Not made of mud but a mud flood surviving city, if you know you know, no need for a BS narrative

I met a man from Lebanon once and he couldn’t believe we used wood to build condos six floors high. “How does it stand?”

Your audio quality has improved, but the volume of this video's audio is too low. I had to double my system volume, and I still didn't even know that this video had music until I saw the description, and rewatched with my volume at max.

I love your content, I enjoy your presentation, and I appreciate how diligent you are with sourcing all of the information you provide. I hope this channel keeps taking off, and reaches an even greater audience. Keep doing what you're doing.

You mean red bricks? And Holy Crap GTfO out of here!! one of the most beautiful "pockets of survivial" I have seen so far!! INCREDIBLE...and tartarian without a doubt. It wasn't built by whatever people live there now....it was built by tartarians, 90% of this stuff was

Wow a city made of mud is safe?
This would be way too much maintenance consistantly repairing the walls. Just switch to rock all ready. Incredible that a mud building could stand 11 stories tall! Never thought I would say that I want to visit Yemen now.

Suggestion: Don't post videos at 1:45 am EST and post on a Saturday since you are doing once a month. You can schedule the time of an upload on YouTube. Instead of clicking public, click schedule and make the video upload between 2-3 pm EST on a Saturday so it can be watched both in America and Europe when it comes out as well as letting YT filter out notifications.

So the walled city went from a place riddled with disease and crime to a beautiful park? Wow. And there's an arcade themed after it in Japan

[ayeeeeeeee]

Who cut down the giant trees?? I see the giant tree stumps disguises mountains

[markpetersen]

Interesting that in the last few shots there were clearly buildings of the Tartarian architecture…

[GeographyWorld]

They have mud skyscrapers yet Ireland has none at all.

A little more in depth detailed info would be nice .

Man I thought this was relating to the mud flood research ?!! Bummer

Those large buildings are incredible for their times but not every large building is a sky scraper.
Sky scrapers have usually a high of 150 meters.
The Romans built houses up to six stories high. But there is a reason that most of their buildings had a maximum of four stories. Everything higher is not very practical ta walk. You can see it in city's like Berlin, Germany. Since most houses doesn't have elevators they are not higher then 4 stories.

It’s supposed to be about mud skyscrapers not a whole bunch of other cities

[theman]

The colonists makes it look as if the ancient build straw huts & tents & cannot believe there eyes to see high rise building of mud and stones, this was what they saw!
