Patagonia's 'miraculous' churches survived history's strongest earthquake - BBC REEL

In remote Patagonia, 152 spectacular wooden churches have survived for more than 300 years in one of the fiercest climates in the Southern Hemisphere. They even withstood the strongest earthquake in human history.

Wonderful video overall. The nature is beautiful and the architecture of the churces is amazing. Thanks to BBC, I learn about places that I've never known exist.

Just like they built the pagodas in China and Japan. No bolts or nails. Just the ability to articulate with the movement. Could easily withstand a 10.0 magnitude earthquake with no damage.

What’s the hidden message behind this video?

[@josephmessner5312]

That the indigenous people are resilient like the church built to resist earthquakes ….

In that case, why to fan the flames of the Black Legend?
