It always blows my mind that humans built this without the help of computers or heavy machinery, even more impressive is its location on top of that, utterly fascinating!
Its not made by humas, ordinary men but of angels and glorified saints. it was a part of the Millenial Kingdom of Christ -th-cam.com/video/vVQWAZ2pNL0/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=ExploringTartaria
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!
One of Intrigued Minds best episodes. Fascinating. Love the history of Mont St Michel. Almost impossible to believe all that occurred at this compact site right off the Normandy coast.
My husband and I did a day trip there while we were staying in Normandy and were so glad we did. It’s magical. I can’t imagine how beautiful it would be during Christmas.
How have I never heard about this amazing place??? I only discovered it after researching my last name, and learning that my ancestors were from Normandy...then I looked up where Normandy is located, and found this beautiful abbey! I wonder if any of my ancestors helped to create this place, or if any of them actually lived there in the past!
Muy lindo y explicativo video. Estuve ahi a principio de este año, y me emociona incluso ver la ventana de mi habitación del hotel, que nos dio hermosas vistas de este increíble lugar. Gracias por mostrarlo de esa manera.
What is most amazing is that the UK has a similar castle isolated at high tide, close to the coast with a causeway that allows access during low tide, and has the exact same name after translation "St Michaels Mount" located in Marizion Cornwall, coincidence ?
I would love to see a video about the submerged villages in the Netherlands. Specifically Bonnemede in the area known as Zeeland in southwestern Netherlands.
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
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
@@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.
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.
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.
the greatest architects the greatest philosophers and the greatest artists that ever lived... all Catholic. no denying this truth. (un less you hate infidels)
The TRUE wonder of this place is the universal inability to see the chasm that lies between reality and the story of this dark age construction. Realistically speaking however, just visible site by itself, is beyond magnificent. The site work for your walmart parking lot would've been a near impossible feat, according to this supposed time frame. Please don't take my word for it, Im just some internet goofball, instead go ask your local excavation outfit about the necessary site work for a small castle atop an igneous intrusion 200ish feet above sea level out on an island. Cheers!
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.
At :27 The skies can not possibly look more ominously creepy -- thanks to weather modification projects to ... uh ... oh yeah, that's right, to Save the earth. Yikes, man.
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!
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.
your butchered pronunciations of nearby names over there unfavourably casts Britons...why not download a multi-lingual dictionary app equipped with audio functions, e.g. .....

I've been there twice. First time with my parents in 1980. I must go again. Thanks.
Been there 3 times, and really enjoyed your detailed presentation, which made me love the Mont St. Michel even more. Thank you 🙏 et merci beaucoup!🤗🇧🇪
Amazing place certainly. Thanks for watching

Thanks for sharing information about this intriguing, historical site.
Beautiful. We walked there and took the boat back. Restaurant is lovely.
Disney animators must have been inspired enough to add this little town to "Tangled'.
Although Intrigued Mind has seen that movie numerous times, we never put two and two together. Thanks for pointing it out!
Thank you for posting,
Kudos for perfect and organic French/Italian pronunciations!
For a scottish gentleman, we think he did a great job!
Is this comment ironic?
@@cj4631 The contrary
Presumptuous
My children and I love your presentation! Thank you!😇
Thanks for watching. Have plenty of other interesting videos if you care to check them out!
I smashed that like button!
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.

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!
UK also has its Saint Michael's Mount √
We Michaels got around in the old days.
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
this is the ultimate zombie apocalyps fortress, secured by sea but with land acces depending on the tides and unlimited acces to sea.
Excellent 👌 Video...Thanks...
Thanks. Watch some other videos and let us know if you have something you want us to dive into.
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ God bless you more Amazing Church building
Mt Saint Michel u are in my mind for a while now🦄💖
Pretty amazing place. Thanks for watching
I just discovered this channel and watched the magnificent episode. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent presentation
Thanks for watching!
It's great. I was there. Lots of hiking.
Been here in 2010. Amazing place!
Yeah, it is pretty amazing. Hope you enjoyed the video
This has to be Tolkien's inspiration for Minas Tirith.
I would love to see a video about the submerged villages in the Netherlands. Specifically Bonnemede in the area known as Zeeland in southwestern Netherlands.
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

Great video and i love how you talk 👍🏼🔥
What's the name of the background music?
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!
anyone knows the music in the background?
Very Impressive
Was there 3 times
Ready for 4
Lucky you! Keep an eye out for our upcoming video on St. Michael's Mount in Britain, another beautiful, intriguing monastery on a rock.
How about a video on the walled city of Vannes?
We will look into it!
@@IntriguedMind And of course Guedelon castle! medieval castle in construction since the 90s! and then Carcassone cité.
Yet we build things today that crumble in 100 years
Amazing
Beautiful.
I love the info in this video, but some of the photos are not ones of le Mnt St. Michel. 😢
still dont know the name of the background music :(
I’m sorry I don’t know and have not been able to get in touch with the video editor who put that in
I’ve always wanted to go there but I don’t think I’ll ever be able to afford the trip. 😢
interesting. I should learn more about Unesco world heritage sites.
A good place to start: whc.unesco.org/en/list/
Been there 2016 love it so wonderful
Is there a way to create a more thorough detailed documentary about its history
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
You are saying facade wrong.
Would be interested in its history prior to that

Isn't a similar place in England?
There is and we did a video on it!

A few hours ago this place would have seemed a dream, after watching " the impossible " movie, I will never live by the Sea.
Planing of going there this summer any one here can give us tip not expensive hotel to stay and restaurant eat.
DOES IT CLOSE? Are people free to just wonder all night till morning?
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
How many people live in village of Mont Saint Michel? 30?
From what I can find there are 44 inhabitants of the Mont
@@IntriguedMind 5 years ago
@@IntriguedMind now is 30 inhabitants.
Pravo Bozje cudo na zemlji
My family has something to do with this abbey, but I have yet to discover when. Caretakers, I've been told. My first and last name come from here.
Very interesting. Have you ever been?
@@IntriguedMind Not yet. If I can get out of Canada this summer I plan on it.
Beautiful and intriguing place. It’s tiresome to climb all those stairs but beautiful when you get to the top! Just gorgeous
Glad you got to visit!
I’ve been there 3 times, including in my late 50’s, and never found the stairs tiresome. 🧐 🤸🏼
2:56 there is a cat on his head!
So what this tells me is that this chappel is a referbished version of something much older than the 7th centuary date given.?!?
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.

I can hear the ACB theme
Before this, it was a mega tree cut down.
708 CE?! What the heck is CE?! Do you mean AD??
CE has been used for a long time by historians to denote Common Era as opposed to the AD for Anno Domini

Check Kotor in Montenegro out. Worth the material.
We will take a look, thanks for bringing it to my attention
Beautiful just an architectural diamond. There's got to be rats though. Plumbing is probably a nightmare. Where does the trash go?

This place puts King’s Landing to shame.
Agreed but much less of a city. King's Landing was actually shot in Dubrovnik, Croatia which is another amazing place
so you need to fix, you state it was built on a Island but it was not an Island when it was Built. Sea rise and erosion has brought the sea to it
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.
