LOOKS LIKE HE WENT OFF THE DEEP END IN HIS OLD AGE, HERE WE ARE IN 2012 AND THESE FILTHY OLD HIPPIES ARE STILL BABLING ABOUT THE PLANKTON DISAPEARING FROM THE OCEANS. NO, WE STILL EAT CATTLE??? YES THE RAIN FOREST IS STILL THERE, EVEN AFTER ALL THE DIRE PREDICTIONS. YES, THE GLOBAL WARMING COMMUNITY WAS CAUGHT AND EXPOSED AS TOTAL FUCKING LIARS JUST RECENTLY IN A LITTLE INCIDENT KNOWN AS "CLIMATE GATE" PROBABLY CENSORED FROM EUROPEAN MEDIA. EUROPEANS ARE LIKE SHEEP FACISTCOMMUNISTSOCIALIST=SHEEP
ten thousand view in 1/11 of this "After the warmin" then 4,389(and I watch this over and over again) views in 2/11; in other words, over half of those who watched 1/11 didn't stick it out to watch 2/11 with the Petra scenes!
I thought I'd note that Josephus(the Jew who thought the jews were causing their own run-ins with the romans and chose to be a roman hence his name 'Flavius' Josephus; Flavius being an roman emperor title) mentions Petra.
@oker59 Yes he does. Although 'history' was never a well defined concept (as opposed to telling good stories) there is no better source for classical history than Josephus (for good or ill) - often there is simply no one else who treated events of their time (and events that were known to them in the past) as things worthy of recording (or at least things worthy of recording accurately).
He knew the Hyksos and yet still believed what the Torah says about the Exodus! And of course, he mentions much else; his book has been edited as revealed by Origen who points out things he got from Josephus that are no longer in the books of Josephus!
From now on and forth with , I suggest the period that people once called the caveman period and the times before that be termed Earth´s Battlestar Galactica period.....
God dammit I love James Burke. He's always just got such an interesting, cohesive conception of history, with plenty of hysterical little asides are puns.
This part of the program is particularly interesting as I'm getting into Anarcho-primitivism.
