This is the type of content I can spend hours, days even, watching/researching. Just so many hidden truths of what people call myth or stories, conspiracy theories, etc. The native tribes know far more about these topics then we in modern day could possibly imagine.

You know you got a lot of time on your hands when you set out to create enormous rock spheres with hand tools

I love this but the fact of the matter is the “experts” are just guessing! It annoys me when scientists yell and say this is how it is! Even tho every 20-50 years we do something that people said wasn’t possible. We act like we know about the universe and gravity but we have NO clue and it’s shows

This is kind of pedantic, but the Sword in the Stone and Excalibur are two different swords. Arthur got the Sword in the Stone as a young man as the badge of leadership. Later in his life, he got Excalibur from the Lady of the Lake.

Stone Hinged is a landing site for Flying saucers folks

Archeologist Ed BarnHart : "This is all-natural made by nature." I'm laughing, made my day

[BrianBrazilHarmonica]

The Ancient Celts who populated most of Europe over 3, 000 years ago had a tradition of throwing jewelry, shields and swords into lakes and streams as a sacrifice to the spirits realm. That tradition was carried on into the middles ages.

This is interesting and makes me think; all the experts were guessing; we didn't come away with any thing solid .

Love watching documentaries like this.

Being of Welsh and Celtic descent, I was very interested in the material on the Arthurian legends. The Lady of the Lake was one of a family of Welsh or Celtic water fairies known as the "She." if you run into her cousin the Banshee, you're in trouble. Unlike the kind Lady of the Lake, the Banshee is a harbinger of death. Keep up the good work guys. we need lots of unexplained mysteries to keep our imaginations going, and intellect without imagination is in big trouble.

Bigfoot did the cave paintings. He was the Bob Ross of the era.

[Oakie]

Stonehenge looks like a places to sit in a circle for the giants that some peoples believe. It would explain how the rocks got there. The giants Carried them there.

[dungeonsanddobbers]

Arthur didn't pull the sword Excalibur from a stone, he pulled it "from stone and anvil". It's a metaphor for smithing, the stone being ore and the anvil being, well, an anvil.

[billygrider]

Think of all the artifacts that have been misdated that could point to a civilian tens of thousands of years old just because we're too stuck on the fact that we finished evolving withing the last few thousand years

[rudyhernandez]

The art is proof of the fallen ones. The literature written bring it all together.

[tonyaxeman]

It has been said a Japanese sword maker made a sword that sliced thru a cannon . It was that sharp!

[karinaannks]

For the clip regarding the Excalibur Sword, at about 1233 it looks like a face carved out of the rock the sword was stuck in. Like Roman sculptures. Makes you wonder if it could have once been a display of some sorts, like in middle of a town??

[chris.asi_romeo]

This perfect for midnight watching on bed time.

[saigonmonopoly]

If we can cross the ocean by what ever means we can then why is it so hard to think that ancient people can just be accidentally floating there by accident like Columbus did?

[uhmokay]

Didn't know people could just casually touch and smudge ancient rock paintings like that >__>
