With his invasion of Ukraine, Putin is risking the Third World War, an action that we condemn in the strongest terms and which, just like you, has been causing us headaches for weeks now. Our thoughts are with the victims of these senseless games of a power-hungry man and his inner circle. We've been discussing within the BWT team whether to stop our content to give the conflict more space on social media. But as entertainers and content creators, that would be equivalent to giving up our profession. This wouldn't help anyone. Instead, we decided to donate a fixed amount to support the victims in Ukraine every month from now on. Everyone can do so - at the end of this post, we have a list of verified charities working to help the victims of this invasion. Furthermore, we ask you to become active - e.g. taking part in a demonstration has a much greater effect than expressing your condolences in an Instagram story. Please get informed, but check your sources. The situation is turbulent and evolves quickly. We will continue to post the content you subscribed to our channel for. We hope to bring you a little piece of normality. Be strong, stand together, and support where you can. Help by donating money to a charity: 1. voices.org.ua/en/ 2. help.rescue.org/donate/tax-deductible-gift 3. www.globalgiving.org/.../ukraine-crisis-relief-fund/ 4. redcross.org.ua/en/donate/ 5. facebook.com/donate/507886070680475/2099553790222204/

Living in a country where buildings over a century are incredibly rare, it's staggering to see such a vast expanse of storied architecture just falling into ruin. I suppose that's been happening since the first towns and cities. We like to say we value the past more than our forebears, but we really only honor it if sufficiently profitable.

[@paulmayson3129]

@@studiodevelopers2467 I was referring to why so many ancient monuments are lost to us today. Many like to claim that the great ancient temples were razed by fanatic Christians (which never happened), but the case is that what really occured is more straightforward: the religions lost their following, hence their funds from income (especially since Paganism was very exploitative), thus the buildings would end up abandoned. With the passage of the centuries, you would either see them convereted (since there would be only Christians), like in the case of the Pantheon and the Parthenon, or reclaimed by the elements of nature and demolished by people to reutilize the building matterials. Watching this video makes me understand much better why there is barely anything left in Greece and Asia Minor from the crowded cities of Antiquity and the Middle Ages. I mean, especially for the Medieval Roman Empire, most of their towns were built in almost the same manner with Craco (albeit with a little more stone-masonry and marble). If this town on the video has gotten to this delapidated state in merely 6 decates, indicating that in 6 more it will be nothing but a pile of stones, what would have been the fate of hundreds of towns that were sacked, burned and abandoned due to the endless wars (especially the Seljuk Turks invading in the 11th century?). I agree with you though. I always feel that there should be a movement for the preservation of as much history as possible. And that from mere internet articles and images, to books and works of art, to whole buildings and knowledge. As a Greek, a civilization that has existed for at least 40 centuries, it freaks me out how much is lost, and how easily everything that has been undercovered can be lost again. One atomic bomb in the center of Athens, and all the museums and ancient monuments are just evaporated into oblivion. Measures should be taken against that, though it often seems to me that since everything is doomed to be reduced to nil, such an endeavour is just futile. Nonetheless, I am sure that if we could instill on people the right mentality, to love history and appreciate the past, which is essentially what defines us, what made us, one could make a lot of money from this, and thus also be able to preserve them better.

One of coolest things I did with my friends while in Italy was explore a semi-abandoned town in the south. There were abandoned houses built of stone you could walk in and see everything as the former occupants had left it, many years before. Some houses broke into by robbers with personal stuff and old photos strewn all over the place but that just added to the eerieness of it all. I said a prayer for whoever lived in those houses, hoping their life didn't end in too much pain and loneliness.

This video was powerfully emotional for me. I think of all the lives that came and went in this magical place, all the stories that were told and all the memories that are lost as this place returns to dust. "Vanity, vanity, all is vanity"!

[@afrarunduml1170]

Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to GOD who gave it. “Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher, “All is vanity.” Ecclesiastes 12:7‭-‬8 NKJV Don't forget some lines after that, the ending: Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear GOD and keep HIS commandments, For this is man’s all. For GOD will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil. Ecclesiastes 12:13‭-‬14 NKJV Ecclesiastes is a interesting book of the Bible. Everything is vanity, if it is don't lived through und with GOD. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. How can I fear GOD? And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear HIM who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:28 NKJV HE is the righteous judge and will punish every sin. Every single one of us sinned against him. Nobody kept all his live all HIS commandments. Just one did it. It was Jesus the Christ. And in HIS wisdom and love he sended his only begotten son Jesus - fully man and fully GOD - to take our sins and pay the price for it on the cross. HE died and rose on the third day, so we can have the everlasting live with HIM. If we repeant from our evil ways and trust in Jesus as our savior, we can spend the eternity in peace.

it s Italy s wasteland. The gov has a ton of ancient sites and palaces to maintain why would they save them all?! it is not viable they have too much.

[@PickBit]

Don't be surprised, there is a very practical reason why that is. Here in Italy places like this are worth absolutely nothing. Now before you jump at my throat for uttering such a blasphemy hear me out. I live in Brescia which is basically the industrial capital of northern Italy. My city is not even close to being an art city, yet when you go for a stroll in the center, you literally find yourself walking on relics of the past and even authentic pieces of art. There are boutiques with ancient Roman houses in the basement, there are monuments wherever you go. Just imagine how costly it would be for the government to publically fund the maintenance of all the minor places that would be worth maintaining... I repeat, I'm talking about an industrial joint here, just think what the situation is in cities like Florence, Venice or Rome itself. When private maintenance of certain places is lacking, due to abandonment or whatever reason, tough chioces must be made. Sadly Craco has only the smallest fraction of the artistic value the average italian historical hotspot has and as such it will never receive public funding unless a major discovery is made (very unlikely) or the town gets repopulated (less unlikely)

A few years ago, a famous italian photographer, Sandro Giordano, was in Craco to film one episode of his series named "Ghost town", produced by italian television. He spent one night in one of the buildings, and in the morning he hid a pen drive in a small metal box inside a crack of a wall. The pen drive contained his research on Craco and all the pictures he took, both of city and people he met. Did you find it? This episode is still visible on Rai play (free streaming platform).

[@chriscuomo9334]

I have a theory why. Towns don’t disappear if there are people. If there are no babies, there are no people. If there are no marriages, there are much fewer babies. So the question about disappearing towns is: why aren’t men asking women to marry them? Towns are disappearing the world over because men don’t marry women who’ve been sleeping around since they were 14. There’s nothing special about such a woman, quite the opposite, so we don’t marry any of them, so there are no babies, so towns disappear. Feminism destroyed civilization. That’s what happened.

[@bwturbex]

Thanks, Robert. Really appreciate your comment. We find it amazing to see this landscape and spent there a night and a day. But we were glad when we could get back in the car with AC, haha.

That was breathtaking ❤ I totally cried when they entered the chapel. The way it was shot was so delicate and I felt like I was there. Thank you ❤

[@50blueflower]

Wow I find it really amazing..you guys are brave to venture in this isolated area.😊😊 Thanks for sharing

[@Materialworld4]

Gentlemen, a truly marvelous exploration of a most tragic setting, thank you. Wow.

[@FeralCoot]

Excellent thanks for taking us through the layers of history and human endeavour. Floods, earth quakes and raids and the buildings reflect a lifetime of stories sown into the land. It looked like it was once a fortress. Congratulations

The views of the crumbling church segment with the hole in the ceiling and lonely tree were stunning and magical...

[@swaspc7618]

What I can say, guys? Excellent documentation job! with a touch of sense and sensibility.

Could you tell me the brand of the boots seen in minute 2:13? Thanks!

Amazing talent 👏 the photography is so well done...what a beautiful place. Keep up the incredible work!

[@jameswynn4699]

Wow! what absolutely wonderful shots you all got! I want to go to Craco if I ever visit Italy.

[@sharonpape4343]

Absolutely stunning images! Great job!

[@sunworksco]

Italy is one of the most earthquake prone countries, in the world. It’s amazing how the sewer construction led to hydrostatic pressure causing liquefaction and landslides.

[@jannes3290]

Idk where you have that information from but that just wrong. Most earthquakes of Europe, I can get behind. But of the world? No. You forget Japan, Indonesia, Tonga, China, fiji, Iran, Turkey, the West coast of the Usa and many, many more.

[@sunworksco]

Why is Italy so susceptible to earthquakes? “Italy is one of the countries in the Mediterranean with the highest seismic risk,” says the Italian Civil Protection Department. The reason: the country lies where the African and Eurasian tectonic plates converge. They are moving together at a rate of 4-10mm a year. Yes, Japan wins the seismic award!

[@jannes3290]

@@sunworksco yes you are completely right! The key here is "in the Mediterranean", which is correct, you on the other hand said "in the world", which is not correct.

[@Comicsluvr]

Wonderful use of aerial shots! Very sweeping and jaw-dropping!

[@grlpeterson]

Wow, I looked up and found a few old pictures of Craco, one of an aerial close to it's abandonment which showed the areas which slid! Absolutely amazing to compare now and then.

[@olivialee3758]

Much love from Mississippi!! I thoroughly enjoy watching y’all’s videos!

[@pukicat]

Amazing video guys, thank you. Fantastic architecture. Very sad to see though. Keep up the good work , cheers!

[@tommyboybr]

Wow, it’s sad but fascinating to see such things. Imagine how many stories happened in that city, how much history it has! And I wonder how many people here in the US might have roots from there. Very interesting to think about all these things. Thanks for sharing!

[@steffengrossmann169]

The architecture and man hours behind those abandoned towns is tremendous and sad at the same time 💔

[@Chls05]

Your soothing voice, the incredible ruins and the breathtaking scenery made this video so enjoyable. Thank you!
