1
00:00:41,220 --> 00:00:43,980
The Guanches were the first known inhabitants

2
00:00:43,980 --> 00:00:47,790
of the Cary Islands, off the coast of northwest Africa,

3
00:00:47,790 --> 00:00:50,315
But its true origins have long been a mystery.

4
00:00:50,315 --> 00:00:52,140
To the archaeologists.

5
00:00:52,140 --> 00:00:54,240
They were accomplished astronomers.

6
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,390
and for some their mummification rituals linked them

7
00:00:57,390 --> 00:00:59,190
To the ancient Egyptians.

8
00:00:59,190 --> 00:01:02,340
While for others their legends suggest that they could even be

9
00:01:02,340 --> 00:01:05,460
surviving inhabitants of Atlantis.

10
00:01:05,460 --> 00:01:08,430
New scientific evidence may have uncovered the truth about these

11
00:01:08,430 --> 00:01:09,660
Mysterious people.

12
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,595
Recently, archaeological excavations revealed

13
00:01:13,595 --> 00:01:17,070
that the inhabitants of the Canary Islands traded with Rome

14
00:01:17,070 --> 00:01:20,880
and new DNA tests have shed some light on the origins

15
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:21,900
of the population.

16
00:01:23,940 --> 00:01:26,460
The Canary Islands are an autonomous community

17
00:01:26,460 --> 00:01:30,540
of Spain which consists of an archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean,

18
00:01:30,540 --> 00:01:33,120
southwest of the Iberian Peninsula,

19
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,510
and 76 miles off the coast of Morocco.

20
00:01:36,510 --> 00:01:40,290
The eight main islands are Tenerife flight from Ventura,

21
00:01:40,290 --> 00:01:43,560
Grand Canaria, Lanzarote, Palmer lag

22
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,230
The Hiro and lag.

23
00:01:47,970 --> 00:01:50,100
The Canary Islands are volcanic islands

24
00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:51,510
and are essentially the peaks

25
00:01:51,510 --> 00:01:55,530
of a huge volcanic mountain range now partially submerged.

26
00:01:56,550 --> 00:01:58,590
The first historical record of the islands

27
00:01:58,590 --> 00:02:01,685
What has been discovered so far is from the 1st Roman century.

28
00:02:01,685 --> 00:02:03,930
The writer Pliny the Younger.

29
00:02:03,930 --> 00:02:07,530
Apparently, Dubber sent an expedition to the islands.

30
00:02:07,530 --> 00:02:10,170
ii, the Roman Klein king of new media

31
00:02:10,170 --> 00:02:13,320
and Mauritania around the year 30 BC. c.

32
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,050
under the Roman Catholic Republic and the Empire.

33
00:02:16,050 --> 00:02:20,430
NewMedia comprised a part of Africa north of the Sahara,

34
00:02:20,430 --> 00:02:23,820
Roughly corresponding to modern western Tunisia.

35
00:02:23,820 --> 00:02:25,890
and Eastern Algeria.

36
00:02:25,890 --> 00:02:27,395
It was during this expedition

37
00:02:27,395 --> 00:02:30,090
that the islands got their name from the Canary Islands

38
00:02:30,090 --> 00:02:33,120
because of the multitude of large dogs that were there.

39
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,310
The Roman word Canis means dog.

40
00:02:36,180 --> 00:02:38,975
After the fall of the Roman Empire, we heard nothing

41
00:02:38,975 --> 00:02:41,160
of the islands for hundreds of years until

42
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,100
Around the year 1000 AD. C., where the Arabs landed.

43
00:02:44,100 --> 00:02:47,250
and traded with the inhabitants of Gran Canaria.

44
00:02:47,250 --> 00:02:51,990
In the year 1150 AD. C., the Arab geographer Mohammed Al Idrisi

45
00:02:51,990 --> 00:02:54,630
compiled the first official account of the population

46
00:02:54,630 --> 00:02:57,780
of the islands, which consisted of brief descriptions

47
00:02:57,780 --> 00:02:59,770
Of sailors and beads.

48
00:02:59,770 --> 00:03:04,275
At that time, during the 15th and 16th centuries, Spain

49
00:03:04,275 --> 00:03:06,855
and Portugal began to colonize the Americas

50
00:03:06,855 --> 00:03:09,490
and Africa stopping in the Canary Islands.

51
00:03:09,490 --> 00:03:12,850
On the way, when they arrived at the Canary Islands,

52
00:03:12,850 --> 00:03:14,470
They encountered a culture

53
00:03:14,470 --> 00:03:18,430
that resembled the Neolithic cultures of prehistoric Europe.

54
00:03:18,430 --> 00:03:19,870
Spanish conquest complete

55
00:03:19,870 --> 00:03:23,350
Construction of the islands was completed in 1496.

56
00:03:23,350 --> 00:03:25,900
and became a vital Spanish base at sea.

57
00:03:25,900 --> 00:03:27,580
roots in the Americas.

58
00:03:27,580 --> 00:03:31,395
As a result of Spanish colonization, introduced diseases

59
00:03:31,395 --> 00:03:32,980
by the European conquerors

60
00:03:32,980 --> 00:03:35,440
and the slave trade by the native Ches

61
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,290
of the island chain were decimated, losing

62
00:03:38,290 --> 00:03:39,400
Much of their culture.

63
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,220
In the process. In the 19th century,

64
00:03:42,220 --> 00:03:45,550
The canaries had even lost their language when it arrived

65
00:03:45,550 --> 00:03:47,980
Ser reemplazado por español.

66
00:03:47,980 --> 00:03:50,140
However, there are still some reminders.

67
00:03:50,140 --> 00:03:52,600
of the once prosperous culture of the Gans

68
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:53,890
of the Canary Islands.

69
00:03:54,910 --> 00:03:58,810
The Ches, the Ches were the first known inhabitants

70
00:03:58,810 --> 00:04:01,605
de las Islas Canarias, el pueblo indígena.

71
00:04:01,605 --> 00:04:04,930
When the Spanish arrived there in the 15th century,

72
00:04:04,930 --> 00:04:06,730
They lived mainly in natural caves.

73
00:04:06,730 --> 00:04:09,220
or sometimes they built low stone huts

74
00:04:09,220 --> 00:04:11,620
and small fortifications.

75
00:04:11,620 --> 00:04:13,270
The Ches lived from agriculture.

76
00:04:13,270 --> 00:04:16,840
and the pastoralist had a diet that included milk, goat, pig,

77
00:04:16,840 --> 00:04:20,170
and fruits and dressed mainly in goatskin, leather, tunics,

78
00:04:20,170 --> 00:04:22,870
and vests made from coated reeds.

79
00:04:22,870 --> 00:04:24,700
Archaeological research suggests

80
00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:27,825
who were organized in a tribal society governed

81
00:04:27,825 --> 00:04:29,260
by chiefs or kings.

82
00:04:30,310 --> 00:04:32,500
The goche were not expert sailors and

83
00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:34,150
Therefore, the culture of each

84
00:04:34,150 --> 00:04:36,790
of the Canary Islands developed differently.

85
00:04:36,790 --> 00:04:38,380
In Tene, for example,

86
00:04:38,380 --> 00:04:42,520
The Gus civilization was divided into nine small kingdoms.

87
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,110
Each one directed by a sentence.

88
00:04:44,110 --> 00:04:48,250
The Mensey Caves were also used to store grain.

89
00:04:48,250 --> 00:04:51,670
and as temples and some are still preserved today

90
00:04:51,670 --> 00:04:54,280
and demonstrate the sophisticated astronomical

91
00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:56,290
knowledge of Goche.

92
00:04:56,290 --> 00:04:59,080
The most impressive thing about these structures is the risk.

93
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,990
Al Qaeda, a vast cultural site that encompasses

94
00:05:01,990 --> 00:05:06,550
around 18,000 hectares on the island of Gran Canaria.

95
00:05:06,550 --> 00:05:08,230
The archaeological site consists

96
00:05:08,230 --> 00:05:12,250
of 21 caves containing significant rock art

97
00:05:12,250 --> 00:05:14,620
Relate to magical or religious beliefs.

98
00:05:14,620 --> 00:05:16,150
and fertility rituals.

99
00:05:17,230 --> 00:05:20,440
One of these caves has a small opening in its ceiling.

100
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,040
where the light enters from the summer solstice to autumn,

101
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,890
It allowed sunlight and moonlight to enter the caves.

102
00:05:26,890 --> 00:05:30,340
and illuminates symbolic engravings on the walls.

103
00:05:30,340 --> 00:05:32,620
That is why many archaeologists think that

104
00:05:32,620 --> 00:05:34,840
That risk could have been used by Al Qaeda.

105
00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:37,810
by the prehistoric inhabitants as a primitive,

106
00:05:37,810 --> 00:05:39,130
astronomical clock.

107
00:05:40,180 --> 00:05:41,830
Over the years, there have been a number of

108
00:05:41,830 --> 00:05:43,990
of the fines imposed in the Canary Islands,

109
00:05:43,990 --> 00:05:47,890
which suggested some type of contact with the Roman world.

110
00:05:47,890 --> 00:05:49,450
In 1964,

111
00:05:49,450 --> 00:05:53,290
The Roman amphora, a container for storing objects, was discovered in the waters of

112
00:05:53,290 --> 00:05:55,690
Lanzarote, and since then,

113
00:05:55,690 --> 00:05:58,460
Other examples have been found underwater.

114
00:05:58,460 --> 00:06:01,280
However, none of them could be dated with certainty.

115
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:04,400
However, a few years ago excavations were carried out on the island.

116
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,000
of Lanzarote discovered the first securely dated evidence

117
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,400
of Roman trade with the islands.

118
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,810
Research at the prehistoric settlement of El Berro

119
00:06:14,810 --> 00:06:18,410
Around one hundred fragments of Roman ceramics were obtained, nine pieces

120
00:06:18,410 --> 00:06:20,810
metal and a piece of glass.

121
00:06:20,810 --> 00:06:23,690
The artifacts were found in archaeological levels,

122
00:06:23,690 --> 00:06:26,270
which indicate that they date among the first

123
00:06:26,270 --> 00:06:30,380
and legends of Atlantis from the 4th century AD.

124
00:06:30,380 --> 00:06:32,240
and ancient Egypt.

125
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,970
There are numerous legends around the native peoples.

126
00:06:34,970 --> 00:06:36,500
of the Canary Islands.

127
00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:39,560
Some believe that they were somehow related to the Celts.

128
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,410
or perhaps even the Vikings, others,

129
00:06:42,410 --> 00:06:45,230
that the cones descended from the inhabitants

130
00:06:45,230 --> 00:06:47,690
from the mythical land of Atlantis.

131
00:06:47,690 --> 00:06:50,780
In this theory, Cape Verde, the Azores, Madeira

132
00:06:50,780 --> 00:06:53,210
and the Canary Islands would be the remains

133
00:06:53,210 --> 00:06:56,030
of this legendary sunken continent.

134
00:06:56,030 --> 00:06:58,490
A more recent theory connects the first settlers

135
00:06:58,490 --> 00:07:02,570
from the Canary Islands with the Burber Canarian tribe.

136
00:07:02,570 --> 00:07:06,205
The Gus have also been linked to the ancient Egyptians, perhaps

137
00:07:06,205 --> 00:07:08,300
as a colony of that civilization

138
00:07:08,300 --> 00:07:11,270
for their custom of mummifying their dead.

139
00:07:11,270 --> 00:07:14,000
It is a fact that the Goche use similar methods.

140
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,880
to the ancient Egyptians by preserving the remains

141
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,190
of its high-ranking citizens.

142
00:07:19,190 --> 00:07:21,440
After the mummification process,

143
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,980
The bodies were buried underground or inside caves.

144
00:07:24,980 --> 00:07:27,710
Unfortunately, many of these mummies were stolen.

145
00:07:27,710 --> 00:07:30,140
or looted by later grave robbers.

146
00:07:30,140 --> 00:07:33,740
Although some have managed to survive, the mummy

147
00:07:33,740 --> 00:07:37,400
The Madrid mummy is perhaps the best preserved of the GU mummies

148
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,700
since his careful embalming kept his organs intact

149
00:07:40,700 --> 00:07:43,160
and even kept the man's hair.

150
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,430
The man who died in his early thirties was mummified

151
00:07:46,430 --> 00:07:50,570
Between the 11th and 13th centuries AD, only a few centuries.

152
00:07:50,570 --> 00:07:53,210
Before the Spanish invaded the Canary Islands

153
00:07:54,110 --> 00:07:55,790
New DNA evidence.

154
00:07:56,660 --> 00:07:58,975
In June 2019, it was announced

155
00:07:58,975 --> 00:08:01,130
that DNA studies had resolved many

156
00:08:01,130 --> 00:08:02,780
of the pending issues

157
00:08:02,780 --> 00:08:05,390
about the origins of the Guanches.

158
00:08:05,390 --> 00:08:08,570
Liverpool researcher Dr Linus Gerland Flink

159
00:08:08,570 --> 00:08:11,390
John Moore University in the United Kingdom, which was part

160
00:08:11,390 --> 00:08:14,420
of the research team affirmed previous studies

161
00:08:14,420 --> 00:08:17,990
of the ES was based on unique genetic markers such as

162
00:08:17,990 --> 00:08:21,740
such as mitochondrial DNA and Y chromosomes.

163
00:08:21,740 --> 00:08:25,160
These markers often lack the necessary analytical precision

164
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,550
to resolve finer levels of population history.

165
00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:32,660
By sequencing autosomal DNA we obtained unique information

166
00:08:32,660 --> 00:08:35,840
to the ancestry and origin of these populations.

167
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,610
The team of researchers generated the whole genome sequence data.

168
00:08:40,610 --> 00:08:44,240
and mitochondrial genomes of 11 Guanche individuals

169
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,690
From archaeological sites in the greater area.

170
00:08:47,690 --> 00:08:50,990
and 10 lead authors of the study, Dr.

171
00:08:50,990 --> 00:08:53,120
Ricardo Rodríguez Varela,

172
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,370
A Stockholm University researcher explains the results

173
00:08:56,370 --> 00:08:59,010
from the team's fascinating study

174
00:08:59,010 --> 00:09:02,460
generating the first autosomal genetic data from these

175
00:09:02,460 --> 00:09:05,820
populations, we can conclusively demonstrate

176
00:09:05,820 --> 00:09:08,250
that the Gus were more closely related

177
00:09:08,250 --> 00:09:11,555
to modern North Africans of Berber descent who

178
00:09:11,555 --> 00:09:13,560
To any other population that we include

179
00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:16,620
to make comparisons that support previous studies,

180
00:09:16,620 --> 00:09:18,690
but adding more details and nuances.

181
00:09:19,590 --> 00:09:22,620
The study was also able to show that modern inhabitants

182
00:09:22,620 --> 00:09:25,440
from Gran Canaria inherited between 16

183
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,985
and 31% of their genomic ancestry comes from the Ches,

184
00:09:29,985 --> 00:09:33,720
Berber spread across North Africa more than 3,000 years ago.

185
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,500
Years ago, occupying what is now the area of Libya

186
00:09:37,500 --> 00:09:39,990
To the free girl Sahara Rosa,

187
00:09:39,990 --> 00:09:42,930
geneticist from the University of La Laguna

188
00:09:42,930 --> 00:09:45,630
those who participated in the research said about the results.

189
00:09:45,630 --> 00:09:49,410
Thanks to DNA analysis we have been able to dispel the idea

190
00:09:49,410 --> 00:09:52,500
that the Guanches were practically as tall as Vikings,

191
00:09:52,500 --> 00:09:54,120
blonde and blue eyes.

192
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,880
Everything indicates that they came from North Africa.

193
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,300
and were physically similar to the white-skinned Berbers.

194
00:10:00,300 --> 00:10:02,760
prone to olive complexion

195
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,740
and brown eyes that could be light in color.

196
00:10:04,740 --> 00:10:07,620
In some cases, clichés and legends.

197
00:10:07,620 --> 00:10:10,080
Despite the former inhabitants

198
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,470
of the Canary Islands were not so different from those of today,

199
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,070
But the question is, if the original inhabitants

200
00:10:17,070 --> 00:10:20,100
of the Canary Islands came from North Africa, like

201
00:10:20,100 --> 00:10:22,020
And when did they arrive?

202
00:10:22,020 --> 00:10:23,250
Archaeologists believed

203
00:10:23,250 --> 00:10:26,130
that there were two great migrations, the first

204
00:10:26,130 --> 00:10:28,260
about 2,500 years ago

205
00:10:28,260 --> 00:10:31,260
and the second around the 1st century AD.

206
00:10:31,260 --> 00:10:34,410
when North Africa was part of the Roman Empire.

207
00:10:34,410 --> 00:10:36,270
It is believed that they made the crossing in

208
00:10:36,270 --> 00:10:38,010
relatively small ships.

209
00:10:38,010 --> 00:10:40,920
Although no remains of these have ever been found.

210
00:10:48,990 --> 00:10:51,480
In February 2020, it was announced

211
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:52,895
that the mummified remains

212
00:10:52,895 --> 00:10:55,620
Of 72 individuals were discovered

213
00:10:55,620 --> 00:10:59,135
By amateur archaeologists using a drone in a cave

214
00:10:59,135 --> 00:11:00,720
in the Grandin area.

215
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,290
A rose Hema Gonzales who made the incredible discovery,

216
00:11:04,290 --> 00:11:06,090
We said we were flying a drone

217
00:11:06,090 --> 00:11:08,280
and we took some photographs of the cave.

218
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,740
It is in a very difficult place to access.

219
00:11:10,740 --> 00:11:13,560
and you need to climb a cliff to reach the site.

220
00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:15,510
People thought the photos were fake.

221
00:11:15,510 --> 00:11:18,270
For all the bones there were, but they weren't fake.

222
00:11:18,270 --> 00:11:19,890
and the bones are believed to belong

223
00:11:19,890 --> 00:11:22,410
to the mummified remains of Goen.

224
00:11:22,410 --> 00:11:24,810
Archaeologist Verónica Alberto

225
00:11:24,810 --> 00:11:27,390
and the cultural advisor Javier Vela

226
00:11:27,390 --> 00:11:30,900
confirmed the discovery stating that the cave dates back to

227
00:11:30,900 --> 00:11:33,300
Between the 8th and 10th centuries AD.

228
00:11:41,255 --> 00:11:42,600
A few years ago,

229
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,630
Newspapers around the world carried the story.

230
00:11:45,630 --> 00:11:50,160
that the ancient history researcher Robert Sarma has located the

231
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:51,960
lost continent of Atlantis,

232
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,060
from the Mediterranean island of Cyprus.

233
00:11:55,060 --> 00:11:58,630
The sonar scan apparently revealed artificial structures in the

234
00:11:58,630 --> 00:12:00,520
water around the island.

235
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,030
The SMAs are believed to be one mile below sea level

236
00:12:04,030 --> 00:12:08,380
that the Mediterranean basin was flooded in the year 9,000 BC. C.,

237
00:12:08,380 --> 00:12:11,020
that submerged a rectangular land mass,

238
00:12:11,020 --> 00:12:13,330
which according to him was Atlantis.

239
00:12:14,260 --> 00:12:17,440
Although archaeologists of the time dismissed Samma's claims

240
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,280
out of control, new evidence suggests that there may indeed be a

241
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,930
Ancient city submerged in the waters surrounding Cyprus

242
00:12:25,930 --> 00:12:27,820
almost every year without fail.

243
00:12:27,820 --> 00:12:31,360
The incumbent Atlantis discovered Blair from several sides.

244
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,580
Newspapers from all over the world.

245
00:12:33,580 --> 00:12:36,645
In fact, the range of hypothetical locations

246
00:12:36,645 --> 00:12:38,620
Because Atlantis is amazing.

247
00:12:38,620 --> 00:12:40,120
Flow and civilization

248
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,210
Late Bronze Age Crete supposedly destroyed

249
00:12:43,210 --> 00:12:45,645
by a colossal earthquake on the neighboring island

250
00:12:45,645 --> 00:12:47,890
from Thera, present-day Santorini

251
00:12:47,890 --> 00:12:50,770
Around 1450 BC. C. it was believed for a long time

252
00:12:50,770 --> 00:12:54,520
having had an indirect influence on Plato's Atlantis.

253
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,575
However, research on Late Bronze Age Crete has shown that

254
00:12:58,575 --> 00:13:02,115
May the Manone civilization continue to flourish for a long time

255
00:13:02,115 --> 00:13:03,670
After the theory and the earthquake.

256
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,350
This wide range of very different theories has contributed

257
00:13:08,350 --> 00:13:11,710
to the skepticism of many researchers who believe

258
00:13:11,710 --> 00:13:15,160
that Plato's Atlantis was simply a political allegory

259
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,410
Designed to glorify Athens

260
00:13:17,410 --> 00:13:20,620
like the perfect state fighting against a decadent state

261
00:13:20,620 --> 00:13:23,560
and the greedy Atlantic empire.

262
00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:26,680
For them, history begins and ends with Plato.

263
00:13:26,680 --> 00:13:28,750
Solon never visited Egypt

264
00:13:28,750 --> 00:13:31,660
and I heard the story of the priests in SaaS.

265
00:13:31,660 --> 00:13:35,890
They reason that Plato located Atlantis in the Atlantic.

266
00:13:35,890 --> 00:13:37,810
Beyond the Pillars of Hercules

267
00:13:37,810 --> 00:13:41,980
because in his time this vastness did not represent the limit

268
00:13:41,980 --> 00:13:43,960
of the world known to the Greeks.

269
00:13:44,830 --> 00:13:48,070
Atlantis researchers, of course, would strongly disagree.

270
00:13:48,070 --> 00:13:49,690
with this conclusion.

271
00:13:49,690 --> 00:13:54,070
In fact, one of them, the Iranian-American architect Robert Smat,

272
00:13:54,070 --> 00:13:57,130
He thinks he knows exactly where Atlantis is.

273
00:13:58,270 --> 00:14:01,540
Did Robert Smat find Atlantis off the coast of Cyprus?

274
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,490
Smat first made headlines in November 2004 when

275
00:14:06,490 --> 00:14:08,410
The newspapers published the story that

276
00:14:08,410 --> 00:14:09,645
After almost 10 years

277
00:14:09,645 --> 00:14:13,030
research using ocean mapping technology

278
00:14:13,030 --> 00:14:15,250
and stories from ancient texts,

279
00:14:15,250 --> 00:14:18,400
He had located Atlantis in Cyprus.

280
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,220
Salmat was quoted as saying that this is going to happen.

281
00:14:21,220 --> 00:14:23,170
to rewrite the history books.

282
00:14:23,170 --> 00:14:25,815
We are ready to make the greatest archaeological discovery

283
00:14:25,815 --> 00:14:27,760
discovery of all time.

284
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,770
He stated that around the year 9,000 BC. C. the Mediterranean basin was

285
00:14:32,770 --> 00:14:35,440
flooded in a deluge, the submerged,

286
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:40,270
rectangular man-made site, which he believed was Atlantis.

287
00:14:40,270 --> 00:14:43,690
The lost civilization was apparently located at about 5,000 feet

288
00:14:43,690 --> 00:14:45,700
below sea level, 50 miles

289
00:14:45,700 --> 00:14:49,000
or something like that off the southeast coast of Cyprus.

290
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,700
Sarma and his team had carried out deep sea sonar

291
00:14:52,700 --> 00:14:56,780
scan, which indicated artificial structures on a submerged bottom

292
00:14:56,780 --> 00:15:00,590
hill, including a wall almost three miles long,

293
00:15:00,590 --> 00:15:03,980
A walled hilltop and deep trenches.

294
00:15:03,980 --> 00:15:08,870
The six-day expedition to Sarma cost about $200,000

295
00:15:08,870 --> 00:15:12,800
and was partly funded by the Cprt Tourist organization.

296
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:17,090
At the time, Samat was quoted as saying of his discoveries:

297
00:15:17,090 --> 00:15:18,260
It's a miracle.

298
00:15:18,260 --> 00:15:20,840
We found these walls as their location

299
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,500
and the lengths exactly match the description of the Acropolis.

300
00:15:24,500 --> 00:15:28,580
of Atlantis provided by Plato in his writings.

301
00:15:28,580 --> 00:15:31,640
We cannot yet provide tangible evidence in the form of bricks.

302
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,060
and mortar, as the artifacts are still buried under various

303
00:15:35,060 --> 00:15:38,030
meters of sediment, but the circumstances

304
00:15:38,030 --> 00:15:40,820
and other evidence is irrefutable.

305
00:15:40,820 --> 00:15:45,350
My discovery will vindicate Plato in his dialogues.

306
00:15:45,350 --> 00:15:49,730
Plato provides objective clues about what Atlantis was like.

307
00:15:49,730 --> 00:15:50,840
I have matched everything

308
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:55,155
but two of the 45 tracks with the area around Cyprus

309
00:15:55,155 --> 00:15:57,740
make it the biggest coincidence in history

310
00:15:57,740 --> 00:16:01,880
of the world or we have found Plato's Atlantis

311
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,825
Plato's account is so detailed that it is possible

312
00:16:04,825 --> 00:16:08,300
to make city plans based on your description.

313
00:16:08,300 --> 00:16:11,900
These match exactly the anti-dilution maps of Cyprus.

314
00:16:11,900 --> 00:16:14,750
as discovered through oceanographic mapping.

315
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,010
SMAs had actually revealed their discoveries last year

316
00:16:19,010 --> 00:16:22,640
before making headlines with a book titled

317
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,670
The discovery of Atlantis, a surprising case

318
00:16:25,670 --> 00:16:27,140
for the island of Cyprus.

319
00:16:28,130 --> 00:16:31,730
At a 2004 press conference to announce his discoveries,

320
00:16:31,730 --> 00:16:36,295
Sarma was challenged by Michelle Morso, a French geologist

321
00:16:36,295 --> 00:16:38,720
Who lives in Cyprus to provide evidence

322
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,000
that the Mediterranean had flooded a lot,

323
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,150
much more recent than the conventionally accepted

324
00:16:44,150 --> 00:16:45,980
5 million years.

325
00:16:45,980 --> 00:16:48,710
Unfortunately, Salma couldn't

326
00:16:48,710 --> 00:16:52,550
to provide any evidence to support your claims.

327
00:16:52,550 --> 00:16:53,900
Ides Deposits

328
00:16:53,900 --> 00:16:55,555
and archaeologists of the Department

329
00:16:55,555 --> 00:16:59,120
of Antiquities of Cyprus said of the Salamis claims,

330
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:00,860
The latest theory must be taken

331
00:17:00,860 --> 00:17:03,560
with a very large pinch of salt.

332
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,710
Archaeologists only work with concrete evidence.

333
00:17:06,710 --> 00:17:09,055
There is no evidence to support this.

334
00:17:09,055 --> 00:17:10,670
To this hypothesis

335
00:17:10,670 --> 00:17:13,160
and we have no intention of investigating it.

336
00:17:14,150 --> 00:17:18,020
Commenting on SMA's interpretation of the sonar results,

337
00:17:18,020 --> 00:17:21,530
Many Pisans are social anthropologists in Liverpool.

338
00:17:21,530 --> 00:17:25,490
John Moore University in the United Kingdom criticized its implausible

339
00:17:25,490 --> 00:17:28,520
theories and non-scientific approach.

340
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,820
Selective interpretation is nothing more than a myopic vision.

341
00:17:31,820 --> 00:17:35,480
Reading very ambiguous and unconvincing images.

342
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,860
He said anyone with a critical eye can make out these images.

343
00:17:39,860 --> 00:17:41,450
they are too lazy

344
00:17:41,450 --> 00:17:44,030
and it is uncertain whether it is considered convincing evidence

345
00:17:44,030 --> 00:17:46,550
for any man-made structure.

346
00:17:46,550 --> 00:17:49,500
The very basis on which the deception is based is

347
00:17:49,500 --> 00:17:51,150
completely false

348
00:17:51,150 --> 00:17:52,920
According to his theory, Mr.

349
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,060
Sarma claims

350
00:17:54,060 --> 00:17:57,360
that the Mediterranean basin was flooded with a deluge

351
00:17:57,360 --> 00:17:59,460
around 9,000 BC. C.,

352
00:17:59,460 --> 00:18:02,160
that submerged a rectangular land mass

353
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,020
He believes it was Atlantis.

354
00:18:04,020 --> 00:18:06,690
The problem is that there is no evidence.

355
00:18:06,690 --> 00:18:10,320
for any large-scale flooding of the Mediterranean basin in

356
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,440
That time should not be intimidated.

357
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:18,240
Samas organized a second expedition to the site in 2006,

358
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,120
But the results of the work were inconclusive.

359
00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:23,940
He returned to Cyprus in June 2011.

360
00:18:23,940 --> 00:18:28,110
to film a documentary in support of his Atlantis theory.

361
00:18:28,110 --> 00:18:31,710
It was again supported by the Cyprus tourism organisation.

362
00:18:31,710 --> 00:18:34,320
as well as the history channel along with the number

363
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,030
from private investors.

364
00:18:36,030 --> 00:18:39,510
However, Samas appears to have made no further discoveries.

365
00:18:39,510 --> 00:18:41,850
that the supposed site of Atlantis

366
00:18:41,850 --> 00:18:44,910
and nothing has been heard from him on the subject

367
00:18:44,910 --> 00:18:46,860
Since 2013.

368
00:18:46,860 --> 00:18:49,470
New discoveries off the coast of Cyprus.

369
00:18:49,470 --> 00:18:50,670
However, the theory

370
00:18:50,670 --> 00:18:54,000
that ancient Atlantis may be submerged in waters

371
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,030
The island of Cyprus does not seem to be dead yet.

372
00:18:57,030 --> 00:19:01,740
In April 2018, the CPR newspaper announced that the Cypriot traveler

373
00:19:01,740 --> 00:19:05,310
that a chance discovery by a group of tourists had led a team

374
00:19:05,310 --> 00:19:07,560
of marine archaeologists to the site

375
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,500
Of Atlantis off the coast of pathos,

376
00:19:10,500 --> 00:19:13,440
a coastal town in southwestern Cyprus.

377
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:18,240
The team led by archaeologist Mallios Asio used sled

378
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,840
State-of-the-art soner technology to scan the ocean floor.

379
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,630
After additional deep ground radar surveillance

380
00:19:24,630 --> 00:19:27,960
and digital mapping, a team was sent to the bottom of the ocean

381
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,780
where they discovered an ancient statue of Aphrodite.

382
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,490
After an extensive analysis, Professor Costas Antos

383
00:19:35,490 --> 00:19:37,800
from the department of the University of Cyprus

384
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,470
of Antiquities authenticated the relic

385
00:19:40,470 --> 00:19:43,710
and confirmed that the extraordinary discovery was the first

386
00:19:43,710 --> 00:19:47,040
artifact that categorically demonstrated that the great

387
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,370
and the wonderful empire of Atlantis was located off the coast

388
00:19:50,370 --> 00:19:52,955
of PAO, a large-scale operation

389
00:19:52,955 --> 00:19:54,635
To recover more artifacts

390
00:19:54,635 --> 00:19:57,330
and soon the construction of the remains began.

391
00:19:57,330 --> 00:19:59,580
with a Cyprus tourism organization.

392
00:19:59,580 --> 00:20:02,520
Construction is also planned to be put out to tender.

393
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,860
of a museum of Atlantis based on pathos.

394
00:20:05,790 --> 00:20:09,930
Marius Asio commented on these spectacular discoveries.

395
00:20:09,930 --> 00:20:13,290
Over the centuries, there has been heated debate over whether

396
00:20:13,290 --> 00:20:14,880
Atlantis was a mythical city

397
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,510
o historical place with hundreds of archaeologists

398
00:20:18,510 --> 00:20:21,660
and geologists searching for its location.

399
00:20:21,660 --> 00:20:25,290
In fact, the reason I became a marine archaeologist was

400
00:20:25,290 --> 00:20:28,680
to try to discover the true location of Atlantis.

401
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,655
Having completed my life goal, I am eager

402
00:20:31,655 --> 00:20:34,170
to enjoy an early retirement.

403
00:20:34,170 --> 00:20:37,380
He added: I was amazed when I heard that about Asio.

404
00:20:37,380 --> 00:20:40,650
and his team had discovered the location of the lost city

405
00:20:40,650 --> 00:20:42,240
of Atlantis, mainly

406
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,730
because my great-grandmother always used

407
00:20:44,730 --> 00:20:47,200
to tell us that Atlantis could be found in

408
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,540
That exact point in the ocean.

409
00:20:49,540 --> 00:20:50,650
Nobody listened to her.

410
00:20:50,650 --> 00:20:53,530
Of course, it seemed the old bird was right.

411
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,710
Marina Milona, a marketer

412
00:20:56,710 --> 00:20:59,475
and tourism officer at the Cyprus Tourist Board.

413
00:20:59,475 --> 00:21:01,180
Organization added.

414
00:21:01,180 --> 00:21:03,130
It has long been rumored that the lost city

415
00:21:03,130 --> 00:21:06,460
Atlantis was located just off the coast of Cyprus.

416
00:21:06,460 --> 00:21:08,650
And we are delighted that this has been the case.

417
00:21:08,650 --> 00:21:09,820
Officially confirmed.

418
00:21:17,710 --> 00:21:18,790
The ruins of a two

419
00:21:18,790 --> 00:21:22,150
and a lost ancient civilization from half a millennia ago

420
00:21:22,150 --> 00:21:25,150
Recently found in the lake at Stan.

421
00:21:25,150 --> 00:21:26,650
Some researchers believe

422
00:21:26,650 --> 00:21:29,890
that these ancient remains may include an ancient Armenian

423
00:21:29,890 --> 00:21:32,920
Monastery where according to legend, the body

424
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,980
of Saint Matthew, one of the disciples of Jesus

425
00:21:35,980 --> 00:21:38,260
and his many relics were buried.

426
00:21:38,260 --> 00:21:40,750
Many Orthodox Christians have long believed

427
00:21:40,750 --> 00:21:42,640
that Mateo was finally buried

428
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,220
to rest here long after his death.

429
00:21:45,220 --> 00:21:48,790
Since the 19th century, Russian scientists and archaeologists,

430
00:21:48,790 --> 00:21:50,920
e investigadores de la Academia Rgis

431
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,410
of Sciences have studied ancient relics

432
00:21:53,410 --> 00:21:57,010
Around the cold and hot lake of Išić, one of the highest in the world.

433
00:21:57,010 --> 00:22:00,465
and deeper lakes located in a valley in the upper central region

434
00:22:00,465 --> 00:22:03,250
Asian mountains in the republic of Stan.

435
00:22:04,360 --> 00:22:09,040
Lake Iko is 113 miles long and 37 miles wide.

436
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:13,030
and has an area of ​​2,408 square miles.

437
00:22:13,030 --> 00:22:17,290
It reaches 2,192 feet deep.

438
00:22:17,290 --> 00:22:19,540
The lake was first mentioned by Chinese.

439
00:22:19,540 --> 00:22:21,700
and the Islamic cartographers at the beginning

440
00:22:21,700 --> 00:22:22,810
from the 8th century.

441
00:22:23,650 --> 00:22:27,070
Archaeological finds at the site include petroglyphs.

442
00:22:27,070 --> 00:22:31,540
and 3,000-year-old nomadic burial mounds known as Gans,

443
00:22:31,540 --> 00:22:34,870
first Christian monasteries and medieval cities.

444
00:22:34,870 --> 00:22:38,020
The Lakers have long fascinated researchers.

445
00:22:38,020 --> 00:22:41,590
since divers have been exploring its depths for a long time.

446
00:22:41,590 --> 00:22:43,450
as in the 1860s,

447
00:22:43,450 --> 00:22:45,670
There was a significant rise in the water level.

448
00:22:45,670 --> 00:22:48,100
of the lake at the end of the 14th century

449
00:22:48,100 --> 00:22:49,990
and beginning of the 15th.

450
00:22:49,990 --> 00:22:51,940
As a result of this, the remains

451
00:22:51,940 --> 00:22:54,820
of several ancient cultures were submerged,

452
00:22:54,820 --> 00:22:58,810
including Bronze Age settlements, saki from Sunni burials

453
00:22:58,810 --> 00:23:02,560
of the medieval cities and settlements of the 1st century BC.

454
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,870
and Turkish monuments.

455
00:23:04,870 --> 00:23:09,100
Since 1985, Professor Vladimir Fluky,

456
00:23:09,100 --> 00:23:11,140
Vice President of the Kgi Academy

457
00:23:11,140 --> 00:23:14,020
of Sciences has been directing underwater studies,

458
00:23:14,020 --> 00:23:15,490
The excavations at Isic.

459
00:23:15,490 --> 00:23:19,810
Great, and in 2010 he joined forces with National Geographic.

460
00:23:19,810 --> 00:23:23,320
to explore the lake's extraordinary history.

461
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,630
In September 2013, scientists

462
00:23:25,630 --> 00:23:28,335
and National Geographic archaeologists began

463
00:23:28,335 --> 00:23:30,490
Investigations in the lake.

464
00:23:30,490 --> 00:23:32,200
The team chose this site because

465
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,710
to its position in an important place along the legendary

466
00:23:35,710 --> 00:23:39,430
Silk Road with roots that run along its banks.

467
00:23:39,430 --> 00:23:42,490
In the past, countless merchants, caravans

468
00:23:42,490 --> 00:23:43,510
and nomadic tribes

469
00:23:43,510 --> 00:23:47,780
and the armies traveled along the 130 mile long lake leaving a

470
00:23:47,780 --> 00:23:49,850
extraordinary archaeological legacy.

471
00:23:49,850 --> 00:23:53,630
Behind the Silk Road was an ancient trade route that linked

472
00:23:53,630 --> 00:23:56,185
China with the west along which goods pass

473
00:23:56,185 --> 00:23:59,690
and ideas were transmitted between the two great civilizations

474
00:23:59,690 --> 00:24:01,220
from Rome and China

475
00:24:01,220 --> 00:24:05,060
and later among medieval European kingdoms in China

476
00:24:05,060 --> 00:24:08,120
In the Middle Ages, the area surrounding the lake was the subject of disputes.

477
00:24:08,120 --> 00:24:12,200
by two opposing lines of descendants of Genghis Khan,

478
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,315
The Eastern Mongols

479
00:24:13,315 --> 00:24:16,430
and the city where the Islamic Western Mongols live.

480
00:24:16,430 --> 00:24:19,885
The legendary Western Mongol leader Tamerlane was sent

481
00:24:19,885 --> 00:24:23,030
A battle was fought over the lake region in the early 14th century.

482
00:24:23,030 --> 00:24:25,700
Hundreds, and there are no medieval records.

483
00:24:25,700 --> 00:24:28,460
of a palace built by the conqueror on the shore of the lake.

484
00:24:28,460 --> 00:24:32,540
Is it cool? Some researchers believe it is the same structure.

485
00:24:32,540 --> 00:24:36,590
such as the 15th century palace near the city of Chomp and Atta.

486
00:24:36,590 --> 00:24:40,310
Described by the medieval Arab historian Iben Arab Sheik

487
00:24:41,540 --> 00:24:44,330
In December 2007, it was announced

488
00:24:44,330 --> 00:24:47,330
that Russian researchers had discovered important ancient remains

489
00:24:47,330 --> 00:24:51,200
Remains of a previously unknown culture beneath the lake.

490
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:52,490
According to reports,

491
00:24:52,490 --> 00:24:56,330
Russian archaeologists discovered traces of a large city

492
00:24:56,330 --> 00:24:59,240
with an area of several square kilometers.

493
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,540
In other words, it was a metropolis in its time.

494
00:25:02,540 --> 00:25:05,690
We also found eroded lateral mounds.

495
00:25:05,690 --> 00:25:07,640
In waves through the centuries

496
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,570
and numerous well-preserved artifacts, bronze battle axes,

497
00:25:11,570 --> 00:25:15,350
arrowheads, self-sharpening daggers, discarded objects

498
00:25:15,350 --> 00:25:17,505
by Smiths casting molds

499
00:25:17,505 --> 00:25:19,580
and a faceted gold bar,

500
00:25:19,580 --> 00:25:21,560
which was a monetary unit of the time.

501
00:25:22,490 --> 00:25:26,690
In August 2014, Russian media published a story

502
00:25:26,690 --> 00:25:30,650
that Tom State University divers had located another

503
00:25:30,650 --> 00:25:33,920
Previous unknown, ancient settlement below the lake.

504
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,140
Along with 200 artifacts,

505
00:25:36,140 --> 00:25:38,840
Perhaps the most fascinating find was a piece

506
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,810
of a large ceramic pot that had a seal on it,

507
00:25:41,810 --> 00:25:45,020
written in Armenian and Syrian script.

508
00:25:45,020 --> 00:25:48,080
This find may have been supporting evidence for the story.

509
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,260
that an Armenian monastery existed on this site

510
00:25:51,260 --> 00:25:52,880
medieval era.

511
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,970
According to Dimitri Gorn, who led the diving team,

512
00:25:55,970 --> 00:25:59,540
The fragment of the vessel with the inscription was truly unique.

513
00:25:59,540 --> 00:26:03,080
He added that experts are now working on identification.

514
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,000
of the writings of the seals,

515
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,330
but it is supposed to be Syrian Armenian writing.

516
00:26:08,330 --> 00:26:11,480
If this turns out to be correct, it will be further proof.

517
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,320
that there was an Armenian monastery in Isic K in the 14th century

518
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,380
century where according to legends relics are found

519
00:26:18,380 --> 00:26:20,300
of Matthew were stored.

520
00:26:20,300 --> 00:26:21,685
In fact, there is a tradition

521
00:26:21,685 --> 00:26:24,800
that a monastery on this remote lake was the last resting place

522
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,330
place of the evangelists saint

523
00:26:26,330 --> 00:26:30,620
Matthew, one of the 12 apostles of Jesus, curiously.

524
00:26:30,620 --> 00:26:35,090
When the Russian traveler pp OV was in Venice in the 1850s,

525
00:26:35,090 --> 00:26:40,090
He found a copy of the Catalan Atlas from 1375.

526
00:26:40,460 --> 00:26:41,900
In this work he found a drawing

527
00:26:41,900 --> 00:26:44,190
of a monastery on the shores of the lake with a legend.

528
00:26:44,190 --> 00:26:46,260
The place is called Issa Cole.

529
00:26:46,260 --> 00:26:49,440
There is a monastery of Armenian brothers here, rumored to be

530
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,010
possess the relics of Saint

531
00:26:51,010 --> 00:26:53,610
Matthew, the apostle and evangelist.

532
00:26:53,610 --> 00:26:57,120
The extraordinary Catalan Atlas is a perpetual calendar

533
00:26:57,120 --> 00:27:00,510
and thematic representation of the known world produced

534
00:27:00,510 --> 00:27:03,150
by the important York and graphic school.

535
00:27:03,150 --> 00:27:05,310
The creation of the atlas is attributed

536
00:27:05,310 --> 00:27:06,900
to Abraham Cress.

537
00:27:06,900 --> 00:27:11,580
A Jewish cartographer from Palmer Majorca OV believed

538
00:27:11,580 --> 00:27:15,120
that the monks probably chose a site in Menti Bay

539
00:27:15,120 --> 00:27:17,580
since the site was protected from turbulent waters

540
00:27:17,580 --> 00:27:19,260
and rich in fish.

541
00:27:19,260 --> 00:27:23,400
After visiting Isic Cole between 1856 and 1857,

542
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:27,360
Soff wrote, Menti Bay meets these conditions,

543
00:27:27,360 --> 00:27:30,060
but unfortunately I didn't find it on the shore,

544
00:27:30,060 --> 00:27:33,090
nor in the drifts of the neighboring shore any object

545
00:27:33,090 --> 00:27:35,100
supporting my assumption.

546
00:27:35,100 --> 00:27:37,950
50 years later, a Russian Orthodox monastery

547
00:27:37,950 --> 00:27:39,840
It was built in the area.

548
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,520
However, many Christians believe

549
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,940
that the remains of the apostle Matthew were discovered in Ermo,

550
00:27:44,940 --> 00:27:46,920
Italy in 10 80

551
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,290
and now they are in Salerno Cathedral,

552
00:27:49,290 --> 00:27:51,600
which is dedicated to the saint.

553
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,125
Apparently the relics of Saint Matthew had been brought

554
00:27:54,125 --> 00:27:57,720
to town at 9 54 Ad St.

555
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,780
Matthew also called Saint Matthew the Evangelist and Saint

556
00:28:00,780 --> 00:28:03,575
The apostle Matthew was one of the 12 apostles.

557
00:28:03,575 --> 00:28:06,180
of Jesus Christ and the traditional author

558
00:28:06,180 --> 00:28:09,515
of the first synoptic gospel, the gospel according to

559
00:28:09,515 --> 00:28:11,705
to Mateo, according to the call

560
00:28:11,705 --> 00:28:14,100
of Matthew in the biblical book of Matthew,

561
00:28:14,100 --> 00:28:15,600
He had been a tax collector

562
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,420
before being called to follow Jesus.

563
00:28:18,420 --> 00:28:20,190
As Jesus walked away,

564
00:28:20,190 --> 00:28:22,295
He saw a man named Mateo sitting on a

565
00:28:22,295 --> 00:28:24,030
tax collector's cabin.

566
00:28:24,030 --> 00:28:28,320
Follow me, he said and Mateo got up and followed him.

567
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,170
While Jesus was dining at Matthew's house,

568
00:28:31,170 --> 00:28:34,290
Many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him.

569
00:28:34,290 --> 00:28:36,120
and his disciples.

570
00:28:36,120 --> 00:28:39,210
When the Pharisees saw this, they asked their disciples:

571
00:28:39,210 --> 00:28:42,930
Why does your Master eat with publicans and sinners?

572
00:28:42,930 --> 00:28:45,870
Upon hearing this, Jesus said: It is not healthy.

573
00:28:45,870 --> 00:28:48,870
Who needs a doctor but the sick, if they don't go?

574
00:28:48,870 --> 00:28:50,700
and learn what this means.

575
00:28:50,700 --> 00:28:54,480
I want mercy, not sacrifice because I have not come.

576
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,820
call the righteous but the sinners.

577
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,160
According to tradition,

578
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,680
Matthew's missions later took him east.

579
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:02,880
Maybe Ethiopia

580
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,070
and the stories of Persia differ in

581
00:29:05,070 --> 00:29:08,700
on whether he died a natural death or as a martyr.

582
00:29:08,700 --> 00:29:12,330
According to another tradition, he died as a martyr in Syria.

583
00:29:12,330 --> 00:29:15,630
and his relics were preserved there for 150 years.

584
00:29:15,630 --> 00:29:18,570
His followers later reportedly fled persecution.

585
00:29:18,570 --> 00:29:21,120
To the depths of Asia, bringing the relics

586
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:22,770
of the apostle with them.

587
00:29:22,770 --> 00:29:24,725
Another tradition holds that Saint...

588
00:29:24,725 --> 00:29:26,970
Matthew died while traveling to India.

589
00:29:26,970 --> 00:29:30,240
and established several Christian communities along the way.

590
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,600
One of which is known as

591
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,725
that a thriving Armenian Christian community existed in

592
00:29:36,725 --> 00:29:40,080
Kyrgyzstan from the 1st century AD

593
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,610
Many artifacts found in Chu Valley,

594
00:29:42,610 --> 00:29:45,370
a large valley located in the north of Shan,

595
00:29:45,370 --> 00:29:46,960
including a tombstone

596
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,900
with a cross bearing an Armenian inscription.

597
00:29:49,900 --> 00:29:51,640
Jesus, our Lord,

598
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,370
The Assyrian inscription below the cross read:

599
00:29:54,370 --> 00:29:57,610
This is the tomb of Johan, the Armenian bishop.

600
00:29:57,610 --> 00:30:01,720
and a date 7 7 2 in the corresponding Armenian chronology

601
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,360
until 1323 AD

602
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,750
In medieval times, two Armenian monasteries were located close to each other.

603
00:30:07,750 --> 00:30:10,450
of the lakeside towns

604
00:30:10,450 --> 00:30:12,610
Mrs. Bright Cape Law.

605
00:30:12,610 --> 00:30:14,415
More evidence that the remains of Santa.

606
00:30:14,415 --> 00:30:17,260
Matthew may have ended up in an Armenian monastery in the

607
00:30:17,260 --> 00:30:20,560
The lake comes from the end of the 19th century.

608
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,810
When Barron called Bars General Russian

609
00:30:22,810 --> 00:30:26,950
and an explorer from Central Asia traveled to the place where he wrote.

610
00:30:26,950 --> 00:30:30,850
It is worth noting that not far from the Trinity Monastery

611
00:30:30,850 --> 00:30:32,830
from the confluence of rivers join

612
00:30:32,830 --> 00:30:36,850
And ruins of an ancient city are found underwater.

613
00:30:36,850 --> 00:30:39,190
The city was home to the Armenian monastery.

614
00:30:39,190 --> 00:30:40,510

Matthew. archaeological research

616
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:48,280
The apprentice settlements began in 2005 when a

617
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,160
The exploration team visited the monastery site.

618
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:55,480
and fines for settlements in the area include bronze crosses,

619
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,750
A signet ring with ornate colored beads.

620
00:30:58,750 --> 00:31:01,960
and more than two dozen crucifix necklaces

621
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,900
Only continuous archaeological expeditions are carried out

622
00:31:04,900 --> 00:31:08,530
and detailed historical research can solve the mysteries

623
00:31:08,530 --> 00:31:10,060
from IC Cole.

624
00:31:10,060 --> 00:31:12,610
However, some people are convinced

625
00:31:12,610 --> 00:31:15,040
that this site is indeed the location

626
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,260
of the lost Armenian monastery

627
00:31:17,260 --> 00:31:19,395
and possibly the remains of Santa.

00:31:19,395 --> 00:31:19,930
Matthew.

629
00:31:26,950 --> 00:31:28,630
According to Hindu legend,

630
00:31:28,630 --> 00:31:31,750
Once upon a time there was a mystical kingdom located in the middle

631
00:31:31,750 --> 00:31:36,130
from the sea, the city housed 900 palaces, all of them built

632
00:31:36,130 --> 00:31:37,935
of gold and was supposed

633
00:31:37,935 --> 00:31:40,725
having arisen from the waters by order

634
00:31:40,725 --> 00:31:42,520
of Lord Krishna.

635
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,490
Recently, underwater archaeologists claimed to have located

636
00:31:45,490 --> 00:31:47,830
What some believe are the foundations

637
00:31:47,830 --> 00:31:50,290
of this fabulous lost city, of the coast

638
00:31:50,290 --> 00:31:52,390

The ancient kingdom of Krishna

645
00:32:13,210 --> 00:32:16,570
and is believed to have been the first capital of Gujarat.

646
00:32:16,570 --> 00:32:19,780
According to legend, Krishna founded the city in Gujarat.

In Indian epic literature, the ancient city is also known

650
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,400
like Deca.

651
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,420
Traditionally, modern D is identified with Deca.

In Gujarat, northwest India, in the 14th century,

657
00:32:50,570 --> 00:32:52,820
The city's original temples were destroyed.

00:33:12,020 --> 00:33:16,400
The five-story sandstone building is supported by 72 pillars.

666
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,850
and was built between the 15th and 16th centuries.

A dizzying height of 257 feet.

670
00:33:30,470 --> 00:33:34,130
The temple is visited by thousands of pilgrims every year.

671
00:33:34,130 --> 00:33:36,710
The ancient rod is mentioned in several

672
00:33:36,710 --> 00:33:41,265
of Indian texts, including the Maha Harta, the Shirad,

673
00:33:41,265 --> 00:33:43,585
and the Bava Gita.

674
00:33:43,585 --> 00:33:45,860
The Ma Harta described cow

675
00:33:45,860 --> 00:33:49,975
as if it had 900,000 royal palaces, all built with glass

676
00:33:49,975 --> 00:33:53,060
and silver and decorated with emeralds.

677
00:33:53,060 --> 00:33:55,850
The ancient city was connected by an elaborate system

678
00:33:55,850 --> 00:33:58,700
of boulevards, roads, markets,

679
00:33:58,700 --> 00:34:01,160
meeting houses and temples.

680
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,430
Archaeological investigations in the city of Daka

681
00:34:04,430 --> 00:34:07,580
and offshore in the Arabian Sea have been carried out

682
00:34:07,580 --> 00:34:11,990
according to the archaeological study of India since the 1960s.

683
00:34:11,990 --> 00:34:13,160
During the last decade

684
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,580
In other words, underwater excavations have discovered interesting...

685
00:34:16,580 --> 00:34:19,765
remains at a depth of 120 feet in the Gulf

686
00:34:19,765 --> 00:34:22,940
of the Bay of Cam, off the western coast of India.

687
00:34:22,940 --> 00:34:26,600
Some reports claim that these discoveries could be more than 9,000

688
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,600
years and cover an area five miles long

689
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,370
and two miles wide.

690
00:34:31,370 --> 00:34:34,130
Marine archaeologists have used a well-known technique

691
00:34:34,130 --> 00:34:37,070
as a subsurface profile to reveal

692
00:34:37,070 --> 00:34:40,760
that the buildings remain standing on enormous foundations.

693
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,900
A news item in the new Indian Express of August 2018

694
00:34:44,900 --> 00:34:47,000
sensationally stated,

695
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:51,145
Marine scientists say 36 archaeological remains were discovered

696
00:34:51,145 --> 00:34:54,380
meters, 120 feet underwater in the Gulf

697
00:34:54,380 --> 00:34:56,065
of Kabe off the west coast

698
00:34:56,065 --> 00:34:59,510
of India could be more than 9,000 years old.

699
00:34:59,510 --> 00:35:02,540
It is believed to predate the oldest known remains.

700
00:35:02,540 --> 00:35:03,800
in the subcontinent.

701
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,380
For more than 5,000 years

702
00:35:06,380 --> 00:35:09,200
carbon dating of debris recovered from the site,

703
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,590
Including construction, material, ceramics, sections.

704
00:35:12,590 --> 00:35:15,320
Of walls, beads, sculptures and human bones.

705
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,960
and the teeth, they put it almost at nine

706
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,940
and a half thousand years old,

707
00:35:19,940 --> 00:35:23,030
Making it older than the Sumerian civilization.

708
00:35:23,030 --> 00:35:25,220
for several thousand years.

709
00:35:25,220 --> 00:35:29,240
It is also older than the Egyptian and Chinese civilizations.

710
00:35:29,240 --> 00:35:32,540
The city is believed to be even older than ancient

711
00:35:32,540 --> 00:35:37,230
Harapan civilization, sandstone walls and a street grid.

712
00:35:37,230 --> 00:35:40,710
and other evidence of a seaport 70 feet underwater.

713
00:35:40,710 --> 00:35:42,540
Along with artifacts dating from

714
00:35:42,540 --> 00:35:47,070
up to 7,500 BC. C. have convinced some researchers

715
00:35:47,070 --> 00:35:48,900
that finally the legendary city

716
00:35:48,900 --> 00:35:52,290
900,000 royal palaces have been located.

717
00:35:53,310 --> 00:35:55,890
Archaeological explorations of the coast

718
00:35:55,890 --> 00:35:58,920
of Daka have also brought to light a large number

719
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:00,570
of stone structures.

720
00:36:00,570 --> 00:36:03,570
These are semicircular, rectangular.

721
00:36:03,570 --> 00:36:06,900
and square stone buildings scattered at random

722
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:08,820
over a vast area.

723
00:36:08,820 --> 00:36:11,165
In addition to these structures, there are many varieties

724
00:36:11,165 --> 00:36:13,590
Stone anchors have been discovered throughout the

725
00:36:13,590 --> 00:36:15,390
structures too.

726
00:36:15,390 --> 00:36:16,620
These findings suggest

727
00:36:16,620 --> 00:36:19,980
that the old cow was once a very active port,

728
00:36:19,980 --> 00:36:22,200
Although the structures are believed to date from

729
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,475
Probably too late in the site's history

730
00:36:25,475 --> 00:36:28,260
belonging to the late medieval period.

731
00:36:28,260 --> 00:36:31,110
In fact, several Indian historians have stated

732
00:36:31,110 --> 00:36:34,980
that the stone anchors coincide with those used in the Indo-Arabic

733
00:36:34,980 --> 00:36:38,460
Trade from the 8th to the 14th century AD.

734
00:36:38,460 --> 00:36:42,185
However, this recent date has not prevented some from claiming

735
00:36:42,185 --> 00:36:44,645
that the remains represent the legendary lost city

736
00:36:44,645 --> 00:36:48,150
from De Vaca and therefore must be 9,000 years old.

737
00:36:49,110 --> 00:36:50,790
The main archaeologist of a number

738
00:36:50,790 --> 00:36:52,710
of excavations at the site.

739
00:36:52,710 --> 00:36:56,490
Late Dr. SR Reo described the city plan

740
00:36:56,490 --> 00:37:00,240
of the first Deca based on his team's discoveries,

741
00:37:00,240 --> 00:37:04,320
There were two fortification walls, one on the lower terrace

742
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,600
and another on the middle terrace.

743
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,970
These walls that stretch along

744
00:37:08,970 --> 00:37:12,300
Of the four kilometers of the eastern coast, most of it is destroyed.

745
00:37:12,300 --> 00:37:13,830
by maritime action.

746
00:37:13,830 --> 00:37:15,605
The walls of the lower terrace are

747
00:37:15,605 --> 00:37:18,210
of massive sandstone blocks.

748
00:37:18,210 --> 00:37:21,870
While those on the upper terrace are made of rubble, the houses

749
00:37:21,870 --> 00:37:23,910
and other public buildings built

750
00:37:23,910 --> 00:37:27,720
of smaller stones within the enclosures are all found

751
00:37:27,720 --> 00:37:31,290
destroyed and leveled by the invasion of the sea.

752
00:37:31,290 --> 00:37:34,380
These structures are found at a depth of seven to ten meters.

753
00:37:34,380 --> 00:37:37,860
below current mean sea level, indicating an increase

754
00:37:37,860 --> 00:37:42,860
of 10 meters in sea level during the last 3,600 years.

755
00:37:43,470 --> 00:37:45,300
In the opinion of some researchers,

756
00:37:45,300 --> 00:37:47,580
the rise in sea level mentioned by Dr.

757
00:37:47,580 --> 00:37:51,540
Rao seems to indicate that the old cow was destroyed

758
00:37:51,540 --> 00:37:53,190
by a great flood.

759
00:37:53,190 --> 00:37:56,130
In fact, for some archaeological proof of the existence

760
00:37:56,130 --> 00:37:59,375
of the cow and its submersion perhaps in the second

761
00:37:59,375 --> 00:38:02,130
millennium BC reflects the truth

762
00:38:02,130 --> 00:38:05,040
from the descriptions of the Maha harta.

763
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,700
For them, the fines would make the Maha Harta not just a

764
00:38:08,700 --> 00:38:10,320
book of myths and legends,

765
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,710
but to some extent a genuine account of past events.

766
00:38:15,090 --> 00:38:18,030
In September 2019, it seemed that the final test

767
00:38:18,030 --> 00:38:21,870
for the marvelous architectural achievements of the ancient decade

768
00:38:21,870 --> 00:38:25,380
Submarines of modern dwana have been discovered.

769
00:38:25,380 --> 00:38:26,610
A Twitter user who goes

770
00:38:26,610 --> 00:38:31,320
By the name in jks he shared four sensational photos

771
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,115
It displays elaborately decorated underwater sculptures.

772
00:38:34,115 --> 00:38:37,870
and structures, one of them resembling a temple tower.

773
00:38:37,870 --> 00:38:41,945
There was a statement accompanying the image that read: Shri

774
00:38:41,945 --> 00:38:45,310
Kna Daka The sunken city in Gujarat

775
00:38:45,310 --> 00:38:47,620
as described in Moab Harta.

776
00:38:47,620 --> 00:38:51,430
It's real, but the Christian world says there is no proof.

777
00:38:51,430 --> 00:38:54,940
The tweet was retweeted more than 1,500 times.

778
00:38:55,780 --> 00:38:59,320
However, further investigation into the four images reveals that

779
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,060
falsity of the statement.

780
00:39:01,060 --> 00:39:03,250
An image showing the sculpture of a lion.

781
00:39:03,250 --> 00:39:06,190
With his left paw resting on a ball he traced

782
00:39:06,190 --> 00:39:09,250
To a memorial underwater reef near Ki Bisque

783
00:39:09,250 --> 00:39:10,690
in Miami, Florida.

784
00:39:10,690 --> 00:39:13,330
It is the largest artificial reef in the world.

785
00:39:13,330 --> 00:39:15,460
and contains two statues of lions

786
00:39:15,460 --> 00:39:17,800
to mark the entrance to the site.

787
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:18,915
It's a photo of one

788
00:39:18,915 --> 00:39:21,820
of these lions that was used on Twitter as proof

789
00:39:21,820 --> 00:39:24,610
of new discoveries of the ancient draca.

790
00:39:24,610 --> 00:39:26,650
The other three images were also traced.

791
00:39:26,650 --> 00:39:28,840
to various other online sources,

792
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,200
including several images composited with Photoshop using

793
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,680
Remains of various temples collected from all over the world.

794
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:37,185
Therefore it is obvious

795
00:39:37,185 --> 00:39:39,795
that the images used on Twitter have no connection

796
00:39:39,795 --> 00:39:42,730
anything old-fashioned Daka.

797
00:39:42,730 --> 00:39:43,815
In fact, the entire statement

798
00:39:43,815 --> 00:39:45,940
of a submerged civilization off the coast

799
00:39:45,940 --> 00:39:50,530
Daka's legacy, dating back 9,000 years, rests on extremely unstable rock.

800
00:39:50,530 --> 00:39:53,950
foundations in media accounts of the discoveries.

801
00:39:53,950 --> 00:39:57,190
The claim that the city is 9,000 years old is based

802
00:39:57,190 --> 00:40:00,040
entirely on a single piece radiocarbon date

803
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:01,750
made of wood, but this piece

804
00:40:01,750 --> 00:40:04,540
of wood could very easily have belonged to a tree

805
00:40:04,540 --> 00:40:07,840
that existed before these underwater remains.

806
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:11,860
No other objects from the excavation have been dated.

807
00:40:11,860 --> 00:40:13,120
Experts have pointed out

808
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,480
that the area in which the remains have been found has enormous

809
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,185
Tidal movements, which would have moved artifacts.

810
00:40:19,185 --> 00:40:22,360
and even structures perhaps many miles around them.

811
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,340
Original locations.

812
00:40:24,340 --> 00:40:27,370
Furthermore, many of these stone objects found seem

813
00:40:27,370 --> 00:40:30,160
Be geographic facts rather than artifacts

814
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:34,720
and are natural objects created by the erosion of water and sand.

815
00:40:34,720 --> 00:40:38,895
The argument that there are 9,000 euros of breed submerged in

816
00:40:38,895 --> 00:40:40,990
The area is based on the premise

817
00:40:40,990 --> 00:40:43,990
that a submerged coastal settlement could only have been

818
00:40:43,990 --> 00:40:46,425
Built when sea levels were much lower and

819
00:40:46,425 --> 00:40:48,280
Therefore, it could only have been built

820
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,970
before the end of the last ice age about 10,000 years ago.

821
00:41:22,905 --> 00:41:23,950
The question of when

822
00:41:23,950 --> 00:41:25,000
and how the continent

823
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,065
of Australia was first settled has always been a bit

824
00:41:28,065 --> 00:41:30,250
of a puzzle for archaeologists,

825
00:41:30,250 --> 00:41:32,860
But recently some light has been shed on the subject.

826
00:41:33,890 --> 00:41:37,400
an international team of archaeologists, geographers,

827
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:41,000
Environmentalists and computer scientists have mapped the probabilities

828
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,120
Superhighways that brought the first people

829
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,910
of the Australian continent around 50,000

830
00:41:46,910 --> 00:41:49,310
until 70,000 years ago.

831
00:41:49,310 --> 00:41:52,910
The team generated a fascinating map that reveals these

832
00:41:52,910 --> 00:41:55,280
Traveled migration highways

833
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,440
by the first humans in Australia,

834
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,320
that mysteriously have striking similarities

835
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,930
to Australia's modern highways and cattle routes.

836
00:42:08,720 --> 00:42:11,720
Some researchers have also suggested a connection

837
00:42:11,720 --> 00:42:14,390
Among these newly discovered superhighways

838
00:42:14,390 --> 00:42:17,180
and the mysterious traces of the aboriginal dream.

839
00:42:18,050 --> 00:42:20,990
Over the years, there have been many theories about

840
00:42:20,990 --> 00:42:24,620
Where indigenous ancestors first settled in Australia

841
00:42:24,620 --> 00:42:26,690
Tens of thousands of years ago,

842
00:42:26,690 --> 00:42:30,470
But the evidence for this activity is extremely scarce.

843
00:42:30,470 --> 00:42:31,670
Only a very small number

844
00:42:31,670 --> 00:42:35,570
Many archaeological sites date back to these early times, when the sea...

845
00:42:35,570 --> 00:42:36,950
The levels were much lower

846
00:42:36,950 --> 00:42:39,770
and northern Australia was joined by Landbridge

847
00:42:39,770 --> 00:42:43,760
to the present day southern New Guinea and eastern Indonesia,

848
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:45,380
and people and animals could

849
00:42:45,380 --> 00:42:47,810
walk at various times through the

850
00:42:47,810 --> 00:42:49,850
Tasmania from the mainland.

851
00:42:49,850 --> 00:42:52,370
This megacontinent known as Sahu

852
00:42:52,370 --> 00:42:55,430
It was 30% larger than Australia today.

853
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,960
One of these first archaeological sites was located in the now dry

854
00:42:59,960 --> 00:43:03,230
MGO Lake in western New South Wales.

855
00:43:03,230 --> 00:43:06,050
Here on Earth in 1968,

856
00:43:06,050 --> 00:43:08,630
Jim Bola discovered the cremated remains

857
00:43:08,630 --> 00:43:11,930
of an Aboriginal woman on an eroded dune near

858
00:43:11,930 --> 00:43:13,820
to the shore of the lake.

859
00:43:13,820 --> 00:43:18,230
In 1974 the ancient remains of a man were found nearby.

860
00:43:18,230 --> 00:43:20,870
Both remains are now called Mgo Lady.

861
00:43:20,870 --> 00:43:23,240
and the MGO man was found to date back

862
00:43:23,240 --> 00:43:25,820
at an astonishing 40,000 years,

863
00:43:25,820 --> 00:43:27,950
thus doubling scientific estimates of

864
00:43:27,950 --> 00:43:31,670
How long had the Aborigines lived in Australia.

865
00:43:31,670 --> 00:43:34,340
Surprising discoveries at Lake Mgo reveal

866
00:43:34,340 --> 00:43:38,300
that Aboriginal history dates back to such ancient times

867
00:43:38,300 --> 00:43:41,060
that the only humans in Europe when the Neanderthals

868
00:43:41,060 --> 00:43:43,400
and the people had not yet arrived in America.

869
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,510
About 70,000 years ago, modern humans,

870
00:43:47,510 --> 00:43:51,350
Homo sapiens began to move to Southeast Asia

871
00:43:51,350 --> 00:43:54,115
where they would probably have encountered existing groups

872
00:43:54,115 --> 00:43:59,000
of archaic humans such as Homo erectus, Homo Florensis

873
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:00,890
They are often called the hobbits.

874
00:44:00,890 --> 00:44:04,460
and possibly also the mysterious Dennis Os.

875
00:44:04,460 --> 00:44:07,765
In May 2021, it was announced that researchers had

876
00:44:07,765 --> 00:44:09,200
use supercomputers

877
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:12,920
Simulate 125 billion possible travel routes

878
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:16,070
and rebuild the most likely superhighways.

879
00:44:16,070 --> 00:44:18,530
The first humans to arrive in Australia used

880
00:44:18,530 --> 00:44:23,480
sail across this new land more than 65,000 years ago.

881
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,250
The international team of scientists

882
00:44:25,250 --> 00:44:27,230
Whoever carried out the investigation was directed

883
00:44:27,230 --> 00:44:30,680
by researchers at the Australian Research Council Center

884
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,810
of Excellence for Australian Biodiversity

885
00:44:33,810 --> 00:44:35,730
and Kabar Heritage,

886
00:44:35,730 --> 00:44:39,090
and they recently revealed some of their methods to the press.

887
00:44:39,090 --> 00:44:42,960
They said we thought people sailed into new territories much more

888
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:44,430
like people do nowadays

889
00:44:44,430 --> 00:44:47,430
focusing on prominent terrain features that stand out

890
00:44:47,430 --> 00:44:51,120
above the relative flatness of the Australian continent.

891
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:52,470
To map these features,

892
00:44:52,470 --> 00:44:55,470
We build the most complete digital elevation model

893
00:44:55,470 --> 00:45:00,150
for sahu ever built, including areas now underwater.

894
00:45:00,150 --> 00:45:03,395
We use this digital elevation model to understand

895
00:45:03,395 --> 00:45:05,790
What was visible to the first travelers,

896
00:45:05,790 --> 00:45:08,490
essentially from every point on the continent.

897
00:45:08,490 --> 00:45:11,250
We ask you, what can you see from here?

898
00:45:11,250 --> 00:45:14,190
This moving window calculates the largest viewing area

899
00:45:14,190 --> 00:45:15,780
map never created.

900
00:45:15,780 --> 00:45:17,550
When our virtual travelers move,

901
00:45:17,550 --> 00:45:20,855
They reorient themselves based on the terrain visible everywhere.

902
00:45:20,855 --> 00:45:22,980
go do your job.

903
00:45:22,980 --> 00:45:25,860
The researchers created an imaginary traveler,

904
00:45:25,860 --> 00:45:29,760
A 25-year-old woman carrying 10 kilograms of supplies.

905
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,740
to cross the landscape.

906
00:45:31,740 --> 00:45:33,510
They collected all the different pieces.

907
00:45:33,510 --> 00:45:37,020
of data they accumulated in a known megamodel

908
00:45:37,020 --> 00:45:40,320
like from everywhere to everywhere destiny,

909
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:44,910
and created more than 125 billion possible paths from each

910
00:45:44,910 --> 00:45:48,030
place on the continent to any other place.

911
00:45:48,030 --> 00:45:50,190
Each route represented the easiest path.

912
00:45:50,190 --> 00:45:52,650
move from one place to another.

913
00:45:52,650 --> 00:45:55,685
Obviously, the researchers could not examine all the

914
00:45:55,685 --> 00:45:59,910
path of the 125 billion paths they had created,

915
00:45:59,910 --> 00:46:01,410
So they reduced the number

916
00:46:01,410 --> 00:46:05,400
comparing all plausible paths with the distribution

917
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,490
of the oldest known archaeological sites in ancient times

918
00:46:08,490 --> 00:46:12,690
continent that offers weighted possibilities for each path.

919
00:46:12,690 --> 00:46:14,220
This work produced a scale

920
00:46:14,220 --> 00:46:16,920
of paths ranging from the most probable

921
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,380
to the least likely paths chosen.

922
00:46:19,380 --> 00:46:22,410
The most likely routes on the map above are

923
00:46:22,410 --> 00:46:25,380
What research has called superhighways

924
00:46:25,380 --> 00:46:28,710
of the first indigenous populations of the continent.

925
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,730
The team's conclusion drawn from computer-generated data

926
00:46:32,730 --> 00:46:36,300
The maps show that the first populations spread across the current continent.

927
00:46:36,300 --> 00:46:38,730
wide submerged plains in the west

928
00:46:38,730 --> 00:46:40,920
and the eastern margins of the continent

929
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,920
and through the region that now forms the Gulf

930
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:45,390
from Carpentaria,

931
00:46:45,390 --> 00:46:47,550
The great shallow sea that now connects

932
00:46:47,550 --> 00:46:49,800
From Australia to New Guinea.

933
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,205
The persistent question of whether there was evidence

934
00:46:52,205 --> 00:46:55,440
that someone had actually used these identified computers

935
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,080
The roads in the distant past were soon answered.

936
00:46:58,080 --> 00:46:59,760
for his research.

937
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,910
In Australia there are a large number of known archaeological sites

938
00:47:02,910 --> 00:47:06,660
that are at least 35,000 years old are found in

939
00:47:06,660 --> 00:47:08,730
or near these superhighways,

940
00:47:08,730 --> 00:47:10,860
and many clues also coincided

941
00:47:10,860 --> 00:47:13,980
with ancient trade routes known from oral histories

942
00:47:13,980 --> 00:47:17,010
of indigenous peoples or according to genetics

943
00:47:17,010 --> 00:47:21,840
and linguistic studies used to trace early human migrations,

944
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,900
But these superhighways could well have been much more than...

945
00:47:24,900 --> 00:47:27,030
roots used for Saul's initial urine.

946
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,370
Several of these super identified

947
00:47:30,370 --> 00:47:33,490
A well-known Aboriginal trade is followed by the research team

948
00:47:33,490 --> 00:47:35,620
routes that cross the country.

949
00:47:35,620 --> 00:47:37,870
These include the route from Cape York.

950
00:47:37,870 --> 00:47:41,565
South Australia via Birdsville used by traders

951
00:47:41,565 --> 00:47:43,840
of native Peturi tobacco

952
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,870
and the Kimberley Baylor Shell trade in

953
00:47:46,870 --> 00:47:48,790
Central Australia.

954
00:47:48,790 --> 00:47:50,565
There are also obvious similarities

955
00:47:50,565 --> 00:47:53,410
Among the researchers' ancient road map

956
00:47:53,410 --> 00:47:55,060
and the most common trade

957
00:47:55,060 --> 00:47:57,610
and livestock transportation routes used by early Europeans,

958
00:47:57,610 --> 00:47:58,660
which is not surprising

959
00:47:58,660 --> 00:48:01,305
since they followed established and long-used routes

960
00:48:01,305 --> 00:48:02,950
by the aboriginal peoples.

961
00:48:04,030 --> 00:48:07,240
The pioneering work of researchers on the Superhighways

962
00:48:07,240 --> 00:48:11,230
Has impressed the archaeological community, archaeologist Kyle

963
00:48:11,230 --> 00:48:13,180
Bachinski of the University of Montana.

964
00:48:13,180 --> 00:48:17,110
Ms. Ula said this is a really compelling illustration.

965
00:48:17,110 --> 00:48:20,895
of the power of using these large-scale simulation techniques

966
00:48:20,895 --> 00:48:22,210
continental scale.

967
00:48:22,210 --> 00:48:25,150
To understand how people navigate landscapes,

968
00:48:25,150 --> 00:48:27,490
Its impressive extreme computing.

969
00:48:28,510 --> 00:48:31,395
An intriguing aspect of this new research is

970
00:48:31,395 --> 00:48:33,225
that has revealed important roots

971
00:48:33,225 --> 00:48:37,000
which passes through several dry areas in central Australia

972
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,120
and in the northeastern state of Queensland.

973
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:43,360
The existence of roads in such places would seem

974
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,400
to challenge long held opinion

975
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:47,260
that the first inhabitants of the continent

976
00:48:47,260 --> 00:48:49,270
I avoided deserts.

977
00:48:49,270 --> 00:48:51,040
News from the deputy director,

978
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:55,180
Distinguished Professor Sean Umm of James Cook University

979
00:48:55,180 --> 00:48:56,565
commented on the importance

980
00:48:56,565 --> 00:48:59,800
of the research team's work to reveal the importance

981
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:03,400
of the landscape to the native inhabitants of the continent.

982
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,520
He said that Australia is not only the driest country,

983
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:09,850
but also the flattest populated continent on Earth.

984
00:49:09,850 --> 00:49:12,940
Our research shows that prominent landscape features

985
00:49:12,940 --> 00:49:16,240
and water sources were essential for people to navigate.

986
00:49:16,240 --> 00:49:18,220
and survive on the continent.

987
00:49:18,220 --> 00:49:20,140
In many Aboriginal societies,

988
00:49:20,140 --> 00:49:22,750
The landscape features are believed to have been created

989
00:49:22,750 --> 00:49:25,780
by ancestral beings during sleep.

990
00:49:25,780 --> 00:49:28,540
Every ridge line, hill, river, beach

991
00:49:28,540 --> 00:49:31,240
and the water fountain is named after a fairy tale

992
00:49:31,240 --> 00:49:33,285
and inscribed on the same cloth

993
00:49:33,285 --> 00:49:36,790
of societies that emphasize intimate relationships

994
00:49:36,790 --> 00:49:39,010
Between people and place.

995
00:49:39,010 --> 00:49:41,320
The landscape is literally woven into people's lives.

996
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,120
Lives and their stories.

997
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:44,950
It seems that these relationships

998
00:49:44,950 --> 00:49:47,530
Among the people of the country they probably date back to

999
00:49:47,530 --> 00:49:50,440
to the first peoples of the continent.

1000
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,750
This quote raises a question of connection.

1001
00:49:52,750 --> 00:49:55,600
Among these newly revealed superhighways

1002
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:58,930
and Aboriginal dream tracks for Aboriginal people.

1003
00:49:58,930 --> 00:50:02,290
A dream track or song line as it is also known,

1004
00:50:02,290 --> 00:50:03,340
It's a route taken

1005
00:50:03,340 --> 00:50:06,940
by ancient heroes in the time of sleep in which all

1006
00:50:06,940 --> 00:50:09,160
Aboriginal culture has its roots and

1007
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:12,730
Before, in their minds the earth did not exist.

1008
00:50:12,730 --> 00:50:14,830
Like the old highways,

1009
00:50:14,830 --> 00:50:16,660
These mostly invisible paths

1010
00:50:16,660 --> 00:50:20,650
o tracks generally connect sacred Aboriginal sites in the

1011
00:50:20,650 --> 00:50:22,060
time to dream, groups

1012
00:50:22,060 --> 00:50:24,790
of ancient beings traveled across the earth,

1013
00:50:24,790 --> 00:50:28,340
Performing mighty feats and creating living species

1014
00:50:28,340 --> 00:50:30,500
and characteristics of the desert landscape.

1015
00:50:30,500 --> 00:50:33,620
The adventure of these ancestors also refers to

1016
00:50:33,620 --> 00:50:38,180
as totemic ancestors are recorded in sacred songs, stories

1017
00:50:38,180 --> 00:50:39,200
and rituals.

1018
00:50:40,070 --> 00:50:43,250
These totem ancestors also set the rules.

1019
00:50:43,250 --> 00:50:48,110
of Aboriginal religion, law, moral systems and social life.

1020
00:50:48,110 --> 00:50:51,560
In the minds of Aboriginal dreamers, time is a true record.

1021
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:53,480
of how the landscape was formed,

1022
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,300
A landscape that is still inhabited by spirits.

1023
00:50:56,300 --> 00:50:58,160
of their ancestral beings.

1024
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:01,790
By recreating the myths of dream time in the story of song.

1025
00:51:01,790 --> 00:51:05,990
and ceremony, the aborigines maintain the rules of their ancestors

1026
00:51:05,990 --> 00:51:08,780
Believes that some relationships with the landscape are alive,

1027
00:51:09,830 --> 00:51:11,330
The huge rock shape

1028
00:51:11,330 --> 00:51:15,830
of the Uluru heir rock in the local Angu language is a

1029
00:51:15,830 --> 00:51:19,885
Isolated sandstone outcrop rising 1,140 feet

1030
00:51:19,885 --> 00:51:22,970
over the red desert plain in the northern territory

1031
00:51:22,970 --> 00:51:27,770
from central Australia, 208 miles southwest of Alice Springs.

1032
00:51:27,770 --> 00:51:31,490
This sacred place is seen by the Anangu as a living record.

1033
00:51:31,490 --> 00:51:34,430
of the sleep-time activities of their ancestors

1034
00:51:34,430 --> 00:51:36,890
and the appearance and origin of each trait

1035
00:51:36,890 --> 00:51:40,075
of the giant rock is present in the mental map carried

1036
00:51:40,075 --> 00:51:42,890
around the Anangu village of the area.

1037
00:51:42,890 --> 00:51:46,340
One of the reasons why local people recommend Anangu to tourists

1038
00:51:46,340 --> 00:51:49,855
Not climbing the rock is that the hiking path crosses a

1039
00:51:49,855 --> 00:51:53,570
of the site's many traditional dream tracks.

1040
00:51:53,570 --> 00:51:56,090
Let's hope that in the future we will work on possible connections.

1041
00:51:56,090 --> 00:51:58,490
Among these fascinating superhighways

1042
00:51:58,490 --> 00:52:01,430
and traces of Aboriginal dreams could reveal important information

1043
00:52:01,430 --> 00:52:04,370
a vision of the spiritual nature of both.

1044
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,740
During the drought that resulted from the unusually warm weather

1045
00:52:21,740 --> 00:52:24,320
Summer 2019, the coast

1046
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,980
of the Tanus River in central Spain receded revealing a

1047
00:52:27,980 --> 00:52:31,400
6,000-year-old circular monument in the middle

1048
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:35,390
of the Val Decans reservoir known as the Dolman

1049
00:52:35,390 --> 00:52:36,680
by Guap.

1050
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:38,600
This megalithic monument consists

1051
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:41,690
of more than a hundred standing granite stones, some of them

1052
00:52:41,690 --> 00:52:46,430
up to six feet tall, arranged in a circle 85 feet in diameter.

1053
00:52:46,430 --> 00:52:48,050
Some researchers believe that one

1054
00:52:48,050 --> 00:52:49,910
of the stones of the monument has

1055
00:52:49,910 --> 00:52:53,120
what may be the oldest map of the world carved into it,

1056
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:55,430
But who built it and what was it used for?

1057
00:52:56,360 --> 00:53:00,140
The discovery of the monument in 1963,

1058
00:53:00,140 --> 00:53:03,800
A megalithic monument known as the domen de qual peral,

1059
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,170
which was located on the banks of the Tegu River,

1060
00:53:06,170 --> 00:53:07,820
disappeared under water

1061
00:53:07,820 --> 00:53:10,640
of the newly built reservoir, northeast

1062
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:12,650
of Extremadura, a region

1063
00:53:12,650 --> 00:53:16,460
of western Spain and borders Portugal on its western side.

1064
00:53:16,460 --> 00:53:18,650
After construction only the tips remain

1065
00:53:18,650 --> 00:53:21,080
Larger megaliths were occasionally visible.

1066
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:22,580
above the waterline.

1067
00:53:22,580 --> 00:53:26,100
Surprisingly, there appears to be no protest over the immersion.

1068
00:53:26,100 --> 00:53:29,370
of this ancient monument, certainly not close to the level

1069
00:53:29,370 --> 00:53:32,130
of the reaction of archaeologists, historians

1070
00:53:32,130 --> 00:53:34,110
and the public if the government planned

1071
00:53:34,110 --> 00:53:35,670
to do something similar today,

1072
00:53:36,510 --> 00:53:40,230
But the Guadal Peral dolman is far from the only one

1073
00:53:40,230 --> 00:53:41,850
ancient monument in spain,

1074
00:53:41,850 --> 00:53:45,030
that has been submerged in recent decades.

1075
00:53:45,030 --> 00:53:49,260
The Spanish archaeologist Priva Bueno Ramírez commented

1076
00:53:49,260 --> 00:53:52,560
You couldn't believe how many authentic archaeological remains

1077
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:56,190
and historical jewels are submerged under the artificial lakes of Spain.

1078
00:53:57,060 --> 00:53:59,220
Enrique Carillo Za,

1079
00:53:59,220 --> 00:54:02,165
A researcher from the Higher Council of Scientific Research

1080
00:54:02,165 --> 00:54:06,120
Added We know that Dolman is submerged in reservoirs at other points

1081
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:08,820
of Tegu like Gu Ansil,

1082
00:54:08,820 --> 00:54:13,590
A few kilometers downstream from Guadal Peral in 2019.

1083
00:54:13,590 --> 00:54:15,095
It was revealed in the media

1084
00:54:15,095 --> 00:54:18,510
that Spain's extremely dry summer had caused the waters to

1085
00:54:18,510 --> 00:54:22,530
of the Val Decans reservoir receding, exposing the dolman,

1086
00:54:22,530 --> 00:54:25,770
which had largely been forgotten by the local inhabitants.

1087
00:54:26,700 --> 00:54:29,315
Angel Castano, resident of a nearby town

1088
00:54:29,315 --> 00:54:30,870
and president of a local history

1089
00:54:30,870 --> 00:54:33,870
and the cultural society said of the discovery.

1090
00:54:33,870 --> 00:54:37,440
All my life I have been told about the Dolman.

1091
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:40,290
I had seen parts of it peeking out from the water before,

1092
00:54:40,290 --> 00:54:43,080
but this is the first time I've seen it complete.

1093
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,395
It is spectacular because you can see the

1094
00:54:45,395 --> 00:54:46,650
The entire complex.

1095
00:54:46,650 --> 00:54:48,780
For the first time in decades,

1096
00:54:48,780 --> 00:54:51,540
We grew up hearing about the legend of the hidden treasure.

1097
00:54:51,540 --> 00:54:55,410
under the lake, and now we can finally see them.

1098
00:54:55,410 --> 00:54:57,390
Surely there may have been buried treasures

1099
00:54:57,390 --> 00:54:59,520
under the stones once,

1100
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:03,540
But for us now, the treasure is the stones themselves.

1101
00:55:03,540 --> 00:55:06,065
Unfortunately, immersion in water for

1102
00:55:06,065 --> 00:55:08,730
Parts of the monument have been damaged for some time.

1103
00:55:08,730 --> 00:55:10,080
The engravings in one

1104
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:13,770
of the poorest granite stones have eroded others show signs

1105
00:55:13,770 --> 00:55:16,170
of erosion and have fallen

1106
00:55:16,170 --> 00:55:19,050
or already beginning to divide.

1107
00:55:19,050 --> 00:55:22,980
The dalman was first excavated between 1925

1108
00:55:22,980 --> 00:55:27,780
and 1927 by the German archaeologist Hugo Obermeyer,

1109
00:55:27,780 --> 00:55:30,150
But it wasn't until four decades later

1110
00:55:30,150 --> 00:55:32,700
Obermeyer to report on his excavations

1111
00:55:32,700 --> 00:55:35,550
The old structure was finally published.

1112
00:55:35,550 --> 00:55:38,370
The excavations also uncovered artifacts believed to...

1113
00:55:38,370 --> 00:55:40,710
having been used by the builders of the monument,

1114
00:55:40,710 --> 00:55:42,815
which suggested that they had lived nearby

1115
00:55:42,815 --> 00:55:44,160
during its construction.

1116
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:46,380
The site would have been created over thousands of years.

1117
00:55:46,380 --> 00:55:50,400
of years using granite transported from miles away

1118
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:51,630
like a tall stone

1119
00:55:51,630 --> 00:55:54,990
The mega list formed a sun temple and a cemetery.

1120
00:55:54,990 --> 00:55:56,610
They seemed to have religious beliefs.

1121
00:55:56,610 --> 00:55:59,700
but also the economic purpose is one of the few points

1122
00:55:59,700 --> 00:56:02,160
of the river where it was possible to cross,

1123
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:04,140
So it was kind of a shopping center.

1124
00:56:05,010 --> 00:56:07,290
The Guperal dalman consists

1125
00:56:07,290 --> 00:56:10,145
of around 140 granite boulders, the tallest

1126
00:56:10,145 --> 00:56:13,140
of which reached 6.6 feet in height,

1127
00:56:13,140 --> 00:56:17,220
arranged in a concentric circle 80 feet five inches in diameter.

1128
00:56:17,220 --> 00:56:19,560
Archaeologists believe like Castaño

1129
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:22,590
that the monument was probably used as a temple

1130
00:56:22,590 --> 00:56:27,590
and between 4,020 and 500 BC. c.

1131
00:56:27,700 --> 00:56:30,970
At an early stage of its development, the monument consisted

1132
00:56:30,970 --> 00:56:34,395
of vertical toll stones known as meas, which were topped

1133
00:56:34,395 --> 00:56:36,310
by horizontal stone slabs.

1134
00:56:36,310 --> 00:56:40,210
To form a closed, single-chamber tomb known as a dolman,

1135
00:56:40,210 --> 00:56:43,810
At the entrance to the structure there was an engraved monument,

1136
00:56:43,810 --> 00:56:46,960
An old map, the stone engraved at the entrance.

1137
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:49,750
of Gudo Paral's dalman has become the source

1138
00:56:49,750 --> 00:56:52,480
of much controversy in recent months.

1139
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:55,780
The stone has a human figure engraved on one of its faces.

1140
00:56:55,780 --> 00:56:58,900
and on the other, a wavy symbol that could represent a

1141
00:56:58,900 --> 00:57:01,935
snake or perhaps the nearby Tuss River.

1142
00:57:01,935 --> 00:57:05,080
Angar. Castaño believes that the sinuous line in the stone

1143
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:07,900
It represents what would have been the first map of the world.

1144
00:57:07,900 --> 00:57:10,630
He believes that the curves may correspond to the meanders.

1145
00:57:10,630 --> 00:57:11,980
from the Tuss River

1146
00:57:11,980 --> 00:57:15,130
and may have been used as a guide for navigation.

1147
00:57:15,130 --> 00:57:18,640
The Tuss River is the longest river in the Iberian Peninsula.

1148
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:23,640
flowing 626 miles generally in a westerly direction

1149
00:57:23,650 --> 00:57:26,770
Until Roman times, it is believed that the area

1150
00:57:26,770 --> 00:57:30,430
where the Gu Paal dolman is located was the only natural

1151
00:57:30,430 --> 00:57:31,630
Ford on the river.

1152
00:57:31,630 --> 00:57:33,580
Hence its vital importance.

1153
00:57:33,580 --> 00:57:37,030
In fact, the presence of numerous ancient remains in the area

1154
00:57:37,030 --> 00:57:39,340
testifies to this importance.

1155
00:57:39,340 --> 00:57:43,450
The ancient Roman city of Riga Augusta was located here.

1156
00:57:43,450 --> 00:57:46,660
but since the dalman of Guana Peral was submerged

1157
00:57:46,660 --> 00:57:50,590
by water in the early 1960s, when the Kashia Valley

1158
00:57:50,590 --> 00:57:51,730
A reservoir was built.

1159
00:57:52,870 --> 00:57:56,560
Other Mada Ds extras in the region

1160
00:57:56,560 --> 00:58:00,370
In addition, Madora has many other prehistoric monuments.

1161
00:58:00,370 --> 00:58:03,490
including the Dolmans, extremely similar in design to

1162
00:58:03,490 --> 00:58:05,350
that in Gudo Paral.

1163
00:58:05,350 --> 00:58:08,410
In fact, there are 41 examples in a small area.

1164
00:58:08,410 --> 00:58:11,320
Around the towns of Valencia Di Kant

1165
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:15,910
and Saint Vincent Kant in the West, a nearby extramadora

1166
00:58:15,910 --> 00:58:17,710
to the Portuguese border.

1167
00:58:17,710 --> 00:58:19,870
In fact, it contains the largest collection

1168
00:58:19,870 --> 00:58:22,510
of DO mens in the Iberian Peninsula.

1169
00:58:22,510 --> 00:58:26,205
33 of these monuments are built in granite, while eight

1170
00:58:26,205 --> 00:58:28,240
They were made using slate.

1171
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:31,360
Zo's dome is located in the village.

1172
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:36,340
from Senya Dal Brega in the province of CRE in Spain.

1173
00:58:36,340 --> 00:58:38,680
It is one of the only do mens in extra Mada.

1174
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:40,185
where the camera is still covered

1175
00:58:40,185 --> 00:58:42,910
for its original protruding finish.

1176
00:58:42,910 --> 00:58:45,550
The granite slab of the doman has an oval chamber.

1177
00:58:45,550 --> 00:58:48,310
and consists of eight support stones, some

1178
00:58:48,310 --> 00:58:51,880
of which are unfortunately broken, but the prehistoric ones are.

1179
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:54,610
Men are not limited to the Iberian Peninsula.

1180
00:58:54,610 --> 00:58:57,700
They are found in a variety of locations around the world.

1181
00:58:57,700 --> 00:59:01,000
The highest concentration of men with OD is found in northwestern Europe.

1182
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:04,990
especially in Great Britain, France and southwestern Scandinavia,

1183
00:59:04,990 --> 00:59:08,290
Great Britain, Ireland, Belgium and the Netherlands.

1184
00:59:08,290 --> 00:59:11,740
They are also known from parts of Africa and Asia.

1185
00:59:11,740 --> 00:59:14,530
The DO men of northwest Europe were built at the beginning of the 20th century.

1186
00:59:14,530 --> 00:59:18,940
Neolithic Period, which began in Britain around 5000 BC. c.

1187
00:59:18,940 --> 00:59:20,295
and in Great Britain, Ireland

1188
00:59:20,295 --> 00:59:23,840
and southern Scandinavia around 4,000 BC. c.

1189
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:26,420
The Breona word Doman was originally used

1190
00:59:26,420 --> 00:59:27,530
to describe a variety

1191
00:59:27,530 --> 00:59:30,145
of megalithic monuments around the world, but

1192
00:59:30,145 --> 00:59:33,020
Although there is considerable diversity in the monument

1193
00:59:33,020 --> 00:59:36,055
types, however they share many points in common

1194
00:59:36,055 --> 00:59:37,550
features.

1195
00:59:37,550 --> 00:59:39,980
Ancient dolmans are made of a large capstone

1196
00:59:39,980 --> 00:59:42,050
or cornerstones held by a number

1197
00:59:42,050 --> 00:59:44,330
of smaller upright stones.

1198
00:59:44,330 --> 00:59:48,740
This arrangement of stones creates a closed chamber area.

1199
00:59:48,740 --> 00:59:50,840
Excavations have shown that most

1200
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:53,540
The domens were used for the burial of the dead.

1201
00:59:53,540 --> 00:59:55,525
In some of these monuments there are the remains

1202
00:59:55,525 --> 00:59:58,370
It was discovered that numerous people were mixed in a

1203
00:59:58,370 --> 01:00:00,020
communal deposit.

1204
01:00:00,020 --> 01:00:02,030
Archaeologists believe that these collections

1205
01:00:02,030 --> 01:00:05,210
of bones may represent ancestral remains

1206
01:00:05,210 --> 01:00:07,850
and that men were not only burial places,

1207
01:00:07,850 --> 01:00:09,560
but also primitive temples

1208
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:11,990
where ancestors could have been venerated.

1209
01:00:13,100 --> 01:00:14,660
One of the most disconcerting aspects

1210
01:00:14,660 --> 01:00:17,630
One of the characteristics of the do mens is the enormous size of the stones,

1211
01:00:17,630 --> 01:00:19,370
In particular the cornerstone

1212
01:00:19,370 --> 01:00:22,040
or finishing stones used to build them.

1213
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:24,350
For some reason, the builders chose the largest one.

1214
01:00:24,350 --> 01:00:27,055
and the heaviest stones most could find

1215
01:00:27,055 --> 01:00:28,790
of which were clothed and molded

1216
01:00:28,790 --> 01:00:30,650
before putting them in place.

1217
01:00:30,650 --> 01:00:33,890
How and why they did it remains a baffling mystery.

1218
01:00:33,890 --> 01:00:35,090
To the archaeologists.

1219
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:38,180
Unfortunately, the future of the goalkeeper

1220
01:00:38,180 --> 01:00:40,490
of Guda Paral is still uncertain.

1221
01:00:40,490 --> 01:00:44,150
Castano has organized a group of concerned local residents

1222
01:00:44,150 --> 01:00:46,880
who are campaigning for the stone monument to be moved

1223
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:50,450
to a place on dry land before the waters rise again,

1224
01:00:50,450 --> 01:00:53,060
and they are lost who knows how long,

1225
01:00:53,060 --> 01:00:55,610
and perhaps irreparable damage.

1226
01:00:55,610 --> 01:00:59,120
Castaño explained that if we miss the opportunity, years could pass

1227
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:01,250
before they are revealed again,

1228
01:01:01,250 --> 01:01:03,260
and the stones, which are granite and

1229
01:01:03,260 --> 01:01:05,690
Therefore, porous, they are already showing signs.

1230
01:01:05,690 --> 01:01:07,340
erosion and cracking.

1231
01:01:07,340 --> 01:01:10,370
So if we don't act now, it will be too late.

1232
01:01:10,370 --> 01:01:12,440
It is not difficult to move them.

1233
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:14,720
Now we have machinery to do that.

1234
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:17,090
Let's hope there is political will.

1235
01:01:17,090 --> 01:01:18,530
To save them while we can.

1236
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:22,280
Castaño and his group created an online petition

1237
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:26,870
to save the monument, which obtained more than 44,000 signatures.

1238
01:01:26,870 --> 01:01:29,840
However, the Spanish ministries of culture and sport

1239
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:31,730
and the ecological transition throughout

1240
01:01:31,730 --> 01:01:35,185
With a team from the University of Extramadura it was decided

1241
01:01:35,185 --> 01:01:36,380
that transportation

1242
01:01:36,380 --> 01:01:38,660
