[@masstv9052]

You give such glimpse and insights into ancient sites often overlooked by other ancient history & antiquity channels. While showing the sites, almost like a virtual guided tour, that doesn't just give the grand overview and some history facts, but you actually walk is through, highlighting and showing the minuit details of these sites, that would otherwise be overlooked even of covered by other channels. The only comparison I could make (as a compliment), is to a few Lindey Beige videos where he went on a tour of a handful of ancient near east sites, and showed the intricate details of the architecture, showing up close how you can tell what parts are original construction, and which parts were added later, because of masonry cut lines, stone types, etc. Giving a close up glimpse of these sites. But those aren't his normal videos, and he only did a handful. Your style is so inviting, and detailed into understanding the ancient sites, it's history, all the monuments, statues, architecture, and details that other channels would never show. Your videos make me feel like I've walked along with you, guided and explained about the site in such a personal experience like actually being there. Thank you for your work and your unique contributions to the KZbin History Education Genre. Salute to you.

Hey Cat Man, couple of things. I did watch and reply to you about the Mark Lehner links you sent, so thanks for those. I have also been going through my posts and realised we have spoken on many sites going back quite a long time. Anyway, peace to ya Cat Man.

[@catman8965]

@@dazuk1969 Hey Darren: Sorry it took so long to respond. Running into each other really does show we have common interests. You're right about Mark Lehner. He went from conspiracists to mainstream which is very unusual. Matt at Ancient Architects was the same way. He really was into acoustics for everything from from cutting granite to lifting large bolders, but acoustics energy levels are very weak. It's just not possible. Now, he's focused on getting at the truth - just like Mark Lehner. Anyway, ALL THE BEST!!!😀

[@dazuk1969]

@@catman8965 Hi Cat Man, I have been watching Matt for years and he has been down every rabbit hole there is. Geopolymers, stone melting, power plants, acoustic levitation, and everything in between. I also have at times, but thankfully we have something to fall back on. A silly thing called "evidence". These days, like Matt, all that matters to me is what verifiable evidence tells us. There is nothing wrong with chewing the fat...spitballing if you will, but if the evidence doesn't back it up...that is all it is. Peace to ya Cat Man.

Really good video full of information. Thank you soo much. It appears from whats left from the ancient architecture that perhaps the Hittites really valued exalting their gates and fancying up their door ways. Most of the gates / door ways showed here appeared to have been nicely and specially cut from enlarged stones to having intricate carved statues. Like as if maybe it may have been culturally significant for them to ensure their doorway was a highlighted feature. Perhaps carrying with it and showing a level of prestige and wealthy status within their society. Reminds me of a scripture in the book of Proverbs. Proverbs 17:19 (KJV 1900): 19 He loveth transgression that loveth strife: And he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.

Well that was totally unexpected. I had no idea that you'd be coming upon so much megalithic prehistoric stonework. I didn't know what was going to be presented but it turned out to contain many surprises for me because I had my eyes open for any evidence of stone concrete casting and I found it in many places...so many that I ended up with 60 screen captures! That took about four times as long as simply watching only. But one of these days I will now have the material to make a "Casting Hattusa" post. Looking for to the next video.

Great analysis. You mentioned at the beginning that there is no certainty regarding the techniques used in the construction the great pyramid. Is there any other ancient or medieval construction which is not understood and can not be replicated by modern methods and equipment (especially within similar margin of error and timescale)? Also, what do you think about the accepted construction timeline theory which translates into putting one block into position every few minutes (including quarrying, transporting to site, shaping, fitting, etc)?

It can be true. After Tutankhamun's death, we don't really know who ruled Egypt. There was Horemheb before Ramesses I, but we are not sure either. The widow of Tutankhamun rightly feared her internal enemies (priests?) A missing or murdered son of the Hittites may prove a power struggle in Egypt. Egypt is the deepest mockery of unexplained events, technology and kings.
