Ancient Americas
США
Добавлен 15 авг 2019
Welcome to the Ancient Americas RUclips channel. I’m your host, Pete and together, we will explore the rich and beautiful pre-columbian history of North and South America from the initial migration of humans into the Americas, to the great empires of Mesoamerica and the Andes and everything in between. This is a history that I find endlessly fascinating but is often neglected in classrooms and misunderstood in popular media. This channel is my effort to educate you, one member of a curious public, on this period’s history and its people. If you’re tired of seeing this obscure history boiled down to aliens and giants and just want an honest approach, please subscribe to the channel. There’s a lot to learn out there!

Ancient Life on the Great Plains
The Great Plains are well-known for their indigenous traditions but also have a rich history that spans over ten thousand years. Contrary to what some people think, the plains were not a backwater but a rich and flourishing area with a diverse array of cultures that drew in outside influence and people and interacted with their neighbors. Join us as we explore the pre-columbian history of the Great Plains. A big thanks to my patrons for

Old Copper Culture: North America's Forgotten Metal Workers
The best thing that can be done for reconciliation is to return bison to all aboriginal lands that used to have them. 🦬🦬🦬🦬🦬🦬🦬🦬🦬🦬🦬🏇
Are/were the natives of those islands (or some of them) Maya/Olmec/Toltec/Aztec, etc?
Correction: The plains are West from Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Really nice work. I like the time scale,. Can u cite a source for this division or is it something you compiled for the vid?
Thank you. I used the dates in Douglas Bamforth's book "The Archaeology of the North American Great Plains" for the chronology. There's pretty universal agreement about the divisions but some archaeologies might have slightly different dates for different areas.
These low orbiting experts show their shallowness when they name a 450 year era, "Laste Basketmaker II".
@@RT-tp9nj not all names were meant to be winners.
That was excellent, it's always nice to get a true picture of something that is of interest. I'm following the work being done by hundreds of people who are seeing huge discrepancies in the official narrative of these times and the people who inhabited the lands. We seemed to be getting a more clear picture of these times but before the great Spanish invasion in the late 1400s , there was another group of humans existing in great comfort and even greater cities. These would be the people who inhabited the great white cities that seemed to be all over the land, especially where great ports could be built and used for the seemingly world wide trade networks that are evident by the use of say Rose Granite for the pillars of many of these grand, Old World structures. I don't believe it can be denied anymore, there was a great civilization all over the world, even in the US of A and, if the Cahokia people would have had a written language, I believe we would have the answers to the many questions we have about the people of those great cities, Who were they ? And, where did they go? Its obvious that their gigantic structures were here along side the cities of Cahokia,, and even the maps of the times, late 1400s, Showed ! these places and listed the people, places, towns, rivers, lakes, and ! Creatures that are no longer around but were ! The earliest maps show, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and maybe lands S. of these areas to be the ancient home of the megalithic giant people.. and most steered clear for 1 reason or another. And yet, there even seems to be an even earlier great civilization, the megalithic structures, All the same world wide rules apply. So if we can figure out Cahokia, we should be able to know something about the Old World people. TPTB don't want us to but i believe it is absolutely imperative that we have answers to these questions, it our history, our future, our truth, 🙏 we can have those things soon. Why is it Soo Dang Important to a select few people of this world to erase this " truth and history" from our collective memories, why. Let the Cahokians Speak ! They Know.
Pronounce "cordillera" like it's Spanish, because it is. And "refugia" has the stress on the second syllable. The glacier was never south of the Puget Sound, even during the glacial maximum. I think we are forced to assume an early coastal route. We have a confirmed human presence in Oregon 18,000 years ago, and a confirmed presence in New Mexico at over 21kya. Probably there were humans in the PNW at least 1,000 years before New Mexico. This video somewhat neglects the southern part of this region.
I think its very likely that there were people in that area earlier. The evidence just needs to be found.
you never use clickbait in your thumbnails or title. please keep it that way! it reflects well on your professionalism
Thanks!

The Smithsonian, for decades is to blame for placing countless artifacts in their big black hole.

Etzanoa.
If the native came from eastern hemispheres to the western hemispheres call the bering strait- now think about between this - would there be horses he 25:09 25:09 re when the whites encounter the natives. My opinion is that the native was created somewhere down yonder like south America as it is known by nowadays.
U.P. copper was mostly just picked up off the ground--little processing
Check out the book Wonderful Power. The author discusses how the copper was hammered out of outcrops and the evidence for it. I'm sure they picked up a lot of copper on the ground too.
Remains are in the fire pits. They were eaten.
Very nicely done 👏. Like deployed 👍
Thank you!
I can't help but wish these ancient people's made TikTok videos of their adventures
It would definitely save me a lot of work and frustrated curiosity.
You can Clearly see the Shape of Orion in these Mounts. Wanna Know why?
Definitely does look like that.
One thing that you kind of touched upon in the video is that maize was mostly grown near a water source. There was no irrigation to speak of. What that relates to is that Plains Natives lived within a couple miles of a fresh water source and seldom lived more than that except when migrating. Think about it, why would anyone live 20 miles from a water source? They would have to lug water 20 miles every day. This means that the Plains was mostly uninhabited by the Native peoples with exception that I mentioned where the people were near water. This may not be a factor in Minnesota that has plenty of lakes but in the Plains this is a big deal since water sources were much more sparse.
A very good point. If you ever look at a map of archaeological sites in the Great Plains, they line the rivers. In fact, you could probably take away the map and still see the river outlines perfectly.
I’m an archeology student doing a field school out in the ancient dunes rn, and the rich forgotten history is what drew me out here. It really is amazing to find a stunningly crafted obsidian point more than 400 miles from the nearest obsidian source.
The best movie of the Great Plains Kevin Costner Dancing With Wolves
It's fascinating that grain domestication happened independently around the world about a dozen millennia ago, despite humans existing for 200,000 years.
How about..BC..AD...stop the confusion
The Lake Jackson Mounds near Tallahassee contained burials of elites that included hammered copper plates. I believe these plates were made in the Mississippian city of "Cahokia" from native copper of the Keweenaw peninsula?
There's a good chance that they were. There are some other copper deposits that people exploited back then too.
Copper from the Michigan deposits has been found in European dig sites and some of the weapons were tempered. Copper can not be tempered, or so modern metallurgy tells us...
Which sites in Europe?
18:00 sorry guys i am brand new to this Mayan history and I really do not understand why that king being nicknamed the ballplayer was considered a burn to him? Or am I missing a modern day joke applied to the historical presentation? if so, my bad.
No worries. This would be the equivalent to Vladamir Putin referring to Joe Biden as "Tired Old Joe" rather than President Biden at an international summit. It would be very disrepectful to officially refer to him by a pejorative nickname rather than his name and title.
Maize, as a name, is actually not really any more correct of a name than "corn". There were hundreds of native tribes and languages and very few actually called corn maize. Furthermore, we're not even sure that the pronunciation and spelling of "Maize" is exactly correct. So corn is just fine.
Corn works and its what I use in conversation but in historical and archaeological literature, you'll typically see maize used instead.
2:49 “His name in his own language meant “one who kills difficulties or fatigue.“ Interestingly, being French, I recognize the “Mon” of “Moncacht” as being French for “My”, so I split his name up, threw it through Google translate, and it means, “I look forward to it” In Haitian Creole. I find it truly difficult to believe his “name” was his native given birth name. The perfect translation tells me the name was given to him by Haitian creoles, who were colonized by the French. I’m only 3m in, I’ll keep watching to see if this fact is addressed.
That's an incredible observation! It never occurred to me that it might be French. Thank you for catching that!
That horizontal map of coast doesn't do much for me.
It's a bit confusing but man, did it do a lot for the ease of presentation and production of the subject.
Hi everyone Northeastern Ohio here ! Let me start off saying we have found some incredible evidence ! And advanced culture wiped out by the Younger Dryas !

Michigan Coper went to egypt and Europe for the bronzeage.
Why would ancient Mediterranean people sail across the ocean to get copper when there were very abundant copper sources all around them? It's like me going to Australia to buy a six pack of coca cola instead of just getting it from the convenience store down the street.
Their is pruf of coper smelting on the beaches of alabama.
What site it that?
In San Diego, CA, there is evidence that people were there, butchering a Mastodon, 130,000 years ago.
Oh yes, we'll discuss it later in the video!
What if, people had been arriving by all different directions at the same time? Like Europe, Asia and to some extent Africa. Isolation came later.
If they did come in all directions, the best evidence has yet to be found.

Well done, sir. Thank you.
Having lived on the Navajo and Hopi Reservations for 21 years there have been people who shared their Clan histories. The Navajo have a history of coming from the North and the Hopi have a history of coming from the south. They Island hopped across the Pacific from Asia. The Navajo elder that told me his story said they traveled across the ice sheets much like the Inuit do now following the game. They went back and forth across the sheet from Asia to North America many times. It was when a crevasse opened up in the sheet they could not go back to Asia. He was of a Zuni Navajo Clan. The Hopi moved north and are related the Aztec/Mayan. I know Mitochondria DNA shows that same pattern. I wonder how many people on the European side of North American also traveled across the ice sheets. I noticed that my son whose grandmother is 100% Swedish has Y DNA matches to the same Q-m242 YDNA of the Native Americans. I do realize it is much harder to find habitation on the ice sheets as opposed to on the land. Keep up the exploration of these ideas.
It would have been a sight to behold, open meadow/prairie/plain as far as the eye could see, with herds of bison in the millions and epic flocks of birds that took _DAYS_ to fly over . . .
ouch. the textbook at $135...
That's exactly what I said when I bought it but it was well worth the price.
@@AncientAmericas I do aerospace stuff as a second job, and the two main textbooks in my main areas are $199 (and large format bigger than a phone book and 1028 pages…) and another that’s $108 (8.5x11 and 431 pages). I complain, but looking at turning my graduate class into a textbook and getting 600 pages estimates as we scope it out, and feeling a lot like I’m part of my own problem here…
Textbook prices are rough. At the end of the day, compiling and summarizing over a century of arcaheological researching spanning over 10,000 years across the entire plains requires a lot of paper and expertise.
Use one system for dimensions.
My mistake.
What year was Yale built? I guess nobody puts 2 + 2 together.
This is actually the most appalling pack of lies I have ever heard, even in comparison to the imaginative descriptions we have come to expect.
Are they related to Arawaks?
Linguistically, they are not. The muisca language is part of the chibchan family and not the arawak family. They could have other ties though.
Wait! What?!! “The earth warmed and the glaciers were retreating”?! How could that be?…Before the combustion engine? Before populations reached their present densities? Before oil? Could it be that sun cycles and the wobble of the earth on its axis affected weather patterns in prehistoric times? Or did the sun cycles and axis wobbles cease and now it’s just oil, people, and combustion engines?
Lots of things can impact the climate.
“Either or” syndrome, eh? 🤦♂️
@@asynchronicity No amount of taxing people will stop climate change.
Cannot carbon date stone. They date organic material in the area which could be very, very way off. Why do people lie about that? To prove their theories, get published, etc.
No one is saying that they carbon dated the stone itself. When archaeologists say that they've dated a stone object, they are actually dating organic material found with it to figure out when it was deposited.
Even now, with pictures of The Universe and subatomic particles, we believe that prophets are lords. Not much has changed.
It’s like game of thrones out there! Fascinating stuff.
