Been following your work for 8-10 years now - never commented but thank you for all the obscure info and interesting rabbit holes. I appreciate you.

Been a fan of #Dark5 since the beginning when it was text! Im glad the channel has had the growth and success it has had, and hope it continues. Quality has continued to grow as well!

Gotta love the fact that, the most effective weapons in history are still just bonking someone on the head with a stick. 😂

Do not change the intro music or there will be resonance cascade of bad karma.

Going back to some of these time periods would be the stuff of nightmares.

Why is there a picture of a samurai when talking about the one Aztec sword?

I think you’re correct from what I’ve learned as a history buff. Helmets were rare in the early middle ages because they were expensive and required skilled artisans to make. Axes/spears/shields are relatively easy to make and resemble farming tools and other things that artisan could already make. The helmet was made only for war and thus less people knew how to make it and they were extremely expensive. This is the same for swords. Most warriors had a shield, a spear and a dagger/axe. Most of them wore just cloth tunics. Mail armor was also expensive and rare. Only professional soldiers and wealthy nobles had the full kit.

Macuahuitls were fearsome indeed, but the Spanish noted that they would shatter if struck against a steel sword or shield.

For someone that rarely does ads, you make excellent points on why it's good to get a VPN besides to usual reasons of privacy!

The Macuahuitl....They're not shards they're flaked biface obsidian teeth. An interesting melee weapon to make. Similar in many ways to some traditional Hawaiian shark tooth weapons.

Great to see the channel growing and gaining traction still... love the various levels of 'blow up' and I think this is a Dark channel that can stick around for quite a while providing fact and intrigue 🎉🎉🎉

Alright! I friggin love these "Dark" channels man. He really does an amazing job 👍🏻👍🏻

You should go on tour Put a pole up for prominent locations and then go to three venues

Great job on this video.

Definitely need a part 2 brother! 👍😝✌️ Boss content & Narrative as always!! 💯 Archery & slingshots.

Thought Vikings fought with just hardened leather helmets, but don’t recall where I read that.

I'd like a video on Aztec Death Whistle.

❤🙏 love the channel!

I had no idea there were no Aztec weapons in existence O_O That's strange to think about. Imagine there just being no more classic broadswords or no more historic katanas.

What a great way to start my day!!

Man that 5 second music loop got these people beside themselves

Thanks, Dark5 Ancient Mysteries.

Yeah its long past time I made a comment stating my appreciation of the years interesting,educational,content provided here.

what is that picture from? the armor depicted there is distinctly samurai armor but its got a Macuahuitl

Bury me deep, so my bones don't become the playthings of dogs and pigs. Take my sword and my shield, so they might fight again! Speak my name only this once, so the God of War can know me. Tell my family that I died well. Bury me deep, so the birds of war cannot own my eyes. Leave me naked in the earth, like when I was born. Let me live again in the trees and the grass and the worms. Know I danced to my end. Let my foe lie where he fell. Let him be forgotten. Cast no tear for him. Let him stink in the sun. Bury me deep, next to my brothers and sons. Let my people live free. Long will I be gone, my moment short and precious, and I gave it with all my heart. Tomorrow will dawn a new day, one I made better with all I was. I go now, the table in the great Hall awaits and I will drink with my Fathers forever.

WTF is with so many historical artifacts being destroyed by fire!? It’s like keep the shit stored in stone walled rooms and don’t leave burning candles laying around.

One helmet you forgot to mention, is that of the "Sutton Hoo", which lies along a bank of the tidal estuary of the River Deben. On the opposite bank the harbour town of Woodbridge stands 7 miles (11 km) from the North Sea. It's listed as being "Anglo Saxon" but there is no way this claim is true.

Impressive. How did y'all get the That Was Epic dude to do the commentary in his Batman voice like that?

A video about different historical findings that break the "status quo" and are unexplainable without changing ALOT of "accepted" history

I am SO hooked on D5 ‼️‼️‼️👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

The genetic thing was interesting. Not enough crozamomes equals means that the Guinness cans couldn't breed no more. Sad.

I find it hard to believe that a martial culture like the Vikings would rarely have worn helmets. Throughout history, a helmet was usually the first piece of armor a warrior acquired. Our ancestors were just as smart as we are and would certainly have noticed the lethality of head wounds. I think it's more likely that for reasons we don't currently know, helmets were reused until no longer serviceable and then the metal was recycled for something else. It is a bit odd, though, that other items of armor apparently weren't treated in the same manner.

Good for you getting paid for your content. Very few channels I'll watch the ad's in short of. This is one of them. Y ask Y?😮

Saucy stuff 👍🏻

IT SEEMS LIKE FIRE ALLWAYS IS THE FINAL ANSWER TO ALL TIMES WE FIND

From what I have read during the Bronze Age collapse, the Sea People killed all the men.

Leaving aside that the entire point of meso-american inter-state combat was the taking of captives for ransom or sacrifice to Kukulkán. The idea was to brain or incapacitate a man, not hack him to bits.

Gash, this is the one and only channel I need to set the speed at 0,75x bc the speed he is talking.😅 otherwise I need to go to the bathroom and 💩 bc the stress. I like the content so don’t say I don’t need to watch.

One clash between good 'ol European steel and simple wood and obsidian and that prehistoric weapon would be smashed. Same against steel armor.

How was the arrowhead even created from a meteorite, that long ago??

That Mayan suit of armor looks like samurai armor?

Interesting piece on the collapse of the Y chromosome. I had never heard that before, or even given it any consideration but it certainly makes sense. Human beings have never been so good at anything as they have been at killing other human beings. We just can't seem to get past that and it kind of makes one wonder where we might be as a species if we only could get past it.

3:55 you pronounced that pretty good!

There are things in this world that the government will never let us know. Cryptids bigfoots aliens etc…

Things I learnt from this video today: Netflix has a ban against VPNs and proxy servers.

I'm still trying to find the original Everlasting Gobstopper🍬

How are they unexplained ancient artifacts. But you clearly explained each one.

Very interesting theory. I have another one that fits with your theory that male clan members remained within the clan. Not discounting that there were disputes, banishments, explorers and adventurers drawing clan members away from their core origins, as has occurred throughout history. Two events that occurred within the time period mentioned in your video above 7,000 to 5,000 years ago. 1. Ramayana, relating to Lord Rama occurred around 7,000 years ago and 2. Mahabharata around 5,000 relating to Lord Krishna years ago both in India. The latter is also part of the Bhagavat Gita (Indian Holy Bible). Both these events were basically about major wars that started and mainly occurred in and around India, whose boundaries extended much further than they do now. West to Syria, North to Tibet, and Southeast Asia. The interesting point here is the descriptions given in these texts, as well as some recently discovered geo and archeological evidence shows that nuclear weapons had been used. The weapons described as vaporizing an army on the move and causing a river to boil. The only weapon that can do that now is a nuclear weapon. The other is rock turning into glassy substance over a wide area. The fallout could cause the overall birth rate to reduce significantly, as it effects females more than males. Results from nuclear fallout tests to exposed local populations available online. Another theory is that as the majority of males died out during this conflict. Times would hard for survival post conflict. What are the birth defects in nuclear testing? The most common defects seen at birth were anencephaly, cleft palate, cleft lip with or without cleft palate, club foot, polydactyly (additional finger or toe), and syndactyly (fusion of two or more fingers or toes). Perhaps this is why India has the highest prevalence of the above birth defects. That's another topic. What would be interesting is, if any of the bones dug out from the bog had any of these defects. Currently 1 in 700? Perhaps it was higher back then? I can't wait to hear.

17 women for each male? Shie I was born in the wrong time loljk

"don't bring a macuahuitl to a musket fight" Cortez

17 women to every man sounds grand to me.

DROPPIN LOADS

awesome

They chromosome collapse happened a little under 6,000 years ago. This was when nearly all men had the same grandfather. His name was Noah.

I'm guessing the absence of Viking helmets is because they didn't lose them in battle but simply wore them home.

Well the Vikings used to put warriors in boat and and burn them in the sea after they died

"Intrigued and Appalled" 1981 punk band from New Jersey.

It was personal.

8:48 finally puts an end to the argument and confusion over what a woman is 😂

Historically 13 years old was the norm for troops to do battle even currently in Africa there’s large child forces that fight and historically men got married at 16 so 13/14 not a odd age to be a killer

The Y Chromosome Collapse still exists, lurking, waiting for the next great catastrophe...current low birth rates have made this possible.

Regular Vikings may have worn a helmet with cris crossed iron bands and boiled leather plates; better than nothing and would not have lasted in a grave.

Vikings still existed in 1884?

The Y chromosome is shrinking in all mammals, it isn’t just humans.

Doesn't this sound like what lizard people want you to believe,

Good vid. That Y chromosome bottle neck? Its happeming again. Just a much larger scale.

LOTTTA LOADS BEING DROPPED IN THIS ONE

Express VPN! Hook it to my veins!!!

According to the new earth lady…

Sounds like Tom green

6:16 the Aztecs are still mentally hinged as the Spanish conquistadors

07:30 Eh Up ! 😆👍🏻

9:53 Jeese 😬 The women must of gone out hunting men for mating rituals ! 😅

Captions not working 👺

👍🏽🔥

Denmark gets mentioned in a Dark5 video, what a great day, but your pronunciation of Alken is bad.

as young a 13 ...your were a man in those day and very old at 30 yrs ols just saying

The mysterious is all that's left that entertains me nowadays. Comedy? Sucks. Dramas? Dead horse syndrome. Sports? Bread and circuses aren't for me. News? I'll form my own opinions. With the mysterious, I am allowed to think. What, where, how,who???? I can wonder...

Let them rest.

Ooops dang chromosome science again hahaha

17 women to each man eh? Sounds fun until you realize that odds are you would not be that one man. You would be dead. Lol

Aztec fire brought the "makwa-wheatole" back home to its ancestors. 😂🎉

The government of the German Third Reich did not engage in "treasure hunting". The government created the Kunst Korps which protected significant art treasures from throughout Europe from aerial bombing and artillery attacks by hiding them in salt mines underground. I met a veteran of the Kunst Korps while on holiday in Leningrad in 1990. Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring had some of these protected art pieces on display in his home in the German Alps but never considered them as his property. During the Weimar period, many Germans were forced to sell their art collections at rock-bottom prices to wealthy Jews, who were in the process of economically ravaging Germany and stealing the wealth of the citizenry. The Third Reich passed a law to confiscate these works of art with the goal of returning them to their original owners, and if they could not be identified or located, to make these works the property of the State, to be displayed in museums and other public places. If you consider yourself to be a serious historian, you will investigate this matter further, consulting authentic German language sources from 1933 to 1945 instead of Allied propaganda and Jewish fables.

A meteorite arrow head??? Do you want JoJo's bizarre adventure? Because that's how you get JoJo's bizarre adventure!!!

BABA BOOEY BABA BOOEY BABA BOOEY

Your content is a smoke screen for pimping the vpn product. It’s off putting and disingenuous.

Honestly the videos worked better with text

Now I know how we got Trump (a y-chromosome collapse)!

Henry bluetooth

embedded ad... nope. unsubscribed

WHEN THERE FINDIMGOUT ABOUT A PEOPLE OF A TIME THEY KNOW NPTHING ABOUT HOW VAN THEY SAY THEY NOW WHT THEY DID THINGS ITS A BUNCH OF OPINIONS AT BEST THATS THE PROBLEM WE THINKWE KNOW IT ALL

the Y chromo is disappearing..... and the right wing is actually not even aware that it actually it.....

Music name from the first story? Please.

the chromosome thing could be women going crazy and killing off men in some sort of revolt. I am sure they had a hard fucking life as most did back then . maybe women were enslaved and revolted. burned everything down and that's why we have no records . to erase the trauma. this could be a really cool movie.
