Lost Worlds of the Mediterranean (Full Episode) | Drain the Oceans

This series is one of the best available. Keep it going and please do more ocean floor scans for us to enjoy! I much prefer ancient history rather than war vehicles but I'm good with either.

I absolutely LOVED this documentary, thank you so much for creating and uploading it! 💗

Wonderful to learn about history in this way, great documentary, Nat Geo never disappoints! Thank you so much for creating and sharing!!!!

Agradecendo a Nat Geo por esta postagem que é ao mesmo tempo informativa-didática-entretenimento. Valeu!!!

I'm so proud to be Greek! I love our history! And all the other countries' history ofc! Imagine if we could unite our intellegence and leave out wars and money! We could accomplish anything!

Absolutely thank 👍you for freely offering this on UAclips for so many to enjoy and learn from.
It is masterfully produced - top scientists, top graphics, and top narration.
What a 👍treat!

Great chapter of history told in a so fantastic way. This is enterteinment!

I appreciate the general truth behind this series. I also appreciate that this series is taking on a more factual approach than that of Anc. Aliens on the H Channel, which I do not respect (that series or channel).
This series, on the opposite end, focuses on the truth, what we do know or can truly infer, and what conclusions we can now draw from these legitimate and factual findings under the seas/oceans.
Please continue this series and remain true to providing truth to the world so as to educate us and our youth with empowered knowledge in the betterment of furthering our society.

Miss Cyprus so much, Mediterranean sea is truly one of the best seas on Earth 🌍 ❤full of myth and history

Why i love National Geography...!
What a Documentary🔥

Very cool thanks . My dad used to live on Cyprus and snorkeled off the beach .
he found a bunch of broken pots .
Took some to show the folks at the museum , who immediately confiscated them .
He did bring me one of the pot necks , inner diameter 70 mm overall 300 mm .
The handles were flatter than the ones seen here . :-)

Love Antarctic information. Why do we not have any more information on Admiral Byrd and his encounter with other life forms or the valley he was taken to? Was it real or not? Does anyone know?

Absolutely fascinating. One of my favorites! Saved! Sitting here wondering who I can share it with.

It is amazing what is under the ocean and inland ocean volcano's in this region are massive and very destructive but amazing to learn and see what people back then build how Smart they where is amazing

A very interesting study. I liked the section with the Amphora jars too.

Sudden environment change may be equivalent to "wrath of the gods". It's great that science can help us identify these changes. It'd be nice to find them, time them, and measure them. Figure out how often they occur, where and how big. Tons of near extinction events. Sadly some changes, like water tables in Punjab, put a billion people at risk. Twice I saw floods wipe out neighborhoods down by the river in my city and those homes stunk. Everything had to be thrown out. Yeah, definitely a problem.

Loved the science and the wonderful animations. Could have done without the melodramatic narration - the plain facts are dramatic enough! Please keep the solid content coming.

I didn't know that they only use those jars a few times and I had no idea how much they weigh. Of course it's hard to get this scale sometimes and I'm sure they were different sizes

It's interesting that the amphora shape took hundreds of years to evolve to perfection. (Because it looks weird and terrible) I wish they would have shown WHY they're so specifically shaped.

That for giving us the opportunity to watch - love watch all your stuff you do (artifacts are always intriguing). Brings the human factor in play

After watching a well documented issue like this, I struggle to understand how people can think that putting a tax on carbon will have any impact whatsoever on the forces of nature. I am not sure if it is to be associated with ignorance or arrogance. 43:45 is a perfect explanation of our relevancy in regard to the incredible forces that the earth has.

3600 years ago, ancient humans knew how to press olive oil, among many many many other, now incredible things.
Humans are amazing, really amazing for a doomed species.

Such a great series!

This is a great documentary!

A great series!

This episode was meant for me, always love hearing about greek history and mythology ever since i played assassins creed odyssey 💁‍♂️

While in this video, they claim a date for 1625 BCE for the eruption if Thera, the trfra( pumice and ash from the eruption that fell as far away as the Nile Delta , some 4-500 miles away in the sediments have been dated to Circa 1550 BCE based upon pollen dating, this also coincides with the Ahmose Stele telling of darkness falling over Egypt, and a great storm coming over the land. The eruption estimated at VEI 7+ emptied the magma chamber of approximately 10 cubic kilometers and the volcanic cone subsided into it both causing the Tsunami and pulling water from all the Oceans as the Mediterranean attempted to stabilize. Along with it, there would be gale force winds being pulled to the eruption column as the heated air rose with the tefra . Additionally, to crack the staircase at Aquateri, the earthquake would have been at least magnitude of 7+ , not unusual preceeding an eruption. Especially with it mist likely occurring due to mivement if the African plate , possibly causing the known tectonic boundary that crosses Anatolia has been known to have a zipper effect even leading into Mainland Greece. So far, no one has considered the acoustic effect of the eruption. When Krakatoa erupted in 1863 CE, the sound was described as a cannon being shot nearby, 3000 miles from the eruption. Imagine what the people in Crete would have heard only 70 miles away, surely the “ Gods” must be angry..
If the Stories from Mycenae have any possible bearing as to the general relations between Crete and Mycenae then after the eruption, Mycenae then invaded Crete, as there is evidence that much of the remaining population on Crete moved to virtually inaccessible locations in the mountains. Such a move is usually for defensive purposes.

is there a part two!? I love this!

Great documentary!

Like Yellowstone, Krakatoa and a few others, if the bay of Naples blows up, the entire planet would be in very very deep trouble.

that also tells you that earthquakes were a common feature to the area at the time. They just started rebuilding like it was a common thing to do.

😊👍Great documentary!
Humans have short lives, and short memories.
They tend to live in blissful ignorance of their likely sudden demise.
Even when told of it, they ignore it, and pretend it won't happen to them, until it does!
.

How do they know it was “one of the biggest eruptions in the history of the planet “? It’s been around for ~4 billion years. Maybe they meant it was one of the top 50% biggest eruptions in Earth’s history. But even then…?

Yay the narrator is Craig Sechler, the voice actor from Oblivion who voiced all male elves, including the "Adoring Fan"!
Have to watch the Azura's star music video by young scrolls again!

WSPANIAŁY PROGRAM...

Does anyone know if these scans are in public domain or made public or anything? It would be fascinating to poke at data like that

Who knew the area I want to visit most is actually an active underwater volcano?

Fascinating. Thanks for posting this video.

Awesome documentary💖

This was AMAZING!👀🙃 They are literally built on volcanoes under the sea. Oh my God. May we not doubt the God who can judge nations and cities again. Oh my God.🙏🏾💕

I appreciate how you treat the rostrum (ram) of a Roman galley like it was some kind of mysterious thing... I don't expect your audience to be an expert on naval archeology, then again, neither am I...

I bet there was some epic naval battles back in the day.

History is my passion!!!!!!

Waves of ten meters high? Sounds like the story of "Atlantis sinking" could have been about this. I'm a firm believer that Atlantis never existed. It most likely was an important place that went the same way as shown here but was never called Atlantis when it was around. Only difference is the time frame. However, between the time Atlantis supposedly existed and this event would be a couple thousand years. Could have been the same volcano just different eruptions.

Great video, have always known there’s more to life than meets the eye, I feel like in this life i am supposed to be doing more than i am doing for the people i love. been seeking for an eye opening enlightenment, a way to be more influential, powerful and protected. .

+Drain the Ocean" - this episodes are insane !

Great and amazing video. I loved this

This is Astonishing!👀 I have a question. Do you think that volcanoes exist under the ocean that result in what we call Tsunamis???👀🤔💭 I am intrigued.🙃😊 THIS IS GOOD KNOWLEDGE!😊🎉👏🏾🎉

Excellence personified, I'm a proud subscriber!

Neat to see human behaviour has not changed at all.

Q. "Why did the historian Polybius wait almost a century to tell of this great battle?"
A. Well. To be honest... There could be various reasons why.
1. If he was apart of the battle... He could have been traumatized by its impact and needed time to process such a deadly assault that took so many lives and precious cargo.
2. He could have been sworn into secrecy about the events. Leaving him unable to speak about it until years later.
3. Maybe he was just waiting for the right time to tell what all really happened.
All these are logical reasons. There is no doubt according to all the archaeologists uncovered that their finds and Polybius story reveal and confirm the same events. Great finds! This is a GREAT documentary!🥰👍🏾💯 Excited to learn new truths.

The idea of drying up of the ocean occurs in the history of the world for the first time in the oldest Historical Epic Ramayana (see the 5th Canto) of India.

Amazing facts of history

IF you read Dolores Cannons "CONVULATED UNIVERSE" this documentary makes total sense.

See in the first few minutes, where paintings are shown of men with cattle. As I am a firm believer in 'giants' of varying heights, I noticed the oddity of the cattle, in comparison with that of those ( the men) shown. Many have not yet learned/accepted the business of giants being a normal part of the past world/civilizations, even being around in certain isolated areas today !

Very interesting indeed. I find it interesting that it assumes Rebuilding effects were underway with the evidence of Beds & Piles of bricks; when it would have been safer to be outdoors and could have reflected Rescue effects and injury triage.

Nolan captured that Wall of Water pretty well. jesus.

Very cool thank you for your sharing.

We must remember tho, that the levels of the Mediterranean, were much lower than they are today, allowing for many more roads from one place, to the next ! ( Something which is very hard for many to accept, as is the concept of giants, of many heights ) !

...we should never forget we are living on a Planet with Magma at the core and we have many Volcanoes....

I read a book in college called The King Must Die. it told about the bulldancers. It was entertainment for the crowds where men were put into the ring with the minotaur and told to survive. They preformed acrobatic stunts like doing flips over the minotaur. Hence the name bulldancers

I love this show

nothing quite like a good ole apocalyptic outlook, is there?

“Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty. ”
- Frank Herbert

Plato wrote about this civilization in his book.

Amazing! 💫

Amazing video!

This makes me so sad 😞 😨 pray for turkey and syria ❤️ from Netherlands

Didn't surprise me that Seneca was appalled by the party behavior on the beaches those Roman states are beautiful.

Could this be the origin of the great flood stories

Wow i love it 😍😍💐soo beautiful

A lot of great information is synthesized in this video, but the over dramatization detracts from the value. You implied that the people of Akrotiri were caught in the major eruption, but all evidence suggests that they had abandoned the site and taken their valuables before the town was buried. Also, you constantly used the word "proves" which has no scientific value. I encourage you to aim a little higher.

Nice video thanks for sharing

The last story about the ground going up and down. Why wasn't the bottom of the pillars water damaged and full of mollusks, was it because of volcanic dust?

I real documentary that isn't crazy :)

This should be shown in schools.

This was obvious that Santorini destroyed Crete and the super navy of the Minoans and this was the end of the Bronze Age.

Mediterrannean is not the middle sea.It's the middle Land So search how many thousands
of years ago it took its name.

A simple explanation is that Santorini was Atlantis. The volcanic eruption had started the earthquake and flood that broke Atlantis, destroying the island of the Atlanteans. Could this be the actual island of Atlantis destroyed by a volcano because of the greed that the Minoans had? Why did the Minoans not remember where they came from until they faded away from history?

I always wondered can the oceans can be drained

😆 zays someone who isn't afraid to be charbroiled while is at hand

Santorini probably is the Atlantis which ancient Greeks spoke, this catastrophe who ruined the advanced civilization of Minoans and Santorini's became a legend to ancient Greeks and a myth to the modern world!

the best ever fron national geographic..you tube keep it going hence planning to purchase .. bravo

i cant believe the adoring fan himself is presenting this documentary to me, by azura!!!

If we talk about the Minotaur we talk about Moloch.

So Polybius - one author- describes a battle of 400 ships - but only ten battering rams are found. But this single source, who had a bias (pro-Roman) is believed.

OMG!! :O I don't wand to live when times up for this volcanos...

Mt vosvies and campy flaygray volcanoes actually sharing the same magma chamber

"What happened to these peaceful people"
Camera pans to a mural of two people boxing 🥊

What happens to all the fish when you drain the oceans like that???

Dear people, I know that we westerners have trouble with the pronunciation of modern Greek, but if Dr Nomikou did correctly pronounce the name

I Truely Believe there may be Civilizations even Before 3.600 B.C.

The fall of Crete being due to Santorini is something we got in elementary school. Why repeat it here?

I wonder what will be left of our civilization in 2,000 years. What will be left of our cities and skyscrapers? Not much I suspect.

I sure wouldn't want to be living anywhere near a volcano now and especially not in the middle of it in these last days!!!
When God moves every mountain and island out of their places it would be a very bad place to be!!!
But who knows they might be the lucky ones???

MY CLASS LOVES CNN10! Our boys think that the robot animation was cool. The ladies love the story about the world's oldest dog.

Something new I learned .. Better move from the underground volcano .. 😀

caused by pyroclastic flows? looks more like giants did it to me - I can see one of their footprints at 10:58 - about a 1/3 of the screen up from the bottom and a little right of center - you can see the toe prints, and a heel print about 1/3 down from the top (and a bit to the left) - had to be an Atlantean ...Maybe the Titan Atlas, himself ..

You're literally showing the exact location, not keeping it secret.

Nat Geo really just said "Greece was Europe's first civilization" 👀 that's just completely factually incorrect
