I visited the 2nd Largest Archabbey in the World | Pannonhalma 🇭🇺

This turned into more ASMR than I anticipated..

[@pietersteenkamp5241]

It's not a terrible thing to keep your options open! :)

[@franciscomm7675]

After you return home, could you do a video about the austro hungarian compromise of 1867? You know, like a a sequel of your 1848 hungarian revolution video

[@HoH]

That’s a great idea!

[@szalard]

@@HoH Dont forget to make alsó a videó about the Holly Crown of Hungary. 😊

[@christopherdaniels3680]

Since you are focusing on Hungary from time to time, a video on the ancient connections between Hungary and the British Isles? The major relic of St. Thomas Becket is at Esztergom. (It was taken back to England for a short visit a few years ago.) How did it come about to be there in Esztergom? St. Margaret, Queen of Scotland was born in Hungary at a small village of Mecseknádasd. There's a much ruined fortress where she probably lived and a medieval chapel there where she may have worshiped. What about any ancient connections with Ireland?

If someone had ask me where is the largest Roman Catholic Abbey in existence, Hungary would not have been in my first five guesses.

Hungary and Poland are the defenders of Catholic europe as said by Pope Pius II

[@szalard]

Great videó! Géza was not the son of Árpád, the leader who brought the Hungarians to the Carpathian Basin in 895, but of Taksony, who was the leader of the Hungarians between 955-974.

[@HoH]

Woops, you're absolutely right. Easy for mistakes to get in a video when filming in the moment. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@szalard]

@@HoH I know. :) Sorry.

[@TheBrasidas]

And Árpád was not the first mint.

I think you could have gone to Hungry just to explore this one building . The history contained within it's walls are representative of the history of Eastern Europe for the last thousand years . What more could a history buff ask for ?

[@jimmyshrimbe9361]

Do all archabbeys have spontaneous chanting coming from the walls or....?

[@HoH]

Somtimes from the floor

[@kirkmattoon2594]

So after the destruction of the library by the Turks they managed to find 400,000 replacement volumes and a collection of what appear to be first-rate old master paintings in the past couple of centuries? How did they manage that, given wars and the always chancy politics of Central Europe?

[@andrasvarga5568]

Well, some just say that... we're aliens. :D
