In September of 1940, an 18-year-old mechanic named Marcel Ravidat was walking his dog, Robot, in the countryside of Southwestern France when the dog disappeared down a hole. Robot eventually returned but the next day, Ravidat went to the spot with three friends to explore the hole.
And after quite a bit of digging, they discovered a cave with walls covered with paintings, including over 900 paintings of animals, horses, stags, bison and also species that are now extinct, including a wooly rhinoceros. The paintings were astonishingly detailed and vivid with red, yellow and black paint made from pulverized mineral pigments that were usually blown through a narrow tube, possibly a hollowed bone, onto the walls of the cave. It would eventually be established that these artworks were at least 17,000 years old.

Ohai everybody! Something different today, make sure to watch it to the end!
John Green is reading one of his reviews of our modern world, from his Podcast The Anthropocene Reviewed, which you should check out! https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/anthropocene-reviewed
I haven’t said this often enough publicly, but John and Hank Green, the Vlogbrothers and first generation science Youtubers are the reason Kurzgesagt exists today. In the very literal sense, that when I saw the first episode of Crash Course World History as a student in university I decided to try to do something similar. Doing Kurzgesagt was very hard for the first few years, for a variety of reasons. What made it easier was the kind advice and real world help we got from John and Hank to make this channel work and not burn out. Over the years we became friends – and to me the genuine nature of their work is still inspiring. My team and I try to do the same with Kurzgesagt. To be driven by the values we believe in and not by the outside world.
So when John asked me if we maybe would illustrate and animate one of his essays, it was an easy yes. This is the result and we hope you like it. Thank you for watching and reading – Philipp
Where is the vid on Entropy?
Posted 2 days ago video uploaded 9 hours ago

I never got my bird
Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell it says 10 hours ago but ur comment is 2 day wtf
How poetic should we make this episode?
John: YES
Yeeeth
Yes, this is _that_ John Green, of CrashCourse and The Fault In Our Stars.
Edit: and the cofounder of VidCon
Seems like they had a lazy day and couldn’t come up with their own content
don’t forget turtles all the way down
vlog brothers man, they talk about literature, mental health, life every week.
@TK UA That’s all you have to say? We get more content; something different for a change but still beautiful, and you feel the need to complain about it and call them lazy?
@Strw Brry Someone was banned for harassment? OH NO, MUST BE CONSPIRACY!!1!!1!one1! Did you even stop to think what you wrote?
I just finished watching hours of John Greene’s Crash Course US History for school and now I get to listen to his godly voice for another 8 minutes sign me up
Are you aware of SciShow and his brother Hank Green that hosts most of the episodes?
John green: *talks about how life was short and difficult*
Me: sad unga bunga
Imagine your caveman friend painted over your painting
**Angry Oonga Boonga noises**
“You are not new.”
So incredibly poignant.
You are not special too. 🙂
Imagine a Kurzgesagt that didn’t give me an existential crisis.
Speak for yourself. This one gave me existential crisis just the same.
There’s the episodes that explain subatomic particles, or the immune system or how ants wage war….. Those are my favorite episodes ;D
Ok, there’s also the political ones, the vaccinations and the addictions videos. Those are even better.
this made me want to watch “the croods” again
Same
Bruh, completely forgot that movie existed.
Crazy how art is prolific across all human history. Like a timeless language that speaks to everyone, no matter when or where we’re from.
If you are interested on a fascinating take for why it seems like art is the timeless language for all – a nececety for human life i recommend Geoffrey Millers “the mating mind”.
Humans have been evolutionary incentivized to create and invent in order to improve the odds of survival. It’s not too much of a stretch to assume that survival instinct to create is what gave way to art.
@sabelch True, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that somehow humans created similar art whilst having no way to communicate on a global scale…
Art is just visual. Nature is art. Manmade art is just artifice.
It probably doesn’t speak to blind people though. Unless you know, they make the art in brail
“If you have been or had a child”
*I was born at a very young age*
“Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes”
@Danijel J. with every hour, light passes 1079252848.8 kilometres. That’s roughly 87400 earths of length.
You dropped the most important part!
“I give the handprint stencils at Lascaux 4 1/2 stars.”
I was waiting for:
“… I give handprints four ‘n’ a half stars.”
Kurzgesagt: “Just the act of looking at something can ruin it”
Science asylum: “actually quantum mechanics requires it”
I am surprised we don’t see the “Cool S” painted in these caves.
In the distant future, I’m sure humans will find “glyphs” of that sort that come from our era! Can you imagine how wild their interpretations of the meaning of the glyphs could be? Maybe they’ll think the “cool s” is a religious symbol…makes me wonder how many meaningless memes and doodles ended up on cave walls, things to which we attach meaning, but were just “a cool s” at the time, you know?
great, now I want a Lemmino and Kurzgesagt collab video
“This is a handprint, not a hand.”
is a good quote.
Its an over dramatic wank.
“This is not the thing itself, but a shadow of it, this is a hand print, but not a hand, this is a memory that you cannot return to”
Damn that’s deep
yeah that hit like a wall of bricks
Just goes to show that they were people with the same thoughts and emotions as us now, just from a different era. We never changed, just the circumstances in which we live in, in a world that they carved out for us. Even though we’re just one of 8 billion, we help carve out the future for society just like they did. We chose how big of an impact we make, by inspiring others to be better people and to do great things.
This is beautiful
Let’s give kurzgesagt a hand for everything he’s done for us
It’s not just one person. There’s lots of work that go into these videos by many people
5:04 honestly, the fact that the art was similar cross-culturally has me seriously thinking about Carl Jung’s beliefs on the collective unconscious. This video is so profound in so many ways, one of the very few videos that I got chills from and even emotional over. Thank you so much for sharing.
