by looking at ice through a microscope
0:02
scientists can discover ancient history
0:04
this is exactly what happened when a
0:07
group studied samples taken from the ice
0:09
of Mount Kilimanjaro but they were not
0:12
prepared to see the results deep in the
0:14
Mountain's ice millions of years old
0:16
they found evidence supporting something
0:18
straight out of the Bible's Book of
0:20
Genesis and what they found surprised
0:22
scientists around the world with modern
0:24
technology scientists are able to drill
0:27
into the ice cores of glaciers and ice
0:29
sheets extracting samples that are up to
0:32
800 000 years old called ice core
0:35
sampling it takes out samples from
0:37
permafrost which contains records up to
0:39
millions of years old this is how a
0:42
group of scientists was able to find
0:43
remains of what they believed to be
0:45
evidence of something dating back to
0:46
Biblical times over time ice forms
0:49
layers freezing each one with its own
0:52
special history climate fossil records
0:54
and even water samples that might have
0:57
Frozen in a bubble all of these are
0:59
preserved very well thanks to the cold
1:01
it's all there waiting for scientists to
1:03
find it extract it and study it
1:06
thoroughly they were excited to see what
1:08
Secrets the core sample held but no one
1:11
expected to find out what they found in
1:13
the ice on Mount Kilimanjaro through
1:15
this medium scientists believe that I
1:18
scores May hold the key to a long lost
1:20
story all messages from Anne's past
1:22
letting us know what was happening back
1:24
then even the story that people thought
1:27
was based on fiction but only with the
1:29
drilling of Mount Kilimanjaro had
1:31
scientists show them at some stories
1:33
specifically some aspects of the Book of
1:36
Genesis could have really happened and
1:38
can be proven
1:39
things are about to get biblical located
1:42
in the Kilimanjaro National Park in
1:44
Tanzania
1:45
The Towering Mount Kilimanjaro Rises to
1:48
a whopping 19
1:50
341 feet in height the tallest
1:53
freestanding mountain in the world it is
1:56
however becoming more Barren as time
1:58
goes by this dormant volcano has
2:01
recently been the subject of numerous
2:02
scientific studies as its glaciers and
2:05
ice caps are expected to Disappear
2:07
Completely between 2030 and 2050 The
2:11
first explorers to climb the mountain
2:13
will soon be up although Mount
2:15
Kilimanjaro is not part of a mountain
2:16
range itself it consists of Three Peaks
2:19
the kibo stands at 16
2:22
893 feet above sea level and the mawenzi
2:26
Rises to 16 800 and 93 feet above sea
2:30
level
2:31
it is here where most climbers start to
2:33
descend
2:34
for the truly adventurous however this
2:37
is only Midway the third Peak Shira has
2:40
a huge peak of 4 000 meters altogether
2:43
it is an impressive mountain with a lot
2:46
of history buried below the surface for
2:48
Millennia the Peaks were active
2:50
volcanoes in 2000 a team of geologists
2:54
led by Lonnie Thompson of Ohio State
2:56
University traveled to Mount Kilimanjaro
2:59
in search of answers about why the ice
3:01
was melting at such a rapid rate
3:03
they were able to drill six cores in
3:06
their hopes of finding out why but just
3:08
as they were about to leave one member
3:10
was forced to stay behind for a month
3:12
while the rest of the team continued on
3:14
the research trip Harry's ended up
3:16
staying on the mountain for two months
3:19
but not before extracting samples from
3:21
each core that could provide insight
3:23
into what was happening with the ice
3:25
Thompson and his team were not the first
3:27
to attempt to drill into Kilimanjaro in
3:30
fact there have been over 60 attempts to
3:32
drill into this beautiful mountain since
3:34
1908 however Thompson's mission was not
3:38
easy
3:39
not only did he have to obtain
3:41
permission from a number of Tanzanian
3:43
agencies to drill on the mountain but
3:45
once permission was given the group of
3:48
scientists had to Lug all their
3:50
equipment up to 4 000 plus meter Summit
3:53
this is not an easy task and it took 67
3:56
Porters and helpers to get everything up
3:58
the mountain
3:59
it's easy to think that drilling six
4:01
cores is a quick and easy task after all
4:04
it's just a matter of drilling down into
4:06
the Earth and extracting some rock but
4:09
it's not as simple as it seems each core
4:11
has to be drilled to the perfect length
4:14
samples have to be from 30 feet to
4:16
nearly 170 feet long and then extracted
4:20
in cylindrical form and then there's the
4:23
time it takes for all six samples to be
4:25
collected and analyzed before they can
4:28
be published the team spent over two
4:30
years studying their findings before
4:32
they were ready to publish their article
4:34
his article Kilimanjaro ice core records
4:38
evidence of Holocene climate change in
4:40
tropical Africa discussed how climate
4:42
change was negatively affecting the ice
4:44
of Mount Kilimanjaro
4:46
it was supposed to be research to show
4:48
the rapid effects of climate change but
4:51
as a team of geologists study their
4:53
samples they found something entirely
4:55
different something they hadn't expected
4:57
to find something that went hand in hand
5:00
with the Book of Genesis how was this
5:02
possible according to their findings the
5:05
scientists stated their cores to between
5:07
1951 and
5:10
195.2 a time when nuclear bomb tests
5:13
were being conducted the tests led to
5:16
the formation of a radioactive isotope
5:18
called chlorine 36. the good news for
5:21
scientists is that this isotope allowed
5:24
them to trace the entire history of eye
5:26
cylinders
5:27
with this amazing method they would be
5:29
able to get results but were they ready
5:31
to learn the truth that has been hidden
5:33
for so long it was a long time ago but
5:36
it's easy to see how the drought would
5:37
get anyone down in eight thousand three
5:40
hundred before Christ Thompson
5:42
discovered evidence suggesting that a
5:44
drought in Africa lasted for 500 years
5:47
that's right minus 500 years of not
5:50
having any water in fact he even said
5:53
the Lakes were drying up but don't worry
5:55
this isn't going to happen again anytime
5:58
soon according to an Ohio State
6:00
University news release Thompson told
6:03
those present at his discovery we
6:05
believe this represents a time when the
6:07
lakes of Africa were drying up
6:09
in order to better understand how
6:11
droughts have affected the Southwest
6:14
paleoclimatologist David Stowe used tree
6:17
rings to track climate changes over time
6:19
Stahl found evidence of droughts that
6:21
occurred eight thousand three hundred
6:23
years ago 5200 years ago and most
6:26
recently four thousand years ago however
6:29
it wasn't the first or third drought
6:31
that peaked the interest of Thompson and
6:33
his team it was the third drought which
6:36
occurred four thousand years ago and
6:38
lasted 300 years the first two droughts
6:41
were much shorter in duration than this
6:43
third one in the Middle East a drought
6:45
that occurred in the year 2000 before
6:47
the common has been linked to the story
6:49
of Joseph in the Book of Genesis Jewish
6:52
Torah and Islamic Quran
6:55
this story is told in chapters 37 to 50
6:58
of Genesis where it is related to how
7:00
Joseph was born to Jacob and Rachel
7:03
the researchers used computer models to
7:05
determine that a volcanic eruption at
7:07
Dura now Santorini Greece would have
7:10
been capable of producing enough sulfur
7:12
dioxide gas to cause such Devastation
7:14
across such a large region
7:16
according to the story Jose was the
7:19
favorite of his parents he was even
7:21
given a cloak of Many Colors as a token
7:24
of his father's affection
7:25
the gift along with Josie's ability to
7:28
interpret dreams enraged his brothers to
7:31
the point that they conspired to murder
7:33
his brother
7:34
fortunately they didn't instead they
7:37
sold him into slavery and smeared goats
7:39
blood on his coat telling people that he
7:41
was dead it never ceases to amaze us how
7:44
comical but also how true these stories
7:47
tend to be
7:48
Joseph's life was not easy as a young
7:51
man he was sold into slavery by his
7:52
brothers who were jealous of him because
7:54
their father loved him more than them
7:56
this led him to Egypt where he became a
7:59
slave to a rich man named bonafar as if
8:02
that wasn't bad enough all was going
8:04
from bad to worse for Joseph after some
8:07
alleged claims by Potiphar's wife
8:09
Joseph was put in jail where he remained
8:12
until he was called by pharaoh who had
8:14
heard about his gift for interpreting
8:16
dreams while in prison gossip with his
8:19
dream interpretation skills to use
8:21
helping his fellow prisoners understand
8:23
their dreams the first person was the
8:25
headbaker of the Egyptian pharaoh
8:27
unfortunately Joseph saw his dream as a
8:30
warning that the baker would be executed
8:33
the second person the rulers kibera then
8:35
had a dream in which Joseph said that he
8:38
would be restored to his old position
8:39
the relationship between history and
8:42
modern discoveries is yet to come in the
8:45
Book of Genesis of the Bible it is said
8:47
that two Prophecies of Joseph ended up
8:49
coming true
8:50
stories of his abilities spread and
8:53
eventually reach pharaoh who was in need
8:55
of someone like Joseph
8:56
as it says in Genesis Joseph's
8:59
incredible abilities caught the eye of
9:01
pharaoh and he soon needed someone like
9:03
Joseph
9:04
it so happened that the Egyptian ruler
9:07
had been having his own strange dreams
9:09
and needed someone who could interpret
9:11
them for him
9:12
the Pharaoh had a strange dream that
9:14
scared him and he wanted someone to
9:16
interpret it for him it is interesting
9:18
to think how superstitious the rulers
9:20
could be it was going to be an event
9:22
that would save Joseph's life in his
9:25
dream
9:26
Pharaoh saw seven emaciated cattle
9:29
eating seven well-fed cows asking Joseph
9:32
for his interpretation the slave said
9:34
that it meant that Egypt would have
9:36
seven good years followed by seven years
9:38
of drama and famine impressed by this
9:41
interpretation Pharaoh made Joseph a
9:43
visitor Chief advisor and official based
9:46
on the dream Joseph set out to store as
9:48
much grain as possible during the seven
9:50
good years so that the Egyptian people
9:53
could get through the seven difficult
9:54
years ahead in the end the stores saved
9:57
the town allowing Egypt to flourish the
10:00
relationship between the story and the
10:02
findings it as follows but it is not the
10:05
only thing that scientists found then
10:07
the Bible states that there was a
10:09
massive drought that lasted for three
10:11
years seven months and 11 days this
10:14
drowned is said to have occurred around
10:16
four thousand years ago which coincides
10:18
with the findings of Thompson and his
10:20
team
10:21
the researchers discovered that there
10:23
was a drought that lasted for 300 years
10:25
between three thousand six hundred and
10:28
three thousand seven hundred years ago
10:30
they'd also found evidence of famine
10:32
during this time period so how does this
10:35
connect to the biblical story evidence
10:37
that the drought occurred all those
10:39
years ago wasn't the only thing Thompson
10:41
and his team uncovered in their high
10:43
score findings in one of the cores
10:45
Thompson found a thin layer of dust the
10:48
dust was a great find that supported his
10:50
claims Thompson's team found that the
10:53
layer of dust coincided exactly with
10:55
when Mae believed nose flood occurred
10:58
which supports their belief that there
11:00
was a strong connection between these
11:01
two events
11:03
Joseph's story is one of the most
11:04
beloved in the Bible but it's also one
11:07
of the strangest and when you look into
11:09
it you'll find that there are a few
11:11
things missing from his story that don't
11:13
quite add up like how for example he
11:15
could have predicted seven good years of
11:17
prosperity and seven bad years of famine
11:20
well it turns out that Joseph's Prophecy
11:22
of Seven good years and seven bad years
11:25
wasn't just a lucky guess it was
11:27
historically accurate we know this
11:30
because scientists have found dust from
11:31
the Sahara Desert eye scores taken from
11:33
Greenland which suggests that at least
11:36
some parts of Joseph's story were real
11:38
of course there are parts of the story
11:41
that are probably embellished No One
11:43
Believes that Joseph was actually sold
11:45
into slavery by his brothers but they
11:47
might have been jealous because he was
11:49
their father Jacob's favorite son and
11:51
Jacob did have 12 sons
11:54
still Anyone who reads this story can't
11:57
help but feel inspired by Joseph's
11:59
persistence in spite of all his trials
12:01
and if nothing else it reminds us to be
12:03
grateful for what we have and now there
12:06
is evidence that says his story might
12:08
have more truth Than Fiction although
12:10
some people do not see the Book of
12:12
Genesis as a historical fact much can be
12:15
said about current scientific
12:16
discoveries and their relationship to
12:19
the ins and outs of Old Testament
12:20
history it's hard to argue that the
12:23
findings by Thompson and his team are
12:25
somehow related to the story of the
12:27
great drought that occurred four
12:28
thousand years ago but the core samples
12:31
don't lie there's now more evidence than
12:33
ever that the Bible might be speaking
12:35
true
