    I googled the title of the book he was talking about near (32:30) it's called The Horse, the Wheel and the language by David Anthony

    Old Europe; when I was in primary school in the 80's in Romania in my native little town on Danube - Oltenita, I visited the local history museum. It was dedicated to the old neolithic culture of Gumelnita (and Boian) and contained artefacts found in the villagages nearby. I still remember some fascinating ceramic objects, a skelleton and even some fossilised wheat. I read Gimbutas' book Civilization and Culture (Romanian title) later in the beginning of the 90s.

    Annoyed by sound in just your left ear? Open VLC media player. Press Media > Open Network Stream. Paste the youtube link of the video, and press play. Once it is playing, right click on the screen and choose > Audio > Audio Channels > Left. And it will be mirrored in your right ear.

  • I'd like to hear the size of the ancient city of 5,000 people in Romania compared with cities like Mohenjo-Daro, Uruk, and Jericho.
  • @DK-cr7hn
    25:20 could anyone tell me please, what were ancient cities in Romania made up of? It sounds like 'gymnus/jimnus', I could not understand that word.
  • @gregg4
    Why does it end so abruptly?
  • @brainphelps1994
    why do we cut it off right when hes getting into neanderthals playing the flute?
  • @zorgonox8479
    I believe that an appropriate 'new narrative' is that Old Europe teaches us that civilization is not guaranteed. Perhaps a lesson we should be reminded of.

    Anyone else notice his pronunciation of "WHEAT" is similar to Stewie's on Family Guy.

    He reminds me of my highschool World History teacher. :)

    Fantastic story about iranian settlement. It amazes me how funny it can be the concept of a human being stealing objects from an archeological sight, comparing it to make a copy of a book. Really, hearing no comments about this continous pillage that is being done in the name of archeology is frustrating.
