Uncovering The Lost Seas That Connected The Ancient World | Alexander's Lost World | Odyssey 

I am so glad David Adams is back. He is a true traveller, respectful, humble, kind; and through the way he presents- with passion, humility and clarity he has earned my admiration. Thank you David for your work and ability to convey the feeling of faraway lands and choosing this territory is a great step to unknown. ❤

This is how history should be investigated , explore all scenarios and never rule out the unknown.

I'll bet that John David Adams has enough material to make this journey a small series, which would have been wonderful.

This is Ancient History presented to us in a very informative manner. An excellent short history that deserves acknowledgement.

Finally someone shedding light and taking into account what was said in the ancient texts. It baffles me that modern archaeologists and historians pay no attention whatsoever to what was already found and lost. I have been reading plato and plutarch and it seems almost obvious to me that the greeks go way back than 10.000BC, all this mythological history has a base, and with modern day technology we should be able to find what was once lost to time.

Just how fragile human society is. Beautiful conclusion of beautiful documentary 😍

Love David Adams shows please keep them coming

I think that over-flights with LIDAR drones would be incredibly valuable in discovering ancient geology and archeology sites throughout these previously ignored areas. There is so much to learn about our history and world in the whole of Asia.

I’ve been trying so hard to find this series. Thank you.

This was brilliant. Does anyone know when this was filmed and initially aired? This felt like the first time in ages I've watched a complete documentary on Ancient Greece and actually learned something new: 1) That the story of the Argonauts could have been based on neolithic civilizations migrating from Asia to Europe, and vice versa 2) The Argonauts could have been sailing to Central Asia, via the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, and then a river system to Afghanistan and onto India 3) There was trade through this river system from India to Europe 4) There used to be a lot of trade and large cities along this river system, built and occupied by: The Oxus Civalization, The Persians, the Kingdom of Bactria, across thousands of years until they were mostly all abandoned in the 16th century. 5) Alexander was trying to copy the journey of the Argonauts, but along land, rather than by ship 6) Both the story of Jason and the reality of Alexander's military campaigns, could have ended up in Afghanistan and India. One by boat, and the other by land.

This is an old series from 15yrs or so ago but well worth seeing again,excellent!!!!

I love Alexandrine times. If anyone loves Hellenistic history and warfare I hotly recommend Schwerpunkt's videos series

Part 2 please 🙏

Can't wait for part 2

I would have loved to have seen rowers in their time, huge upper bodies, precise in their movements and efficiency 😮

I love this guy this is my inspiration today❤❤🎉

I’m really hoping to get all the episodes here. 🤞🏼

Wow I need to see the other part now!

Best series that's gone up in a while IMO! Thanks

Great video, lots of great info , makes you think

this episode is very very fascinating, the way that the Earth has changed over eons does bring a different understanding to old myth and legend

Very good! Thanks for sharing. 🙏

Your Documentaries are AMAZING! I fall asleep to them at night, and I don't mind rewinding them in the morning to hear what I missed.

Glad to see you David Adams. Waiting for more amazing journeys

I find this whole concept fascinating. The ancient sources speak of the importance of Alexander's navy in his push East but I have often wondered why a navy sailing basically off the Indian Ocean coast of Iran could do much. This explain how and makes me wonder how much trekking enormous distances Alexander actually did. I would love to understand how this enormous climate change took place in that area. Excellent documentary.

Great stuff

I was looking for David Adams that his last series where were on line 4 years ago. welcome David I enjoy your program very much! Thank you very match!

David Adams make some great documentaries.

Fascinating 👏

Truly interesting documentary, thank you.

Indus valley civilization also disappeared during the same period.

Excellent attempt to explore the remains of history ❤

I love watching these at 2am

Im so jealous of this man I'm a professional poker player so my job has allowed me to travel around the world I've been to every continent except Antarctica but I've never been to Afghanistan or Iraq or Iran and there is so much history there one of my greatest dreams is to see Persepolis in person and other places that alexander saw

marvellous stuff. humbling. one day my city will be ruins and dust too, and the archeologists will wonder about us. i would not mind having a peek into the future from my now, perhaps a 1000 years. greetings from western Canada

I don’t know what’s with all these comments thinking this is some new doco, it was filmed over a decade ago and aired in 2013

Get away from the edge of that well!!!!

The 10000 and Xenophon were there before Alexander of Macedonia. Read the Anabasis

Where did 200' or more of water level go!?

I've always heard that it was Afghanistan, the story came from

Didn’t Alexander come from Macedonia, not Greece?

9000 years ago, how good were the Greek ships? Even 6 000 years ago.

You draw a completely different anatomy for the past ,or brought up the past fossilized body of this region. Nobody had dan it.,! But you did . The one thing which I and probably many were waiting for .!!!ha ha in Avesta had said that zartosht’s religion will come back to life by some one called “shais. I think you are one of those ,home brings back the greatness of this region.We thank you very much. 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

I wish David Adams did a documentary telling the history of Zoroastrianism.

Where’d all the water go? Antarctica? Makes the pre ice maps more believable but how ? Poles moved?

Thank you for this video! The idea of aquatic connections and trade routes in the ancient world is fascinating; we can never know the complete truth (such a chimerical word, truth), only form theories based on material remains, but this documentary, besides being entertaining, is intiguing in the theories it presents. And the observation that climate change is not a new problem, but in fact something as old as time. Granted, humans have exacerbated the problem, especially in the last 200 years, it is good to hear a varied perspective. Also, as they are sitting around the campfire, consuming mutton broth and drinking vodka, one of the guides offers the toast, "chin chin"; curious how he uses a phrase usually associated with the England of the past. Did the phrase originate in Central Asia and made its way to England? Did the guide have access to the internet and a taste for English culture? Who knows? Interesting how the complexities of the world. But in the end, that is the theme of this documentary.

Oxus is Greek for ''oxen'' (ox) and the naming of the river symbolizes its might, power, and importance for civilization just as the animal, was and still is to some forgotten by time areas... the bottom line of the doc, is that ''climate change'' is as natural as weather is... the climate is constantly evolving, changing to numerous parameters... I don't know if the Argonautes went so far East... but the fact that a so important river has a Greek name shows something... after all the Greeks were always about trading, exchanging, and enriching through trade... not conquering territories and enslaving peoples... that's not us! that's not our legacy to the world!

I wonder..... What is an eye-dee-her?

Could a Ship Canal reconnect this ancient water trade route?

Uh what happened at the end?

Sad that this region is so poorly explored archaeologically, but it does create the prospect of magnificent discoveries to come in the future. 🗿🛕🏜

Is it David the Isrealite king? Or George V11 the British crown Prince (king?, and or the Persian king ?.

Vodka is best. Hot sheep soup and vodka on a cold night.

Is it David the Isrealite, or is it George V11 the British crown Prince (king). The Persian king.

If the Caspian Sea and Black Sea were connected some 10,000 years ago, then they should share the animal that they live in the sea. However, they don’t for instance, there is no shark in Caspian Sea Unlike Black Sea. aspiration fish for caviar in Caspian Sea un like Black Sea. And 10,000 or 20,000 years is not enough time for evolution and change to take place.overall, I think this two sea never connected at all.

what ya bet russian 1st ship down that system a water is military

Narrator claims it was "Climate change" that ended the ice age. Apparently he's never heard of Randall Carlson.

holy shit C.C. not tell greta ffs

you serious he look exactly like cheif ramsey hell kitchen

Boring

If you ask the Democrats, it’s because they had too many V8 land cruisers… And gas stoves
