10 Incredible Things Mankind Has Managed To Lose 

Which lost movie would you say is the most devistating?

I was about to write the Library of Alexandria too, but i didnt know greek fire is also lost, i thought its still a thing o.O

RedBaron223 Don't forget Alexander The Great's tomb and the Hanging Gardens Of Babylon

RedBaron223 yeah! While watching the video i was sure greek fire was gonna be on the list but it wasnt 😔

RedBaron223 also the library of timbuktu we lost that shit too lol

RedBaron223 Technically it wasn't lost but destroyed by fire...so we know what happened to it.

Exactly!!! 😁

Michael Doran I was kinda thinking of humanity...common sense absolutely.

Silphaer they could be needed

Colton Michalsky they're not needed if no one has them

Silphaer this made me laugh and cry at the same time

Only one.... but the Soviets are said to have lost 5-10 Suitcase bombs, the most portable ones, during the collapse. No one knows where they went...they were designed to be smuggled in, put in place somewhere and had a long term timer to explode long after the bomber left them there so there was time to get out of the blast radius or the country...

Thought the same

That's not funny.

It is pretty funny

I'm offended 🤣

ZenRhinoMMA yes!!!!

I mean we didn't really 'lose' it. It was burnt down. We 100% know what happened to it. These are items that have just... vanished.

I remember that, as the guy above me said it was all set on fire.

Then Greek Fire(apparently that's how it's called in English here we call it Liquid Fire...you learn something new every day!)

What if it never actually existed in the first place?

Cameron Rowe the library wasn't lost though...it was burned and deliberately destroyed.

Shannon Rochon the amber room was deliberately looted?? I don't think the list means it was literally lost like some keys, i think it's just some #ShitMankindManagesToLoseForWankers

But chances are what was looted (i.e. the complete content of the room including all the wall covering) still exists - somewhere. It wasn't deliberately wiped out of existence. That is what is "lost" as in "can be found again, hidden", whereas the library of Alexandria and all its contents were completely destroyed, i.e. "lost" as in "completely destroyed, dead, not hidden"

Daaria Naharis that makes sense. I see where you're coming from. He just said "we humans have ruined our artifacts" right at the beginning and I thought wow that sounds like the library of Alexandria to me. I realized the rest of the video does makes it seem as if lost means it is somewhere hidden, upon viewing it a second time.

It’s in Axum.

Stephen Barrett yup. Right there in old Abyssinia for the taking of you’re feeling chipper some morning

Yes of course, let’s talk about imaginary things.

Dan J 40’s it killed a bunch of Nazis.

Cooper Edwards that’s in an American warehouse 🤪

Don't forget Avery's treasure and how the... pretty much... blew .... up ... that... ship...

GanonCanon god damn

GanonCanon Millions? lmao

I'm dead XD

Losing some myself right now!!1

GanonCanon you mean billions?

Dillon Qaphsiel I think some part of your statement is written incorrectly. I could be wrong but maybe you should reread it and check?

They taped over the moon landing with the bill cosby show, boy do they regret that now.

There were also some shows, and episodes of shows, that were precursors to Monty Python (like Not Only But Also and At Last The 1948 Show) that were wiped by the BBC :(

Yet my father has a cricket game from about 30 years ago on VHS because he figures it was kinda noteworthy. (sighs) I don't know. I somewhat like the idea of culture that meant to exist in a moment, then disappear. You could remake a film every 10 years knowing that people wouldn't remember the original enough to give you trouble. You'd be able to be judged for your decisions in isolation not in terms of worshipful reverence to the original (or being intimidated into conservatism). The meaning of a work would fluctuate as it was remade for the concerns of each decade. The problem with a great film or tv show, is that you can't feel it anew. As to the moonlanding, the solution is to have humans land on mars. It seems sad we never outdid the wonder or significance sometime in the last few decades. the loss of the footage would be less profound if it wasn't the pinnacle of human accomplishment. But we haven't churned out something with the import of a new moonlanding.

@Victor Cates Wow, those are all really bad ideas based on nihilism and neophilia. A bizarre backwards notion that you can only enjoy something once. It's like the mentality of a child that only plays with a toy for 5 minutes, gets bored of it and demands a new toy.

R.I.P. Half-Life 3

i think humanity was not ready for such greatness tbh

Except they released the story just yesterday

The way they milk franchises to death these days and play keep away with dlc I think its best they just let that one be. ...RIP Lamarr

You can't lose something that never existed in the first place.

Neil Dube No remember, they stated that and I'm paraphrasing here "The legion was never really lost, they've always been right here."

I think he was talking about the episodes of Doctor Who that were lost by the Beeb taping over them. Although it is kind of funny that someone would mention the lost Doctor Who episodes on a video featuring that lost Roman Legion, which Doctor Who did a recent episode on :)

After all the things mentioned in the video, the doctor who episodes are the only thing i am mourning

Lost in much the same manner as the original moon landing tapes.

Neil Dube good

Yes it is lost but not in the sense that you don't know what happened to it or where it is gone.

....maybe that's for a different one...not perhaps lost, more like destroyed by Morons.

So sickening what they have destroyed. I remember watching them bomb ancient cities and another place on the news, and I literally got nauseous.

Philipp Schwartzerdt yeah

Jennie Kelly yeah

Abbey ~ lol

I was just about to ask that. Its not like its difficult to find a picture of an A-4.

Hopefully it is difficult to find pictures of them falling off of ships.

omg you know your planes.cool..

I was thinking the same thing... besides the F/A-18 is launching off, not "falling" off, in that photo anyway.

aaa ugh same!

aaa ugh miss that :(

thank god it's gone, it was so annoying, hope it never comes back :D

Soon my friend, Soon

The hashtag thing is done, thank god. Let it go.

D there's still good people in the world

Wow don't cut yourself on that edge

Humility*

Yeah, when, exactly did we have those characteristics? When slavery was common around the world, when stealing food was a crime punishable by death, when no one ever heard of social security, when executions were entertainment, when lynchings happened regularly and the authorities didn't even want to stop them, when women were property throughout the entire world? We are living in the most peaceful and civilized (in terms of human rights) era in history. The "good ol' days" myth has to die. People use it as an excuse to undo progress.

Jean the Second You clearly haven't been paying attention to current events.

Ghastly Grinner there'd be even more peace if we didn't have them at all. Although we'd still be fighting wars

controversial opinions I need to google that jet :o

I'm sure there's a server in China that has a copy.

They could just look at the part they have and reproduce it.

controversial opinions couldn't they just disarm one of those jets and see what's inside? I'm not an engineer nor could I ever understand a machinery like that but, maybe they could try it out?

Draco Padilla lol wasn't that a Lockheed Martin fiasco?

North Korea disagrees.

Imagine how many wars would've started if there wasn't a big threat that the opposing team could just drop a bomb to vanish your country of the map. Nuclear bombs are the best prevention against wars.

That assumes every national leader is sane and knows when to back down rather than start WW III. But if everyone is sane, then the one insane man has power... But there are a hell of a lot more than one nut in charge on earth now.

+Mike D that's utterly moronic. Nuclear heads may, arguably, simply prevent nuclear wars. Wars are about money and power, each of the wars ever started was, and that's a fact of sociology and history. Irradiating a place you intend to conquer, and thus making it useless and dangerous is... not something any rational creature would do. And they can't be used for defense, because like 10 countries spread across the globe have them. If one uses it, another will surely reciprocate, even if not involved directly to stop the previous from using more. At that point the globe would be that much saturated with radiation, that it would be a begging of a relatively long, agonizing eradication of 95% of life on the Earth. Humans would go down quite swiftly. In a matter of a few centuries most likely. They are a mistake. And since people aren't willing to launch them into space and never create another, they're simply there and the elusive glassy safety from them being used consists in you having some too. As explained this is just "better than nothing" but it's far from a real safety, and in fact contributes to the ever rising threat of the radiation.

Mike D just play fallout 4

Blue Bunny yes but it was destroyed. Possibly deliberately. This list is about things that were stolen or simply lost but could still exist somewhere we know what happened to the library

We did also find the ones we lost in the Mediterranean after like 20 years

Too soon, man, too soon. Lmao

You mean there are other countries ?

Yeah

Harry Potter killed Voldemort thats bad.

On youtube too much squad where you at

baknish here bro

purple headed hedgehog my house

Reading literate comments.

TISQUESUSA it sucks religion is mostly the reason why there's wars. I'm raised catholic but I am disgusted by how humanity treats it

TheGaminator if only we could all be respectful of others

TISQUESUSA if you hate it don't mention it or you will start a comment war

I'm Catholic. Never been in a fight. Never used it against anyone. Grow up.

We've lost a tone of religion, so many different beliefs dead and gone, people will find new ones eventually.

greatest film of all time
