  • This makes me wonder if in these palaces there where grumpy hunter/ garther grandparents who said stuff like. "Your generation are so lazy!" "Oh fish god grandads off again" "Look at that goat. It walks right up to you." "In my day you'd have had to kill it out right or it would run for hours!" "We know grandad we know!" "Then you'd have to carry it back to the cave. Fighting of wolves... have you ever fought a pack of wolves carrying a fully grown deer on your back?" "No..." "Exactly lazy!" Rolls eyes
  • We mustn't dismiss hunter-gatherers as "stupid & primative." While they would have no clue how to use a cell phone, they could survive in the wild without any metal tools. So I am not surprised a 100% HG could be found buried with Neolithic Aggies. Such a person adapted & brought useful skills & knowledge to the Aggies.
  • 100% NOT boring narration! You show excellent picures, have great backgrounds for your discussions, give thoughtful insight, have great music in the background, etc....don't ever discount what you do. For those (yes we may be nerds) who find our past fascinating, but don't have some "...ologist" in our job titles, you do a great service with your info. I did not have to spend a month researching, I have a full time job. But I get to put your vids on while I work and still learn. Thank you for what you do! Listening to your vids in 2021!

    I'm Serbian and we visited the site as part of the school trip. We have so much historical sites all around the country from different epochs. As history and archaeological loving person I really enjoy living in such beautiful country. The only sad thing is that other countries archeology have better marketing. Vinča and Starčevo cultures are very interesting as well.
  • @edward657
    Wow just discovered your channel, this is exactly what the internet was made for. God bless you my friend!
  • @samykah
    Thank you Stefan for this useful video! Also thank you for promoting Lepenski Vir and Serbia in a good way. I was there 4 times and every time it is becoming more "tourist friendly", so tourists can get the bigger picture how people used to live then. Also, there is a short movie tourists can watch right there on site how it was actually discovered accidentaly by our famous archeologist - Dragoslav Srejovic. So, interesting site to visit for everyone who wants to visit Serbia. Greetings from Belgrade, Serbia.
  • @jomolololo4398
    A very overlooked part of the history of mankind , im curious to see a time line of prehistory in different regions , europe , china , india , america ; what was going on in these places as well
  • @morbe5276
    One day, young anthropologists and archaeologists will be binge watching these amazing videos, thank you stefan.
  • I visited the place (Lepenski vir) in 1989 when canoeing down the Danube from Vienna to the Black Sea. Amazing place. Gorgeous fish gods!
  • I desperately wanted this video to be longer, so engaging and I just ADORE prehistoric art. Time to bingewatch prehistoric art video essays
  • Great video! Greetings from Serbia. The biggest problem with prehistoric and roman excavation locations is that government has no money to finance big scale projects😭. Who knows what could we find out if we could unearth it😱
  • @HistoryTime
    Absolutely captivating video. Also links in really nicely to my next one! (*Cough* Jericho *Cough*)
  • @MyMomSaysImKeen
    Very pleased to see Lepenski Vir getting attention. Similar era I think 5000bc was Varna!Vinca in the Balkans. Fascinating cultural art
  • @TheTrakker
    I must say, I found nothing boring about this. Thank you.
  • This was so interesting! I hope you do more vids about this time in European history. It's incredible how much info can be gleaned from dna evidence. I feel like we're just scratching the surface.
  • Stefan, you should not worry about "being boring". You have a large and faithful community of nerds, who love your presentations and interviews. Just keep on!
