Another great episode! I love what you do, and it must be fun to take your family with you. Great things to share with the family. I love Rome,, but I like seeing these lesser known sites. I had no idea there were so many. Thumbs up indeed! Thanks from America!!!

Do you think any of these might be for smelting or creating fly-ash activated geopolymer?

@jasontegeler9658 5 ай бұрын

The tub with the drain is for crushing grapes...the cave with the dovecoves...it is a vessel storage compartment, for monitoring wine aging...the whole picture being, that wine was produced at this site.

This is really cool I'm going to be watching in the future. I think the rooms with the square holes were for storing wine. Maybe the library😮

I think it would be very interesting to take sound producing equipment inside their and perform experiments .

The lookout was lonely in his vigil and started attracting birds for company and before he knew it he had a colony ? Great video.

'Riddles ' means anything pre Roman ?

It is a challenge to wrap your head around the reason for making honeycomb style walls . Where they temporary spaces for something else entirely ? The structure would not allow sound to escape very easily . Natural cooling system ? There is a cave in Israel that also has pigeon holes that are similar but these are well structured. The tub with the drain hole was also very odd. Thanks for the share. :O)

Not sure where to start even with just this small sample given. Interesting indeed.

9:25 could it be an ancient wine cellar/ wine making site. The holes looking slightly up, to keep the bottles from falling. And the big tub was for stepping on grapes and the juice squished out the drain? I remember the Lucille ball episode, and this is very reminiscent to me. It does look kinda like medieval dovecotes, but the tub is where I start to think differently. Other caves could be used for long term storage too. And it’s also Italy, and also, it’s a very popular wine making area of the country

Thank you for the video, btw. What a beautiful way to wake up In The morning 😊✌️☝️☝️

That tub is most likely for crushing fruit for wine.

similar to underground chambers in eastern turkey. my guess is that it was some kind of farming. Maybe Mushrooms?

dove cote over the lake?

So called pigeon holes are steel grid reinforcements for supporting to concrete walls and columns. The whole area was once a huge building which collapsed and buried at some point. And now there are just left petrified imprints of what it was.

Could one imagine a highly organized dovecote information infrastructure?

@BernardCombe 4 сағат бұрын

It make me think about a p'ace to press grapes and then put then in recipients puted in the holes to make some wine....

What is a conglomerate? Like a geopolymer?

@StoneRiddles 5 ай бұрын

a coarse-grained sedimentary rock composed of rounded fragments embedded in a matrix of cementing material such as silica.

7:00 the very first thought would be that the holes have something to do with acoustics. As if they needed no echo whatsoever for some purpose.

Pigeon house.

looks like a sound chamber. Much like on the island of Malta.,or the chapel at Rosslyn, in Scotland

wonderful video of your stunning exploration! mille grazie! such "columbaria", btw. have been found in many places around the world, also on the island of tenerife, for example! you might be interested in looking into the work of sylvie ivanova who was one of the first researchers that i know of to dig deeper into ancient building techniques. here is one of her italian videos from some years ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqmoZmCdeb2DsNU at min10:10 approximately she is at a similar spot like yours ... .
