*DW produces the most amazing documentaries ever. The sober show, without any special audio effects, excellent audio recording, mixing, narration and specially beautiful footage from professional protographers give these programs a robust educative production. The music is solid, sober, used with intelligence. I love these documentaries, which give me calmness, inspired thoughts about our past. It´s amazing to watch them. So different than for example, those american series like "Weird or what", with William Shatner, or "Ancient Alliens", which the voice is low, and the quantity of audio EFX turns them almost impossible to watch. Those producers look like wanting to put hundreds of images and sounds in only one second. Congratulations DW, for these excellent, sober, amazing series. They are eternal. This is the way to create documentaries*

So many of us give our ancestors such little credit, they were not stupid.

I would laugh if we discovered the pyramids are just the hats on massive statues buried under the desert floor.

LOVED IT. Y'all seriously make great documentaries. Thank you for your effort.

I think that Professor from Malta hit the nail on the head when he basically said "Why would you leave fertile and beautiful Sicily to sail to Gozo other than curiosity because you can see one from the other on a clear day." It was natural curiosity in my opinion as it's a strong inbuilt human characteristic.

Since they posted this, a non-hunter/gatherer permanent village was found nearby that matches the same time period. So, they've concluded that the 'temple' was built by a settled community.

When people question the motives of making a perilous journey I always just think "well, there wasn't a whole lot to do back then and people are a bit mad".

DW your documentaries are top quality. I enjoy watching them so much. Thank you very much for your hard work giving us these treasures of knowledge. Vielen Dank :)

This is exactly the documentary I was hoping for! This transition from wild living to the beginning of civilization is easily the most important event in human history

One can always count on DW, for High-Quality programming. Many Thanks!

Considering over 90% of human history was the stone age we really need more research and documentaries on this period.

I have been to both Gozo and Orkney and was struck by the similarity of some structures in both places. But the similarity between the “cup and ring” markings and dolmen structures in Korea to those in Britain and Ireland is even more staggering!

One of the main problems with archeology is the amount of conjecture presented as facts. They say temples then say they're not sure of the structures purpose.

It's strange but now that we have all these computers and such I think it somehow makes this seemingly simpler ancient stuff more intriguing. They probably had a fairly nice existence. No traffic jams & pollution, 9 to 5 or nightshirt. 24 hours always on everything. No endless bureaucracy. I wonder did they have archaeologists? A good show. Very nice scenery.

This is really amazing information. Thank you for the upload. 👌👌

Science and its daughter, knowledge, are the finest gifts one can hope for. Thank you.

@3:34 Revolutionalized ... my new favorite word.

I love the art at Gobekli Tepi! The ancients were far more intelligent and artistic than many think. GT is proof of that.

This was very well done. Structuring the evolution of the graveyard is something I've never seen before. Keep up the good work

Amazing documentary, Thanks for the education provided.

The meaning of stone age sure is changing

fabulous - so well done. and it's so nice to have cultures besides British ones covered. i had no idea there were so many huge stone neolithic sites - even in Asia !! interesting that it was pointed out that the melting glaciers left large stones lying around. that may explain a whole lot. . .

Took me a long time to discover stones of Carnac, going there as soon as, thanks DW

3:34 "This fact REVOLUTIONALIZED..."

Amazing documentary 👏👌

Amazing documentary! Thanks for sharing it with us :D

I think saying the early farmers were sedentary is inaccurate, I'd label it stationary. Farming, especially during the beginning of the agricultural revolution, was quite demanding. Sedentary people don't clear forests by hand, till the soil and domesticate animals let alone build or make everything they need.

Very interesting. Thank you so much for posting.

Excellent DW thanks

Excellent videos, Good job DW. And oh Ferdinand the Bull at 10:35 😊

I love these documentaries

This video "revolutionalized" my mindz

Fascinating. Thank you for this.

Beautiful images of Malta, her temple of Mnajdra and its twin, Hagar Qim: I was there a month ago and that landscape was breathtaking. I wish I could comprehend better what was going on there 5600 y.a.. I've visited all 7 the major temples there but these 2 are the most handsome, even better than Ggigantja ( but less than the hypogeum of Hal Safleni: that was the highlight of my visit for sure.). Thanks for the video in general, top quality material!

There appeared to be an image very akin to The Menorah on the upright stone at the desert Atlantic site at Gharama. What a wonderful informative video 🤝

Wonderful documentary, thanks so much!

This video is great, thanks

Very informative and waiting for next

The only thing I'd definitely drop from this documentary are the animations. It's not because of its quality, but a matter of depiction. Once, one of my students was drawing a person dressed pretty much like those in the documentary. I asked him why he was drawing the man with that specific type of clothes. He answered me: "Because they used to dress like that". Where does that information come from? When you watch movies or read certain books, you'll see this general idea of how "ancient peoples" would dress. You'll never see female breasts or the genitalia of any gender. Would those people be more worried about the parts of their bodies than protection, specially against cold? I believe those depictions are based not on this bulk of research scientists mention, but on the animators own cultural background. And that's complicated because it's a reference, specially for the younger ones.

The fingers appearing as if grasping the sides of the stone look allot like the fingers/hands grasping the stones/lower torso of the Moai on Easter Island. Long lanky hands that seem to be symbolic in some way. Interesting!!!!

This answers so many questions I have had! Wow! I love knowledge! I wish I could have been an archeologist. If only I could turn back time.

I loved going to the scottish stones.. amazing

Paleolithic through Neolithic is the most fascinating for me. Dolmens also widen my eyes in amazement and my imagination goes wild. Especially since they can be found around the world. I do have one question: What is that amazing background music?

I'm so happy we have dozens of experts watching this who can tell us over and over (ad finitum, ad nauseum) that this is fake news. Thank you so much, all of you, all of you, and you and you and you...

This documentary won't let me watch the adds in peace!

Hats off to them finding these sights, uncovering them and dating them, but they have almost no idea what was happening back then.

I needed something to watch while I’m battling the flu here in America 🇺🇸. Thank you.

Fascinating documentary!

You know what's better than watching the Secrets of the Stone Age? Watching the Secrets of the Stone Age while you're stoned. 😂

Interesting topic to discuss!!! Hope, DW will post some more related documentaries focusing to the isolated ancient hidden true histories.

Thank You DW Loved watching ...and very interesting . Lots of love 💚💙💜

Me and my friends visited Long Meg and Castlerigg in Cumbria in July last year. I loved both sites. it was a really cool experience

So much to learn down here and so little time.

Amazing video thank you I enjoy to watch it

Great documentary!

The Yamnaya findings shatters these mainstream hypothesis.

"As far as we can tell... stone age was pretty good!" 37:20

Fascinating!

I wish DW would unload more docs like this

StoneHenge was dated on some snail (dead of course) shells under one of the Stones, but if you are a gardiner and ever buried something and then dug it up a few years later, you will find plenty of Snails and other creatures have burrowed down and underneath the object, so not as clear as they make out. the earliest man made intervention at the Stone Henge site is at 9,000 years BP discovered so far. (sky buriel post holes) The Stonehenge site may have been in use before the last iceage 30,000 years ago.

i am learning about the stoneage

I love the Minecraft sound effects!!👌 soooooo dramatic!!

the 'transition' from one way another is naturally reversible... as one returns to earth, is the return home and the return to ourselves... we lie, sit and walk... and we come and go

More than 3 kilometers indeed; beautiful creations

Superb 2 part documentary by DW, one of our favourite news channels. We should go back beyond Iran, Anatolia, the Middle East or the Aegean to uncover the only people who till today are building Megaliths, Monoliths and Stone Circles - the Khasis. The Khasi - Jaintia even have a Monolith Garden in Nartiang. They still celebrate a Monolith Festival. They are the only tribe in the world who have ever claimed, or built or had the expertise to build Monoliths and Megaliths. “In Babylonian and Assyrian sources, one of the largest ancient Iranian tribes has been mentioned as Kas Su, Kassi and Kashi, which in ancient languages and also in the modern language of the people of Gilan means fair-eyed and fair-faced. The name of central city of Kashan (Kassan) is a relic of this ancient Aryan tribe. Many relics of the Kassi tribe have also been found in the Khorramabad region, including paintings in the cave of Dusheh that date back to 15,000 BC. In these paintings, people can be seen riding horses. This is a very valid evidence against the erroneous theories which say that the Aryans brought the horse form Central Asia to Iran around 4,000 BC. Like its ancient riders, the horse is indigenous to Iran since at least 17,000 years ago.” www.iranchamber.com/people/articles/aryan_people_origins.php THE LAW WITHIN by Bampfylde Fuller - 1999 “The existing type of the catatrophic style is Arabic. Its sentences characteristically run from the verb downwards.; the use of prepositions is universal and post-positions (or cast endings) are unknown. Of this class are the languages that are classed together as “Semiti” - Phoenician, Hebrew and Aramaic. Curiously enough, a catatrophic tongue of this type still survives in the hills of Assam. This is Khasi - a relic of widespread culture now long past. An island in a sea of Tibeto-Burman dialects.” The Kassites, Hittites, Sumerians, Phoenicians, Canaanites etc were Khasis. The same Khasi people but with different names. Just like Maram, Bhoi, Pnar, Lyngngam, War, Amwi - different names but the same Khasi people of today who live at the foothills of the Himalayas where they first arrived between 57000-120000 years ago. 'Khasi' came from the word "Kha Sngi" meaning "Born from the Sun", later shortened to 'Khasi'. Hence the legend, that the Khasis of Seven Clans came from Heaven / Outer Space. At one point, the Kassites ruled over Babylonia. "The Kassites (/ˈkæsaɪts/) were people of the ancient Near East, who controlled Babylonia after the fall of the Old Babylonian Empire c. 1531 BC and until c. 1155 BC (short chronology). The endonym of the Kassites was probably Galzu, although they have also been referred to by the names Kaššu, Kassi, Kasi or Kashi." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kassites archive.org/stream/TheHistoryOfEssex/The_History_of_Essex_djvu.txt “The first inhabitants of the county of Essex were the Cassii.. The History of Essex: From the Earliest Period to the Present Time ... By Elizabeth Ogborne - “ One of the oldest texts composed in Ireland is the Leabhar Gabhla, the Book of Invasions. It tells a semi-mythical history of the waves of people who settled in Ireland in earliest times. It says the first settlers to arrive in Ireland were a small dark people called the Fir Bolg, DNA never fully was subsumed by the lighter culture….Ireland's dark-skinned invaders. Many of the invaders into Ireland over the centuries were of darker skin. Dun Na Gall, “Fort of the Dark Foreigner” is the meaning of the name of Donegal for instance. Places that end in "Gall” usually connote settlements of dark-skinned foreigners who eventually intermarried. Ironically, one of those is Moneygall where Obama’s ancestors hailed from. The Fir Bolg The Book of Invasions Leabhar Gabhala is a semi-mythical history and one of the oldest Irish texts. It described the Fir Bolg, a small dark people, as one of the original invaders of Ireland. "At the time of the Roman Invasions of 55 BC and 43 AD a tribe of Celts lived in this part of the country. The tribe was known as the Cassii and it was led by their chieftain CASWALLEN. They lived in the kingdom of Cantiace - a kingdom perhaps covering what is now the size of Kent and a part north of the Thames. The Cassii tribe had a settlement in an area of land occupying what is now known as Joydens Wood, Rowhill and part of DARTFORD Heath. To all intents and purposes this was an 'ancient city' " The city of the Cassii was somewhat in the shape of an irregular triangle, and commenced at the southern point at Stanhill, in the Parish of DARTFORD, and extended directly north westward to Stankey" " The great road continued over hill and dale to the city of Cassii, which it entered at the south eastern extremity ( Stanhill ) : and by Caudens Wood ( Joydens Wood ? ) proceeded to North Cray, Prior to its' entrance it threw off two branches, one to the chief fortress, Tyrru and another to Stankey, the extreme northern point of the city " " maypolehistory.wikifoundry.com/page/Celts%2CRomans+and+more

It’s great to learn something about our transition

When I turned 13 ,I found a piece of wood and felt the urge to carve it and turn it into the shape of totem pole! In a small scale and then I felt satisfied with it and never again tried doing it again! I think we all have this drive to create the things that satiate our souls and it’s possible that the people of the ancient world also had the same instinctual urges to create the things that we are discovering.

So one day a gang of mates were out hunting and gathering to feed their families, when big Joe pipes up and says, "Fk it lads, let's use up more of our precious energy and drag a load of large boulders from a location a few hundred miles away into the middle of that field over there and align them up perfectly to those shiny little sparkly thingummyjigs in the sky"..His friends looked at him in amazement then proceeded to kick the shit out him, assuming rightly that junky Joe had been eating those little mushroomy plants again.....

This documentary rocks... But seriously, this is super interesting. Makes me think of how much stuff I take for granted.

24:32 Anyone figure out the angle of the sun on this ruin to determine it's year against the great year? (procession of the equinox) This looks definitely like defining a line-of-sight of something celestial.

Excellent thank you!

This is very interesting and I've seen Stonehenge and other megaliths in Scotland and Ireland. I would love to return to Europe to explore these mysteries again. Even here in the Arizona desert we live on a ancient Hohokham village, common here. I plan to volunteer with Southwest Archaeology to help with excavations.

If conventional academia were TRYING to make high antiquity uninteresting, they couldn't do a better job. Luckily, these megalithic structures are deeply intriguing, so independent researchers will continue to research our deep past.

Thanks for the add

Nice contribution...

How come whenever archaeologists discover an ancient ruin, its always deemed to be a temple?

I think the use of the word 'sedentary' is wrong in this documentary, agriculture still requires considerable ammounts of labour and hunting and gathering still took place along side growing of crops. People may not have been constantly on the move like before but they still had to work hard and physically exert themselves on a daily basis to survive.

solid gold

I was wondering if the many standing stones that are about were in fact the corner stones (as it were) to buildings, with the smaller stones being movable, robed out.

What a fantastic, amazing, beautiful, and educational documentary. I love it. I'm going to watch it again.

Great documentary, but... 23 advertisement interruptions in 41 minutes?!

This is devoid of science!

I see u have been putting a lot of effort into your documentaries. I like most of them, and trust me im verry picky😂. I think you should make even more great content. I realy like your documentaries. Good luck at making more. 👏

Not a word about astronomy or astrology. Timekeeping, etc. Everything wasnt a temple.

love you all. this is the way to live. restore our grate ancestors visions and work

Man, if this was available to me back in my school days, and I could have smoked weed, my life would have been taken in a whole different direction.

Those Ol' "Hunter&Gathers were so prolific; that they all had time to learn how to become world class stone masons and logistical engineers and cosmologists, constructed this "treasure" in the middle of a barren land, and then just buried it up again.

Magnifique! Je vous remercier pour partager.

fantastic

It is a strong force in the human to seek knowledge always searching for answers.

Im here for my Art 101 class. These structures are amazing.

A bridge could explain the wood it use to cover the stones as a bridge

lol! hunter gatherer groups got together and decided to build a megalithic religious temple!

Gobleki Tepe! Everyone (including alternative researchers): "We know exactly what was going on!" Me: If we accept the facts - and only the facts - we don't have a freakin' clue what was going on at Gobleki Tepe. Some bones, a bit of pottery and primitive sculptures, mebbe some wild grain and crudely worked stones that are stacked in a funny pattern, which indicates human use and/or occupation. That's it. That's all any one of us - including the experts - know for certain. The rest is speculation, piled on opinion, and that's all mixed with personal ideologies and religions.

Excellent, I subscribed after a few minutes. It’s a little distracting hearing the speaker of another language under the English voice-over, though, when we can’t see them talking. Maybe the voice-over could be just a bit louder than it is, thanks so much.

Absolutely fascinating. This video content really is of vital importance. Thank you ever so much. Excellent.

You can spray a protective sealer on them!

love the show and thank you, if you stop the show bang on 20:38 you can see 4 holes, 1 facing you and to the left 1 hole and 2 holes opposite facing towards the other hole but just slightly higher and it could be poled up so it forms a curtain to block off some of the area off?
