I can see my house from here!

Where's episode 3? Episode 2 showed some informative history.

No, Bartholomeu Dias did not land in Cape Town. In 1488, he became the first European to round the southern tip of Africa, proving that a sea route to the Indian Ocean was possible. However, he did not stop at what is now Cape Town. Instead, he landed at Mossel Bay on the southern coast of South Africa. Dias named the southernmost point he rounded "Cabo das Tormentas" (Cape of Storms) due to the rough seas, but King John II of Portugal later renamed it "Cabo da Boa Esperança" (Cape of Good Hope) because of the opportunities it promised for trade with Asia.

Thank you for this. It is really nice to be able to visualize the original geography.

I agree with the comment that the music was inappropriate. Would have been ok for a Caribbean island though. The fort is not rendered correctly; it was pentagonal, so had five points not four. Nice to see a re-creation of a city in the past but if it’s not done accurately what is the point? Was the street layout incorrect too?

Thank you

Thank you

pretoria next please

Dreadful music, discordant to the documentary

Commander Z.Wagenear was aKhoi Khoi

Nicely done, yes the castle was built 10 years after Van Riebeeck landed, just need to fix that

Before the Xhosas got here 😩😩😩

Lies.. yawazi amanga wodwa..

once you've finished the series, i'd love for you to share your source material. i'm sure there is so much you had to leave out and would love to read further.

Pity you did not do your research properly, the Fort had 5 points not 4🤔

so did the water recede or what because the castle isn't right by the ocean anymore

Well done. The scale is a bit off here and there, but very nice details all round.

Nice

its nice to see the history of how/why certain parts of Cape Town are named what they are

Brilliant work!! I wondered if Roggebaai might be incorrectly translated as Rocky Bay.The Lower Countries have a fish they call "rog".

👍

To Live and Resurrect in Durban

Stunning my man! As a Londoner, I had to keep rewatching bits as I recognised so many areas of the city. Such a good job.

I love these

Couple hundred years later I drive my Polo up to Table Mountain.

🔥🔥🔥🔥 im from Cape Town and i didn’t know any of this love the video

Het jul geen ander musiek nie. Dit pas nie in nie🤢

Wow!. this awesome. Thanks for your creation

Very interesting and well done! The music gets a bit much though.

6:46 and at precisely noon each day at least 100 tourists jump out of their skins lol (especially if it's cloudy, which seems to make it louder)

Your video is truly beautiful and inspiring. As a fellow creator, I appreciate the effort you put into it. Sub & 👍

Awesome work keep then coming👏👏👏

where did you get these assets?

Hoerikwaggo means place where the clouds gather.

I NEED THE NEXT CHAPTER PLEASE

So thrilling to watch, well done. After the mention of Newlands Brewery, it would have been wonderful to also include the oldest high school in South Africa: SACS which was founded in 1829.

FGreat Vid, both of them, Where are you getting your research ? would love to read more since i am born and raised capetonian.

Is this map available on the workshop? I would LOVE to use it!

Stupid video. Why mess with other people's history if you're completely oblivious and bad at making videos

Can you perhaps do a series of how the city was built from its start to the modern developments, an 8 part 40 min episode would suffice.

Stunning visuals and I learnt a great deal- well done!

Nice work. Robben Island is still missing though. Also, there were about 7 windmills all in all. Mosterts mill was the smallest and was a private mill on the farm there.

Absolutely marvelous, I grew up in Cape Town, and know much of its history. My grand parents lived in one of the first suburbs called Pappendorp, but later changed to Woodstock. Love your narrative and look forward to seeing more. What a beautiful use of a Cities Skyline, wish i could build like this. How long did it take? ❤

Excellent. I love My City. ❤ Thanks for the history.

Love it. I live in Cape Town. I know this city intimately. Great to see the history told in a different way. Thank you.

Spoiled by the music that drowns out the narration

Most of the people Indonesian archipelago that were exiled to the Cape as political prisoners for resisting the dutch east Indian or (VOC) company, like the Bandanese, Javanese e.t.c. The VOC was probably the most powerful company at the time and brutally crushed any resistance of the local populations whilst monopolizing the spice trade.

Pretoria is also interesting with some remarkable changes in the late 1800's and early 1900's if you can show some of that it will be interesting

Nice video enjoyed it. I live in Cape Town for over 50 years heard many stories where the ocean started. How the area grew from way back when from grandparents and their fore fathers. Ignore the stories of not getting the history right. The history was messed up by the whites in apartheid to suite their agendas. Making claims which turn out to be lies.

This is brilliant, I look forward to the one about Johannesburg and the Gold rush along the witwatersrand. The gold deposits along the Witwatersrand is from a meteor impact at the Vredefort dome which brought up a lot of the gold deposits which are still mined today
