This is like an entire textbook on Near Eastern Prehistory. Many books are very old and so much is interpreted differently now. Thank you OI for your generosity in making these masterful lectures available to the public.

My Persian grandfather rehabed ancient qanats near Isfahan in the 1920's and 30's with tremendous success and eventually was the source of the Shahin Shahir project in early 1970's

@ajones3038 3 года назад

Was the project in the 70s a governmental or private endeavor? Do you know what "Sherkat Omran Shahin Shahr" is, is that the name of the company?

@@_B_B. was it a joint stock company? I read in the wiki it got a loan for the project, couldn't tell if it was a loan from a private or public source of loan

@@ajones3038 No this was family owned enterprise that generously donated thousands of acres of farmland for this project as goodwill collateral for contractual agreements with reenumeration in arrears. Revolution ended those agreements and everything was forcefully seized under the auspices of Bonyad-e Mostazafan.

Burning the stubble will make it easier to plow the field. Leaving the straw in the field will cause problems even for tractor plowing.

I enjoy the Bronze Age. This is a wonder presentation & visual aids. Fantastic info with inter-related behaviors & actions showing a dynamic culture. I wonder it there would be a compare & contrast of: mid-east, China, & Celtic Europe bronze age art & culture & technology ???

Sheep stop producing good quality wool when they are around eight. Rams might be kept around because they produce high strength wool. Not sure if that applies to castrated rams.

Domestication and settlement were the irreversible Faustian bargain that condemned humanity to civilisation.

@moodist1er 2 года назад

Violent authority and indoctrination are what condemned society into subjugated domestication.

The only Secure source of water is canal agriculture And it’s also scalable, with enough capital investment executive organization will then yields be maximized, and limitless real estate for agriculture within a flat terrain, such as southern Sumer and the banks of the Nile. The Immense Surplus within these ancient mixed agricultural societies open the doors for trade which required logistics and the new technology of the acquired materials from distant lands, shaped the culture or magnified it.

If you over lay the rain maps on Kurdistan. It’s an exact match. From Toros mountains to Zagros mountains is where Kurdistan is. The dry farming emerged. Which we are discovering now with the discoveries of Karahan Tepe and Gobekli Tepe.

5:19 10,000 years is 1% of 1,000,000 years, so that can't be right. If humans are 250,000 years old, then they lived for 96% as hunter-gatherers.

@paul6925 3 года назад

Why is that wrong? Your math might not be exact but humans have spent most of history as hunter gatherers through multiple ice ages

@yaceya 3 года назад

Try to listen again: "humans and human ancestors lived by hunting...". Of course, you can say that there were gatherers more than one million years ago, but it would just move the number from 99% to more than 99%. Also, anyone who works with human archeology would say that it is a somewhat arbitrary decision where to put a line: anatomically modern humans are closer to 100 thousand years, but the moment when brain started it's rapid growth is a few million years. At some point in between humans started to speak and use tools to produce other tools. Each of these points can be argued as a turning point when you can really start talking about homo becoming a sapient specie. In short, it is a bit pointless to obsess about 250,000 years. You can think of it as a point estimate with quite a large error on a log scale. I.e. you can easily multiply or divide by 2-3 and be within a reasonable range.
