I'm not sure anyone could comprehend the effect you've had on us here in lockdown, especially during winter storm seasons. You transported us to a world of bright sun, beautiful beaches, and wonderfully historical architecture. I may never get the chance to be there in person, but thanks to you, so many now know a bit of how it feels to walk those streets. I thank you for the time and effort you put into these videos, they are truly wonderful. Best wishes from America!
I was 10 years old , when my family immigrated to Canada , from a small town nearby the temples . My parents never took me to see them . Now thanks to you , I can see them and the beautiful land nearby . Truly , my homeland ... God Bless Sicilia , even though I'll never be back ...
My grandmother was born just west of Agrigento in Montaperto. I played a Europe guitar tour, 17 concerts in 6 countries with the last concert being in my cousin's big house in Montaperto. My other cousins live in Villaggio Mosé, San Leone and Aragona. I stay with some of them when I visit, unless I want to be alone. Then I do hotels in downtown Agrigento. There is no place on earth like Sicily.
My friend, people are like trees! If you cut the roots, the tree will have no future. Trust me, many would love to have that privilege! Our roots are our heritage, and they are priceless
It's incredible, isn't it? To think that the Greeks made it as far as Sicily in the 8th Century BC is mind-boggling. They also established colonies on the Italian mainland. Truly impressive.
As to getting there, against all advice I walked about 20 minutes downhill from Ag. train station to the site. Was much more pleasant than bus logistics, some parts on an abandoned roadbed. When ready to exit you are at an opposite end of the site and a different busy highway beacons your return, but I was afraid it could be pedestrian unfriendly so backtracked endlessly. Lesson was, scout both routes in google earth.
Agrigento Valle dei Templi. Un paradiso da visitare.. un panorama mozzafiato. Mare stupendo , lungo mare San Leone bellissimo c'è un concentrato di bar,. Chioschi sul lato a del mare,,,e stupendi ristoranti dove sì può gustare del buon pesce ,e dei piatti casarecci del posto. In poche parole bedra sicilia
Thank you so much for making these videos. Walking through the ancient structures and ruins is very fascinating, the more historical information you can share the better. I enjoy all of your videos, but the ones like this are by far my favorite.
INCREDIBLE !! The ability, however derived, of the Greeks to get those boulders up there, carve them, and get the 12 ton cubetangles up on top of the columns defies imagination as well as anything we have tried to figure out. Another mind-blowing journey from the master.
I wish I could time travel to the past and see these temples as they once stood and see the relireligous rituals being performed in honor of the diety and also see the people themselves goin in and worshipping. All e have now are ruins, it would be cool to see them in tehir entirety
A tall figure matching the Courier's description approached from the western path directly ahead of him. He wore a greatsword on his hip along with crossed body satchel. The Courier was dressed mid House Byllria colors. Procampur, second most prominent Organization. If afforded him respect from all pass-byers, as they parted before him. Here. Laden thought he would have to deduced, every notable person. When in actuality, the mark just holds up a sign. Laden moved to the left side of the building he was currently perched. Leaping over the side while grabbing a rung - using only the rails, he slid down the ladder and landed lightly. Morran stepped out of the alley midst a bustling thoroughfare. The courier was slightly mid his right. - The Mark turned left, then began to move away from him. The Marketplace was packed, with people moving amid random intervals. Vividness, that challenged the fashionable spectrum.- verdant amid reds who complimented fiery neutral.
The Valley of The Temples looks like a puzzle of stones. Its unbelievable that people can put the pieces of columns back together . I love the captions explaining the history of this area. Great job!!
the excess of commercials that constantly interrupt the video causes the viewer to lose interest in the video and not see it in its entirety. youtube has to improve that, they are not stupid and I imagine they have excellent programmers. they can perfectly put a small band that does not take up much space at the bottom where they put their ads. youtube, stop being assholes that that way you will lose more followers.🤔😡😠
I'll check it out when I get back to my computer. For some reason youtube will put a lot of ads on some videos and not on others. I don't want there to be a lot of ads though. I know it's pretty disruptive.
Really good walk. Just a point of interest. Sir Alexander Hardcastle was a naval officer and the grandson of Sir William Herchel, discoverer of the planet Uranus.
So, when you finished the walk, how did you get back to your vehicle, a bike stashed away, hitch hike or a loooong walk back. I remember when I was doing 2o and 30 KIlometer race walks, the hardest part was the open, flat sections where you felt you weren't going anyplace.:) Just asking, Rik
Yeah, I had parked back at the beginning by the ticket office so I had to walk back. I should have brought some water with me. :) There was a vending machine towards the end but it wasn't working. Some people park at the end and then take a shuttle to the beginning...but...I would rather walk than pay for a ride. :)
@@ProWalks I feel the same way except when I'm really tired,, but that place is so amazing even retracing your walk back must have been awesome. I hope you and your family are enjoying a somewhat less restricted Spring, I can't wait to see what you have in store for us:) Cheers, Rik
Superb video! The close caption was not too distracting and made everything "meld" together so that I felt as if I was your companion on a personal tour with a highly professional trained academic versed in the "valley temples!" Incredible camera work! Both my paternal grandparents are from Santa Margherita de' Belice,'....which is a small town in Agrigento! As I was experiencing your tour I was wondering if my grandfather "Cologero" may have walked these very same paths or steps as a child in the 1890's or early 1900's, before he emigrated to America. I still have his marriage and baptismal certificates although I understand the original town was destroyed by earthquake years ago! My most sincere thanks for this, my wife and I will seriously consider a trip to Sicily (I have been to Syracusa and Messina only briefly) but was on a group tour. I was still impressed by the Cathedral in Syracusa that had been first a Greek temple, then a Byzantine church, then a mosque and then a cathedral again with the Greek columns filled in with concrete as part of one of the walls. It left QUITE an impression on me! Again, mi complimenti and Mille' Grazie compare'!
What an amazing place, our modern builders have nothing on the builders of those edifices. Wouldn't it be something to see a computerized rendering of the Temple of Zeus and the others in their heyday? Thank you :) Cheers, Rik Spector
Think I'll need to return to Italy again, in previous trip I got a grip only on part between Roma and Napoli, I see there is much more to see, especially in Sicily
I'm blessed to be one of the first people to watch this video just published today. Thanks for the incredible video. You put so much in your work and you are the expert on Southern Italy and especially Sicily. I'm a history buff and enjoy watching it and will watch it over and over again. I studied prophecy and liked your mention of the Bible books like Daniel, etc, when written and the time "the temple of heracles" was built. Your subtitles last long, great, and gives us enough time to read.
You are right though. I don't place the ads. RUclips does. I didn't realize how many there were until someone else said said something. The last video I posted was an hour and half and had three adds. This one is 60 minutes and had 11. I don't know why. I deleted half of them.
We don't need magnificent temples to be intact. Italy now is a Christian country. As you can see from the video, some of them were even converted to Churches. One like "the temple of Zeus" was never completed and destroyed by earthquake.

No? Why not?
yeah why not, ticket to Europe nowadays wont cost you your house...

Thanks for sharing your moments with us it’s amazing and professional
I love that you're doing so much in sicily, amazing!
Your entire series on Sicily is excellent. Thank you for the videos !
the ancients built way more impressive structures than we do today
akragas! concordia temple and UNESCO! interesting and amazing
Well done! I appreciate this way of experiencing the trek with natural sound! As a Videographer myself I applaud your camerawork!
Buon Giorno Tutti. Bella Italia!

Se vuoi conoscere la storia e in SICILIA che devi andare..TERRA DEL 🌞....❤❤❤
Wow what a beautiful share. It looks awesome. Great capture. Watching from Germany.
I would love to visit Sicily, this is Italy at it most authentic!
I would love to visit this place and many other in Sicily. Thanks for the outstanding video.

Spettacolo da vedere assolutamente! Bellissimo 🥰
💚🤍❤️
Thanks Isaac. I need to go to Sicily day and see all this in person. Ciao
Hey Clark, yeah, I think Sicily is worth a visit for sure, if you have a car. My two favorite places were Trapani and Cefalu .
@@ProWalks i love to go there and to Sardinia too. Grazie
Another great stroll, thanks Isaac. Enjoyed this one with our feet up with some Sicilian olives and a bottle of Sicilian red for added presence!
I wish I could time travel to the past and see these temples as they once stood and see the relireligous rituals being performed in honor of the diety and also see the people themselves goin in and worshipping. All e have now are ruins, it would be cool to see them in tehir entirety
Yeah, for sure!

Adoro esse vídeo e a musica também. Que música é essa? Alguem pode me dizer pfv. Abraços do Brasil.
Hello I come from Vietnam🇻🇳
Wow wonderful 👌 I didn't know this place but it's so beautiful !
Grazie, Grazie, Grazie........XXX
Ancient Greeks sure knew how to pick the BEST real estate
loved this video tour. however I was nervous that you would encounter a snake.
What would happen if you went inside since no one is around. So far to go and not get to experience the inside.
Greece and Rome only two empires that they built on the land they concurred as we can see it today all over the world
Always happy to watch you. Great work ! Thank you so much ! Love the caption and the music.
Look so beautiful
Are the temples all along the same place or do we need to drive or walk far from site to site
The Valley of The Temples looks like a puzzle of stones. Its unbelievable that people can put the pieces of columns back together . I love the captions explaining the history of this area. Great job!!
This video should have 2 billion views. Sicily has so many wonders! Truly one of the most beautiful places on earth.
Nice !!!🚶🚶walking tour💗💗🌞☘️💞
Fantastic video of a fantastic place. Thanks for sharing.
beautiful tour
Absolutely amazing!

I was there in 2005. How time flies😍
Do you mind me asking if you live in Italy and what you do for work there?
Hey Mark, yes, I've lived in Italy for six years now working as a high school math teacher.
Really good walk. Just a point of interest. Sir Alexander Hardcastle was a naval officer and the grandson of Sir William Herchel, discoverer of the planet Uranus.
So,
when you finished the walk, how did you get back to your vehicle, a bike stashed away, hitch hike or a loooong walk back.

Akragas
Would you consider Ostia Antica Tour? xxx
That's in the plans. Just waiting until I have time to get up there. School is almost out. :)
There's something special about these walking tours. This is really nice. . Feels like I'm the one walking through!
Superb video! The close caption was not too distracting and made everything "meld" together so that I felt as if I was your companion on a personal tour with a highly professional trained academic versed in the "valley temples!" Incredible camera work!

Oh! 😎 Just want to be there, nothing like walking around beautiful ruins. I spent some time in palmyra, siria, heaven. Before it was damaged 😭
What an amazing place, our modern builders have nothing on the builders of those edifices.
Wouldn't it be something to see a computerized rendering of the Temple of Zeus and the others in their heyday?
Thank you :)
Cheers,
Rik Spector

Great!!!!!!
Come to India. Our temples are ancient and intact, you will enjoy filming them!

You should visit Takhte-Jamshid in Shiraz, Iran.
Beautiful land and valley good informative and historic
Fantastica Agrigento 👍👍🇮🇹🇮🇹👏👏
I'm from Latvia at the Baltic sea. Thank you for the video!
Thank you for another installment of scenic splendour and fascinating historical information. I'm looking forward to the next one!
Another great video! Thanks prowalk 🤩
Even among your usually outstanding videos this is truly special
Amazing video. Do you have a timeline? Grazie Mille. x
I have been here it's spectacular ! Sicilia Bella ❤️
So Cool 👍🇨🇦
Amazing!
Obrigado pelo trabalho
Syria, sorry, 🙄😊
Great! The map link shows a walk in Montepulciano however.
Dang...I'll fix that real quick. thanks for the info.
gua lagi susah b a b
First
:) !
Second :)
! ! ! 🏆
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Its hard to enjoy without knowing the history behind what we are looking at
If you turn on closed captions you will be able to read the history throughout the walk.
I'm still waiting for Messina )
Trapani is next :)
Too many damn ads. Ridiculous.
Would you do it for free. Good value
You are right though. I don't place the ads. RUclips does. I didn't realize how many there were until someone else said said something. The last video I posted was an hour and half and had three adds. This one is 60 minutes and had 11. I don't know why. I deleted half of them.
@@ProWalks Your videos are great, but that many ads is intolerable. Let’s hope it’s for a limited time.
@@ProWalks The ads don't bother me. We cannot have values like these totally free. This is still a good deal.
Come to india we will show u temples hundreds years old still intact with magnificent architect
See u soon
We don't need magnificent temples to be intact. Italy now is a Christian country. As you can see from the video, some of them were even converted to Churches. One like "the temple of Zeus" was never completed and destroyed by earthquake.
You can't compare the two ....Totally different cultures ...
