🇱🇧 Free $400 Haircut | One day with THUGS | mE 20

The haircut salon is not involved in my story, it's the guys who brought me to the shop, and the guy who cut my hair.
After the breakfast you saw in the previous video, we go to explore Lakkis farm, and I embark on a tractor to plant seeds of wheat. After that, I go to the barber for a free haircut paid by the 400 dollars my hosts took in my bags. Finally, I visit the wonderful roman ruins of Baalbek.

[@georgep1358]

it is known that Alexander the Great eventually conquered the city of Baalbek in 332 BCE, and renamed the city Heliopolis, which means the "City of the Sun.

[@dinahu.s.a.2663]

Merci Yves for showing the preserved Roman ruins of Baalbeck (dated around 5,000 years old). In addition to the temple complex, it consists of the largest stone block construction found in the entire world. I have never gone there to see them, but hopefully one day I will.

[@KinoYves]

Hopefully you can go one day, it's really an amazing place.

[@trespire]

@Dinah U.S.A. The platform, of which the temple now stands, predates the temple. The ruins can either be Roman (about 2000 years old), or about 5000 years old which predates the Roman and pushes them back to the late Bronze Age. They can't be 5000 years old and Roman !!

[@dinahu.s.a.2663]

@@trespire Baalbek was inhabited over 9,000 years ago. Major construction in Baalbeck first began under the Phoenicians between three and four thousands years ago. It was them who erected an enormous temple to the Phoenician sky god, Baal. The Greeks then added to it followed by the Romans, Byzantine, and then the Arabs (637 AD). The Roman construction was built on top of earlier ruins most probably the Phoenicians built the fondations. Yes, they did find ruins from the Bronze age.

[@michaelb2388]

Dude you need to review your history. The earliest Roman civilisation goes back to around 600BC. That's about 2600 years, not 5000 years. The site of Baalbek may have been occupied 5000 years ago, but not by the Romans.

[@felixfox8810]

To be honest, having seen all videos with these guys now, I'm still puzzled about what actually was their intention. I totally agree that there were many red flags and don't doubt at all that someone from this community did steal money in the night and damaged the bike. I sure would've fled the scene after the discovery too. Well, actually after the first coffee, since that situation really had a very shady vibe to it, even before the guy with the shades arrived. Yet I still can't believe they would do all these nice things that followed just to set up a later robbery of the remaining valuables. Even if they were looking for an opportunity to do it outside of the view of their parents and wifes, this seemed way too much of an effort with far too much information handed out by them. Really wondering what the purpose of damaging the bike was too.

[@felixfox8810]

@@AYYSIR I guess the definition of "red flag" is very subjective, so I won't argue about that. As for the theory that someone who doesn't belong to this community would follow them and sneak into that house at night, I think that is far-fetched. This is Baalbek after all and these guys didn't look like they would tolerate such an act, at all. According to many lebanese commenters, even people from around there feel intimidated by the bad reputation of this specific area. But again: I can't shake the feeling that the "official theory" (hope you know what I mean by that) is doing that community as a whole some injustice. Overall I find it simply sad, how it all went wrong for a few dollars.

Awesome video Yves. To see the ruins is something unbelievable for me. I am amazed how enterprising your hosts are growing everything from hashis to food for their market and restaurant. I guess that in a small, very tight knit community like this one it would be hard to know who it was that robbed you and sabotaged your bike. I hope that you still had some money that they did not find to be able to continue your journey.

[@KinoYves]

Yeah, I still had some money, and I had the good surprise that in Beirut, one ATM was actually giving USD, so I could withdraw money. And regarding who robbed me, honestly, I am pretty convinced it's the guys who hosted me and who were always with me. Most of the other guys were working during the day, no kid could sabotage my bike the way it was done, and after I escaped, when I told them I was robbed, some of the other guys were shocked and asked me if I was fine, and were saying that they have to find who did that, while the guy who hosted me was on the defensive side, and just telling me "I need to see you, where are you? Where are you?"...

[@KinoYves]

And when I replay the two days, and how everything happened, for me, it's quite obvious that everything was planned from the beginning, even some of the nice guys briefly tried to make me understand that I should not accept the invitation.

I think he could intuit from the 1st day that something is off, but felt powerles to diffuse the situation, and chose to deliberately stay ignorant about clues, like wanting to believe.... To be honest the whole story has a karmic taste to me. Like life wants teach a lesson.... 1 No free dinner 2nd the cultivation of humblenes and compassion 3rd being a man, and acting like one

If these guys were innocent, they would almost certainly have responded to this video already. Their silence is damning.

Do you really think they have a youtube channel or know how to respond?🤦🏽‍♂️

@@RdamWestyes I think a guy with a balenciaga shirt and pot leaf emblem, with smart phones, knows what KZbin is and has an account. I would bet they even got all his KZbin information before he left.

I have seen most of his video,i am confiused b/c the bike is outside as we seen it on video so,you put your money outside with bike it is not logical ...i think there is script in this video for view really it is not convincing.

[@xmateinc]

I find it weird how many people act like because he didn’t film is escape that he his making it up. I would think that if he did film his escape then it really would be made up. But the fact he just left and didn’t record anything makes me think he was genuinely scared. If he was lying for views he would’ve filmed the whole thing.

I can't believe how you managed to stay in Baalbek, an area that is not safe at all, and there are gangs, drug dealers, murder and robbery. The police are not there. Fortunately, you left safely.

[@DeniseLareina]

The lesson you learned is nothing is free. Be happy it was only money that they took from you. Next time don’t be so naive

[@blackcurrantpop]

Stay safe. I hate what happened to you. You seem like a nice guy. I dislike when dodgy people take advantage of nice people. I am glad something worse didn’t happen to you. But the guy w the long hair and the motorcycle guy seem involved with drugs and other businesses. Robbing an individual is one of the lowest and scummiest crimes.

[@dipsy405]

The guy in shades and tight jeans has a thug thing going on around him.

I honestly don’t think those two guys did that damage to you. It just doesn’t make sense at all. Go figure…

Blame only your own self @yves for going to a place knowing that it's dangerous. If your intention Is adventure then be courageous enough to face the Consequences. Never blame a others only blame own self for poor decision making. Hopefully we learn from our own mistakes.

[@lifetree7177]

It looks like you are really scared and didn’t know how to cut it short . You just kept on giggling. The way you laugh is obviously showing how much you wanted to wrap this thing up and go. But it seems like you are scared and didn’t want to offend them by saying I got to go!!

Growing weed for hashish was a joke but what knows a French guy of the Dutch coffeeshop. It are the lands where Abraham has wandered and became famous of their offerings which the Romans ended. Belief has not to become boring but to encourage for the promising future. Jesus had no answer to the Roman occupation while caravans were rolling.

[@MrKareem001]

I guess you just wanted to take from those poor people and not give them anything!! I believe if you were generous with them they probably wouldn’t take your money.

Il s'agissait de paysans riches qui ne semblaient manquer de rien... Toi seul était sur le terrain et toi seul a pu réellement ressentir la situation, mais pour moi s'ils avaient voulu ils auraient pu te braquer et te zigouiller n'importe quand... Cependant c'est vrai que comme ils vivent en groupe, il pouvait aussi y avoir des convenances et cacher leurs intentions d'une partie de la famille... Perso le seul truc qui me gène vraiment et depuis le début dans leurs comportements, c'est cette propension à te toucher, entrer dans ton espace et se servir de tes affaires alors qu'ils ne te connaissent pas! Après ton comportement est léger car tu acceptes ces intrusions de domination trop facilement, tu ris beaucoup, tout le temps et répète naïvement un peu tjrs la même chose; c'est un comportement qui peut être perçu comme enfantin, et en tous cas le comportement de quelqu'un sans défense...ce qui invite pas mal à des abus.

[@KinoYves]

Ton commentaire est très intéressant. Je pense que s'ils ne m'ont pas volé tout de suite, c'est en effet en raison des convenances, ils ne pouvaient pas me voler devant leur famille, mais par contre, ils pouvaient facilement organiser une embuscade pour me voler une fois que je serai parti de chez eux, puisque j'avais l'air si enfantin et naïf. Au contraire de ce que tu dis, je pense que c'est mon comportement exagérément naïf qui m'a sauvé, sans celà, ils n'auraient jamais été persuadés de pouvoir facilement m'attraper une fois parti de chez eux, et ils ne m'auraient jamais laissé partir aussi facilement. Sembler fort et dominant est complètement inutile dans ce genre de situation, alors que leur sembler faible m'a probablement sauvé, moi, mon vélo, toute mes affaires, mon voyage, et peut-être même ma chaîne KZbin. Il ne faut jamais juger de la force des gens sur les apparences. Les gens les plus courageux et forts que j'ai connu au cours de mes voyages avaient toujours l'air de personnes lambdas, faibles et timorées, alors que les gars qui jouent les gros caïds que tu vois dans cette vidéo n'ont pas encore réussi à partir de chez leur parents à presque 40 ans... Sembler faible augmente considérablement les chances de survie dans un environnement hostile; c'est pour ça que tous les aventuriers que j'ai rencontré dans ma vie avaient, sans exception, l'air de tout, sauf de ce qu'ils étaient, des gens extrêment forts et courageux. Les films ne sont pas la réalité, aucun espion ne ressemble à James Bond, tous les espions ressemblent à des personnes banales et faibles, pour les aventuriers, c'est souvent pareil.

[@Dan-xx5jq]

I am more convinced they are a Roma community. Older males staying with parents is Indian tradition and since the Roma are from India they stick to those Indian traditions. Unfortunately the Roma do not have a good reputation all over Europe and now in the US. They seem to do well with having land and farm equipment etc. It could be anyone from their community as the bike was in an area that was accessible to a lot of people.

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

Thugs tow starting the tractor since there’s no hill… It’s surreal to watch these guys, knowing that they all (most likely) manipulated him and really could have hurt or even killed him (in addition to stealing all his money and damaging the bike to make rescuing with his things (probably) difficult (the rack would break off)…
