    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”

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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
