Simon: "It's 'leviOsa', not 'levioSA'!"
😂😂😂
Could you do a video on the salt mines in Wielizcka in Poland? Such an interesting place.
Second that!
Yep
Or the salt flats in the mountains of northern Argentina!
Oh heck yeah! Please do this one!
That would be an excellent one👍 It'd be great if he split it into two, a Megaprojects vid focusing on the engineering/heavy equipment part, and one here focusing on the history of the region/miners
I visited the catacombs in the 90s and it absolutely changed my life. That sounds strange, I know, but it led me to develop a sense of exploration and appreciation of history. These traits led me become the first in my family to attend university and eventually teach. I always tell anyone interested in understanding the world to do three things: Visit Rome, visit China and read The Story of Civilization by Will and Ethyl Durant.
Same.
China, don't.
I’m good on China 💀 amazing history culture but their government and a lot of the citizens that condone it are insane
At 3:55, lime does not slow down the speed of a body's decay ~~ lime speeds up the decay process.
I studied all of these in Classics at University..
It was a fun trip down memory lane..
I hadn't realised how obsessed I've become with your channels. It started as maybe a video per day while I got stuff done in the house. Then I realised that you have other channels that I could follow. Now - for context - I am a single girl who's just moved to poland in a pandemic. Obviously, I don't have many friends. Very quickly, I've started putting on your videos as soon as i step through the door. I am absolutely obsessed. Thank you.
Raiding the catacombs sounds nice until you hear a creature screeching.
That's what she said. (SORRY!)
The art museum I had a student job at had a sarcophagus from a child buried in the roman catacombs
I studied Christian archaeology at university for a couple of semesters and this video is surprisingly accurate. Well done!
@@marcoburing Harmless, mundane innocent comment, and gets met with a vomiting face from a stranger. The internet really is the death of us all.
One of my favorite Catholic saints, Saint Philomena, was found in a catacomb. They found symbols on metal indicating who she was and a vial of her blood.
The catacombs were so popular that people were just dying to get in... :P
Funny comment
this is one of the most interesting videos across all of Simon's various channels. very very good.
Beautifully done, thank you.
Simon, you say it would take a life time to explore Rome in detail. How cool would a mini series on this channel be of just "Exploring Rome in detail"? Or maybe something for your new Sideprojects channel?? Either way I think it's something to look into, I love the Roman stuff you do
Ha! Simon talking about the catacombs of Priscilla, which are 200 meters from my home...love it
There is a exact replica of a part of the roman catacombs in the city of Valkenburg in the Netherlands. It has been made in a underground lime stone quarry.

Oh boy here I go being late for work again
One of the best places I've ever visited
Loved this, learnt so much! Thank you :)
Thank you so much for this video. I've visited the Sebastian Catacombs and was gutted not to be able to take any photos to show my friends so I've sent them all this video instead so they can see what I've been trying to describe👍
you should do a video or a channel about different wars... like the crusades, ww1 or 2 korea, irag/iran war... etc... i would love watching those ones
Fascinating insight. Thanks!
Reverend Whistler. That was an interesting topic. You covered it well.
I saw them in person and they were amazing
GREAT GEOGRAPHICS EPISODE IDEA...The design, build, running and possible mass duplication of the Unprecedented Carbon Neutral HydroWind Power Plant on the island of El Hierro in Spain!! I think the world needs to know about this technology and it's likely applicable Anywhere with a windmill and a water tower feeding a hydro plant !!! Please upload this so we can spread the good word!!
Excellent video, more Rome please!!!
19:02 one of Rowan Atkinson's ancestors
I would like one on houska castle its a really weird castle with the defensive walls on the inside because they though there was a portal to hell there.
Great halloween subject!
The nazi's also did some shady stuff there.
(Yes I will persist!)
He posted it today I think. I watched it just before this one!
@@astaldogal I just saw it and linked it very much :)
Respectfully done..... Very appreciated... Thanks...
I have a test that focuses on this time in a few hrs what good timing for me!
Good video👍
Brilliant.
Thank you
Yesss do a Saint Sebastian Biographics!!
God wills it!
I just really appreciate it when you Brits correct us Americans when our English is incorrect. Keep on truckin.
I asked you delivered I am pleased
Please do one on the "Cueva de los Tayos" and all the claims surrounding the subject.
Damn last time I was this early my wife was a little upset....ba dum dum tsss!
**Badum-boom-boom-tshhh**
Only since he brought to my (American) attention, all I can focus on is "catakooms" lol another great video simon
Please consider doing a Geographics video on Aberfan. The anniversary is in a couple of days (21 October) so it would be fitting.
I find places like this really interesting, the older the better.
Enjoy the very informational videos. Love the internet's most spectacular beard!
i was lucky to be there last year! Shit was cold
Been to one of these when I was in Rome years ago, can't remember what one, I just remember being surprised that after 2 millennia they still smell like death.
Uff this brought me right back there. I have been to 2 school trips to Rome and they included a visit to one of the catacombs each. I think I have been to the one with the church and one other. I remembered I hated it there but I thought it was only being surrounded by death, I hated normal cemeteries at that age as well. But now I remember that the smell was...shocking. I tried to breathe as little as possible to not inhale the dust consisting of the bodies of the ones buried there. I remember other people running their fingers through the dust in the burial plots in the walls. I was horrified.
Could you do a future video on Kokoda, would be great to have you do a video on it!
Why did that intro music hit so hard
just for fun, I changed the playback speed to .5 rate and can use it to play your vid and fall asleep. Reminds me of university lectures on warm autumn Friday afternoons when I was 19.😴🥱or Sat. nights after great partying.🥴😜🤪
Ghhhaaaamygod level your picture frames!
"Cata-coomz." Are you trying to give me an eye twitch?!?
The moment I read this, Simon said it.... and my eye actually twitched
You wouldn't really expect him to know much about combs, now, would you?
Gozo & Malta next!
Now I'm gonna go comb, I mean, "coom" my beard.
I'd like to see a video on the mines of kutna Hora in the Czech Republic.
I visited the city as part of a vacation where the guide told us of the miners using their leather capes as sleds when going down the mines because the were very steep.
Also the city had an almost deaf male population because if the mining and coining activity 🙂
Could you make a video about the deepest lake in the world in Russia?! I'm so intruiged by the impact that it has had on the areas around it but there's barely any documentaries!
nice
What about a video on the highway of tears in Canada?
7:30 is no one else curious about this guys ear?
There are seven catacombs regularly open now. Pre-covid I mean.
If I ever get to Rome, I have some catacombs to visit!
It's stupid expensive if you are not careful. £5 for a can of coke if your lucky. Modena and Bologna have a lot of very interesting history at 1/3 the cost. The southern end of Italy? Even cheaper. The food changes radically in Italy too. EG Pizza in Northern Italy and Southern Italy are not even recognisable as the same thing. American pizza is actually the Scicilian type (ish).
@@gordonlawrence1448 5€ a can in Rome? just don't buy it, go to any store or supermarket and buy 3 bottles of 1.5 liters at that price, even cold, throughout Italy.
Okay, so ... how long will we have to wait for St. Sebastian's biographic video?
Until Jesus comes back...it may be a minute.
How about a video on the Salem Witchtrials, or Witchtrials in general?
Watched this while cooming my hair
If they found more catacombs I don't know how I'd feel really. It'd be kinda funny because of how measured, documented and built up Rome is. I'd be impressed because of that and how deep it would have to be. I'd also be somewhat nervous because of the people who would have their testing places disturbed. Anybody know how they'd feel?
an excellent explanation of what deserves a more lengthily documentary. also may I suggest a video about the other great catacombs, the ones in Paris
They did that one already. It was one of the first
Oh you know what would make a great topic? The city of Constantinople!
i heard some of the catacombs were held up by caterpillars... and that caterpillars use catacombs to brush their hair...
holy shoot wtf Literaly like a sec ago?!
you may wish to check your timeline on the Vandals being in Rome.
I'd be really interested to see a video on Tiananmen Square
Seconded
Have you guys done Gobekli tepe?
I do not ‘coom’ my hair, I ‘comb’ it. Cata-comb. :)
Sounds like you've got the looks that kill!
WOW! i just thought it was how my kitty smoothed her catahair?
Catacoom i just cant…next youll tell me philidelphy’er (reference the philidelphia experiment) is more respectfully to the etymology of blah! Love your channel man! Youre my top 3 youtube channels.
SIMON! DO MEGAPROJECTS ON ANTARCTIC SNOW CRUISER! PLEASE!!!!!
Can you do the Odessa Catacombs too?
Catacombs. Yet another subject in which the Eternal City shows it's superiority over the city of lights.
Here so early I can smell Simon's aftershave
I can always smell it... something wrong with my phone I think...
Really your going to make me chose right now? bio Geo and mega. Ohwell let's learn about Rome.
C'mon! Where's the necessary John Wick 2 reference? One of the coolest shoot out scenes...
You may he interested in the Fire and Ice Caves of Bandera Volcano, in New Mexico, USA.
Naturally freezing temperatures, in lava tube caves, used by Indigenous Peoples in North America for food storage.
U may have missed the difference between catacUmbas and catacOmbs
I would love to see a video about the Islamic Golden Age :)
Finally, one video done well.
I'm gonna keep saying cat-a-colms, because A. I don't care, B. It sounds better in the American accent, and C. The British still say AluminIUM, despite the fact the man who named the metal said it was AlumiNUM, and spelled it "Aluminum", aka it's more "respectful to the original".
Fun fact: the bible never says there are 3 wiseman, just that there was 3 gifts
Are there any episodes on any of simons channel that doesn’t passively hate on America at some point?
were you the voice of Nero in The Story Keepers?
Video idea: Istanbul/Constantinople

RUclips: *Everything makes sense right now*
There is nothing wrong with RUclips plus the joke is long dead, the reason there are less views is because you need to watch a certain amount of time to have it count as a view. Even then it takes a bit for RUclips to load that view in
@@thehistoryguy987 It said that for ten minutes after loading this time - I don't know why.
@@ACHistory bit weird that is
@@thehistoryguy987 It had never happened to me before this.
@@ACHistory well ok that's weird happens to me all the time
American English isn't a language, it's three languages stacked on top of of each other in a trench coat parading around as a language.
Is that you, Vincent?
To be fair all of English is like that, so I'm told
Honestly ive never understood why not, italian and spanish are different languages, yet australian/north american are the same?
@@YazzPott because they both just speak English and are understood easily by the other. Italian and Spanish are not the same language they cannot be understood easily by the other.
@@MegaEpicturtles yeah 'easily' get a drunk Scot, newfie, and Louisi, in a room and tell me their speaking the same language.
I wanna go to Rome.
catacooooombs
1:22 Wait... wait... wait... so I'm pronouncing catacombs wrong? I should be pronouncing it 'catacooooms'? So you also "cooom" your hair every morning? Oh wait... its breakfast time have a bowl of Honeycoooooooms. 🤦♂️
Say Kool Whip.
The persecution of Christians did not stop after Constantine supposedly converted to Christianity. There was then the Council of Nicaea, making Catholicism the official religion. Those who followed other denominations, or variants, of Christianity continued to be persecuted. And, in those days there were about as many denominations, or variants, of Christianity as now.
Element animation:get out of this catacomb
Do a catacombs of France 🇫🇷
Catacombs of Paris have already been done on geographics.
