Moose were never used or domesticated that way. It's not impossible they could have been, but being such northerly animals, human populations tended to be smaller near moose populations

So we know we started doing this (and so many other things) way longer than 5000 years ago… these statements need to start reading more correctly as AT LEAST 5000 years ago.

Like the claim I read similarly 3-4 years ago that the first domesticated wolf/dog was like 5000 years ago. Some little trib/family totally had wolf friends like 10,000+ years ago… just no way to prove it.

Boy, just can't get an intact nose on one of those

I can confirm I discovered horseback riding at roughly the same time in my last civ game

interesting, because if you look at the horses pulling chariots in paintings from the battle of Kadesh about 3500 years ago, they are clearly much smaller than modern horses; would be like riding a pony

The governor of egypt had a unique title, not one of the other two used elsewhere in the empire

Anyone else see an uncanny resemblance to Micheal Jackson??

Neat fact: Egypt was the personal property of the Roman emperor. Not part of Rome, but his personal property.

Man, I wish I was smart enough to know what that means because it sounds cool

Does anyone know of any cohesive history related yt channels I can binge watch to learn about different cultures or historical events?

When they first saw them, the Aztecs are on record calling horses giant deer and the Incans thought they were a type of llama

I'm sure prehistoric teenagers were riding horses way longer than we will ever know

Maybe it was the horses.

You haven't considered moose.

Look what Jesus did! Look what Jesus did! Look what Jesus did!

I don't know what that is.

Here's an awesome lecture by Bob Brier on the Khufu ship

I'm not a historian or anything, but growing up a boy, I can guarantee you that men started riding horses 1 day after ever seeing one

I am still waiting for the Star Gate to be uncovered.

I don't see any water weathering on that sphinx enclosure. That disproves all the sphinx is super old theories!

Science!

Camels I can tolerate, but donkeys are horse-adjacent. If we're gonna eliminate horses, it's only right that we say goodbye to donkeys too.
