Rome’s Oldest Marble; The Temple of Hercules Victor [The Olive Bearer/ The Mouth of Truth] Old World

Howdy ya’ll. Today we’re going to look at the oldest photographs of The Temple of Hercules Victor, also known as The Temple of Hercules The Olive Bearer. This is the oldest marble building in Rome, and the only surviving Roman building built entirely out of Greek Marble. The structure is also a Tholos, and once contained the Mouth of Truth, an ancient depiction of a Hero of Old, possibly the Giant Hercules.
The Temple of Hercules Victor has many intriguing if not dark examples of questioning the history and yet the true purpose still seems to allude us. Are we on the trail of giants, of the biblical tales and the legends of old which once seemed like myth, but now appear to be more fact than fiction? Is the temple of Hercules Victor just one way that Romans kept in contact with their pagan beliefs, or does the truth actually stem from something far deeper, and more esoteric than that? Let’s see the photographs and decide!

Thx for the History - on my Bucket List to visit😎

Question, why @ 1:45 and also @ 3:04 show The Temple of Vesta at the bottom right. At one time long ago there was the same Temple of Vesta in Vestavia Hills, Al. just south of Birmingham. The Vesta virgins were to keep the fire burning.

I wish we could see if the marble had any natural pattern characteristics of marble. I think that all of the ancient stone structures and statues were made of stone aggregates. The silicone in granite and marble can be dissolved by crushing it and placing it into vats of very strong acids made with sulfur and fluorine from fluorite. After it was dissolved, silicone from sand or other clear crystal stone could be melted as added back in which would make it into a soft mixture that could be moulded or easily cut before it cooled and hardened. We know that the Egyptians had the ability to heat silica and make glass. There is evidence of fluorite mining (because of it's distinct purple color) and giant vats in South America in the Chilean desert where fluorite is plentiful, and there is also a plentiful supply of both sulfur and fluorite in Africa south of Egypt. Working with fluorine could also explain the skeletal deformities we see in ancient people which include various types of dwarfism and the giant cone shaped skulls - many of which would be due to a method of dealing with hydrocephalus. By binding the head tightly from infancy, excess cerebrospinal fluid could be pushed away from the brainstem towards the skull crown therefore prolonging life. For an example of fluorite mining and use in Chile look at gps coordinates -22.38476944444444, -69.7644 In the Atacama desert you can find both sulfur and fluorite in abundance.

I innerstand the truth perhaps to be more related to the “Blood Lickers” of antiquity

Jared you make inspiring content. Thank you

[@jmc8076]

Very interesting. Would love to see in person. Sad they removed the mouth figure. Wonder who has it?

[@wustachemax]

Drove past this daily when I lived in Rome. Funny enough very few tourists go to see it. The bocca della verita statue across the road (the one you put your hand in) on the other hand, has lines around the block. Lol. I wonder if Jarid's ever been to any of these places himself

[@12TribesUnite]

Super interesting stuff thank you

[@RyanSrMr]

So they’re telling us, horses or donkeys hoisted up these solid marble or solid granite structures 🤔 yeah I’m not buyin it.
Love your videos man 👍🏻

[@marenaude820]

Very interesting building 😊 Who can tell, when and by whom it was built?

[@random2829]

@5:50 Those look like cyclotrons.

[@progressivehardindustrialslug]

Giant gazeebo.
All old gazeebos held a magnatron inside.
Simple. No mystery here.

[@steincheers6031]

Agreed

[@leonnarzilarra8510]

Forgive my ignorance, but what is a magnatron? Also what purpose would they be used for in these structures?

[@progressivehardindustrialslug]

@@leonnarzilarra8510 Magnatrons make power. Cheaply.
Like a huge version of the old world tractors later used as founded items by traveling circuses for power generation (in limp mode).
Only not portable.
It's illegal to reinvent them.
You'll be unalived quickly.
Lotsa youtube vids.
Old world gazebos held magnatrons.
Later peoples used them as bandstands like idiots.

[@theyrekrnations8990]

no more vid games for you

[@progressivehardindustrialslug]

@@theyrekrnations8990 I don't play games. Of any sort.
I just study the ancient past.
So I know stuff that sounds crazy.

[@RussLinzmeier]

the roof is thin and wavy and the foundation is very irregular .

[@101519e]

Built long before the Roman Empire.

[@stevenhall4444]

But does it still stand in 2024?

[@scottnyc6572]

If it’s constructed of Greek marble then it can be traced back to Ancient Greece.Greek mythology was the mouth of truth.We just need the mouth of debate.

[@PUPPYBONZ]

Is the other building next to it related ? PORTUNUS

[@Scouseviking1990]

We have some old building here in my city Liverpool uk 🇬🇧 that look like Roman buildings

[@user-zv9xe2pj9v]

Temple of Vesta

[@Terrysteele401]

Built by Greeks. Hercules was Greek.
Also The renaissance was a scam.
