Forgotten Cities of Campeche: BECAN and XPUHIL
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- Ancient Maya ruins that often get overlooked are those in Campeche, in the central part of the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico. These were once impressive and heavily populated cities, built in the Rio Bec style. David and Cassie visited two, right near modern Xpujil: the sites of Becan and Xpuhil, which you''re bound to find fascinating.
We hope you enjoy watching this #antiquitiestravelguide about #Becan and Xpuhil as much as we enjoyed making it.

I am LOVING these episodes! They are really scratching the wanderlust itch.
Would have liked more close ups of the stone work and carvings other than that great program
Thanks for the feedback. I will keep that in mind for future trips!
Unbelievable! I'm enjoying this reality based history every bit as much as the ancient alien/lost giant civilization history! 🤣🤣
I love your fascinating guide to world's that used to thrive with life as well as efforts to ronoince names and locations the way they were
I notice the rooms have entrances but no doors and the idea of tall buildings seems a good way to stay off the jungle ground gave a worry-less sleep at night. What an amazing place, I am really marveled by these structures.
Great work. I will definitely be looking through all your videos. 💯👍
Fantastic travelogue! Deserving of many more views especially when there is more pseudoarchaeology than truly informed videos on RUclips. You both have a friendly, relaxed yet enthusiastic and informative style. Thumbs up from me.
Great video. I am glad to have found your channel. I visit this area about 20 years ago. I see that much reconstruction has taken place since. Are you in country now? Thank you for posting this video. I wish for you nothing but good luck for you and yours.
I'm glad you've been enjoying the videos, Michael. We are back in the US now, but we had the most wonderful time.
"Youre allowed to climb most of the buildings" thats great information!
Great video. I was just there and the town looks way dirtier and run down than what little I could see in your video. There is also constant traffic and large trucks due to the train being built.
This is really great presented with all the contextual information. Its amazing how much we know having isnt it only 4 paper texts? Mostly learned from those historical record stellae? carvings. Really a ton more information than we used to have when i was a kid a dinosaurs were unlikely slow lizards.
8:50 "by putting my phone right up on the window, I managed to get this shot for you". I believe that is Cassie doing all the work!
Tell us how they moved all of those heavy blocks of stone.
Wauw what a quality content! Let’s make Gaia sponsor you and make a serie about your explorations!
They're only false stairs of you don't believe in yourself.
Thank you for taking us on this amazing journey!
I found you from your explanations of Balbak and comparing what Brian Forrester says about the place. He is quite imaginative. I appreciate your approach though and explanations/research.
Thanks!
Have you ever been to the great pyramid ? now that is freeking HUGE
What have you done to upset the youtube gods? High quality content with small number of views...
Ha I wish I knew!
@@WorldofAntiquity I will like a couple a videos, maybe it helps with the algo :P
@@timvw01 Thank you!
@@WorldofAntiquity - Maybe using Annunaki or Nephilim in the video tittle...tethering to historical reality doesn't pull the views.
@@Joe-King There's some truth in what you say.
Why do we only see temples and not homes at these sites?
We do see homes sometimes. But most homes were made of perishable materials.
What ancient cultures is Terence McKenna talking about when he references ancient female Goddess worship?
What did people use to make red paint back then? Ocre?
They used a vegetable dye called alchol.
👍
Never heard of them, were they spaceships or power plants? Srsly tho i never heard of a lot of these yucatan sites, so they are freshly built. Yes
You make an excellent point here, one ppl almost always miss; virtually ALL archeological sites around the world are Reconstructed, from Yucatan to Teotihuacan, the Moai of Easter Island, Stonehenge, the megaliths of Malta, you name it.
Rebuilding activities alone rep. a HUGE part of modern archeology today.
BUT, sometimes archeologists make mistakes & get it wrong, & unfortunately anomalous (or just plain sloppy) work can also feed into the "fringe-conspiracy" crowd.
I have no particular point to make here, except to say this sort of thing highlights just how FRAGILE most of these sites are; being made from stone is no guarantee of permanence, mores the pity, & when you give things a few generations or so, Nature laughs last...
👍🏻
The fake staircases look like the Mayans wanted to increase stability of the structure similar to modular block retaining walls.
The video never mentions what academic authority the woman travelling with you had? Is she a student of yours, professor?
Just a longtime friend.
You have a nice bag there Cassie. Don't be climbing up on that now... ok?
Definitely aliens😅
