Secrets of Mont St Michel 

💯

Pretty amazing isn't it. Thanks for watching

Its not made by humas, ordinary men but of angels and glorified saints. it was a part of the Millenial Kingdom of Christ -ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vVQWAZ2pNL0.html&ab_channel=ExploringTartaria

I was about to write a smart ass comment, than realized it blew my mind too when I actually thought about it.

It’s very impressive in person! I got to go there in August. It was a surprise from my mom who lives in Germany and has a sister in Paris. Needless to say, I was speechless!

Glad you enjoyed it. More great content to come.

Amazing place certainly. Thanks for watching

Normandy is a very beautiful region ! Don't hesitate to visit it ! :)

Thanks for watching!

For a scottish gentleman, we think he did a great job!

Is this comment ironic?

@@cj4631 The contrary

Presumptuous

Thanks for watching. Have plenty of other interesting videos if you care to check them out!

Although Intrigued Mind has seen that movie numerous times, we never put two and two together. Thanks for pointing it out!

Thanks!

This sounds like a Simon Whistler channel comment lol. If you know you know if not then totally ignore. I mean it nicely haha.

Thanks. Watch some other videos and let us know if you have something you want us to dive into.

Thanks for watching!

Pretty amazing place. Thanks for watching

Yeah, it is pretty amazing. Hope you enjoyed the video

Intrigued Mind is going to look into Saint Michael's Mount. Keep creating amazing places Michaels of the world!

no comparison possible the original french saint michel is just too beautiful

Gracias por tu vista

Lucky you! Keep an eye out for our upcoming video on St. Michael's Mount in Britain, another beautiful, intriguing monastery on a rock.

I will look into it. In the meantime we have done a fair amount of videos on sunken towns in the U.S. if you are interested

We will have to look into it! Thanks for the heads up

We did a video on it if you remain interested. Thanks for watching.

@@IntriguedMind Awesome, ill check it out 🙂

Certainly it is a coincidence. EVERYONE knows, if there was any relation at all, history would most assuredly include it.

I've thought of that for years, but no answer found yet!

A good place to start: whc.unesco.org/en/list/

Fun story I am sure

It is a pretty amazing place. Check out our video on St. Michael’s Mount in England for a lesser known but equally intriguing and magical place to visit.

We will look into it!

@@IntriguedMind And of course Guedelon castle! medieval castle in construction since the 90s! and then Carcassone cité.

Prior to what exactly? Happy to look into it.

@@IntriguedMind I believe that the previous comment referred to the era, before the 6th century ! It is said that '' Mount Tombe'' was totally surrounded by the Scissy' forest , where the 5th century' population of the area and earlier believed and worshiped the God Mithra , the mediator ! Mithra was born from a ''rock'' ! Mithra became a ''Sun'' god, brought by the Romans. Sacrifices were done in Scissy forest. When Aubert sent to Gorgano , two clerics , they brought back with them a piece of marble where Michael the Archangel is said to have walked upon ; including, a very small piece of his bright cloak/cape. Less than a year, after their return, it is said that God punished the Scissy forest population, the forest suddenly disappeared beneath the water and ''' Mount Tombe'' became an island. The shrubs/trees all disappeared from the mount ! ( possibly ... an earth quake, an inundation/cataclysm or natural engulfment ) !? Pilgrimages then started....

@@RayB1656 Wow, thanks for this insight. There are so few records post-Roman in the 5th and 6th century Northern France (and elsewhere). It was very common for Christianity to utilize pagan locations of worship to found churches, monasteries etc. to build upon the existing religious foundations of a location and populace.

@@IntriguedMind I agree with you. Numerous ancient Greek, Roman sites, including Gaul, were converted to churches. An excellent example, is Saintes (Xaintes) in western France. Touching the stones at the base of the church , you realized immediately this is different and provides a rare impression/feeling, especially seeing the date, 410 A.D. With my wife, we visited three times Mont St Michel ( I am not from France) something to discover .... each time, especially at night , surrounded by the sea ! Finally, the Scissy / Quokelunde forest' story comes from Brittany where, it is said that around 709...a major natural disaster occurred. Probably the name comes from the Celtic goddess Sessia and a Celtic Sessia monument was probably on the rock. And, possibly, Chausey, Guernesey, Jersey do have the same root as Sessia I have enjoyed your video , thank you for the exchange of ideas.

Glad you got to visit!

I’ve been there 3 times, including in my late 50’s, and never found the stairs tiresome. 🧐 🤸🏼

There is and full length documentiaries are certainly out there, but we tried to get in as much as we could in a 10 minute video. In the meantime, check out our video on the Marquis de Tombelaine, an interesting postscript to the Mont St. Michel video

Very interesting. Have you ever been?

@@IntriguedMind Not yet. If I can get out of Canada this summer I plan on it.

I am not sure. I no longer work with the video editor who put this together but I’ll try to find out

@@IntriguedMind Thank you!

I’m sorry I don’t know and have not been able to get in touch with the video editor who put that in

There is and we did a video on it! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ETH20iKXTvM.html

We will take a look, thanks for bringing it to my attention

We did a video on that too. Saint Michaels Mount. Check it out!

Kind of a hard thing to tell what "the original structure" is. Have to pick a point in time, as the true original structure is essentially buried underneath everything. Thanks for watching.

We will look into it.

I believe you can. You cannot go in the abbey, but on the streets at night

@@IntriguedMind What is the Abbey?

@@justinkrann7406 the large building

@@IntriguedMind what is it?

@@justinkrann7406 an abbey is where the monks historically lived. It is the name for a building where monks live

they had several chappel/churches, you can still see the old ones under the new ones but you can't visit it everyday (passages are quite narrow)

Geologists reveal the oldest construction was in fact the original construction, and it was carved underground in the granite bedrock however the archeologists funded to conduct said research, insist it was an above ground construction and everything surrounding it was brought in after.

From what I can find there are 44 inhabitants of the Mont

@@IntriguedMind 5 years ago

@@IntriguedMind now is 30 inhabitants.

Agreed but much less of a city. King's Landing was actually shot in Dubrovnik, Croatia which is another amazing place

From the official website: The Mont Saint-Michel is a real French commune, with a mayor, a priest, a postman, municipal policemen, and even waste services. In total, there are around twenty Montois residents, plus a small community of cats! My guess is garbage is brought ashore via causeway, there is plumbing run ashore, and maybe the cats take care of the rats!

Intrigued Mind thinks its a beautiful sunset

CE has been used for a long time by historians to denote Common Era as opposed to the AD for Anno Domini

No. I live not far away and learnt a lot about the mount, it was built during the law tide time of the day, but this was an island even 2000 years ago.

Is so bad that have 2.000 years and millions of tourists 🤦🤦🤦🤦

Jack Chick I thought you was dead.

As seeing you trying to type out proper english. Geez.. Get over yourself.
