We Finally Know More About Humanity’s First Civilization

What we know about human history is only a fraction of the full story. Much of the rest is like dark matter, invisible to us. We can’t see it, and we can only see the effect it has on what we do know. This video explores the hidden chapters of our past, focusing on humanity's first civilization. Recent discoveries have shed new light on the origins of civilization, revealing complex societies that existed long before written records. We examine how archaeologists and historians piece together evidence from artifacts, DNA, and climate data to reconstruct these ancient worlds. The video also features the 12,027 Calendar from the kurzgesagt shop, a stunning piece of art that supports the channel. By understanding our deep past, we gain insight into how civilizations rise and fall, and what that means for our future.
