Great to see you again! Love your videos man. These unknown places, or should I say, rarely visited places are very interesting to me. Thank you for your wonderful videos!
I nominate this as "most entertaining" because of the wild mix of stones and different construction. The lower engraved strip under the "roll" at the end must be highly datable. Doesn't look like plain old "Greek Keys," but maybe just fractured. Fascinating!
At minute 6:38.. the black block with grooves is a dressing stone for smoothing out and flattening surfaces and also doubles as dressing stone for doing the 90 degree edges..Sand would be thrown on surface to be worked or mixed with oils to make it stick to surface to be worked..
Nice videowork, thanks. As usual, the older original poligonal walls, after losing their tops, are used by other generations to build upon. It seems to me some three separate building times are to be seen here. The block which Debora told you about, had a high quality finish and looked like basaltic on the screen, the most important detail should have been the inner corner to see the kind of tools they had..but you didn't show it or missed it.. Huge area anyway.
And what is going on at 7:25, with the almost "piled-up rubble" wall above a run of neatly squared and leveled construction? The "rubble" might have been sloppy shoring up of a very ancient worn megalithic structure, which raises the issue of very ancient climate: the famous (or notorious) "when was there that much rain?" question.
What fascinating me is the consistency of the megalithic sites globally. Many of these sites exhibit evidence of phased construction characterized by giant interlocking polygonal blocks followed by lesser sophisticated work. Peruvian sites such as Cuzco and Ollantaytambo provide compelling examples. In these locations, the architectural prowess of the pre-Incan civilization surpasses that of the Inca and the much later Spanish constructions.
Ancient Aliens often references that we don't have machines capable today. But the weird thing is, whoever it was didn't care about pre-fitting or squaring or measuring. It's like, just bring it on down, we'll conform it on the spot.
I think the word you were looking for on the terrace with the columns was "stoa," Greek for Latin "portico." If this was a Hera site, presumably "stoa."
The 2 blocks with half a T next to each other would make a single T if one of the blocks was rotated 90 degree’s . The one odd looking block that was pointed out by your wife or lady friend . There is a block directly under the odd colored block that was carved to interlock to the one next to it .
Dear Mirko: I went to your website, and would be very interested in your "Pedagogia" content, but it doesn't seem to translate into English ? There was a tab at the bottom. Is there a "hack" for this that I am just not enough in the 21'st Century to know?
Hi, Well, I have been producing research, commentaries, articles, videos, etc. in 3 different languages (Italian, my mother tongue, German, and English) and not everything I've produced I have done it in the 3 languages. Mainly, I'm working as a sciences teacher in some Waldorf schools and I've done much pedagogical research in the teaching of the sciences, and then published that work in Italian, as that's the language of the area where I live, and anyway my main working environment is southern Switzerland and Italy. You may try some automatic google translation service, maybe it can translate part of the content, but I haven't done it in English, sorry about that (p.s. the languages tab at the bottom is a bug I have to fix, thanks for reminding me about it). Anyway, you can find some of my research into other fields (forgotten scientists, alternative science) in English on my main YT channel searching my name. It's a bit of a mess, as there's content both in English as well as Italian (the reason why I started this new channel, only archaeology, only English), but you can sort it out. Cheers
What you’re seeing is limestone and sandstone concrete which today is called geopolymer. Romans did not invent concrete. This could only be cast in place and not cut/dragged. Also the white spots are lime seeping back out.
19:12 I find it really annoying that the previous generations of archaeologists, the fathers of archaeology, consistently engaged in this practice. Essentially they removed all the stones that still held a recognisable intended shape and put them aside, then treated (or perhaps, rendered) everything else as useless rubble essentially disturbing the site and ruining it forever for future archaeologists. I mean even now, with the modest technological means we possess, but especially in the future, when the powers of computing will be dwarfing today's, we should be able to have models of the effects of destruction exacted on these constructions, whether manmade or natural, and thus be able, to a degree, to reverse the destruction process via simulation and get a better idea of what stood there once before it was brought down.
Yes, thank you, I saw it in the footage only later. While filming and staring in a 1-inch display the glare of the sun is often very strong and you might miss some details.
Awesome clear relaxed videos without the upclose cameraphone face shots A video named Symbols of an Alien Sky kinda gives a good reason for the building of a lot of temples to the gods and hey no one today would take on a 500 year project like the Temple of Mars because they went out and saw a red pin prick of a star, no way, so the a@17:27 maybe the slab needs to go a quarter turn conterclockwise , it looks like the t locks would matchup possibly and the erosion plus those t locks are very old if im not mistaken , like 4-6 k years ago stuff, thanks and beautiful videos ,...
So this is what a site looks like when it hasn't been maintained for thousands of years. Oh right, the indo-europeans killed all the original builders, no one knew how to fix it.
Thanks for sharing these places with us.
Wow!!!! Just wow... 👍 👌

Welcome back!
i really enjoy your videos, thank you so much

The dove carvings at 6:50 are interesting
Definitely, I only saw them later while doing the editing!
At minute 6:38.. the black block with grooves is a dressing stone for smoothing out and flattening surfaces and also doubles as dressing stone for doing the 90 degree edges..Sand would be thrown on surface to be worked or mixed with oils to make it stick to surface to be worked..
Its a big leveled site its must have been spectacular
I love your coverage of the Danaus and Aegyptus period constructions.
Nice videowork, thanks.

Re: separate eras of construction: totally agree, but where's the Catholic Church on top? :):)
Joking aside, the wall at five minutes really looks like "historic" (?) era construction on top of "prehistoric" megaliths.
And what is going on at 7:25, with the almost "piled-up rubble" wall above a run of neatly squared and leveled construction? The "rubble" might have been sloppy shoring up of a very ancient worn megalithic structure, which raises the issue of very ancient climate: the famous (or notorious) "when was there that much rain?" question.
Can this metal T joint be carbon dated?

Metal clamps all over the world. One source culture.
Also the black ones look like basalt :)
i thought this too, and i´m quite sure about it!
i have seen a lot but this place is stunning!
And that's just the beginning!!! Bear with us along this series of videos, I was stunned myself when I discovered these places!!
It looked as if the third level platform and wall were ready to be cut / ground to level and to shape.
This place is amazing! Polygonal blocks everywhere. Nubs also! Which to me is a unknown language like a visual braille.
Here we go....
I think the word you were looking for on the terrace with the columns was "stoa," Greek for Latin "portico." If this was a Hera site, presumably "stoa."
Do you think that the builders quarried the limestone or were they actually making it? Something artificial about it, to my eye.
Love your channel
most of them obviously have been made artificially, like molding, pouring etc.
Same style as Norba with exeption of flatened alsurfaces
The 2 blocks with half a T next to each other would make a single T if one of the blocks was rotated 90 degree’s . The one odd looking block that was pointed out by your wife or lady friend . There is a block directly under the odd colored block that was carved to interlock to the one next to it .

Pigeons on the rock near the iron retainer I piece you didn't see them when seeing the iron retainer nor on the way back.

Sites like these prove the we know nothing of our past. Archeologists today are nothing but liars!
a modified natural feature which could have been done by anyone at anytime.
@@survivortechharold6575 it must suck to know everything
smoking gun
So this is what a site looks like when it hasn't been maintained for thousands of years.
Oh right, the indo-europeans killed all the original builders, no one knew how to fix it.
