Depends on what we mean when we say ''aliens''. I would rather refer to them as human ''neighbours'' from another continent (beyond forbidden 60th parallel) than creatures from the skies. There's something off with our timeline and all the architecture left behind after the 1890 reset. There is NO WAY the 19th century cart and horse people could have built hundreds of thousands of those colossal capitols and ''Victorian'' buildings and cathedrals at the stage of technological development they were in. Strangely enough, every major city on mother earth has been burnt to the ground in absurd ''great Fires'' and reconstructed within a few years. Totally impossible even nowadays. Any serious study of the official narrative screams utter BS.

He debunked it by calling it racist. Dont call yourself a history buff if thats enough for you. Im not saying it was aliens, but there is obviously lost technology. We werent cutting tons of granite with mm precision by grinding rocks

And yeah, he perpetuates dumb theories like a black cheddar man

​@RenoLaringo if all your houses are simple and made of timber and pitch with no planning or regulations on what you make, I imagine it would both be a lot easier to burn everything down and to build it back up than nowadays. Id wager that might be a bit more likely than aliens from Antarctica doing it (for what reason?!). Literally some common sense and a quick Google search debunks your arguments lol

@@RenoLaringothis is either really funny satire or you are genuinely incapable of processing anything outside of what you interact with day to day in a small sheltered existence

Yes, that makes a lot of sense for several reasons. Painting has always been a process of adding a multitude of layers. Why would they approach statues differently? Furthermore, in ye olden days nobody really understood how light and shadow works. So they might have added shadows to their statues (at least the ambient occlusion). Also, they would have been more than capable of depicting patterns, fabric, and other texture. Why would they omit that? And finally: carving such a statue is an immensely time consuming undertaking. Why would anyone, after such a lengthy process, just slap a bunch of colors on the thing and call it a day? I wouldn't be surprised if they took the same amount of time---if not more---painting a statue than carving it. These things were probably incredibly life-like. Given that, I'd assume there has been way more than just one female statue acquiring "the Stain".

I just try to feel grateful we have anything at all, our understanding of history is far better than it was a couple centuries ago at least. still very depressing tho yea

True dat. The worst part about the loss to me is that a lot of it was destroyed on purpose. It makes me cringe so hard anytime I hear about artifacts, art, books, etc getting intentionally destroyed by some bitchy enemy or invading force.

@@Tetragonoloba destruction is a human artifact, in a sense

It gets even worse when you consider all of prehistory and how little is actually represented by the fossil record

Really makes one wonder how future historians and archeologists will view out era. We've now given a recording device to almost every single human on the planet. Either future historians will either be completed inundated with info about the modern era, so much so that sifting through the bias would be a herculean task, or they'll have only vague summaries because digital recording isn't nearly as reliable as it seems.

Exactly. Time really is just a number. 10 years when you're 10 years old feels like a lifetime, that because it literally is in this relative analogy. 10 years after you're 20 feels like nothing. Just because it seems like forever ago doesn't mean it really was.

I feel this comes in some part because "they believed in weird myths!" but the thing is, if you're born in a time before widespread communication or scientific method, literally what could you believe in? Imagine trying to learn the world without Google, you wouldn't know jack. People don't think that much about history, but it's a genuine wonder we've been able to progress this far and get so connected.

It's not that they lack intelligence, it's that they have less information available to them. How does someone figure out how to lift like 10 ton slabs of rock and place it on top of stonehenge? I can't figure it out, and if you gave me 100 years I'd still never figure it out. I couldn't even make it on my own if you told me exactly how. The only reason why people don't have the same problem accepting marvels of engineering invented over a 100 years ago, like the light bulb or telephone, is because it was recent enough that we have very detailed historical records on how it was done.

@@AshleyWilliamsN7 true

Similar to the walking Moai, the Welsh found clever ways to transport and construct Stonehenge.

The next layer of THAT iceberg is that many animals are way more intelligent than we give them credit for. Corvids are smarter than we used to think cavemen were. Chimps engage in commerce and fashion of an extremely limited sort, and we knew for a while already that they can learn sign language. It's arguable that elephants follow an animistic pre-religion. Many animals are past the line many of us draw for personhood, so are they people? Or will we move the goalposts to, say, "must be hominid" or "must exhibit ubiquitous tool use?" Because basically all apes meet those. Tool manufacture?

So there is a funny story behind the viking graffiti on the Hagia Sophia. Apparently the people who studied the Sophia didn't know it was Runes until, now don't quote me on this I could be wrong, the advent of the internet. The story I remember is that they thought it was some sort of forgotten form of mesopotamian or mediterainian language until a chance meeting with a archeologist of scandinavia mentioned it was runes offhandedly. It turned out there were a couple of such bits of graffiti on the temple.

@@PenumbranWolf I find that hard to believe that people working on studying the Hagia Sophia in the time of the early internet didn't know about the Varangian guard. The Byzantine emperors employed Scandinavians that had gone a-Viking, travelling south mostly via rivers, and ended up in Greece being paid handsomely as a personal elite imperial guard for quite a while. I could be wrong. This knowledge might have been lost to the people living and working in Istanbul at some point, but them not knowing this by the early to mid-nineties and calling it some lost Mesopotamian script seems to me more like something an overly enthusiastic but ill-informed tour guide would tell tourists.

In Japanese, sweet potato is called Imo Jaga. Does that mean they also contribute the name of Sweet Potato?

So, Telā rules Pacific Ocean.

@@wikansaktianto9215 many things go by the name "sweet potato," many of them not even closely related to each other. And many of them are now found in Polynesia; The first is the one originating from South America (With orange skin and white flesh)and is where the name Kumara/ʻUala originates and is the first sweet potato to arrive in Polynesia. Ironically, I'd say this variant has been usurped by other sweet potatoes in popularity where I live. The purple yam (Ube) (with purple skin and flesh) is very popular in Japan, Korea, and Hawaiʻi; it's known that these types of sweet potatoes were one of the many other canoe plants brought to Polynesia, though I haven't been able to find anything that confirms whether nor if their native Polynesian name is telā (At least not in Hawaiian). The Okinawan Purple Sweet Potato (Beni Imo) (With white skin and purple flesh) originates from well... Okinawa and is arguably the most popular variant in Hawaiʻi (and my personal favorite to work with great for making sweet potato pudding.) and are also called 'Uala. The Murasaki Sweet Potato (Satsumaimo) (With purple skin and yellow flesh) also originates from Japan and is very popular. The Sweet Yam (Sometimes also called a sweet potato) is another variant brought to Polynesia pre-European contact and is called Uhi in Hawaiian and Ufi in Sāmoan. There's probably more, but those are the only ones I remember (and can back confidently with information.) Some such as the Okinawan and Murasaki sweet potato were introduced post-European contact and are thus just have had the label of "ʻUala" attached to them, at least in Hawaiʻi.

there's written accounts of greek authors describing paintings and painters of their time, suggesting it was as lifelike as their sculptures (the coffin paintings shown in the video would likely come from the greek tradition, since they date to roman egypt, where there'd been a lot of cultural hellenization). There's practically no surviving examples of canvas paintings from that era, though, since in most conditions (other than being buried in desert sand) neither tempera paint nor canvas are particularly long-lived materials in the scale of time we're working with.

there are some frescoes that survive to the present day which exhibit amazing technique. i know there are early classical italic paintings in campania and a decent number of hellenistic paintings throughout the old greek world, but the best are from the early 1st c. bc in pompeii and herculaneum.

It was preserved very well because they're from Egypt. I think it was painted on Papyrus. If you look at ancient roman mosaics, some of those are also well done, so the idea of them painting a human face early reconnaissance level isn't unthinkable due to art skills. Certainly is awesome.

That's intentional I think. The way academics talk about him seems curated to produce hate. He's undeniably portrayed a specific way. He absolutely made huge mistakes out of ignorance in how to properly handle artifacts, something thats actually not uncommon in earlier archeology. I think what the crux of the issue really ends up being is that he humiliated the established academics of his time by actually discovering something they emphatically denied existed. There's a rather long history (no pun intended) of those in academia downplaying, stealing or demonizing the work of those outside of it. To have an amateur so publicly prove them wrong would be unacceptable. There's nothing so petty as a butthurt academic. A more balanced discussion of his work would acknowledge that his discovery was almost certainly the impetus for a number of other digs involving sites that the academic establishment had deemed nonexistent. People may hate him but his discovery of Troy was ultimately a shift in perspective that the field of archeology desperately needed. His influence was enormous.

Maybe a person like Schliemann was needed to find ancient Troy.

im so mixed on him. one if he didn't do what he did, i wouldn't have a job (i study troy) but also, so much of my work is lost. but also, baller for him to go against the common notion that troy was fake

To top it off, gluing on a layer of fabric was pretty common. As is true for much of Medieval fabrics, these were usually very colorful and bright instead of undyed or dark.

Tbh most medieval armour was just metallic metal, andmost of the colour was from tabards, shields and banners etc. There is examples of painted armour but they're the exception not the rule.

I realized that I didn't know nearly enough. What a great video.
