This is Paul in Oaxaca. I was looking for this week's video and I ran across this older one of Monte Albán. Since 1970 I've been to Monte Alban seven times. It is a wonderful, spiritual place. It's best to go in the wet season because it's not so brown. Everything is green. I believe to understand Oaxaca, one must go and spend a morning in Monte Albán. Your video was short, but you still did a good job. Other important sites around Oaxaca are Yagul & San Jose el Mogote. The latter one dates back before Monte Albán. It is said that these are the people that built Monte Albán. Also, in 1200 BCE, San Jose el Mogote may have been the first sedintary agricultural settlement in the area. It's not an impressive site, but a very important one.

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Hi Paul. Thanks for all the information. Monte Albán is incredible. Sounds wonderful!

[@upabove7536]

Swift death!!!! I think those steps might have killed me! What an interesting and fun video! Thank you for showing us this beautiful historic place in Mexico. We really feel Ike we are there with you. You guys make history fun!

[@TheCountryCollectors]

They were steep for sure! Thank you! History was never really exciting to me until we started traveling. That’s when I really started to appreciate it. I love going places now and learning about these fun facts - it help paint a better picture of the places we are! Thank for your comment.

[@franks2983]

We would be in big trouble!!!!

[@TheCountryCollectors]

@@franks2983 haha!! Gotta keep quiet.

Wow those were som beautiful views there. I'd love to visit in the near future. We did some of the other ruins in Mexico but didn't make it to this one. That looks like a great vantage point to see if anyone was coming to attack. I'd love to learn more about this, so thanks for sharing!

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Absolutely, glad we inspired you to want to learn more! And yes, the Zapotec elites definitely had the best view in the city! Thanks for stopping by!

Mitla!!! Visit Mitla. People say that exist a special relation ship between Mitla y Monte Albán.

Thank you. Yes I agree, that was how the times were back then. We are all nomadic in nature.

[@TravelInPink]

Massive to see! How you knew about this?

Thank you so much! We heard about it from Some local people and it was very popular on all the internet searches of things to do in Oaxaca. Are you planning on visiting?

@@TheCountryCollectors My girlfriend would love to go. I was a little afraid it would be not safe. Guess I should stop watching movies 😂😂😂

@@TheCountryCollectors Are you living there now?

I understand. Safety first! It’s a great time though. I highly recommend it to you and your girlfriend!

[@Reptar530]

Word is that, it was built by giants.

[@TheCountryCollectors]

That seems the most likely.

[@aaronchambers9888]

There are a lot of similares between this site and Sechin bajo in peru . The pyramidic structures are similar but the cita layout is different. The pictures of dancers or dismembered humans are almost identical , the way they were carved onto individual stones and appear to have been brought from somewhere else and set into the walls exactly like Sechin Bajo. The style of art is again, very similar but not exactly the same.
