    Lived in NYC for almost 20 years and walked through Central Park almost daily for much of that time, and didn’t know most of what was covered in this. One of my favorite AD videos ever, and certainly one of the most interesting and informative. Well done.

    Once you consider its formation, its history, where it sits, and the breathtaking beauty that just seems to grow each year and this place is one of the most important and significant parks in existence. It's like a chunk of Eden was picked up and placed in the middle of a fast-paced mega metropolis.

  • @avsystem3142
    @avsystem3142 22 дня назад +2

    Another great video. I was a little confused by the lack of geographic relationships, jumping at random (seemingly) between park locations. Why not just start at Columbus Circle and move uptown through the park in sequence?

    The large smooth granite stones in Central Park, are all that remains of a mountain of granite that was taller than Mount Everest, but was worn down by a constant rain that lasted more than two million years. Watch PBS series EONS: 'That Time It Rained for Two Million Years'
