1. This list remind me of James Frey's trilogy about these civilizations.
2. what about the mayans?
3. Mohen-Jo-Daro.. Jo as in Joey. What the heck is Mohin "Yo" Daro?
4. I just love how people cite climate change as the end of an ancient culture but then maintain that heavy taxes, regulation and government control over every aspect of one's life can stop it. Religion is crazy.
5. u haven't updated. Aryan group was originated in India. there was no invasion from Europe.
6. Culture does not equal civilization, and urbanity does not equal civility.
   Agricultural does not equal sophistication..
7. is it at all possible that Bjorn iron side had something to do with the disappearance of the Olmec?
8. Where did they go? we just don't know perhaps its the ancient aliens.
9. Great video.
   A curious fact about the Indus valley civilization is that some of their ruins are radioactive and the one at MohanJodaro seems to have been wiped out in a cataclysmic event- Alien invasion speculations ;)
10. Its prounounced Meh-so/Mehs-oh not Me-Zo
    
    Sorry had to correct that, I lived in Panama in Central America for a few years and they always pronounced it Meh-soh/Mehs-oh
11. ON THE MINOANS: There were two written languages used in the Minoan culture. Linear B is an early form of Greek. Linear A represents an unknown language.
12. People keep asking about the Maya. They never disappeared. Like the Cherokee or Apache etc. they were conquered by invaders (the Spanish in this case) but they are still there in southern Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Belize and El Salvador.
13. "And We Have Destroyed generations before you when they did wrong, their messengers
    came to them with clear signs, but they would not believe, and so do We Requite those
    criminals. Then We have Made you successors in the land after them to See how ye
    would behave"
    "Have not they seen how many generations before them We Have destroyed, We Have
    Given them the means to domesticate the land that we Have not Given you, and We Have
    Sent the rain in abundance on them, and We Have Caused rivers to flow beneath them,
    yet We Have Destroyed them for their sins, and We Have Raised after them other
    generations."
    "And how many generations We Have Destroyed after Nooh (Noah), and enough is thy
    LORD to Note and to See the sins of His slaves."
    
    
    In the future our modern global civilisation may also come to an abrupt end....
    
    I always sense a connection between History/Science and Religion....
14. Why do you mispronounce so many things?
15. tenochtitlan: Ten-oatch-teet-lan.

16. What happened to the Aztecs, Mayans, or the incas? Where did all those people go and why?
17. Ancient civilization lost because of...climate change? Bwahahahahahaha. Thanks for the laugh, Top Tenz.
18. Dude just butchered the pronunciation of Monjodaro.. Though anyways I visited the area a few years ago its only like 4 hours drive from where I live and its a remarkable site. I would recommend visiting it if any of you ever visit Pakistan. But please be careful of it if you do, we've already destroyed most of the artifacts already due to industrialization and tourism
19. Quite amazing. These lost civilizations should make us more appreciative of the world we currently live in. How easily civilization can be lost!
