The ancient city designed to track time

[@carolinaaaaaaaaaaaag]

I am an intern at the Teotihuacán archeological site and always wondered where drone footage ended up as I often see people using drones to film there. Nice documentary! I was so excited to see my home and workplace featured in one of my favorite KZbin channels. Much love from Mexico.

[@spinakker14]

Carolina Gomez I envy your job :)

[@RahulKumar-ng2gh]

So,do you know the whole story about this archaeological site, make a podcast and ping me.

[@salokin3087]

How does one get a job that involes traveling all over the world?

[@decoder6]

making videos that get millions of views for a media company

[@largofella]

Journalism I guess. Idk

[@zxaj]

Google it LOL

[@cup_check_official]

am i the only one who thinks travelling is over rated? yeah, sure it is fun but i cant imagine doing it all the time. There's nothing better than my home and my cozy bed

[@BioShockGX]

Tell Me This Depends on the person. Some people can't stand staying in home.

[@Vox]

So excited to finally bring the Vox Borders documentaries to light. I'm releasing the first official documentary on October 17th, across KZbin and Facebook. The other 5 will come weekly after that. If you want to make sure you don't miss them, you can follow me on Facebook: facebook.com/johnnyharrisvox or sign up for my newsletter: www.vox.com/borders-email. Thanks for sharing in this journey with me, it's been an incredible one. Can't wait to start releasing the documentaries! - Johnny

[@drizzylmg752]

Even though we built many outstanding buildings, these ancient cities will always by far be more impressive to me.

[@ParadiseProductions3]

You guys should travel to the ancient city of Tikal, Guatemala. It's very fascinating especially since the Mayans of Tikal completely vanished without a trace and scientists are trying to discover where they went and how and why.

[@Ildskalli]

I'll tell you where they are: dead :D No, seriously, they most likely collapsed as a civilization after ecological changes disrupted their nutrient sources. Afterewards, they never were the same again.

[@Ildskalli]

They like to call themselves that, and they're probably descended from them, but they certainly did not inherit most of the culture and civilization of the Mayans.

[@nataliacloves]

Ildskalli They still speak the languages of Mayans and still partake in Mayan culture. So don't assume they aren't "real" Mayan.

[@Ildskalli]

Natalia: How would you know that? We know of Ancient Mayan only as a written language, without a phonetic counterpart. It's logical to assume that some of these current languages (notice the plural) have evolved from Ancient Mayan - but how much did they change, and how much was lost? Also, acculturation in the Mayan regions from later Mesoamerican cultures was strong. The same happened with the Inka, who annexed vast swathes of land to their realm and imposed a centralized and simplified cult, for instance - which is now recognized as part of the heritage of dozens of cultures in South America, from the Amazon to the Bolivian Altiplano and the Atacama desert (even though it's not, as these rites were imposed long ago by the Inka).

[@mamita8881]

GreyCloud they are the atlntis people.

[@slotmoon]

Can you imagine how beautiful it must've been to sit on those structures at night, looking down into that water and seeing the stars up above?

[@CarlosTorres-vb5mb]

Hey by the way human sacrifices weren't violent and gruesome. These were ancient people's who willingly gave their lives for the gods, it was an honor, they wanted to do this. You cannot really say that this was horrible or terrible. A comparison is maybe joining the army, where you fight and may die, and dieing in the army is an honor as you died for your country. I know the comparison is a stretch, but so is applying modern day standards and moral to these people. Especially considering that human experimentation continued into the 20th century.

[@luisfer9361]

Carlos Torres Sí. Los prisioneros de guerra se ofrecían a que les sacaran el corazón. Sas mamón. No todas las tradiciones indígenas son buenas y no por eso hay que decir mentiras intentando atribuirles valores contemporáneos.

[@DerpTrollson]

Luis, lo que dices no tiene mucho sentido. Las tribus enemigas, aunque no todas, no quisieron adaptarse o unirse a los aztecas. Como esperabas que fueran tratados? Dijeras tu, se pelearon contra los incas en SA o trataron de conquistar a todos en NA. Pero no, los aztecas estaban establecidos en un area. Si llega una tribu de quien sabe donde y esta en tu contra. Sacrificarlo a mi dios seria lo primero que haria.

[@XavierbTM1221]

Luis Fernando Núñez Manautou No todo mundo era apto para ser sacrificado Solo los principes, sacerdotes, generales y comandantes militares de alto rango eran sacrificados (los campesinos y artesanos casi nunca eran sacrificados) y para ellos no era un castigo si no un honor, eran la sangre que alimentaba a los dioses La tradicion azteca decia que el destino de aquellos muertos en batalla, dando a luz, o siendo sacrificados era acompañar al dios sol en su viaje eterno Lee un poquito mas chavo

[@XavierbTM1221]

Luis Fernando Núñez Manautou de hecho cuando los españoles capturaron a Cuauhtemoc se sorprendieron cuando escucharon que el habria preferido morir en batalla y que queria entonces morir sacrificado como lo marcaba la tradicion indigena

[@luisfer9361]

Benjamin Thomas Chavo qué wey? Tener los años por tenerlos de qué sirve? El sesgo nacionalista no sirve de nada, hay que ser críticos del presente como del pasado. Los pueblos indígenas que habitaron en nuestro país fueron vanguardistas en muchos ámbitos y hay que celébralos por ello. Pero no hay que taparnos los ojos con falacias al respecto de los sacrificios humanos. Eran arbitrarios y lejos de ser voluntarios. Lee a Bernal Díaz del Castillo, Miguel León Portilla o a R. C. Padden, no te limites a los libros de la SEP. Y si estás terco aún en tu defensa ciega de los sacrificios humanos te recomiendo "Notas sobre el cruce de culturas" de Todorov par que te des cuenta que el relativismo cultural respecto al valor de la vida no es válido. Por último, no juzgues a la gente sin conocerla. Si es que sí eres más longevo que yo aún te falta demostrarlo la verdad...

This people managed to make building that lined up this the sun and start and could tell time, and I can't even change my phone background

Helio Andalucia ... You are simply ignorant and miserable to continuously leave mean comments on here. why are you so mean and angry? Even if English is his second language, do you speak or write anything other than English? Goodness, humble yourself and stop being an online bully.

So happy to see my country here! Such a beautiful heritage!

[@babindinda9414]

I'm so glad that you did this video..I did a whole research project on the layout of this city in my archaeology class, and boy must I say this is one of my favorite cities in the ancient world! Recommendation: I would love to see a video on Mohenjo_daro or just old ancient lost cities.. It would be very cool!

[@batshapedheart]

In a time where ignorance is rampant, thank you for these efforts at educating and expanding minds

[@eyuin5716]

The Mayans who were subjugated by the Terotihucani civilization did record some of their conquests. In the city state of Tikal in the year 378 AD, their leader was overthrown by a general of the Teotihacani King Spearthrower Owl.

I just found this KZbin channel and I think this might be the best discovery ever.

[@dnaer741]

Finally! The documentaries are getting published.

[@iGFXDave]

More than a calandar, it’s a religious site built to worship the gods of the sun, the moon and rain, and to keep them happy through sacrifices. It was also a central point for trading in the Aztec world.

[@ashhketchumm]

wasnt this built way before the aztecs

[@marcosmiken]

Yes it was built more than 600 years before the aztecs. Their society was during the late classical period.

[@MrCrashDavi]

don't forget football

[@mohamud60]

iGFXDave aztec? you mean ancient myans cuz their the ones we dont what language they spoke and why they disappeared 600 a.d and the aztec were destroyed by the spanish conquistadors

[@ichirinov3833]

Wrong, the Aztec culture appeared many centuries later. That was the Teotihuacan culture, completely different and actually more related to the Mayan culture.

[@aggad16]

This is the best show on Vox

[@bamm86]

The fact that these people just disappeared (and nobody knows where to) is the most interesting part about all of this.

[@krissases]

This guy is the best guy at Vox

[@mattjohnston2]

I will definitely be here to watch the docs. I've been excited waiting for them!

[@julian5659]

The human sacrifice wasn't something terrible for them, it was a really special thing ever for the one who's gonna be sacrificed

[@syamimaziz3802]

An epic ancient timepiece.

I don't need a newsletter. I'm that excited!

[@edahiguajardo9015]

Actually we now know that both pyramids were built for the worship of water deities: Tlaloc (masculine aspect) and Chalchiuhtlicue (femenin aspect). The sun and the moon were just guesses of early archaeologist.

I'm calling it now. This is going to be trending, and I was here before the masses

I wonder why they don't mention it's Mexico at all in the video?

[@MrCrashDavi]

Mexico is a shithole that doesn't the deserve the archeological and natural wonders it has.

because it doesn't matter in which country this city is now

Kinda a weird time to visit Mexico City, in light of the disasters there's. Also weird to see Teotihuacan that empty. It's typically full of people, best of luck Mexico, God bless!

[@frank-gavinmoratalla7942]

Looking forward to the documentary series!

[@hameley12]

The best video I have seen from Vox, the Itza people back then were incredible and way ahead of their time. Please, keep on making videos like this one. Thank you! Location: Yucatán, Mexico Cultures: Maya civilization Periods: Late Classic to Early Postclassic Archaeological Site: Chichén Itzá The Maya name "Chichén Itzá" means "At the mouth of the well of the Itza."

cant wait to see it!

[@isaacrescala4464]

Hey Vox, really nice video! But couldn't you at least have mentioned once that this is in Mexico? Media doesn't usually show these sides of our incredible country, so it's a bit sad that you didn't give a bit of cred to Mexico. Cheers

[@noemilopez349]

I've visited Teotihuacan a few times but I didn't really knew all of that :) thanks for the knowledge!

[@NathanShields]

Any detail about what exactly they were tracking would have been a good addition

[@LineFinders]

There are lots of interesting alignments of monuments around the world including stonehenge, the pyramids of giza and the obelisks. It seems as though they are built to worship alignments of energy, and this still happens today with the international peace garden and the washington monument.

Vox, whoever is in charge just needs to step down and put this guy in charge. He actually knows how to report a story. He shows the facts and he has a conclusion to his stories. They aren't open ended opinion pieces. This is true journalism. You better keep this guy, only quality thing about your channel anymore.

Interesting video. That city must have taken forever to build. Very impressive what people could do without metal tools, although the city was probably built up over several lifetimes. For those talking about Europeans here in the comments, note that these people were long gone by the time Spaniards arrived.
