A lot of these ancient civilizations were much more advanced than we have given them credit for. It goes to show perhaps we aren't as smart as we think ourselves to be. Thank you for the excellent video. 😊😊😊❤❤❤

[Pranav-ek]

[michaelversant]

WTF, the fact he started out by showing some roman stadium is outrageous! With all the way older amazing structures in the world im guessing it's based on who gave the most funding :)

2:42 no freakin way are they temples built with stone tools, absolutely impossible to cut those megalithic blocks so petfectly with tools like that

[lajjbee]

Indonesia- it's a shri Chakra, which existed long before Buddha in Hinduism

[prasantapathak]

Ankorvat is missing. Otherwise the vdo is quite informative.

[gutch]

Borobudur is not a temple. It’s a Buddhist monument.

[WATL]

The Kailasha Temple blows all of these away. It shouldn't have been possible way back when. It would be damn near impossible today. And with nothing but hand I just can't see it.

[jackery_ak]

The borobudur is the largest temple in Indonesia and yes I live in Indonesia

[KxngEst]

45 hundred years ago and your saying that’s older then the Pyramid lolol !! Someone needs more research

[shannonkeys]

Did you know the architects and the builders that built and designed roman buildings were Syrian slaves
