Join us on our short tour of Al Beidha Neolithic village, a short walk from Little Petra in Jordan.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKVYFxWkKBA
Occupied from 8,500 BC, this is one of the earliest villages ever discovered, showing the transformation from hunter-gatherers to farmers.
Periods of settlementhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beidha_(archaeological_site)
Three periods of occupation were detected: the Natufian period in the 11th millennium BC,[3][4] a Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB) village with masonry construction in the 7th millennium BC[5][6] and a Nabatean period dating to the 1st or 2nd century BC.[7]
Natufian period
Natufian Beidha is characterized as a seasonal encampment, repeatedly occupied over a long period of time. Evidence from lithics recovered along with the layout and position of hearths and roasting areas suggested the occupants were primarily engaged in hunting related activities. This was supported by the absence of permanent buildings, storage, burials and large stone implements.[3]
Neolithic period
The Neolithic stage at Beidha has been suggested to be one of the earliest villages with habitation dated between 7200 and 6500 BC. In the earliest PPNB phases, the population has been estimated at between 50 and 115 people.[8] These villagers used stone masonry and built a wall around the settlement of round houses with subterranean floors. Its occupants cultivated barley and emmer wheat in an early state of domestication, herded goats, and hunted a variety of wild animals such as ibex and gathered wild plants, fruits and nuts.[9] Burials were found in an area of the settlement thought to be used for ritual purposes.[9] Evidence shows it was destroyed by fire c. 6650 BC and then rebuilt with rectangular, overground buildings and specialized workshops. At the height of habitation, the population has been estimated at anywhere between 125 and 235 people.[8] Around 6500 BC the village was abandoned again, for unknown reasons. Many of the materials recovered came from some distance and included Anatolian obsidian and mother of pearl from the Red Sea. The transition to right-angled buildings shows an important development in human society that may have contributed the development of cities.[6][9] There is also a structure dating from this period some yards east of the main site which has been interpreted as possibly being a temple for the practice of what may have been a pre-Abrahamic religion. (The layout of the structure is that of a temple, but there are no signs of any 'graven images' ever having been present.)
Nabataean period
There is also plentiful evidence of a renowned Nabataean settlement in the area including construction of a series of walls around agricultural terraces.[3][10]
European farmers reached the southern edge of the North European Plain, not far south of the Baltic coast, before 5000 BC but didn't reach northern Germany and southern Scandinavia until 1000 years later. So for a thousand years there was some interaction with groups of the Late Mesolithic Ertebølle Culture - a hunter gatherer people in this region during the 5th millennium BC which is shown by traded stone axes and other artefacts.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJYvhf0VVi0
Once it was thought that these northern hunter gathers gradually adopted farming over that thousand years but thanks to DNA analysis we know that's not the case.
Who built the Neolithic stone circles, cromlechs and tombs of Portugal and Spain? Why did these people make strange plaque shaped idols? Where did they come from and who are the Bell Beaker people who invaded Iberia and replaced the megalith culture? All such questions are answered in this documentary about Neolithic Iberia.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJLTXmHuEbI
Cannibalism is seen in many cultures around the world, including in prehistoric Europe (eg the Upper Paleolithic / Mesolithic Magdalenian site of Gough's Cave in Cheddar Gorge). But the Neolithic is a time of settled farmers and herders. Were these people really cannibals?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NFri78q4b8
In this video we're looking at three sites: Herxheim, Germany; El Toro Cave in Malaga, Spain; and Fontbrégoua Cave in Provence, France.
Were these prehistoric Europeans desperate people facing starvation? Were they honouring their own people in complex mortuary rites? Or were they feasting on their enemies?
And were they even practicing cannibalism at all?
Thank you for posting, really digging that Rutti track so far!
How about Track 11?
The key here is to identify which music fits the gracile archetype we are trying to promote.
This one sounds like Musk giving his VIP guests a guided tour of the finished spaceship and then giving a speech about the importance of space travel!

I myself don't like the BGM. We are talking about this one, aren't we?

"There is something about their music that fits Aryan personality archetypes, wouldn't you agree?"
I don't know about their other works, but this one is far too grandiose, a better match with Homo Hubris attitudes. I think we should be promoting much simpler and less texturally dense arrangements with much more empty space (would you at least agree this BGM contains very little empty space?).
As a rough guideline, I think we could potentially classify music as robust or gracile, in which case it is obviously gracile music that should correspond to us. The above BGM, on the other hand, surely belongs to the robust category. Would you agree?
"Romance Anónimo" (Anonymous Romance) is a piece for guitar, also known as "Estudio en Mi de Rubira" (Study in E by Rubira), "Spanish Romance", "Romance de España", "Romance de Amor", "Romance of the Guitar", "Romanza" and "Romance d'Amour" among other names.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romance_(guitar_piece)
Its origins and authorship are currently in question. It is suspected of originally being a solo instrumental guitar work, from the 19th century. It has variously been attributed to Antonio Rubira, David del Castillo,[1] Francisco Tárrega, Fernando Sor, Daniel Fortea, Miguel Llobet, Antonio Cano, Vicente Gómez, and Narciso Yepes. The Anónimo (anonymous) part of its name has been incorporated over the years due to this uncertainty. The question of authorship has probably been propagated by three main reasons: the lack of claim by its true author, the desire to avoid paying copyright fees, and the desire of publishing companies to claim the lucrative copyright of this world-famous piece.[2]
The style of the piece is that of the Parlour music of the late 19th century in Spain or South America, having a closed three-part form: the first in the minor key and the second being in the major key, with the third being a restatement of the first.
Parlour music is a type of popular music which, as the name suggests, is intended to be performed in the parlours of houses, usually by amateur singers and pianists. Disseminated as sheet music, its heyday came in the 19th century, as a result of a steady increase in the number of households with enough surplus cash to purchase musical instruments and instruction in music, and with the leisure time and cultural motivation to engage in recreational music-making. Its popularity waned in the 20th century as the phonograph record and radio replaced sheet music as the most common method of dissemination of popular music.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parlour_music
The visuals and the soundtrack made me feel like I was literally back in the Golden Age. The soundtrack (Protectors of the Earth by Two Steps From Hell) would make a good fit for a future Aryan Diffusion video series. Two Steps From Hell was also used in the (flawed) Hitler documentary TGSNT. There is something about their music that fits Aryan personality archetypes, wouldn't you agree?
Until recently, Britain's Stonehenge was thought to be the world's oldest set of stone monuments. But a recent discovery in the Turkish region of Gobekli Tepe has been estimated to be over 6,000 years older.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAFKM-hjlwA
Thousands of years before anyone thought to construct pointy Egyptian tombs or arrange mysterious stone circles, there was Göbekli Tepe: a 20th century archaeological discovery in Turkey that predates civilization itself.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSG1MsQSo_A
Old U.S. spy satellite images of the Middle East have unearthed a stunning discovery: the world’s first city, Tell Brak – 4,000 years older than the Great Pyramids.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7aYij-RuBU
In the first of a three part series, we cover the earliest origins of agriculture in settlements throughout the Near East, and the great monuments their peoples erected.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-bQx0ZtHUw
In the second episode of our three part series, we examine the agricultural developments of the 9th millennium BC, and how they led to the rise and fall of the mega sites of the later Pre-Pottery Neolithic.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b90oSidoHUY
