    Oh I see, thats very interesting thank you! Are you an archaeologist, or just someone very interested in stone-age history?

      Nah I’m just very interested in agricultural history (I work in agriculture ) and I learned this stuff as a byproduct of learning about the origins and spread of farming into Europe. If you are interested there are lots of good long-form history videos about the neolithic on YouTube, just search Neolithic. So far Neolithic youtube has not suffered the same AI slop-ageddon as medieval YouTube has.

        This is so cool, thanks for sharing. I am reading Earth’s Children book 4 right now and I know the author was well documented, but she wrote those books 30 years ago, so I assume modern findings would clash with some of her fiction. Anyway, thanks again

        Shoutout to Miniminuteman/Milo Rossi, he’s an archaeologist and does a lot of debunking of ancient aliens-esque conspiracy theories, collaborative videos with other archaeologists about their work, and cool educational videos about things I’d never heard of before, like The Great Raft: a unique ecosystem made up of a log-jammed river that existed for ~600 years and supported multiple indigenous societies.
