Secrets of the Stone Age (1/2) | DW Documentary

During the Stone Age, humans shifted from the nomadic lifestyle to the more settled life of farmers. A documentary on an important period of human history. Watch Part 2 here: • Secrets of the Stone A...
Around 12,000 years ago, humans underwent a transition from nomads to settlers. That epoch, the Stone Age, produced monumental building works. Part 1 of this two-part documentary illuminates the cultural background of these structures and shows the difficulties Stone Age humans had to contend with. Until around 10,000 BC, humans lived as hunters and gatherers. Then an irreversible change began. Settlements formed. "For millions of years humans lived as foragers and suddenly their lives changed radically. This was far more radical than the start of the digital age or industrialization," says prehistorian Hermann Parzinger, president of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation. For a long time, scholars believed that a sedentary lifestyle was a prerequisite for constructing large buildings. Then archaeologist Klaus Schmidt discovered Göbekli Tepe in southern Turkey, a 12,000-year-old complex of stone blocks weighing up to 20 tons. Its builders were still hunter- gatherers. They decorated the stone columns with ornate animal reliefs. How these structures were used and who was allowed access to them remains a mystery. But we now know that the site was abandoned and covered over once settlements took root. Human development continued its course. The discovery of agriculture and animal husbandry led to larger settlements, a changed diet and ultimately to dependence on material goods. This social upheaval in the late Neolithic period has influenced our lives up to the present day. But experts agree that the monuments of the Stone Age prove that humans have gigantomanic tendencies and a need to immortalize themselves.

    *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*

    Wish I were going. There is one stone in particular there which dropped my jaw Everytime from the first I saw it. About 33 (?) minutes into a documentary on monuments or monoliths there is this one that at the angle, in the lighting filmed, there is an overwhelmingly realistic, if worn, base relief carving(?). To me it appeared to be a standing male, in a fur(?) loin cloth. Facing, three quarters or more, facing the camera. Arms hanging relaxed by his sides. Hands in relaxed semi curves. Serene and muscular. Level gaze out over the land before him. I named it the "Esau stone," after Jacob's son. I have never seen or heard of anyone else noting this. I am sure it was the lighting, but have also wondered if someone doctored the film. Or even shaded/tinted the face of the stone itself. I could see it Everytime I watched the film, but doubt if it would be seen at all except with the exact lighting and angle. I am unlikely ever to know.

    Bem Fawkes Its never too late! My friend started pre-med at the age of 41; The other day I saw an old lady on tv graduate from college with her 1st undergraduate degree at the age of 86. If you really want this, start with an online college course; get your 101s and 102s out of the way. If necessary, those same schools may provide refresher classes to get you up to speed. There are some schools that do offer entire undergrad courses online. One thing: as an archeologist, you may be required to go out into the field. Whatever the case may be, go for it! Good luck! God bless!

    Your current age is not given, but how much are you willing and able to invest? One must be careful when "studying" so that you don;t just repeat what you read and are told by someone else. Methodology is a valid pursuit, but conclusions should be made very carefully. Don't let your ego prevent you from saying "I don't know".

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    sedentary is being used in an anthropological context, meaning staying in one place for a long period

    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?
