Enjoyed The narrating of this video. She did a nice job. It’s funny though how what we view as “facts”, becomes laughable shortly after. For instance JWT has proven the “facts” of how the Big Bang worked, wrong. It will be the same…with the “theory” of evolution. There’s as much blind faith in this theory as those who say “once saved always saved”…. “The blind leading the blind, both will fall into the pit.”

People never talk about Herculaneum, the town up the coast from Pompeii. They found the most amazingly preserved artifacts and humans. They found statues that I’ve always believed were white were actually colorfully painted. Beautifully painted furniture. They were able to analyze the sewers to determine local diets for both upper class and lower class people. Truly more astonishing than Pompeii, imo. If you’ve not heard of it, I’d highly recommend YouTubing a documentary! Edited for nitpicking. The point is it’s a cool discovery that a lot of people don’t know about. Like jfc touch some grass.

I think Gobekli Tepe is by far the most significant of the 20. While I have a deep appreciation for all archaeology, Gobekli Tepe challenges what we think we know about ancient humans. This site predates many ancient civilizations by 6-7000 years. The monoliths weighed tens of tons. It really doesn’t add up that hunter gatherers constructed this marvelous site. This challenges our knowledge and excites me!

Other than the obvious fact that we know a bit and a lot more is left to understand from all of the 20 . I believe Lucy and other "records of information" deserve to be higher up because of the amount of information that can be or has been decoded from it and it's contribution to the gaps of our understanding that has or is expected to fill. Gobekli tepe is greatly important, arguably the most in terms of history due to its unique nature, the Rosetta stone beats it in terms of contribution to humanity as it has a good chance of helping us unlock a massive treasure trove of information that is staring at our face with no means to unlock it.

Agreed to much focus on the Middle East and Europe archaeology finds

Fun fact: Troy's emplacement was common knoweldege at least up to the fifteenth century. It is mentioned in 1406 account of the trip of the Castilian ambassador Gonzalo Ruy Clavijo, who was sent in 1403 to establish an alliance between the king Enrique the Third of Castile with the emperor Timur. The ambassadors met Timur but the embassy finished with their host demise in 1405, so they simply returned to Spain. The chronicle describes in detail the trip from Southern Spain to Samarkand, all along the Mediterranean Sea up to the Black Sea and then by land from what is todaty Northern Turkey to Uzbekistan. The detailed description includes places like Gaeta, Rhodes, Constantinople, Trebisond, Tehran or Samarkand. Troy is explicitily cited when the expedition enters the Dardanelles strait (mentioned as the 'Romanian Mouths') and it said that is 'in the land of Turkey' (at the time the North Western bank of the strait was still Greek, except Gallipoli while the South Eastern bank was already Turkish). It is also described a 'Four Ways Cape' (which I could not have located but it may be modern Kumkale where 'there was a city and ancient castle where the Greeks established their base against Troy'). It is possible that the emplacement was forgotten to Western Europeans with the fall of Constantinople in 1453, while the Turks may have simply ignored it as Homer's writings were not part of their cultural heritage,

It's quite interesting that Göbekli Tepe is the first ever temple, meaning religion was created long before we created farming. We probably had religion long before that, but Göbekli Tepe is the first ever temple and settlements, and Göbekli Tepe is 11,500 to 11,000 years old, which means the first ever religious temple and settlement pre-dates farming by 500 to 1,500 years.
