Is There A Sunken Bronze Age Civilisation Under The Black Sea? | Dark Secrets | Absolute History 

The ocean sounds so majestic

@@User-rka_zykx76 The sound is terrible.

Cats are a symbol of white supremacy and slavery.

Not loud enough to hear so I gave up on lstening. The subject is very interesting to me but this did not help.

It really does.

Agreed

Loud background music, audio levels are all over the place on mostly everything.

Idk why you guys are surprised, this wasn’t made by professionals, it’s on RU-vid hehe

haha same, I thought I had problems with my airpods😂

What's wrong?!?!@ Black people can't be loud!?!?

Like Dodgerland

There's also people that didn't keep any records. The romani and others if they did record things, they wouldn't keep anything. The Celtics, the white goddess book isn't accurate. They didn't leave much records and the guy that wrote the book didn't care too much on scholar archeological findings so the book isn't worth it if anyone has been intrested.

@@forrestfey Dodging the Land or Dogging the land?

I think you need to review the last sentence of your comment. It doesn't make any sense.

You mean Doggerland in the North Sea area ​@@forrestfey

😂😂😂😂 Dr. Phil by day Ice age writer By Night 😂🤣🤣

@@lumanshadowboyhisdogfriend3488 😂😂😂

They donated too much money to BLM to afford a good technician

You don't need an engineering degree to adjust sound levels

They are only reposting videos, they didn't make an of them.

Of course ,duh ! Changes over hundreds and thousands of years . Nothing biblical about it.

Ah, happier times.

😂😂😂😂

Nah man thats steven and justins dad. Those assantis from my 600 lb life lol

Well, that is true, many myths have at least a tiny bit of truth in them but people are a bit too happy to interpret them the way they want it. Like claiming that the Greeks just like the Bible had a myth of a great flood. That is a partial truth because the Greeks had at least 4 different myths about 4 different floods. It isn't really that strange either, almost all old Greek cities were next to the sea so flooding was something that happened now and again. I am also confused why they think the Biblical myth happened in the Black sea here. The flood myth in the Gilgamesh epic happened in the Red sea and the Bible was written down down during the Jewish exile in Babylonia so they were well versed in that one and frankly even if they are unrelated, the Red sea is closer and a storm surge can indeed make a huge flood there so it seems like a likelier place. I don't really think either of these myths are related here, the Greek one were supposedly happening in the Mediterranean outside Byzantium that was a Greek colony originally and while that certainly also could have affected the Black sea, that is not what the story say. That said, it is certainly possible there might be a Bronze age or late Neolithic city or town under the Black sea but not really a "Civilization". There is certainly a treasure horde of sunken old ships in excellent shape at the bottom of it at least, some so well preserved the rigging still can be seen on some of them due to the lack of oxygen and sea life in the lower layer of it. It is a very promising area for very exciting finds. We need to be a bit careful when looking on myths. It is easy to pick a certain part of them and then move the area they were supposed to happen in to make things fit. Sure, they could be based on that and have moved with the oral telling but generally, that is more wishful thinking unless you can actually prove them. With the black sea, I would rather have them look for more ancient ship wrecks then anything else. We have already found shipwrecks as old as 300 BCe in a condition that is unparalleled and it isn't impossible we could find a Mycenae or Minoan ship there (we know they sailed in the area), that would teach us so much about their ship technology and what they traded, something we basically just know from depictions and a few texts like the Armana letters. That might not sound as exciting as a lost civilization but it is darn close. The problem with the myths is really that very few of them really talks about the Black sea when you actually read them, it takes some creative changes and assumptions to move the myths a bit and that rings some warning bells to me. But you are right that some of them are based on true stories. For instance, there were this area in Öland, Sweden who were supposed to be cursed and the locals still avoids it. Some years ago, the archaeologists found a fortified town there. Someone had set fire to it and killed everyone there but just left them, all their valuables with them and just went away. People still remembered 1600 years later that something really bad had happened there which is your grain of truth, but the details were long gone. What happened is still a mystery, gold was rather rare at the place and time and still no one bothered taking it for some reason. The hard thing is to find that grain of truth...

@@loke6664 You hae a well set out and logical argument. I agree. On the sunken ships I think if we found a few with any written material on board we may have examples of some of the forms of writing such as linear a. That in itself would be a treasure.

@@StephanieElizabethMann True, the more Linear A we have, the easier it will be to finally decode it and the current amount we have is pretty limited. Still, we would have to get pretty lucky for that. Papyrus and parchment with ink doesn't exactly have great survivability under water even without oxygen, but a vase or something with text on could certainly survive intact. But even without any writing, finding an intact ship from the bronze age would tell us a lot about sea faring from the time. We do have a copper age ship in good shape, the Khufu ship found next to the great pyramid and we have found more then a few ships from the classical era in the Black sea but nothing from the Bronze age. A Greek or perhaps an early Phoenician ship from Tyre could tell us so much. :) I think just the possibility makes further surveys of the area well worth it, even if I have serious doubts of any lost civilizations in the area. There is a lot more area to cover and there will be more wrecks there.

It's actually quite common for people to make up stories of fantastical things.

@@twonumber22 my comment maybe didn't convey that I some story that is completely new, novel and bears no relationship to anything or anyone that already exists.

We're still in an ice age; you're talking about the last glacial maximum. Also, how long ago the Mesolithic period was varies by region, it isn't a single time period, either. It's ridiculous how these videos invite idiots to make themselves known. They watch random YT videos and think they're experts. At least you didn't bring up the Younger Dryas.

@@TheEudaemonicPlague indeed, we are in a interglacial period. I was talking in general terms, and about the blacksea region. And i would say again that a stoneage culture would certainly have been displaced by the inundation of the black sea basin.

I was thinking Dr Phil, but yeah 😂

I was smoking Crack when I made this.

Makes sense since they control most of the shoreline

That was a long time before this. The Mediterranean has been full for millions of years. Good videos about it on RU-vid. When it has gone dry in the past, it becomes a giant salt pan desert that would be a real nightmare to cross.

If you want to finish it, the closed captions seem to be pretty accurate (unlike a lot of videos in which they’re auto-generated.) I use captions quite often.

Maybe. All them white people look the same.

Not everybody lives off of Wrlfare and food stamps like you. So.e people have to lie, cheat,and steal for a living and other upload videos a dozen times!!! Check your GRITS!!!

Go get me my foodstamps!!!

If it rises fast enough it resembles a flood. Plus rising sea levels doesn't sound good for oral traditions

That's what floods are lmao

Are you talking about Pedo Pete, Aka Pedo Peter, Aka Joe Biden?

GAYI

All I know is when around blacks; DON'T relax. Ya dig, ya jive azz turkey. 🦃

Everytime you see a smith lay a blade to a band grinder your seeing the stone age.

Ymir...

Probably. All you white people look the same.

I'm here because I'm on welfare and disability so I don't need to work.

@@MagicalKneeGhrow omg same!!

Common sense isn't that common these days ~

If only more people thought like this and applied it, we could have a more peaceful world

There seem to be a number of topics that will cause a good number of people to vocalize their own superiority, reflect their insecurities, and to lose that filter and post the most atrocious comments. Politics, Religion, and now any time you share an opinion. It's history, lacking physical evidence that cannot prove historic events is what makes the discussion and research fascinating. I agree, enjoy the content or leave. I have my faith/beliefs, and I love science. You will find that the two are not mutually exclusive.

Your denial dial goes to 11. Neat.

The only thing that should matter is Black Lives Matter!!!

The story of Noah is pulled from Epic of Gilgamesh.

@johnchapman-oo1el That's according to scholarship. It predates everything Greek. You can hear the great Dr. Irving Finkel explain it here on RU-vid, for example.

@johnchapman-oo1el I don't know why you went on that tangent but you should listen to Dr. Finkel talk about Sumeria.

Nope!!! They be a Transformer. A Decepticon to be precise.

REP-A-MA-RATE-SHONS!!!!

Noah's Flood is obviously some kind of memory of the ice age ending.

Don't write off the bible so quickly, life is full of things that don't seem to make sense and yet they exist.

A guy didnt build a boat big enough to carry pairs of animals and he certainly didnt have the time to sail the world and pick up the animals. If you believe this story you are really really dumb.

Praying for you 🙏 so many lost souls 🙏

Prove it.

They look the same to me. You all look the same to me

Nor anything said with a Arabic, Islamic, Tasmanian Devil sounding accent. You know, Muslims.
