Thankyou for adding the text telling us what we are looking at. Too many similar channels just show the photographs with nothing to denote what they are or when they were taken.

To stand in those places. To bear witness. Takes my breath away. The enormity of it and the humanity of it at the same time.
I do not have the words today, but it is a profound thing to SEE history. We are living in history every day.
Never see the likes of this history again.

Thank you for sharing. Appreciate the music with the photos. My mom and dad saw the Mexican ruins. The ones I find fascinating are the Middle Eastern temples, pillars and such. Otherworldly. Meticulous work. Thanks again.

[patticriss]

I had never even heard of the elephant rock, I believe it was. Amazing how little we actually see before we die ourselves.

[TaneKarnes]

In reading the comments, many of us have not heard of some of these sites. The complexity and size is blowing my mind. Stone tools, indeed! 🤔

[MarioHache-sj]

Wow that's is amazing and magnificent ❤

[ivanbarbosa]

How os it possible to carve something so precious. They should've been more advanced philosophically than any other known culture.the library of Alexandria should've been a gem

4:50 those pillars look melted.
This is really reminding me of a being dropped.
I’ve always wondered if that’s a history we have hidden…..maybe we are just repeating history, and hiding that fact each time.
Maybe there’s a a greater plan….a time limit on earth that we are not told about

How the human soul expresses itself EVERYWHERE. What an EPIC reel! 🌟
