    I love falling down this rabbit hole. Thanks for the video.
  • @beidlern
    Wow, great piece of work. Thoroughly enjoyed and will share.
  • @RonFilco.9358
    I appreciate how in depth these are. It's amazing how advanced Greece was so far back in history. To be able to visualize the deviations needed to keep the perspective straight on the Parthenon is genius in any era.
  • VERY interesting but the stoner guy in the wig made me smile!
  • @JustAThought155
    Interesting show, however, having commercial interruptions every two minutes makes it tough to enjoy especially if you are completing tasks as the great feats are being discussed.

    I'm no scholar, but the Colosseum was not supposed to be completely oval shaped at the top, as the people who created this video are trying to make us believe.
  • @chadsimmons6347
    The truth not explained by this good documentary? The millions of stones were needed to be carved very quickly in order to keep up with construction schedules. I believe they sent out people to find (iron-meteorite) then they crafted the space rock into cutting tools & the humid wet climate slowly turned the tools into rust, thats why none are found. They built the monuments to pay tribute to the stars, because the falling stars made that possible

    How could Greece be the pioneers of all the sciences when the pyramids were built so precisely they arranged in perfect alignment with the stars and you can’t even slip a razor blade between the blocks that way 10 tons each. Also, how could they be the pioneers of sociology and psychology when even their great scholars said they went to places in West Africa to learn that stuff?

    I live in Arizona, I stumbled on some history written by the conquistadors and chroniclers concerning the Aztecs , the ppl before them, and the names of their cities, it goes like this, when asked where they came from, the Aztecs said they was a nation of many nations in ancient Mexico, but the ppl before them came from a place across the big sea called atlan , from a place called the same. But then they explain why many ancient Aztec cities had the greek word ‘’ atlan ‘’ like mazatlan, aztalan, technocticlan, etc…. Yeup, I was shocked too. I can’t admonish you enough to read a Book of Mormon. Things like that are mentioned and more too about Christ which is greek also for Savior. Best wishes.

    It's one thing to have an amazing understanding of astronomy, but it takes sensible human beings to create constructive commonsense practicalities. You can survive quite well without astronomy, but without common sense you are likely to suffer the same fate as the Mayans.
  • @nunusnews361
    Just keep in mind, every single time they said romans/greeks built something first, remember that Egypt actually did it long before they did.... Why they feel the need to lie is beyond my understanding

    Not a fan of a lot of modern ego "restoration" blights
