Never trust a people that believe that they exist on level between heaven and earth . Religion is insanity and the Chinese communist party is a godless religion .

They are going back to the ancient time soon by their CCP leaders 🤔🤔🤔
WOW, I am facinated by the Sahera being much greener, and before that the bottom of a ocean with whal,e bones found in our present day desert, do not know the Aribic name or Egyption name but it refers to some thing like valley of bones? So a much greener time, that I need to refresh myself on. Another thing is this was not really to long ago, geologicaly speaking. The African plate, I just remembers moving North into the meditranian sea closing the water in a huge basin that evenualy dried up. Interesting.
Hey great content. Please consider putting your Bibliography out here.
Imagine the finds in Doggerland 😍
All of that just to spend billions obsessively trying to steal American intelectual property instead of inventing their own shit one day

Where is the music from originally? I swear its the same used in Rust
No...agriculture has not too much to do with it. When a tribe grows too large and so ruling/solving problems becomes more difficult and time-consuming and demanding different skills, then a 'prime leader/premier/prime-minister/king/chef=sheriff=shariff-chief/boss, etc.. first chosen but soon (the family is used to special treatments and wealth) became a heriditary lucrative job. Working/fighting was no longer needed. 24hours protection was requiered. In no time an 'elite-group' with special treatment and beneficials was established. In my opinion, an automatic irreversable mechanisme. Also...after wars, the captured 'non-humans' served as dispensable slaves. The lowest 'class', the 'dalith's', the deplorables.
The reason for growth might have been 1)fertile population 2)fertile soil and nature 3)an agressive attitude and hunger for wealth and power 4)'sharing' goods and food was not a cherished lifestyle, certainly not with foreigners. Anything changed in our attitude?
Someone made those maps with Wonderdraft 😃
So bummed to see you haven’t continued this fantastic series! Hope you surprise us after a 3 year gap lol
Excellent video. {:o:O:}
Is there anywhere where people could purchase some of the illustrations?
Fantastic history calmly told
before Marco Polo there were no knowledge about China.
These documentaries are so great, you are a histomonster.
Imagine how incredible the world would be if such creatures existed.
With content like this, no other streaming service is required. Thank you for all your time and work.
18:00 I thought dragons were mythical, but this made me curious so I looked it up. It turns out there is a real animal called a Chinese dragon, it is a local alligator species. It is endangered now, but at that time it would have been common. Look up Chinese alligator to see pictures of the real thing. They get to be about 5 to 7 feet in length and up to 80 to 100 lb. Not mythical after all! No wonder dragons are considered water animals. They are real live alligators. LOL
whos gonna win, NATO or china?
The Sumerians were an interesting people.
It must have seemed strange for people to count their years backwards as they did in those days.
prehistoric celts: chalcolothic shenanignans prehistoric asians: sociological stratification, dawn of inequality looool nice video dude
Hiya :) I love your channel - fantastic content and I very much appreciate the proper sourcing! I have a teeny suggestion: I know it's an older video, but if you're ever revisiting a quick check of Irish pronunciations would help. They're not easy, and you did a great job but there were a few that made me flinch 😅
I don't disagree with what's being said, but other prehistoric societies are never framed this way.
This is officially the oldest joke in the book.
Wove twu wove
Almost halfway through the video and still no puns in the punic war smh
This channel has quickly become one of my favorites ever
Sadly China of today is ashamed of their history
Contemplating human nature, one is forced to conclude, that inequality appeared with the appearance of more than on person in one place.
Thank you, cant wait for the next video
Im really loving this birth of china series! I hope it continues for a long time to come. Curious about 2 main things, A) how much "traditional historiography" will be covered going forward. Im hoping very little personally. I hope/expect this video series to stick purely to the archaeology. And B) how the next video(s) will be divided in terms of years covered. Will this next video cover the pre-erlitou culture or cover it itself? Personally, I think an entire video on the 3000BC-2000BC period is very possible, so I hope it takes that narrower focus. Leave the Erlitou culture for a video further down.
2200 BC: *and it hasn't stopped raining since*
Hierarchy describes an organization, a company, a state. Inequality is a whole different kettle of fish. Hierarchies that result in mass inequalities throughout a community are tyrannies.
