Yeah, Nah, Maybe.

 

I recognise the voice. It's not an AI voice. I can accept the 65,000 years for primitive tools as I think it aligns with 'out of Africa' findings. I reject the pottery images for a couple of reasons. If these dated back 65,000 years, and were the efforts of first arrivals, then since we know that trade routes existed throughout the continent later on, that tehnology would have been widespread well before European arrival. Further, the decoration and apparent quality of the pottery is too advanced in for 65,000 years ago. Has pottery of that quality been located elsewhere in Africa/Eurasia and dated back that far?

 

There are well-know fish traps on the Darling River near Brewarrina that are accepted as being very ancient. The photo in the video is not of those traps. I think it's AI. 

 

A stone circle with apparent astronomical links has been discovered in Victoria. I don't recall if a date of construction has been assigned to it.

I'm missing something here, have rewatched it and still can't find the mentioned pottery images.

Very close to the start there is an image of pottery shards and at teh bottom of the photo is a graduated straight edge (ruler).

Thanks ome, I found it and it's total BS, probably put there for a bit of dramatic effect.

Even with the rare chance they were shards of engraved stone and not pottery, they didn't engrave stone for decoration like that. They did as a form of writing or messaging with engraved stone message sticks but it usually consisted of a series of lines. Similar with a couple of other type of stone artifacts that are best not mentioned out of respect for cultural sensitivity.

Just to clarify, when I mentioned engraved stone, I mean stones and pieces of stone, not wall art engravings.

There's some interesting stuff in that short documentary, but quite a few strange things as well. When the narrator was talking about the quarries in the Qld. channel country mining stone on an industrial scale and traded across the continent, they showed this photo with no explanation of what Tehran and Dubai had to do with it.

And that, M'Lord, is proof positive of AI slop.
