Surprising Facts About Ancient Landmarks

Historic landmarks have been attracting tourists for hundreds - in some cases, thousands - of years. Monuments like the Roman Colosseum, the Great Wall of China, and the Eiffel Tower are so distinct that you can probably identify them just by their silhouettes - but what do you really know about them?

@0:34 - Raiders of the Lost Ark was such a ground shaking film! So many great things (i.e. Ducktales, Muppet Babies, Legends of the Hidden Temple, etc.) were highly influenced by that film.

A+ video!
So great to hear more about those ancient landmarks!
It would be amazing to be part of something that is enjoyed a thousand years later!

I love your videos so much!!! I would recommend writing out numbers in the videos on screen to help views get a better grasp! And adding the m/km units for foreign viewers. Xoxoxo love weird history

10K a day to film doesn’t seem that bad… ever since my friend told me it was 18K a day to park his yacht at the marina I judge everything by that now…. Because that melts my mind…. And that’s not even close to most expensive place to park a yacht… and they got Angelina Jolie for that 10k/day

I have seen Stonehenge from the highway.. lol. We were on our way from London to Cardiff, and didn't have a lot of time to tour the site. We did, however, tour the gift soft and left some of our money there for souvenirs....lol

The clapping sounds like a Quetzal, an iconic bird from the area and Guatemala national bird.

It would be so cool to have some type of walking path like they built during Roman times.

@7:59 - Legos were inducted into the first year of the Toy Hall of Fame (1998).
In 2000, Legos were recognized as "Toy of the Century" TWICE, by The British Association of Toy Retailers and also Fortune Magazine. (Fox News)
Legos are also considered one of the best investments as they have consistenly kept or increased their value.

The reason steel doesn't usually get phosphorous added, is that it reduces ductability while cold working the steel, risking cracks.
