I'm surprise "chichen itza", "The pyramids" of Egypt and "The Great Wall" of China weren't on the list. I'm even more surprise that "Montezuma castle" even made it on the list, That thing isn't even impressive.
It's surprising how Pompeii didn't make it in this list, you really feel that you've traveled in time, and you get to understand Roman culture a lot better
I hope there will be another list with ruins like Pyramids of Giza, Parthenon, The Great Wall of China, Masada, Karnak, Hagia Sophia, Jetavanaramaya or the Pantheon. Not something like this "Montezuma Castle", which was build around 1200 century AD. The Cheops Pyramid was build in third millenium BC, it is not even a debate. But I guess Americans would be pissed if there was no ruin from their country on this list...
not sure how they've not, its the oldest and biggest temple to date around 90,000 square feet which is about 11-12 football fields if my memory serves me been a while since i studied it at uni
What kind of weed are you smoking guys in watchmojo??? You were talking about the Greek civilization and you don't even mention the Parthenon nor the Delphi nor Mycene not even Ancient Olympia! And you put the Colloseum instead of these?? Shame on you!
Vape Nation Pepe Dude I call idiots the ones who made the video for not mentioning Greek monuments. Of course I know about ancient Greece and how sophisticated they were. I'm from Greece btw
My dad took me to visit Angkor Wat when I first visit Cambodia in May 7th-28th, 2014. I took pictures of Angkor Wat with my cell phone and a camera. It was huge. So huge! My dad was born in that country. He speaks Khmer. Before he moved here in U.S.A. after Cambodian people escapes from Khmer Rouge. I'm lucky girl person to born in America. I'm the youngest in my family. I have 1 older brother and 2 older sisters. I'm Cambodian and Thai. I visited Cambodia in 2014 of May. I wasn't even born there in Cambodia. I never had been to Thailand before but we could try to visit there some day. My mom was born in Thailand, she's Thai. She knows how to speak both Thai and Khmer language. She moved here in U.S.A. when she was like 16 or 17 years old. I don't know how old she was when my mom moved to America after living Thailand. My dad and mom first met together in America in 1979. They Got Married. They got 4 kids (1 boy and 3 girls). They got divorced when I was 2 or 3 years old. Some day my dad would take my nephew and his girlfriend to see and visit Angkor Wat temple. We know my nephew hadn't been to Cambodia yet but he wants to. My older sister been visiting there Cambodia in around December 2011. She visited Angkor Wat.
Wow, not even an honorable mention for Masada? As an actual archaeologist I'm highly disappointed in you, WatchMojo. A 2200 year old Hasmonean fortress and palace built on top of a mountain in the middle of the desert with a brilliant water delivery system (And even indoor plumbing for Herod's bathhouse) all while being right next door to the lowest surface point on planet Earth isn't impressive enough for you? It even comes complete with the largest example of a Roman siege ramp yet discovered. Not a single Egyptian site either. I know a lot of Egypt's sites are pretty cliche for these lists by now but Stonehenge even more so (I'm not saying Stonehenge isn't impressive, it's just on every list like this ever. Why not give some love to Luxor or The Valley of The Kings or Karnak?).
TheHuman Comalies Uhhh, Masada is NOT Nabatean. it's Hasmonean and Herodian as in Judean. I know this because I literally just finished excavating there in February (The first excavation at the site in 15 years, we were talked about in a lot of news sites). Preparation for the excavation involved taking a class on its entire history, Herod's relationship with Rome and how the site was built and managed. Both the excavation and the class were led and taught by the world's foremost expert on Masada, Dr. Guy Stiebel. Protip, Google things before you make claims like that, especially to someone who has actually studied site.
Dylan Perry Go away, you're not funny, you're being obnoxious. The fact is we don't know very much about Puma Punku, nor when it was built or why. For all we know it was built after the 6th century CE which disqualifies it from this list.
TheHuman Comalies What the fuck? Are you on drugs? How is anything I said 'religuously motivated' or 'Zionist'? I suppose Flavius Josephus, Emperor Vespasian and Titus were all part of the international Jewish conspiracy, were they? Find me a single peer reviewed, vetted citation from a reputable source to support your absurd 'Masada was Nabatean' claims. I'll wait. :)
In the meantime, here's a few of MY citations because I know your feeble little brain will drive you to ask for them :) whc.unesco.org/en/list/1040 "It was built as a palace complex, in the classic style of the early Roman Empire, by Herod the Great, King of Judaea, (reigned 37 - 4 B.C.)." "This is a site that remained untouched for more than thirteen centuries. The buildings and other evidence of human settlement gradually collapsed and were covered over until they were revealed in the 1960s. There have been no additions or reconstruction, beyond an acceptable level of anastylosis, and inappropriate materials used in early conservation projects are being replaced. Limited restoration works have been carried out to aid visitor interpretation with original archaeological levels being clearly defined by a prominent black line set in the new mortar joints. Certain significant archaeological elements, such as the Roman camps and siegeworks, remain virtually untouched. The authenticity is therefore of a very high level." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masada "Josephus writes that the site was first fortified by Alexander Jannaeus in the first century BCE.[4] Herod the Great captured it in the power struggle that followed the death of his father Antipater.[4] It survived the siege of the last Hasmonean king Antigonus II Mattathias, who ruled with Parthian support.[4]" Total Article Citation Count: 57 www.gutenberg.org/files/2850/2850-h/2850-h.htm 'The Wars of The Jews' by Flavius Josephus, Book IV, Chapter 7, Paragraph 2. Those are some of my more layman sources which I figured your little bigoted brain would be able to understand, UNESCO, a highly cited aggregate article and someone who actually visited the site during the Great Revolt. What do you have?
Purped Pat lmao, you know nothing about the history behind parthenon. I live in Greece and i have been there, it is amazing. Plus, the parthenon is one of 7 wonders of the world. It had to be at least in the top 5.
johno doh the thing that destroys greece is that the residents do not care about the country as whole, but their own house, which got with a loan of 100000 euros and now they cant pay back
Really, nothing from Egypt? I'm not fussed about the Pyramids but wheres the temple of Karnak, Edfu, colossi of memnon or even the temple site of Luxor?
I know it's fun to be surprised and see something different in a Top 10 list. But the Great Pyrimid and the Great Wall NEED to be numbers 1 and 2 otherwise it's not a very good list.
I love a good art history lesson. I was lucky enough to see Ephesus and the Architecture there. It was my favorite part of my Study Abroad trip to Turkey back 2011. The funniest part was seeing the Public Male's restroom lol.
People, stop whining about your favorite site not being in the list. The Seven Wonders of antiquity, were originally compiled as a tourist guide. Which is what this is as well. A lot were left out back then. if you care so much about all this sites you mention, i am sure you spend a lot of your time trying to protect them. Right? ..Right? Or did you just remember they exist because they were not mentioned in a youtube list?
You guys didn't say the part that in its construction, the macchu Picchu didn't use mortar whatsoever and that structure is conjoined by weight alone because the stones are perfectly cut
A list of 10 only monuments is impossible to be made for the whole world. So, I can understand if some monuments are left out of it. But there must have been some kind of criteria for the selection. They are unclear to me. In that sense, how do the pyramids of Ghiza, the Great Wall of China, or the Parthenon be left out, just to mention a few?
That's actually false, 1 stricture fell over in the 18th century and was put back up in 1958, (Restoring) which is what happens to pretty much every ancient structures around the world. There's paintings dating back 100s of years of the stones and they look the same as they do now. Most of it has been standing for 1000s of years
humanparadox they make so many videos, most absolute shit. Lots of these videos most can't relate too, and people subscribe only for the few that they can.
Went to Rome this past March and the Coliseum wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be. It would have been nice to see something else in its places on this list.
NightKnight it’s because of the history not the building itself it isn’t in good condition so it isn’t that nice but people see it to admire the history which is why it’s such a big attraction because of all the history that has happened in the colosseum
ALL THE PEOPLE SAYING "oh watchmojo, you didn't put ________ on here, your such a stupid channel." This is a top *TEN* list they can't fit everything on here.
WTF? Chichen Itza one of the new 7 wonders of the world is not here? what about the Aztec ruins or Giza? Palenque? Bonampak? Yaxchilan? Tonina? or the mysterious Teotihuacan? shame on you watchmojo.com
Unfortunately, the Aztec Empire was founded in 1428 AD, and since the cut-off date for sites on this list is 600 AD, that disqualifies it. Additionally, what part of the Aztec Empire? This is a video about specific ancient ruins, not whole ancient empires.
The Aztecs built a hall city over a lake, city that now has become one of the largest in the world in other hand Chichen-Itza is also one of the new 7 wonders. Not to mention Teotihuacan nor Greek and Chinese architecture. I may not agree with many of your tops, but this is the first time I believe you didn’t prepare properly.
Palmyra? Jerash? Pompeii? Herculaneum? Acropolis? Valley Of The Kings? Pyramids Of Giza? Luxor? Abu Simbel? Nubian Pyramids of Meroe? Chichen Itza? Caracol? Lamanai? Persepolis? The Great Wall Of China? Ait Benhaddou? Timbuktu? Timgad? Carthage? Leptis Magna? Great Zimbabwe?
I don't agree with having things built in medieval times on a list for ANCIENT structures. I mean really the Parthenon, pyramids, sphinx, and the great wall weren't on here! Now do I think ALL of these should have been on the list? Maybe, maybe not, but some of them AT LEAST.
Well, when they talk about "Ancient", you expect to hear about BC civilizations (unless you are from one of the new independent countries that appeared a few hundred years ago). But we don't see Giza pyramids, The Acropolis of Athens or Persian Susa and Persepolis here.
#1 My grandma's house
Aaroncfx10 hahahahaha nice profile picture I kept trying to remove that hair of my screen till I realized it's a pic xD.. So stupid I know 😂😂😂
Mohamed Ashraf Same here Lol I didn't even know it was a profile picture until it didn't come off. 😂
Yeah, I went there.
My sweet grandma passed away though
What about Pompeii?
RAMS Best wth do you mean NO?
It’s literally an entire city which is ruined, and also shows us what Antiquity was like.
I'm surprise "chichen itza", "The pyramids" of Egypt and "The Great Wall" of China weren't on the list. I'm even more surprise that "Montezuma castle" even made it on the list, That thing isn't even impressive.
Jack Sparrow but that's list of ruins not whole buildings
Jack Sparrow moron
Yeah the Parthenon isn't there either
Jack Sparrow im with you there are ancient ruins more interestings that this montezuma ancient ruin.
Shouldn't you be out raiding ships in the sea? What is Jack Soarrow doing on RUclips?
There are a lot of structures that should have been on the list. As a peruvian I'm proud that Machu Picchu was on the 1st place.
Montezuma Castle? REALLY? Wow! Watch Mojo is really lowering its already low standards, isn't it?
I completely agree! If you want cities built into the rocks, Mesa Verde in Colorado is far more impressive.
They just wanted to include stuff to appease the American crowd
I'm peruvian and this is easily the first time I see anything from my country appearing on those lists, anyway I'm just happy
jose eduardo hurtado it was 1 ...
Cool
Ancient history was one of my favorite topics in school. Would love to see the ruins in Rome.
It's surprising how Pompeii didn't make it in this list, you really feel that you've traveled in time, and you get to understand Roman culture a lot better
No Acropolis in the list?
I hope there will be another list with ruins like Pyramids of Giza, Parthenon, The Great Wall of China, Masada, Karnak, Hagia Sophia, Jetavanaramaya or the Pantheon. Not something like this "Montezuma Castle", which was build around 1200 century AD. The Cheops Pyramid was build in third millenium BC, it is not even a debate. But I guess Americans would be pissed if there was no ruin from their country on this list...
Y'all forgot the gobeklitepe, probably you've never heard of it.
not sure how they've not, its the oldest and biggest temple to date around 90,000 square feet which is about 11-12 football fields if my memory serves me been a while since i studied it at uni
What kind of weed are you smoking guys in watchmojo??? You were talking about the Greek civilization and you don't even mention the Parthenon nor the Delphi nor Mycene not even Ancient Olympia! And you put the Colloseum instead of these??
Shame on you!
They r smoking golden calf brand
JIVAS InI Absolutely fucking idiots.
panos kon go to school ffs and learn about the ancient greek civilization and how sophisticated they were
Vape Nation Pepe Dude I call idiots the ones who made the video for not mentioning Greek monuments. Of course I know about ancient Greece and how sophisticated they were. I'm from Greece btw
panos kon if thats your problem, i am from Greece too. Too bad half of Greece doesnt give a fuck about our ancient civilization

Petra remains the best place ever .. You can not imagine how surprised you are when visiting Petra
Whenever I see pictures of ancient ruins it always reminds me of Tomb Raider.

Agree 100%. I'm bummed Hatra or Palmyra weren't mentioned.
Nothing from the Mesopotamia region :(
TheHuman Comalies Uhhh, Masada is NOT Nabatean. it's Hasmonean and Herodian as in Judean.

Four Aces Gaming yeah really like y u no parthenon

Purped Pat lmao, you know nothing about the history behind parthenon. I live in Greece and i have been there, it is amazing. Plus, the parthenon is one of 7 wonders of the world. It had to be at least in the top 5.
too western for the current political climate
johno doh the thing that destroys greece is that the residents do not care about the country as whole, but their own house, which got with a loan of 100000 euros and now they cant pay back
Great to see my country's ancient ruins in video
Seriously, dude? Nothing from ancient Egypt?
CESayers1 shut the fuck up bitch.
CESayers1 I'm an expert on ancient Egypt and it offends me for them not shining light on one of the top most known ancient civilizations
Nice video!!
I have been to Ephesus and they have done a great work preserving it the whole city is amazing
Good job!
Really, nothing from Egypt? I'm not fussed about the Pyramids but wheres the temple of Karnak, Edfu, colossi of memnon or even the temple site of Luxor?
Not even philae or even saqqarah and kom ombo
Ancient Cultures from the Department of Ancient Studies brought me here :)
Most of these “ruins” are as ancient as my grandparents farm house. (12 th century ). Wtf are the real well preserved monuments ???
looks like alot of these structures were built for Giants by Giants
Just like we making sky touching buildings now
Sure. Aliens all of them.
I know it's fun to be surprised and see something different in a Top 10 list. But the Great Pyrimid and the Great Wall NEED to be numbers 1 and 2 otherwise it's not a very good list.
Lara Croft has been to many places, a couple were on this list. In fact, one of her first adventures was in Angkor Wat!
Fascinating
Pompeii should definitely be included on this list
I think Persepolis definitely deserves a mention at least :)

Top 10 Celebrity Impressionist... how has this one not been done yet?
you guys should get a travel channel
This list is purely aesthetic to me, I love it
You've missed the biggest and most impressive acient buildings in existance... the piramids i found the most surprizing
I always pass by stone henge when visiting my grandma but I didn’t know how important it really was!
You guys didn't say the part that in its construction, the macchu Picchu didn't use mortar whatsoever and that structure is conjoined by weight alone because the stones are perfectly cut
So cute when non-historians try to "count down" these types of things. Needless to say this it s populist joke.
Well said, Mate!🇦🇺🍺🦈🇦🇺
Why so mad?
How did Gobekli Tepe, the oldest known ruins on the planet, not make this list!?!?!?
Ruins, not civilisations.

Lucky to see some of these ruins and waiting to visit rest of them 😍
I bet y'all didn't notice that the mountain in Machu Picchu is in the shape of a human face looking at the sky...
Macchu Picchu, Perú
I hate to break it to you, but the Stonehenge you see today was mostly reconstructed in 1958.
That's actually false, 1 stricture fell over in the 18th century and was put back up in 1958, (Restoring) which is what happens to pretty much every ancient structures around the world.

I'm shocked the Great Pyramids are not on this list.
Ephesus is incredible war there a few years ago and it’s literally breathtaking.
How does this channel have so many subscribers but so few views per video?
humanparadox They post videos on so many different subjects that most people who subscribe only watch a few of them.

The fact that Angkor is not #1 is a crime. Period :S
7:14-My favorite is the colosseum, but hey this is good too.
I live near Stonehendge, they're cool, and worth saving, but compared other old things round the world, it's really just bunch of rocks.
Facts
You guys should make a list of Ancient Ruins that no longer exist.
You can thank ISIL for about two thirds of that :(
I love Angkor Wat
Went to Rome this past March and the Coliseum wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be. It would have been nice to see something else in its places on this list.

Baalbek in Lebanon, the most underrated ancient ruin in the world!
ALL THE PEOPLE SAYING "oh watchmojo, you didn't put ________ on here, your such a stupid channel." This is a top *TEN* list they can't fit everything on here.
WTF? Chichen Itza one of the new 7 wonders of the world is not here? what about the Aztec ruins or Giza? Palenque? Bonampak? Yaxchilan? Tonina? or the mysterious Teotihuacan? shame on you watchmojo.com
I expected perspolis to be at least an honorable mention
all places I want to go good list!
I've been to Montezuma Castle and it's really cool.
It shouldn't be on the list
Ever think Stonehenge was just the foundation ?
The Aztec empire should be on here
Unfortunately, the Aztec Empire was founded in 1428 AD, and since the cut-off date for sites on this list is 600 AD, that disqualifies it. Additionally, what part of the Aztec Empire? This is a video about specific ancient ruins, not whole ancient empires.
No it's not :)) they even mentioned at the beginning.... Just look at Angkor Wat... 12th century.
Tehotihuacan should be here and near the top!
best mojo ever!!!
The people from Ephesus are even mentioned in The Bible (A Reading From The Letter Of St Paul To The Ephesians).
HELLO !! Egyptian Pyramids !!
Finally Arizona is on a list!!!
make a origins for swamp thing plz
I've been to all but four, including the honorable mentions.
its funny how machu pichu is number one but they barely describe it theyre just like yeah its high up
Danny Darko Exactly my thoughts. Even though everybody knows its in Peru, they did not mentioned it. Also the Parthenon should be here.
What about the Maltese temples? Those are some of the oldest ruins on the planet
Gladiators didn’t fight to the death that wasn’t allowed in the arena
yes machu picchu
Where's the great pyramid of Giza? Took them almost thirty years to build it in 2600BC and you can't see that beating a house in a wall?
You have to make another list
The Aztecs built a hall city over a lake, city that now has become one of the largest in the world in other hand Chichen-Itza is also one of the new 7 wonders. Not to mention Teotihuacan nor Greek and Chinese architecture. I may not agree with many of your tops, but this is the first time I believe you didn’t prepare properly.
Palmyra?
Jerash?
Pompeii?
Herculaneum?
Acropolis?
Valley Of The Kings?
Pyramids Of Giza?
Luxor?
Abu Simbel?
Nubian Pyramids of Meroe?
Chichen Itza?
Caracol?
Lamanai?
Persepolis?
The Great Wall Of China?

how the hell did they not talk about Indiana Jones when talking about Petra?
Where is göbekli tepe is older than Stonage and bigger
Göbekli Tepe
Or Ggantija/Mnajdra. Hagar Qim Temples
Petra appears in the fourth Indiana Jones film.
I am surprised that the acropolis in Athens is not here.
In micronesia, pohnpei there are castles date back 1800 years ago
What is the THUMBNAIL of ?
The ruins of Ephesus are the ruins of Roman Ephesus, not many greek structures left.
Ephesus is even mentioned in the Bible. Like a reading from the letter Of St Paul To The Ephesians.
I don't agree with having things built in medieval times on a list for ANCIENT structures. I mean really the Parthenon, pyramids, sphinx, and the great wall weren't on here! Now do I think ALL of these should have been on the list? Maybe, maybe not, but some of them AT LEAST.
Who else saw a Target commercial before the vid
A place like Macha Pichu appears at the end of the fourth Indiana Jones film
I saw Montezuma castle
Petra. As seen in Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade.
Nothing from Ancient Egypt. Nothing from East Asia. Totally.
Well, when they talk about "Ancient", you expect to hear about BC civilizations (unless you are from one of the new independent countries that appeared a few hundred years ago). But we don't see Giza pyramids, The Acropolis of Athens or Persian Susa and Persepolis here.
I made a mistake. Petra appears in the third Indiana Jones film.
So Stonehedge is more incredible than Acropolis, the Great Sinic Wall and the Pyramids....
