history is often shown as a linear
progression mankind evolving as a
society developing ever more complex
technology and larger and larger
societies this mainstream idea of our
past being the only plausible history
for many there are however a whole range
of different ideas on humanity's
development in antiquity the multiple
theories on the history of Egypt and who
built the pyramids along with the
stories of Atlantis giving us some
fantastically gilded images of our past
however from time to time evidence does
come to light that shakes up or smashes
these established ideas we took a look
at this idea with the discovery of the
land of MU in another video when
geologists discovered a new lost
continent in the indo-pacific ocean this
rediscovery of a once unlost Society has
happened again this time in India in
this video we take a look at the lost
civilization and see if it has any
connection to the legendary
civilizations of the past welcome to if

an indian western state has been hiding
a secret for tens of thousands of years
archaeologists from the area known as
maharashtra have just uncovered a
collection of rock carvings revealing a
long lost civilization the region named
khon kaen is home to thousands of
hillocks these being the location of the
discovery of petroglyphs somehow these
ancient rock carvings have remained
undiscovered most of them were hidden
beneath layers of soil and mud but a few
were in the open these were considered
holy and worshiped by locals in some
areas the difficulty in clearly slin
these rock works of art coming from the
layers of mud and soil that covered them
the archaeologists were tipped off to
the presence of the petroglyphs because
of a few locals who still worshiped at
the locations where these images would
uncovered these Indian villagers praying
at the feet of animals birds human
figures and geometrical designs carved
deep into the rock the way the
petroglyphs have been drawn and their
similarity to those found in other parts
of the world have led experts to believe
that they were created in prehistoric
times and are possibly among the oldest
ever discovered the archaeologists were
surprised when they viewed these
petroglyphs this because they are
strikingly similar to others carved at
ancient sites spanning the globe could
this be yet more evidence that there was
a singular global culture in the past
this culture destroyed and humanity cast
to the corners of the globe to rebuild
in what became the fractured cultures of
today's planet the dates given by the
Maharashtra State archaeology department
but in these glyphs around twelve
thousand years of age the discovery of
these petroglyphs has been credited to
suit Harrisburg and Manoj Marathi
these pair explored the area after
seeing a few images in the region and
witnessing worship at village temples
also listening to local folklore after
hearing these stories and talking with
the elders of the community
they began their hunt locals would often
bring them photographs of carvings they
had uncovered or discovered this local
help enabled him to find engravings at
52 different locations
strangely only five local villages had
any idea that these amazing artifacts
were so nearby the two explorers are
working hard to preserve these sites at
the same time studying them hoping to
reveal the hidden secrets of the lost
civilization what has been revealed is
that these glyphs are thought to have
been created by a hunter-gatherer
society they reached this conclusion
from the types of images which were
carved into the rock these did not
include farming activities but mostly
wild creatures from land and sea these
most likely being the animals birds and
fish the civilization hunted there are
images of sharks and whales as well as
amphibians turtles hippos and rhinoceros
which oddly aren't found in this part of
India did the people who created them
migrated to India from Africa or will
these animals once found in India once
again it would seem that the evidence is
pointing to a singular culture this then
leads us into the many different ideas
on what disaster or disasters white this
founding civilization from the planet do
you think there was once a single human
culture spanning the globe do you think
this could explain the many
commonalities found in cultures
separated by land time and culture let
