    The government should make the effort to educate,evaluate , preserve and promote our rich history so that future generations will understand and respect our heritage and the country as a whole can benefit economically. I think I read an article by Lisa Hannah recently recommending that the government do that, sad that politics gets in the way so politicians are not interested in what the other side has to say about such things

    Impressive building. Great fine. I also wondered why jamaicans left these buildings to deteriorated. These buildings could have been a huge tourist draw. As evident in Latin American countries who've kept in tact a lot of their architectural buildings.

    There is so much history in Jamaica. The government should do something about them so they can get revenue from these buildings.

  • @barringtonthompsonbedascba7855
    @barringtonthompsonbedascba7855 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I read a publication which stated that the limestone used to make those buildings across Jamaica were shipped from England. We have seen these stone structures right across the Island in many areas where there is no such stone.

    I think the 'missing' boards could have been part of wooden floors, staircases and landing structures - which naturally deteriorated and perished through the ageing process over the centuries.

    Once again a great video Alexx, I am afraid of heights so my knees felt really weak as you ascended the lighthouse steps. I remember the Yallas Salt ponds well, you would always know when you were near as there was an odor. The views are beautiful and are truly making me homesick. Keep up the great work!

    • @EliteJamaica
      @EliteJamaica  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The fear of heights is one of the worst fears. The salt ponds aren't as bad as they used to be in regards to smell.

    Thank you as always. Interesting. That pond is blue and beautiful. Yes, I would love to hear about the pond. Also I would love to hear some history of Tacky and which sugar plantation he worked from. If I am not mistaken he was after the Maroons. So who owned this plantation? You better go back down. Jamaica is so beautiful. I am praying the crime will stop, but I am glad you are taking us with you around the island to these historic sites. Were you a History major in college? Love to see the ruins though. By the way, it's good that you are skinny, no disrespect to fat people though. please don't come after me...but you know if you are fat it's hard to do all that climbing.
