How much of human history is on the bottom of the ocean? - Peter Campbell 

A bit sad to think that our generation will leave behind historical plastic bags

the ocean is like your evil neighbors back yard, once you lose something over there you may never retrieve it, and you have to make a whole expedition just to see it once more

DID YOU KNOW that there is more planes in the ocean than submarines in air?

2:33 That ship had a *really* bad day.

Nowadays it is more likely to find trash than history :(

*centuries from now* "it appears that our ancestors used and disposed of so much plastic that caused the extinction of many species that could've been still alive today"

We know more about the moon than our own oceans.

The history of mankind is fascinating

4:14 That's a pretty optimistic portrayal of the wreck of the Titanic.

This is a science/information based channel. Please use the scientific measurements system. Thank you!

I appreciate how vikings don't have horns in this video. BECAUSE THEY DONT HAVE HORNS IN THE FIRST PLACE.

I believe the field of underwater archeology to promise extraordinary potential in exposing yet another era of archaic human history. There's a lot of reason to excuse assuming the birth of civilization to around 10,000 years roughly within Mesopotamia and the east Mediterranean, but consider the records and lores about global floods which resulted from glacial melting at the end of the last great ice age -- records that have just barely managed to hang on in places like Australian aboriginal cave walls and in sumarian cuniform. Considering these elements as well as the trend of coastal migration of early modern humans, doesn't it seem like our coastal shelves may hold some pretty profound relics of a forgotten past?

2:18 Ahhh, it is good to see actual Vikings helms without horns :)

Meters, please!!

Under the sea, under the sea Down where it's wetter Down where it's better Take it from me

It's meters not feet It's football not soccer It's school not shooting range

Ocean is the place where you want to forget about things

The animation on this one is so cute and aesthetically pleasing

A pretty beautiful reminder of how we can find history in the seas.

"Depth O' *METER" is in feet

The animators did an awesome job with this video

The ocean is like a huge underwater museum that constantly adds artefacts to the knowledge of our future humanity.

2:35 Titanic survivors are so triggered

This is the first time I heard a RU-vid video said Denmark

As a maritime archaeologist I thank you for making this video.

Could you please use the metric system, only 3 countries in the world officially use imperial, and it's really quite frustrating when you use their units

i want to marry his voice

Just imagine if we were able to adapt to water, and it's crushing power at lower depths. We could find so much things we thought we lost forever

I bet dinosaur bones could be found down there as well🦖🦕

3:50 "United Kingdom" Because Ireland doesn't exist

2:14 that's not how you pronounce Roskilde...

0:10 also add implode submarine

How do you request videos do you just comment on a vid because I want to know how we get brain freezes

Another has been added recently.

3:50 cracked me up

Your voice is so calming

really appreciate the animation and music, makes it fun to learn

Yepp, guys you heard it! now we can throw everything that we don't need to the sea. people that will live 5000 years from now will know how our world looked like 5000 years agi from their time.

46 people lost their toothbrush overboard on a cruise ship and were triggered

Very well done. I am very happy to see you also knew that ocean levels were ? 400 feet lower in the ice age and thus cities are underwater today (in 400 feet or less depths of course LOL:-) Thanks for this great video. Well done.

Has Ted did a video about the golden age of Islam?

It always amazes me that we know more about outside our solar system than our own oceans.

3:15 if you listen you can hear gunfire

i can not DEAL with how ted-ed just keep on delivering

i was always fascinated with the ocean so beautiful

And you still keep using that primitive arkaick mesure system of feet, miles, noses and arms and whatever. Only used in the USA. This videos are whateched all over the civilezed world for educational purposes but you insist in that ridiculous system. Shame on you.

깊은 바닷속에 유물들을 살펴보며 간접적으로 인류의 역사를 탐험하는 시간이 되었습니다. 바다의 유물들이 인류의 역사에 대해서 많은것을 알려준다는것을 배웠습니다. 좋은 시간이 되었습니다. 감사합니다.

4:16 of course!

I love how Ted completely ignored non European submerged cities and artifacts as always European bias

plz turn down the intro my eardrums >.>

Whose feet is he talking about?

Too many people here whining about the measurement system used in the video. If you don't like it, don't watch it, that, or convert the numbers, or watch a educational video from your own dang country!

One day u will accidenatlly reales the kraken from 85000 ft :--------]

At 3:50 you wrote United Kingdom across Ireland and the uk, this is highly insulting to someone who is from Ireland as we are a republic and no longer governed by the uk

I like my own comments... :/

Plastics are also the artifacts of modern man at Challenger deep. What a proud moment for humanity?

Very interesting video - but poor and strange choice of background music! I cant be the only one thinking that? annoying and off-putting.

Whose the narrator for most of these videos?

Like I want to click off and watch another vid But I just can't come to myself to do it

You excluded structures that are more then 150ft below see level, structures that have been proven to not be geologically created because water doesn't carve statues. Off the coast of a Japanese island, under more than 200ft of water, as well as India. Then there are the ruins off the west coast of Cuba. Just because the archeological consensus is that they aren't man made, doesn't make them not man made. It means that people who's careers are built on peer reviews papers have an incentive to deny finds that could put their own works in question. When the people who head institutes petition governments to prevent archeologists from studying finds, there should be no doubt that those people are trying to preserve their own works and dating, and prevent it from being called into question.

Just think of the wonders we still don't know and are just waiting to be discovered.

I also think that the discoveries are SHORE to be continued.

Addison Anderson is the voice of TED-Ed now!

"Baia" sounds like "bahía" which in Spanish means "bay".

"This area has been submerged before man EVOLVED" Man was exiled to planet Earth,not evolved from it.

Someday they will find the Legendary Big Fin.

3:49 haha, this is so true; Scandinavia is a cold place

As always very good. One thing is that the "Greek", like you called him, was wearing a laurel wreath which is an accessories of the roman emperors starting with Caesar.

Seriously invest in a pop filter for recording dialog on these videos I mean its narration 101.

I've always wondered whether there are weapons, even nuclear bombs under the waters as a number of Cold War ships and subs sank during those years.

0:20 who else thought that was an ender pearl?

Your voice is just amazing

The animation style reminds me of The Ricky Gervais Show

Use metric units please.

Wow what an awesome video!!! I loved it! Im am so in love with the ocean... maybe I was a fish in my past life🐠🐟 haha just kidding:p

One of the best TedEd videos to date

holy shit, the antikythera mechanism is amazing, the greeks were way ahead of their time in technology as-well it seems

You said Roskilda its Roskilde i am from Denmark😁

I hope library of Alexandria will be discovered underwater. I'm infuriated by that still

how deep is it without retarded measurement unit?

Great video!

0:25 Pupils are on the glasses, but face is not He's closing the eye that is closer to the lens GOD DAMNIT IT'S SO ANNOYINH

This guy is probably the one who would say that water boils at 74 degrees Celsius.

Woah! That's an ancient computer! I wonder if it was more advanced than our own time at some point.

below 500 group.

wait! 800000 yrs old footprint 1:12 why didn't they get washed away? it was underwater

first

This just triggered me

Metric system please

The ad before this video was for scwatty potty help me XD

:o im quite early, yay, anyways bye (useless comment which i commented anyways)

AWESOME animation

10 feet-3.048m 20 feet-6.096m 30 feet-9.144m 50 feet-15.240m 70 feet-21.336m 90 feet-27.432m For non-Americans like me.

OceanGate sub is the next, sunk by horrible design and implosion

The map at 3:49 is genius

I live in Norfolk

This video is amazing

"800, 000 year old footprints were found near the shore of Norfolk." My neighbor watching this with me: It's me Nan's.

Hey why didn't you mention the wreck of the BISMARK at 15,000 ft

The name of that thing you see in the lower left corner is called depth METER... But I still can't understand it ...
