I love your videos but have a hard time watching due to the audio vacillation. Every time you finish a sentence the background music explodes for half a second.

Its obvious a giant lived there and probably dominated by force that region and demanded meat and stone offerings and servants of all kinds.

A lot of shaman talk but might be there was no shaman at all but a place built to offer sacrifice or offering to a other worldly being.

Nope those stone works are copies of something the dirt people's saw but couldn't understand so they replicate d them in stone. Some techno civilization already existed and the dirt people's were able to observe it.

Fantastic video, this channel is a treasure.

A 500,000 year old jetty, tooled from wood was found in Zambia(?) in last few years. Civilisation is way older than 12,000 years.

That map at 28.50 is very bad

This is perfect for sleeping time background..

I am just into this wonderful explation... But @21:42 Where did the squash come from, and the corn? before the Columbian exchange?

I knew it, Immigrants were always the problem.

Your background music choices have always been great, but I think this time you nailed it beautifully! The music around the Stonehenge introduction was just perfect

Excellent and unbiased as portrayal of history should be. Thank you!

Holy Land is my balls.

Now rhe zionists wants to destroy everything European... its their dream

Gobeklitepe's original name is not Gobeklitepe. The original name is ‘’Gire Mirazan’’ and the meaning of this is in the Kurdish Language ‘’ hill of Hope’’. Also, Kurds who live around the Gire Mirazan (Gobeklitepe) have seen this place as a sacred place. Thank you for correctly expressing Kurdistan as Kurdistan 🎉🎉

So, this is evidence of a hunter/gatherer "civilization", before pottery, before domestications of plants and animals, but yet riddled with symbols or symbolic meanings before reading or writing was invented? Fascinating...

When you read the Biblical account, God tells dude he’s gonna die, his kids are gonna die and his kingdom would be burned to the ground. Never to rise again. That is Devine Power at Work. Jesus is King!

Of course it doesn't happen "all at once". The entire society doesn't just build giant farms. A few people begin to learn how to grow things and after many generations, you only need a few more to feed the many. Like all of your people who still hunt and meanwhile, some have begun learning how to build things. I don't believe anyone thought otherwise.

Correction when the ruled England and wales they never ever ruled us sorry but the picts seen to that they never ruled here in whats now Scotland

stop saying "first time" that's just stupid

Brilliant.

No, it didn't. Civilization started way before any Tepes; in Mesopotamia...

Have any human remains were found at Karahan and Gobekli Tepe?

I think it does them a disservice assuming every picture has meaning and symbolism, some of those pictures are probably just imagination and artwork combined

I wish I could discuss about Karahan Tepe or Gobekle Tepe with my religious community, but just mentioning the age of those sites would make me look infidel and possibly get shunned. What is the best way of talking about it without provoking that "science carbon dating is not reliable" and "human was created 6000 years ago; therefore nobody could have lived before it".

there is very very strong evidence that Polynesians were the first to the Americas that we know of. they dont get enough credit.

This area must have been covered by plant life and fields with water for irrigation and had sufficient rainfall. Today it looks like a long term very dry desert.

Can’t believe what those archaeologists found while working out in the arid Tek-tek Mountains. Goes to show that exercise always pays off

I’m curious abut the progression of architectural tech amongst the hunter gatherers. These buildings are quite sophisticated and seems likely that the builders of Karahan Tepe must have already been well versed in construction techniques. Also them building these sites and then destroying them can’t help but remind me of Burning Man lol

The well fed and opulent female figure and the emaciated and Spartan male figure make perfect sense to any man that ps been married for a long time.

Will think twice now…when hear reports of someone identifying…as a cat.🐯

We truly have no idea how many civilisations were built Advanced, destroyed only to have to start all over again and repeat.

At the end of everything, we're all the same. We need to remember that.

Anyone doodling penises in the modern time and getting told off as childish, don’t worry someone one day will find your drawings and think it was a ritualistic site to fertility and the surrounding support beams were the remains of penis sculptures.

You're hands down the best history (in this case pre-history) documentarian I've come across. Your presentations are top-notch, polished, and thorough.

Thank you Sir ❤

Long Live The King of Kings Cyrus the Great and the Persians ! Zoroastrianism is more than 4000 years old. Last 150,000- 200,000 left globally. Proud to be one. Hopefully our population increases and not diminish over the next century.

I got curious and looked this stuff up. The years of the bronze age collapse. From Greece down to Egypt. Now look up the timeline of Israel. 1250 bce is about the time of the collapse. That's the era of the judges in Israel

These dig sites confirm that advanced civilizations existed before even these Tepe sites. Humans evolve and devolve. Nothing's constant. And more importantly: Human artifacts turn to dust after 5000 yrs, 10,000 years. Even NYC will diusappear after just 1,000 yrs. So have no idea what was on Earth that long ago. It's all turned to dust. That's also why nothing's on the Moon. Micrometeorites have turned everything to dust. All gone. We have no idea what existed. None. None at all. Our memories are short.

4:27 That's a mastodon at the bottom.

Easily my favourite content creator across all platforms! Thanks again as ALWAYS Pete for another fantastic fascinating video! Your hard work towards history is so inspiring 😮

Congratulations! Once more an epic documentary! An intriguing subject! Could you do one about the Neo-Babylonian Empire? Thank you for sharing your work.

The area makes the harshest half-shrub communities of the Great Basin Desert of North America look like a lush paradise. Why is no one talking about how we have discovered The Garden Of Eden and have also discovered why humanity was expelled from it? The reason was resource overexploitation leading ecological collapse. Yes, scarcity of free game and grain spurred the development of domesticated agriculture. But those Neolithic Farmers who spread out from these once rich hills into other regions of the Fertile Crescent, and all the way to insular Western Europe, did not look back... ...at the wasteland they left behind. Now, we have got, not a fertile region, but the Whole Earth in our hands. And folks, the situation isn't looking good. "We have met the enemy, and they are us."

Hail ragnar lothbrok the greatest viking to ever live

Not when we know of the Aloo2 on the Sea of Galilee Site that predates all of this in the Levant by 10000 years

Anybody watching this video in 2028?

K seriously who is going to watch video where you fuck the spelling in your title 👎

Thx 4 another great video u have a really awesome channel

I feel like using the term “where civilization began” is misleading. We can probably point to a number of sites that are points where civilization popped up, but the phenomena happened multiple times across the globe at different intervals. Earliest know civilization is better.
