The topic of this lecture is just what I was looking for and best of all Thompson taps into the Matristic culture, which I would love to hear him talk more on. Thanks so much for sharing!

Beautiful lecture. Rip Marja Gimbuta 🙏❤️❤️

To answer your question at 13:10 it's because they are maps. Would you forget the shape of where you were from?

hey my history teacher made me watch this, comment if your history teacher did too

This is an interesting talk. Dr. Thompson is highly critical of past interpretations in paleoarcheology but then he procedes to make many assumptions and speculation without acknowledging it as such.

Thanks to this lecture I now want to read Dale Guthrie's "The Nature of Paleolithic Art" which according to Thompson 'is incredibly simple minded and linear and literal'

Great storyteller

Interesting and informative lecture. Thanks for posting this video.

6:21 sooo the "Grimaldi" or earliest homo sapien sapiens skeletons and their artefacts which were found at an earlier level than the "cromagnon", no longer exists? Who showed a different physiology than the later and more robust skeletons, they were older by tens of thousands years??

...Coming in with their frontal lobes and judgment.

16.03 Archaeoastronomy, that’s how they knew

He sure seems rather impressed by himself.

For the love of all that is good, stop telling people that dogs came from the wolf. Dogs and wolves came from the same Ancestor and diverged to become very similar but different canids. Dogs did not come from wolves.

Bro, I believe that everyone is related to everyone, but out of Africa is a lie. I have proof of that, and that the artwork is mostly maps, if youre interested.

Crap

Race is cultural, which is why MRI scans detect differences between the 3 major races - Asian, African and European. The bits of the lecture about Art was good all the same.

It's kind of hard to take the rest of his talk seriously when he starts promoting astral projection and out of body experiences based on a dream his kid told him.

It’s also hard to create spaces for discourse of a non-materialist kind in cultures which do not have the language for addressing transcendent transcendent issues.

In other words , you didn't like what he was saying so you shut him out. Being biased will not help you. It just makes you an ignorant putz. No doubt you've spent the last two years in your own little echo chamber. Edited for punctuation.
