I think the idea of a future human civilisation discovering Mount Rushmore and how they'd interpret it is a fascinating one. Makes you think about whether we've misinterpreted discoveries of ancient civilisations or even just historical artefacts. Who's to say we got it all right? We probably haven't, we can only assume.

This is my favorite definition: Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal. A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Margaret Mead’s summary: helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts.

There's a probable reason why so many cultures have flood myths. Floods fall into a sort of Goldilocks zone when it comes to disasters. Unlike volcanoes and earthquakes, they are relatively common. They are more common than plagues (present situation notwithstanding) and they leave enough survivors to pass on tales to the next generation. Yet they cause enough hardship to leave significant trauma behind. Unlike fires, they cannot be fought or controlled too easily. To ancient people, floods must have been the most terrifying common disaster they'd encounter in their lifetimes. Let's not forget that their cosmologies were different from ours -- deep waters like seas were usually the limits of their world and smacked strongly of the unknown ("Here be monsters"). Enough people would have been familiar with floods for cultures to frame myths and stories around them. Not very different from how we have so many stories of nuclear armageddon in the 60s and 70s when the cold war was at its height and nuclear arms race rampant. For many cultures, floods must have been like their ultimate armageddon.

To anyone vaguely interested in anthropology, I HIGHLY recommend the book Sapiens. You’ll look more sceptically at the statement “and you were born here! Look how lucky you are!” To put it shortly, we weren’t made for the way we made ourselves live. Prehistoric humans didn’t quite live in the hellscape we imagine, even if it was far less comfortable. We strive for convenience and comfort, thinking it brings us happiness. Things are more complicated than that. In fact, is brings us problems. Some we know of, some we never even think about. We also can’t go back on any inventions with negative consequences, and we’re advancing faster than we or the earth can adapt to. Also, crops domesticated us more than we domesticated them, even if it was our idea (hard to explain, that one). So basically, those people who first started doing agriculture, they opened Pandora’s Box, and we can never go back. Again, I recommend the book, especially if you think I’m going insane.

Progress is not linear nor assured. For example, our Justice system went backwards on accommodating the mental ill when it comes to crime thanks to the Conservative political action after John Hinckley's insanity defense put him in a mental institution instead of prison for the attempted murder of President Reagan. That is just but one example. Our advanced civilization can be taken down by a solar event aimed right at Earth, frying out 98% of the electronic equipment we have here on Earth and much of what we have in space. Called the Carrington effect, first documented in 1859, it destroyed and altered telegraph systems worldwide. Or taken down by a lost Russian bomber accidently bombing Poland and starting World War 3. Either will plunge us into a new dark age. Or an election of a dictator in America that trashed the Constitution, destroying the decades of progress in making Democratic principles real in America in a matter of days. Progress can be rolled back or shattered at any point.

It is a common misconception that before agriculture the hunter-gatherers struggled from day-to-day to get food to survive. Game of all descriptions abounded, trees, bushes and plants covered the lands where these peoples dwelled, bearing fruits and nuts. Roots and tubers of every description grew under the earth. For most people it was a time of plenty interspersed with extreme natural disasters that wiped out whole tribes: volcanoes, earthquakes, floods, wildfires, meteor impacts, AND tribal warfare. This was the period when Gobekli Tepe was built by hunter-gatherers 11,000 years ago: no farming, no domesticated animals. Another historical booboo was the Roman time-line. The Roman Empire lasted 500 years but it was preceded by the Roman Republic, which lasted 500-700 years until Julius Caesar became Emperor. That was a continuous period of development and civilisation in which the GOVERNMENT changed halfway through. Interesting as it was, this video was a compilation of outdated, outmoded ideas and information with barely supportable speculation.

Joe, you are an amazing speaker!! You really draw your watchers in!!

It could be that flood myths are so widespread because most advanced agricultural human civilizations formed near rivers, lakes, and seas as opposed to drier inland areas. Once you are close to shore, events like tsunamis or storms could really affect you, and then those small localized floods inspire myth and legend worldwide.

Australian aboriginals have flood, volcano and mega fauna stories orally handed down for thounds of years. Academics have dated the oldest of these stories to the end of the last ice age when huge tracts of the Australian continental shelf were submerged under the rising sea levels. It shows that oral histories based upon observed events can survive for at least 10 thousand years (and possibly longer). The flood stories first written down by bronze age middle eastern peoples are probably based on older orally passed on stories.

I question whether Mount Rushmore would be the big key. The reason I say that is because of how long it takes for silicates, silicon, ceramics, and glasses to decompose. From what I can gather, it might take up to 2 million years for a modern CPU to decompose to a state which would leave it unidentifiable. Borosilicate glasses seem to be even more stable for the LONG HAUL. So...between a Pyrex measuring glass, pressed ceramic body armors, and PC components, I think this hypothetical future archaeologist might have a better idea of just how advanced we are than stonework. Plastics would be another key as mentioned, but much of their actual structure would have broken down within such a long time. Also...it also just seems like anything with silicon in its structure (short of silane) is pretty much guaranteed to last.

Bro, I see your Dune book in the background. I'm reading it right now, most amazing story I've ever found. I just started watching your channel a week ago. Coincidence?

The Silurians in Doctor Who were so named because the human character who discovered them wrongly labelled the era he thought they lived in. The Doctor later reflects in a 1973 story that they should have been called "Eocenes" which is indeed the era of the thermal maximum. The Silurians show us a sculpture of their globe as having a Pangaea landmass and that hasn't existed for 175 million years. So god only knows when they're supposed to be from?! As a species the "Silurians" and their aquatic "Sea Devil" cousins were obsessively eco-conscious. They built their whole civilisation around a concept of harmony with nature. Their technology took on a grown, organic appearance, and they went out of their way not to damage the ecosystem. They were also big on using solar and geothermal energy sources. That would probably have worked to minimise their environmental footprint. However in real life it's almost inconceivable any intelligent civilisation could develop so cleanly. The Silurians were invented for a 1969 story of Doctor Who when the real world Earth Sciences were rather more primitive than they are today. The Silurians supposedly went into their hibernation chambers because they thought a wandering planetoid passing the Earth would severely disrupt the atmosphere. Instead that planetoid was captured into Earth orbit and became the Moon. Today that's a ludicrous tale, but in the 60s that was still a valid hypothesis for the origins of the Moon. It took the Apollo mission and the return of lunar samples to understand the shared origins of the Earth-Moon system. Despite the woeful mess of misunderstood science in the creation of the Silurians, what still bugs me most of all is that in newer Doctor Who stories, the reptilian Silurians are depicted as having boobs. What the actual &%£!? Someone clearly doesn't know what the word "mammal" means!!

@originaluddite

3 жыл бұрын

The original Silurians were awesome. I think they could have maintained that in the revived series just by keeping those masks rather than showing they had overly human faces. If anything they become _too_ easy to relate to which I feel undermines the message of the story that relating to something very different from ourselves is challenging. I'm okay with them having sexual dimorphism however - we technical never see 'boobs' on those thoroughly dressed creatures - and the notion they segregate into warrior and civilian authority groups was interesting. But I should try and get back to the topic of the video. Would a reptilian race be more likely to go for renewable resources than we have? Maybe if you are cold-blooded and recognize the value of sunning yourself on a rock then you would have a greater sense that the Sun provides power. Or is burning stuff just initially too convenient a thing to do?

@originaluddite

3 жыл бұрын

@ShaunDoesMusic both neat and bleak. :) I guess if the Silurians had in fact been from the Silurian period then definitely they would have lacked fossil fuels. But like you I cannot say how long it takes for such deposits to develop - would they have been useful by the Mesozoic? All this is definitely fun to think about.

When I was a lot younger, I played Half-Life 2 for the first time and was just messing around in the starting level while listening to Dr. Breen give his whole speech about how humanity willingly subjugating themselves to their alien overlords was a good thing, and at one point he says: "Are all the accomplishments of humanity fated to be nothing more than a layer of broken plastic shards thinley strewn across a fossil bed, sandwiched between the Burgess shale and an eon's worth of mud?" The moment he said this line I got goosebumps, it always stuck with me because of its implications, it's a rhetorical question that we all know the answer to. The Earth will greatly outlive us and anything we have built will eventually be lost to time, and if something ever did uncover our remains, all they'd find is some plastic, our legacy for the ages.

I've always loved this thought experiment. My thought is that it depends on your definition of "advanced." For example small city states could be considered advanced. In a 300,000 year timescale we could of had several civilizations as advanced as say the ancient Greeks or the Aztecs without ever finding evidence in the fossil record. I would say that the chances are at least plausible that humans formed some kind of settlements that engaged in trade with each other long before we thought they did. Gobekli Tepe was built 11,000 years ago and that was pretty advanced for simple hunter gatherers. Either way the answer is definitely not aliens lol. Humans are highly intelligent and extremely violent. We could have easily wiped ourselves out several times over without leaving a trace long before discovering hydrocarbons and plastic.

Surely not sporting equipment. There are examples from the ancient world all over which we think was their purpose. Egyptians, it was found using clay, grape juice and a few metals used in the period could achieve rudimentary electroplating - like gold electroplating. Meaning that what was thought to be solid gold pieces in fact weren't in many cases. But without context and written history so different and incomplete to our understanding, we are left to speculate. And the fact is that throughout modern history, we are known to be wrong on many things and regard the now as being superior than what was before.

Look into Charles Hapgood's theories on crustal displacement and the research done by Mark Carlotto on ancient sites and pole alignments

Oh, one potential origin that you might have missed for the Flood story: Sumarians. While it's VERY debatable, it's possible that they came up from what is now the Arab Gulf. Which, at the time, would have been a river valley and possibly a lush one. As the water rose through the valley driving people out, it could have sunk a lush and fertile place and sparked the origin of Gilgamesh's flood story. While it's unclear if that was far enough back to spread to all Human corners of the world, it could be a possible candidate for that and the Garden of Eden story. Note this isn't me saying those things existed in the way that theology does. But a fertile river valley that was lost forever does sound like, over many generations, it could become a story of a paradise on Earth that Humans were driven out of by an angry God or Gods. And losing all your civilization had, at the time, known, could seem like a global flood. If you've never encountered it, check out the Fall of Civilization's KZread channel. While it isn't hard science, so don't take it as such, it is well researched and the author is good to distinguish between religion and history. The episode on the Sumerians was very interesting to me.

My grandmother's old cast iron skillet was about the only thing to survive when her house burned down in the 70's. It had to be re-seasoned but it's still going strong today. Surface like glass, eggs slide right off of it

I just want an explanation for the huge precision cut stones that are found underneath more modern workings.

Shout out to the aboriginal folks in Australia, whose stories stretch back some 60,000 years (several of which have been scientifically confirmed through geology). Super cool to have a continuous oral tradition that old.

Not my opinion, thats what I've heard from 1st person accounts of ex gov employees that were "on site" during such events. I recommend checking out LMH's Earth Files... She's an investigative journalist of 4+ decades, who interviews gov and military sources on weird stuff. She was the original reporter who popled the lid on the cattle mutations decades ago.

Bro, you were right... New Evidence Humans Were Cooking Fish 700,000+ Years AGO!! I now believe humans are older than we know.

I thought that the best we could hope for in that far-future scenario is basically the layers of radioactive isotopes would rise sharply enough during the atomic era that it would suggest a non-natural source? Gotta love how the best we can hope for is “it really looks like something was creating combustion residue and nuclear fallout during this brief time period before the climate collapsed rapidly.”

This is the best video so far for me and time for an update

I've always liked the idea from various science fiction books for sapient dinosaurs or reptiles that existed millions of years ago. It's fun to imagine even if we will never have proof of it.
