Hi bob I normally dont comment much but thought I'd leave one as you asked us to do so, Im a 21 year old Dutch male. And I've watched most of your videos now, Im mostly interested in classical antiquity and ancient history, I find your videos really nice as you show more images from more/better angles in higher res than what u can usually find on the internet, that backed up with the commentary and context almost makes this a virtual tour/vacation of the site/area. That still being different from being there in person, I'd still love to visit these places myself oneday and most likely will.
I appreciate the time you spent making these videos Bob, it really shows of these places better than google images ever could.
