Nice new video, can t always understand and follow your reasoning and stories but has more to do with my own historical knowledge. None the less I love the videos! Upcmoming week I m heading Albania and will definitely visit some of the polygonal walls (Lehze for sure) If there is anything you forgot during your own visits (taking certain pictures or whatever) let me know! Would be cool to support your channel in some way and feel like indiana jones at the same time. Greets from the Netherlands

Oh! Thank you soo much. It just makes my day to have you visiting a place after me talking about it. That's all the support the channel needs. I was feeling a bit down because this video isn't good enough, but you helped. As per Albania, just enjoy, going from place to place is longer ride than it seems, with the country being so rugged so if you are up north in Lezhe/Skoder it might be difficult to go deep south in Butrint or vice versa. Here's a list of the places I covered (most visited) maps.app.goo.gl/TZEGsiSwNWj6aMS69 Will make another reply with what I most remember and sort of recommend.

Quirky Albanian Cyclops: -The bit of big boulder wall in Chaonia/Phoenike, crossed to the outside by the ruins of the greek "temple", was hard to find and made the visit more exciting. Overall, it was my favorite place to visit and my first popular video (at scale) on the channel. - Shkoder castle is amazing per se, although the old cyclopean is not easy to find. There's a bit on entrance, but later was told there is a bit more on the exterior wall on the northern wall (have to do follow a little path from the car park). - Beware not to waste a perfectly good holiday with some random wall (my wife tells me I do that all the time, can't understand why she says it). Many places like Amantia, Albanopolis, unnamed "Illyrian castles") the second acropolis in Butrint, are small and hard to find. Although I can't think of a better plan than to drive for 3 hours to find a handful of polygonal stones so small no-one even cared to put a sing on them, I heard it's not a common pastime for most people. Enjoy yourself and please come back to tell me what you saw.

@@One-eyedgiantbuildingwall First of all I fell in love with Albania, the people are super friendly so I will definitely come back to this country soon. You are right about the time it takes to travel between the different sites, especially since I m using public transport only. That being said I only visited lehze. It was BEYOND my expectations and I was super hyped when I saw the first glimpse of the walls. That is also because I m a Dutch guy (offshore civil engineer as profession, also working on ships as well) from the Netherlands and we do not have such an ancient history and objects. Except some Dolmite kind of structures ( Hunebedden we call them, dated about 3.000 B.C. if i remember well. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megaliths_in_the_Netherlands And "Dogger land" , which is currently the North Sea, dated pre younger dryas. Anyway, I went to Lehze, walked up the hill towards the castle and saw parts of the walls. I immidiatly climb towards them and meet a female Sheppard, so cool. Some things I noticed there; i might send you an email later with more detailed information - I did not count more than 7 sides per block -on a lot of (seemed perfectly 90 degrees) corners from the wall there were "stair shaped notches _|-" made on the whole height of the wall, so on multiple blocks. Perfectly straight! These are in my opinion clearly made after positioning the wall (will send photos to clarify) -the polygon wall on which the castle was build and the longer polygonal wall surrounding the castle (lower situated ) did not contain "knobs" ( will clarify later by photo what i mean exactly). I did not see them here. -the outer polygonal wall surrounding the castle was NOT only a wall. At some places it was like a "street". So a wall left and right...space in between ca. 4 or 5m. Here I also found "square shaped" holes left and right at the same height. The square shaped holes (ca. 15cm x 15cm) were made in two blocks, not one. Half of the hole in the bottom of a block and the other half at the top of a block. At the same spot there were also square holes in the floor (floor consisting also of blocks). Will show you in an email with photo s what I mean exactly. -some blocks had multiple 'vertical grooves |||||||||' 'right arrow shaped grooves >>>>>" and even 'circular grooves " on the outside of the wall. I think not caused by weather cause some neighbouring blocks had none of them. Maybe decorations or from getting them out a quarry? I wondered where they got the blocks from anyway...since the information boards where telling basically nothing about the walls, and what was given was even contradictionary. - the walls are dated around 500 B.C. according the information boards. Earth quakes did happen in the past at this site. These type of walls are earthquake proof right? That means the people who build them must have witnessed earthquakes before... So the walls perhaps even older? As I said, i was super excited and hyped and it was litterly one of the best days of my world wide travels. I was all alone there with only some sheep and the sweet female Sheppard. That added on to the experience. Also the site gave me " South American Peru" vibes, looking at the valley's, sea and surrounding mountains from the " platform" . I can totally envision this was indeed a "seafaring" civilization, like you said. Then I walked back, day dreaming and enjoying the views to the lower situated town Lehze. Till my suprise there were more polygon walls and there i found some even more interesting things which I can not wrapp my engineering-head around. Read next comment

@@thijsvandijk6135 Thank you for your comment. It means so much to me to have spread the passion for cyclopean walls around. Just having you interested in those places and going there and check it is great. Did you notice the big mountain in the "back" of Lehze? with all the antenas. I did not check, but some sources say there was an Illyrian castle over there (rough dry stone boulders) and the battle with the Macedonians happened in there, not in the city. This would make the wall much older, because the Macedonian fights are the last classical reference to the site. Either way, what you saw and I totally agree is that the walls were not a castle, it's a garden/processional way/palace, acropolis. Not for defense, but for status. Specially that bit you mentioned where two walls come down parallel (for lack of a better description) soldiers in there would be more trapped than defended. Thank you for your report.

Nothing so metaphysical or mystical I don’t feel there’s evidence for that much. I see it as the remnants old religion. Cyclopean wall just like Sybils are inheritances from an older past. Like some old temples in Arabia are to Islam. Cyclopean walls are to the classical Greeks. Does it make sense?

@One-eyedgiantbuildingwall2 ай бұрын
Yes. Those are real mysteries and theories. I'm not sure about any of those, can't find clear evidence to affirm it or don't know sufficiently about the topics to see it clearly. All I keep finding are some gaps in the "official" approach that could lead to several explanations. I'd say my current best guess is that the older population of Europe (I call them the Cyclops) had some unique approach to building that is not seen later on in History. Meaning all these constructions are, at least in Europe, closely related and part of a complex, sophisticated single idea or religion. Would love to find definitive proofs or, probably, the search is better than the answer
