15 Forgotten Ancient Megaprojects

Throughout history, humans have embarked upon huge construction projects to adapt the land around us… that, in many ways, remain the lasting memories of long-lost civilizations. While we're familiar with a number of these around the world, there are plenty more that aren't as well known, but are arguably just as impressive. From vast carvings, to pyramids, artificial islands, and even underground cities… it's time to explore 15 forgotten ancient megaprojects.

Very beautiful places, ancients ruins, it is awesome. And the history of each of them makes it even more interesting. You learn so much in this channel that it is definitely worth watching it. I recommend it ti anyone who wants to learn about ancient cultures and civilizations. The narrator does an excellent job describing historical places, with his fine narration, and pronouncing different names of places, which is awesome. I applaud him for the excellent job he does. Kudos to you, Sir, I am impressed. 👍👍👏👏🙌🙌

Excellent video! I work near Blythe, CA so I loved seeing that the Blythe Intaglios made the list. They are very cool in person. There is also a kokopelli intaglio near Blythe, CA. Thank you!

It'll be good if we're still lined up, seems like the sweet spots. Some use light hitting a certain spot. When it doesn't line up, we have a problem.

Ancient Egyptian, Greek and later Roman and much later European Stonecutter and still Stonecutters, will leave a partially carve stone in it's place it they discover a Fault in the stone that will make it useful for it's intended purpose. While today the stone will still be used for something less important, In Ancient times, once the Master Stonecutter found the fault, the stone would be abandoned and another cut for it's purpose. Modern Egypt is "littered" with such stones, because it was more "cost effective" to abandon working the stone then continuing to Hand Carve it from the surrounding rock.

The larger stone blocks creating the foundation at Balbek are not from the Romans. The Romans built on the more ancient foundation of larger blocks. Same with the Incan site.

interesting, but hardly forgotten... I've visited Saqqara and have read, or seen videos, about others.

Your 'Media Offline' on screen flashes are extremely annoying and extremely distracting. Cannot watch the rest of this.

[@istrumguitars]

Yeah that’s amateur AF. You’d think a professional would be able to organize and manage their raw footage.

[@randalmayeux8880]

Really? I never noticed anything! What are you talking about?

[@AnnikaDaydreamer1921]

What? You mean the flashes he edited in, like at 1.10? Lol.
