Thank you! That's really flattering to hear from an ex director of a large broadcaster. I put my heart and soul into this video so it means a lot to read this comment.

It's very easy to philosophize and or speculate from a desk and a computer. Right up until the moment you're faced with the problem of lifting out of bed and moving a block of granite 800 km away weighing 1,300 tons. Apropos, granite blocks in Baalbek are also from Aswan and this quarry is over 1500 km away from Baalbek! ua-cam.com/video/YLiBdde48pU/v-deo.html
A stunning example of a Roman town! The Romans were incredible engineers and their invention and use of hydraulic concrete was amazing! It's breathtaking how many buildings, roads, bridges and aqueducts built by them are still in good condition 2,000 years after their time!
I was at Caesarea in April of this year on a motorcycle tour of Israel through Israel Motorcycle Tours while riding on a Yamaha T700 with 4 others. I managed to walk through the hippodrome and stood in the amphitheater, absolutely breathtaking!
The harbor was some of the first known examples of Hydraulic Cement being used. 'Hydraulic cement is more durable than regular cement and can be used in wet or dry conditions, as well as above or below ground. It is also resistant to chemicals and heat. It can be applied underwater and will cure even when exposed to high levels of moisture.'
I believe Herod would have hired Roman engineers to plan the job, then local slaves to build it probably. But of course the technology existed already. He knew where to get his talent.
Job well done with putting this together, very informative! As a Roman Catholic, Italian American as well as being a builder, I found this awe inspiring what our ancestors were able to build without modern machinery. Absolutely amazing! Thank you!!
I know it blows me away too,. They were so resourceful and ingenious. Like they would have needed divers to help build this harbor, but without scuba gear, to name just one challenge.
Seriously dude - this video was amazing! I watch a lot of videos on Israel & have seen much about Caesarea before but you managed to frame it in it's context perfectly within historical events! And I love your commentary - I even learnt a couple of things. I had never seen that satellite view of the original harbour & did not know about the Tsunami in 115. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing what you do next! I'm hoping Bethlehem and Jaffa might be among your plans. I don't see a lot of good information on either over the last 2000 years. My only complaint? There were only 2 videos!
Wow thanks Doug! I loved this comment! It's great to have such enthusiastic viewers like you. I'm releasing a new one this week about a different region in the Mediterranean so stay tuned, and then unfortunately due to life, it will take a couple more months before I can release the 4th, but it will be on another historical coastal town in Israel, to give you a hint. I'll try to weave Jaffa in there. So if you haven't subscribed make sure you are so you get to see it. I just wish they didn't take so long to produce so I could get them out faster.
@@Street-Gems That sounds awesome - I can't wait to see it! The Mediterranean is such a fascinating place. Totally understand about the amount of time to produce a video like this!
I love this time period and the deep dive into some things other videos just glaze over is much appreciated. Like how some things were built. I always wondered what these cities would be like if they stood today.
I loved this video. I figured it was from a channel that had hundreds of thousands of subscribers and was surprised to see how few you have. You deserve millions more and have my sub.

Hi Jordan. This video came up in my feed. Fantastic!. Everything about it was great!. I too love architecture and archaeology. I was a young child in the 1970s when Egypt built the Aswan Dam and the two temples, one being the Temple of Abu Simbel, were dismantled and moved higher up into a manmade recreated mountain-(can't remember the other ones name). Had many a magazine at the time that showed the work and progress in Egypt. My Bible also had many a photograph of ancient buildings and objects. I've devoured that stuff ever since. Thank you for one of the best videos I've watched here on UA-cam!!. Almost thought it was a clip from a major production company! Definitely subbed!!. Looking forward to more of your work!!. ❤️ from Michigan USA
Wow what a compliment 😄 So glad you liked it! I have another one coming soon on a fascinating ancient culture, but I will keep it as a surprise. Thanks so much for this warm comment.
@@Street-Gems I can never get enough History! It even colors the screenplays I write-almost all of them are based on and set in the past; "Period pieces."

Dude honestly a VERY WELL made presentation. Very pleasant to listen to, beautiful visuals and great choice of background music. Hope your channel grows and make it worthwhile for you to continue making quality content!
I know you are tired to read praising by your excellent work. I was editor of a main journalistic tv show in Brazil, and I can say your work in all ways is amazing. I've been to cesárea two times as a tour guide and I must say that place is incredible to visit. It's more than we can thought. Greetings from Brazil! 🇮🇱🇧🇷❤️
@@Street-Gems A journalistic and variety program called Fantástico on Globo TV Brazil. At that time, the largest audience in the country among all channels. My best subject was Antarctica, the Lost Continent. Highly praised, but not as much as these gems you've been directing. 😁🇧🇷
Incredibly well done - clearly thoroughly researched, with a plethora of information, presented in a manner understandable to all, including the historical context, and visually engaging with gentle and majestic music - overall an extraordinary, awe-inspiring video! Bravo! Keep up the fantastic work, dear sir!
Wow thank you for this beautiful compliment. All the components you mentioned are what I kept in mind when creating this video, so I'm really glad it all came through, and that you felt I gave enough historical context. That's always a bit of a challenge because there's just so much history around everything, so you have to know what to include and what to omit. I'd love to have you as a subscriber. I'll be slowly rolling out more videos like this, with one coming soon.
Beautifully done!! Your narration is so interesting, informative, and your voice is smooth and easy to listen to! Your visuals and haunting music are stunning. Thank you. Well worth listening to over and over again. Please make many more and follow this same pattern!
Hi Linda thank you so much for this amazing feedback. I like your description of the music as "haunting". Nice. I have one coming soon, but in the meantime check out my other videos where I do more of the same.
One of the worlds best touristic location for those who love sunbathing and relax surrounded by epic monuments of the ancient world. There is another place like this : in Side, Turkey. Swimming in the sea with such fabulous background is an exciting experience.
Here's to remembering the builders, workmen, women and architects who for the most part remain nameless. The Jewish and other people responsible for such wonders never get the true credit.
Considering this is at LEAST 2000+ years ago just maybe WE shouldn't be patting ourselves on the back so much ! No electricity, NO Bulldozers , NO internet to name a few things ! They just had smarts, willpower and A CAN DO mindset ! They obviously were NOT perfect but considering the times came awful close !
I'm continually "dazzled" by the Roman era temple at Baalbek in nearby Lebanon especially the vast monoliths that were quarried to form the basements of the temples- so huge that some people have fallen back on the old "aliens did it theory" as with the Egyptian pyramids but some researchers maintain that Herod's great temple in Jerusalem of which the famous wailing wall is a remnant may have been built by the same teams as at Baalbek thus making the great Jewish temple essentially a Roman era construction that arguably could outrival Caesarea.
I thought about doing a short video on Baalbek. That's interesting what you say that it was the same builders. It's likely that Herod hired Roman engineers for his projects, almost certainly for the harbor, because how else would his team have known how to make Roman concrete. But yes both Baalbek and the Temple Mount walls are incredibly impressive.
@@markhughes7927 So if you look at that reconstruction at 4:00 that massive fortress on the right is the Anthony Fort, or Antonia Fortress. It's dedicated to Mark Anthony because him and Herod were friends. So technically yes it was part of that entire complex, but I believe nothing is left of it today, at least not on the surface.
The foundations of the Temple of Jupiter, made up of three blocks of granite weighing more than 800 tons and hoisted up to 20 feet, have nothing to do with Roman times. So far, no one has figured out who built them or how.
Really interesting - thanks. I read recently in Lomas & Knight’s ‘The Book of Hiram’ that King Hiram - who aided King Solomon in the building of his house and his Temple - secured the defence of Tyre - his native city - by building an artificial island there which contained all the main civic functions but also utilised a submarine fresh water source - as at Bahrain - to supply water to it through leather pipes and which system lasted for centuries. (Just down the coast from Caesarea.)
The imagery in this video is gorgeous! I also found the historical facts and explanations as to how the city came to be and how people lived back then (for example how ideas were spreading in the cities) really interesting.
So glad your channel came across my YT recommendations. I'll be binge watching your videos. Excellent! I subbed. Your friend from Port Angeles Washington on the beautiful Olympic Peninsula.
Cool! Thanks for subbing :) I'm from Vancouver, Canada. My family lives in Victoria, just across the water from Port Angeles. I've always wanted to take the ferry there from Victoria. Glad you found my channel.

This is an really excellent video with well done camera settings and very interresting maps. Thank you very much. Also the music sounds very appropriate. Can you give me the title.
Thank you the for compliments. The music I got from a site that provides copyright free music but you have to pay for it and I don't think it's available to the general public. But the first song is called Inspiring Turkish Oud. Google music with Oud. very beautiful instrument. The other is called Middle Eastern Duduk. And also Sands of Sadness. Again I don't know if they are findable online.
Excellent video about Caesarea. Three points not covered : 1. The Hellenistic small port of “Stratos” was an earlier settlement at this site, south of “Dor”. 2. Herod’s palace just to the south of the port, opposite the hippodrome; built contemporaneously with his palace fortresses at Herodium and Masada; and, 3. more info about the hydrophilic concrete techniques and materials ( pozzelano ash ), which Augustus Caesar shared with King Herod and their Judean ( Jewish ) subjects, and used for the concrete and stone port extension 400m into the Mediterranean. Also, good on you for not referring to this region as fictitious “Palestine”….. a later Hadrianic propaganda tool ( 135 CE ). 🇨🇦🇮🇱🕎💪☮️
Hey thanks for your comment. So I'm actually considering doing a future short video that focuses more on the harbor of Sebastos. This video was more of a broad history of Caesarea. I did cover Pozzolana in this one, but I want to go into more detail about it in the future. I actually agree with you that I didn't even touch on Herod's palace, and even before your comment, it bothered me, so I could touch on it in that potential future video. About Stratos tower, yeah I know. I felt like it was just adding too much information in this video and didn't want to overwhelm my audience. You should subscribe to my channel because I plan on doing more videos on ancient Israel in the future.
The essay also included a positive account of the Jewish people, with regard to their survival: He has made a marvellous fight in this world, in all the ages; and has done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself, and be excused for it. The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed, and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other peoples have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished. The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality? ~Mark Twain

From the river to the sea you live in a fantasy
Nice work on this city I never knew much about.
Thanks. Nice to hear from a fellow Canadian
you should be more carefull. those palestinan historian cites are robbed by the israelians,
Most of them are ancient Jewish cities.
Fascinating history especially if you love Roman history like I do.
Israel would be a great trip!
I think it is better to say Palestine and not Israel. There is no country called Israel.
Why ? Muslims would destroy it like they did with the entire Middle east.
@@nicbahtin4774 All the destruction and lives lost in the Middle East are to be be blamed on the criminal Western nation you belong to.
That’s just incorrect lmaoooo
@@PakistanIcecream000 correct, western europe colonial rule is where it lies, as well as being enormous enabler, since their history of involvment is towards wishes for geopolitical gain in the region

Funny those that remember will say "palestine" it self was viewed by the arabs as colonial label and the real name is Syria.
Great video for a new channel - very interesting but good job keeping it concise. Excited to see the channel grow!
I'm glad you thought it was concise. It's not always easy to take all this history and distill it into a digestible amount that's coherent.
You mean Palestine's?
ITS ISREAL
@francon4753 he had it right. FREE Palestine from the genocidal maniacs.
Excellent video; breathtaking aerial views!
Excellent! Very informative, appreciate the ancient history! Thank you!
I am loving the ancient maps you used ~ Brilliant!
Thank you. Oh you must watch my 4th video on Ephesus. I do crazy map work there, including a "Google Earth view" of 2000 years ago, as if we had Google Earth. Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/NrXd7UCuxsk/v-deo.htmlsi=lksc33Crww8IqGKt

Thank you Justin. I have another really interesting one coming in about 10 days so stay tuned, and subscribe if you feel inclined to, so you see the next one.
thank u for this video ❤
This is an really excellent video with well done camera settings and very interresting maps. Thank you very much. Also the music sounds very appropriate. Can you give me the title.
Thank you the for compliments. The music I got from a site that provides copyright free music but you have to pay for it and I don't think it's available to the general public. But the first song is called Inspiring Turkish Oud. Google music with Oud. very beautiful instrument. The other is called Middle Eastern Duduk. And also Sands of Sadness. Again I don't know if they are findable online.
@@Street-Gems I`ll try to get it. Thank you so much and good inspirations for you.
Excellent video about Caesarea. Three points not covered :
1. The Hellenistic small port of “Stratos” was an earlier settlement at this site, south of “Dor”.
2. Herod’s palace just to the south of the port, opposite the hippodrome; built contemporaneously with his palace fortresses at Herodium and Masada; and,
3. more info about the hydrophilic concrete techniques and materials ( pozzelano ash ), which Augustus Caesar shared with King Herod and their Judean ( Jewish ) subjects, and used for the concrete and stone port extension 400m into the Mediterranean.
Also, good on you for not referring to this region as fictitious “Palestine”….. a later Hadrianic propaganda tool ( 135 CE ).

Hey thanks for your comment. So I'm actually considering doing a future short video that focuses more on the harbor of Sebastos. This video was more of a broad history of Caesarea. I did cover Pozzolana in this one, but I want to go into more detail about it in the future. I actually agree with you that I didn't even touch on Herod's palace, and even before your comment, it bothered me, so I could touch on it in that potential future video. About Stratos tower, yeah I know. I felt like it was just adding too much information in this video and didn't want to overwhelm my audience.
You should subscribe to my channel because I plan on doing more videos on ancient Israel in the future.

Thank you! I love receiving comments like this. I really appreciate it.
The essay also included a positive account of the Jewish people, with regard to their survival:
He has made a marvellous fight in this world, in all the ages; and has done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself, and be excused for it. The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed, and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other peoples have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished. The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?
~Mark Twain
