À propos de cet audio
For the past few hundred years, most of what we’ve been taught about the native cultures of North America came from reports authored by the conquerors and colonizers who destroyed them. Now - with the technological advances of modern archaeology and a new perspective on world history - we are finally able to piece together their compelling true stories. In Ancient Civilizations of North America, Professor Edwin Barnhart, Director of the Maya Exploration Center, will open your eyes to a fascinating world you never knew existed - even though you’ve been living right next to it, or even on top of it, for as long as you’ve been on the continent.
The peoples of ancient North America were exceptionally knowledgeable about their environment, but their intellectual and artistic curiosity went much beyond the immediate need for food and safety. Beginning thousands of years ago, and without benefit of written language, native peoples became mathematicians, construction and soil engineers, astronomers, urban planners, and more. They developed thriving cities, extensive trade routes, canals to bring water to the desert, and earthworks we still marvel over today.
In 24 exciting lectures, you’ll learn about the vibrant cities of Poverty Point, the first city in North America, built about 3,500 years ago, and Cahokia, the largest city of ancient North America. You’ll explore the many ways in which the Chacoan environment provided cultural and religious focus for peoples of the southwest. And you’ll learn about the Iroquoian source of some of our most basic “American” values.

Language defines us as a species, placing humans head and shoulders above even the most proficient animal communicators. But it also beguiles us with its endless mysteries, allowing us to ponder why different languages emerged, why there isn't simply a single language, how languages change over time and whether that's good or bad, and how languages die out and become extinct.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 43
Civilization was born 8,000 years ago, between the floodplains of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, when migrants from the surrounding mountains and deserts began to create increasingly sophisticated urban societies. In the cities that they built, half of human history took place. In Babylon, Paul Kriwaczek tells the story of Mesopotamia from the earliest settlements seven thousand years ago to the eclipse of Babylon in the sixth century BCE. Bringing the people of this land to life in vibrant detail, the author chronicles the rise and fall of power during this period.

Every day of your life is spent surrounded by mysteries that involve what appear to be rather ordinary human behaviors. What makes you happy? Where did your personality come from? Why do you have trouble controlling certain behaviors? Why do you behave differently as an adult than you did as an adolescent?Since the start of recorded history, and probably even before, people have been interested in answering questions about why we behave the way we do.

Following the surge of interest and pride in Celtic identity since the 19th century, much of what we thought we knew about the Celts has been radically transformed.

Important primer to prehistory in America
This fits nicely with the online course I took on Indigenous History. Because it covers the period before European contact, there is very little overlap with that course.
It does a lot to expand my understanding of what "Civilization" really means.

Excellent
The content of this course was excellent especially for this time with the discovery of numerous unmarked graves at residential schools. It gave a great background to the native North American civilization and some of their accomplishments. I was impressed to learn that the American constitution borrowed heavily from the Iroquois. I will listen to this course again as I expect to get more out of it with a second listen.

Interesting course on an overlooked topic
Very nice lecture series, though it the same time a bit sad, given the end.

Ancient Civilizations In My Backyard
February 2022 | 4/5
This was fascinating and the author kept the content engaging and easy to digest. I found the companion guide to be incredibly useful in understanding the locations and technologies being discussed - and Holy moly is it thick. Easily a course in its own.
Generally when I'm learning about ancient cultures, the material is focused on sites in Europe or Africa, but this course opens my eyes to ancient civilizations that left their mark on the earth in my own back yard.
Super cool read and listen.

Quite interesting stuff although reading about unwritten history is sometimes a bit boring. overall performance is good but editing is a bit slopy in couple places, not very often tough so overall i give a 4 star for performance.

Required listening
I was worried a little that this would be a white-wash (heh) of indigenous history. Thankfully it was not. While this is coming from a settler perspective, it is far superior to any other takes on indigenous history from a Western perspective I've heard before, and the lecturer seems keenly aware of that.
