At 6.28 you can see straight lines in a grid pattern, these are seismic survey lines cut with bulldozers to allow vibroseis vehicles to operate. I worked in the Libyan Sahara for over 9 years and found many interesting things in the Ubari and Murzuk sand seas. Things like flint arrowheads, pottery shards, and grinding stones etc. Also areas with large numbers of burial mounds and rock carvings. These are the artfacts of a fixed people not transients.
On the left hand side of the screen? Hell no man. Now yeah you definitely did this stuff and it does exist. But that's just a grid overlay on a Ariel photo of some dried up tributaries. They aren't survey lines
When I think of the Sahara sands...I think of bones under there...lots of bones from camels, caravans, people trying to get across etc. I am willing to bet all kinds of items could be found, from daggers, to even a few jewels, brass items, clay pots, and so on.
ive thought about this for years. considering it is in a cycle of desert to lush land i would expect more than we could imagine is hidden beneath it. to the point i think it would change our views on our history
You guys make it like land just floats on the ocean or something. There's no way there's anything underneath the Sahara that's larger than a shrimp that's still living.
@@greenbud1477 well that’s idiotic so calling him a smooth brain is ironic. Just listening to the opening 30 seconds or so of the video would’ve cleared that up for you.
The cO2 levels during the dinosaurs was VASTLY higher than it is today. Plants, Animals, virtually EVERYTHING was larger, richer, and yes, the planet was tropical!
@@THESHOWBOAT It's a "virtuous cycle" higher CO2 supports larger vegetation, which in turn produces greater oxygen levels, which increases the size of critters, which in return exhale out greater C02. And on and on until there's a massive die-off. (Like the flood)
🤣 I've been noticing that OFTEN as well. When I ask a basic question on Chrome , it seems like I signed into a 10 min lecture and never get my question answered? Also many of these videos click bait ya, and as it ends, and they got your view, but never delivered the goods.
He told us it had been covered with ocean. He indicated only 20% is sand, there is a lot of rock. Presumably one can google if one cannot connect the dots.
@@originaldcjensen You appear to be claiming that he didn't need to explain where the sand came from, even though the Sahara is only famous for one thing, SAND, and it's existence was explained by him by mentioning that it was covered by an ocean some time ago in the long distant past. Outstanding. P.S. Did you write the script by any chance? Just asking. No inference meant by that question. None at all. Oceans, sand. Got it.
Didn't those ancient people know they had to switch to green energy to prevent climate change? They probably drove around their Chevy Tahoe's without any consideration of the atmosphere.
Everything is actually right in front of your eyes. You can still see footpaths and grazing patters that are thousands of years old. And the sediment you see also contains rocks and gravel. These were not created by wind.
I from Mauritania, the river is there, there also you can find place in middle of place desert in Mauritania named bou mhara you can see what it’s like places you see under water or under oceans, you can find Shellfish, vertebrates, and many remains of marine creatures.. I’d love to see some scientists go there and studie it..
FYI 48 m² is a small pond. It is incredibly important to put the prefix "kilo" in the front of the word "meter" when you are, in fact, talking about something that is 48 km².
@@wellno9 Easy now; there are many Americans who acknowledge that the imperial system is moronic and that the metric system makes a lot more sense. I know that, because I'm one of them.
If your standing in the Sahara desert your standing in the middle of the ocean the Tethys sea where it was once roamed by the gigantic apex predator of the Eocene basilosaurus
Sauropods have multiple species. Not saying you’re wrong but you made that sentence sound as if in the same way you’d mention cave peoples as the omnivorous great apes.
Right up until you interjected the climate change b/s next to the earth’s orbital change impact, I was enjoying the program, but you couldn’t help yourself. Aligning infinitesimal human impact with astronomical impacts, exposes the climate change argument for the folly it is.
Good vid, thanks. Rather surprised you didn't mention the lidar discovery of a big castle like structure found under 120 meters of Sahara sand a few years ago, belonging to an unknown civilization.
they were a civilization of 8lack people 🙄 but watch the arabics claim that it was them SMH 🤦🏽 vultures,, i bet european scientists will also claim it was them or they'll try to deny that they were 8lack peoples 😒 typical nonsense
They're the type of people that disregard or omit things that challenge their world view or the narrative for history they've been told/constructed. Same reason that it took so long for continental drift to be accepted.
@@A_Black_Sheep94 Um no, this isnt as history changing as the Continental Drift. It has long been known that the Sahara alternates between a desert and grassland every couple thousand years or so. We also know that people used to live in the Sahara. (Also wtf? haven't we known about that for more than 2 decades now?)
@@isthatbraised What point are you trying to make? The question was about why someone wasn't covering a subject not how history changing something would or would not be.
It was more than "Substantial" levels. During the Jurassic period, C02 levels hovered between 2,800 and 3,200 ppm. Today, we're around 425 ppm. And, life didn't end. On the contrary, it thrived more than any other Era in Earth's history. The entire planet was a lush steaming jungle from pole to pole.
9:51 You’re rambling incoherently: Now you’re shifting focus to "how humans managed to live in the desert", which has nothing to do with the title, and you still haven’t explained anything about how the lushness disappeared so fast from the Sahara region! The structure and disposition is on 3. grade level!
I really like your channel. But I have to say that "sauropod" is a classification of dinosaurs, not a species. Do you happen to know which sauropod was discovered?
The narration is pretty brutal. "Why is that? Well we are about to give you the answer. Scientists have been studying that question for decades, and now they have the answer, which we will now reveal. The answer to this particular question was obtained using spectrelgenic processing on the world's most advanced supercomputer, which had been processing the answer for months. The results were truly astounding"
the one critique I have about this video is narrator said greenhouse gas emissions 'causes' climate change.. it doesn't cause it, it contributes to it.. lots of things contribute to climate change. if there weren't any emissions, the climate would still be changing,-at almost the same rate, mind you
@rafael Perez then it will be changing differently. 10 billion people and counting is unsustainable. No matter how you slice it the human race either annihilates itself completely or is again slimmed down to a few thousand unlucky souls left to start it all over again.
Very interesting topic, alas it seems more popular scientific than thoroughly researched. There are quite a few smaller mistakes like the big font "under the *ands* of the Sahara" or calling the basilosaurus "bailosaurus". but also content errors like "the dinosaur sauropod" when in reality the sauropods were a group of dinosaurs that consisted of many different species. The whole Video gives the impression of having been rushed for Quick clicks to the expense of proof reading, which is a real shame for an awesome topic like this
WHICH Sauropod is found in the Sahara? Sauropodomorphs are an extensive group of dinosaurs which includes Brachiosaurus, Diplodocus, Apatosaurus, Supersaurus, Ultrasaurus, Barrosaurus, Amargasaurus, Argentinosaurus, Sauroposeidon, Mamenchisaurus, Camarasaurus, and many more.
There were multiple sites with large stones and they were mostly for navigation.......locations have been moved around at times back and forth across the desert dodging mountains of sand blown around on the winds
Yes very strange how two rocky planets can look the same... But if you're insinuating that Mars Missions is made up, then how do you get thousands of people working on it, to keep it a secret??
Your content is good. But one suggestion.......... Don't put these types of thumbnail, New people assumes that there must be a dumb video on it, and hence less clickbait. Hope you got it 🥱
@@meloney yup that's exactly why click bait exists in the first place. It's like spam email. Today its all mostly scams but when spam emails first came about it was mostly businesses trying to get people to buy their stuff online. Without click bait, nobody would watch videos. Without spam email nobody would have started buying stuff online.
"which cause climate change..." Beautiful peice of work, that can't be criticised because of it's excellent presentation throughout 99%. So they take that opportunity, to dish out a nice little poison pill at the very end. A spoon full of sugar makes the "medicine" go down.
The video editing in this video and all the designs made my day and just inspired that sense of science love I used to to love but then vanished. Alhamdulillah!!!! And thanks a million for the people who make such great content
Hmmm, you sure about that? You might also meet something in the lake from millions of years ago that I'm quite certain will swallow you and the kayack whole.
I always knew that Sahara was an ocean floor (sand from the bottom on an ocean) but i didn't knew how long ago..This was never taught in schools...It's logical just by looking at it...
Lol no the sand in the dessert is not the same as sand under the ocean you can’t even use dessert sand for building because it’s round not jagged like sea sand dessert sand is in no way related to sea sand
@@moonza2385 that part it being green many have known and the ocean part is becoming more proven. I just have a question of why he used the term in the beginning, “then something went wrong.” What if it was happening like it was supposed to? Which I believe. Many over look how violent the earth is. And ever changing.
Interesting! I have 6g Libyan dessert glass. And every time I look at it. It makes me wonder of how many ancient events that had witnessed during prehistoric time.
I've a massive piece and Moldavite mine must be at least 100 grams I'm a pleadian starseed I've lots of meteorites I love space I'm a qualified shaman and reiki practitioner too
@@ReginaM I love Moldavite I've one piece that's 20 grams I take it everywhere it's great to interact with different pieces though I get the whole Moldavite flush again when interacting with new pieces always feels alot more powerful I guess it's just my energy adjusting
The Tamanrasset River leads towards the Eye of the Sahara aka The Richat (spelling could be wrong). That River led to the Ancient City of ATLANTIS which was built on The Richat Structure. Atlantis was an Island... but it was NOT in the middle of the Ocean or a Sea. It was in Mautritania.... led by the Ancient King Atlas, the legenedary king of Atlantis AND historical king of Mauritania... just south of the Atlas Mountains and with an expansive fertile plain spreading to the south of the city. UNTIL a TIDAL WAVE like a TSUAMI destroyed the city and salted the plain destroying it's ability to produce food turning it into a dessert, wiping out all of the buildings of stacked stones. You can still find the exact same stones described scattered in that region and SOME have been made into homes for residents using the same ancient staked stone methods. Read the "legend" as laid forth by the greeks. From greece you most travel past the pillars of Hercules into the Atlantic because you couldn't travel past the mountains. The only thing they don't say is TURN SOUTH to enter back into the continent via river. But every landmark mentioned is right where the greeks claim. The Concentric Circles of the Island correspond exactly to those of the Richat Structure. The building materials are there and still being used. The hot and cold running water is a natural feature of the Central "Island" of the Richat. It was right there. It was real. Not a myth. It is obvious if you know where to look and what to look for. There would have been OTHER cities of the Kingdom. But THIS was Atlantis... the city of Atlas.
The city of Atlantis (or the city underwater that's referred to as atlantis) is believed to be Thonis-Heracleion which is off the coast of Egypt,its a city that ended up underwater due to a series of earthquakes and before you say anything about books or references.the city of atlantis was fictional,it was based on the story of heracleion,which also has a very fascinating real life history.but much like today,people take stories and add bits to them.plato invented a whole story about atlantis attacking Athens.which kinda made sense seeing as heracleion was around in the time of the Greeks,hence its name after heracles
@@user-sk4wf3ve6z uh no, wrong...you should do your research!! It was clearly a reptilian space vessel disguised as a city/island and calling itself atlantis. Its purpose was to enslave mankind and brainwash them to mine gold and make vacuous tik tok videos. People like you are just trying to hide the truth!!
@@user-sk4wf3ve6z NO. It was in Mauritanis located on the Richat Structure and it was not fictional. Tons of cities sank all over the world. They were not all Atlantis. Find the videos by "Bright Insight". These are not similarities between Plato's description like with the city you mention. These are EXACTLY the SAME as his description. Every landmark, mountains where they are supposed to be, plains where they are supposed to e, the directions on how to get there the same as they are suppoed to be, hot and cold running water in the center island, the same Ancient King of that Region, red, black and white stacked stone buildings (the stones are scattered there today AND some people there still use those toes in the same way to make their homes)... the dimension of the richat structure the same dimensions the city of Atlantis is supposed to be. IT IS THE SAME PLACE. It is Atlantis... not LIKE Atlantis.
@@jasondoucette6236 People get to caught up on the word ISLAND and don't want to remember that Islands while surrounded by water can be islands in a lake or river and not just oceans. They also get too caught up in the fantasies of Atlantis and image they had things like Laser Guns, Rocketships etc. When all they had that was so advanced Plato tells us about was a Spring, a Hot Spting, and concentric rings with a moat NONE of which they built. They just found a great unique location that had those features and built there.
A man from Arabai 1400 years ago is recorded to have said that "one of the signs of Judgment Day would be that the land of Arabia would return to greenery and rivers, as it once was". أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ
@YAHwarrior FIREMAN I was talking about deserts - as clearly indicated by my use of the word "desert". I didn't say anything about continents. Are you okay? Do you need referral to a psychiatrist?
A remote appears in your hand. You flip the channel. The scene changes from a galactic battle to a game show where the host is a giraffe and all the contestants are giant mice. You flip the channel again. The scene changes to a small alien girl blowing out a birthday cake. You hold your finger down on the remote and the channels start flipping faster and faster, at the speed of a hummingbird’s wings. The channels are endless. They contain the media of every civilization that has ever existed. Within a minute you flip through 100 million channels. Getting the idea, you lift your finger from the remote. It stops on what looks like an HD nature documentary. You see a slow-motion macro shot of a hummingbird flapping its wings. The camera zooms out and you see yourself standing next to it in the desert, admiring its beauty.
A few years ago, there was a 2-degree shift in the earth's axis. I was surprised at the time that this barely made the news. Around 15000 years ago, there was a 4-degree shift and many plant species went extinct, affecting the rest of the ecosystem as well. I wonder if this recent shift could have had an influence on some of today's weather issues. It has been many years since my university days, so please forgive my numbers if they are off, but I do remember vividly studying the affects of the earlier axis shift. I thought then that it was pretty amazing how such a small shift had such a profound affect on the environment. Just a thought
For sure, being as though it was likely lush land. The civilization laying under the Sahara would be older than the ones they're finding with lidar in the Amazon
We had already known of Ancient Rivers from the Late 90's, as I can recall from a discussion, in a Climatology Course. The Technology was cutting edge back then, and We were so excited about Remote Sensing. This Technology, makes what We thought was cool back, then look like a Highschool STEM Project.
Why at at the end of this pretty good video, you had to throw in a comment about man made climate change. In the earth history co2 levels have 4 times what it is now, ( even during the ice age ) co2 levels we have today is helping to green the planet. The history of the Sahara proves climate change is normal, that is call normal climate cycles. Nice touch at the end of this video showing two stacks emitting what is most likely steam, co2 ls invisible gas like oxygen and it is as necessary.
It'd only be helping to green the planet if we were allowing the green to grow as nature intended. But we do not. Also, using visual examples to display non-visual ideas and imagery is so common in visual media that it's concerning to see someone try to refute its use.
@@bronzotatendang2850 well, I mean, consider the mostly-dead zones that are major (and, quite frankly most minor) cities. It's not really a productive, natural ecosystem when humans are the only major (and majority) life form present. Other than the existence of dying itself, humans have even overall removed ourselves (especially in the US) from the transfer of energy cycle (composition/decomposition, where every organic entity is consumed by another organic entity) by favoring urn-ed/bejeweled/etc ashes over spread ashes, burials, and growing/plant pods.
Sometimes the errors of this channel make it more of a comedy than a knowledgeable source of information lmfao and one remember when he said dimetrodon wrong the entire episode 😂😭😂 and now the intro cut scene they can’t even spell sand right 😂😂
so I don’t understand, why don’t you create your own channel? you are too smart with us to write under all the videos that there is a mistake somewhere. And why are you even watching this channel?
Carson….you are absolutely right to call them out on simplistic grammatical errors IMO. Frankly, they’re supposedly giving us historically accurate information and should therefore be held to a higher standard.
You weren’t making an arrogant comment as if “you could do better!” It is comical that they commonly misspell or mispronounce names/places/things - so don’t take it personally if others can’t see these bush league errors
I enjoy these kinds of videos up until the point where “anthropogenic climate change” enters the narration as though it is a scientific fact versus scientific “consensus”. There are many factors that “cause” climate change, as evidenced by the geological history of Earth. Greenhouses gases are but one factor and are most certainly not the cause of an “apocalypse” that will befall us in the next few decades.
The sauropod is one of my favourite dinosaurs. I like them almost as much as the bird, which is my favourite vertebrate after the reptile. The bird can weigh up to 2 meters!
Funny how us humans turn a place into something else and call it restoration, usually by putting water where it doesn't belong. We'll learn the real results in the USA if the current drought destroys 1/3 of our country's agriculture. It appears that "restoration" of our environment is how societies collapse.
@@stevejamieson8468 without the Sahara desert the Amazon jungle would become a desert. A jungle is just a desert with nutrients and enough plants to collect humidity to cause rain. That nutrients comes from another desert in the form of minerals from sand on wind. There’s a stream of air that brings particles of sand from the Sahara all the way across the ocean and deposits them in South America to feed the jungles. If we turned the Sahara into a desert the sand flow would stop and South America would become the new Sahara.
