Don't be so hard on yourself! Believe me when I say I have missed countless details while watching my step, holding the cell in one hand, looking ahead to where I want to go and not breaking a leg or worse!!!! When I edit the videos I see things I missed live...the good news is that it gives me a great excuse and reason to go back for a 2nd or 3rd visit!!!

Possibly professional labor or highly paid craftsmanship went into the details. Moving the heavy stuff…maybe.

Amazingly awesome!😎

Sagalassos is on our places to explore. It's on the way back to Hierapolis for the 3rd time! Kibyra is now on the list, too!!! Thanks! My ultimate bucket list is to visit and explore every single theater in Turkey! Although, that might take more time than I realize.

@@PathstothePastPresentFuture Türkiye is the country with the most Roman/Greek heritage with more than +70 ancient theaters. Arykanda and Myra should definitely be seen. As far as I know, there are about 15 ancient theaters in Antalya alone.

@onurkalayco6267 Türkiye is often misunderstood for its incredibly rich history, which dates back thousands of years! In my opinion, due to its unique location throughout ancient times and even today, it was the center of the known World. I started a list of Theaters to visit and came up with 74. I have a feeling there may be more, but due to pilferage, earthquakes, and time, they are just out of site beneath the sands of time.

Arykanda looks to be in the region that has several ancient cities north of Myra. We were supposed to travel there in December but due to the constant rains we cancelled the trip. I need to post a list of ancient cities and then have everyone vote on which ones they want me to explore.

It is hard to imagine how they accomplished so much.

Imagine how long it would take.🤔

@@PathstothePastPresentFuturewell instead of stones we could use concrete I think?

True! But would it be as comfortable? BYOP - Bring your own pillows! 😂

we were probably better tbh

Its an odd perception for sure. I personally believe they were smarter. In the sense of being more in tune with nature, how to use regenerative methods instead of destructive, etc. They thought about all the small details we do now, if not more. These seats, Roman roads being built at a very slight angle towards the edge in order to allow rain water to run off instead of pool up, entire documentaries worth of examples exist. And somehow, people still think we are so far ahead simply because we have the microchip...when in reality, life was probably far better at peak advancement pre-tech.

I think there’s a reasonable argument to be made that they (the educated or craftsmen) were more intelligent, certainly more capable than the average US population today.

To think that the people back then were not as intelligent compared to modern people is a great conversation! When I see ruins that are somewhat still intact from over 1500 years ago compared to easily our structures can disappear into ash...well, that says something about their ingenuity and craftmanship.

To imagine not being or having the distractions of our tech today is something you can experience among the ruins. To stand on the edge of a wall overlooking a valley 2000 years ago with nothing but light and dark separating your days had to provide plenty of time to hone the skills to survive and figure 'things' out without interruption; except maybe your stomach growling for food that you had to go catch or pick.

Where are you seeing that?

This happened from a different massive earthquake over 1500 years ago that destroyed this cities water supply. What is happening on Santorini is scary! One report has the number of quakes up to 7700 in the last week!!!

The real issue is the height of each step up and down. There are modern stadiums that are much steeper.

Termessos is an overwhelming feeling of absolute amazement. We felt like little kids in a candy store with an unlimited credit line! It is so rare to explore sites that have not been cleaned up and put back together. Truly breathtaking and worthy of more visits next winter.

Wow! Wow! Wow! I might have said that a few hundred times in the 5 hours we were there.

You nailed the allure and mysteriousness of this once impressive city!

Ditto! 😉

The translation is coming soon!!! I contacted a few ancient Greek language experts who are sending me there interpretations. Watch for the Community post coming soon!

So far this has been my favorite ancient ruins to visit. It was hard work, but so worth it! Watch for Part 4 releasing tomorrow night at 7:00PM EST where I fully explore the Theater of Termessos.

The trees seemed rather young. The lack of undergrowth could also be due to altitude. So many mysteries!

@@PathstothePastPresentFuture I believe we've possibly gone through more recent cataclysms, there's hardly any old growth forests and only a handful of truly ancient trees, the large majority of forests around the world are only a few hundred years old at most, even in rather remote places such as this. It's just odd and hardly anybody seems to question it.

@@RxYouth we noticed that there were no stumps of old growth. On the next visit or perhaps a future research video might discover more ‘unique’ information. 🤔

@PathstothePastPresentFuture yeah you start noticing it more and more all over. Glad I found your channel tho, saw a vid of this place years ago and have wondered why more people haven't covered it. You also seem to go to some other cool places I haven't seen. Turkey seems to be an absolute gold mine of untapped ancient and megalithic structures, I just keep hearing about more and more.

@@RxYouth Turkey is very rich in ancient places that have not even been mentioned or talked about! We are already planning a few adventurous expeditions this spring and summer to places so rarely visited that it may seem almost not real. Just like the Temple of Apollo. Did you see that video yet? ua-cam.com/video/bOI_kmi8vqQ/v-deo.html The size and scale of that place is absolutely amazing! Until then, we have so much more to produce and get online.

I can’t wait to go back and venture down paths we saw but didn’t follow. 5 hours is more than enough time to cover the main parts but we want more!!

Of course they are not the same. It’s just a nickname based on the local terrain.

My guess is there would not be much there. Now if some really rich person could do a thorough lidar scan of the area…that would be most revealing!!!

I could spend weeks up there! We only spent about 5 hours. The next part of this adventure is releasing this week that explores the ruins of the theater.

@@PathstothePastPresentFuture can't wait, thank you

@@PathstothePastPresentFuture lima Peru 🇵🇪, Lake Titicaca is my number one place I want to go I don't know why but since I've been a child in fifth grade that place has been calling me since I've done a report on it in 5th grade and got A- minu on it ,may I add,lol.I feel some kind of connection to the Inca people

@@Sean-i4r There are places on the planet that seem to draw us to with such a passion that it really makes you wonder if there is more to the grand scheme of life at play.

Not in Turkey!!!🇹🇷

@PathstothePastPresentFuture I know,and that is too bad for people like who,just wanna connect spiritually and weed helps,lol

At least 2 earthquakes!!

Who knows! It could have been.

bro u're tripping that's a bell

@ it looks like a helmet but now I have to agree it probably is a bell.

Thank you for telling me this! I will cut it out in the next part and just get right into the theater exploration!

Really!? I am getting in touch with a professor who teaches ancient language this week and he will hopefully be willing to help with interpretations on this and so many other pieces we've videoed.

OH! I didn't see that! Great call!

First off I don’t think doing 7+ years in a Turkish prison would be any fun. Even if it was ok to take, we’re talking at least 200 pounds or more!

Hit the gym bro.​@PathstothePastPresentFuture

And how would he hide that in costumes? Years in prison you see

Exactly!
