For over 150 years, researchers have been perplexed by the purpose and meaning behind the mysterious non-figurative signs found in over 400 caves, including renowned locations like Lascaux, Chauvet, and Altamira. However, utilizing a comprehensive database of images spanning the European Upper Palaeolithic, our guests present a groundbreaking theory on how three commonly occurring signs were actually units of communication.
In this captivating discussion, we speak to Dr. Tony Freeth and Ben Bacon as they explain hrough extensive analysis, we propose that when these signs appear in close proximity to animal depictions, they serve as numerical representations of months. In fact, they form integral components of a local phenological and meteorological calendar.
Dr Tony Freeth is a founding member of the Antikythera Mechanism Research Project and an Honorary Senior Research Associate at University College, London. He holds degrees in Mathematics from Cambridge University (UK) and Bristol University (UK). His work on the Antikythera Mechanism has been published in Nature (Freeth et al, Nature 2006 and Freeth et al, Nature 2008) as well as other prominent journals.
Ben Bacon, an amateur archaeologist and furniture conservator in London, meticulously examined ancient markings on cave paintings dating back 20,000 years, finding compelling evidence that they could be associated with a language. Teaming up with two professors from Durham University and one from University College London, they embarked on a collaborative effort to decipher the significance of these enigmatic symbols.

I have become more and more interested lately with ancient humanity; perfect video!! Not sure how to express it, but I find these ancient humans and cave paintings, etc, very spooky in a way. Something about them being human yet living in such a different world, and us having really no true grasp on world events prior to ~7000 years ago. Thanks JMG!

@siamakkhodadoust6393 Год назад

You are right, although we may be talking about a very small proportion of those prehistoric humans and probably we won't be able generalise the idea for all the human species. I guess the same hypotheses still apply.

@jackesioto Год назад

Slowly but surely, we are learning what prehistoric people were like and have unearthed some surprises along the way. For example, we have found possible evidence of a civilization in Turkey that predated ancient Sumeria. This possible civilization dates as far back as 11,000 BCE!

@abstractacus1598 Год назад

When I studied archaeology I went to southern France and visited a number of caves. Of course the animal depictions were incredible but I was struck by just how many abstract designs there were. Some of these 'symbols' were repeated in other caves, which I interpreted as showing there must have been at least a regional alignment with such images. I wrote up a report at the time 2005 and wanted to study cave art, especially the abstractions, but unfortunately I had more pressing things to concentrate on and so never continued, though I still try to keep up with the subject. My guess at the time was that some of these designs were signifiers of tribal or other identity but there was something deeper going on I felt too.

@l.siqueira8742 Год назад

I remember reading in a Karen Armstrong's book that cave paintings like these were not just for a practical use, but probably for a symbolical one for two reasons. First, they represented fauna that wasn't common near the places they were made. Also, these figures were painted in places that were pretty unacessible, what allows us to ponder that to paint was something very important, maybe sacred to our ancestors. If they were painting just for "practical purposes", why not represent things that were more common to they and in places of more easy circulation? They putted a lot of effort in it. Thanks John. I love this subject! Can you imagine finding cave paintings in another planet?

@brick6347 Год назад

I'm lucky enough to have visited a few of the caves in France that are closed to the public (I studied archaeology); it was the aurochs that moved me. I used to live in Grodzisk Mazowieckie, just a few kilometres from Jaktorów where the last Auroch died in 1627. To see herds of them beautifully painted, then a sad mossy old stone marking their demise is pretty moving. You read about mass extinctions in books, but that really brought it home. Mammoths, woolly rhinos etc. are fairly abstract, I _know_ my ancestors must've seen them and hunted them, but it's foggy. It's like saying one of my ancestors was an ape in Africa a million years. I know this is true, but it's intangible. Be to know the exact date aurochs vanished and at the same time also be able to directly trace my lineage to before that... that is something else. There are people alive now whose grandparents were born in the 1700s, possibly just 4 or 5 generations removed.

@baarbacoa Год назад

Being able to enter one of these caves is a dream of mine. You must be excited that there are efforts to resurrect the Aurochs?

@brick6347 Год назад

@@baarbacoa I am actually not that excited by resurrecting species. From what I've seen they've bred a cow that superficially resembles an auroch, but is still basically a cow. Granted cows were domesticated from aurochs, so they share most of the DNA... but is it an auroch? If I breed dogs to look like wolves, are they wolves? I'd much rather the money was spent protecting extant species and their habitats, for example the European bison which very nearly suffered the same fate (it was extinct in the wild by 1920s, but there were a few captive animals left and thankfully they've been reintroduced to much of Europe). It's sad that we can't undo the past, but we can't. But we can avoid making the same mistakes again.

@baarbacoa Год назад

@@brick6347 I think I read that scientists have samples of actual Aurochs genetic material. And they are actually crossbreeding varieties of cattle that carry relatively large amounts of Aurochs DNA. And ultimately they hope to breed cattle that are very close to Aurochs genetically. I suspect though that by the time that they succeed, they will have created actual Aurochs from the DNA they have.

I also suspect that these inscriptions are learning devices for the children in the same way a school classroom displays the alphabet and numbers on the wall today. It would be of vital importance for parents to teach this as basic fundamental knowledge to their kids in a world where death was common and old age was rare.

John has many talents, but one area where he really excels (and that might be a team effort, of course) is just asking extremely insightful questions.

@jackesioto Год назад

Some cave paintings may have been the first ''calendars''' on Earth! Knowing the seasons wasn't just vital for farming, it was also helpful when hunting. The earliest humans would have certainly had some inklings of time, they would have noticed the day-night cycle, that the weather changed drastically throughout the year, that the Moon's phases happen in a cycle, migration patterns of the animals they hunted, and certain other things.

Re: handprints in caves, I looked at it and immediately thought of the hand signs my brothers and I used to use when hunting deer. Gotta be super quiet or they'll spook. And then thought, if you have hand signs, how do you communicate to people who aren't here yet? You put your hand up to the wall and you make a sign with paint, where the people who aren't here yet can see it. The vocabulary's limited to whatever you use hand signs for, but hunting favors development of a sign vocabulary because hunters have to be quiet. And hunting seems to be the exact thing they were focused on communicating to people who weren't there yet. It's my opinion that you are probably looking at the earliest beginnings of the idea of writing.

@andrewtovey7633 Год назад

A fascinating episode, and I love that you’re branching out into such a diversity of topics lately. One thought that comes to mind as an Australian though. To suggest that these examples of European rock art are ‘the beginning of recorded history’ is perhaps a somewhat Eurocentric perspective. They are roughly 15-20k years old. But what about Australian Aboriginal rock art? I suspect that no one has studied it in the way that Ben and his colleagues have, but perhaps there might be evidence of signs there too. The thing here is that despite evidence of Aboriginal culture in Arnhem Land going back over 50,000 years, our oldest rock art is 17,500, which is the same ballpark as the European art. However, there is a major difference between these two continents. Australia has been climatically stable for that entire past 50,000 and Aboriginal culture has been extremely steady state for that whole time. So if there was evidence of signs here then it’s reasonable to extrapolate them right back - which would significantly change that Eurocentric perspective. Whereas the European climate fluctuated significantly with the ice age and human culture there was very unstable and bottle necked a couple of times. So it’s much harder to extrapolate anything further back. Just food for thought anyway

@Zebred2001 Год назад

It seems to me that the next step is to do a thorough survey of anthropological data on hunter-gatherer groups that have survived down to our own day and studies. Surely somewhere they would have practices analogous to those proposed here.

@jackesioto Год назад

Indeed, there could be subtle anatomical differences between members of today's sedentary, centralized societies and the hunter-gatherer tribal societies that remain.

@SoApost Год назад

If these guests are right that the paintings are a hunting calendar, then the analogue would be an existing hunting group on a country size hunting area with more than one staple large game they hunt and use a system of caves or rock faces as seasonal base camps for hunts. The known existing areas those living analogues could exist would be Tanzania/Kenya and Australia.

@Eckendenker Год назад

Native North Americans have a very obvious analogue. They weren't strict hunter gatherers for the last thousand of years but still offer a glimpse of what that would have looked like. They simply link moon phases to changes in their environment. The full moon where the river is frozen, the full moon where the frogs croak, the full moon where squash are ripe, the full moon where the beavers start hibernating... Almost makes you feel lucky, that earth has a moon, to make such a neat and handy calender for humanity.

@Zebred2001 Год назад

I guess I needed to be clearer. Is there any anthropological information of hunter-gatherer groups down to our own day that make marks like this specifically for the recording of months or animal kills etc.

I really enjoyed this episode. It shows that humans have always sought a way to determine patterns and communicate that information to others. We are the inheritors of a tradition that started with making fire and stone tools to making AI, mapping the human genome, cracking the atom and exploring our solar system. I hope that further studies show us more about how our ancient ancestors understood and communicated about their world. Too me, putting a hand image on a wall says "I am here" just like the golden records on the Voyager probes or the plaques on the Pioneer 11 and 12.

True! In many ways our ancestors were just as knowledgeable as us, it's just that they focused on more practical matters.

They were, in their world, the equivalent of space travelers.

@WaxPaper 10 месяцев назад

I wonder if the complexity of language plays a role in that. If the Sapir Whorf hypothesis is correct, that might mean that intellectual advancement hinged on linguistic maturity. I mean, some things will transcend that; people were probably curious and had sparks of insight 200,000 years ago. But I think if that hypothesis is right, the intellectual divide between us and the first anatomically-identical humans might be greater than we'd imagine. It might have been a very different existence, even existentially.

"...there's a chess program called AlphaZero that uses AI principles plays chess much better than human beings and very exciting chess it's not boring chess..." The "exciting, not boring" part is the biggest breakthrough, as it relates to chess; as it relates to computer science, there's plenty more, no doubt. Asked about playing against chess engines, then World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen replied that "it's like playing against an idiot that wins every time". He didn't specify, but, based on when the comment was made, he was probably talking about Stockfish. Going from "idiot that wins every time" to "quite clever player that wins every time" makes a difference to its utility within chess. It may also be a reflection of a greater commonality between AlphaZero and human cognition; the exciting thing may be that we recognize our own cognition in that of AlphaZero.
