The Mystery Of The 4,300-Year-Old Tools Frozen In The Yukon 

love the story archeology can tell, the answers and new questions it brings forth.

This is a great documentary! I could go on and on but suffice to say I've seen hundreds or probably thousands of documentaries and this one was really great, congratulations to everyone involved.

Otzi was found on the border between Austria and Italy, and I learned about it in class in Slovenia, so it seems the whole area kinda claims him. He is also covered with tattoos and is a fascinating story. "The best investigated human body the world has ever seen." Quote from the Forensic Pathologist who's in charge of keeping the 5000 y/o Iceman, they keep the world regularly updated about him.

I LOVE documentaries like this! So tastefully done!! This is why it's so important to preserve history rather than destroy it. It's the only way we learn to preserve the future.

This is wonderful and inspiring. We can't forget where we came from. I live in a place now where it's not uncommon to reach down and pickup a piece of history at least 2-3000 years old. It's awesome to think that someone long ago made it. Thank you for this.

Amazing! I love these videos and love the excitement of ancestors and archaeologists alike. So many treasures!!

Wow those blinds are amazing! That last piece is stunning. What a find! (And loss)

You can see the craftsmanship in these pieces. They have an artistic beauty besides being a necessity of life. This is so cool.

29:40 those spiral fletching are cool. I wonder why they don't discuss that more. It just boggles the mind that someone, probably many times came up with --"Hey we need to make this thing fly, and fly straight. How can we do that? Oh, feathers, of course." What a piece of work is man. Sometimes so high, sometimes lower than all the other animals.

ALL I can say is WOW! This is so visceral and honest showing our heritage and how they lived and survived so long ago. I'm of VIKING HERITAGE but both sites are just amazing to me. They show that they were so parallel to their way of life. A GREAT TANK YOU for this. I hope you keep following this and make another video/documentary that updates more of what they continue to discover.

We have those here ( 7.09 ) in Australia. Here they are called womeras. The womera was used not so long ago by our first Nations people. I find the correlation fascinating.

Astonishing! I completely lost track of time watching this fascinating documentary. Wow!

That antler arrow is definitely something I could see someone going back to find. Cussing and trying to figure out where you might have dropped it. Like misplacing a tool you've had for years today.

The idea that those Caribou just fell over when hit is Crazy. Those Hunters tracked them for miles before harvesting them.

I have loved studying ancient weapons over the years. The atlatl is a new discovery. Thank you for this documentary.

This episode is so beautiful... thank you.

It's pretty cool to be able to connect with ancestors from thousands of years ago. It's also beautiful that the First Nation people are reclaiming their heritage.

Fantastic, as Always Thank You

Wow, amazing finds. The first people must be delighted with these items.

Gosh that was amazing, so much looking back on the past, something good out of the ice melting

WOW! No other words. Thank you for a fabulous video.

This is an amazing documentary One of the absolute best!

Fabulous documentary!✌😸

That was great ! I've found many many arrowheads , possibly spearpoints , pieces of pottery , parts of cultivation adzes but this stuff is absolutely to be cherished. Nice cinematography , great narrative ! Huuay and thank you !

Awesome!!! So beautifully done! Thanks 🙏

Thanks to the web and RU-vid and those make and post these shows I am able to travel around the world and learn about ancient people's. I am truly grateful.

That his DNA matched people who still live in the area is mind blowing. What a great feeling it must be to have found such an old relative on the family tree.

Thank you for uploading this

I love history such as this I can't get enough.

Wow!...thankyou for sharing

WOW i am so happy that there are people with knowledge and locals making an effort to collect , study and preserving this objects that tells the history of truly Americans for future generations to come . Greetings from Minneapolis Minnesota 🙏🙏

The technology and way of life that changes with the change of earths climate and how people changed how they lived and survived. It’s amazing the discovery of how our ancestors lived in the past.

Timeline I LOVE HISTORY ♥️ I love Arrowhead Hunting Rock Hunting and Collecting etc.... I'm addicted to Arrowheads & Arrowhead Hunting ♥️👍 I love Arrowhead Hunting ♥️👍

In Australia aboriginal people have used the woomera for 10s of thousands of years. Amazing how different cultures come up with the same ideas a world apart

This is insanely cool !

Fascinating 💞 I'm in love with "History Hits" 💞 Please tell me you'll never stop!

Interesting that the same thing is happening in different parts of the world. Thanks for this film.

I wonder what else is hiding under all that ice and snow? WOW!!!

An absolutely great documentary

Regarding the hunting animations, the animals would NOT just drop after being struck by a spear, arrow, or dart. The point is to make the animal bleed out, which takes time. The animals would have run away, needing to be followed by the hunters.

Finally a real history channel this is great

Beautiful story of Beautiful people finding themselves again.

That was fantastic!

Intriguing and fascinating!

Wonderful documentary.

Awesome finds

Absolutely enthralling. 🤯

Wow! Thank you for sharing this fantastic information. And so good it is appreciated so much by its present inhabitants.

Thanx for the Reminder ! i recall it now .

cool stuff so where did all the branches they made these come from ? how far were the forests ? so they are being exposed as in they were lost and at some point covered :) so its more like just going back a bit in time to what it used to be like and seeing the places ancient people used to be walking on and now we are walking on the same ground they did

Beautiful Story!

Ancient Mayans along with other ancient civilizations used those exact same darts/spears as well..Kinda crazy..

Usually I’m more interested in historic artifacts versus prehistoric ones, but this was fascinating.

wow! great show, thank you!!!

AWESOME!!!

Simply amazing…

most wonderful video thanks for sharing

was excited to here about research about the Sami. part of my ancestors were Sami. i want to know more about the ancestors.

Love this .

I just sobbed watching this!

Mesmerized. Fascinated.

Amazing. Some really beautiful items recovered and I love the story that it tells us about the people who were here before us in North America. It’s not so easy to sell this story to the archaeologist in the south eastern United States. I think sometimes they have cotton inside their heads. I found some artifacts and other people I know have found artifacts and anytime we take them to the archaeologists they just downplay it and say that they’re not that old I even caught one archaeologist not identifying one artifact that he had already identified earlier. Sometimes I think it says if they are frightened and they don’t want to know more because they are comfortable in their little bubble. I always thought that science was supposed to be about learning more and advancing knowledge but sometimes in the United States if I didn’t know better I would say that some of the people I have met are trying to keep a lid on things and deliberately frustrate the efforts of normal people like myself from being involved in archaeology anthropology or the history of my own country. It’s disheartening and frustrating. It also makes people not trust archaeologists.

Excellent Doco, This Research should done in Antarctica & Greenland more, as well ..

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

How many warm and cold periods affected their living patterns? So AWESOME!!!

Great video

Fabulous!

This was amazingly beautiful thank you so much from Milwaukee Wisconsin USA

Amazing.

Thank you

What size was the moccasin? This is the most interesting video I've ever seen. I love a more natural approach to living.

Amazing artifacts

Wow . This is amaizing

That's like finding a Clovis point down here in Texas.

Awesome

Finally! Back to the ANCIENT history! It’s about time 🙄

So the "wobbling" movement created by the atlatl works like the rifling in a gun barrel, creating rotation that keeps the projectile stable in flight. Fascinating technology that has stood the test of time.

This is inspiring! I am in the camp of Native American and First Nations people were incredibly sophisticated, civil and honorable. Occupying Europeans were the barbarians.

From what I've learned about the climate and north America we are seeing the earth change the climate.

I hate it when everyone says "it's all melting". then this happens.....May 2022 The May 1 survey shows snowpack continues to be record-setting in the majority of Yukon basins, due to both historically high snowfall throughout the winter and a colder than average month of April delaying the onset of snowmelt. Eight of eleven monitored basins have the highest recorded May 1 basin snowpack estimate, while the remaining three basins have well above average snowpack. The record-setting snowpack in many watersheds creates a high potential for spring snowmelt driven flooding in Yukon communities.

Incredible how real the animations look. Astonishing how technology can do that. Its like the hunters were raised from the dead and hunting them before our eyes. Even how the dart hit the prey and they dropped dead instantly. Incredible the level of realism.

This is so cool idk why more people seen this video

I think this is Amazing coming from a nation my self with a civilization 60,000 years strong!! We have to learn our history for sure. But once we have learnt enough of an item and what it was and does. Then that's it!! The experts need to leave the remaining to be apart of the Earth. I hope that makes sense. Thankyou for some beautiful parts of history. When one lived to survive with his or her group. But who lived in a world I'd give anything for to have lived. Purity in its most beautiful form.

I'm surprised the darts can be thrown so accurately considering how crooked they are and how flexible they are when thrown.

At 7-00 minutes they show something similar to a weapon we used as kids. We called them sling arrows and we used string to throw them.

very good

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?"

We made these as kids but used a knotted string fitted to a small groove cut in the arrow which gave us leverage to hurl the arrow many meters.

I love that everyone is so professional and providing education, and that Ol'Timer just comes along with his lack of F@*ks and says, "All the $@IT in these hills proves it." Perfectly said, sir. No notes.

I am interested in the geological history of this area they are showing. The rocks would be glacial debri, but they are not worn down like the ones I've seen, they have acute angles and some are sharp. The mountains have very sharp angles to them.

Dang...they had penny loafers 1500 years ago 😄

I'm so happy for the descendants that they can access their traditions and artifacts.

Its a great documentary but an old one. I believe i watched this particular one 2 years ago.

How deep would the ice have been at the time these items were lost?

It's amazing to me how closely related the spear is to the modern hybrid bullet design. They even behave the same ballistically.

I don't know if you can say a 5-9,000 year old body is your relative because your people may have lived there a few hundred years. Look at ancient Egypt or other old civilizations, they were different, some of their genes may live on somewhere, but people have always been travelers, they may intermingle or just push others out. Ancient civilization is very fascinating and should be preservered.

I wonder why everything found seems to come from a block of time, considerably later than human activity in these same areas. It seems to me that there must have been a warm period that melted the ice, thus destroying items that were, say, ten thousand years old. Perhaps during the Roman Warm Period.

i just pushed play on this here and im watching till the end my friend....

Very interesting! May be another Ötzi is found there in future? ;)

I hope they don’t find smallpox
