hello friends welcome to new happy learning video today we're going to learn about our
00:00:00
prehistory the first thing we need to know is that our prehistory is divided into three
00:00:12
different periods Paleolithic Neolithic and the metal ages the Paleolithic begins with the
00:00:21
appearance of the first human beings and ends 8,000 years before Christ during the
00:00:36
Paleolithic period people were nomads meaning that they didn't live in one
00:00:44
place no they were constantly on the move in search of animals to hunt as
00:00:48
they were hunters and gatherers they needed to follow the animals in order to
00:00:55
capture them and at the same time they collected wild fruits they found on
00:00:59
their way they lived in tribes in small groups formed by families and they found
00:01:05
refuge in caves where they would paint on the wall these paintings were done
00:01:14
with a mixture of charcoal earth animal fat and water look here are a few
00:01:20
examples the truth is it's absolutely fascinating to think that these first
00:01:26
paintings these first artistic representations were drawn thousands of
00:01:32
years ago, don't you think? Both Paleolithic men and women were animal skins which they
00:01:37
had hunted previously, and they used tools such as an axe and spears made out of stones,
00:01:46
wood and bones which they themselves carved. With the passing of time, or rather centuries,
00:01:54
these first human beings became more and more intelligent and they began to domesticate
00:02:04
animals such as dogs goats sheep and pigs they also began to cultivate plants
00:02:10
which were then eaten with the arrival of agriculture and farming everything
00:02:17
changed man stopped being a nomad and became sedentary and the first villages
00:02:24
were made this is when the Paleolithic period ends and the Neolithic begins the
00:02:30
The Neolithic started 8 million years before Christ when we discovered agriculture and
00:02:37
farming and it finished 5000 years BC with the beginning of the metal ages.
00:02:42
Men and women in the Neolithic produced food by cultivating the land and domesticating
00:02:49
animals.
00:02:55
We can say that they were the first farmers and agriculturalists of our history, better
00:02:56
yet our pre-history.
00:03:02
As they had to look after their crops and animals, they constructed small villages and
00:03:04
began to settle in them permanently, meaning that they transformed into sedentary, not
00:03:10
like the Paleolithic, who were nomads because they were moving constantly.
00:03:16
The first Neolithic settlements were situated in very fertile lands, near rivers, so they
00:03:21
could access water easily needed for their crops as well as allowing their
00:03:28
animals to drink you know how important water is in our life the first plants
00:03:34
that were cultivated were cereals such as wheat or pulses like chickpeas but do
00:03:42
you know which were the first animals to be domesticated well it was dogs sheep
00:03:48
goats and pigs during the Neolithic era many interesting things were invented
00:03:56
such as ceramic and fabric but the most important invention was the wheel
00:04:08
everything became so easy for men and women in the Neolithic especially when
00:04:15
they started using metals this is the point where the Neolithic ended and a
00:04:21
A new era in prehistory commenced, the Metal Ages, which commenced approximately 6,500
00:04:26
years BC and finished when the first written language was born.
00:04:36
First metal which was used was copper, then bronze, which is a mixture of copper and tin,
00:04:41
and finally iron, which is a much more abundant mineral and therefore easier to find in nature.
00:04:51
In order to mold these metals, they were melted at extremely high temperatures and transformed
00:04:58
into the desired shape.
00:05:07
This is how utensils like tools, weapons and decorations were made.
00:05:09
This process is called metallurgy.
00:05:14
Through metallurgy, crafts and trade began.
00:05:18
The metallurgists were the first specialized craftsmen, as the metallurgy is a very complex
00:05:22
and difficult task, which few knew how to do.
00:05:29
The rise of Bulgarian production and the appearance of crafts caused bartering, that is the exchange
00:05:34
of products.
00:05:41
This is when trade began.
00:05:44
over time made some villages grow in size, turning into cities. This then created large
00:05:48
commercial and cultural exchange between these new cities and new inventions, such as sailboats
00:05:58
and wagons used to transport goods were made. Trade also changed society by creating social
00:06:04
classes, the rich and the poor, the powerful and the slaves. During the metal ages, people
00:06:12
People began questioning the mysteries of life as well as death and the first religious
00:06:21
representations arose.
00:06:27
Constructions called megaliths were created with large blocks of stone.
00:06:32
Mega meaning large and liths stone.
00:06:38
The simplest megalith was the menir, a large stone reverted vertically into the ground.
00:06:42
were also constructed such as the ones we see in these images.
00:06:50
The metal ages ended with the first written language about 4000 years ago and with this
00:06:55
prehistory comes to an end but history commences!
00:07:01
Did you find learning about prehistory interesting?
00:07:06
Paleolithic, Neolithic and the metal ages?
00:07:09
We definitely did because by getting to know our past we understand our present and make
00:07:13
our future better! Goodbye friends, see you next time and don't forget to subscribe to
