I really like this channel and watch it often. My only criticism is too much 'YouTube over-gesturing'. My advice as a gesture researcher - Use your hands to highlight what really matters, not to fill every second of screen time: let your gestures land on key words, contrasts, and transitions so they naturally follow the rhythm of your message. Think âunderline, not wallpaperâ: a few clear, well-timed movements will make you look more focused and energetic than constant random-seeming waving or windmilling ever will.

This is so interesting. Both how ancient civilisations have share experiences and create legends to document them (will o the whisp) and the science behind them.

There is no word "unexplainable." The word for something that can't be explained is inexplicable.

Most people don't know how most things work. That's the beauty of product. Like Cars. I have zero clue how to fix it. I can't even reconnect the little hose for the washer fluid, cuz I don't know where it goes. Yet, I'm perfectly able to drive any vehicle with great precision, I was a driver in the Army. So I don't appreciate the whole "gee people are dumb and don't know how bikes work" thing, and I'm not gonna watch this.

I recall reading a book by Thor Heyerdahl, called Aku Aku where they raised one of the Easter Island statues and reset the topknot (pukao) back in 1955.
Also, it wasn't weather and erosion that toppled the statues, they were knocked down by a tribe of slaves, called the short-ears, when they revolted and wiped out most of the long-ears. I did read the book nearly 30 years ago, so details are a little shaky.

So much of the Easter island segment is false.

Synchronised vomiting? Isn't that weirder than raining meat?

What a load of bull excreta. So the people who experienced meat rain didn't care to look up in the sky to see the vultures? Or were the people of the Time stupid like you who made the video

Could those wisps come from a newly fertilized corn field? That would explain stuff!

Started eating my roast beef leftovers, put on this video
@feedthesnake339410:40 "DON'T FOLLOW THE LIGHTS." -Smeagol.
@ElijahRose-u6f5:12 Ligthnings DO shoot out from the ground.
@AndrewSternkernWhatever, the bloop came from R'lyeh.
@jwcrummettIn the thumbnail it looks like a family portrait.
@DAVIDALANJONESRIDGEâ2 to 6 METERS per minuteâ is slow, but definitely fast enough to be very easily observed.
Perhaps that was meant to be âcentimetersâ?
almost 1 week ago before the eq..i have seen a red ball of light shooting upwards in the middle of the sea. just before 7.4 magnitude Turkey EQ on 17th August 1999. And also a purple light a day later but this was already in the sky it grew bigger and bigger then disappeared. i was at around 300km from the epicenter .
@Gero-Warhorn0:17 the definition of unexplained varies between 1 search and a History Channel original series.
@Lericah4902I feel like I would have skipped this video if the meat thing had been the thumbnail instead of Easter Island because đ¤˘.
@barbaradesigns9395How much meat fell in that 'shower', because they always make it out like the whole town was covered in meat, and some vultures vomiting obviously doesn't explain that
@RujewitbloodWhen you hear the word; âProbablyâ in an explanation, then that means that Science has not solved the mystery; itâs just a guess.
@RanaRene2022I saw the ground lightning from the 2014 Napa Earthquake! One of the weirdest things Iâve ever witnessed
@adampaulsen12665 unexplainable mysteries explained by science - except for the ones you state are "probably caused". Probable does not mean explained.
@sslaytorIts gross for the ones who tasted it
@urdaddyshandle-r5o3gBro tasted it đ 2:43
@NndanduleniTitusMukwevhoHow much are the aliens paying you
@josephamdahl1980So 2011 Elon says 10-20 years then In 2025 he says 5 years still pretty much the right target.
If we donât go to mars we die out.
If microbes gotta go thatâs fine. Scientists had s sole access to mars. Time to colonize
I love that mysteries are often solved by âyeah they just did it. It was heavy so maybe 15.â
@carlwilk62187:00 The pioneers really DID used to ride those babies for miles đŽ
@egalva1Those statues also have legs buried underneath
@PrinzessinDampfhammerWhat era of hair is this from Hank
@vaibhav6826Kudos to you for giving the measurements in metric units! Many, many USA youtubers simply ignore the fact that 190+ countries use the metric system. I've lost count of how many videos I've abandoned unseen because they would only mention those imperial measurements that lack standardization and have often arbitrary relationships between units.
@blima-19633:09 It was the freakin CATALINA WINE MIXER!
@Scuzzle-v2x12 Tons pulled by 15 People? YeahâŚ
@lorenor_9323Vulture vomit. Yum.
@robertmurphy6772The meat shower solution seems quite dubious, seems like people would have noticed a big swarm of vultures and even if they were flying to high to be seen it would seem that this would happen occur Moore frequently.
@dwharbin8:56 2-6 meters per minute?
