Honestly these types of mysteries is what I love to get answers for. Time machine is ever invented, definitely going back to explore these! 😮💨🤯
When it comes to cave paintings and people going “what do these mean?”, isn’t it possible people are looking way too deep into it? Think about it, outside of hunting and breeding, there wasn’t a whole lot to do. I like to think some cave guy just got bored, realized he could draw with rocks and just wanted to break the boredom with no deeper meaning lol. We think it was ritualistic, he thought “I drew a pretty wolf lol”

Yeah, but, like, what do they mean?
The Nazca lines and Stonehenge still bewilder me today. One day, I hope to visit Stonehenge and get more insight into it.

I wouldn’t bother. The theory of it is far more interesting than seeing it in real life. It’s quite underwhelming tbh. I’m from England btw.

NEVER underestimate the ingenuity and creative brilliance of early humans.
These unsolved mysteries are interesting! I like how it all has to do with prehistory! The facts are interesting, too. I learned some new things.
For some of these mysteries, the solution would be "for fun".
More videos like this, please.
Gobekli Tepe is more than a temple complex, there is a city whose architecture is unique. Even more puzzling is that the evidence shows that the whole place was deliberately abandoned and buried. At least one relief appears to show the comet strike in the North Atlantic which had a profound effect on the climate.
These ones sure are intriguing.

I recall a documentary on Neanderthals that talked about the mortality rate for women giving birth was too dangerous for them to be sustainable. There was also evidence that the women folk could not give birth inside the cave, which greatly contributed to the death rate.

They didn't always live in caves, they were a nomadic people that built their own shelters when one couldn't be found.

It's unsolved, but Thumbnailus Erectus is having a good laugh.
While I realize that the Earth's Children (Clan of the Cave Bear) series by Jean Auel is historical fiction, she put a TON of research into her books which take place roughly 30000 years ago around the time the Neanderthals started to disappear. She has some fascinating theories and explanations for many of the unsolved prehistoric mysteries in this video.

Some mysteries should always be left alone, while others are meant to be cracked. Only time will tell if we're meant to unravel these mysteries
Pretty sure they figured out Stonehenge

Some things are better, just left along it's not meant for humans to know everything. You might just end up messing with something that you'll regret finding.

I don’t understand why the settling of the American’s is supposed to be such a mystery. Australia was settled 60.000 years ago and was never connected to Eurasia. So were many islands. First people out of Africa settled along the coasts of the Indian Ocean. People must have had boats way before Beringia fell dry.

Nazca lines are no mystery; they’re comic book pictures for the gods
Stonehenge was a clock
They had tools 17000 years ago?

Why? I'm honestly tired of not knowing everything our ancestors were up to/encountered. I wish they had video recording tech way way way way back in the day. Albeit, depending on what's recovered, people would call some a hoax even if something in particular did happen.

@VDOTU5 I'm with you on this one. I recently learned why they arent digging up more of gobeckli tepe, some Egyptian archeological sites, etc. It is bc they are saving some for future generations to discover. So. Basically they are not learning everything we could right now bc they want to save some for future generations to dig up. Wtf dig it up already. Future generations will find new stuff or move on to new discoveries. It's so much bs
