Real Crusades History love it dude. Literally made me tear up. I’m so happy. So when we chillin? Hit me up 🤙

[@ascaloncrusader]

I’m not joking, we gotta chill soon.

[@ascaloncrusader]

God I love this. I’m sad I didn’t to go when I was there. I read somewhere that the Templars used the tunnel to evade a tax of the Genoese or the Pisans then ended up using it as an escape in 1291? That sounds accurate?

[@DDFergy1]

How deep? How long? How was it built? What year was it built? Which Templars built it?

[@tacleohjoe7577]

Give him money

That tunnel looks like my dream house. I'll have to find proper translation but : what you call barrel is usually called arch or vault / vaulted ceiling (I have to refind the medieval architecture encyclopedia I once watch) and it is standard roman /Christian architecture since oval/circle is the strongest shape in nature.

Great video. Do more of this! I like it.

[@isaac07517]

Jaques DeMolay did nothing wrong. Great video

Sometimes I wonder of all the ancient relics and artificats that passed through this city and what might have been lost.

[@leifcrenshaw3425]

Interesting, I've never seen that before thanks for sharing.

[@mariongranbruheim4090]

Excellent! 😀

[@WarnerJoshuah]

Do you know how they would conceal the exit to the port?

[@danq.5140]

Trip of a lifetime :)

[@Beachbumartist]

Man that was fantastic

[@Bonita.ch1]

FASCINATING!!! 🤗💕

[@wargamerxyz2597]

I've got a question to you regarding your trip. Do you have to make it on your own or there are organized trips focusing on crusades? I'm planning to do such a trip in the next year so any help will be appreciated. Regards

[@macmckulis7440]

Wonderful

[@kvitravn6354]

Great vid I always enjoy learning true history of my brothers.. Thank you may God bless you may he protect you and keep you..

Question: When the Templar's built fortifications or Temples/commanderies, etc., did they do all the work themselves or hire local labor to do it under supervision? (anyone)

[@rollastoney]

High high was that tunnel ceiling aprox? Guy in front was about scraping the top of his dome.

[@TWHueyGuitar]

The Crusading Era is fascinating. It would be nice if you produced a series of videos about the Crusades from the Islamic historians' viewpoint (i.e. their primary sources).

[@RealCrusadesHistory]

I use Islamic primary sources all the time. Rarely do I make a video without them. Here's one in which I make extensive use of Baha ad-Din's account of the Battle of Jaffa: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXvWfIOvd9yjZ5o

[@RedSalute]

@@RealCrusadesHistory Yes the sources you use are solid, however I think that what Travis is inquiring about are videos from the perspective or viewpoint of the Muslims and Arabic inhabitants of the region, as opposed to the Christians or Europeans. For instance, I really enjoyed your video about Usama ibn Munqidh, but it would be great to watch something from the Arabic perspective about their encounters with the Europeans (in battle and/or peace time), their campaigns (victories and defeats), daily life, the court intrigues, customs, culture etc.
