Hello, I'm from an area close to this place in the south coast. I would like to mention that some years ago a group archeologists from USA found here stone tools that are at least 130,000 years old, this being strong evidence of the earliest known seafaring in the Mediterranean and cause for reconsidering the early human, even prehuman maritime capabilities.
For me, this is more evidence of the Phoenician expeditions to Northwestern Eurasia (“Northern Europe”). Along with Baltic amber in Phoenician cities, words of Phoenician origin in Germanic languages and the “Viking ship” which resembles Phoenician ships thousands of years before (from the structure to the details in the symbolism).
Other details that need to be mentioned: - If these caves were carved before the common era, then the Germanic/Nordics were just beginning to arrive on the Scandinavian peninsula (they are not native there). So that makes it even less likely that they got so far in such a short time. - Why would the Vikings build something there that they didn't build anywhere else? I know it can be argued with the Phoenicians, but for obvious reasons it is much more difficult to preserve such structures in a region that is much more populated, thousands of years older and has been invaded countless times. - How did they forget to mention the Guanches? They are the closest people to Azores, they lived in caves and made similar constructions (search the internet "Guanche caves" and see for yourself). One possible explanation is that either the Guanches or some close people lived in Azores and were massacred or enslaved in some undocumented event. And yes, there is also evidence of Phoenician presence in the Canary Islands.
Congratulation my friend, those footprints almost vanished, someone cut them and tried to take them to boulgaria,,,there is one cave in north of greece you can check, in my home town there is a cave that dates (they say) its 120.000 years old ,the name is theopetra, THEOPETRA,
Despite your stating that science can only disprove, science CAN prove and explain what is being investigated. Life rarely gives us polar opposites to confront. And, while time passes information is discovered that shows multifaceted explanations for discoveries, often long after a discovery sinks from fickle public interest.
Let's say a tsunami hits your village. You find yourself and surviving members of your family clinging to floating debris for dear life. The debris floats wherever the material takes them and with no other choice these people cling to it and go to that place and continue living there. This would likely be the first instance of a raft, discovered by accident and remembered and adapted by those who survived. It's just a possibility.
Well Done! A once-in-a-million quest, chasing the most tenuous of clues to find that the treasure at the end is real. Wonderfully narrated, beautifully filmed.
My friend and I had the luck once to encounter rock painting, not nearly so old, but unprotected enough that we could have easily touched it. We didn't, since we didn't want to harm it. I marveled at it, and the smoke stains that showed past human habitation. I was shocked that there wasn't protection for it, but it also was kind of far off the normal path people would have taken, and we only stumbled upon it because I was curious and liked exploring interesting rock structures
two minutes into an eight min vid and you're still telling us what you're going to show us, on repeat... get to the freaking point. we have to fast forward just to get off the redundancy.... three minutes in, still telling us what you're going to tell us. this is pure nonsense
Why mentioning the danger of this unique find being destroyed, because you posted this video? Why then posting this video??? Or you could have kept the actual place way more secret. To me the way this is presented is far too sensational. These carvings are, though.
Because you need to know about it to save it just as much as knowing about it is a danger. Since it is already known, my goal is to get people to care about saving it. There's nothing sensational about it.
When I was a kid we had a neighbor who I was just fascinated by. First, he had this amazing accent because he was Greek, next he loved to tell people he was a Lesbian, because he had grown up on the island of Lesbos.
As a sidenote, I momentarily forgot about Tommy Lee Jones and this whole video til the last sentence thought you were referring to Tommy Lee, of Motley Crue or whatever. Changed the whole tone a little bit.
I have casually watched your videos for years based on recommendation by the machine, but I just subscribed. Please point me to the video of yours that you think will most blow my mind. Thank you.
Thanks for bringing forth this site to our attention. I wouldn't worry too much about the protection of the site, it will solve itself out if the site ever becomes more popular (some authority will take over for sure) and anyhow what matters the most is documenting and knowing about it. Intriguingly we know of Early Paleolithic tool remains in Crete, attributed to some sort of archaic human, at Plakias c. 130,000 years ago, but we also know of more modern settlement (also at Plakias) by our species c. 11,000 BP, which almost matches your claim of deers going extinct around that date. These findings are deemed "Mesolithic" (i.e. Epipaleolithic) and are also found in other islands of the Aegean, as well as in Cyprus (and separately I remember reading about Mesolithic settlement of Corsica too). I wouldn't like to read too much on your sketchy outline of the layering of the engravings but, assuming the lowest layer of deer drawings is c. 12-11,000 years old, the ship could well be already Neolithic (reaching Greece before 9000 BP, still without pottery... but definitely with sea capable ships, with which they would settle all southern Europe and then the Atlantic region in the following millennia, including all islands, bringing with them the whole Neolithic package of seeds and animals like sheep, goats and pigs, unsure about cows but maybe too). In any case thanks to you and very especially your wife and the keeper of the keys for bringing this rare site to public awareness.
6:21 - the drawings of deer and ships could be from different times. During the Younger Dryas period the coast line rose like ~100-120 meters. 7:29 - the Heisenberg principle in its simplest is observing something changes it.
