      @@brizzle3903 I have a feeling that that JRG is a brazilian dude. They are always harrasing the portuguese all over yt comment section. They are resentful, vengeful and ignorant about the history of their own country and blame us for the failings of their ruling class, a bunch of corrupt politicians that re-wrote their history to put eternal blame on Portugal for their underachievements. While the common rabble is busy blaming Portugal, they won't notice they are being robbed by their corrupt politicians and elites.
      I'm happy that you enjoyed Portugal and our people treated you with warmth.
      You are welcome to return and share what we have, despite not being much in material terms, but we compensate with kindness, nice weather, gourgeous beaches and an epic history.
      And opposite to Brazil, the chances of being robbed at any corner are miniscule, and be taken hostage for ransom inexistent.

    I'm so happy that I got to go there in the early 2000s. We got a 2-h guided tour explaining all the symbolism, there were maybe 50 people in all the garden, nobody was walking up the well in the wrong direction, there were no lights in the tunnels, no crowds waiting to cross the lake, and the stepping stones were almost underwater. The whole effect was superb, and one could easily forget being a tourist and pretend at being an initiate.

    • @miguelcoelho3877
      @miguelcoelho3877 4 года назад +175

      Here are a few points to complement what you wrote:
      First of all, the Knights Templar were established in Portugal in 1120, thus shortly after they became a "thing". They were great allies to Dom Afonso Henriques, the first king of Portugal (crowned in 1128) because, amongst other reasons, of the family ties with his father, Count Henry, of the Royal House of Burgundy, and were instrumental in the formation of the Kingdom of Portugal, where they were awarded substantial areas in the newly-formed kingdom.
      Secondly, by the time the first voyages of discoveries had started, in the early-1400s, the Order of the Temple had already been absorbed into the newly-formed "Ordem de Cristo" or Order of Christ, created by King Dinis of Portugal, a century earlier. The greatest instigator of those first voyages, Prince Henry the Navigator, was at the time the Grand-Master of that Order.
      Thus, as you can see, the Templars had been in Portugal long before the Age of Discovery had even started, and they were not a "foreign" religious and military Order at that stage.

      @@ebanydwayne4941" ... They couldn't keep it together [...]"
      What are you going on about?! The Portuguese had colonies in India (Goa, Daman, and Diu) until 1961; in Africa (Angola, Mozambique -- two huge areas of sub-Saharan Africa -- Guiné-Bissau, S.Tomé & Príncipe, and Cabo Verde) until 1975; in Indonesia (East-Timor) also until 1975; in China (Macau) until 1999... and Brasil -- a huge territory in South America -- until 1822, the year that bloody traitor, D. Pedro IV, (D. Pedro I of Brasil) sold us out by declaring Brasil independent, thus forfeiting all that Portugal had invested in that huge colony, a country that so many Brazilians like to refer to as an "Empire", when Brazil has never had an Empire but rather was part of the Portuguese Empire for more than 300 years, instead! Absolutely outrageous!!
      If you were right about what you wrote, ie, that "They couldn't keep it together [...]" it would have been about the fact that Portugal, simply because of demographics, did not have enough manpower to govern/control such a vast Empire -- a fact that its enemies took full advantage of!
      Plus, calamities such as 60 years of Spanish rule, which created the opportunities -- and the excuses -- for our enemies to attack our homeland and colonies, including Brazil; the French invasion, which was hugely costly to Portugal, in more ways than one, and caused the King, the Royal Family, and the whole Court to move to Brazil (or "to flee", as some of your compatriots shamefully like to say); the civil war, which pitched D. Pedro IV against his brother, D. Miguel -- and the whole country with them; the 1755 earthquake that devastated Lisbon and was extremely costly for the country (and look at the quality of the buildings that emerged after the earthquake if you were ever to visit Lisbon!); but above all, the 1910 republican coup d'état that triggered the decline of Portugal as a colonial power and as a nation, which the country is only recently and gradually emerging from!
      PS -- Concerning your previous comment " [...] with a little bit of portuguese influence":
      A little bit of Portuguese influence, you say?! You have over 200 million Portuguese speakers in Brasil, of which a vast number bear Portuguese names and surnames -- many of them direct descendants from the first colonists; you have a country that benefited enormously from Portuguese know-how which was responsible, at least partially, for Brazil's XIX century naval might, one of the world's greatest, at the time, until your very own late-1800s republican coup d'état; your economy benefited enormously, from the first century of independence onwards, from the countless coffee plants and sugarcane farms which the Portuguese introduced in Brazil; your beef, and dairy farms, many of them started by Portuguese families... and you call that "a little bit of portuguese influence"?!! How extraordinary!

    2000% recommended! I uploaded my recordings at Quinta Da Regaleira to my own channel.
    We totally forgot the time of the day, and entered the dark tunnels to explore. By the time we were out from this dark labyrinth again, the park was closed. but we enjoyed the last hour with no tourists. btw, always carry a cellphone inside the dark labyrinth, because you will never be able to get out, without any flashlights..

    I don’t wanna be one of those comments, but holy crap, that whole mansion was for masonic meetings (for real) and it was magical. I remember years ago when I went to visit it, I was down that tower/well and I reached my hand to one of these little holes you can see in the wall with water. I did it twice. The first one it was empty, and seconds later, it was full all of sudden. I also cannot forget exploring the gardens and entering in a bifurcation on one of the hills; sitting on a bench inside, everything dark, you could only hear the soft drops coming out the lion-shaped wall fountain. Wow.

    When J. Paul Getty opened his Museum of Antiquities in Malibu, Ca. in the seventies admission was no charge, BUT you had to mail in for tickets. That kept the feeling of being in a true Roman Villa and you could enjoy each room. He didn't want it to be an LA Museum day care centre for children dropped off, or crowds of people thinking they were at Disneyland. What would work at this site is if tours could be conducted by people versed in the cymablism, history, and nuances of the site. The place is incredible, though it DOES have that "Disneyland" feel to it!!!

    I had a recurring dream for years where I entered a random stairwell that went down into insanity. The hallways were like that of an underground psyche ward, with mad scientist, military, and government personnel types moving between the rooms which had double sided glass showing the experiments and "patients" from the hallways. There were heinous monstrosities, human torture/sacrifice, freakshows, demons etc... As I worked my way farther down into the installation, I started to realize that I was being chased by someone or something. I kept taking any door that was open, which all contained stairways reaching downwards. I eventually made it to a deep endless pit with rough cut stairs leading down, which looked just like this. The deeper I got, the older and more decrepit the stone and stairs. Eventually I ended up at least a mile under the surface, frantically scrambling down the Neverending stairwell into the depths of the darkest dungeon yiu could imagine. I would eventually come across a doorway out to the ground level, where a gorgeous mountaintop, peaceful meadow, envigorating waterfall, relaxing beach, or enchanting forest scene sprawled all around me. I returned to the recurring dreamscape for years before finally deciding to translate the dream on my own. I have never had it since, but wow this gives me the creeps at how close the feel is to that dream. I realized that I was running from myself, or my shadow self, to be specific. The dream was about depression, self sabatouge, and the potential depths of madness. Always at the bottom, was a light shining through a doorway leading me back up to peace and serenity. That light was Mother Nature and her healing power. I haven't thought of that dream for years. Thanks for reading.
