    I’ve been to China many times, and been to a few temples on large hills/mountains as a tourist, the heat and the effort in climbing the steps really takes the energy from you, it’s mind boggling that places like this can be built.

      @@izzyizzm8761 Most cultures venerate high and large places. To the point that humans even build their own if there aren't any. If a culture stumbles upon one that's already there, they're probably going to venerate it.

    It would be scary going up, but the scariest coming down. I m always amazed that the landscape actually looks like it does. Just seeing the classic paintings it seemed the views were being highly exaggerated and no place could look like a Roger Dean painting.

  • @davomontgomeryda3rd
    @davomontgomeryda3rd 3 года назад +3

    At 3:40 the depiction of that emperor in the old artwork... the emperor seems to be depicted as a giant, he is of a larger size then everyone else. There’s a ever growing amount of evidence in the ancient record that makes a strong case for the kings, emperors, royals & rulers of the distant past being giants &/or descendants of giants/ had a direct bloodline or family lineage to giants... which may also tie in to the whole notion of royals/ rulers possessing the divine right to be rulers. Which may also help account for the mind bendingly advanced ancient megalithic constructions around the world, that were erected on such a massive, gigantic scale... doorways, hallways, corridors, columns stair steps, etc. that seem to have been built to accommodate ancient people of a gigantic stature. .
