    For those who are interested in the topic of polygonal masonry. A number of methods for obtaining the polygonal masonry are proposed. The basis of the proposed methods is the use of clay/gypsum replicas, a topography translator, and reduced clay models of the stone blocks along with a 3D-pantograph. The results are presented in the article: “Fabrication methods of the polygonal masonry of large tightly-fitted stone blocks with curved surface interfaces in megalithic structures of Peru”.

    Its amazing how similar the empires/governance/religion in the Americas were to those in the rest of the world, and yet there are huge differences as well.

    These are the best history videos I've ever found on TH-cam, keep up the amazing work! I'd like to suggest the Ottoman Empire, Edo Japan, the Mughal Empire, Carthage, the Maori, the Kievan Rus, the Iroquois Confederation, Roman Italy, and the Mongol Empire as possible episode ideas

    • @NuNugirl
      @NuNugirl 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      I’m interested in the Algonquin Confederation because they were living in my Town. The Tappan Zee Bridge was named for the Tappan Tribe and the Dutch word for Sea, Zee. Coumo changed the name of the bridge to the Governor Mario Coumo Bridge. We refuse to call it that.

    I stumbled onto these podcasts a few months ago and they have been my escapist salvation in a world seemingly in the midst of its own fall. Thanks so much for the gift of compassionate historical storytelling. You continue to prove the adage that the truth is often stranger (and more fascinating) than fiction.

  • @pachitorex666

    Thank you for your podcasts. I listened to the one about the Mexica aka 'aztecs.' Amazing work. This one about the Inca is also mesmerizing. I am a native Mexican from Tenochtitlan, aka Mexico City. I happen to be from Azcapotzalco, where Tezozomoc used to live with his Tepanec empire. I don't know if it's just me but a lot of emotions surface up when I listen to these podcasts between anger, pain, sadness, and wonder as to why these events happened the way they did. In my mind sometimes I imagine the Mexica empire and the Inca one making contact and creating an alliance that would have been magnificent to witness. Thank you for your amazing work. 🙏

    Please do the fall of Persia (under the Muslim conquest) this is one of the most dramatic cases of Fall of Civilizations. The fate of Zoroastrian faith and its miraculous refuge in India is one of the chapters of this amazing story.

      @Manichaean: I second the motion. If you haven't already, you might enjoy reading Gore Vidal's 1981 book "Creation". I just 'lived' in that book for about 2 weeks. It's a long historical novel that takes place during the time of Darius and Xerxes.
