Sand buried ancient city of Khara-Khoto

[@benc2972]

Don’t usually get into short clips, but if you’re gonna show me places I’ve never seen, I’ll click them all. Just keep sharing your research. Witnessing beautiful minds at work is some of the only joy left to me in this time.

[@CuriousBeingbyTina]

Thank you :-) I'll continue creating longer videos. I plan to use KZbin shorts to briefly show some interesting sites.

[@bobbrown5529]

it makes you wonder , just how many cities , temples etc are still buried under the sand

[@kaidechrailama609]

Very interesting place 👍️

[@KimLongsine]

That is a massive complex. It will be something to see uncovered.

[@dirktravels]

Beautiful, I would have loved to see it in it's glory.

Our history gets older and more mysterious every year.

Thank you, Tina...Nothing but respect! Will you be going deeper into Khara-Khoto, in the future? It appears there are things to discuss. Big hugs....

[@CuriousBeingbyTina]

I might :-) Thank you for the support!

[@vikingskuld]

Awesome i would love to have seen that place back in the day. To see it in its prime with the people there would be awesome.

[@alanheadrick7997]

I like your new short clips you are doing. Never seen this place before.

[@CuriousBeingbyTina]

Glad you like them!

[@donnysandley4649]

Wow 😳 I never knew this city existed

[@darrylbaber6329]

Where is this place? It’s how old?

[@CuriousBeingbyTina]

I wrote some information about this site on the top - maybe they get cut off on the phone. Khara-Khoto is an abandoned city in western Inner Mongolia, China. Built in 1032, the city became a thriving trading center under the rule of the Western Xia dynasty, or known as Tangut Empire. It has been identified as the city of Etzina, which appears in The Travels of Marco Polo.

@@CuriousBeingbyTina it’s really something to see places like this to think about an arrogant people who built their cities and probably thought, theirs would stand for ever. In so many cases be abandoned by people left behind. For whatever reason the people just had no more use for the city. The western part of America has places that people lived and communities thrived for a while a little over 100 years ago today you can barely tell that there was any people living there. To know that some of these places had several thousand people living there is remarkable and they left only walls and foundations that are mostly crumbling and will blow away in the wind some day

[@judyschille8739]

Here’s my question, what is the environment all sand when they built this place?

[@Johnrack]

Very interesting Tina. Make I make one suggestion. Perhaps you could add a short text scroll on the video regarding the ancient site, giving some basic details regarding its location, history, possible age, etc, but locate it towards the bottom of the video. The text you have on the video at the top is partially cut off.

[@CuriousBeingbyTina]

Thank you for the feedback, John. When I checked the shorts videos from my computer, the bottom parts got cut off so I moved the text bar (history, ages, etc.) to the top. Good to know that on phones the top portion gets cut off. I'll revise the text locations in future clips.

​@@CuriousBeingbyTinaverbal descriptions are better please, we cannot watch video and read text at the same time.

[@SacredDreamer]

Yes. Something catastrophic has happened and we can't find the history . Include Babylon - that great city , no-one destroyed it when they conquered, they treasured it .. So ,, whats going on 🤔🤔 who or what is responsible for this destruction

[@chrischristofis8501]

Where?

[@CuriousBeingbyTina]

In western Inner Mongolia, China.

[@chrischristofis8501]

@@CuriousBeingbyTina Amazing ! Thank you

[@chrischristofis8501]

I often wonder why the Great Wall was built, who lived outside the wall, its a history we know little about in the west 🙄
