Absolutely love the “you don’t need to makeup a shadow government to be angry at, you can just be angry at the real government” because it basically summarises all of these crazy conspiracy people. Love this series keep it up!
Free after xkcd, it's much more fun to play conspiracy theories against each other: of course these petroglyphs are fake. The entirety of Australia is fake because the earth is flat. Do you think Australia was clinging upside down to the underside of the earth somehow?
Eh, it's pretty easy to be angry at one in the same. Because come on, it is pretty obvious that we have at least a couple unelected jackwagons with Tyrannical ambitions behind a few people in the government.
Unfortunately, being angry at the real government just doesn’t do it for some people. It doesn’t have the same ‘I figured it out, one of the clever ones, in the know.. 😏’ value that makes them feel special/smarter than everyone else.. So, shadow government it is, and that must mean the earth.. is a different shape for some reason..
Ex-crack house. He kicked the crack-heads out when he moved in. Only pot-heads are left. (you don't think those are squirrels making noises in his walls, do you?) 😅
Instead of being fancier his new set just makes him seem even more like an unhinged archaeologist trapped in a conspiracy theorists basement doing the only thing that can keep him sane
The quote "You don't need to make up an invisible shadow government to be mad at, you can just be mad at the actual government" has earned my highest respect. That probably doesn't mean a whole lot to you since I'm just some guy, but it means a lot to me because I now have a new avenue for content to enjoy.
its destroyed NOW , the council went and destroyed it due to the pressure from the aboriginal elders... they were threatening to destroy live on radio because it conflicts with their agenda being the first inhabitants... google gosford glyphs on google maps, youtube and reddit and look at the images/videos people uploaded while trying to visit the site during council construction... the relatives of the aborginal elders that own the land claim that is was a sign of "vandalism" and said they would destroy it live on national radio then a few weeks later the council apparently went there for their "regular rock testing" and it was determined the integrity of the rocks was decaying and they would collapse soon and one of the rocks has already fallen(after decades of being perfectly fine)... they blocked off the entrance and put up signs forbidding people to enter and threatened with $500,000AUD fines... the rock they were talking about that apparently "fell" looked like it was being smashed into with a jack hammer in different parts and at different depths... there is videos of people visiting the site on youtube during the councils construction they set up scaffolds used heavy equipment and heavy plant equipment to destroy it all... they then even went a step further to destroy the entire pathway there which is about a 5 minute walk... the council completed obliterated it and its just a massive pile of ruins now and they installed steel gates and barricades preventing anyone from getting to the pile of ruins 😂😂😂 unless youre small individual there is no way you can get there now... i'm 5'5 and was barely able to crawl and climb through and wouldnt do it again now because of how dangerous the council made it to there just to see a pile of smashed rocks. there's signs there now on the way there and at the big steel gate they installed saying the site is closed due to the collapsing rocks yet if you look at all the images and videos from people during the construction step by step they were actually destroying the entire site and they did this project during the one time of year people would be at home instead of out travelling through bushes... CHRISTMAS TIME HAHAHAHAHAHAHA MILO IS A FLOP!!!
They may be smoothed brain koalas, but their ability to skillfully carve out fake glyphs into solid rock with nothing but a eucalyptus leaf is quite impressive.
The big giveaway that these are fake are the cock and balls along with the Kilroy carvings, I wouldn’t be surprised if the nearby aboriginal carvings are fake as well.
Australian here! Can confirm that a Frozen Coke is more like a slushee. The reason they’re so popular over here is because Macca’s sells them year round for only a dollar. As far as I’m aware, the only reason they’re a permanent menu item here is due to how hot it can get in summer.
Not necessarily, new Zealander here (hey neighbour) and maccas, bk, and kfc all sell them year round here too, even down south and on the west coast where its pretty cold most of the year, leading me to the conclusion that they're a permanent fixture on the menu because they fuckin slap
@@Sergote12 Drop Bear claws are too long for tool use, and too soft to use against the rock. Most likely Yowies, tripping on DMT. Aliens gave them the recipe for it, and the MAO-inhibitor. The "Wee Folk" told me this. You know, right?... From The Philosopher's (urine) Stone. Puts you in touch with the other side... Deep State made Harry Potter just to cover that up. Ask Isaac Newton, he discovered it, and that's how he is still alive. Conservation of Momentum is a psy-op.
Fun Fact: Reinoud de Jonge (pronounced "Rye-nowt duh Yong-uh") is in fact Dutch, and apparently he studied in Leiden, which has a quite renowned faculty of archeology and an antiquities museum featuring an actual Egyptian temple (donated by the Egyptian government). If you're wondering what went wrong: the dude studied chemistry.
I’ve missed you. My dad somehow became a flat earther who falls for every awful archaeology conspiracy, and this channel helps me stay ahead of him (or at least helps me predict what he’ll fall for and what counter points I should know in advance). Thank you for everything you do and I’m glad you’re back!
Hey! If you’re interested in other channels that deal with debunking you might like: - Professor Dave, he has done a lot of videos on Flat Earth which might help you with your dad. And also, - Dan Olson aka Folding Ideas has a wonderful video on Flat Earth and the people who believe in it - Myles Power deals mainly with medical quackery as in miracle cures, diets and such - Jeff Holiday is a bit varied but he often goes after pseudo-gurus that give out harmful advice Hope you find something you like in there
Thank you milo, as an Australian this one really grinds my gear's because not far from this site are some exquisite indigenous cave paintings, ya know legitimate and important Australian archaeology that people ignore in lieu of a fantasy.
I was thinking that I hope the dickhole who made the carving wasn't doing it over actual indigenous art. Milo said that previous surveys "found nothing", so I hope "nothing" means nothing and not "not important enough to care about" nothing.
I've been trying to find out more about Australian archaeology since finding milos channel, so I started with a search on youtube to see if there were any local channels similar to Milo only to find out that the majority of videos that come up were conspiracy nonsense trying to tell me that aboriginal culture is made up by the white man and struggled to find anyone with a brain cell left. If anyone could help me out to find a sorce of legit scientific research happening that would be great
Just going to point out that, to reach the south coast of New South Wales, they would have to: A. sail directly across the Indian Ocean to Western Australia, then all the way around the south coast, leaving no trace of their passage and not bothering to settle down anywhere along Australia's fertile belt. B. sail south from the Torres Strait, which means traveling directly along the largest coral reef in the world (literally known as the "Great Barrier Reef"), and past several of Australia's largest and most inviting harbors. C. sail across from Argentina (?) or up from Antarctica (??)
Yeah that struck me as well. And right on the edge of a modern city, not in the remote west coast, odd. Anyway I’m getting myself a chisel and will make my very own forgeries, saying ‘Kilroy was here and ate burgers’.
You miss D The whole ship/fleet was transported by aliens. 😋 Which make sense as I still do not get why the carvings where on Ancient Aliens. Although my guess is that Ancient..... is a clever ploy to travel the world and have other people pay for it.
You fool! Clearly they used the super advanced light speed, space ships the aliens gave them to get from Egypt to Australia so one of them could die of a snake bite and then have it recorded in hieroglyphics that look like they were drawn by idiots but also being from completely different periods of Egyptian history!
A great return to completely unhinged form, Milo. And the ending really hit the Egyptian nail on the head; why make up shadow conspiracies and hidden agendas when the visible agenda already should infuriate you. Here's going we get to Nebraska sooner than the journey to Australia took.
I got into his channel back when this was his thing like 2 years ago so it's nostalgic to see. As a history anthro major I'm genuinely jealous he did what I always wanted to but never committed on haha, it's great motivation to just say fuck it and try to make videos on shit I love
Putting the 'glyphs' side-by-side with actual Hieroglyphs makes them look even more like a child's crayon scribbles, and that's an insult to children, sheesh. I'm so happy you're back with Awful Archaeology, Milo, and [*raises cup of cherry-pomegranate juice*] here's to many more fun videos! 😄
@@Nerdnumberone I had an archaeology professor once literally demonstrate how to make a stone flake, and pass around multiple pieces of sharpened granite and obsidian to the class. So needless to say, I may not be able to do it, but I think I know a guy.
Man, when the "if there was old english combined with text slang you'd tell there was something wrong" came up I was so hoping for an actual demonstration, and Milo did not disappoint. Next time on dragon ball z, he goes to the legendary land of "nebraska" to find a mythical "man"
The only part of that I found disappointed was that Shakespeare spoke and wrote in Early Modern English. Old English poetry is "Scealas wæron scearpe / scyl wæs hearpe / hlude hlynede / hleoþor dynede / sweglrad swinsade / swine ne minsade" But I can see how that might not work so great for the joke.
The butchered sonnet was my favorite gag in this video, actually sounded like something people would upload on its own. It just sounds really funny! XD
It's going to end up in some conspiracy theory that Shakespeare had a time machine and got his ideas by travelling into the future. And the gatekeeping mainstream scholars hide those real texts to stop duh peeple seeing the troof.
I live in the area and have been walking past these for 35 years. Even in that time the carvings have eroded quite substantially. The reason is that Sydney is made of sandstone. Not just any sandstone but very loose, very soft sandstone. It was easy to cut to make buildings by the early europeans/convicts because of this feature. Even inside houses where the stone is not affected by water erosion, you have to constantly vacuum up the shedding sand. These carvings will be illegible in another 50 years due to erosion. Just another little fact to try to lever forcefully into infantile minds.
Yes, but with constant visits and revisits by the Ancient Aliens who redraw the Egyptian Glifs, they have lasted 5,000 years and can last another 5,000. That's not strange, I visit the graves of my ancestors in Europe and ensure the markings and engravings are visible.
Huge fan of your channel in every way, but I'd also love to give props for the integrated subtitles! They're nice to read, actually follow what you're saying, and I don't have to worry about messing around with terrible autogenerated ones! Thanks so so much for thinking of this!
Old comment, but listen. My creative writing degree has been VERY valuable. Do you know how few people can express themselves effectively when writing?
Thing is, Milo does have qualifications. Specifically in his field of archaeology. If you're writing purely for writing, meaning your expertise in a subject isn't the point, then having training in writing IS useful.
To elaborate on Milo's point about not gatekeeping: for some fields of science, you need knowledge and experience. That is typically gained through formal education, but not necessarily. There are plenty of researchers who are "unconventionally" or "informally" trained, especially in my field. Milo's point (at least as I understand it) isn't that Australian Johnson isn't an Egyptologist because he lacks formal education, but rather because he's putting out nonsense instead of real research.
Please don’t stop doing these. As an Archaeology undergrad student spending so much personal time studying I sometimes get burnt out on the valid archaeological content, but these more light hearted videos revitalise my soul. Academic vigour boi
Milo, I can’t express how happy I am to see this video. Your Awful Archeology series is one of my favorites. I lost my mom on the 1st and seeing this posted today, on my birthday, did bring a bit of joy back into this day. Keep it up Milo, your happy energy is infectious
Another Australian here a small point they absolutely teach kids starting in primary school that chlamydia effect every koala colony on the mainland, also teach that feral cats are wiping out native species faster than climate change on afterburners.
I sat here watching this with the family and one of them piped up with, "you could make that!". Lol - now I just have to find a good remote stone wall and a battery powered dremel
Love your work Milo. As an Australian I can confidently tell you that casually disrespecting our country is the fastest way into our hearts. You're already half Australian lol
I just love how chaotic this is while also being so well researched and interesting to learn. it makes watching this a really unique experience that i don't think I've ever seen on any other channel or series ever. I missed the awful archaeology series and am happy to see it return, no matter how long the break. Once again, great job and can't wait for the next one!
when I was stuck in the hospital for two days with kidney stones and a dead phone, this episode of Ancient Aliens was the only thing remotely interesting on tv at 3 am and it pissed me off so much, but I couldn't look up the truth. Thank you for finally resolving this, Milo, even if it did bring up bad memories
This is like the time I copied out a birthday message in Tamil for my friend's mum, and she couldn't stop laughing because "it looked like it was written by a toddler"
When you played a clip of someone saying "two princes" and then immediately cut to the intro of Two Princes was one of my favorite RU-vid moments of all time. I felt so seen, so understood
Welcome to the joys of homeowner archeology! My house was built in 1916 and the mysteries of how decisions were made to make things function can be wonderful and nauseating at the same time.
I currently live in a house that was build in 1300 (yes, really) and some stuff is certainly interesting. Although some modern renovations probably didn't help :'D
Just so you know frozen cokes are a coke slushie 😂 they sell them at maccas here. If you want an more accessible aussie classic, try a "Spider" its basically what you would call a "Float" we usually have coke with vanilla icecream, but my dad would say that it was traditionally fanta and vanilla icecream. Ive actually experimented a bit with different combos and my favourite is actually strawberry icecream and creaming soda (a vanilla flavoured soft drink) very strawberries and cream 😁 the reason we call them spiders is because we put the icecream in first and the foam that causes looks like spider webs
Hey Milo, thank you for the built in captions! Just a couple of notes for the future (I'm not Deaf/HoH but I have audio processing issues). The big one I noticed is leaving out cusses in the captions. It might seem like nothing, but the key to captioning is to create as close to the same experience for those that hear your voice as those that don't as possible. That means including cussing as it's presented in the video (so if you censor, "[beep]" is fine, if you don't just write "fuck"). You also may want to consider adding a black outline to the text to make it easier to read on lighter backgrounds, and I'm not sure where this one falls for everyone, but having the captions in all caps is sometimes difficult to read. Again, super appreciate the care and effort to put in captions, just a couple of tips for accuracy and readability! Now to watch the actual content of the episode lol
I struggle with those lack of dark background on text too. I watch a lot of subtitled foreign dramas and subtitles that are "pretty" but illegible kill me and that text colour is too light for his glorious green wall.
I would add to this: don't put a white prop on the side of the desk the white captions will be over. Stronger outlines would also help, regardless of the background, but the background is still important.
ah yes. whenever I calculate stellar parallax or record painstaking observations of exoplanets, i try to do it just like the ancient Egyptian Australians used to do -- with a dremel and a cliff blocking my view of the stars
@@serenityphawx you see the stars' light blocks out the true nature of the cosmos, only through the filtering properties of a solid rock face can the true mysteries of the universe be discerned. It's like a barbecue, it tastes best if prepared at the bottom of a frozen lake.
There is the Sphinx Memorial in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, about 30Km south of the glyphs and was carved in the 1920's by a returned soldier. A lot of Australian soldiers (part of the ANZAC Corps) spent time in Egypt training before going off on the ill-fated Dardanells Campaign. It seems that the monuments of Ancient Egypt left quite an impression on many of them.
I miss the chalkboard. It was so freakin cool and made for a really nice aesthetic. I was kinda hoping you'd have some editing magic where you could have some text and graphics displayed in a chalkboard style since the board was gone, but alas no luck. I bet you if you had a grant written, you could get some funding for producing an educational series and pay for some top notch editing and aesthetic studio additions. Hell, History channel should be asking YOU to host a show.
The History Channel's actual shows about history are, well, history. TLC, when it was The Learning Channel, was a place you might actually learn something. Now, it's just exploitive bullshit. And A&E, once Arts and Entertainment, jumped the shark when Dog the Bounty Hunter showed up. Don't get me wrong, Court Cam is a hoot. But art, it is not.
Ironically the tinfoil hat wall yarn web aesthetic may actually help him reach the people who really need to hear this. There's some kind of neurological phenomena in which the less polished and well-crafted something looks the more it resonates as 'authentic' with people.
it's going to be a long process for him to turn the room into what he wants it to be but one day that chalkboard will return, perhaps when the walls are fixed and aren't on the verge of collapsing
If you really wanted the bit at 20:45 to be representative of what the hieroglyphs do, you probably should have gone with Beowulf in Old English transitioning into a modern pop song. Because that's a better representation of how far apart they are. The time difference is so great that the language being represented by the glyphs might not have even been the same language.
As somebody who recently stumbled into Milo's awful archeology shorts and then binge watched most of his videos within the past few months I'm pleased to have jumped in at the right timw
This really was a philosophical, asto-esoterical symbology that really was existential to the greater metaphysical creation of this enigmatic video. Well done. 👏👏👏
Has anyone figured out the hidden symbology that Milo inserted into this episode with the shape of the string on the conspiracy board? I'm pretty sure it's part of a message to his lizard overlords.
The algorithm decided to recommend your previous video yesterday, so I didn't have to wait 18 months before watching this one! nice drink too, ill go make one, but with unfrozen cc.
I’m actually really impressed by Milo’s absolutely nonchalant attitude after he lost the lime. I could not have been able to play it that cool. Granted, I’d probably have smacked myself in the face with it a few times by then and my leg don’t go that high, nor can I juggle to keep the attention of my fellow ADHD peeps on me 😂
How this man is not already signed up to a series of documentaries on Netflix or National Geographic is simply beyond my smooth Australian brain. Also, we do Shoey’s down here mate. I hope to see one in a future episode.
MAN did I miss this series! I woke up with a fever today in the freezing cold and when this came on my recommended I was elated. You didn't cure my illness, but you've made it bearable, Milo. Hell yeah
I’ve mostly been watching and not interacting but gotta tell you how much I love all your videos. My wife couldn’t believe I was watching a motorcycle trip travelogue (not my thing) but you make it so interesting and I love the discussion of geology, geography, and archaeology. Thanks!
I can't tell if the spots on the screen are on my actual phone or on Milo's wall and frankly that makes it so much better Chaotic Academia at its finest
Man, that frozen Maker's Mark and Coke really hit you like a truck, didn't it Milo? Ah well, it makes an already entertaining educational program into an even more entertaining educational program! Glad to see you back in familiar ground after so many awesome projects, my man!
Greeting from Australia (very much a different bit so no idea about the fake glyphs) but I can confirm a frozen coke is just a coca cola slushie 😅 and didn't realise this was a uniquely Australian thing. Love all of your various content forms, please keep them coming sustainably.
Oh we have coca cola slushies, it's just that they're not a majority fave. The faves that get gushed over are Mt Dew or Blue Razzberry from my experience. Lemonade is also the one that seems to be always empty when I pass by the machines. Also I have seen my cousins freeze coke or pepsi cans in their freezer.
Honestly this has inspired me to go to the south west U.S and in as correct and accurate hieroglyphics as I can manage carve on a random rock wall "Nothing is here moron" and see if it makes it onto a conspiracy theorist Tik Tok.
So at least on government owned land they cannot remove anything done by humans that is 50 years old or older. Some of the rock art sites I visited have been heavily vandalized (or added to, you could argue). My class was of course curious why the graffiti wasn't removed from the places that it could be like the carvings that didn't have any pigments and the ranger (I think that's what she introduced herself as, its been a few years) said that they are not allowed to remove anything that is older then 50 years which they figure out through testing the graphite from some of the marks they can get a rough idea of when the words were added.
There was a point @21:15 where a clip from Stargate would have been perfect: James Spader goes to the chalkboard and changes the translations, asking who made all these mistakes. 😊
5000 years ago, the Pharaoh was so ashamed of his dyslexic sons that he banished them to Australia and expunged their names from the historical record. All their servants, priests and scribes died on the journey, but they overcame their staggering disability and borderline illiteracy to tell their story…
A friend of mine once told me a story of how his school made a fake 'ghost haunting' video and put it online. This was all done by teenagers, and I think he would have been 14 at the time. It was a couple minutes of CCTV cameras filming doors and bags being pulled by strings at night, and was apparently pretty fun to make. Fast forward to 2020/2021. One night I happened to be clicking through a bunch of those obscure documentary channels that have weird shows about UFOs and bigfoot. I settled on a show about supposed 'real ghost footage', and lo-and-behold it was that same video from my friend's school. We had a good laugh, but it was also pretty disheartening to see how shamelessly that show was flaunting it as evidence of the supernatural.
i wish we could bottle that feeling and make conspiracy theorists drink it. i've often thought about similar scenarios and how the people who made a lot of the original videos would be like "um... yeah... lol... i was joking... what are they talking about"
I'm pretty sure I've seen that TV show and that episode. I was watching it like, "I'm about 99%* sure the students were fucking with the admin or something." I love those shows because it's hilarious how often I know exactly what's happening there and they just don't put anyone on camera who can Milo it. *That 1% is because I've seen some Weird Shit in person and I allow that sometimes other people see some Weird Shit too. But I don't take it as anything more than Weird Shit that defies ready explanation based on the available data and that's impossible to rigorously study, and is therefore not anything worth spinning my wheels over.
You should look up the Morristown UFO Hoax on YT. A couple of guys in NJ decided to pull off a UFO hoax by tying flares to weather balloons. They recorded everything. The news reports were great.
"but that did not stop Australian Johnson from taking out my appendix anyway" is a line we should have engraved onto the gold plate on the voyager for aliens to learn about us.

Ancient Egyptian princes getting lost in a storm on the Red Sea and ending up in Australia sounds like the introduction to a children's magic adventure book.
I’m just trying to imagine how these ancient Egyptians were supposed to have sailed to Australia, like what kind of route they’d have to have taken. Can’t imagine the Suez Canal existed at this point, so they would’ve had to have sailed across the Mediterranean, through the strait of Gibraltar, out into the Atlantic, down the coastlines of West Africa, and through the Cape of Good Hope at the southernmost tip of the African continent, where I imagine their ships sunk and they all drowned because the Cape of Good Hope is one of the most unpredictable and treacherous routes on the planet.
*this is a joke* They could have carried their boat east until they hit the Indian Ocean. Simple explanation with definitely no flaws in my logic lol jk
I'm not saying by any stretch of the imagination that this took place. Saying that, to answer your question, no Suez Canal didn't exist back then, but there was a port on the Red Sea known as Berenike. Bear in mind the western shore of the Red Sea is actually Egypt. Berenike was such an important port that it was adopted by the Romans. I'm sure this was one of many ports on the western shore of the Red Sea.
He totally nailed the aussie tradition of forgetting you left a can of coke in the freezer, having it explode when you open it, and resorting to extraction with a can opener.
i've learned thru cleaning the freezer over and over (takes a while for these things to get thru to my pea brain sometimes) to set an alarm on my watch. even that doesn't work if i'm busy and think "oh yeah, i gotta take that can out, prob needs a few more minutes anyway" and then i find myself cleaning out the freezer again
I'm an archaeology student from australia, and i did three courses on egyptian hieroglyphs. we talked about the gosford glyphs as a little case study to train our eye in hieroglyphs and point out inaccuracies. this was really early in the first course as well, our professor used it as a way to show us that we knew more than we thought we did about hieroglyphs. i distinctly remember our class going absolutely wild doing some cursory research on the glyphs, we were just shouting about how insane it was. wonderful experience to do it with a professor who has been studying and teaching hieroglyphs for like 20+ years i won't lie
was this with Andrew Jamieson by any chance? I never did Hieroglyphics but I had him for Ancient Egypt subjects / other archaeology subjects and he remains one of my favourite professors
That's exactly what I was thinking too, there's plenty of mistakes that are so easy that they should be entirely obvious to introductory class students :D Like the inconsistent writing direction and awful placement of the symbols, ooooof. Not to mention the modern stick figure for a human and something that looks like an fn snowman lol
milo is only referencing ancient aliens and apparent egyptian experts that studied egyptology at a western world university in their own country lmao he makes no reference to UNCHARTEDX's investigation into this where he went to actual EGYPT and showed the images to ACTUAL ANCIENT EGYPT EXPERTS BORN AND RAISED IN EGYPT 😂😂😂😂 and by the way its destroyed NOW , the council went and destroyed it due to the pressure from the aboriginal elders... they were threatening to destroy live on radio because it conflicts with their agenda being the first inhabitants... google gosford glyphs on google maps, youtube and reddit and look at the images/videos people uploaded while trying to visit the site during council construction... the relatives of the aborginal elders that own the land claim that is was a sign of "vandalism" and said they would destroy it live on national radio then a few weeks later the council apparently went there for their "regular rock testing" and it was determined the integrity of the rocks was decaying and they would collapse soon and one of the rocks has already fallen(after decades of being perfectly fine)... they blocked off the entrance and put up signs forbidding people to enter and threatened with $500,000AUD fines... the rock they were talking about that apparently "fell" looked like it was being smashed into with a jack hammer in different parts and at different depths... there is videos of people visiting the site on youtube during the councils construction they set up scaffolds used heavy equipment and heavy plant equipment to destroy it all... they then even went a step further to destroy the entire pathway there which is about a 5 minute walk... the council completed obliterated it and its just a massive pile of ruins now and they installed steel gates and barricades preventing anyone from getting to the pile of ruins 😂😂😂 unless youre small individual there is no way you can get there now... i'm 5'5 and was barely able to crawl and climb through and wouldnt do it again now because of how dangerous the council made it to there just to see a pile of smashed rocks. there's signs there now on the way there and at the big steel gate they installed saying the site is closed due to the collapsing rocks yet if you look at all the images and videos from people during the construction step by step they were actually destroying the entire site and they did this project during the one time of year people would be at home instead of out travelling through bushes... CHRISTMAS TIME HAHAHAHAHAHAHA MILO IS A FLOP!!!
So if the glyphs are crude or contain typos it must mean they're fake? If people want to say they're fake then fine. What would I know. Though I think it's rather silly that some have the mentality that the same people smart enough to build the pyramids are not smart enough to sail the seas.
I’m in my late 40s and hate how older people bash young people. I’m really impressed with a lot of the young people I see including this channel. Science and astronomy are more popular now than they’ve ever been in my lifetime which is a good sign. My parents generation valued profits over the advancement of the human species. Sure there are some dopey kids but there are dopes in every generation and age bracket. Keep up the good work!!!
It's confirmation bias, I think. If I think selfies are dumb, I'm way more likely to notice all the people taking selfies and miss the people who aren't. So I think older people tend to see a lot of the behavior they think is dopey and add it to the list, but don't consider the opposite
@Alkeeros Just like the comment above, which says that his parents' generation (Boomers) valued profit above human advancement and ignores the ones who weren't and aren't that way. Personally, I take much more joy in giving to others than feathering my nest.
Milo’s being held captive. He learned too much on his cross-country trip, and now he’s trying to tell us the truth, but the squirrels can’t have that. They have their secrets to keep.
If you're suggesting that grey squirrels work for 'Big Archaeology' by doing all they can to discourage people from discovering The Truth - I'd believe it.
"I wish, I was a little bit taller, I wish, I was a baller" part, by Skee-Lo, seamlessly smacked right into Shakespeare's poem, literally made me spit my coffee out. 😂
I have Skee-Lo on my casual playlist, so having that come up on my side monitor as I'm trying to do work training at home cracked me up. Remember, if work makes you do training at home, play Awful Archeology on the side. Makes it fly by, and you get paid to listen to Milo.
It’s amazing how a pranksters with a hammer, chisels, and a couple of books on hieroglyphics can bring all of the tinfoil hat freaks out of the woodwork
The carvings were reportedly carved with a Dremel, which is even dumber. At least if they used non-electrical tools for carving the glyphs, it might look more real
Australian Aboriginal people have a bunch of fairly detailed oral histories, about specific events. If this had actually happened they probably would have some memory of it.
I feel like I'd be a really funny story "Oh yeah one day a couple of weird people showed up in a boat, the guys there spoke really weird and started to draw in the walls with chisels for some reason, then one of them died and the rest followed suit... weird"
Indigenous Australians navigated across the entire continent using songlines - literally songs that were maps preserved in oral form. The Maori accurately dated their arrival in Aotearoa to circa 1200 CE solely through oral tradition before settler colonialist archaeologists confirmed the date. And there are _so many_ other examples of Indigenous people in the Americas and Oceania having detailed oral histories that are proven correct time and time again. If the dynastic Egyptians had landed in Australia a mere 5,000 years ago, when Indigenous Australians have oral histories that appear to describe animals that went extinct circa 50,000 years ago, they _absolutely_ would have cultural memory such an event.
the one problem with this is, as always, massacre. some groups were brought down to one or zero people, so it's possible that the stories about the Egyptians were lost. That being said, i'm pretty sure their neighbours would probably be taking notes if the story was "THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THE OCEAN BUT THEY DIED"
One of my old boomer coworkers tried to tell me about how real he thought these were, that they completely changed the official history of human civilization. If only people actually tried reading things, instead of believing everything they see on the internet.
@@madtabby66exactly, it’s not like it was an established trade route, it was some dudes that got shipwrecked. At the very most they might have introduced the local aborigine tribe to Egyptian culture
Precisely. Some king, probably insane, decided to travel the world and got shipwrecked. This doesn't change human history if it were to have happened. It's a cool story, but....@@madtabby66
The mental image of a group of archeologists in a dirty, Fight Club-inspired basement covered in blood and dust, fighting to the last man over who gets to be in the latest "Aliens Exist And Founded Pompeii" paper is funny enough to me to forever be head canon
I’m from here! It’s pretty widely known in the area that the glyphs are fake, and the entire rock face is littered with modern day carving because of it. I’m pretty sure they recently took down the boulders too, so you can’t see them any more. There’s also some legitimate ~200 year old indigenous carvings nearby, and you can really see the difference in an old carving vs new. The rocks themselves erode quickly, so anything thousands of years old likely no longer even exists.
You’ve inspired me, I’m going to start a club, create my own completely meaningless hieroglyphs, and start carving them around the world to fuck with future archaeologists.
I started watching this series when I was pregnant with my first. And then I gave birth, she's now 1,5 years old and start preschool tomorrow. A human learned how to walk, talk and climb in between episodes.
There's a helluva lot of Aboriginal Rock Art, all the way from Lane Cove, Mosman (yes, that $$$ Mosman, on the lower North Shore of $ydney Harbor) all the way up to Mt Ku-ring -gia National Park, all the way up through Hornsby and the Hawksbury River and yes, then on up to Gosford and a little further. But if I hear about one or any crew of f-kn Wombats trying to make out some sort of "definite connection with ancient Egyptian Hyraglyphics, so help me God I will kick your guts in!! And if you want me, come on down to Redfern in Sydney and find me!!
Nah, I think this one was a bit too easy for Milo. With the guy arrested for adding new ones and witnesses to how more and more was added, I don't think even Graham Hancock would buy this. There are plenty of a bit more believable fakes or misinterpretations take could use an episode. Frankly are the ones where people either purposely or by mistake think a real artifact is something else way more interesting then obvious fakes. We also have some cases when it is possible a lot of fakes actually makes us write off something real, or might at least. Heard of the Hope stones? A dude found a stone that seems to have been written by one of the Roanoke settlers. He then did the stupid idea of offering money for anyone finding more. So this stone mason found like 30 of them over the next 2 years and they are fake like a 3 dollar bill. But the original stone is actually using the correct language of the time unlike all the later ones, so it might actually be genuine. Yeah, it could also a be a planted fake, that is rather likely but it isn't implausible it is real and no one really checked it that close die to the large amount of fakes which is awful archaeology. I can bet you that if you offered a high cash price for finding other sites with hieroglyphs in Australia, we would rather soon have them all over the place. F***, if it wasn't basically as far away from where I live as possible on the globe I would go there myself and make some if the price was good enough, if someone stupid want to give me lots of money I wouldn't mind (but I would be careful so I wouldn't do them near any real petroglyphs, taking money from idiots is one thing, destroying peoples cultural heritage is a different).
"You don't need any qualifications to write a book!" has the same energy as my classmates in seminary saying "literacy is optional for a master’s degree"
