@@dirkdiggler2430 while yes there's certainly beauty in the architecture of today, I'd argue "Ancient Architecture" not only looks far more beautiful than what we have today... I'd argue it's far better built, I mean... it's still standing 🤷‍♂️

@pHixiq Год назад

@@aurawolf2221 wouldn’t go as far to say it was built better. It’s the fact they were built out of almost completely raw material. On that same note, almost ALL of ancient buildings are destroyed now. Prettier ? I can see that.

@AndersonNeo12 Год назад

Dear WM, this is a awesome list & good video 🤩 sadly the title doesn't really suit the clip, cause there is not enough "what they used look.." in this top 10 😼 Ps: please do a sequel (there are a lot of sites) to this video with more "what they used to look like" clips and add the Gladiator Colosseum in Rome.

@TheNylter Год назад

I recommend looking into Caral, Peru. It's fascinating because it's a pre-pottery city that thrived by thousands of miles of trade without beasts of burden, and had no military defense.

The reason I want to see the Great Wall is because of Spiro the Dragon on PS1. The One place I WOULD LOVE TO VISIT is Petra in Jordan. Indiana Jones made sure of that.

Easter Island, aka Rapa Nui would be my pick if I could time travel. I’d love to know who built the Moai and why they did it

@GG-ng6zm Год назад

it’s much older than archaeologists think because of how deep they’re buried. It would take at least 8000 years for the statues to sink down to their necks

@DiscGoStu Год назад

@@GG-ng6zm Absolutely. I don’t trust most dates provided by mainstream archaeology. When I was there the locals all said it’s older than everyone thinks and they all had their own theories…unfortunately I think we’ll never know for sure

I want to go back to visit Konark, Odisha, India at its full glory. It was built in 12th Century dedicated to Sun God. Built over 12 years by 1200 craftsmen is the best example of Odisha's best stone craftsmanship. Said to build near the sea shore. It is built as a Rath or chariot of Sun God with 24 wheels representing 24 hours of a day each wheel works as a Sun dial, 7 horses representing 7 days of a week and was said to be the tallest temple of Kaligan or Nagar style Architecture. Now only the front is preserved and the main temple collapsed due to many invasions and erosion. It is a magnificent piece of work..each stone in the temple has intricate carvings with people dancing, trees, war and gods..

@lonesoul663 Год назад

If people throughout the centuries had actually cared more about preserving history then many of these ruins today would appear like they did in their heyday. It's a shame. The Pantheon is Rome is probably the best example of a completely intact ancient structure. Even if it was converted into a Christian church.

At least we can’t blame how Rome and Athens looks due to modern war. The Allies were pretty careful in not bombing historic sites. I’m friends with a B17 pilot who is still sharp as an axe and he said they were given strict orders not to bomb the Cologne cathedral.
