NEW Dates For SUBMERGED NEOLITHIC Bridge In MALLORCA

Research on a submerged Neolithic bridge in a cave on Mallorca that was thought to date to the Naviform period, has yielded a much earlier date of around 6,000 years ago. Not only does this change the date of the bridge, but it also pushes back the timeline for the human occupation of Mallorca by more than a millennium. In this video I discuss this research, as well as an analysis of copper pollution at the ancient Khufu harbour in Egypt and the direct and indirect evidence for the use of skin boats in Neolithic Scandinavia.

On the Giza port I'm waiting for the other industrial uses of the port to be revealed. For example, the import area for the materials used to make the limestone/concrete blocks cast to build the Great Pyramid, or the facilities for import of say the granite beams of the Great pyramid or the gold and other objects to be placed in the tombs, not to mention the supplies etc used by the workers in their villages. A busy port. Also, I'm guessing that there has to be a major servicing road to the north of all the pyramids leading out of the port which accommodated sled traffic for the movement of beams and other objects to be brought into the pyramids up the lengthy ramps that went into the north entries of these structures. One road or a series of roads to the immediate north of Giza to accommodate service for the tombs, not referring here to the causeways leading up to the eastern faces of the pyramids. BTW the causeway for the Great pyramid skirts the cemetery in front of it, indicating that the eastern cemetery existed before the Great Pyramid was built. Thanks Laura!

Thanks, we can guess that large, sea-worthy vessels were used by their ancestors too, if you think the 'kelp highway' hypothesis has any merit, which I do. Also, two dug out canoes lashed together give a larger transportation area for cargo, animals, people etc, I believe the polynesian explorers and colonisers did something similar. I would love to see anyone put a cow in a canoe lol

It’s absurd to think that skin boats came before trees. People recognized that logs float millions of years ago. Stone tools are also millions of years old. Digging out the top of a log to make it easier to sit on is superb ancient. Skin boats are extremely new in comparison .

In the northern Pacific rim, whether skin boats or log boats were used depended on availability. For instance, trees were at best rare if they existed at all in the Aleution Islands. The locals had no choice but to use skin boats. When they pulled them out of the sea, they turned them upside down to keep water from getting in and then raised them up off the ground by a couple of meters or so to keep dogs from chewing on them.

They made a couple of different types of boats. Kayaks were used by single individuals for hunting whales, seals and whatever.They wore skin clothing that was watertight and they secured the bottom to the hole to keep seawater from getting into the kayak.

They also made canoes for taking families to potlatches, which were intertribal meetings.

"4, 700 years ago"? You got that wrong at the beginning: it was c. 4700 BCE, which is the same date as all the Eastern Iberian Neolithic settlement. However there were already Neolithic dates before those in Aragon, which were usually treated as "out of place artifacts" (i.e. some sort of error, treat with caution).

This c. 5600 date proposed for the bridge's construction is still almost a thousand years before that but I would treat it also as "out of place artifact" unless more evidence is forthcoming. It's not impossible though: at least in Corsica there're some indications of pre-Neolithic settlement as well.

Always awesome💯💯💯 Makes complete sense that they built boats out of skins. They were already wearing them!

Ynglinga Saga, Chapter 7

Odin had a ship which was called Skidbladnir, in which he sailed over wide seas, and which he could roll up like a cloth.


Gylfaginning, XLIII

“…Certain dwarves, sons of Ívaldi, made Skídbladnir and gave the ship to Freyr. It is so great that all the Æsir may man it, with their weapons and armaments, and it has a favoring wind as soon as the sail is hoisted, whithersoever it is bound; but when there is no occasion for going to sea in it, it is made of so many things and with so much cunning that then it may be folded together like a napkin and kept in one's pouch."

I still think you should have a separate video for each topic. What is the advantage of putting several disparate topics in one video?

After iceage people come from somewhere to live in scandinavia. Some dna 🧬 tests says scandinavians partly comes from mediteranian, Turkey coast, maybe it was Svante pääbo who did reasearch ? I think the boats 🛶 look similar in different areas . And more…

[boba]

Lower sea levels means higher concentrations of salt resulting in more buoyancy

[bardmadsen]

Any papers connecting the volcanoes in The Mediterranean with sea level rises?

[JorgeStolfi]

Also Ithink you should place the camera a bit higher.

Drills and ancient tech used sputtering techniques later the use of metals took on
