Nice video! I went inside this museum years ago. Last time I went in October 2022 I just walked around the outside. The Zocalo is one of my favorite places in Mexico City.
Thank you for your kind comment about our video Leslie, the Zocalo is a favorite of ours too. We did smell a lot of marijuana when we were there. Not a plus or a minus for us just something we noticed. -Marc
Very lovely video. I visited the Templo Mayor about 20 years ago. Mark, your pronunciation is getting better every day. You actually said "Tenochtitlan"! Just remember, A's are always pronounced ah. I really love your videos. My mother was raised in SLP so I've spent many many summers there. And I LOVE Mexico City! What fun you both must be having!
Hi Jean, We love living in SLP. Mexico City is a real treat to visit. We'll be going back again, we didn't get to see and do everything we wanted to do. Thank you for your kind complement about my pronunciation (i'm a work in progress as far as that goes). When was the last time you were in SLP and do you plan on coming back? -Marc
@@TheTwoTravelersInMexico I was there for 3 days in Nov 2022 for Dia de los Muertos. It had been 7 years before that. I plan to be back (if God permits) but I'm not sure when. Thanks for your kind response.
I had no idea that this was in CDMX, so cool and you said that they are still excavating! The artifacts are wonderful and very interesting, and the fact that this temple is in the middle of a very large city is astounding.
I was there last May, I spoke to an employee there and yes they are still discovering things. Its insane. I was lucky enough to go on a day where there was hardly anyone so I was able to soak it all in. My imagination was high haha just thinking how life must have been back in those days. And the view of the cathedral from there is picturesque.
@@porfiriato84 Yeah, we could see covered areas where they were still digging. Uncovering tings is a long process, it wil go on for many years there i think. -Marc
Would love to see this. I do get the flash photography thing, but I'm curious about the videography (especially if it was with a cell phone). Thanks for the tour!
A lot of museums are like that. No flash photography and no video. It's a mystery to me as to why you can't shoot video. I have seen people shooting video in places where they said you can't shoot video but i don't because it's a privilege to be there and I respect the rules.

@@TheTwoTravelersInMexico What one sees in China, Cambodia, Peru, Egypt, etc. makes one think that they MUST have had equipment to undertake such massive tasks. I don't care what modern archeologists try to claim. It's all too much super human activity.
Very cool, the artifacts are amazing! Thanks guys. ☮️❤️😎
You're very welcome Pammy. -Marc

Just don't do what we did and go to a bar from those people yelling out the window to come inside. Complete ripoff 🤦🏽♂️
@@porfiriato84 We've heard that. Great advice Khobe. -Marc
3:07 what is this Beautiful carving?? Im in love with it. I bet it would make for a lovely Lunoleum Block print!
Yes it would. -Marc

Hi Cindy, if you're in CDMX it's worth checking out. There are so many amazing museums to check out. -Marc

How you been to go en Mexico City Mexico
Yes, that’s where the Templo mejor is. Marc
Who can imagine constructed these things without machinery? Incredible.
It must have been amazing to watch how it was constructed. almost beyond the scope of imagination. -Marc

@@dovygoodguy1296 They did have a form of hydraulics back then. -Marc
Nice, although most of that music is from Spain, and maybe the Aztecs wouldn't have liked that music.
Your probably right. I use a lot of flamenco music. Thank you for watching and commenting. -Marc
Often these discoveries happen by accident!
Very true. Thanks for watching and commenting. -Marc
