Secrets Hidden Inside Mountains - Part 1

Let's check out some secrets hidden inside mountains!

Legal Stuff.

I've traveling to Peru starting in the mid 1990's. The entire country is filled with mystery and unexpected buildings from centuries back. There are many civilizations that exist under the canopy of the jungle, overgrown or eroded for the most part. The people of Peru's jungles are amazing and as you get to know them you can find hints of their connections to their ancestors. It is a country well worth visiting. Leave your reality at home and experience theirs. Close your laptop, get into the real world, then you will understand the sadness of rainforest destruction.

The location and difficulty of building Kropfenstein Castle shows how dangerous the world must have been in the 13th century to go so far as to be impenetrable.

If you ever visit Cholula Puebla, make sure you visit the tunnels of the pyramid... Yep, they are open for the public.

As a Girl Scout back in the late 60’s our troupe were taken in the room a top Mt Rushmore. We saw where the records were supposed to go. We also were taken to the top of The monument. Today they both are off limits 😮

I am truly fascinated by this kind of stuff. I lived in the Kansai Japan for 14 years. The area is dotted with ancient tombs called kofun. They are all over Japan but because of it's historical importance, Kansai has a lot of them. There's one in Sakai, Osaka (the Daisen Kofun) that's also one of the largest structures in the world. They are made of stone, many in the shape of a giant keyhole with a moat. Because people haven't been allowed on them for 1500+ years they accumulated dirt and now look like hills covered in trees. You can still see the ancient stonework if you look at the base near the water-line of the moats. I've even seen the actual tomb of Queen Himiko (of Tomb Raider fame) in Sakurai, Nara. It's not as big as some, but impressive all the same. Legend has it that 1000 of her retainers were buried with her. I had a friend who worked for the Nara National Museum that helped with restoration work on the Takamatsuzuka Kofun in Asuka, Nara (note 3 names of major periods of Japanese history in that sentence). That whole area is full of history and ancient folklore. The remains of ancient capitols, temples and shrines are really concentrated in the area. I hiked up to the ruins of a mountain castle (Takatori-jo) that looks like stepping into an Indiana Jones movie, hiked on old roads through the forests and countryside, and even saw some old ninja enclaves in Iga and Yagyu.

In Xi'an China is the tomb of the first Qin emperor (who commissioned the Great Wall). It's where the famous terracotta army comes from. The mountain-like tomb itself is massive, unexcavated, and is said to contain a massive relief map of his empire complete with bodies of water made of mercury. Ironic considering mercury probably played a big roll in his demise (he drank it as a tonic).

Europe is dotted with neolithic sites, many of those being burial mounds. I've been to Newgrange and nearby Knowth and Dowth. They were ancient when the pyramids of Egypt were brand new. There's one in Britain that's so old that archaeologists found a skull inside with a stalagmite growing around it. I can't remember the name or exact location of that one. Maybe someone else who reads this will know.

Videos like this remind me that there are sooo many more places I want to go to, see, and experience for myself and provides me with more motivation to do so. Trouble is, I'd have to live as long as some of these places are old to see enough.

25:37 Simple answer: They were “hauled up” BEFORE the sand was added! Likely it was lifted and mounted then the same ropes used to get the coffin up were used to raise buckets of sand to whomever was in charge of making sure it was mounted properly. They dumped the sand in and sent the empty bucket back down for more until they were satisfied with the amount.

I visited Mount Rushmore 5 years ago. It's a pretty cool place, although, you can't get close to it because of the falling pebbles and rocks. You're only able to view from a distance, but it's still a cool view.

In Scotland we have a belief that king Henry and his mates are in the eldions that’s in Melrose uk and when something like a war they will come out from a door or a hole and help us

This channel is pure gem
mad respect to the whole team working to entertain us.

The Rocky church that is on the thumbnail is Lalibela, An ancient church carved from one stone, such an incredible historic figure

[magnusatheos]

In behind the Predjama castle, in the same mountain is one of the most spectacular caves you will ever experience.

[lettuce]

The second one is pretty cool and, the fact that it’s ‘haunted’ makes it even cooler!

I expected to be disappointed in this video after many YouTube's put clickbait titles but I'm glad to say that I wasn't. Keep doing what you do Mr.BeAmazed guy!

In Colorado there are still a few places where the mine equipment placed on the sheer walls of the mountain cliffs a 130 years ago, is still in place. They would build out wooden terraces inorder to mine the gold and silver veins directly. Most of the mines don't show any sign they exist from the outside and nobody has been inside them for over 100 years. Literally a goldmine of history waiting to be found.

13:00 Surprised you never mentioned the Stargate Series (SG1), which used Cheyenne Mountain Complex as their base of operations (even mention it by name and use footage of the entrance in the series)
especially right after doing the whole doorway to another world thing with the Gate of the Gods...
oh well...

[albertfrancis]

You know damn well as soon as they found out about that hidden cave entrance near Machu pichu they denied its excavation just so they could secretly be the ones to do so!

[zerostager]

Anyone else think this man's voice is so damn calming?

Cheyenne Mountain has an interesting side aspect while I was stationed below it at Ft. Carson, Colo. On an adjacent peak there used to be a high class resort hotel. A few army buddies and myself climbed that mountain [sometimes used the road]. and finding ourselves at the top with nightfall coming on ... we were accommodated by the staff for the evening. Lesson learned: Never climb mountains without proper equipment and certainly NOT wearing combat boots of the period. I got stuck on a rock outcrop and just about fell. Prayer is a wonderful thing. It always gets listened to.

He paid off student loans with 2 million dollars. NOTHING else about the REST of the treasure. Humm, sounds like the TRUTH! 🥴🤣

[trendyinsight]

That Military base complex is just insanely crazy!
