I'm from Sudan, particularly from the North, and I must say gold has been both a blessing and a curse. The gold rush in the region is insane to say the least, and most of it isn't done by corporations, but by your everyday citizens from all over Sudan. And while it has created wealth, it has also lead to a ton of conflict and feuds. The parts which are owned by corporations is the worse. Our government doesn't care and they literally dump their toxic wastes without any consideration to the locals, which has led to serious issues and discontent.

If they found Tin there, then the Arabian-Nubian Shield could've also been one of the major sources for Bronze back in the Bronze Age. Not sure how much data there is on it, but this seems like a more reasonable source than either Afghanistan or Cornwall.

@sleepingtoss 2 года назад

No tin, but there is enough copper there, which is the major component of bronze. And it has been archeologically proven that in Timna valley (in Israel near Eilat) copper was mined and melted during the Bronze age.

@bustavonnutz 2 года назад

@@sleepingtoss Says there's Tin along with Copper, Zinc, Silver, Lead, and (of course) Gold in sources from the better mapped Arabian side going back to antiquity, but I think the argument in Archeology is whether or not the Tin located in the ANS was one of the primary sources of Tin back in the Bronze Age. Afghanistan is argued to be the best bet, but I guess both the ANS and Cornwall are equally feasible sources since noone knows for sure. Idk if this rabbithole during finals was worth it, but that's what I found. Funny how much of a mystery the past is; noone knows despite so many "experts" seemingly having the answer.

@tewekdenahom485 2 года назад

@@bustavonnutz youre right he did say tin in this video but their hasnt been an extensive record of early bronze age metallurgy in this region of the world. However their is very early record of coppper metalurgy. that makes me believe that the tin present in the region today wasnt readily accesible in ancient times through ancient methods because bronze wasnt being made in this region until trade connections were better connected and handled more capacity to get external sources of tin during the middle and late bronoze age

@bustavonnutz 2 года назад

@@tewekdenahom485 Yeah I basically came to the same conclusion too, but there's a lack of feasible sources on Tin in general; noone really knows for sure where these ancient civs like the Hittites, Egyptians, and Akkadians where getting their Tin from. Sadly, this is just one of a myriad of mysteries surrounding that era. We still haven't deciphered Linear B and the Minoan language let alone figure out where they were getting their metal shipments from. Cyprus was continuously detailed as a source of Copper due to the immense role it played in the region (after all, you need 9x more Copper than Tin to make Bronze and there's also Arsenical Bronze which doesn't require Tin whatsoever). In the end I just hope that archeologists can keep making discoveries that point us in a clearer direction concerning this enigma.

@MrToradragon 2 года назад

@@sleepingtoss There was short period of copper age before bronze age. If I am not mistaken, then pure copper was widely used in ancient Egypt. The bronze, as well can be prepared with various other metals than tin, for example lead. This kind don't have to contain tin. So even civilization without access to tin can enter bronze age as long as it is able to produce lead, which, for some strange reason, we were madly in love with, even thou it is toxic over long time.

Dear Shirvan, great video as always. Just one error I want to draw your attention to as I have been researching this: There is no evidence that Eritrea has been supporting al-Shabaab in Somalia either financially or with arms since 2011.

On the map, it’s interesting to see the large areas of the Nubian shield in Ethiopia that are discontinuous and far from the main part of the shield. I would guess these areas have been separated by the tectonic plates moving (ie the same ones causing the Rift Valley formation).

@AmongRocks 2 года назад

This is correct, the african plate is breaking apart along the rift valley system, Madagaskar has already left. There is a hotspot where the red sea meets the ocean which started the red sea and the rift. So new plate bounderies are created but they have not moved very far from each other, in case of the red sea, and the african plate is still holding together.
