Have you ever visited Palmyra? ❤
Nop but i love it already... Reminds me of baalbek Lebanon with some little differences..... By d way was the site renovated sometime in the past... There's metal rebar everywhere or at least in the demolished structures
Yes in 2010
Yes, yesterday with Julia and Matt
Yes, I was in Tadmur, October 2022
Yeh I am already from there😢but I'm in Turkey now
This makes me so emotional, the unimaginable , the peaceful people whose lives and history turned upside down by evil.Thank you for witnessing for us all.
So glad we could share it with you Sheila ❤️
Yeah, and now the Arab league has decided Bashir Assad isn't so bad
ISIS is creation of Israel with funding from United States of America. The mission of ISIS was two part. First, in Iraq to punish the iraqi government for NOT giving the rebuilding contracts to US and British companies but instead the contracts were awarded to china and Brazil and a few other countries but most China outbid all other companies. Second part for the work of ISIS was remove the Syrian government under Bashar al Assad and install a puppet government that would turn Syria into another iraq with destruction of everything. Destruction of major historic sites such as Palmyra was intention by Israel because Syria is a major competitor for Israel as to religious and historic sites tourism. Israel took the opportunity to destroy not only major infrastructure of the country but also its historic sites and killed people who knew this history such as the man mentioned 8n this video in order to completely wipe out the place and to deviate all tourism dollars towards Israel. Let's not forget that each one of these countries in this region is a major historical attraction site that brings millions of tourists and billions of tourism dollars

The Arab League decided to grow some grapefruits once RU stood up to NATO the 14th Waffen SS units in Ukr and saved Syria from the US/NATO armed and trained ISIS, YPG and Al-Nusra te****ists.
It choked me up seeing the destruction of Palmyra.....and elsewhere and really shook me up. The Syrian people must be so heartbroken. My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to them and those who needlessly lost their lives to such evil....😢
Thank you for filming this. There are no words adequate to express how sad it is for all that was destroyed and for all the lives that were lost.
Couldn’t agree more Cheryl, we were so lost for words, truly shocking.
Be thankful that you're not livin (dying) here
All that ancient history senselessly destroyed. It's heartbreaking!! 😭
We were honestly lost for words 😩
This tragic fate that desecrated Palmyra was painful to see and I know it must have been difficult to imagine the horror that the residents endured under ISIS. On a happier note, you captured the essence of Syrians, a most welcoming and friendly people. Of course their native dishes are "mouthwatering", your lunch in the car had me "drooling". Thanks for showing to the world what happened here. Wishing both of you a pleasant and rewarding weekend. ❤🫂❤️🙏🌎🕊
Thank you so much John! Really appreciate your support! Lots of love to you 🙏🏼🥰❤️

it fills me with sadness and despair what ISIS did to so many culturally / historical sights in the name of extreme religion
An absolute travesty 💔
And so the story continues...an amazing and emotional video ...difficult to find the words really, but thank you for showing us Matt and Julia Xx
Thank you so much John, really appreciate your support! 🙏🏼❤️
The stupidity of war and hate and ignorance. Sadness

Overpopulation is the cause of all problems
You two are fantastic journalists. Thanks for sharing the Syrian story. This has been happening since the beginning of mankind. Humans are a destructive people. Thank God for the nice ones.
Thank you Fred ❤️
I used to go to Palmyra every year before the war, I was still a kid then and always collected those postcards (I still have them back at my home) It's always disheartening to see how this place which was reserved for decades is now ruined..
To try to erase History is the ultimate tragedy. And the zealots who chose to destroy people's lives and homes. It's sad and a wakeup call for all of us to stay aware.
The video was and storytelling was documented so well. It's difficult to fathom why a group of people would do such a thing. It brought tears to our eyes. It's a story that needed to be told.
We love you guys dearly.❤❤❤ Hope you guys are doing ok. 🙏🙏🙏 Harriet, Jim and Yuki
Thank you so much guys, really glad you found it interesting! Lots of love to you both 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️
How amazing that you had the courage to go there to show us all. Thank you❤
So glad you found it interesting Gillian! 🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
I loved the man in the yellow sweater. His smile, thinking about ancient times.Thanks again you both, for filming such a great historical place with magnificent local people. The ancient places, where your (singing)voice can still fill the complete theatre arena.Loved it!❤from The Netherlands
He's Suicidal like the rest of syrians
Thank you so much! Lots of love to the Netherlands 🙏🏼❤️🥰
This was so sad to watch. The devastation of the beautiful ruins still show how magnificent this site was. I will never understand the ideology of that group of people.
Not one sane person will ever come close to understanding that group 😩

Let's not forget that each one of these countries in this region is a major historical attraction site that brings millions of tourists and billions of tourism dollars. The hosting and project coordination for this effort was by Turkey's Erdogan who took the opportunity to invade northern Syria and killing christian cities and Kurdish villages but he failed to finish his job so that's why US was angry towards him and portrayed him as the aggressor in the region. Erdogan knew that USA was digging up a hole for him similar to the hole they dug up for Saddam Hussein when they green lighted for him the invasion. So Erdogan is back to playing his political and military moves in the region safe. That's the summary of it. Now you know the truth behind it and you can put together the pieces of the puzzle 🧩 🧩 for the reason for creation of ISIS, its origin, intended work and major players in this so called civil war. How it ended? When Russia started to bomb ISIS locations and cells. Russian intervention in this war revealed that the US and Israel were the creators, incubators, and hosting forces for ISIS in the region. American news agencies went blank and silent about this subject because they were shown as the criminals to the whole world

I never can begin to imagine how a group of people can be filled with such hatred/violence that they are willing to destroy everything in their path. May God have mercy! 😢
If god exist he will have to beg Syrians for Forgiveness
Couldn’t agree more @Back in Nebraska
Thank you so much for shifting the topics to include the serious side of things. This is what we are most anxious to learn about. I love your channel!
Thank you so much, we really appreciate it 🙏🏼❤️
I'm Syrian this video just breaking my heart we can't heal easily after all what happened to us but we stay always welcoming people ❤️
Greeting matt Julia
To be honest this video leaves me very depressed !!! I knew the history of Palmyra and what had happened but had not seen actual video touring the ruins. What a mess!
I'm gathering strength for the next videos... obviously it won't be a happy series. From my heart I wish you both the best and I hope you are well. Regards
Thank you Alejandro! We want to show the reality of what people are dealing with in Syria for sure, but some of the following videos will be more for positive and focusing on the beauty of the people here 🥰❤️
Really well done vid. Really well produced. Your videos over the past couple years have gotten better and better from a production standpoint. I think you could even sell your series to someone like PBS in the US. Anyway - very profound area you were filming and yes so unreal to see such destruction.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼❤️
I would think it takes a certain amount of emotional fortitude to visit a place of such brutal destruction, let alone try and transcribe that experience for us. Yet, we are right there with you. This ain't no fluffy travel channel. Thank you for being you and doing what you do so well.
Thank you so much, that means the world 🙏🏼❤️
I remember this being shown on TV and felt so sad. Once again great video ,go safe , look forward to next time❤
Thank you so much Jeff 🥰❤️
I have just found your channel, I've watched 3 of your Syria videos so far and I wept through them. It's truly devastating what we humans are capable of doing to one another. My spirit hurts for the people of Syria. Thank you for going and sharing them with us.
I'm sitting here watching this horrendous level of destruction and I am close to tears. That such wonderful history was so senselessly destroyed by people who were too ignorant to know better is too much to bear. I can only imagine how the people of Palmyra felt and continue to feel. Yet they are smiling and friendly. God bless them. Great video guys. 🥰🤩
Thank you so much Nix, really appreciate your support ❤️🙏🏼
I think it was not exactly ignorance but rather utter radicalization. Level of education for instance had nothing to do with it.
Such a cultural treasure, and to see irreplaceable structures reduced to rubble. Heartbreaking! The theatre was wonderful. Never been there, but in a way I have because you took us there. Thanks for sharing,
This is very sad video to watch! 😢this is a crime against the whole world to destroy historical city like this😪 Thanks for sharing the good and the bad. Stay safe and have fun traveling. Cheers 🌯🌯🤠
Thank you so much! So glad you found it interesting 🙏🏼

This is a perfect example of the quote from 1785 man’s inhumanity to man. This makes me so sad and angry. Please stay safe and thank you for sharing this journey.
Thank you so much Rhonie, couldn’t agree more ❤️
Thank you so much for traveling to this historic place! I have always wanted to see it! I know it is only a little taste but I feel a little taste is better than ignorance. Thank you!
So glad we could share it Sharon 🙏🏼❤️
War Kills!! Remove seeds of war plant seeds of peace!! Greetings from New York city.
This is painfull but the music and shots, voice overs, the editing is looking *chef's kiss* super profesional. Love it, be safe guys!!!
Thank you so much my love! So happy to hear from you! Hope you are well 🙏🏼❤️
As an artist myself and lover of art and history. I think I would be weeping the entire time if I visited Palmyra. Thank you for sharing.
I'mma Multi_Artist and Cartooniest, I hope you travel to country that deserve vistinging
There is still so much beauty 🙏🏼❤️
@@MattandJulia no and you know that., it's the horrible country you have been in
And let us not forget other horrors like the temple in Afghanistan or the bridge in Mosul or Cambodia bombings of a whole country, and on and on. Sad and depressing. Yet your reports show hope. Thanks again
Indeed, so much pain caused 💔
You guys are so brave to even do this piece. thank you + salute guys.
It is so sad to see destruction after destruction 😢 all the ancient + historic
May we always choose love over war.
Thank you so much guys! ❤️🙏🏼
I cried to see this senseless destruction but WANT to see the truth of it in a way that no network or news service could truly show. And it is not lost on me that you two are welcomed as visitors to a place where kindness and appreciation must be the only way to go forward. With this video, YOU made the sun come out and I am never so filled with hope as when I watch you take us to guarded places and hurting hearts and feel the earliest stirs of connection reborn.
Too many People wish They were never born
Thank you so much Andrea ❤️❤️
Thank you for another beautiful vlog, and what an amazing place to go and see, obviously it would of looked even more beautiful before the damage happened but even with what happened it is still a true wonder of the world, and it looked like you had a wonderful guide, who showed his love n passion for the area and it’s history, so thanks again , as always have fun and enjoy your travels x
Really glad you found it interesting and insightful David 🙏🏼❤️
Beautiful culture was between rome and persia
Share, share, share that is the only thing. I have no words after seeing this. Such courage you have
Thank you so much Lise 🙏🏼❤️
Wow! That’s so sad! I didn’t realize how much historical sites were destroyed. Thanks for sharing this. It’s so eye opening and heart breaking.
An impressive and emotional episode your videos are becoming a must watch on my subscriptions !!
Thank you so much Ben! That means the world ❤️🙏🏼
I want to cry at the horrible destruction of a beautiful site. How men could have done this is pure evil. I may never be able to visit but your visit showed me what I feared since 2015.
Thank you so much Shelly 🙏🏼❤️
Great job of storytelling. Peace on Earth. ❤
Thank you so much ❤️✌🏻
The destruction of Syria and so many historical sights that are treasures of humanity is something I will never forgive. What Isis did to destroy the region is absolutely despicable. Gaza is now suffering a similar fate to Syria. Inshallah we shall see peace and justice soon 🤲 🇵🇸 🇸🇾 🇱🇧 🇸🇩 🇸🇴 🇾🇪 🤲 🕊️ 🌍
Thank you for this video. Syria was on my list. Unfortunately I was working in South Sudan when this horrid war began. I am grateful to you for the video & immensely heartened to hope this is finally coming to an end. Inshallah. 🙏🙏🙏
Stunning in every way ! Thank you ! 🙏💕🌷
Thank you Yvonne 🙏🏼❤️
You guys are just awesome, thank you once again for sharing the experience and journey. I look forward to every new upload - stay safe :)
Thank you so much for joining us ❤️🙏🏼
Remember that happening and i was gutted. I love history and hate to see its destruction. Theres no excuse for it in my opinion😢 . Is there any chance of it being restored or is it still to unstable there. I hate to think of it being attacked again. We all forget we are living someones history.

Heart-heartbreaking

لن يستطيع الخونة ولا الأعداء ولا الظالمون ولا الحقدة والمتآمرون أن يخنقونا ويجعلوننا لانشم عبير الحياة
Woww !! Absolutely wonderful Palmyra !! Thank you so much share video, watching from Brasil !! Discovering channel now !!
Love, Peace and Happiness to all of us, we are all bleeding red.
Best wishes from Hamburg ☮️🕊️❤️
Love this comment so much Michael 🥰❤️
My lovely city I hope I will back someday😢
The tears came watching your visit to Palmyra. Having visited there in 2008 before the vandals came and destroyed it. They even blew up the funeral towers! I can't believe the destruction wrought by these fundamentalists!
But thank you so much for going there.
I’m glad we could share it 🙏🏼❤️
im happy you guys filmed that place so that the world could see what happened. what they did to that place was disgustingly horrible. the only reason why an army would want to destroy an ancient city is because the ones controlling them are trying to hide either some ancient technology or history from the people there.
Glad we could share it 🙏🏼❤️
I have no words, just intense sadness.
You and us both 💔
It’s just so sad to think of those precious older cities were completely destroyed by people. It’s hard to understand such destruction by other human beings. It’s truly sad. The people that live there have to live with that destruction every single day. I can’t imagine the feelings they have to deal with every day. I can’t think of the right words, just sadness. To think these cities have stood for hundreds of years and then in a vengeful act during war all of it is destroyed. Thanks for sharing with us. It does us good to remember how other people have to live. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
So glad it will be restored. History matters.
The reaction you had in the amphitheatre was the same reaction I had when I visited the Buddhas of Bamiyan in Afghanistan.
Now that, is something we want to see!! ❤️🙏🏼
I've been to Palmyra in early 90. Amaizing place. What happened is terrible disaster. No words. Together with my friend we had a very nice meeting with polish archeologists working there that time. Greetings from Poland. BTW we were students and we hitch hike that time ;)
Thank you is all i can say. I feel sad and priviledged that could watch your video of the devastation within Syria. A small glimpse of what never should have happened.
Such a waste for no reason😢
Literally, zero reason 😩
Devastating. And because it is all so recent one has to think too of the devastation of the ordinary lives of Syrian people. What a reminder of just how fragile the world is at our hands. By that I mean humanity at its most destructive. Thanks for the video. I watched the first reports of these events with whatever news could come out of Syria, but nothing brings home the scale of destruction like this. And the sheer bloody senselessness of it all.
As a Syrian i wish i was aborted
So glad you found it insightful Lindy 🙏🏼❤️
Too many Westerners on the comments cry about the loss of some archeological ruins in Syria but never cared about the 4.5 million people killed as a result of the wars launched by the United States and its allies since 2001
Im from syria Latakia, palmyra is super beautiful and i really wish i went there but even now i wouldnt go to palmyra as it can be a bit unsafe/ dangerous however it is extremely beautiful❤️
Glad we could share it with you, love to Latakia ❤️🙏🏼
My first visit and it will definitely remain the best for me❤
My dear poor country what did they do to you ? 💔
I wish to see this place in my life, but it makes me so sad to see what has happened to it :(
Just think of all the sites that would be historical that just disappeared before any recording happened
Thanks! It's another great video guys. It's just pathetic how insist literally destroyed history along with all the innocent lives. Stay safe always 🙏
Thank you so much Todd! Your ongoing support means the world ❤️
Although I perfectly understand wanting to restore and rebuild this city to its once former glory, I don't think they should for 2 main reasons:
A) Even if the city was perfectly restored to the way it was before it was destroyed, it just wouldn't be the same,
and B) I feel as though it would be like trying to hide the bruises and scars inflicted upon you from an abusive partner. (If you cover up the pain, you'll never be able to get help, heal, and move on with your life...)
Pain, unfortunately, is an essential part of life; it's a constant reminder that we are alive, but it's also a constant reminder of just how destructive we can be and that we should strive never to be like that!
Perhaps yes. In fact many parts of the city are beyond repair 😩
A loss to humanity to never be seen amore 😢 beyond weeping
Wow.. mixed feeling to see this. But the people is wonderful. Nice video & keep it up.
Thank you so much we will ❤️
I was there over 20 years ago. Its destruction was tragic. Are you going to Aleppo?
Wow, would have loved to have seen it before ❤️ We are yes 🙏🏼
@@MattandJulia I was visiting ICARDA, the International Centre for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas, and staying in Aleppo. ICARDA was near Aleppo but was forced by the war to relocate to Lebanon. I have fond memories of these places.
Heartbreaking, shocking, unimaginable are the epithets which come to mind. Loss and chaos created by a radicalized force. Contrary to the common belief, more often than not, ISIS recruits were educated and wealthy people, not people struck by poverty and uneducated. This makes this particular destruction of the site of humanity's great wealth somehow even more incomprehensible.
Amazing video, thanks. So sad isis destroyed this place, for what ?😢
Absolutely, for what! Human beings never cease to sink to new lows 🤔

My firend called Hasan syagha was one of the soldiers who excuted by isis on the roman theater
I remember when I heard that Isis did this, my heart was broken for myself and everyone else who would never see it.😢
It is a trade guy of epic proportions 💔
You look at the countries Middle East and the Mediterranean as they once were and see that they were the 'seat' of civilisation. Engineering, mathematics, architecture, astronomy, navigation, medicine etc, were all highly advanced for the time. When you look at them now and even without the effects of more modern warfare, you wonder what happened. The discontinuation of progress and they're demise seems to have started over a thousand years ago.
Too many fingers trying to get to the pie 💔
Love your videos and the far flung places you go whether for fun or for serious themes as this one. Look forward to your journeys around the world and with family and each other. Never been to Palmyra, heard lot about it, closest was down and back thru the Suez in navy days. Hope you make it to the US some day.😊
Is it possible to reconstruct anything? Some of the columns look tipped, not shattered. Of course, the country has no money for reconstruction.
Absolutely criminal
Stay Safe and keep a guide around you at all times!
We will do, thank you! ❤️

War...what is it good for? Absolutely nothing. The ruins are a shame. But the damage to people is far worse than that.
Matt and Julia, where are you from?
Heartbreaking 😪
Completely and utterly 💔😔
The old RUINS NEED to be demolished & developed
Excellent work u 2.
Islam has no respect for other faiths.
As a Syrian Christian, I tell you, we do not expect respect from them, we only demand life
The actions of these Neanderthals definitely doesn’t represent an entire religion 🙏🏼
@@MattandJulia With respect, I beg to differ. Islam is the only major religion that doesn't contemplate peaceful coexistence with nonbelievers. The Quran and especially the Hadith teach that there can only be peace on earth when Islam reigns supreme and all nonbelievers have been converted to Islam or killed. In other words, extermination of nonbelievers is the only way to achieve the Muslim notion of "peace."
@@MattandJuliaWhen your children, your friends, are killed while reciting verses from the Quran, you will understand what we mean
Hi guys! Much love to you both! It just breaks my heart about how this crazed barbarism of this kind of mentality that Isis has! Peace to you Syrian people! How can anyone who is of a normal mind do such things! I just don’t understand why anyone would want to destroy their beautiful history!
I am so glad l got to see Palmyra before Isis ran amok there. Are there any tower tombs left standing?
So sad . Really sad . Why people do that to other people . 😢😢😢
Absolutely barbaric 💔
О, я там службу проходил. Находили видеозаписи с казнями. Что ИГИЛ, что «умеренная оппозиция», поддерживаемая США - одни и те же люди. Чтобы слишком не палиться, каждые пару месяцев меняли название, сначала было что-то типа «Джабхат Аль Нусра», через полгода еще как-то. Командиры одни и те же. И базы США всегда поблизости были, буквально соседние населенные пункты, но ни разу не видел, чтобы армия США воевала с ними. А вот как прикрытие боевиков они частенько выступали.

Another exemple showing how Ignorance is one of the biggest root of Evil.
Ignorant people destroyed this, because they believed there can only be one Truth, that is theirs and that all signs of any other way must be erased.
You my friends, by doing what you do are actively fighting Ignorance by showing us People all this and all of your videos are source of Knowledge and Understanding.

A crime on the culture of humanity!!
When war started I was so sick hearing about the destruction, then shaken by what people went through... Now with it happening all again in Ukraine there is just no more heart to break. Thank you for showing me what remains. I long to touch the stones, to feel the makers, to feel the stories they hold but would probably just sit and cry. Thank you for being more mature than I.
ISIS is creation of Israel with funding from United States of America. The mission of ISIS was two part. First, in Iraq to punish the iraqi government for NOT giving the rebuilding contracts to US and British companies but instead the contracts were awarded to china and Brazil and a few other countries but most China outbid all other companies. Second part for the work of ISIS was remove the Syrian government under Bashar al Assad and install a puppet government that would turn Syria into another iraq with destruction of everything. Destruction of major historic sites such as Palmyra was intention by Israel because Syria is a major competitor for Israel as to religious and historic sites tourism. Israel took the opportunity to destroy not only major infrastructure of the country but also its historic sites and killed people who knew this history such as the man mentioned 8n this video in order to completely wipe out the place and to deviate all tourism dollars towards Israel. Let's not forget that each one of these countries in this region is a major historical attraction site that brings millions of tourists and billions of tourism dollars
Thank you Cheryl, really appreciate your support ❤️🙏🏼
Could this have been prevented? I don't know. But perhaps we can prevent it happening again, elsewhere. Then again, maybe it's just an old man's dream.😢 Thank you for bringing this to us. Take care, be safe.❤
Thank you so much 🙏🏼❤️
I'm fr9m Homs but lived in Palmyra for 3 years. İ was there when isis killed people and left them in the streets for days for people to see. They were only teenages, 17 and 18 years old.
В соседнем доме у нас живут беженцы из Сирии. Две семьи с детьми. Их женщины подтверждают ваши слова. Казнили публично ,и оставляли тела на улице. Ужас.
