Description
Learn morer about the seafares here: https://medium.com/the-idea-of-reality/the-forgotten-seafarers-how-ancient-humans-crossed-worlds-before-history-began-4f566a912b95
Long before written maps, modern ships, or recorded history, humans were already crossing seas and exploring distant coastlines.
In this video, we explore the forgotten story of ancient seafarers, from the first crossings toward Australia and Sahul to the extraordinary navigation skills later demonstrated across the Pacific. We also look at a major problem in archaeology: boats, ropes, paddles, and other maritime technologies were often made from materials that simply did not survive.
Rising sea levels have also submerged enormous prehistoric coastal landscapes, potentially hiding important chapters of human history beneath the ocean.
What if ancient humans were far more mobile, skilled, and connected than the surviving archaeological record suggests?
Discover the lost maritime world of our ancestors.
