You should team up with praveen.mohan he’s done videos on these sites

Praveen’s channel is huge now, he’s done very well.

@@AncientArchitects a collaboration would be awesome between you to I’ve learned so much from your videos

@@AncientArchitects , doesnt praveen have evidence that this pyramid temple is actually hindu, but converted to buddhist?

m8 i think isn't budist but Hindu temple...

Always be like that

Buddhist monks say Borobudur is not a place of worship for Buddhists. Even more interesting, critical thinking has begun to emerge that Borobudur is not a Buddhist temple and is older as you mentioned

@@cybercyrus5247 ...no they don't. Buddhist monks literally hold a Vesak ceremony there once a year at minimum.

It won't be older than Buddha.

Nice

Yes like megalitic site gunung padang in west java

Thanks Kev!

I’m purposefully trying to broaden my knowledge. I’ll still do videos on Egypt, but there’s a big wide world out there :)

@@AncientArchitects Yes, indeed you are! You mentioned this to me on Twitter the other night when I was Tweeting several pics about Kuelap, Beehive structures and Zimbabwe! So many megalithic sites, hard to cover them all in a lifetime, but don't stop trying!

Hello Rivera, who are the Bamiyan? Could you please educate me more on this? I’m doing a research on how an Egyptian tribes migrated to Indonesia via India, and some of them went to Western China. Thanks 🙏🏽

I will do. Thanks

@@ayoesuola that sounds interesting, where can i learn about that

The Taliban destroyed them, and ISIS is doing the same to ancient relics in Mesopotamia. The religious fanatics are vandals.

@@danielwatson6529 I’m working on the research as I’m responding to your message. The research led me to start Anago Nation on Facebook in 2012, and more interesting discoveries are being made. Anthropological research is interesting, except that life is too short to know enough. India migrated from Egypt 100s of years before Israel, and this is an indication that people left Egypt with cultural and spiritual knowledge !

Yes! I bet most structures of the world were painted once upon a time!

@@AncientArchitects There's also a late-modern aesthetic which abhors colour as "vulgar" - Victorian whitewashing of churches to eliminate the didactic murals, etc. Chartres cathedral is one to imagine - now impressive stony grey, but in period Disney in multi-colour!

The Assassins Creed Odyssey game does a really good job of showing how colourful ancient Greece probably was.

Its true. But since the majority of people today grew up seeing monuments being weathered, it has become the norm for them. And if they tried to repaint all the monuments, you'd see a lot of people complaining, as odd as it sounds. Imagine the Pyramids of Giza being so white it reflects the sunlight. But to allow for that to happen, they'd have to fix or replace so many of the original blocks, it could be argued it wouldn't even be the original pyramids anymore. And since Cleopatra's time, people knew the pyramids as the dull orange blocks we see today. It's become their iconic look. Speaking of iconic, the Temple of Artemis...okay, I'll stop.

I imagine that even neolithic stone circles were decorated with paint and cloth.

Wow! That’s sounds amazing

Yet you betrayed them by converting to a religion which breaks idols and statues of other religion

​@@happybunny6152okay kid. That's not how you promote your religion. A very bad idea tbh.

​@@happybunny6152We Javanese muslim do not distroy the temple or status on it. 😂

Islam is a mental illness i hope one day will wake up

Thank you. I enjoyed learning about this one

Happy Easter!

Thanks Dan

same

Dwarka - yes! I need to do a video on that

@@DybbukDEpstein that's the point. At what point was this city above water? What happened? It's obviously there...?

@@DybbukDEpstein there's a massive temple complex in Dwarka called the Dwarkadhish Temple

@Out Brake I've been watching Praveen for years now. Ancient Indian architecture fascinates me.

@Out Brake The current temple was built 600 years ago.

Making these videos has saved mine as I was told I had to shield and wasn’t allowed to do anything. In a house with 2 small children too! Hard work. Hearing your words really means a lot to me. Thank you.

@@AncientArchitects Well gosh, the isolation with your family turned out to be an advantage for many of us who just soak up your content. Your videos are so professional, leaving room for alternative research and opinions while being consistent, showing us, in detail, how you arrive at your conclusions. I’m such a fan! And managing a young family at the same time! Your professionalism is acknowledged here. (Retired first grade teacher... where the rubber meets the road in life.)

Thanks for such an awesome recommendation

And that’s just the restoration side of it. That’s is some serious good hearted funding there. The historical pics were great to see and then the new. Amazing 🤟☮️👍

I will do. The construction process will be interesting.

Thanks Lynn

Thanks for watching. Enjoyed making this one

I know what you mean. I never learned about these places either! I have 3 more videos on random places done and uploaded already!

This is one of 7 wonders of the world

@@JalanRina Is it? Perhaps you're confusing it with Chichen Itza because they look quite similar... Which is a very interesting thing to notice. There's some almost identical pyramids, one in Guatemala, and one in India (check out Praveen Mohan for the in depth video).

Nam Myoho Renge Kyo 🙏

Thank you

@@AncientArchitectsThank you!! 😄😊😊👍👍 Happy Easter!!! 🐇🐇🐇🐇🐣🐣🐣🐣

I'm no rock buff either, but according to some actual geologists, the name is only derived from 'The Andes'. Which makes it really just a geology label. Occurrences of Andesite are caused by several processes such as stratovolcanic activity or the partial melting of basaltic rocks at the meeting of continental plates and ocean ridges. Basically it's ubiquitous and can be found globally.

There are many ancient temple (we called it Candi) in Indonesia like Borobudur, Prambanan, Istana Ratu Boko, Plaosan, Gedong Songo, Plaosan, etc.

Did u know that ankor wat got some inspiration from prambanan temple in indonesia, just check out its history bruh

Amazing isn’t it

@@AncientArchitects really is almost everything ancient they implemented art. They put their hearts and souls into their constructions. It was amazing to say the least.

Happy Easter mate!

Yes!

So am I

Thank you

It’s amazing

It’s beautiful isn’t it

@@AncientArchitects Yes, definitely Keep up the excellent content 👍🏾

From now on, I shall call this special day Easter Sunday, after the sunrise in the East. Will it catch on?

@@AncientArchitects well, it does have a certain ring (sun/moon) to it

@@AncientArchitects Oh yes, Oestre, Spring Goddess of the Germanic tribes. This was celebrated long before Christianity was forced upon the Europeans.

Thanks mate - appreciate that! Glad you’re here and thanks for commenting

@@AncientArchitects your welcome mate and thank you too.

👍

Nam Myoho Renge Kyo 🙏

It’s an amazing site

It really is

You’ve been to so many great places!

@@AncientArchitects Thank you;like I've said before, much of it was down to luck & parents who were more into going to somewhere wild/ancient/off the beaten track than following the crowds. Also we were - as a family - based for 26+ years in Oman,which already put us half way to places like this beauty,above. If it's any consolidation, at one point,all I wanted to do was go to a theme park or skiing, like all my friends & I had to put up with quite a lot of bullying ,for not having holidays like everyone else. Spending time in The Vatican Library, made me odd,when most of my contempories were on a beach,in the South of France. But,we had a house on the beach in Nairobi,to get away from the the house in Oman! As a result we got to to Ethiopia & see the Rock Cut Churce,thanks to my mother and her interests - she fought against female genital mutilation & still does at 93! At the time I did know - to some extent - how lucky I was and now in retrospect I realise the places we went & the people we met was an education in & of it/themself. It also gave me contacts, that are way better know now than at the time. I might have mentioned before that Charles Hapgood was a godfather,so I was aware of ideas that are now almost 'mainstream' ,at the time they were considered almost insane! It was a strange childhood,but,NOW,one I wouldn't change for anything. But,came from a family of travelers, my Great great grandfather,was one of first 200 Europeans to travel the Missouri trail,my great great uncle got lost on the Franklin Expedituon & another traveled Australian. My mother was in thevArgentine by the age of 16 & traveled the World breaking polo ponies & teaching children to ride,one of her best friends was The Marharini of Jaipur! Just a huge shame,that we were never a family that took photos. Have a great week👋🌟💯🙏✌

Between borobudur and the kraton ngayogyakarto (castle of jogjakarta) and the south sea of java

Did u know that there is a huge megalithic pyramid way older than egypt pyramid discovered in indonesia?? Its called gunung padang pyramid!! So our indonesian peoples is already had great architecture knowledge long before hinduism & buddhism came to our peoples

@@goldgen7352 Gunung padang is an interesting archeological sites. But it's nowhere surpass the egyptian pyramids in size and engineering marvel.

@@akun10years10 its because gunung padang is 2000 years older than egyptian pyramid, its like u compared today architecture vs 2000 years ago

Is it? I’ll check this out!

Kesaria stupa measured 120x120x32 m, Borobudur measured 123x123x35 m. It is large but Borobudur is larger.

@@wancoet i mean Kesaria was originally taller than Borobodur

@@AncientArchitects Theres also another massive stupa in Bihar called the Lauriya Nandangarh though it is in poor condition. Bihar also has the Mahobodhi Temple built during the Gupta Empire and the Vikramashila Mahavira or Mahavidhyashalaya (University) which was built during the Pala Empire. The tallest Buddhist Stupa ever built was the Kanishka Stupa in modern day Pakistan which was built during the 2nd century ce during the Kushan Empire although almost nothing remains of it today.

@@dwarasamudra8889 even if it was larger, it's basically just a stupa and can't be called a temple. So won't change anything

I agree

Very likely!
