Hello!!!!!! I love your videos so much!!! I would recommend writing out numbers in the videos on screen to help views get a better grasp! And adding the m/km units for foreign viewers. Xoxoxo love weird history
@0:34 - Raiders of the Lost Ark was such a ground shaking film! So many great things (i.e. Ducktales, Muppet Babies, Legends of the Hidden Temple, etc.) were highly influenced by that film.
I still say the best homage was the opening of the Weird Al Yankovic movie UHF! And anybody reading this comment (because I'd like to hear more of these)... What do YOU think?! What was your favorite Raiders of the Lost Ark-inspired moment?

10K a day to film doesn’t seem that bad… ever since my friend told me it was 18K a day to park his yacht at the marina I judge everything by that now…. Because that melts my mind…. And that’s not even close to most expensive place to park a yacht… and they got Angelina Jolie for that 10k/day
@7:59 - Legos were inducted into the first year of the Toy Hall of Fame (1998).

I have seen Stonehenge from the highway.. lol. We were on our way from London to Cardiff, and didn't have a lot of time to tour the site. We did, however, tour the gift soft and left some of our money there for souvenirs....lol
Turkey is such a cool country for real if you enjoy history and archaeology. There are so many ancient sites just scattered about the country, some of them with hardly any visitors so you don’t have to contend with hordes of tourists and can daydream in peace
The pyramid casing stone being made of limestone is something not a lot of people think about, even the academics. One of the most popular theories surrounding pyramids is that they were all capped with "golden" pyramidions. Of course, why ancient Egyptians would top a their incredibly reflective pyramids with what would be a completely *invisible* golden topper is unknown to *literally* everyone. It's far more likely pyramids were capped with black pyramidions, which just so happens to be the only examples we have left of actual pyramidions. Most egyptologists that aren't going for ancient alien money believe that the black was more likely as it would've contrasted with the heavily reflective limestone casing stones.
@8:41 - The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling truck for the last 46 years and the best-selling vehicle of any type in America for the last 41 years!
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.
Eating ANOTHER Weird History meal! This time eating Busch's Best Barbecue Beans in reference to barbacue beans from "How the Backyard Barbecue became an American Pastime" (Weird History food video) and drinking a Caprisun Pacific Cooler with it.
The clapping effect at chichen itza is so weird. You'll start clapping and will hear you know... yourself clap. But you take two steps to the right and your claps begin to sound almost like a tennis ball being hit by a racquet. You have to be in a very specific location for the sound waves to bounce off the top just perfectly, but I thought it was the coolest thing ever experiencing it in person.
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.
paying? is this what your capitalist brain think of? he does these videos because maybe he has this vast knowledge and he read I bet and he has the charisma it seems with the voice and what is most important it is his passion to talk about history so yeah profit comes at his sight but it wasn't his sole pur[ose in making these videos no doubt if he didn't like history he wouldn't even stayed talking you must like something to contnue just saying
I think people that steal pieces and vandalize these ancient structures should get harsh punishments, I'm not even apposed to decades in prison because fuck 'em
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.
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
@NASCARFAN93100 hell no, it wad a box office failure even worse than kingdom of the crystal skull, it barely filled a single row in most theaters it screened in. And nobody in their right mind can pick up that series, watch the first 3 and think the last 2 are even close to good.
I really want us to invent a time machine so scientist can go back and find out that some of these structures have no meaning and they were built just cause like with Stonehenge they just wanted to stack rocks 😂😂😂
the CE is a roman term!! just like when numbers are like I , II , III , IV , V ,, VI and so on but the AD is an English term or this what I think maybe... but before posting my reply I decided why not look it up for me and for you ......................

I love the guy who does most of these his narration is 99% why I watch Weird History
I agree he is the best
I would like to visit all of them in my opinion.
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.
I have seen Stonehenge, The Coliseum, and The Pyramids. Would love to see the rest someday!

It would be amazing to be part of something that is enjoyed a thousand years later!

Very interesting subject and thanks for sharing.❤ i would not visit any of them but they are part of history so i can see them on this video.
awesome info about Petra and Khazna
good job indeed

@10:54 - Such a great image from the film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade!
There should be more carving of mountainsides for that quality of art!
just look for India they have whole cities carved out of stones like that circular stone city that goes surely down about 20m

The reason steel doesn't usually get phosphorous added, is that it reduces ductability while cold working the steel, risking cracks.

It would be so cool to have some type of walking path like they built during Roman times.

THANKS. And FYI Petra is IN Jordan, not NEAR Jordan and you can still scoop water from MOSES' spring which is on a mountainside street in Wadi Musa!
Awesome. Have you been there?
cool
welcome another Jordanian person in this channel
;)
Omg the evanescence reference has me 😂😂😂😂
still can’t believe they named it El Pollo Loco when it could have been called Chicken Itza.
@2:59 - That image reminds me of the Terracotta Army statues they found.
They don't make 'em like this anymore.
The "chirp" at the pyramid of kukulkan is the sound of a local bird, the resplendent quetzal, not a snake.
@7:35 - I remember when that music video ("Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence) came out! Awesome video!

@6:50 - Imagine if the structure that you helped build was later considered to be one of the Seven Wonders of the World!
Please put Chaco Canyon in the next one. The North American Stonehenge, but cooler.

Nice😊😊
Petra was also seen in Sinbad and the Eye 👁️ Of the Tiger 🐅 not just Indiana Jones
so my country is famous for its place
Petra :P

Yes. I can't understand the lack of any sense of respect some people have. Same with people vandalizing the Great Wall.

The ancient city of Petra is located IN Modern Jordan, not 'near' Jordan.
Whenever I see Stonehenge, I often think of that song off the film This Is Spinal Tap (1984).

Thought this was gonna be about my couch. It's been there since the day I moved in... maybe since they built the building.
