    TH-cam is better than TV of course, go for it. that would have been a great series and I believe the TV people would get on that too.

    Yes Ben, you should tell your stories. You have to. It’s your duty to preserve and document this stories. You have the skill and the access. Do it.

    Two words. Hell yeah! Tikal is one of the most amazing places I have ever seen.

  • @alexfrederickson1540
    @alexfrederickson1540 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Yes! Do it! Your passion for this is clear and that will make what you show us even more fascinating. Excellent work, Ben, looking forward to seeing more of these places through your eyes.

    We were in Tikal last February, along with Copan and numerous other Mayan sites. Mind blowing beautiful countries. If they can get their act together politically and economically Mezo-America will be a major tourist destination. I used a Leica Q2 M for most of it because of the monochromatic nature of the sites but I really liked you color work here. Well done!

    • @adventureStaley
      @adventureStaley  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      🙏🏼🙏🏼 totally agree. And thank you very much!

  • @TheVicLopez
    @TheVicLopez 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Dude, that was great! That place is absolutely on my to visit list.
    The idea of an archaeology channel sounds great, I'd definitely be onboard with that.

  • @eugeneBai
    @eugeneBai 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Yes, Yes, Yes! We definitely need your amazing series in archeology!!! 🔥 Movies and social media is absolutely crap nowadays... Documentary series, adventure and new discoveries, a new fresh view on absolutely everything is what everyone needs now!

  • @photo818
    @photo818 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    YES!!!! Please make the channel and feature your series I will definitely show up and watch!!!😱 Being Mexican I am fascinated by Mayan and Aztec history and I have been fortunate to have traveled to Guatemala and visit Tikal, an incredible place but super hot and humid and thought my camera was going to melt. I’ve also been 4 times to Chichén Itzá and seen the ruins there as well as Tulum so yes please show us what you have, I’m ready for this!👍🏼

    • @adventureStaley

    Oh man, I enjoy your portrait shooting videos, but this was one of the most fascinating photography videos I've ever watched. If TH-cam offers me yet another video of a guy taking landscape shots in the UK somewhere I think I'll scream.😆 Tikal looks amazing. So YES I would love it if you did more archaeology-related videos. I've had the pleasure of seeing many ancient sites in Italy. A few years ago I became obsessed with the Etruscans, the culture that ruled central Italy for several centuries before the Romans. One can find Etruscan ruins that few people know about in the woods outside little Italian towns. Look up the "Etruscan pyramid," for example. Anyway, thanks for giving us this video and I hope you'll do more like it.

    • @adventureStaley
      @adventureStaley  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      OOOOO I'm checking that out! Italy is my favorite country so this is awesome! Thank you!

  • @bugsybunny398
    @bugsybunny398 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Yes, and yes. Please do it. Please make a short film and submit it to the film festival circuit and a TH-cam series. These stories need to be told much more than celebrity fantasy lifestyles.

  • @SteveMayedaTV
    @SteveMayedaTV 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    FIRST - you shot all that (or most) with the S5iix and a 35mm? That’s pretty great.
    SECOND - I’d definable watch your TH-cam. The more archeology the better. But as you know that’s a ton of work, I hope that it can get popular on TH-cam. That is one heavy passion project.
    Thanks for creating!!!

    • @adventureStaley
      @adventureStaley  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      FIRST - YEP!
      SECOND - Thank you!

    Awesome place...Not very crowded like the Chichen Itza.....YES!!! WOW I want to see more of that guy!!!! Ben your channel is way underrepresented by the algorithm. Everyone tell your friends to come to this channel. This content is in orbit! Go Ben!

    With your story telling and camera skills should make a fascinating project. Learning new information and perspectives of our existence is fascinating. Best of luck 🤞

      Thanks so very much Mikey!

  • @edmontontangobar4991
    @edmontontangobar4991 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Somehow you've captured the grandeur and incredible engineering (not to mention the beauty) of Tikal like I've never seen in any other photos or video. Yeah, I'd watch a TH-cam series on archaeology!

  • @ericvelado769
    @ericvelado769 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I did a trip to Tikal in 1997. Also to Copán, Quiriguá during the same time. I'm from El Salvador, we also have some ruins like Tazumal, Cihuatán, San Andrés and Joya de Cerén. Those archeological places are worth visiting too, less tourists but nice structures. Since then, I've been in this journey of photography. Nice video!

    • @adventureStaley

    Ben, I am with you when you go far away to explore an ancient Mayan city, just as much as I am with you when you leave your house early in the morning just to penetrate the nearest horizon. I want you to know that you satisfy our curiosity by following your own when you choose generously to share your experience with us all. Archeology you ask? Go, Ben, go!

    • @adventureStaley
      @adventureStaley  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      AHHHHH.... THANKS YOU! means the world!

  • @davidleong899

    Another interesting fact is that the Maya had small wars and then they had star wars. A star war was a decisive conflict between rival polities of the Maya civilization during the first millennium AD.

    I have traveled to most of the major sites and some of the minor ones throughout Central, South America and the South West. i can't get enough. I would love to see a series as long as it didn't get weird (the aliens did it). Keep it real.

    • @adventureStaley
      @adventureStaley  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you. Real life is weird enough without getting into the far out pseudo-science. But some of it is pretty wild!

  • @iveman89
    @iveman89 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    you're gifted in so many areas and I think you need to share your stories/series! Ancient civilizations and latin American history should be shared more! Tikal is on my list and this clip makes me want to go this year! if you ever need a hand, Ill pay my way! Also does Mario have contact info? It would be amazing to go to Tikal with him

    • @adventureStaley
      @adventureStaley  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you. Means a lot. Please email me and I’ll connect you to Mario.

    I am liking what you are doing.............. would I show up for that? possibly, probably.

  • @jlaw8882
    @jlaw8882 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I'll show up for that. I am sure you are aware that these kind of docs produce quite a bit of debate. Set it up as another channel, not a sub channel of A&E.
    I would like to see an ease-up on the jump cut sequences so prevalent in documentary and reality production these days. A challenge to keep it engaging and flow the detail without "over-flashing" the viewer.

    • @adventureStaley
      @adventureStaley  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Cool. Thanks for the feedback. I actually think that the debate part is a key attractor. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

    Ben. You could sell plastic wrap on camera and I’d watch it. Why? Because you inspire and ignite.

    • @adventureStaley

      Haha! Thanks so much! Means a lot man.
