    Ahh.. Your BEST video ever.. No face shots, no commentary, no written comments, no music... pure immersion. BRAVO!! Like I was the discoverer.. (except for the arrows!!)
    I'll learn more about this wonderful city elsewhere!! They sure used windows!! And
    were wider at the bottom than the top!!

    Was there any roof over any of the spaces? I dont see any holes where wooden beams were placed near the tops of the walls, nor do I see scorch marks from hearths or latrine pits. In the distance is water and space for crops...

      That's a good and controversial question as well. Correct answer is that they found no evidence of roofing, thus everyone instantly assume it was made out of quickly decaying materials like wood and straws, a primitive roofing on such well built walls ? I doubt. All in all, no visible answer can be found. Same as answers of how those walls were built-lost. (By this I'm generally speaking about "The Pre" ancient buildings found in peru

    Look at the architecture, that’s fascinating! There’s so much to see! … we certainly know people were of the average thin by the narrow walkways in between. An aerial view would be cool to see’ as someone had mentioned..
    I’m in Colorado and I had no idea this was here….. Man Ive got to get my homework rolling!
    Love the video, thanks!

      This is not Colorado. Colorado in Spanish simply means the color RED.

      Ferrous soils, soils that have a high content of iron (ferro), are reddish in color. I guess when Spaniards discovered the Grand Canyon, they named the river that flows through it "Río Colorado", the red river, as that river on that stretch and the surrounding landscapes are reddish. When Angloamerican forces invaded that vast territory on their westward expansion when those lands had become Mexico's Northwest, they named the political entity they established around the Rocky mountains "State of Colorado", the source of the Colorado river being in the Rocky mountains of course. Cheers from a Mexican residing in Spain 🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽😊🍷🥂! I live in a viticultural region along the upper Ebro river which also has beautiful reddish landscapes: tierras coloradas. Adiós.

    I didn't watch quite thoroughly, but didn't notice any megalithic aspects. Likely there wasn't any? Either way, nice walk through the ruins, it's always interesting, and the silent version made it quite relaxing!

    Well that’s different looking for Peru. How old is the site? At 5:05 there are line etchings on the wall what’s that? There are a couple distinctive rune looking line combinations??? Why is it named as it is? It does look more North American than South concerning construction. Reminds me of the Hopi. - A
    Whoa what a huge flat area surrounded by structures. What in the world would that have been used for? It looks massive. How big is that area? - A

  • @toddmetzger
    @toddmetzger 3 года назад

    Interesting mud and brick construction. Looks like a great deal was rebuilt, but I've no idea on the history of the place. Only basing that on some of the bare areas where you can see the actual large rocks and they appear painted. It must have been a very colorful place at one time and not the reddish brown mud we see now. They seem to have copied the builder's style as best they could with the niches and twisty turning corridors. They certainly had the foresight to put in a big parking lot for the future visitors. 😘

      I wonder at the niches as well. Could be for small statues for worship, space for water jugs, food baskets, rolled up hides or matting to sleep on? Maybe just for architectural variety to break up a monotonous wall.

    • @CatsInHats-S.CrouchingTiger
      @CatsInHats-S.CrouchingTiger 3 года назад

      If I built a style like this, I would use the niches for some form of lighting, as that would make all the distances of the area lighted, the way we use ceiling lighting. By surrounding the area with lighting, they could tell where the walls were but the lighting would not disturb their visibility of the stars at night. The architecture is incredible!

      Even today in the 1950s and 1960s the USA tested over a thousand Nuclear bombs in the Marshal Islands then the Nevada desert,,,
      Along with England Australia France Russia etc etc.
      People are still chasing compensation for those tests.
      During the Vietnam War we left thousands of unexploded bombs in Cambodia and Laos which are still killing / maiming civilians today.
