Which discovery will end up being the most important?

Professor Miano is the man. Since you're interested in Bronze Age Mediterranean history, his channel should be a treasure trove for you. He also has some pretty funny TikTok history and pseudo-archaeology takedowns on his channel.

The channel "miniminuteman" could also be right up your alley in regards of archeology

6:37 Turkey officially decided that it would henceforth be called only by its endonym, Türkiye. Hence the slight change in pronunciation.

Just because it's ancient, doesn't make people uneducated. Just because we don't know how things were built /made back in time, doesn't mean they didn't have the equivalent of an Einstein or Hawking in their society. Stands to reason

Do you watch "Expedition Unknown, " Mr. Terry? I love Josh Gates and all the neat stuff he finds.

19:00 I wonder how much history is lost because people didn’t write on inorganic materials, even if it was as simple as scratching into leaves. Were people in general more literate than what we give them credit for, but they just didn’t have access or need to use age resistant materials? Have there been thousands of Ancient Greek poems that simply have degraded into nothingness because they weren’t famous enough to be immortalized in their pop-culture as songs?

For example in China, there’ve been numerous examples of symbols that look suspiciously like future ideographs etched on pottery dating to like the 6, 000’s, but oracle bones have only been found since the mid 2-1, 000’s.

It’s fascinating to think that it’s likely that writing is much much older in every known early civilization than has been found so far

World of Antiquities is such a great YouTube channel

*shakes fist* darn spanish empire hiding and destroying ancient american history!

[GamingDamage]

Great video and channel, I actually watched this earlier today but I'll watch it again with you!

I highly suggest MiniMinuteman/ Milo Rossi
He’s been traveling across North America and visiting different sights

Ostia Antica outside of Rome is absolutely fascinating. You can freely roam the ancient port city and see not only homes but businesses frozen in time.
Ostia Antica, and also the Protestant Cemetery, were my most magical visits there. Guess I'm a Rome nerd 😊

There have been multiple imperial consorts named Wu in China, but you’re probably thinking of Wu Zetian of the Tang dynasty, the only empress regnant of China. She came to power fourteen centuries ago, whereas Emperor Wu of the Han dynasty was over twenty-one centuries ago.

Have you done a vid on the pyramids in Bosnia? 30, 000 years old. The tunnels were filled in 5, 000 years ago. Should check those out.

For me I'd say that the most important is a tie between the sea port because so little is widely known about the sea peoples for as much as they're talked about and his #1 pick just because it was so much and it's something they've been searching for

The Maya developed sites throughout the eastern part of North America after their collapse in Central America. Long canoes and pyramid styles have been found throughout the southeast.

my favorite China Dynasty era is the Three Great Kingdoms Wu, Shu and Wei

I know I've suggested this to you before but if you haven't yet read "The Lost City of the Monkey God" by Douglas Preston, you really should. Among other things, it goes into the difficulties in just getting permits to do archeology in some of these countries as well as some of the dangers faced. It's an excellent book. It also goes into a great deal of history of previous searches for Ciudad Blanca. Lots of cons involved and fascinating reading!
