirt 00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:19.429 mudslides and centuries of natural 00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:21.910 cleanup the stuff we have found 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:25.710 monuments carvings tools teases us with 00:01:25.720 --> 00:01:28.310 glimpses of a world far more advanced 00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:30.990 than we ever imagined around 00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:34.030 14,500 years ago the earth went through 00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:37.310 what we'd politely call a bad time 00:01:37.320 --> 00:01:40.710 massive floods wildfires and climate 00:01:40.720 --> 00:01:43.030 shifts wrecked Havoc whether triggered 00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:46.469 by a cosmic event or tectonic shifts 00:01:46.479 --> 00:01:48.709 these disasters wiped out entire 00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:50.950 societies it didn't matter how clever or 00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:53.789 Innovative they were nature had other 00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.069 plans cities fell populations 00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:59.910 disappeared and survivors were left 00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:02.069 scrambling to rebuild from scratch but 00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:04.389 even in the face of Destruction these 00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:06.590 ancient civilizations left us 00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:09.190 breadcrumbs their monuments and carvings 00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:11.630 weren't just pretty decorations they 00:02:11.640 --> 00:02:14.990 might be warning signs messages meant to 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:18.030 shout across time hey pay 00:02:18.040 --> 00:02:20.470 attention they seem to hint at knowledge 00:02:20.480 --> 00:02:22.949 of cosmic or environmental threats that 00:02:22.959 --> 00:02:25.869 could frankly come knocking again and 00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:28.670 here's the kicker Humanity has hit 00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:31.070 extraordinary Heights before for only to 00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.190 crash and burn this cycle of Rise and 00:02:34.200 --> 00:02:37.509 Fall it's happened and it will happen 00:02:37.519 --> 00:02:40.309 again yet mainstream archaeology and 00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:42.550 institutions would rather sweep this 00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.589 uncomfortable reality under the rug why 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:47.470 because admitting it means admitting 00:02:47.480 --> 00:02:49.710 they've had it wrong and nobody likes 00:02:49.720 --> 00:02:52.589 doing that it means facing truths that 00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:54.470 challenge not just what we think about 00:02:54.480 --> 00:02:57.910 the past but how prepared or unprepared 00:02:57.920 --> 00:03:00.110 we are for the future 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:02.710 so here's the truth the evidence is 00:03:02.720 --> 00:03:05.589 there plain as day for anyone willing to 00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:09.470 look sure it's unsettling but ignoring 00:03:09.480 --> 00:03:12.509 it doesn't make it any less real these 00:03:12.519 --> 00:03:14.589 ancient warnings aren't just relics of a 00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:18.190 forgotten World they are calls to action 00:03:18.200 --> 00:03:20.630 whether we choose to listen or not well 00:03:20.640 --> 00:03:24.030 that's up to us but one thing's for sure 00:03:24.040 --> 00:03:26.630 if history teaches us anything it's that 00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:29.270 mother nature and the cosmos don't care 00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:32.470 about our plans and honestly there's not 00:03:32.480 --> 00:03:36.860 a darn thing that we can do about 00:03:36.870 --> 00:03:54.589 [Music] 00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:57.670 it for most of the 20th century 00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:00.229 archaeologists stuck to a tight little 00:04:00.239 --> 00:04:02.589 timeline civilization as we know it 00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:05.429 began around 4,000 BC you've probably 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:07.750 heard the mainstream story Stone Age 00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:10.589 hunter gatherers Brave the Ice Age 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:12.710 figured out farming and eventually 00:04:12.720 --> 00:04:15.990 settled down in Mesopotamia the Fertile 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:19.110 Crescent then about 6,000 years ago 00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:21.550 ancient Sumer burst onto the scene 00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:24.390 bringing us to first civilization before 00:04:24.400 --> 00:04:27.510 that humans were supposedly just Nomads 00:04:27.520 --> 00:04:30.110 with stone tools wandering around 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:31.629 hunting and Gathering just trying to 00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:34.790 make it to tomorrow but here's the thing 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:38.230 that timeline totally wrong over the 00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:40.390 years strange discoveries have been 00:04:40.400 --> 00:04:43.150 popping up structures and artifacts that 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:44.629 don't just poke holes in this neat 00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:47.870 little narrative they blow it to Pieces 00:04:47.880 --> 00:04:50.230 these weren't tiny Huts or basic tools 00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:52.590 we're talking massive sophisticated 00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.469 works of art in engineering things that 00:04:55.479 --> 00:04:57.990 according to the mainstream story humans 00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.189 weren't supposed to be capable of back 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.469 then so let's put this into perspective 00:05:03.479 --> 00:05:05.510 these structures are older than the 00:05:05.520 --> 00:05:08.150 Great Pyramid of Giza by thousands of 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.670 years they were built during a time when 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.510 humans were supposedly just trying to 00:05:13.520 --> 00:05:16.510 survive yet what's been uncovered shows 00:05:16.520 --> 00:05:19.590 a level of complexity in organization 00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:21.790 that Rivals some of history's most 00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:23.670 celebrated 00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:25.550 civilizations and these aren't just 00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:29.309 one-off finds these sites are massive 00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:32.350 they're deliberate they're intricate 00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:34.749 whoever built them wasn't just surviving 00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:37.350 they were thriving these weren't people 00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:39.270 reacting to the world around them they 00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:41.749 were shaping it now here's what it 00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:44.390 really gets wild these sites weren't 00:05:44.400 --> 00:05:47.469 built by City dwellers or Farmers they 00:05:47.479 --> 00:05:49.230 were built by people living in the Stone 00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:53.070 Age no cities no Farms no written 00:05:53.080 --> 00:05:55.830 language just pure human 00:05:55.840 --> 00:05:58.870 Ingenuity the tools the planning the 00:05:58.880 --> 00:06:01.350 effort it all points to something 00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:03.710 extraordinary in mainstream 00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:05.909 archaeology it's either struggling to 00:06:05.919 --> 00:06:09.150 explain it or flat out ignoring it and 00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:11.510 here's the kicker these discoveries 00:06:11.520 --> 00:06:13.749 aren't limited to one region they're 00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:16.150 popping up all over the world dense 00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:20.029 jungles deserts even underwater Advanced 00:06:20.039 --> 00:06:23.670 Societies in places nobody expected some 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:25.589 were buried under layers of Earth for 00:06:25.599 --> 00:06:28.589 thousands of years preserved by the same 00:06:28.599 --> 00:06:30.070 natural disasters that that wiped them 00:06:30.080 --> 00:06:32.830 out others were submerged swallowed up 00:06:32.840 --> 00:06:34.950 by Rising seas and shifting 00:06:34.960 --> 00:06:37.270 Landscapes but instead of rewriting the 00:06:37.280 --> 00:06:39.629 history books mainstream archaeology 00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:43.070 shrugs these off as coincidences or 00:06:43.080 --> 00:06:45.710 lucky finds Well 00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:48.670 really how many coincidences does it 00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:49.990 take before you start connecting the 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:52.670 dots we don't believe in coincidences 00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:55.749 Ralph that's right we sure don't these 00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:57.790 discoveries aren't just anomalies 00:06:57.800 --> 00:06:59.629 they're rewriting everything we thought 00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:02.430 knew about human history so here's what 00:07:02.440 --> 00:07:05.070 mainstream archaeology won't tell you 00:07:05.080 --> 00:07:07.629 the world 12,000 years ago wasn't some 00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:10.510 Barren Wasteland of scattered tribes it 00:07:10.520 --> 00:07:13.710 was alive it was Innovative and was 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:16.150 creating things that still leave us 00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:20.620 scratching our heads in awe 00:07:20.630 --> 00:07:22.790 [Music] 00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:25.510 today all right so let's talk about one 00:07:25.520 --> 00:07:27.029 discovery that completely flips the 00:07:27.039 --> 00:07:29.350 script on everything we thought we knew 00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:30.270 go 00:07:30.280 --> 00:07:32.990 becklee nestled in the Rolling Hills of 00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:35.830 Southeastern turkey this site defies 00:07:35.840 --> 00:07:37.710 logic based on what we've been taught 00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:40.790 about ancient humans it shouldn't exist 00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:43.309 but it does and it's one of the most 00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:46.270 game-changing archaeological finds ever 00:07:46.280 --> 00:07:48.790 uncovered The Story begins in 00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:52.589 1994 with an old Kurdish Shepherd Sak 00:07:52.599 --> 00:07:55.950 yis who noticed a strange oblong shaped 00:07:55.960 --> 00:07:59.029 Stone sticking out of the ground enter 00:07:59.039 --> 00:08:02.350 AR ologist Claus Schmidt who decided to 00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:05.029 investigate what he found rewrote 00:08:05.039 --> 00:08:08.110 history a sprawling complex of massive 00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:10.830 Stone pillars arranged in intricate 00:08:10.840 --> 00:08:11.990 circular 00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:15.670 formations goe which means pot belly 00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:19.830 Hill wasn't just old it was ancient how 00:08:19.840 --> 00:08:22.270 ancient the oldest parts of the site 00:08:22.280 --> 00:08:23.550 date back 00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:27.909 11,600 years that's 7,000 years before 00:08:27.919 --> 00:08:30.070 the Great Pyramid of Giza 00:08:30.080 --> 00:08:33.029 to put that in perspective when gocke 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:35.709 was built woolly mammoths were still 00:08:35.719 --> 00:08:37.630 stomping around in some parts of the 00:08:37.640 --> 00:08:41.070 world yet somehow Stone Age humans 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:42.870 managed to create Monumental Stone 00:08:42.880 --> 00:08:45.030 enclosures that required Advanced 00:08:45.040 --> 00:08:47.750 planning an understanding of engineering 00:08:47.760 --> 00:08:50.310 and coordinated effort on a massive 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:52.670 scale these weren't folks chasing 00:08:52.680 --> 00:08:55.550 mammoths with sticks they were building 00:08:55.560 --> 00:08:58.910 with precision and purpose this place is 00:08:58.920 --> 00:09:00.110 huge 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:01.949 archaeologists have uncovered four 00:09:01.959 --> 00:09:04.990 massive enclosures so far spanning over 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:08.190 100,000 square ft and guess what they're 00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:10.710 just scratching the surface Advanced 00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:13.110 Imaging has revealed 15 to 20 more 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:16.230 structures buried below along with over 00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:18.509 200 additional Stone pillars waiting to 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:21.710 be Unearthed and here's the kicker these 00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:23.870 structures weren't just thrown together 00:09:23.880 --> 00:09:26.110 they were aligned with Sirus the 00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.910 brightest star in the night sky and over 00:09:28.920 --> 00:09:31.790 time as Syria shifted new structures 00:09:31.800 --> 00:09:34.710 were built to match its movements think 00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:37.430 about what that means these people had a 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:40.430 deep understanding of the cosmos in 00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:41.949 understanding mainstream archaeology 00:09:41.959 --> 00:09:45.630 says Stone Age humans simply didn't have 00:09:45.640 --> 00:09:48.750 I mean Stone Age humans mastered this 00:09:48.760 --> 00:09:51.470 yet do you think you or I could somehow 00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:53.710 accomplish this without our technology 00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:54.470 and 00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:57.590 smartphones yeah I don't think so 00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:00.910 either then there are the carvings these 00:10:00.920 --> 00:10:04.430 t-shaped pillars some over 16 ft tall 00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:07.030 and weighing up to 20 tons are covered 00:10:07.040 --> 00:10:10.509 with intricate designs Lions vultures 00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:13.310 snakes scorpions you name it and there 00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.509 are stranger figures Too Human Animal 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:19.350 hybrids that hint at a belief system or 00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:21.550 mythology we've barely begun to 00:10:21.560 --> 00:10:23.949 understand sounds like the anunaki to 00:10:23.959 --> 00:10:26.949 me but these carvings weren't just for 00:10:26.959 --> 00:10:29.310 decoration one pillar famously called 00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:32.190 called the vulture Stone seems to tell a 00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:35.710 Story a tale of a civilization's rise 00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:38.069 its connection to the stars and a 00:10:38.079 --> 00:10:40.069 catastrophic event that marked its end 00:10:40.079 --> 00:10:43.310 wait so if the vulture Stone tells their 00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:45.509 story does that mean they knew something 00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:48.509 we don't well that's a great question it 00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:51.030 sure feels like it the carvings could be 00:10:51.040 --> 00:10:53.350 a warning a record of something these 00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:55.310 people lived through that they wanted us 00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:58.389 to remember and here's another twist 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:00.509 gockley tee wasn't a place where people 00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:05.110 lived no Farms no houses no hearths this 00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:08.069 was something else entirely a temple A 00:11:08.079 --> 00:11:11.430 Gathering Place a cultural Hub it 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.389 challenges everything we thought we knew 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:16.030 about early humans the mainstream 00:11:16.040 --> 00:11:18.190 narrative says advaned civilizations 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.870 didn't exist that far back in history 00:11:20.880 --> 00:11:23.710 but goe blows that narrative out of the 00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:27.670 water and here's a wild idea what if the 00:11:27.680 --> 00:11:29.870 Builders of gock Dee 00:11:29.880 --> 00:11:31.790 inherited their knowledge from an even 00:11:31.800 --> 00:11:33.870 older civilization 00:11:33.880 --> 00:11:36.710 anunaki maybe a culture that thrived 00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:39.230 before the last ice age and passed down 00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:41.230 their understanding of astronomy 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.670 engineering and the natural world 00:11:43.680 --> 00:11:44.790 definitely 00:11:44.800 --> 00:11:48.750 anunaki but wait it gets weirder gole 00:11:48.760 --> 00:11:51.230 Dee wasn't abandoned naturally it was 00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:54.310 deliberately buried the people who built 00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:56.190 it went to Great Lengths to cover their 00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:58.470 work preserving it for thousands of 00:11:58.480 --> 00:11:59.790 years 00:11:59.800 --> 00:12:02.190 now why would they do that were they 00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:04.829 protecting it from something or were 00:12:04.839 --> 00:12:07.670 they leaving behind a message a kind of 00:12:07.680 --> 00:12:09.949 Time Capsule meant to 00:12:09.959 --> 00:12:12.350 endure these questions leave mainstream 00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:15.470 archaeology scratching its head how did 00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:17.790 Stone AG humans figure out the 00:12:17.800 --> 00:12:20.710 organization and tools needed to pull 00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:21.509 this 00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:23.910 off where did they get that knowledge 00:12:23.920 --> 00:12:27.590 anunaki obviously and perhaps most 00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:30.030 importantly what drove them to build it 00:12:30.040 --> 00:12:31.230 in the first 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:34.550 place and for the ultimate kicker quec 00:12:34.560 --> 00:12:37.550 Lee isn't the only site of its kind in 00:12:37.560 --> 00:12:40.509 Turkey alone there's so much more 00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:41.850 waiting to be 00:12:41.860 --> 00:12:46.269 [Music] 00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:49.509 uncovered if kcle tee left archaeologist 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:52.430 scratching their heads Karan teepe came 00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:56.110 along and knocked them flat just 35 mil 00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:59.189 down the road from goeke this site is re 00:12:59.199 --> 00:13:00.629 writing what we thought we knew about 00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:01.910 ancient human 00:13:01.920 --> 00:13:05.389 societies excavations at kahane which 00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:08.030 kicked off in Earnest in 2019 have 00:13:08.040 --> 00:13:10.030 uncovered a site with some surprising 00:13:10.040 --> 00:13:12.990 differences from its famous neighbor 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:15.710 while goe looks like it was all about 00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:18.990 ceremonies and rituals karahan Dee tells 00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:22.310 a more grounded story daily life 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:24.550 archaeologists have found grindstones 00:13:24.560 --> 00:13:27.990 Flint tools and food storage vessels 00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:30.470 basically the everyday tools of a 00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:33.030 structured Society with specialized 00:13:33.040 --> 00:13:36.710 roles unlike golee which feels like a 00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:40.069 cosmic Temple kantee seems like a 00:13:40.079 --> 00:13:42.590 bustling Hub where people actually lived 00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:45.310 worked and maybe even argued over who 00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:46.670 left the grindstone 00:13:46.680 --> 00:13:49.870 out what makes this even cooler is how 00:13:49.880 --> 00:13:52.189 the two SES seem to fit together almost 00:13:52.199 --> 00:13:55.910 like puzzle pieces think of goeke as the 00:13:55.920 --> 00:13:59.949 spiritual and cultural HQ while k Ane 00:13:59.959 --> 00:14:02.829 handled the Practical everyday stuff 00:14:02.839 --> 00:14:04.910 together they paint a picture of a level 00:14:04.920 --> 00:14:07.509 of societal organization that stone AG 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:11.150 humans supposedly were incapable of Well 00:14:11.160 --> 00:14:14.110 turns out supposedly doesn't count for 00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:17.550 much wait so these weren't just random 00:14:17.560 --> 00:14:20.069 sites they were part of a 00:14:20.079 --> 00:14:23.710 system exactly karane isn't just doing 00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:26.110 its own thing it's part of something way 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:31.069 bigger oh so there's more oh you bet pal 00:14:31.079 --> 00:14:34.670 there's a lot more in 2021 the Turkish 00:14:34.680 --> 00:14:37.189 government dropped a bombshell they've 00:14:37.199 --> 00:14:40.310 identified 11 more sites in the area 00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:43.670 this whole network called tasler forms a 00:14:43.680 --> 00:14:46.509 100 mile ring with golee smack in the 00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:50.150 middle the implications mindblowing 00:14:50.160 --> 00:14:51.629 we're not talking about scattered 00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:54.509 nomadic groups here this was a fullon 00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:57.150 network of interconnected Settlements a 00:14:57.160 --> 00:14:59.509 society big enough in organ organized 00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:01.870 enough to support a large permanent 00:15:01.880 --> 00:15:05.949 population one standout site saber has 00:15:05.959 --> 00:15:08.030 communal buildings that could hold 00:15:08.040 --> 00:15:10.590 dozens of people intricately carved 00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:12.990 halls and even proper 00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:16.069 homes so much for the image of primitive 00:15:16.079 --> 00:15:19.350 Hunters huddling in caves this entire 00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:22.069 region once dismissed as a hangout for 00:15:22.079 --> 00:15:24.990 hunter gatherers is now shaping up to be 00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:27.749 an ancient metropolis a thriving 00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:30.550 cultural and social hot spot that 00:15:30.560 --> 00:15:33.670 emerged in the wake of the younger Drass 00:15:33.680 --> 00:15:36.550 a period of massive environmental 00:15:36.560 --> 00:15:40.870 upheaval karahan Dee gole Dee and the 00:15:40.880 --> 00:15:44.470 rest of tosler aren't just Dusty ruins 00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:47.350 they are solid proof of a sophisticated 00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:50.189 society that Rose to meet the challenges 00:15:50.199 --> 00:15:53.389 of a rapidly changing World they force 00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:55.309 us to rethink everything we thought we 00:15:55.319 --> 00:15:59.160 knew about the Stone Age 00:15:59.170 --> 00:16:02.710 [Music] 00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:05.949 now hold your socks for this one as if 00:16:05.959 --> 00:16:09.790 gocke and karane hadn't already turned 00:16:09.800 --> 00:16:11.949 the mainstream story of human history on 00:16:11.959 --> 00:16:15.870 its head bonu Tara comes along and 00:16:15.880 --> 00:16:19.389 absolutely smashes it to bits located 00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:21.949 about 185 miles from 00:16:21.959 --> 00:16:24.749 goeke this site is part of the larger 00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:28.069 tosler Network and let's be clear it 00:16:28.079 --> 00:16:29.790 doesn't just challenge the mainstream 00:16:29.800 --> 00:16:33.590 narrative it obliterates it bongu Tara 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:37.069 dates back a staggering 12 to 13,000 00:16:37.079 --> 00:16:39.509 years ago putting it in the same time 00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:42.829 frame as goek deing this isn't some 00:16:42.839 --> 00:16:45.350 random outlier or a quirky oneoff 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.030 Discovery it's another undeniable piece 00:16:48.040 --> 00:16:50.230 of evidence that the official timeline 00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:53.269 of civilization yes the one we've been 00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:56.949 spoonfed for decades is frankly outdated 00:16:56.959 --> 00:16:59.550 and in desperate need of a rewrite 00:16:59.560 --> 00:17:01.990 what archaeologists have uncovered here 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:04.829 is nothing short of mindblowing directly 00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:07.390 contradicting the tired claim that human 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:11.510 civilization began only 6,000 years ago 00:17:11.520 --> 00:17:14.470 the structures at bongara show a level 00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:16.630 of sophistication that rewrites what we 00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:19.990 thought Stone Age humans were capable of 00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:22.470 private buildings communal spaces 00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:24.870 storage facilities this wasn't some 00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:27.710 makeshift campsite these were permanent 00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:30.070 meticulously organized Iz spaces 00:17:30.080 --> 00:17:33.830 designed with Precision oh and let's not 00:17:33.840 --> 00:17:36.230 forget the evidence of a sewer system 00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:39.190 Yes you heard right a sewer system this 00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:41.750 wasn't just a basic ditch either it's an 00:17:41.760 --> 00:17:44.390 engineering Marvel for its time proving 00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:46.590 they understood infrastructure and 00:17:46.600 --> 00:17:48.830 public health far better than we'd 00:17:48.840 --> 00:17:50.830 expect from society this old and this 00:17:50.840 --> 00:17:52.549 wasn't just a lonely little settlement 00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:55.750 either it was a thriving Community one 00:17:55.760 --> 00:17:58.510 that used math astronomy and advanced 00:17:58.520 --> 00:18:00.510 planet to structure their lives the 00:18:00.520 --> 00:18:03.110 artifacts found here make that Crystal 00:18:03.120 --> 00:18:06.230 Clear tools ornamental objects and 00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:09.110 microliths have all been uncovered but 00:18:09.120 --> 00:18:11.990 the real Shor stopper thousands of 00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:14.470 intricately crafted beads that's right 00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:16.710 you heard that right these weren't just 00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:19.350 pretty decorations they're evidence of a 00:18:19.360 --> 00:18:21.830 division of labor Artisans dedicating 00:18:21.840 --> 00:18:24.070 their time to making culturally and 00:18:24.080 --> 00:18:26.390 possibly economically significant items 00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:29.669 wait sewer systems and bead Mak 12,000 00:18:29.679 --> 00:18:32.310 years ago that's not just Advanced it 00:18:32.320 --> 00:18:34.909 sounds like the blueprint for modern 00:18:34.919 --> 00:18:38.390 society exactly the evidence at bonu 00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:40.669 Tara doesn't just nudge us to rethink 00:18:40.679 --> 00:18:43.270 what early humans were up to it smashes 00:18:43.280 --> 00:18:45.830 the old ideas to Pieces these weren't 00:18:45.840 --> 00:18:48.789 nomadic Hunters eeking out a living they 00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:51.070 had a deep understanding of engineering 00:18:51.080 --> 00:18:54.230 astronomy and social structure and 00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:56.789 here's the kicker it doesn't stop there 00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:00.390 bongu Tara is part of the hler Network 00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:03.630 linked to Klee and 00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:06.029 karane together these sites reveal a 00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:08.549 civilization that wasn't just surviving 00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:10.270 they were thriving and building their 00:19:10.280 --> 00:19:11.990 lives around the profound understanding 00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:12.830 of the 00:19:12.840 --> 00:19:16.870 cosmos bongu Tara is proof irrefutable 00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:19.029 proof that advanced civilizations 00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:21.789 existed long before Mesopotamia or Egypt 00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:24.669 came onto the scene it shows us that 00:19:24.679 --> 00:19:27.110 Humanity's capacity for Innovation 00:19:27.120 --> 00:19:29.310 organization and culture culture 00:19:29.320 --> 00:19:31.789 stretches back far further than recorded 00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:34.350 history admits and yet mainstream 00:19:34.360 --> 00:19:36.549 archaeology clings to its outdated 00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:38.669 timeline like a kid refusing to let go 00:19:38.679 --> 00:19:41.390 of their favorite toy ignoring evidence 00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:44.070 that's staring them right in the face 00:19:44.080 --> 00:19:47.549 this isn't a wild Theory folks it's fact 00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:50.350 the structures tools and artifacts at 00:19:50.360 --> 00:19:53.310 bonu Tara demand we rethink everything 00:19:53.320 --> 00:19:55.789 we thought we knew about human 00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:58.310 history they forced us to reconsider not 00:19:58.320 --> 00:20:01.110 just we came from but how far back the 00:20:01.120 --> 00:20:04.820 story really 00:20:04.830 --> 00:20:07.230 [Music] 00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:09.870 goes mainstream archaeology has been 00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:12.149 wrong before and guess what it's wrong 00:20:12.159 --> 00:20:16.510 again sites like goeke karane and bonu 00:20:16.520 --> 00:20:18.870 Tara have already wrecked the outdated 00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:20.149 timeline of human 00:20:20.159 --> 00:20:22.669 civilization but here's the real kicker 00:20:22.679 --> 00:20:25.750 these aren't isolated finds all over the 00:20:25.760 --> 00:20:28.149 world evidence is emerging that advanced 00:20:28.159 --> 00:20:30.549 civilizations existed way earlier than 00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:33.750 we've been taught take dwara off the 00:20:33.760 --> 00:20:37.430 coast of India this mythical city Isn't 00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:40.510 So mythical anymore submerged for over 00:20:40.520 --> 00:20:43.149 9,000 years right around the younger 00:20:43.159 --> 00:20:46.310 dras period it has Stone foundations 00:20:46.320 --> 00:20:49.750 plan layouts roads docks and even an 00:20:49.760 --> 00:20:52.710 irrigation system sounds pretty Advanced 00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:56.430 doesn't it and recent sonar studies hint 00:20:56.440 --> 00:20:58.870 at more submerged cities lurking along 00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:00.909 India's Coastline just waiting for 00:21:00.919 --> 00:21:02.909 someone to dig them out of History's 00:21:02.919 --> 00:21:06.909 dust bit andara isn't alone off the 00:21:06.919 --> 00:21:09.350 coast of Cuba lies another submerged 00:21:09.360 --> 00:21:12.830 City that might date back to wait for it 00:21:12.840 --> 00:21:17.149 as far as 50,000 years structures like 00:21:17.159 --> 00:21:19.630 the bimy road in the Bahamas add even 00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:22.110 more mystery hinting at entire 00:21:22.120 --> 00:21:25.190 civilizations swallowed by Rising Seas 00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:28.190 where some think it could be Atlantis 00:21:28.200 --> 00:21:30.710 then there's the shagar idol from 00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:33.350 Siberia this wooden sculpture is more 00:21:33.360 --> 00:21:36.269 than 12,000 years old double the age of 00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:39.310 the Great Pyramid of Giza and it's no 00:21:39.320 --> 00:21:42.029 stick figure intricate geometric 00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:44.909 patterns and humanlike faces carved into 00:21:44.919 --> 00:21:47.630 it suggests a symbolic language or 00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:50.350 cosmological map the fact that it 00:21:50.360 --> 00:21:53.350 survived at all thanks to a Pete bog 00:21:53.360 --> 00:21:54.950 makes you wonder how many other 00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:58.630 Treasures we've lost to time oh and 00:21:58.640 --> 00:22:01.470 let's not forget gunang Padang in 00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:04.390 Indonesia what looks like a hill is 00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:07.510 actually a massive layered structure 00:22:07.520 --> 00:22:10.070 carbon dating pegs parts of it at over 00:22:10.080 --> 00:22:12.710 20,000 years old would make it the 00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:15.909 oldest megalithic site we know of 00:22:15.919 --> 00:22:18.310 building it would have taken engineering 00:22:18.320 --> 00:22:20.909 geometry and geology knowhow that 00:22:20.919 --> 00:22:23.870 supposedly didn't exist back then some 00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:25.590 even think it could be the remains of a 00:22:25.600 --> 00:22:28.510 pre-ice ag civilization passing down 00:22:28.520 --> 00:22:31.070 knowledge we're only now 00:22:31.080 --> 00:22:34.230 rediscovering meanwhile in the Americas 00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:37.310 the so-called Clovis first theory has 00:22:37.320 --> 00:22:40.070 been officially tossed in the trash for 00:22:40.080 --> 00:22:42.269 decades archaeologists insisted humans 00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:44.909 arrived in North America around 10,000 00:22:44.919 --> 00:22:46.950 years ago via the bearing land 00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:50.149 bridge but site like these blow that 00:22:50.159 --> 00:22:54.190 idea out of the water monver de Chile 00:22:54.200 --> 00:22:57.430 14,800 years old evidence of wooden 00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:00.830 structures toned tools and plant remains 00:23:00.840 --> 00:23:02.830 suggest early humans were here long 00:23:02.840 --> 00:23:05.750 before Clovis culture and may have taken 00:23:05.760 --> 00:23:08.590 a coastal migration route then we have 00:23:08.600 --> 00:23:09.990 buttermill Creek 00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:11.750 Texas 00:23:11.760 --> 00:23:15.909 15,500 years old over 15,000 artifacts 00:23:15.919 --> 00:23:19.029 have been found including stone tools 00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:21.789 they predate clov technology showing a 00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:23.789 continuous cultural 00:23:23.799 --> 00:23:25.950 Evolution then we have the blue fish 00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:30.269 caves in Canada 24 4,000 years old 00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:33.310 animal bones with cut marks prove humans 00:23:33.320 --> 00:23:35.830 were active during the glacial 00:23:35.840 --> 00:23:39.950 maximum Paige Ladson in Florida 00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:43.510 14,550 years old butchered madone 00:23:43.520 --> 00:23:46.029 remains and tools found underwater 00:23:46.039 --> 00:23:49.269 reveal humans lived here earlier than 00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:52.230 Clovis then we have the metal coft Rock 00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:53.870 shelter in 00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:58.430 Pennsylvania 16,000 years old tools fire 00:23:58.440 --> 00:24:01.510 fire pits and plant remains indicate 00:24:01.520 --> 00:24:04.669 humans were thriving far earlier than we 00:24:04.679 --> 00:24:07.190 thought instead of trudging across a 00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:10.630 Barren ice free Corridor early humans 00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:12.590 may have used boats to travel along the 00:24:12.600 --> 00:24:16.510 Pacific coast well makes sense right now 00:24:16.520 --> 00:24:19.549 closer to home the Great Pyramid of Giza 00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:21.269 keeps refusing to fit into the 00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:24.549 mainstream narrative we're told it was 00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:27.149 built as a tomb but no mummies have ever 00:24:27.159 --> 00:24:28.950 been found inside 00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:31.110 some researchers suggest it might have 00:24:31.120 --> 00:24:33.590 been an ancient power plant instead 00:24:33.600 --> 00:24:36.710 crazy well maybe but then again 00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:38.430 mainstream archaeology won't even 00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:42.669 entertain the idea and the Mayans well 00:24:42.679 --> 00:24:45.389 they've been busy rewriting history too 00:24:45.399 --> 00:24:48.110 recent discoveries in Guatemala's jungle 00:24:48.120 --> 00:24:50.029 revealed a sprawling civilization 00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:51.350 spanning over 00:24:51.360 --> 00:24:54.549 650 square miles interconnected by 00:24:54.559 --> 00:24:58.389 raised highways built 2,000 years before 00:24:58.399 --> 00:25:01.430 Roman roads these plaster paved paths 00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:03.990 were engineered for drainage and 00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:06.549 connectivity even underground the 00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:09.669 Mysteries keep piling up take daring 00:25:09.679 --> 00:25:12.909 kuyu in Turkey for example this 00:25:12.919 --> 00:25:15.470 underground city capable of Sheltering 00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:19.310 20,000 people was dismissed as a myth 00:25:19.320 --> 00:25:21.870 until someone expanded their basement 00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:24.549 and accidentally founded it has 00:25:24.559 --> 00:25:27.389 ventilation systems storage rooms and a 00:25:27.399 --> 00:25:28.630 whole lot of questions about about who 00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:32.230 built it and why and then there are the 00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:35.230 flood mths cultures around the world 00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:37.870 almost all the cultures around the world 00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:40.830 from Mesopotamia epic of gilgames to the 00:25:40.840 --> 00:25:43.830 Norse tale of Ragnarok to Aboriginal 00:25:43.840 --> 00:25:46.389 Australian Legends they all share 00:25:46.399 --> 00:25:49.549 stories of a great floods that wiped out 00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:51.669 civilizations these aren't just bedtime 00:25:51.679 --> 00:25:54.710 stories folks their fragmented memories 00:25:54.720 --> 00:25:57.909 real cataclysms that reshaped Humanity's 00:25:57.919 --> 00:25:59.149 trajectory 00:25:59.159 --> 00:26:01.630 so Ralph you're saying just because we 00:26:01.640 --> 00:26:03.830 haven't found the evidence doesn't mean 00:26:03.840 --> 00:26:04.990 it didn't 00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:08.190 happen exactly Wendell absence of 00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:11.549 evidence isn't evidence of absence the 00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:14.269 world is vast and the layers of time Run 00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:17.389 Deep mainstream archaeology often clings 00:26:17.399 --> 00:26:20.110 to its outdated timelines dismissing 00:26:20.120 --> 00:26:21.710 discoveries that could rewrite the story 00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:24.350 of humanity but the evidence is out 00:26:24.360 --> 00:26:27.029 there clear as day advanced 00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:28.950 civilizations existed long before we 00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:31.269 were taught to believe their 00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:33.990 achievements hidden under oceans buried 00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:36.789 beneath Earth and preserved in Legends 00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:39.750 demand we take a long hard look at what 00:26:39.760 --> 00:26:44.260 we think we know about human 00:26:44.270 --> 00:26:46.389 [Music] 00:26:46.399 --> 00:26:49.230 history so we've talked about how 00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:51.710 civilization started way earlier than 00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:54.510 mainstream archaeology likes to admit 00:26:54.520 --> 00:26:57.510 that's not speculation that's a fact 00:26:57.520 --> 00:26:58.789 we've also h highlighted the 00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:01.310 stubbornness of mainstream archaeology 00:27:01.320 --> 00:27:02.669 which seems more interested in 00:27:02.679 --> 00:27:04.789 preserving its old timelines than 00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:07.310 actually exploring the evidence but 00:27:07.320 --> 00:27:09.669 here's the real question if these 00:27:09.679 --> 00:27:12.389 ancient humans and civilizations built 00:27:12.399 --> 00:27:15.269 such mindblowing cities where did they 00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:18.110 pick up the skills to pull it off 00:27:18.120 --> 00:27:21.350 anunaki the answers might lie in one of 00:27:21.360 --> 00:27:23.990 the oldest theories out there one that 00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:27.269 talks about super Advanced civilizations 00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:30.070 like Atlantis or Mew thriving long 00:27:30.080 --> 00:27:31.990 before the younger dras turned the world 00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:34.750 upside down these weren't just scrappy 00:27:34.760 --> 00:27:37.190 little tribes figuring out how to grow 00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:40.549 crops they were Global powerhouses with 00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:42.630 jaw-dropping knowledge in math 00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:45.870 engineering astronomy and maybe even 00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:48.310 technology we still can't wrap our heads 00:27:48.320 --> 00:27:51.269 around here's where it gets wild 00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:53.509 According to some accounts this 00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:54.950 knowledge didn't just come out of 00:27:54.960 --> 00:27:58.870 nowhere it was handed down gifted if you 00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:01.470 will mythologies from around the world 00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:03.990 describe Godlike beings like the 00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:07.149 Anunnaki from Mesopotamian Legend coming 00:28:07.159 --> 00:28:09.549 to Earth and sharing their 00:28:09.559 --> 00:28:12.350 secrets these beings supposedly taught 00:28:12.360 --> 00:28:15.430 humans how to farm build navigate the 00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:18.630 stars and basically level up as a 00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:21.870 species but of course nothing lasts 00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:25.310 forever around 12,000 years ago during 00:28:25.320 --> 00:28:28.110 the younger dras a massive global shap 00:28:28.120 --> 00:28:30.549 Jacob brought this Golden Age crashing 00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:34.149 down temperatures tanked floods swept 00:28:34.159 --> 00:28:36.870 across continents in Rising Seas 00:28:36.880 --> 00:28:38.789 swallowed the cities 00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:42.710 entire Atlantis Mew and potentially 00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:45.149 other Advanced societies were wiped off 00:28:45.159 --> 00:28:48.430 the map leaving behind only Whispers and 00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:51.190 myths and legends wait if they were 00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:54.110 wiped out how did their knowledge 00:28:54.120 --> 00:28:56.990 survive ah well now we're getting to the 00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:00.190 good part the theory suggests that some 00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:02.830 survivors managed to escape and Scatter 00:29:02.840 --> 00:29:05.430 across the globe these people didn't 00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:07.350 just survive They Carried their 00:29:07.360 --> 00:29:09.430 knowledge with them and shared it with 00:29:09.440 --> 00:29:12.070 less Advanced groups they encountered 00:29:12.080 --> 00:29:13.870 think of it as the ultimate tutoring 00:29:13.880 --> 00:29:16.750 session except the stakes were 00:29:16.760 --> 00:29:19.310 civilization itself look at what 00:29:19.320 --> 00:29:22.710 happened next after these cataclysms 00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:25.350 civilizations around the world suddenly 00:29:25.360 --> 00:29:27.549 started making huge leaps in technology 00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:29.110 and culture 00:29:29.120 --> 00:29:32.269 goe pops up out of nowhere boasting 00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:34.350 insane engineering and astronomical 00:29:34.360 --> 00:29:36.830 alignments the Mayans build super 00:29:36.840 --> 00:29:38.389 highways Through the Jungle to connect 00:29:38.399 --> 00:29:41.269 their cities the Egyptians construct the 00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:42.909 Great Pyramid with mathematical 00:29:42.919 --> 00:29:46.190 Precision we still can't fully explain 00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:50.630 today so were these leaps forward really 00:29:50.640 --> 00:29:53.389 invention or were they hand medd downs 00:29:53.399 --> 00:29:56.430 from the survivors of Atlantis or be who 00:29:56.440 --> 00:29:58.110 passed their blueprints on to early 00:29:58.120 --> 00:29:59.789 societies trying to 00:29:59.799 --> 00:30:02.509 rebuild even ancient texts and myths 00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:05.470 seem to back this up flood stories from 00:30:05.480 --> 00:30:07.950 around the world like Noah's Arc and the 00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:10.830 Epic of gilgames found across wildly 00:30:10.840 --> 00:30:13.190 different cultures could be fragments of 00:30:13.200 --> 00:30:15.830 real memories Echoes of a world ending 00:30:15.840 --> 00:30:18.669 Deluge and the survivors who kept the 00:30:18.679 --> 00:30:22.070 flame alive but maybe these stories 00:30:22.080 --> 00:30:24.230 aren't just warnings about hubris or 00:30:24.240 --> 00:30:27.430 Divine punishment maybe their history 00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:29.789 passed down through generations about a 00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:32.549 world drowned in water and the people 00:30:32.559 --> 00:30:34.350 who carried its life 00:30:34.360 --> 00:30:37.190 forward here's where it gets even more 00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:39.430 fascinating Legends like those of the 00:30:39.440 --> 00:30:41.710 anunaki don't just tell us about 00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:43.950 destruction they talk about 00:30:43.960 --> 00:30:46.470 preservation according to these stories 00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:49.269 the anunaki weren't just harbingers of 00:30:49.279 --> 00:30:51.549 catastrophe they were also the keepers 00:30:51.559 --> 00:30:54.190 of knowledge ensuring Humanity didn't 00:30:54.200 --> 00:30:55.909 completely lose its understanding of 00:30:55.919 --> 00:30:59.590 engineering astronomy and societal 00:30:59.600 --> 00:31:02.549 organization this theory that pre flood 00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:04.470 civilizations were gifted knowledge by 00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:06.950 Advanced beings makes you think twice 00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:09.750 about what happened after the younger 00:31:09.760 --> 00:31:12.669 dras these weren't just survivors they 00:31:12.679 --> 00:31:15.310 were teachers their influence is 00:31:15.320 --> 00:31:17.110 everywhere if you know where to look 00:31:17.120 --> 00:31:19.830 from ancient structures to technological 00:31:19.840 --> 00:31:22.710 breakthroughs that seem to appear out of 00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:25.830 nowhere yet once again mainstream 00:31:25.840 --> 00:31:29.110 archaeology keeps looking the other way 00:31:29.120 --> 00:31:30.830 but the evidence of their legacy is 00:31:30.840 --> 00:31:33.710 hiding in plain sight written in stone 00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:36.269 mapped in the stars and woven into the 00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:39.470 myths of nearly every culture so here's 00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:42.430 the big question what really happened to 00:31:42.440 --> 00:31:43.389 these 00:31:43.399 --> 00:31:45.509 civilizations did their survivors 00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:48.750 reshape the world as we know it or is 00:31:48.760 --> 00:31:50.350 there still more of their story waiting 00:31:50.360 --> 00:31:53.590 to be 00:31:53.600 --> 00:31:55.870 [Music] 00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:58.909 uncovered so what to deal with this 00:31:58.919 --> 00:32:01.470 younger drest Cosmic catastrophe we keep 00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:04.470 bringing up well to get a better grip on 00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:08.430 it let's dive into Quebec Dee pillar 43 00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:11.070 also known as the vulture Stone this 00:32:11.080 --> 00:32:13.870 isn't just some ancient decoration it 00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:16.029 might be an actual record of a disaster 00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:19.909 so massive it reshaped human history one 00:32:19.919 --> 00:32:21.909 of the carvings on this pillar is a 00:32:21.919 --> 00:32:24.389 scorpion which researchers link to the 00:32:24.399 --> 00:32:28.149 constellation scorpus sure that's sounds 00:32:28.159 --> 00:32:31.110 all very sciency but it's basically like 00:32:31.120 --> 00:32:33.629 an ancient star map pointing to a period 00:32:33.639 --> 00:32:34.590 between 00:32:34.600 --> 00:32:39.149 10,900 and 10,800 BC a time where the 00:32:39.159 --> 00:32:40.950 world went through some seriously 00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:44.389 drastic changes but here's the kicker 00:32:44.399 --> 00:32:46.830 the Scorpion might not just be about the 00:32:46.840 --> 00:32:49.710 Stars across ancient cultures the 00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:52.629 Scorpion symbolized both destruction and 00:32:52.639 --> 00:32:55.310 protection Mesopotamian myths tell of 00:32:55.320 --> 00:32:57.230 Scorpion men guarding the gates of the 00:32:57.240 --> 00:33:00.669 Sun while in Egyptian lore the goddess 00:33:00.679 --> 00:33:05.230 ciret was all about healing and Venom so 00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:07.629 was this scorpion carving saying watch 00:33:07.639 --> 00:33:11.549 out Danger's coming or maybe don't worry 00:33:11.559 --> 00:33:14.830 we got this maybe it was both a 00:33:14.840 --> 00:33:17.389 Celestial warning with a side of 00:33:17.399 --> 00:33:19.549 resilience it's the kind of layered 00:33:19.559 --> 00:33:22.190 meaning that connects the cosmos with 00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:24.430 human stories and ways we're just 00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:25.870 starting to 00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:28.950 understand and it doesn't stop there 00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:31.389 pillar 43 also features a headless 00:33:31.399 --> 00:33:35.549 figure yikes that likely symbolizes 00:33:35.559 --> 00:33:38.350 death and upheaval and a serpent 00:33:38.360 --> 00:33:41.110 climbing upward possibly representing 00:33:41.120 --> 00:33:43.750 massive waves engulfing the 00:33:43.760 --> 00:33:46.629 land these visuals aren't just Ancient 00:33:46.639 --> 00:33:49.549 Art they line up with modern evidence of 00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:50.509 giant 00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:53.830 tsunamis ice scores from Greenland and 00:33:53.840 --> 00:33:56.549 Antarctica reveal spikes in Platinum 00:33:56.559 --> 00:34:00.509 concentration in and micrites Key signs 00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:03.310 of a cosmic impact dating back to around 00:34:03.320 --> 00:34:04.830 10,900 00:34:04.840 --> 00:34:07.750 BC now let's break that down a bit 00:34:07.760 --> 00:34:10.149 Platinum is super rare on Earth but 00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:12.990 common in asteroids and comets when a 00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:15.909 big space rock smashes into US it 00:34:15.919 --> 00:34:18.310 vaporizes spraying Platinum Rich 00:34:18.320 --> 00:34:21.750 material into the atmosphere that debris 00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:24.470 eventually settles leaving a nice little 00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:27.750 we got hit marker in soil ice and 00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:30.109 sediment layers 00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:32.629 microtektites well those are tiny glassy 00:34:32.639 --> 00:34:34.829 spheres formed when the heat and 00:34:34.839 --> 00:34:37.430 pressure from a cosmic impact liquefy 00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:40.230 Rock launching molten material into the 00:34:40.240 --> 00:34:44.109 air it cools solidifies and falls back 00:34:44.119 --> 00:34:46.349 to earth like Cosmic 00:34:46.359 --> 00:34:49.270 confetti together these Clues help 00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:51.710 scientists pinpoint when the earth got 00:34:51.720 --> 00:34:55.190 smacked and how badly but wait there's 00:34:55.200 --> 00:34:58.349 more sediment cores from the ocean floor 00:34:58.359 --> 00:35:01.190 back this up too layers from the younger 00:35:01.200 --> 00:35:03.870 dryest period show a massive influx of 00:35:03.880 --> 00:35:06.270 fresh water into the North Atlantic 00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:08.430 thanks to rapidly melting ice sheets 00:35:08.440 --> 00:35:10.750 which messed up the Atlantic meridional 00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:13.390 overturning circulation W that's that 00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:16.910 mouthful basically the Earth climate AC 00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:19.589 system add in evidence of underwater 00:35:19.599 --> 00:35:22.630 landslides and tsunamis and you've got a 00:35:22.640 --> 00:35:25.670 perfect storm of Destruction sound 00:35:25.680 --> 00:35:28.950 familiar it's all IR similar to the 00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:33.510 story pillar 43 seems to tell and gocke 00:35:33.520 --> 00:35:36.910 isn't done spilling its Secrets pillar 00:35:36.920 --> 00:35:40.390 56 shows animals fleeing and waves 00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:43.870 crashing while pillar 18 appears to line 00:35:43.880 --> 00:35:46.670 up with Aquarius suggesting celestial 00:35:46.680 --> 00:35:48.790 events tied to this 00:35:48.800 --> 00:35:51.270 chaos combined the carvings with the 00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:53.829 science and you get a chilling Narrative 00:35:53.839 --> 00:35:57.030 of cosmic destruction and human survival 00:35:57.040 --> 00:36:00.030 a story encoded in stone by people who 00:36:00.040 --> 00:36:02.870 clearly knew what they were doing now 00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:05.109 here's where it gets even crazier 00:36:05.119 --> 00:36:07.150 there's a theory that blames its 00:36:07.160 --> 00:36:09.630 destruction on a mega Comet that broke 00:36:09.640 --> 00:36:12.710 apart around 20,000 years ago creating a 00:36:12.720 --> 00:36:15.190 debris field that Earth still passes 00:36:15.200 --> 00:36:16.349 through 00:36:16.359 --> 00:36:20.270 today enter the Toren meteor stream our 00:36:20.280 --> 00:36:23.150 planet's annual trip through this Cosmic 00:36:23.160 --> 00:36:26.190 Minefield and histories got some Reeds 00:36:26.200 --> 00:36:30.309 too the tangus event in 1908 a massive 00:36:30.319 --> 00:36:32.670 explosion over Siberia caused by a 00:36:32.680 --> 00:36:35.550 fragment of the stream flattened 800 00:36:35.560 --> 00:36:38.910 square miles of forest no impact crater 00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:40.190 just sheer 00:36:40.200 --> 00:36:42.270 destruction if that doesn't give you 00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:45.349 Goosebumps I don't know what will 00:36:45.359 --> 00:36:47.589 ancient myths seem to Echo these Cosmic 00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:51.349 events in Greek mythology fiery chariots 00:36:51.359 --> 00:36:53.510 and Celestial battles could easily be 00:36:53.520 --> 00:36:56.109 inspired by meteor showers lighting up 00:36:56.119 --> 00:36:59.109 the skies Native American stories of 00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:01.950 fire from the heavens describe land 00:37:01.960 --> 00:37:03.630 scorching events that align with 00:37:03.640 --> 00:37:05.870 evidence of prehistoric 00:37:05.880 --> 00:37:08.510 impacts these Tales aren't just bedtime 00:37:08.520 --> 00:37:10.829 stories they're Humanity's way of 00:37:10.839 --> 00:37:12.069 remembering the 00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:14.630 unthinkable which brings us back to 00:37:14.640 --> 00:37:18.109 goeke the carvings on pillar 43 might 00:37:18.119 --> 00:37:20.550 not just document the past they could be 00:37:20.560 --> 00:37:23.510 a warning for the future the fiery 00:37:23.520 --> 00:37:26.589 imagery and star alignment scream pay 00:37:26.599 --> 00:37:29.069 attention because the cosmic dangers 00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:31.150 they depict are still very 00:37:31.160 --> 00:37:35.390 real every fall in present day today as 00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:37.470 Earth passes through the torrid meteor 00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:39.870 stream we're reminded of just how 00:37:39.880 --> 00:37:42.870 fragile civilization really is but 00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:45.430 here's the bigger picture these carvings 00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:47.430 show how ancient humans tried to make 00:37:47.440 --> 00:37:50.790 sense of a chaotic Universe they didn't 00:37:50.800 --> 00:37:52.870 just look at the stars for beauty they 00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:55.630 saw a cosmic clock ticking down to the 00:37:55.640 --> 00:37:57.550 next disaster 00:37:57.560 --> 00:37:59.510 by connecting celestial events with real 00:37:59.520 --> 00:38:02.109 world cataclysms they might have created 00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:05.150 one of the first cosmologies a way of 00:38:05.160 --> 00:38:07.150 understanding the heavens not just as a 00:38:07.160 --> 00:38:10.829 source of all but as a Potential Threat 00:38:10.839 --> 00:38:13.349 and here's the terrifying part while 00:38:13.359 --> 00:38:16.349 we've dodged the worst so far there's no 00:38:16.359 --> 00:38:19.430 telling when our luck might run out so 00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:21.230 the next time you're gazing at a meteor 00:38:21.240 --> 00:38:24.030 shower just remember you're not just 00:38:24.040 --> 00:38:26.190 watching a light show you're watching 00:38:26.200 --> 00:38:31.690 the universe remind us who's really in 00:38:31.700 --> 00:38:37.710 [Music] 00:38:37.720 --> 00:38:41.430 charge on a cold November 9th you might 00:38:41.440 --> 00:38:43.790 find yourself under a clear sky enjoy 00:38:43.800 --> 00:38:46.710 the TD meteor shower a stunning Cosmic 00:38:46.720 --> 00:38:49.109 show with streaks of light painting The 00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:52.190 Darkness most of us gaze up and all 00:38:52.200 --> 00:38:54.069 completely unaware that this beautiful 00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:57.470 spectacle comes with a hidden danger now 00:38:57.480 --> 00:39:00.630 imagine this out of nowhere a blinding 00:39:00.640 --> 00:39:03.550 light floods the sky turning night into 00:39:03.560 --> 00:39:06.950 day seconds later the Earth shakes 00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:09.470 violently tsunamis taller than 00:39:09.480 --> 00:39:12.390 skyscrapers Race Across the oceans and 00:39:12.400 --> 00:39:14.589 entire cities vanish under the 00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:17.109 waves sounds like the plot of a disaster 00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:20.710 movie right except it's not it's 00:39:20.720 --> 00:39:23.390 something Earth has been through before 00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:24.910 think of the planet as a giant 00:39:24.920 --> 00:39:28.230 rewritable Journal a palm set 00:39:28.240 --> 00:39:30.510 with each chapter overwritten by cycles 00:39:30.520 --> 00:39:31.950 of Destruction and 00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:34.510 renewal every layer of the Earth's crust 00:39:34.520 --> 00:39:37.230 holds Whispers of the past stories of 00:39:37.240 --> 00:39:39.550 civilizations that Rose to Greatness 00:39:39.560 --> 00:39:42.309 only to be erased by fire floods or 00:39:42.319 --> 00:39:43.430 Cosmic 00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:46.589 impacts fossilized ruins ancient myths 00:39:46.599 --> 00:39:49.150 and bizarre geological finds are the 00:39:49.160 --> 00:39:52.510 faint scribbles Left Behind if you think 00:39:52.520 --> 00:39:55.069 modern cities with all their steel and 00:39:55.079 --> 00:39:57.349 concrete would fare any better sport 00:39:57.359 --> 00:40:00.829 spoiler alert they wouldn't they'd 00:40:00.839 --> 00:40:03.270 vanished just as completely as the 00:40:03.280 --> 00:40:06.270 ancient ones did and speaking of ancient 00:40:06.280 --> 00:40:09.069 Whispers legends from around the world 00:40:09.079 --> 00:40:12.109 seem to remember these Cosmic resets the 00:40:12.119 --> 00:40:14.630 Norse tale of Ragnar Rock talks about 00:40:14.640 --> 00:40:17.710 blazing Heavens Stars falling in the

stories they 00:40:26.839 --> 00:40:28.870 could be ancient accounts of meteor 00:40:28.880 --> 00:40:31.990 events that shook their world Native 00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:34.470 American Tales of fire from the heavens 00:40:34.480 --> 00:40:37.589 describe land scorching phenomena that 00:40:37.599 --> 00:40:39.069 eerily align with evidence of 00:40:39.079 --> 00:40:40.430 prehistoric 00:40:40.440 --> 00:40:43.750 impacts these aren't just wild Tales 00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:45.870 they are fragmented memories of 00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:49.030 apocalyptic events etched into the human 00:40:49.040 --> 00:40:51.430 psyche now here's where things get 00:40:51.440 --> 00:40:53.710 interesting we've come a long way since 00:40:53.720 --> 00:40:55.910 ancient times and Humanity isn't 00:40:55.920 --> 00:40:58.870 completely Flying Blind anymore 00:40:58.880 --> 00:41:01.109 thanks to Modern advancements we have 00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:04.870 tools to spot Cosmic threats NASA's 00:41:04.880 --> 00:41:07.710 planetary defense coordination office 00:41:07.720 --> 00:41:10.630 yes it's a real thing keeps an eye out 00:41:10.640 --> 00:41:12.230 for troublemakers in the form of 00:41:12.240 --> 00:41:15.870 asteroids and comets we even have plans 00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:18.230 like kinetic impactors essentially 00:41:18.240 --> 00:41:20.910 playing Cosmic Billiards by smacking an 00:41:20.920 --> 00:41:24.390 asteroid off its Collision Course NASA's 00:41:24.400 --> 00:41:26.710 Dart Mission already proved it can be 00:41:26.720 --> 00:41:27.750 done 00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:30.910 so yeah we're not entirely powerless but 00:41:30.920 --> 00:41:33.550 let's not kid ourselves the cosmos 00:41:33.560 --> 00:41:36.510 doesn't play by our rules and the torid 00:41:36.520 --> 00:41:39.630 meteor stream is a beast it's a 00:41:39.640 --> 00:41:41.470 sprawling debris field stretching 00:41:41.480 --> 00:41:44.190 millions of miles packed with chunks of 00:41:44.200 --> 00:41:47.230 rock and Ice some big enough to wipe us 00:41:47.240 --> 00:41:48.550 out on one 00:41:48.560 --> 00:41:51.470 go finding every Potential Threat in 00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:53.430 there is like searching for a needle in 00:41:53.440 --> 00:41:56.950 a hay stack that's on fire and moving at 00:41:56.960 --> 00:41:59.109 6 67,000 00:41:59.119 --> 00:42:02.790 mph even with all our Tech a surprise 00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:06.309 impact could still happen too big too 00:42:06.319 --> 00:42:10.309 fast too soon and let's face it 00:42:10.319 --> 00:42:12.630 governments aren't exactly shouting this 00:42:12.640 --> 00:42:15.550 from the rooftops why because there's 00:42:15.560 --> 00:42:18.390 not a darn thing they can do about it so 00:42:18.400 --> 00:42:20.230 as you watch the taret meteor streak 00:42:20.240 --> 00:42:23.190 across the sky this fall remember 00:42:23.200 --> 00:42:25.390 they're not just pretty lights they're 00:42:25.400 --> 00:42:27.190 Nature's Way of reminding us that the 00:42:27.200 --> 00:42:29.309 Universe operates on Cycles much bigger 00:42:29.319 --> 00:42:33.309 than us destruction isn't a matter of if 00:42:33.319 --> 00:42:36.710 but when history shows that the Earth 00:42:36.720 --> 00:42:39.990 has reset itself countless times before 00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:42.109 burying civilizations under layers of 00:42:42.119 --> 00:42:43.510 sediment and 00:42:43.520 --> 00:42:46.910 silence those who survived did so 00:42:46.920 --> 00:42:48.710 through Ingenuity and 00:42:48.720 --> 00:42:51.349 adaptation maybe our job isn't just to 00:42:51.359 --> 00:42:53.750 fear the heavens but to learn from the 00:42:53.760 --> 00:42:57.190 traces of those who came before us 00:42:57.200 --> 00:43:00.230 because one day luck won't be on our 00:43:00.240 --> 00:43:03.470 side and when that day comes it won't be 00:43:03.480 --> 00:43:06.190 the end of the world just the end of 00:43:06.200 --> 00:43:10.630 ours but maybe just maybe fragment of 00:43:10.640 --> 00:43:13.430 what we built will endure waiting to 00:43:13.440 --> 00:43:18.990 whisper our story to whoever comes 00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:21.470 [Music] 00:43:21.480 -->
