This video reminded me of all the times I've spent exploring more obscure castle ruins in my home region, climbing carefully into places where people don't usually visit, taking photos of nearly every nook and cranny and many an overlooked part of the ruins. Naturally, I have my limits, and I've always tended to pull back whenever I got the impression I might damage some of the masonry or get myself into danger. But exploring like this, with the appropriate amount of restraint and reverence, is always good and exciting fun. Great video. I love your attention to little architectural details. I guess that's an interest we share. :-)
I have bought an HD camera. Every time I connect it to my computer, my computer dies. On my computer, these SD videos look a lot better. I seem to suffer a lot of compression on UA-cam. I'm using MPEG-2 DVD format, which perhaps is not the best one to pick.
Drat - you are correct. Sometimes I bother to paste the captions into Word for a spell and grammar check, but of course whenever I do, I find no errors.
It doesn't mean the same thing, though. I used it to mean 'from that point in time onwards', or more simply 'from then', just as 'hence' means 'from here'. This could stand in for 'therefore' in a lot of contexts, though.
These Turkey videos are the only videos you make that are actually positive and not loaded with aggravation and negativity. My theory is that in order to take the cynicism out of a brit, you first have to take him out of britain.
Seeing ruins always makes me wish I had a time machine to view how it looked when it was completed and in perfect shape. Oh what I would give to see that crypt as it did thousands of years ago.

I find this stuff absolutely amazing. The United States doesn't have any ancient architecture, but perhaps future generations can look at the ruins of our civilization!
Cool. There is an area in the game witch 2 that looks very similar to this place in style. I would be willing to bet that area is inspired by this place.
You should really invest in a good HD camera, man. They're pretty cheap these days and would make your tourist videos a lot more visually interesting in my opinion. I wanna see you adventures in HD!
I got no idea, but the city was abandoned during the Byzantine-Arab wars that preceded the Seljuk Turk invasion. So the newest one would be Early middle age at best, if they continued construction of them beyond the classical era.
You can get some HD cameras that record straight to USB. So you can stick in a terrabyte hard drive and just do all your editing on a laptop without having to carry all the transfer bits.
Have you looked into building a PC? It's really easy and you can get a beast of a machine a lot cheaper and better quality than a store bought one... just don't plan on taking it anywhere!
MPEG-2 is an absolutely ancient encoding scheme (it is 17 years old, the standard was ratified in 1996). You really should use something more modern like x264 or VC8 / VC9.. how does your computer die, specifically, when you plug it in? Some of your fans (ex: me) fix PCs for a living and will be glad to help you troubleshoot (for free!)
MPEG-4 can produce full HD 1080p videos (with 16:9 aspect ratio) perfectly suitable for UA-cam. I use that, but it takes more time to edit the videos on my a few years old laptop.
Well, I guess archaeology is not for me since every time you saw or looked in a tomb I would worry that there would be some ancient remains of a person, which would frighten me more than it ought to.

Actually I really enjoyed the lo fi touch, that these videos have :)

These on-location videos are some of my favourites of yours Lindy and it certainly inspires me to find places like these when I go on travels as well.

This is amazing could you please post some geo locations of where you are? I hope I could visit this place one day!
This was very interesting! Your holidays are fascinating. Thanks for sharing them with us!
Amazing craftsmanship!

Grammatical errors aside, another brilliant and intriguing video, thanks for the great content.
I really enjoy your archeological trip videos.

+360deeman Of course we have ancient architecture. We have the Cahokia mounds, various abandoned Pueblo villages, and many more examples.
+360deeman Anazasi tho...
Lindyana Jones :) ... thanks for a very interesting video...again :)
H264 codec is the best for youtube. Are you using premier? They have some great presets already to choose from.
Love your vids btw!!!
Lindybeige, Tomb Raider
Those are fascinating! Definitely going to use them in an RPG adventure.
Cool.

I'm sure such tombs exist. We just haven't found them yet.
And thus do we learn how Lindy picked up the spirit that haunts him still.
That was awesome Thank you!!

Amazing. Take us to the Tombs of Shannara, next.
Stranraer! Stran bloody raer!
Could you imagine being one of the people that travelled all the way there and didn't bother to scramble up it to look?
watching this i can't stop thinking "how is this not yet covered in graffiti?"
The closest anyone will get to a 100% robber-proof "tomb" is a time capsule.
It's up to communities and such to keep track of them though.

Are they all empty?
Aliens! But seriously, ancient people were amazing.
I was expecting a jump scare from out of those holes in the wall. A missed opportunity.

I haven't visited some of these places and I live in the damn country. Got some catching up to do.

Smashing!
There is writing on the shelf at 2:22.
Hey! No scrambling!
To make a robber-proof tomb methinks it would need to be deadly radioactive.
Castle walls? Or ruins of such...?
Tombs.They have been looted by allies after ww1 thats why they're empty
Never expected to find Dragons Dogma comments in this video.
Perhaps the tombs were not robbed for profit, but by archaeologists from earlier civilisations; all that remains is to find their research notes!
You wrote "until the the" in the text at the end. Just so you know
Try H.264 as an MP4.
Sonatorrek is pretty robber proof :)
Jenny Hozuki oh shush. he just knows what's going on.
isn't this true about all places?
1:50 Clearly they were either family or lovers in life, why else would you want to carve a hole into your neighbour's tomb? *nods*
Clearly these were made by dwarves as places to store their most sacred of objects, ale.
I want my remains to be there.
One person disliked the video, there's always one :P
They r called sumbhogee.....they have a very crooked brain...
WE MIGHT FIND AUGHT INSIDE, ARISEN.

/ddg/ pls
Maybe ask a local friend who is good with computers or has (more) video experience to help out. Couldn't hurt to ask!
