You've managed to conflate the tower of Babel story in the Bible with the tower of Jericho. Two completely different things.

The Pantheon...like wow, how insanely smart were the engineers of that time to build the hole that works with rain instead of rain against it, perfection!

Around 0:55, when you are discussing the site of "Mehrgarh, " the image shown is actually from the dig site of Caesaria Philippi, known more specifically as Banias, in far norther Israel The picture was taken about 100 yards south of the parking lots from the site, about a quarter mile from Kibbutz Snir. The arches in the background are very distinctive--I participated in the archaeological dig at this site in 1997, about 10 yards from where this picture was taken.

I was taking a leisurely and undirected walk around Rome and happened upon the Pantheon. I almost had a heart attack. It was magnificent...and I still treasure the moment.

The thumbnail picture shows the Porta Nigra but it's not shown in the video!

While interesting, very misleading title. Most are ruins, not buildings that are STILL STANDING.

This takes "standing" to a whole new meaning. Last time I checked ruins Burried underground doesn't quite mean standing

[roseannecomaskey]

You forgot Newgrange, North, and Douth in Ireland. 😢

It was not the tower of Jericho that was built to reach god, but the Tower of Babel!

the most amazing thing about the Pantheon is that the light from the hole at the top will shine on the front doors once a year - on the day believed to be the anniversary of the founding of Rome.

8:53 the image of Prince Shōtoku smoking is from DeviantArt. The Prince couldn't have smoked, since tobacco wasn't introduced to Japan until the 1500s, so this is anachronistic.

Right before Christmas of 1991, my wife and I were in Rome. We went to a nighttime Christmas open air fair in the Piazza Navona that was once was the Stadium of Domitian. It started to rain, so we walked a few blocks eastward heading to the Metro station at the Colosseum but then it really started to rain. We followed some people who were going into what I thought was a large church. It actually was the Pantheon. I didn't even realize what it was until i was inside. It was amazing! And no rain was coming down from the hole in the roof even though a moment ago I was getting deluged. I stood there, looking up at the hole and amazed no rain was falling on me.

8:54 didn't know there were marlboros in the 6th century

The picture used to entice people to view the video is of the Porta Nigra, in Trier, Germany. Where is it mentioned?

[admiralbenbow]

I was at Winchester Cathedral recently, the current version of which has been in use for about 900 years. you think, Wow! Then you go to the Pantheon and its 1900 years !!

[larskoenig]

the porta nigra located in trier germany in the thumbnail wich clickbites me in here is quite old too build around the year 170 :)

[bongwelll]

Just goes to show that we don't know a very large chunk of our past history.

[Mickomadain]

No mention of the 4000BC Brun na Boynne Co Meath Ireland, the oldest building still waterproof..

[AhmadBonami]

There's a place in Yemen at Shibam Hadramout. The building there are over 700 years old and still inhabited by people it considered the first skyscrapers

[santiagocoste]

All these videos are really amazing to watch! It can be appreciated how passed civilizations lived and, the way buildings were built! These constructions trascended to be considered today and be thankful for it. They survived the inclemencias of the weathers!❤
