Dr. Miano is the real deal. I love that we can still learn from ancient technology to use in the modern day.
….Good choice on the shirt👍🏼
Advanced ancient tech confirmed🎉
Number 9 just blew my mind, I love it. I can think of at least two people at work who would surely find that interesting.
Awesome – even the commercial was interesting! Thanks!
How about reading 2600BCE as “BCE 2600”? This too would greatly help in understanding the dates in a video and avoid confusion with CE
Thanks, Dr Miano.
I really thought the discovery of the secret recipe for Roman concrete would be much bigger news… superior to our present-day concrete, I’d think this is HUGE
Just imagine very carefully covering up your mistakes only for someone to come along 3000 years later and reveal them – and you thought no one would ever notice …
I waited 15 hours to watch? … I was like, "how did I miss that!" Thanks much for the vid.
im pretty sure you heard of the mysterious "missing" 3 centuries between 600-900 AD that the german historian Heribert Illig claims to be the case ("phantom-time" ) – maybe a video on that topic would be of interest for your audience, just saying…
Danke!
Hello🤗
I think the magnetic dating method will have the greatest long-term impact, but I love anything new about the Hittites.
oh gosh that Ptolemy discovery! How many ancient texts did we lose because medieval monks erased them to write something "more important" instead DX DX Awesome that we have a technique for recovering them now!!!
Another great vid. Every year we get to see further and further into the past. Exciting
10:35 – wait Doc – I thought you said that any suggestion that 'cultural sphere's' interacted was purely 'pseudo-archeological' SUPPRESS!! SUPPRESS!!!
Let's hope Dr Miano's Greatest Archaeological & Greatest Historical Discoveries become annual events to look forward to every December/January.
Meanwhile, here's a future wish list:
1. Old Tall Tales A:
An archaeological DNA investigation of the age structure of the shepherding population of the hinterlands of the Eastern Mediterranean city states from around the end of the Bronze Age and the arrival of the Sea Peoples. I'm not expecting confirmation of the longevity of the prophets of the Book of Genesis.
2. Old Tall Tales B:
An archaeological DNA investigation of the stature of the Greeks of the Bronze Age and earlier. Again, I'm not expecting confirmation that giants ever existed.
3. Decipherment of the cuneiform tablet written in the newly found Indo-European language:
I'm half expecting it's a dialect of Hittite.
4. Further investigation of any archaeological remains of the language and iconography (heraldry?) of the Picts:
The Picts seem to me to be part of the pre-Roman, pre-Irish, original Indo-European British (Celtic) population that once inhabited the whole island of Britain.
5. Re-examination of the conclusions drawn from the layout and orientation of ancient sites about calanders and astronomy:
Have such conclusions been examined for coincidence, and downright statistical manipulation? (Akin to P-hacking, etc.)
6. A comprehensive overview of Ptolomy's maps:
I presume the extant maps are copies of copies. Did the copyists adhere to Ptolomy's geometrical mapping framework, or did they just copy "by eye"? Did the accuracy deteriorate from copy to copy?
i love learning about ancient history. i love Greek/Roman Mythology
Curious at the 20:30 mark. "Dated between 1650 and 1200 BCE" is a phrase that can be taken two ways. Is it a set of tablets with similar dates, but the dating has a wide range of error or is it a set of tablets with good dating where one is 1650, one 1200, and everything in between. I have seen this several times in videos from many authors when talking about the range of carbon dating of multiple objects.
Great video.
good one, thx
And yet the Yonich Manuscript is still a mystery…… These scholars need to get AI working on that monster.
Has there been any of the same kind of DNA sequencing done on Otzi been done on any early Roman finds? Is is possible? I understand that Italian Alps are a long way from Latium and this area was inhabited by Celts in Roman times but, it draws parallels to the Roman myth of Trojan origins.
So interesting…thanks!
Dr. You said advanced . You forgot to say comparing to…. dont be historical x, please
That is some of most wonderful information. I always love hearing new tools and methods used to find ancient things.
Awesome.
N.19 I always assumed the Picts were celts, more or less. Does this discovery challenge such idea? If so on what level": genetic, language, material culture?
N. 14 That's not new. At least here in Italy that was know years ago (I think more than a decade), linking him more closely to moder Sardinian than local alpine population.
As someone who has mixed mortar for masonry, quicklime/slaked lime tends to make concrete mortar weaker, but more workable. A definite tradeoff.
So glad I found your channel. I love this shit!!!! 💯. #6 magnetic bricks blows my mind! Dating non-organic artifacts! How is that not number one.
Wish you had Short Videos of each discovery so I could share the knowledge via text.
