Surprising Facts About Ancient Landmarks
Historic landmarks have been attracting tourists for hundreds – in some cases, thousands – of years.

The Huns never were a threat to China. You mean the Mongols.

when the Romans had their exotic animals fight in the Collosseum- i wonder if they spared those who won or if they simply mercilessly killed them all.
I mean the Gladiator games were rarely just simple slaughtering but Gladiators were something like their ages rockstars

Even though you refer to BC (BEFORE CHRIST)as CE YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO HIDE JESUS CHRIST, WHY BECAUSE YOU CAN NEVER CHANGE THE YEARS, WE ARE IN THE YEAR OF THE LORD OF 2023!!!

The clapping sounds like a Quetzal, an iconic bird from the area and Guatemala national bird.

An iron pillar that has not rusted in 1600 years? My god! And these are the civilisations we claim didnt have tech and we are much advanced than them?
Bullshit.

At best, the Great Wall was meant to slow down enemies. Really, it was built to deliniate the border of China.

Saying the Chinese wall was built to keep out the Huns kind of undermines the educational value of the video

The "chirp" at the pyramid of kukulkan is the sound of a local bird, the resplendent quetzal, not a snake.

For the destruction that movie sets bring to an area, I would consider $10k a day very cheap for a Hollywood studio. Very Cheap. They probably paid multiple times more just for the accommodations for all of the actors/staff making the movie. Something tells me that they probably spent that much on just mundane expenses every day alone. Of course it sounds like a lot, but that would only amount to $300k a month. Movies can cost more than a couple hundred million. That is chump change.
Sources? Angelina Jolie made $7 million from the film and filming took took place from July 30 to November 30, 2000. That is 4 full months. She made 6x more in that amount of time than they would have had to pay even if every single stinking day was filmed at Angkor Wat.
I just dont think that locations price is high at all, except for maybe its CHEAP price to film there.

I got to see Petra a few months ago, it was pretty awesome to see in person. Definitely kept visualising Indiana Jones walking around haha.

Lifting a brick of the great wall is like lifting someones tombstone. Pretty sure the view and wonder of the wall are what visitors focus on, not the bodies of those who constructed it, that lay beneith their feet.

WTF BCE??? Stick this liberal oppression……
It's bad enough that we have to learn BC. In the old country, it was before our Era and after our Era.
I am dome! Bc is it. Ur feelings do not change gregorian calender.

The ancient city of Petra is located IN Modern Jordan, not 'near' Jordan.

The first temple isn't a serpent's chirp. It's a sound that sound Similar to a bird that's native, they believed it to be a incarnation/messenger(?)when its seen or heard, there god was watching.
