I have been living in Rome for 67 years, now, and in looking at these photographs and observing how the ancient and more modern monuments were scattered through the city, through the space that was inhabited by the people, I have started to think how deeply melancholic and nostalgic this city can be, despite the magnificent appearance. Because It constantly makes you think of bygone times
Sure, here is the information about the Italian invasion of Libya in short: * Italy invaded Libya in 1911 for economic and strategic reasons. * The war lasted for two years and resulted in the deaths of about 80,000 to 100,000 Libyans and 5,000 Italians. * The Italians used brutal methods to suppress the Libyan resistance, including aerial bombardment, concentration camps, and public executions. * The war left a legacy of bitterness and resentment that continues to this day. Here are some key points: * The Italian invasion of Libya was a major turning point in Italian history. * The war marked the beginning of Italy's colonial rule in Libya, which lasted until 1943. * The war also left a legacy of bitterness and resentment that continues to this day. We will take revenge from you Italy one day. Keep It in mind. You treated very dirt way immigrants and some weeks ago more than 700 people were killed in a way of Italy. Your country don't help them
I don't know how to thank you enough. These images are moving...I feel something. I could almost cry, what I feel is a sense of loss...we've lost so much. And the lies...we've been lied to about *everything.* Thanks to you others who are dedicated to finding answers, the truth is emerging and the lies are being exposed. Thank you, so very much 🌹
Me, too, Miapdx503! I hate that they lied to us. _About everything,_ apparently! It's like this HUGE betrayal somehow. My family says, "What do you care?" and I say, "Why _don't_ you???" Everyone just shrugs. _But I feel cheated._ (And kinda' stupid and gullible too!)
As Italian from Venice , I am astonished by This unknown serial of pictures. Thanks to You for the discovery of Mr.Altobelli Memories . It's a truly time journey
Thanks so much for the cool tour, Jarid! Very interesting. Some pictures were missing descriptions, and being the curious sort, I did some looking online. I thought I'd pass along this info to anyone also interested. (For the sites I could identify, that is.) 1:01 - Ruins of the Roman Forum, ancient marketplace and plaza. 5:32 - Arcus Argentariorum, "Arch of the Moneychangers". 6:17 - Temple of Minerva Medica. A nymphaeum (a monument consecrated to the nymphs). 6:33 - Basilica of Maxentius and Constantine. 6:54 - Forum of Emperor Nerva, "Le Colonnacce" (the colonnade). 7:26 - Inside the Roman Colliseum. (I think everyone figured that out, though. lol!) 7:53 - Papal Basilica of Saint Lawrence outside the Walls. 8:14 - Rome City Hall. 8:36 - Trajan's Forum. 9:17 - "Easter Mass at St. Peter's Square, Rome, presided by Pope Pius IX." 9:47 - "The Porta Maggiore ("Larger Gate"), or Porta Prenestina, is one of the eastern gates in the ancient but well-preserved 3rd-century Aurelian Walls of Rome." 10:26 - "Porta San Giovanni is a gate in the Aurelian Wall of Rome, Italy, named after the nearby Archbasilica of Saint John Lateran." 11:00 and 20:35 - Temple of Antoninus and Faustina. According to Wikipedia, originally constructed as a temple to Antoninus Pius and his wife Faustina, converted to a Christian church in the middle ages. 11:19 - Pope Pius IX inaugurates the Magliana railway bridge. 17:24 - Probably the Temple of Hercules Victor. Although this picture is labeled as the Temple of Vesta, according to Wikipedia, the temple of Vesta was demolished in 1549 and its stone used to build churches and papal palaces. In Wikipedia, this structure looks most likely to be the Temple of Hercules Victor. (I could be wrong, though.)
You're not wrong about the last one :) This temple is the most ancient still standing roman building. You can get an idea of its age by noticing how the circular sloped roof sits right on top of the columns with no stone lintel used in many other temples. This means that the original lintel was made of timber and is lost in time due to its perishability. The most ancient roman buildings are documented using timber lintels to host the roofs.
Благодаря за възможността да видя тези прекрасни снимки, представящи ни Рим преди повече от век и половина. Те са безценно богатство. Поздрави от България.
The quality of these photographs is outstanding, very well composed and many are very sharp, a testament to the quality of the cameras, the lenses and of course, the photographers.
Thank you for compiling this & thanks to Mr Altobelli for taking these pictures! Imagine doing something that 1 1/2 centuries later people still appreciate!!🤩
The shades of grays captured the city Rome especially the vestiges of the Roman architecture with a sense of nostalgia. Fortunately most of these archeological sites have been saved and restored. The beautiful Roma, Italia 🇮🇹
These pictures are incredible. It is so interesting to see pictures of the Tiber river before the walls were built in the late 1800s to prevent the constant flooding of the city
When these photographs were taken, the sounds of Rome, the horses, the wind and the birds in the trees was closer to the atmosphere Caesar was accustomed to. In the 1870's the car was not invented yet. So the ancient world, Unbeknownst to the 19th century person, was still clinging in there. So the photo's may well be very similar to our time but the atmosphere, for the guy walking about the place in the 1870's was closer to that of ancient Rome than it is to our loud, mechanical and noisy 21st Century.
Yes but in these photos there is an important difference compared to ancient times, in the 19th century Rome had only 200,000 inhabitants, while at the time of the empire there were a million... in the Middle Ages Rome became just the capital of a little State in central Italy, ruled by the Pope, and the city had emptied because it was no longer the capital of a large empire, even in these photos you can see large spaces with few people... it must have been very fascinating, the large spaces and the large monuments of an ancient imperial capital could be contemplated by a few lucky people... today it is no longer like that, since in 1871 Rome became the capital of a larger state (reunified Italy) and it has filled up with many inhabitants again... and today the mass tourism has worsened this situation.
Congrats to you Jarid! I have been watching your videos from the beginning and never have much of a commenter The two reasons why I’m writing this today is, I’m inspired by you pushing through and seeing what you have done and getting rewarded for your efforts with hitting 80k The second reason is, those pictures are just incredible, great job in research The colosseum night picture really stands out and the heights of the pillars are incredible! This video, really solidified the idea that something happened, it seems when we are in the USA and see videos of the monstrous build and dirt roads, don’t make any sense, but seeing Rome still in ruins and the people on horseback seems to hit home even stronger that there’s no way we built this. Also Romanesque architecture is worldwide doesn’t make sense either Thanks and congrats 🎉
The wonderful incongruity of large colomns and archways, with little horse drawn carriages and tiny people on dirt roads. Stunning presentation, as usual~ lovely
Thanks for pulling this together. Rome feels like a huge trove of buried history just waiting for explorers in this circle to start exploring. The stories they fabricate... While on a tour, they claim that the pantheon was originally supposed to be twice the size that it is, but the original larger columns capsized the transport barges in route from Egypt. Can you just imagine an unreinforced concrete dome twice that size?!?!
Moronalierus was the obvious end result of a mass population of screen starers who are easily swayed and manipulated with the wind. No real internal moral compass to speak of. Most await buzzwords and trigger phrases from their "leaders" to enact their fake moral superiority in order to gain a sense of meaning. Minds are quickly being degenerated, social media screen starers disconnected from reality with nothing real going on internally cling to political causes and slogans. the virus is their wet dream and meaning making apparatus, reality in its own twisted projection of their mind finally makes sense and they have their "cause of a generation..that they "lived through" and "overcame". Children needing a nipple to suck on to make them safe from the "boogeyman". dissenters and halfway free thinkers must be destroyed as they are reminders of the empty shell or husk of a "human" that now operates in the world simply by mechanics- mechanical action after mechanical action all the while running on stress chemicals swearing to God or whoever that they are in the "right", and will save the world. Never once looking inward to wonder if maybe they are being had or might have it totally backwards. Total Indoctrination. The root of all evil is reproduction. If no more fresh food(children) is brought into this 'heaven' and given over to the beast, the beast would starve to death. Don't bring into this reality more future: communists, satanists, terrorists prancing around in the idiotbox/telievision in suits/ties and white coats and other childish/ridiculous uniforms, torturers, mercenaries, hitmen/hitwomen, bolsheviks, leninists, stalinists, maoists, nazis, marxists, BLMs, antifas etc.etc.(i.e. the ‘nice’ people of society). No, you will not be able to influence your children, the beast is indoctrinating/brainwashing them 24/7/365. Your 5 minutes per day non-sensical useless interaction with them will not counteract the beast's 24/7/365 influence.
@@jamessones4044 Speaking of the columns, I think they were referring to the height of the pediment, which I am sure is lower than the original design for the same reason you said. However, I think the same type of dome could not have been so double the size. But the original height of the Pantheon was quite impressive, but unfortunately the ground level now reaches the base of the columns.

Thank you for such an amazing job and make me dream a little bit. I am from Rome, crazy for my city. Some of those pictures are really unbelievable. That big round clock on the facade of Castel Sant'Angelo (or former Mausoleum of Hadrian) is something that only very old Romans could watch in person when they were young children. At 5:38 you have the Arch of the Argentari (people who worked with silver and similar metals), incredibly opened. I have always seen that passage closed in my life. At the right, the iron fence you can spot is the portico of San Giorgio al Velabro church, one of my favorite church in Rome for multiple reasons and the lowest church (in terms of altitude) in all the city. Some of the fountains you can see have been moved to other part of the city, while others have just been removed. You can see the main San Lorenzo cathedral before the bombing of the II World War. At 10:40, that piece of Roman walls between Piramide Cestia and Porta San Paolo is no longer there, it was bombed during the war, incredibly missing the two monuments at sides. So now there is a car passage to go through. The Arch of Druso (so called, because the real Arch of Druso was built a bit further out on the Appia street, but nobody has never seen it - that one in the picture was just a part of the Antoninian acqueduct which brought water to the Caracalla Baths) at 11:55 was not buried since there has always been a street there (old via Appia, towards Capua city) since the Republic time which passed exactly under it. Of course that old via Appia is still there, I use it almost every week, and remained in use all the time. At 13:00 in front of Colosseum you can see the old Meta Sudans (sweating stone in Latin) fountain shaped as a big round stone, a very old one. Unfortunately it was finally demolished during Fascism times. The garden you can see behing the Piramide Cestia al 14:10 is the English cemetery (or not Catholic cemetery, much correctly), a lovely place to visit now. It is very likely, but just a speculation from me, that one of those men you can see close to archeological sites in the Roman Forum was the famous Rodolfo Amedeo Lanciani, one of the fathers of archeology who has also worked during the transition between the Papal State and Rome as part of the new Italian State. I really suggest to read one of his masterpiece, The Destruction of Ancient Rome, written 120 years ago but still counting. The round temple you can see at 17:25, behind the fountain, it is not the Temple of Vesta. That was believed since few decades ago, because of its round shape. The Temple of Vesta in now precisely located inside the old Roman Forum, which is also very logical bcause of the meaning it used to have, they discovered its substructures. The round Temple you can see there is the Temple of Ercole Vincitore (Hercules the Winner) who was the patron of horse jokey in the race inside Circus Maximus, which is, in fact, located right behind the camera standpoint. That Temple is also the oldest marble temple stll raised nowadays, although the roof you can see was rebuilt in the Middle Ages. That pillars at 20:35 are a portion of the big Portico di Ottavia (Ottavia's Porch), and the small church behind is Sant'Angelo in Peschiera, called in this way because in that area there was the first and oldest fish market of Rome ("Pescheria" means fish shop), and in fact is located very close to the river for trading and logistics purpose. That fish market, which is now inside the Jewish quarter, lasted and worked for more than two thousands of years. But those pillars were never buried, as written, only the very lower part of them - they always remained at light. Thank you again, mate.
Thank you for share those precious historic photos. It shows those great civilizations were there previously and destroyed or abandoned and then some Rich and poor people start to move there once they discovered them and start to rebuild those historic cities.
No hay palabras para mensurar la importancia de este documental Extraordinario !! Nos emociona, nos sumerge en el pasado, nos muestra los cambios. GRACIAS
Very interesting Jarid. Probably you know but there are some interesting engravings done in the mid 18th Century (around 1750) very accurately done, that show the Ancient Roman ruins in great detail with a lot of overgrown vegetation on them. The artist is called Piranesi.
These accurate engraving were probably done with a "Camera Obscura" the earliest camera that the artist would sketch the projected image that would come into a dark room or large box thru a small hole (aperture) were the only light came in, projecting an image. The artist would be able to make a very accurate true life sketch. All these images were 'Wet Plate Collodion " (Daguerreotype, Tintype were on silver plates; Ambrotype was on glass that meant it was a negative you could print from. Dry Plate was invented in 1871). Wet Plate meant the photographer had to prepare his plate emulsion (salted collodion) and silver nitrate (protecting from light), then exposing the plate in camera by taking the lens cap off and mentally timing the exposure, re-capping and removing the plate and developing it before it started to dry. That's why you'll notice differences in details, as some are higher exposed and others lower. Where there any people, they needed to pose still. From CANADA
Wow!! I just took my first trip to Rome 10 months ago and was able to visit MANY of these places in these pictures and to see how they looked 150 years ago as compared to now is just incredible. I found Rome to be fascinating. St. Peter's Basilica is the most AWE INSPIRING structure I've ever walked into in my life. My entire 6 days there walking, touring, sight seeing, just taking in the history and architecture.... WOW! Great pics and video!
The city looks so different nowadays because 150 years ago many of the buildings were still fairly new or even erected shortly beforehand. The Pantheon for example was originally a Christian Church, built only a few centuries ago.
Hey Jomama. You're so correct. It made me realize that I have no photographs of the house and neighborhood I grew up in San Antonio Texas. My whole neighborhood was razed in 1972 under the old Urban Renewal Program. Ultimate insult replaced by warehouses. I'm an old geezer now and many times I reminisce about my childhood home and neighborhood and have no photographs. So sad.
I would love to see current pictures taken now at the same angles so you could compare what has changed. I really enjoyed being there and it was amazing to see the coliseum with the floor in place.
I was stationed in Italy while in the Military. What a Beautiful place and all that Culture. So sad that most of these treasures were lost and can never be replaced. In the middle east especially the destruction was almost complete

The truly most amazing photo i've ever saw was that of the colosseum, it was taken from above but at a slight angle at a certain time of the day when the Sun cast light shadows, it becomes a realistic looking eye and i do mean realistic, thats its true hidden secret. I was searching Images for ancient monuments about 15 years ago, as i scrolled down i saw a picture of an eye amongst ancient monuments i thought it was odd having that picture, so i looked closer and it was the colosseum. Who really built it and why can its real purpose only be seen from above.
@@dwaynedalton7610 Thats a very difficult question to answer but i would guess maybe 1 hour after sunrise, i don't know what what day or month of the year it was so can't give an accurate time.
Some sort of water equilibrium and delivery system? That was the conduit and energy itself when things ran correctly for a thousand years. Wars, torture, famine, plagues, cruelty, ignorance, Darkness, is the crap we've been fed. Christians were not fed to Lions... "Renaissance" means "Reign of the Saints" No one has ever dug up a corpse from underneath the Colosseum. "Rome wasn't built in a day, neither was Syracuse." Moe Howard
@@timothydillow3160 Nero's unbelievable cruelty towards early Christians has been thoroughly documented. The Colosseum is a hideous place. Countless humans and animals were slaughtered for the masturbatory delight of the idiot Roman masses.
Impressive, very impressive. Never knew till now that some of these landmarks and monuments were below ground. I am italian, been to Italy many times, my mother was born there. How different it was compared to now. It's a highly populated city, airports and high volume tourism. Thank you for sharing.these magnificent fotos , it meant a lot to me. Your little pet lizard is so cute 😍. Take good care of him !🤗🤗🤗
Good idea. I guess another 150 years and most of the buildings would be largely gone if not for intensive preservation activities. No building lasts longer than 400-500 years before it completely crumbles. See the Egyptian pyramids which were erected in the 13th/14th century or later. They only still exist because they are so huge and solid.
@@nicknewman7848 By no means is this building that old. Maybe it was build in the 18th century, but I would rather estimate that it was constructed in the 19th century. It exhibits some resemblence to the dome of Cologne which was erected from 1826-1839 for the most part.
Jarid Boosters. I am not sure if I ever posted on any of your videos but will now. I really really enjoy ALL of your research and finding these great photos and sharing them ♥️ The history and imagining getting to take some of the first photos and recording history so they could be shared with the world. I remember being in fourth grade and our teacher had a picture (from life magazine maybe?) Of the Sphinx. One of the first taken I supposed because it was still very covered with sand and men and a few camels way high up on the sand. I knew it was a picture of the Sphinx of course but I was fascinated by it. I like your sharing these photos and I love b&w pictures. My great grandfather was a photographer around or before the early 1900s he was from South America. I never met him or saw many of his photos but I really enjoy seeing these. My great grand father would also be one of these early photographers. So cool. Thank you so much.
I like the history of times that were reset and trying to comprehend where all the knowledge of the skill to build such cities of artwork to be proud of there is a lot to be learned yet of all our past that just gets pushed a side , I am buying a place in Italy for retirement and to explore its beauty and a time that we should all learn from. be safe and liked the video
I am 70 years old, a born and bred Londoner, in April i went to Rome for the very first time, and i loved it, but i must admit to becoming emotional visiting these places that i had heard about, for most of my life. These pictures are wonderful.
@@giangra92 This was our first visit to Italy and Roma, and we did love it, we went for four days, and one of them we spent in Pompeii, both places were equally beautiful, we took the Train from Roma to Napoli, a lovely fast Train, and then another, local, train to Pompeii. The countryside we travelled through was beautiful too, but as an old boy, money is tight, but i will definitely be trying to save enough to go back to to Roma and Pompeii. Is it silly to say i felt so at home?, because i did. I just wish i were a young man again, i would spend so much time in Italy. But i am sorry to disappoint you, we shamefully did have Cappuccino after Mid-day, i will try not to make the same mistake again, in Bella Italia.
How much development has taken place between then and now. In 2023, very little of these areas looks anything like these images. Time has changed the face of Rome nearly beyond recognition.
Thank you Jarid , My great Grandpas and Grandmas are from Italy and Sicily so they have been all over this area , it sure looks Mud flooded to me , Looks like it was under Muddy Water for quite awhile and had things built for 12 to 18 foot folks . I would have been all over it with a shovel looking for Loot , and Marveling at the Architecture :) QC
So glad he did this, I wish I had taken more pictures growing up. I was young and naive, thinking things would always be where they were and never be torn down. Boy was I wrong. The places that have fallen and been rebuilt is unbelievable to me. It breaks my heart to see the charm stripped away from the special places where I have lived over my lifetime. Today, I saw a 2 story library I used to sit at a table on the 2nd floor and draw for hours in the peace and quiet of that library growing up. It hurts deep to see it being demolished in the name of progress. Once they are gone, they cannot be put back. The memories are just that now. It really stinks. I don't want to live in Anywhere, USA.
In Italy we use to preserve buildings instead of building new ones, this is why our country is so interesting ❤ I hate when I watch to erase the past. Historia magistra vitae!
Jarid, I'm from South Africa and I started watching your clips more and more. I have what might be a stupid question but, have you noticed that a lot of the star forts were built in the shape of animals? It's interesting. I saw Fort George in Scotland is in the shape of a dragon's head.
@@ET-sp6qm I saw a clip where someone pointed out the Fort George one and i use that as the example because it's the clearest one to me. Then, on google earth you can see those shapes on most of europe's forts. Not only animals but some "esoteric" type shapes.

@@man08839 how do you think to take revenge? Killing a population who with millions of immigrants who know nothing about it? Poor stupid, if you can’t get the revenge in the same moment things happened, there’s no revenge. Italy helps a lot Africans from decades, you just talk like a ignorant. Even Italians where killed at those times by nations who are now totally cooperating each others. You miss a lot of informations in between!!!!
I wish that the name of every building, fountain, arch etc. photgraphed in this amazing video, had been written above the photo, just to Google the present day image. Also placing a photo of how everything appears today would have been fantastic. A Rome (1841 - 1871) which still had a rural aspect about it. Rather touching photos...vegetable plots, donkeys and carts near the monuments - AND no car pollution.
Thank you for showing how Roma was because this is the birth place of my mother and uncle. As a child I visited our grandparents with my mother and two brothers this was in the mid 1950s before we moved to Australia. 🎉🎉🎉
When most of these pictures were taken: No electricity. No cars. No buses. No airplanes. Very few trains. No telephones. No communication whatsoever other than letters or in-person. No modern medicine of any kind. Horse poop everywhere. 99.9 percent of people never traveled beyond their birthplace. This is as close a view as we can get to visual time travel. One generation later, Italy and the world changed more than in the previous two thousand years. Thanks for posting.
being an Italian I walked through Rome and other places in Italy... by seeing this pictures i realize today how often I may be so accustomed to ancient ruins and not notice the various "minor" remaining that surround me... this picture gave me a deeper impression on some of the things I saw in person in this modern and caotic world
I have just returned from my third visit to Rome, my absolute favorite city in the world. This video of the photographs is quite remarkable, thank you for posting.
Seeing the streetlight by the arch around the 19-20 min mark really raises eyebrows, like theres no way they were building structures like that and were just using candles and fire for lighting
A fantastic collection! The population in Rome was possibly around 100-200,000 in 1850. I was looking at the forum area in some pic's around the1880s and they were doing excavation of dirt all around the place. There are photo quality artists drawings (what they used before Photography) It seems that most of the Forum area was covered or buried with dirt. Been there a few times and just love the place. The Roman Forum actually had a street winding through it in a big oval circle, Lol, and a few places were refurbished and a few are gone now .
How strange to have been living in Rome in the 1800s, with these ancient and superior structures all around your simple one-storey huts and houses. The locals even lacking the resources to preserve such towering architecture. They must have looked on with humbling bemusement.
Take a look to the first photos ever taken of India. Beside 700 years of muslim colonialism it was a beautifull place, much more clean than Rome. Then british came, and India became the dirty place we all know. While India, Bhārata, produces art, music, architecture and the most deep culture of the world, in Italia there were still men with clubs who communicated with gestures.
These photographs suggest a great event sometime before 1860. Many of the ruins had at least 5-10 year of vegetation growth on them. The areas looked vacant except the piazza. And then, piazza had a disorderly look to the occupants like they had just shown up. The architecture is similar to other places around the entire earth. Does this suggest a people - preTartian - were the builders?
I paused the video to read your excellent comment. Nothing of mainstream academia makes sense when it comes to our history. I am convinced those buildings are the remnants of a cataclysmic event consistent throughout the world. Europe might have been the epicentre of that magnificent civilisation. A growing number of people are beginning to believe that the 1000 year reign of Christ Jesus on Earth ended at that cataclysmic event and we are now living in the "short season" wherein lucıfer was released on Earth. I am Italian and I have no reservations saying that those people we see in the photos and the generations before them, had nothing to do with the construction of those divine structures.
Think about how big of a catastrophic event, or events in the past were, to bring huge, awesome civilizations to a standstill… A bit spooky, and I hope Jason, from Archaix, is wrong, but the more I look into the dudes information, I’m pretty sure he’s onto something, the “Phoenix Phenomenon”. P.S.: Thank you for the video sir. And sitting down after work and watching this, along with the soothing music that you provide, is extremely relaxing.
Martin too would like to see these too - many people interested in old photos like myself are very pleased to see these for the first time - just subscribed with thanks to our host
These were already ancient ruins in 1840 going back over a thousand years. The nature and scope of the buildings and their design was so far ahead of the rest of the world. Modern cities didn’t catch up to the sophistication of early Roman construction techniques until the turn of the century. Imagine that in 1840 American Indians were still living as nomads out of Teepees. These fabulous buildings were ruins at that same time. They had aquaducts to bring fresh water into the city and complex sewer systems along with water piped into homes. Also giant sports complexes and thousands of miles of paved roads. Amazing.
Thank you for posting these exquisite photographs! I wonder if those in the pictures knew what a grand place they were in, at least the photographer knew! I am so fascinated by Roman architecture and history, I loved this video.😊
👋Hi there Jarid, I'm a new subscriber here, I have to say WOW! As soon as I found your channel & started watching your videos, I was seriously hooked. My family are equally hooked. Your content is just amazing, so interesting, so informative/educative, so wonderful & so evocative & moving. I love listening to your narrative & always find it so compelling & interesting. This one regarding amazing & beautiful Rome, is of no exception. A city so full of incredible architecture, such rich & diverse history & such wonderful & vibrant culture. I love the music that you play throughout your videos. Just wonderful & so evocative, which adds warmth/depth & really "adds" to your video style & narrative. For me, as someone with some Italian/Roman ancestry, I feel that I'm potentially looking into the faces of some of my early ancestors & however crazy this may sound, it may well be true. And this also applies, to anyone with known Italian/Roman ancestry. The history is so amazing & I think the architecture back then, sure beats todays buildings by & large. It's interesting to note, that unlike many global cities, Rome has managed to maintain it's historical architecture, for the most part & when you walk around, it really is just like stepping back in time. It's akin to taking a stroll through your favourite candy store. There's so much on offer & there are always new & wonderful surprises in store around every corner. It's great that this city has remained widely untouched & how wonderful for todays generation of Italians & global citizens, otherwise such history & beauty would never have been visually witnessed & appreciated. I really appreciate your interest in history, your keen historical eye & I wish to say Thank you, for your research/hard work & for bringing us such wonderful & interesting content. Regards from Tasmania, Australia.
I dont know why but I always get sad when I see people standing in front of these massive structures back Almost 200 years ago. I cant help but wonder what these peoples lives were like, All the Laughs, Dates, Dances, First Kisses, Christmas days, Holidays, Birthdays, Family members, Just gone and forgotten just like that. I bet some of these peoples graves dont even exist to this day. Just a soul forgotten and now a mere blemish on a old photo Wondering if eventually we all will meet the same fate.
We are all just passing through. This life is a temporary state. We are all spiritual beings incarnate into a flesh body. Seek Jesus is all I can tell people.
Interesting to think my great-great-grandparents were around at that time as my ancestry is from a little mountain-top village about 100 miles / 160km south-east of Rome. Who knows… they quite possibly visited Rome during the 1841-1871 time period these photos were taken.
where are all the people? all these buildings and many looking very rundown, but no repairs? scaffolding? maintenance? was there a time in history where Rome was uninhabited?
These photos are our earliest possible window to the past. After millenia of history this is Rome exiting from the shadows of the past and entering into the modern era.
At 10:48 the pyramid picture did anyone else notice the top of it. It has to made of a different material for the vines not to grow on it. Maybe a quartz crystal?
I have been living in Rome for 67 years, now, and in looking at these photographs and observing how the ancient and more modern monuments were scattered through the city, through the space that was inhabited by the people, I have started to think how deeply melancholic and nostalgic this city can be, despite the magnificent appearance. Because It constantly makes you think of bygone times
Thank you for sharing your insights of Italy.
Sure, here is the information about the Italian invasion of Libya in short:
* Italy invaded Libya in 1911 for economic and strategic reasons.
* The war lasted for two years and resulted in the deaths of about 80,000 to 100,000 Libyans and 5,000 Italians.
* The Italians used brutal methods to suppress the Libyan resistance, including aerial bombardment, concentration camps, and public executions.
* The war left a legacy of bitterness and resentment that continues to this day.
Here are some key points:
* The Italian invasion of Libya was a major turning point in Italian history.
* The war marked the beginning of Italy's colonial rule in Libya, which lasted until 1943.
* The war also left a legacy of bitterness and resentment that continues to this day.
We will take revenge from you Italy one day. Keep It in mind. You treated very dirt way immigrants and some weeks ago more than 700 people were killed in a way of Italy. Your country don't help them

I don't know how to thank you enough. These images are moving...I feel something. I could almost cry, what I feel is a sense of loss...we've lost so much. And the lies...we've been lied to about *everything.* Thanks to you others who are dedicated to finding answers, the truth is emerging and the lies are being exposed. Thank you, so very much 🌹
Me, too, Miapdx503! I hate that they lied to us. _About everything,_ apparently! It's like this HUGE betrayal somehow. My family says, "What do you care?" and I say, "Why _don't_ you???" Everyone just shrugs. _But I feel cheated._ (And kinda' stupid and gullible too!)
That’s exactly how I feel,it must of been a beautiful time to be alive ❤
As Italian from Venice , I am astonished by This unknown serial of pictures. Thanks to You for the discovery of Mr.Altobelli Memories . It's a truly time journey
Living in Rome at the time without tourist globalization, I think it was incredible to be able to enjoy the attractions all to yourself.
Thanks so much for the cool tour, Jarid! Very interesting. Some pictures were missing descriptions, and being the curious sort, I did some looking online. I thought I'd pass along this info to anyone also interested. (For the sites I could identify, that is.)
1:01 - Ruins of the Roman Forum, ancient marketplace and plaza.
5:32 - Arcus Argentariorum, "Arch of the Moneychangers".
6:17 - Temple of Minerva Medica. A nymphaeum (a monument consecrated to the nymphs).
6:33 - Basilica of Maxentius and Constantine.
6:54 - Forum of Emperor Nerva, "Le Colonnacce" (the colonnade).
7:26 - Inside the Roman Colliseum. (I think everyone figured that out, though. lol!)
7:53 - Papal Basilica of Saint Lawrence outside the Walls.
8:14 - Rome City Hall.
8:36 - Trajan's Forum.
9:17 - "Easter Mass at St. Peter's Square, Rome, presided by Pope Pius IX."
9:47 - "The Porta Maggiore ("Larger Gate"), or Porta Prenestina, is one of the eastern gates in the ancient but well-preserved 3rd-century Aurelian Walls of Rome."
10:26 - "Porta San Giovanni is a gate in the Aurelian Wall of Rome, Italy, named after the nearby Archbasilica of Saint John Lateran."
11:00 and 20:35 - Temple of Antoninus and Faustina. According to Wikipedia, originally constructed as a temple to Antoninus Pius and his wife Faustina, converted to a Christian church in the middle ages.
11:19 - Pope Pius IX inaugurates the Magliana railway bridge.
17:24 - Probably the Temple of Hercules Victor. Although this picture is labeled as the Temple of Vesta, according to Wikipedia, the temple of Vesta was demolished in 1549 and its stone used to build churches and papal palaces. In Wikipedia, this structure looks most likely to be the Temple of Hercules Victor. (I could be wrong, though.)
Благодаря за поясненията. От BG
Thank you.
You're not wrong about the last one :)
This temple is the most ancient still standing roman building.
You can get an idea of its age by noticing how the circular sloped roof sits right on top of the columns with no stone lintel used in many other temples. This means that the original lintel was made of timber and is lost in time due to its perishability. The most ancient roman buildings are documented using timber lintels to host the roofs.
You are a great, "te sei 'n granne" in roman 😊😊
Bless you ❤
Благодаря за възможността да видя тези прекрасни снимки, представящи ни Рим преди повече от век и половина. Те са безценно богатство. Поздрави от България.
The quality of these photographs is outstanding, very well composed and many are very sharp, a testament to the quality of the cameras, the lenses and of course, the photographers.
This is the type of content RUclips was made for. Thank you!
Thank you for compiling this & thanks to Mr Altobelli for taking these pictures! Imagine doing something that 1 1/2 centuries later people still appreciate!!🤩
The shades of grays captured the city Rome especially the vestiges of the Roman architecture with a sense of nostalgia. Fortunately most of these archeological sites have been saved and restored. The beautiful Roma, Italia 🇮🇹
You obviously didn't watch the whole video. There is a pyramid with it looks like a gold apex at the tip. What is this?
@@marcosgomez8618pyramid of caius cestius
@@marcosgomez8618yeah that’s still there’s it’s someone’s grave from ancient times.
That's blows my mind.
These pictures are incredible. It is so interesting to see pictures of the Tiber river before the walls were built in the late 1800s to prevent the constant flooding of the city
When these photographs were taken, the sounds of Rome, the horses, the wind and the birds in the trees was closer to the atmosphere Caesar was accustomed to. In the 1870's the car was not invented yet. So the ancient world, Unbeknownst to the 19th century person, was still clinging in there. So the photo's may well be very similar to our time but the atmosphere, for the guy walking about the place in the 1870's was closer to that of ancient Rome than it is to our loud, mechanical and noisy 21st Century.
Yes but in these photos there is an important difference compared to ancient times, in the 19th century Rome had only 200,000 inhabitants, while at the time of the empire there were a million... in the Middle Ages Rome became just the capital of a little State in central Italy, ruled by the Pope, and the city had emptied because it was no longer the capital of a large empire, even in these photos you can see large spaces with few people... it must have been very fascinating, the large spaces and the large monuments of an ancient imperial capital could be contemplated by a few lucky people... today it is no longer like that, since in 1871 Rome became the capital of a larger state (reunified Italy) and it has filled up with many inhabitants again... and today the mass tourism has worsened this situation.
Congrats to you Jarid!
I have been watching your videos from the beginning and never have much of a commenter
The two reasons why I’m writing this today is, I’m inspired by you pushing through and seeing what you have done and getting rewarded for your efforts with hitting 80k
The second reason is, those pictures are just incredible, great job in research
The colosseum night picture really stands out and the heights of the pillars are incredible!
This video, really solidified the idea that something happened, it seems when we are in the USA and see videos of the monstrous build and dirt roads, don’t make any sense, but seeing Rome still in ruins and the people on horseback seems to hit home even stronger that there’s no way we built this. Also Romanesque architecture is worldwide doesn’t make sense either
Thanks and congrats 🎉
The wonderful incongruity of large colomns and archways, with little horse drawn carriages and tiny people on dirt roads. Stunning presentation, as usual~ lovely
Thanks for pulling this together. Rome feels like a huge trove of buried history just waiting for explorers in this circle to start exploring. The stories they fabricate...
While on a tour, they claim that the pantheon was originally supposed to be twice the size that it is, but the original larger columns capsized the transport barges in route from Egypt. Can you just imagine an unreinforced concrete dome twice that size?!?!
43metres or 142ft wide.
22. or 71 ft height.
Imagine twice that👀
Moronalierus was the obvious end result of a mass population of screen starers who are easily swayed and manipulated with the wind. No real internal moral compass to speak of. Most await buzzwords and trigger phrases from their "leaders" to enact their fake moral superiority in order to gain a sense of meaning. Minds are quickly being degenerated, social media screen starers disconnected from reality with nothing real going on internally cling to political causes and slogans. the virus is their wet dream and meaning making apparatus, reality in its own twisted projection of their mind finally makes sense and they have their "cause of a generation..that they "lived through" and "overcame".

Never once looking inward to wonder if maybe they are being had or might have it totally backwards. Total Indoctrination.
The root of all evil is reproduction. If no more fresh food(children) is brought into this 'heaven' and given over to the beast, the beast would starve to death. Don't bring into this reality more future: communists, satanists, terrorists prancing around in the idiotbox/telievision in suits/ties and white coats and other childish/ridiculous uniforms, torturers, mercenaries, hitmen/hitwomen, bolsheviks, leninists, stalinists, maoists, nazis, marxists, BLMs, antifas etc.etc.(i.e. the ‘nice’ people of society). No, you will not be able to influence your children, the beast is indoctrinating/brainwashing them 24/7/365. Your 5 minutes per day non-sensical useless interaction with them will not counteract the beast's 24/7/365 influence.
@@jamessones4044 Speaking of the columns, I think they were referring to the height of the pediment, which I am sure is lower than the original design for the same reason you said. However, I think the same type of dome could not have been so double the size. But the original height of the Pantheon was quite impressive, but unfortunately the ground level now reaches the base of the columns.

Thank you for such an amazing job and make me dream a little bit. I am from Rome, crazy for my city. Some of those pictures are really unbelievable. That big round clock on the facade of Castel Sant'Angelo (or former Mausoleum of Hadrian) is something that only very old Romans could watch in person when they were young children.
At 5:38 you have the Arch of the Argentari (people who worked with silver and similar metals), incredibly opened. I have always seen that passage closed in my life. At the right, the iron fence you can spot is the portico of San Giorgio al Velabro church, one of my favorite church in Rome for multiple reasons and the lowest church (in terms of altitude) in all the city. Some of the fountains you can see have been moved to other part of the city, while others have just been removed. You can see the main San Lorenzo cathedral before the bombing of the II World War. At 10:40, that piece of Roman walls between Piramide Cestia and Porta San Paolo is no longer there, it was bombed during the war, incredibly missing the two monuments at sides. So now there is a car passage to go through. The Arch of Druso (so called, because the real Arch of Druso was built a bit further out on the Appia street, but nobody has never seen it - that one in the picture was just a part of the Antoninian acqueduct which brought water to the Caracalla Baths) at 11:55 was not buried since there has always been a street there (old via Appia, towards Capua city) since the Republic time which passed exactly under it. Of course that old via Appia is still there, I use it almost every week, and remained in use all the time. At 13:00 in front of Colosseum you can see the old Meta Sudans (sweating stone in Latin) fountain shaped as a big round stone, a very old one. Unfortunately it was finally demolished during Fascism times. The garden you can see behing the Piramide Cestia al 14:10 is the English cemetery (or not Catholic cemetery, much correctly), a lovely place to visit now. It is very likely, but just a speculation from me, that one of those men you can see close to archeological sites in the Roman Forum was the famous Rodolfo Amedeo Lanciani, one of the fathers of archeology who has also worked during the transition between the Papal State and Rome as part of the new Italian State. I really suggest to read one of his masterpiece, The Destruction of Ancient Rome, written 120 years ago but still counting. The round temple you can see at 17:25, behind the fountain, it is not the Temple of Vesta. That was believed since few decades ago, because of its round shape. The Temple of Vesta in now precisely located inside the old Roman Forum, which is also very logical bcause of the meaning it used to have, they discovered its substructures. The round Temple you can see there is the Temple of Ercole Vincitore (Hercules the Winner) who was the patron of horse jokey in the race inside Circus Maximus, which is, in fact, located right behind the camera standpoint. That Temple is also the oldest marble temple stll raised nowadays, although the roof you can see was rebuilt in the Middle Ages. That pillars at 20:35 are a portion of the big Portico di Ottavia (Ottavia's Porch), and the small church behind is Sant'Angelo in Peschiera, called in this way because in that area there was the first and oldest fish market of Rome ("Pescheria" means fish shop), and in fact is located very close to the river for trading and logistics purpose. That fish market, which is now inside the Jewish quarter, lasted and worked for more than two thousands of years. But those pillars were never buried, as written, only the very lower part of them - they always remained at light. Thank you again, mate.
Thank you for share those precious historic photos. It shows those great civilizations were there previously and destroyed or abandoned and then some Rich and poor people start to move there once they discovered them and start to rebuild those historic cities.
No hay palabras para mensurar la importancia de este documental
Extraordinario !! Nos emociona, nos sumerge en el pasado, nos muestra los cambios. GRACIAS
Very interesting Jarid. Probably you know but there are some interesting engravings done in the mid 18th Century (around 1750) very accurately done, that show the Ancient Roman ruins in great detail with a lot of overgrown vegetation on them. The artist is called Piranesi.
These accurate engraving were probably done with a "Camera Obscura" the earliest camera that the artist would sketch the projected image that would come into a dark room or large box thru a small hole (aperture) were the only light came in, projecting an image. The artist would be able to make a very accurate true life sketch.
All these images were 'Wet Plate Collodion " (Daguerreotype, Tintype were on silver plates; Ambrotype was on glass that meant it was a negative you could print from. Dry Plate was invented in 1871). Wet Plate meant the photographer had to prepare his plate emulsion (salted collodion) and silver nitrate (protecting from light), then exposing the plate in camera by taking the lens cap off and mentally timing the exposure, re-capping and removing the plate and developing it before it started to dry. That's why you'll notice differences in details, as some are higher exposed and others lower. Where there any people, they needed to pose still. From CANADA
There would be growth over a period of time...

I’ve read about this. Very interesting. There’s also evidence of very early photo ‘editing.’
Wow!! I just took my first trip to Rome 10 months ago and was able to visit MANY of these places in these pictures and to see how they looked 150 years ago as compared to now is just incredible. I found Rome to be fascinating. St. Peter's Basilica is the most AWE INSPIRING structure I've ever walked into in my life. My entire 6 days there walking, touring, sight seeing, just taking in the history and architecture.... WOW! Great pics and video!
The city looks so different nowadays because 150 years ago many of the buildings were still fairly new or even erected shortly beforehand. The Pantheon for example was originally a Christian Church, built only a few centuries ago.
@@THOUGHTCRIME_No1That is absolutely rubbish. You should go and study a bit.
What is rubbish and why and on which evidence would this be based?
@@THOUGHTCRIME_No1 Check your facts about the Pantheon and some other things I've read you wrote. I won't be educating anyone.

Thank you Jarid as always for filling the gaps in our history knowledge. You always come up with something interesting. God bless.
Beautiful picture ! Never seen them with a beautiful image of the kind !! ❤
Hey Jomama. You're so correct. It made me realize that I have no photographs of the house and neighborhood I grew up in San Antonio Texas. My whole neighborhood was razed in 1972 under the old Urban Renewal Program. Ultimate insult replaced by warehouses. I'm an old geezer now and many times I reminisce about my childhood home and neighborhood and have no photographs. So sad.
Yes, we fail to capture the ordinary. Then it's gone.
I would love to see current pictures taken now at the same angles so you could compare what has changed. I really enjoyed being there and it was amazing to see the coliseum with the floor in place.
Most of those monuments have not changed at all
I don't believe that's the "floor" of the coliseum, rather the ground that had buried it and was yet to be excavated.
First thing I noticed were clocks featuring 'IIII' instead of 'IV' for the number four! Also, a few with vanilla skies....
you know some russian soviet clocks was with the same IIII instead of IV
search images "советский будильник с римскими цифрами"
I was stationed in Italy while in the Military. What a Beautiful place and all that Culture. So sad that most of these treasures were lost and can never be replaced. In the middle east especially the destruction was almost complete

The truly most amazing photo i've ever saw was that of the colosseum, it was taken from above but at a slight angle at a certain time of the day when the Sun cast light shadows, it becomes a realistic looking eye and i do mean realistic, thats its true hidden secret. I was searching Images for ancient monuments about 15 years ago, as i scrolled down i saw a picture of an eye amongst ancient monuments i thought it was odd having that picture, so i looked closer and it was the colosseum. Who really built it and why can its real purpose only be seen from above.
At what time do you reference?

Thanks for the video!
Really needs a then and now photo version. The missing structures and the now with what happened. Story of what is/was seen has a greater impact.
No doubt that would be cool
Good idea. I guess another 150 years and most of the buildings would be largely gone if not for intensive preservation activities. No building lasts longer than 400-500 years before it completely crumbles. See the Egyptian pyramids which were erected in the 13th/14th century or later. They only still exist because they are so huge and solid.

@@THOUGHTCRIME_No1 Yeah.. that's not really true. Ask the Normans. Westminster Abbey is about 750 years old and doing just fine.
@@nicknewman7848 By no means is this building that old. Maybe it was build in the 18th century, but I would rather estimate that it was constructed in the 19th century. It exhibits some resemblence to the dome of Cologne which was erected from 1826-1839 for the most part.

Good job!
Jarid Boosters. I am not sure if I ever posted on any of your videos but will now. I really really enjoy ALL of your research and finding these great photos and sharing them ♥️ The history and imagining getting to take some of the first photos and recording history so they could be shared with the world. I remember being in fourth grade and our teacher had a picture (from life magazine maybe?) Of the Sphinx. One of the first taken I supposed because it was still very covered with sand and men and a few camels way high up on the sand. I knew it was a picture of the Sphinx of course but I was fascinated by it. I like your sharing these photos and I love b&w pictures. My great grandfather was a photographer around or before the early 1900s he was from South America. I never met him or saw many of his photos but I really enjoy seeing these. My great grand father would also be one of these early photographers. So cool.
Thank you so much.
The sphinx, by its proportions is a lion. Also aligned to the Leo constellation in the firmament.
I like the history of times that were reset and trying to comprehend where all the knowledge of the skill to build such cities of artwork to be proud of there is a lot to be learned yet of all our past that just gets pushed a side , I am buying a place in Italy for retirement and to explore its beauty and a time that we should all learn from. be safe and liked the video
Un trozo de historia preservado para siempre... Me encantan estos testimonios fotográficos!!!!! 👍
good work, it is helping in preserving earliest phographs of eternal city of Rome by sharing them with the world
I am 70 years old, a born and bred Londoner, in April i went to Rome for the very first time, and i loved it, but i must admit to becoming emotional visiting these places that i had heard about, for most of my life. These pictures are wonderful.
I hope you will love Italy and Rome and, please, no Cappuccino after 12 pm :D
@@giangra92
This was our first visit to Italy and Roma, and we did love it, we went for four days, and one of them we spent in Pompeii, both places were equally beautiful, we took the Train from Roma to Napoli, a lovely fast Train, and then another, local, train to Pompeii.
The countryside we travelled through was beautiful too, but as an old boy, money is tight, but i will definitely be trying to save enough to go back to to Roma and Pompeii.
Is it silly to say i felt so at home?, because i did. I just wish i were a young man again, i would spend so much time in Italy.
But i am sorry to disappoint you, we shamefully did have Cappuccino after Mid-day, i will try not to make the same mistake again, in Bella Italia.
Amazing collection Brilliant work as always. Much respect, from Australia...
excellant! it would be awesome to see pictures of the same places now, from the same angle.
How much development has taken place between then and now. In 2023, very little of these areas looks anything like these images.
Time has changed the face of Rome nearly beyond recognition.
AMAZING! AT about 15:20 you can clearly see another photographer in the center of the photo. Tripod and large box type view camera are visible.
Thank you Jarid , My great Grandpas and Grandmas are from Italy and Sicily so they have been all over this area , it sure looks Mud flooded to me , Looks like it was under Muddy Water for quite awhile and had things built for 12 to 18 foot folks . I would have been all over it with a shovel looking for Loot , and Marveling at the Architecture :) QC
So glad he did this, I wish I had taken more pictures growing up. I was young and naive, thinking things would always be where they were and never be torn down. Boy was I wrong. The places that have fallen and been rebuilt is unbelievable to me. It breaks my heart to see the charm stripped away from the special places where I have lived over my lifetime. Today, I saw a 2 story library I used to sit at a table on the 2nd floor and draw for hours in the peace and quiet of that library growing up. It hurts deep to see it being demolished in the name of progress. Once they are gone, they cannot be put back. The memories are just that now. It really stinks. I don't want to live in Anywhere, USA.

Sorry for the loss of your library. That's hard to take.
In Italy we use to preserve buildings instead of building new ones, this is why our country is so interesting ❤ I hate when I watch to erase the past. Historia magistra vitae!
The more such photographs I see the more convinced I am that the city and cities like it were founded as in found-dead and simply settled.
Jarid, I'm from South Africa and I started watching your clips more and more. I have what might be a stupid question but, have you noticed that a lot of the star forts were built in the shape of animals? It's interesting. I saw Fort George in Scotland is in the shape of a dragon's head.
Did you see it or did dutchinse show it to you? Are dragons real?
@@ET-sp6qm I saw a clip where someone pointed out the Fort George one and i use that as the example because it's the clearest one to me. Then, on google earth you can see those shapes on most of europe's forts. Not only animals but some "esoteric" type shapes.

Even Italians where killed at those times by nations who are now totally cooperating each others.
You miss a lot of informations in between!!!!
I wish that the name of every building, fountain, arch etc. photgraphed in this amazing video, had been written above the photo, just to Google the present day image. Also placing a photo of how everything appears today would have been fantastic. A Rome (1841 - 1871) which still had a rural aspect about it. Rather touching photos...vegetable plots, donkeys and carts near the monuments - AND no car pollution.
Thank you so much for sharing😁💓🙏🏻🌺🌿
Wow, what a amazing pictures.
The photos are exceptional, the video is well made.
Thank you for showing how Roma was because this is the birth place of my mother and uncle. As a child I visited our grandparents with my mother and two brothers this was in the mid 1950s before we moved to Australia. 🎉🎉🎉
13:03 photo showing clouds & fullmoon,
Beautiful
When most of these pictures were taken: No electricity. No cars. No buses. No airplanes. Very few trains. No telephones. No communication whatsoever other than letters or in-person. No modern medicine of any kind. Horse poop everywhere. 99.9 percent of people never traveled beyond their birthplace. This is as close a view as we can get to visual time travel. One generation later, Italy and the world changed more than in the previous two thousand years. Thanks for posting.
A Time and a place where Beauty was everywhere. We can't even start to comprehend what it must have been to live there.
Beauty? Dirt..childlabour..unsanitary houses...poverty...disrepair and early death...u wouldn't last a day..most people had a terrible life then
Very true.
being an Italian I walked through Rome and other places in Italy... by seeing this pictures i realize today how often I may be so accustomed to ancient ruins and not notice the various "minor" remaining that surround me... this picture gave me a deeper impression on some of the things I saw in person in this modern and caotic world
Incredibly interesting selection of early photographs. Thank you for sharing these.
I'd love to see these colourised 👌🏻 I used to live in Rome 😍
I have just returned from my third visit to Rome, my absolute favorite city in the world. This video of the photographs is quite remarkable, thank you for posting.
Seeing the streetlight by the arch around the 19-20 min mark really raises eyebrows, like theres no way they were building structures like that and were just using candles and fire for lighting
A fantastic collection! The population in Rome was possibly around 100-200,000 in 1850. I was looking at the forum area in some pic's around the1880s and they were doing excavation of dirt all around the place. There are photo quality artists drawings (what they used before Photography) It seems that most of the Forum area was covered or buried with dirt. Been there a few times and just love the place. The Roman Forum actually had a street winding through it in a big oval circle, Lol, and a few places were refurbished and a few are gone now .
nonsense
@@user-ny7vz9fh5y Go look . It's out there. The proof is there. What i your nonsense supposed to mean?
Thanks man! It's fun to go back in time, to look at images from way back in time. I've got to go to Rome!
Absolutely fascinating✨
How strange to have been living in Rome in the 1800s, with these ancient and superior structures all around your simple one-storey huts and houses. The locals even lacking the resources to preserve such towering architecture. They must have looked on with humbling bemusement.
thank you Jarid 💗💗💗
I would give anything to see Rome in its prime. Maybe a VR version will exist one day, that lets you walk through the streets of Rome.
I was most interested in seeing that early shot of the colosseum exterior with the meta sudans still intact, Pete Hutley, Newcastle, Australia.
The fountain should be rebuilt with water sweating out of it.
I agree. Don’t know why they’ve never done it.
So you are telling me with this photos, a city like Rome in 1800's, is just a ruin city full of dirt and ruins? Something about our history is wrong!
Take a look to the first photos ever taken of India. Beside 700 years of muslim colonialism it was a beautifull place, much more clean than Rome. Then british came, and India became the dirty place we all know.
While India, Bhārata, produces art, music, architecture and the most deep culture of the world, in Italia there were still men with clubs who communicated with gestures.
1:15 there you can see houses
These photographs suggest a great event sometime before 1860. Many of the ruins had at least 5-10 year of vegetation growth on them. The areas looked vacant except the piazza. And then, piazza had a disorderly look to the occupants like they had just shown up. The architecture is similar to other places around the entire earth. Does this suggest a people - preTartian - were the builders?
I paused the video to read your excellent comment.
Nothing of mainstream academia makes sense when it comes to our history. I am convinced those buildings are the remnants of a cataclysmic event consistent throughout the world. Europe might have been the epicentre of that magnificent civilisation.
A growing number of people are beginning to believe that the 1000 year reign of Christ Jesus on Earth ended at that cataclysmic event and we are now living in the "short season" wherein lucıfer was released on Earth.
I am Italian and I have no reservations saying that those people we see in the photos and the generations before them, had nothing to do with the construction of those divine structures.
In Australia the oldest tombstone was 1860
1840 is when these monsters crawled out from their tunnels and fired up the baby incubators and cloning centers again
Amazing images.🏛️👀
Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed it all.
Think about how big of a catastrophic event, or events in the past were, to bring huge, awesome civilizations to a standstill… A bit spooky, and I hope Jason, from Archaix, is wrong, but the more I look into the dudes information, I’m pretty sure he’s onto something, the “Phoenix Phenomenon”.
P.S.: Thank you for the video sir. And sitting down after work and watching this, along with the soothing music that you provide, is extremely relaxing.
Martin too would like to see these too - many people interested in old photos like myself are very pleased to see these for the first time - just subscribed with thanks to our host
I've been watching jason for a couple of years & he's changed everything I thought I knew. Totally mind blowing.
It be wonderful to see the old with the new but thank you so much 👏👏👏💕🇦🇺💗💕
These were already ancient ruins in 1840 going back over a thousand years. The nature and scope of the buildings and their design was so far ahead of the rest of the world. Modern cities didn’t catch up to the sophistication of early Roman construction techniques until the turn of the century. Imagine that in 1840 American Indians were still living as nomads out of Teepees. These fabulous buildings were ruins at that same time. They had aquaducts to bring fresh water into the city and complex sewer systems along with water piped into homes. Also giant sports complexes and thousands of miles of paved roads. Amazing.
1700 years at least. Anyway buildings like those were in the whole empire, from Britain to North Africa, from Spain to Syria
How wonderful! Thank you so much...
Grazie per questo video 🤩
Thank you for posting these exquisite photographs! I wonder if those in the pictures knew what a grand place they were in, at least the photographer knew! I am so fascinated by Roman architecture and history, I loved this video.😊
Me too !!!
Thank you Jarid. Some commentary on each or most photos would have been priceless.
👋Hi there Jarid,
I'm a new subscriber here, I have to say WOW! As soon as I found your channel & started watching your videos, I was seriously hooked. My family are equally hooked.
Your content is just amazing, so interesting, so informative/educative, so wonderful & so evocative & moving. I love listening to your narrative & always find it so compelling & interesting.
This one regarding amazing & beautiful Rome, is of no exception. A city so full of incredible architecture, such rich & diverse history & such wonderful & vibrant culture.
I love the music that you play throughout your videos. Just wonderful & so evocative, which adds warmth/depth & really "adds" to your video style & narrative.
For me, as someone with some Italian/Roman ancestry, I feel that I'm potentially looking into the faces of some of my early ancestors & however crazy this may sound, it may well be true. And this also applies, to anyone with known Italian/Roman ancestry.
The history is so amazing & I think the architecture back then, sure beats todays buildings by & large.
It's interesting to note, that unlike many global cities, Rome has managed to maintain it's historical architecture, for the most part & when you walk around, it really is just like stepping back in time.
It's akin to taking a stroll through your favourite candy store. There's so much on offer & there are always new & wonderful surprises in store around every corner.
It's great that this city has remained widely untouched & how wonderful for todays generation of Italians & global citizens, otherwise such history & beauty would never have been visually witnessed & appreciated.
I really appreciate your interest in history, your keen historical eye & I wish to say Thank you, for your research/hard work & for bringing us such wonderful & interesting content.
Regards from Tasmania, Australia.
I dont know why but I always get sad when I see people standing in front of these massive structures back Almost 200 years ago. I cant help but wonder what these peoples lives were like, All the Laughs, Dates, Dances, First Kisses, Christmas days, Holidays, Birthdays, Family members, Just gone and forgotten just like that. I bet some of these peoples graves dont even exist to this day. Just a soul forgotten and now a mere blemish on a old photo Wondering if eventually we all will meet the same fate.
We are all just passing through. This life is a temporary state. We are all spiritual beings incarnate into a flesh body. Seek Jesus is all I can tell people.
Maybe, 200 years ago, it was you , in another incarnation , who stood forlorn, knee deep in the rubble.
@@jthepickle7 perhaps that’s why I feel sadness 😢
@@MrSmithOriginal Nah, Satan is far more peaceful and doesnt advocate for banging children the way the Jesus folk do.
They at least hit the historical lottery being among the first in the history of mankind to have their image preserved through photography
Interesting to think my great-great-grandparents were around at that time as my ancestry is from a little mountain-top village about 100 miles / 160km south-east of Rome. Who knows… they quite possibly visited Rome during the 1841-1871 time period these photos were taken.
where are all the people? all these buildings and many looking very rundown, but no repairs? scaffolding? maintenance? was there a time in history where Rome was uninhabited?
I love history of all kinds.
These photos are our earliest possible window to the past. After millenia of history this is Rome exiting from the shadows of the past and entering into the modern era.
a confrontation with giovanni battista piranesi´s works would be even more stunning!
It would be fun to compare these Roman buildings with ones in Europe and America - I get this feeling they were all built at the same time
There are buildings in every single country that are like these. Even on small Asian islands. It was a world wide civilization.
Superb video and images!
At 10:48 the pyramid picture did anyone else notice the top of it. It has to made of a different material for the vines not to grow on it. Maybe a quartz crystal?
