Episode 3! These videos came at a quite a little cost to myself (& my camera guy, Eli, who I dragged thru the jungle for this series).
It would mean so much to us if you just hit “Like” & “Subscribe” (if you haven’t already).
More to come!!
Great episode! Exposition, character and plot all on point 🤔
Looking forward to Forbidden Frontier
Dude, loving the in the wild style content. You're doing a great job. No one's doing it like you. Keep it up.
Thank you very much. We wanted to film something with that “wild” feeling that hasn’t quite been done before.
We have about 12 episodes to go!
You are the best channel covering ancient civilizations of south America man...The stone work of this place is unbelievable
My new favorite channel. Love his views and his speech speed is perfect. No bs! More in depth than a lot of channels. No reruns here🎉
Love this style
Love the cinematic feel of this, great background music.
Really enjoying your work. I’m retiring from the fire dept here in about a year and I’m hoping to come with you on some of your travels. I’m fluent in Spanish and I’m a licensed paramedic in the state of California. I have access to equipment we may need if one of the crew members gets injured. But mostly, I’m completely infatuated with my Mexican ancestry and would love to experience the meso American buildings and lifestyles.
Loving it ! You take me to places I never seen before in the Maya World. Love the Off the beaten track approach. Keep it up.
Brother, this content is killer! I'm loving it so keep up the great work. You're doing a great service!....you also have REALLY motivated me to dive deeper into my culture and roots and go see the pyramids in Mexico at least once in my life
Dang! Looks sweaty HOT!! Thank you and your camera guy! love the first hand look you bring!!
Hahaha yes, Eli killed it. I can’t wait to have him in my podcast & live stream to share what it was like down there for his first time!
Bringing home the Becan
🥓
Keep it up Luke.
Beautiful stone work at this site, great footage
My favorite site on our trip!!
Dude I love what your doing this is seriously important and I hope you keep bringing us these amazing stories and information
you deserve way more views
wow.Luke.....amazing video, i felt like, watching an Indiana"s movie's....the first time i had the sensation to be exploring with you this unique place....pls go on!!
Woohoo! Love it!
Please, zoom out a bit sometimes! xD
Great videos, and nice to see it more free-stylish with impressions. Can't wait for more.
But, Elijah, please zoom out more from time to time so we can see where we are or what we are looking at, or what Luke is pointing at! :D Those closeups are neat, but sometimes it was a bit too close.
Anyway, neat videos.
Love it Luke, great job man 👏🏻
Luke better be on Rogan this year.
Here after watching Forbidden Frontier on Nerdrotic. Fantastic content mate keep it up!
Hell yeah. Can’t wait for more. I think I watched this one a few weeks ago when it was accidentally uploaded early
Thank you for the tour! It would be amazing to see it person!
⭐️
I am LOVING what you guys are doing! I appreciate seeing things I've never seen and hearing theories that do or do not follow scholarly norms. Keep up the amazing work! Just next time, please take a better camera! They're easily rentable!
Great content Luke. I liked the filming style, something unique. I have been checking everyday for new videos of your last trip. Looking forward to future episodes.
Great video! Nobody is doing this! Keep going man
Sweaty ancient history at its best. Had a long chat with a friend today about your Mayan journey, came via the snake boys, best wishes from the ancient and mysterious land of the English.
Naughty Dog is really stepping up their graphics here. Uncharted 6 is looking like it’s going to be amazing!
I kept waiting for the snakes!
… me too
Fantastic work as always. Informative and just giving me more ideas.
Great video as always dude!! Love the intro, music, and the explanation of everything. Thanks for taking us on a tour!
This video is cool af
Luke😂😂😂 you are killing me man…this is AMAZING! 🤙🏼🔥
Just like to add a couple of facts, The Maya word for 'canyon' or 'moat' is Becán, and indeed a 2km moat snakes its way around this must-visit Maya site. Seven causeways provide access across the moat to the 12-hectare site, within which are the remains of three separate architectural complexes. It may be the only Maya town that had a moat surrounding it. P.S. Beds? we used hammocks...
Very cool. Thanks for showing us.
About 30 years ago I got to climb a pyramid in Belize, and we walked around the jungle for a couple hours looking at different pyramids and other structures. The view over the jungle from the top of the pyramid was amazing, it's flat there and I could see green for miles. It was beautiful. And super impressive. That's a lot of effort in the tropical climate. I remember faces carved in the stone, and we saw a very old stone Mayan calendar.
On the subject of roots tearing up the buildings, there are a couple species of ficus known as strangler figs that are native there. Other species are native to Asia. They can start up high in another tree, sending roots to the ground and growing up from there, eventually killing the host tree. They can grow from the ground, and if they start in a crack in a building those roots are very hard it. Other riits are guilty too but ficus roots are probably the worst. Rubber trees are in the same family, so are edible fig trees and banyan trees. Central and South America have invasive ficus that have the same potential to destroy things. In india the roots are stretched across rivers and woven to make natural bridges.
The art in the architecture this place is amazing, mysterious and comfortable at the same time ! It's like I wouldn't mind , to say the least , living there in its full older form !
Greatly presented and greatly appreciated !
Keep it up men 💪🗿
Keep up the great work with the videos on this channel. Looking forward to more fascinating explorations!
This is really well produced. Keep up the good work Luke.
This is amazing work, beautiful. Thank you.
Years back, I read Biography of Cortés. How he destroyed aztek empire with handful of men driven by greed for gold. Murdering and slaving natives. Natives were powerless to defend their city. Aztek priest complained how their magic didn't work against the new God that Spanish had brought. Using their own children as sacrifice. As the king tried to escape Cortés soldiers were shocked to Aztek priest and servants carrying babies that were barbecued. This made Spanish more upset. Saddest part of the conquest Spaniards burnt close to all Aztek books. Claiming them to be pagan magic writings. Maybe there's a hidden tunnels that still hides the books.
Yes Indiana Caverns! Really enjoying all your content!
Forbidden Frontier sent me here (as if I needed any encouragement).
Be careful out there.There's a tick-like jungle mite that burrows into your skin.100%Deet is your best friend and even then,watch for a "skin rash".
These are rebuilt, & overhauled, so many times, yet understanding the differnt layers is quite challenging to us. There must be literally 1000's of rooms still hidden within this Mountain of Stone. GPR or actually digging underneath the lowest levels here, are needed. Otherwise, speculation will continue.
that ritual spot sure looked like it was filled in and mortared.
@@Js-rq9uj Noticed that to, also that main arch is of a different stone, & moter?🧐
Have a lot of respect and admiration for the stone masons
I built a farmers wall around my mothers property years ago, lot of boulders too big to lift & it was 3 1/2 feet thick
Keep it up dude you're finding your own style. Excellent content!
So...is the any excavations on the horizon? Id love to see some of these temples unearthed
just missing the hat revolver and the whip.
That looks like a fantastic site. How long did you have there? Is there any written or oral history of sites like these?
Thank you very much. We were around Becan for two days. And yes, there is not a whole lot written about it as a whole.
But search “Becan Archaeological Site in Campeche, Mexico” & you’ll find a ton of sources.
No oral history (at-least from ancient times) as it was all burned during conquest… which sucks
Interesting to see things that normally would rarely feature. Glad you're alive after the jungle expedition 😅. With the filming, it would be good to sometimes see the architecture focused for a bit longer, or a still for a few seconds on screen to take it all in.
Saw you on Forbidden Frontier the other day. These videos are fun. I like all the different camera angles - it's like an exploration narrative (even though technically I know there's a bunch of cuts and reshoots where you probably climb the same darn rock 5 times on some occasions!).
How come there are horizontal lines shearing the footage when it pans around? Low FPS? Sharp Motion-blur, or lack thereof? I'm not a camera guy at all, but it's grating to see it.
It was an exporting error
How did you discern how recent the bones were? Because of the light glare on them its hard to see from our end, but did they appear fresh to some degree in person? Its interesting to think about that continuing today. Thanks luke for really being the only person holding the explorers torch right now. Keep the flame lit till it grows👏🏻
the ritual room wall looks modern does it not? with the massive crack on the right?
🍺
Great work, but might I suggest that in future you get your camera operator to shoot b-roll of what you're describing so we can cut to what you're looking at while you're describing it? Its very difficult getting a sense of scale, detail and perspective when the camera is on you all the time.
Not a criticism as such, just want to see what you're describing.
No poisoned darts to dodge?
Shelled Becan or whole Becan?
Luke I sent two research exploration file on Facebook Message Chats. I would love to be a member of your research team.
Keep up the good work! Would be nice if the camera guy focused on what you are trying to show rather than your nose. :)
Modern day Indiana Jones. Mf indy right here😁
Your content is truly excellent, showcasing an impressive depth of knowledge! However it's worth noting that the video quality appears to be a bit blurry and shaky. I would like to see more details of these beautifull buildings.
use 60 fps with a gimbal. 👍🏻
So you believe those are sitting on much older structures. Where is the info on that stuff. You seem so sure your timelines are correct ???
Good video. But the camera was on you 80% of the time. We didn't really get to see anything other than what was behind you.
I wish you filmed it and just talked over the video instead of the camera being glued to you.
What's wrong with you people, do you see the quality of these videos? The least you could do is leave a like.
Dude...whatever you do...don't remove any statues from a stand and try to replace it with a bag of sand.😶
Nice use of vomit-cam. Perhaps get a helper that can actually hold a camera steady for longer than a micro-second?
