I've watched a few more of these. Some of the old buildings for sure look like they were buried and uncovered after a quake or something and they just built the town around them.

Some of the others they talk about are just brick and seems like the 1800's people could have built it to me.

I'd like to see some more info on european cathedrals. If middle ages folk can build those then anything is possible.

If any of you are into the whyfiles community (I am not), see if they would do a video on the 1800s reset stuff, or mudflood / tartaria stuff. Should be really entertaining.

This isn't something they've done. Def agree this would be a great episode if they decided to cover it.

On todays episode of "archaeology is fucking retarded pseudoscience"

Here they speculate retardedly about the purpose of naked female figurines.
As early humans endeavored to make meaning of the transient world around them, the cohesive narrative of females’ cyclical maturation may have functioned as a symbolic tool for conceptualizing abstractions such as life, death, and transformation.

Good Lord these people have to be fucking trolling us.

A caveman made an artistic representation of a naked woman. Wow I wonder what that could possibly have been used for. One of the great mysteries, I guess we'll never know

One of the history streamers I watch had this perfect take:

"Remember: When an archeologist says an item may have a ritualistic nature, he really means that he has no fuckin' idea what it is."

So this is the same channel I kinda got started on. I don't think he was a super big believer in buried buildings, and the crazy worlds fair / insane asylum / orphan train stuff, but if you watch a few of his videos, the algorithm starts feeding you the really crazy ones.

He does a pretty good debonk of the worlds fair and other subjects in this:



He basically just kept digging and found mid construction photos, photos of huge trainyards leading up to the fairgrounds answering the "how did they get so many people there in 1800s?" etc.

And then one of the fairs had a fire and one of the bigass buildings burned down. He also had shots from inside and you could see the steel beams and such.
