Is this the first video of its kind, Showing all of these little known sites? This is somewhat of a profundity. Monty Dons’ ‘Around the World in 80 Gardens’ seems like a great basis for an “Around the World in 80,000 Megalithic Sites” ! I may live long enough to watch the Full Series ! 😃

You two are engaging and informative. What more could I ask ?

Finally we get it! Pre history is prehistoric. It's beyond the idiots level of documented knowledge. Of course it is! I'm smarter than that.

Thank you for this secret trove of sites. I will definitely researching some of these further.

my favorite site, I live at the bottom of, the damage done by farmers to the megalith and other smaller standing stones is unforgivable to me. My gut just screams that this site is super important, it is the most ideal location for viewing the coast and neighboring valleys. I would love to get a thermal camera, I'm certain there is more up there than meats the eye. Drummau mountain in South Wales is special for all kinds of reasons, we get ball lightning, we have hydrothermal fault lines, pendant sand stone, the south Wales coal field and the theory of evolution was cooked up by Alfred Wallace who seemed to love this mountain, almost as much as I do......The minerals I find are interesting too....also this year people are starting to talk about that enormous black cat that was sniffing me last year, almost as big as a lion at the zoo. I always believed in those wild black cats, but I was expecting them to be smaller than most dogs and only in unpopulated areas. I could hear loud breathing, so I got up and started looking for a lost cow, but when I walked 30 yards away from my bag, I hear a loud thud and see that huge thing running downhill, leaves and tree debris falling onto my bag from the branches above. I'm hoping to see it again one day.

Really enjoyed that thank you guys so much I didnt know 🤟

Wonderful. Thank you for this. I learnt so much and thoroughly enjoyed.

I love you two. Keep on keeping on guys. You are great!

Not sure why we are watching these two guys talking?? Id like to see more of these structures. Thanks

Thank you both ! Some really intriguing sites ! Would there be another, perhaps 11-20? All the best Jules 👏

Ive been saying this on a few channels, Spain is where to go to find something new its so big and so scarcely populated, I bet people would have known about ruins but these people have long gone a lot of people moved to cities so the knowledge is lost. I was looking at properties on think spain and I saw a cliff overhang that looked like parts of the cliff had collapsed and was all piled up against the overhang. And I saw on another photo there was a set of rocks sticking out and from the front it just looked normal but on a side it looked like a human head, when looking at the geology of the place it looks very ancient with geology that looks like Africa and India, id love to go spend time out there looking for stuff...

There must've been tweaking just in the whole learning process, but I often wonder if there were earlier prototypes of wooden markers which are a bit easier to shift about

The show seams great, but I cannot get past the high pitched ding sounds from the background music

I often wonder what could have driven them to expend so much energy building circles and then begin to think of civil engineering and the costs/benefits of building circles. And CERN comes to mind.

I really love you guys but what's with that horrible high pitched sound in the background?

good video, but there is a problem in the Almendres cromlech, the dates are wrong it's not 6000 years ago it's 6000 BC, more or less 7500 years and they end in 3000 BC when the calgolitic begins but this is contested with the date 4 millennium bc but nearby there is the Portela de Mogos Cromlech this is dated in the 5 millennium bc and is confirmed, what is known and confirmed is that the neolithic period begins in iberia in 7000 bc so the date of 6000 bc is not very elusive, Something interesting it must be said that according to DNA research, the dates 5500 BC for the arrival of the farmers of Anatolia in the territory of the Iberian peninsula, who came from the Italian peninsula, but the archaeological record indicates that agriculture arrived first through north africa 1500 years before . Any idea what happened to cause this discrepancy?

Hey Guys, thanks again! Being new to this everything makes my brain go in different directions, more especially when y'all get excited or intrigued about something. When Mr. Rupert was pointing out that one of the structures was 18.6 instead of 19 like the others, /3, 18.6 works out to be 6.2..... a 10 K. maybe it also a distance marker for something? i.e. if im "here" there is something 'known' 10 k away?

@abisu5273

11 ай бұрын

He's talking about the positioning of the stones. To mark out sectors of the circle, you can only use a finite number of stones. So 19 is the closest approximation to 18.6 and for an even broader brush, 9 is the closest to 1/2 of 18.6. Does anyone know of a stone circle that has 12 stones (for one solar year) There are other sites at Calanis besides Cal 1. Maybe one of those?

Would you be able to provide a link to the little animation film showing how the stones were erected at Dolmen de Menga? Impossible to find online.

Cold hardy rice could arise many times but it wouldn't be noticed until there was a cold-snap and that was the only thing that went to seed because the rest of the crop failed. It probably took the few hundred years to get it spread around. Not really an incremental thing to be cold hardy. You just have a surviving population that takes-over. And we don't really select for cold hardiness beside minimum germination temps. What would be selected is reduced days to harvest. Perhaps it was just short season to start and later acclimated itself to cold in the hundreds of years. Acclimation is important, it causes genetic changes over time, epigenetic stress stuff. Ten generations might be enough. Either way we will never know but there are a variety of avenues to take on it.

Stonehenge? Stones moved more than ten miles?

1:16:30 when you say "roughly" lines up with astronomical events, did you account for the Earth precession? As with other sites around the world Sirius, Orion, and the constellations as well as the sun & moon were important, but the locations have "drifted" over time and will return after a period of 25,920 years.

With regard to Dolmen de Menga, why do we assume it was a tomb? Seems an odd assumption. Especially with the well inside it. Was this a civic building where members of the community could get fresh water? A sort of public works / utility maybe? If you think about the investment of labor that went into the building of it, why would they do it unless it was an important benefit to the community.

It's never a good thing that we lose these remains. However, the press has blown what happened here out of all proportion. The stones in question are small and seem already to have been moved and used to make a field boundary wall by a farmer. There would have been very little chance of a date determination and these are certainly not a part of the Carnac or Ménac alignments as has been implied by the press. Prior to this story, this collection of stones was barely known about. Michael.

Recently a circle was found in Lake Michigan U.S.A... in Lake Michigan. I think we would find far more if we looked at areas that were considered ground during the last Ice Age.

You've been correct up until now regarding sites not being 'sacred etc', don't spoil it now by thinking any of the Malta/Gozo constructions are 'temples' - they have a very specific function and are linked to the 'cart ruts'. Give it more head thinkin'. BTW the recessed door panels have been put back in the wrong place - they should be on the floor with the recess uppermost.

Even at the time of excavation, the local farmers in the area were able to point it out and explain what it was. I live in the local area. I am not sure where you got that information from?

I'd like to suggest another tangent. I, myself, don't have the connections to follow this, but if I'm right, it would be important. Given several different threads, I follow, I surmise that iron smelting may have been discovered/invented in Western Africa. Why? Well there's one area that so far appears via archaeology to have had iron before bronze! King Tut had an iron dagger of which no one knows the derivation . The Norse had a very early source of improved iron that has never been traced, and they may have been capable of sailing to western Africa. (No I don't believe their legend that it came from trolls!) Being an elderly woman isolated in the Pacific Northwest of America, I have few resources, but you may know someone who would be able to follow this up.
