Exploring An Empty TEOTIHUACÁN, The Incredible Pyramids of MEXICO 🇲🇽
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 лип 2024
- I explore Teotihuacán, what was Mexico’s biggest ancient city and capital of its largest pre-Hispanic empire, including the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon. I then take a trip to one of Mexico and Latin America's most renowned pilgrimage sites, the Basilica de Guadalupe.

The Basilica is a special place and is also sinking at one side.

Very nice video Jason. I liked the background music and your narrative tour. Kinda like Sir David Attenborough or Brian Cox. Classy.
wow amazing place.
Thanks for the video 👍visiting soon
Excellent job. So nice to see your footage of Teotihuacan. I've only been there once and that was almost thirty years ago. Tragic. Cheers.

Thank you for the wonderful video you make for Mexico.
You know your house is my House
We said all the time in Mexico.
😉
Hermoso 💚
Teotihuacan is a unique destination. It is filled with the beauty of nature, the attractions, and the beliefs that give a delightful ambiance and relaxing travel experience.
Amazing bro
Are you planning in come over the north Mexico? Nice video btw. Thanks again for shows Mexico to the world.
I was visiting CDMX back in October, to visit Teotihuacan, unfortunate it was close, no one told this not even the guy that sole us the ticket at the bus terminal. I will be there in June 2021, after buying a property in Mx. VIVA MEXICO
That sucks, hope your next trip is more successful!
Monday is closed. Or because pandemic.
how much does a property i. Mexico cost you
@@wakeup7874 Properties in Mexico are affordable for some but not all foreigners. It all depends where in Mexico you want to buy so for example, Expat are buying near the beaches of Mexico, price are higher than buying in CDMX any other interior cities in Mx. Buying in Mexico the only take cash. so if you have cash, you are set. if not save up,.
@@humlocker this is not true at all, I know several expats who own mortgaged properties in Mexico.
Want there on a megalithomaniauk tour last year ❤❤ thanks for your videos.
Very Nice 👍🏻 WeEnjoy It Very Much 🤩👍🏻
Most beautiful and excellent VEDIO sir.
Nice to see you
Great video 👍🏻🙏🏻
Cheers Ed!
Just booked a holiday (....hopefully) to Mecico city based on your blogs👍👍
Very happy to hear it - I’m sure you won’t regret it!
I was just watching a video of you and was wondering when you will upload your next video.
I'm wondering why it is only 11 minutes in duration.
Nice vídeo broo
My understanding is that Teotihuacan is not from the Aztec era . It peaked and was abandoned before the start of the Aztec empire - when the Aztec people found the eagle with a snake on a cactus at the location where they founded Tenochitlan (now Mexico City). When the Aztecs discovered the pyramids - they gave the names Sol and Luna and imposed their beliefs on the site. I am not sure that anyone knows what the significance of the pyramids was to the people of Teotihuacan. Anyway, beautiful images. You got a nice clear day.
Yes and no, the site was found by the mexica but those two giant pyramids were built by the aztecs, if i recall correctly took them something like 80 years to built
Yes, you are correct sir. It was settled way before the Aztec(Mexica) people settled the island. We have no record of who the original settlers were.
Superb!
I was in Mexico City & Teotihuacan (pronounced teo ti you wakan) in January 2021. Most of Mexico was closed down due to the pandemic but I was able to hire a private tour guide online and visit a small portion of these pyramids as well as Guadalupe Shrine. Both amazing places! Jason, come visit us here in Southern California! I'll host you 😊
I visited Mexico City and Teotihuacan :)
Hello and thank you for this beautiful video ....how did you get in and it's empty?
Hello nice video harika paylaşım olmuş Jason BILLAM travel Türkiye izmir 🙋♀️
Love being this early.
Yes, man you are giving a good taste of Mexico. God bless you. Many many best wishes from Sindh, Pakistan.
Glad you think so!
I certainly hope tourism returns fully but I kinda hope there's few people there when I visit this coming August. Thanks for the wonderful information and video.
Are they allowing to go up? I'm going there in Sept.
I am glad you were able to visit Teotihuacán. Your video is excellent with amazing and unique views of this archaeological site. Thank you for sharing Jason. Enjoy Mexico.
Thanks Victor!
Wow nice
nice, were supposed to go here prior to co-vid, can't wait to go back to normalcy.. we may not be able to go to Egypt, but at least fly down to Mexico to see ancient pyramids..amazing..thanks Jason, so inspiring. ,
Why not Egypt?? Nobody wears masks anywhere and everything is open!
@@natasjadirken5633 its not Egypt, we live here in the States w/c is just a 3 hr flight to Mexico, considering the budget & the restrictions, maybe someday we'd get to go there when this pandemic's over.
I love your videos 😊
Glad to hear it Claudia!
@@JasonBillamTravel I like your videos because it is like traveling together with you 😊
Good
Wow
hi Jason! amazing video
There was no city, kingdom, or empire more important than Teotihuacan in the American continent (50 BC-650AD) Its influence and cultural and political dominance reached the center and south of the USA and even Costa Rica.
With 25 square miles built up, Teotihuacan was larger than Imperial Rome or Constantinople in 400 AD
Tenochtitlan in 1521 only had 3 built-up square miles.
The origin and ruling class of Teotihuacan were Ñhäñhus ("Otomies") Not nahuas.
The name Teotihuacan was put by the Nahuas in the ss. XIV, 700 years after the collapse of that imperial city
The mathematical numerical value of π is represented in the slope that its constructors gave to the pyramid.
Hey Jason
The Pyramid of the Sun presents a great enigma, when it was excavated in 1906 for the first time an enormous layer of mica was found, the mica is used as electrical insulation. The strangest thing is that the mica comes from Brazil more than 1500 miles away from Teotihuacan!
What is ac in dating? Use AD so we know what date it is, please.
@@keithwolfe1942 As opposed to YOUR possible disrespect of the SPANISH language, disrespecting your English language was never Baron's intent. Therefore, I'll clarify to you that "Before the Common Era" or "Before Christ" is what "ac" or "antes de Cristo" means IN SPANISH. This is NOT to be confused with "dc" in Spanish, which means "despues de Cristo," (or "Anno Domini" in Latin) and "in the year of Our Lord" or "AFTER Christ" in English.
There is no evidence to support your theory that Teotihuacan was neither built nor ruled by the Otomi, the Otomi are only one of the four groups of indigenous peoples that inahbited Teotihuacam but they were not the only ones, there were also Maya and Nahua peoples in Teotihuacan too, don't spread missinformation and foolish pseudohistory.
@@shivaiam It was not Toltec. In fact, there is still a lot that is unknown about this civilization including what they called themselves. The name Teotihuacan was the name given to this site by the Aztecs which roughly translates into the place of the giants.
ভিডিওটি অনেক ভালো লেগেছে।
I love your British accent 💓 so funny ... And I love see you Jason
Haha, appreciate it
@@JasonBillamTravel no I I'm in love lol 🤩🤩🤩
Always wanted to see Teotihuacan. I hope you get to also visit some Mayan sites.
Love you bro from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Visita Chihuahua, México. Hermosos paisajes y te encantará la tirolesa que está en las barrancas del cobre, en nuestra majestuosa sierra tarahumara. Un estado de la república mexicana con muchas historia también 😉
good video, it's a pity that you can't climb the pyramids for the pandemic, but it's still magical to be in a place with so much history, will you go to some other state in Mexico? ✨
Yeah it’s a shame but there you go! I’d love to visit as many states as possible - definitely Guanajuato, Jalisco, Nuevo Leon, Oaxaca, Chiapas, Quintana Roo & Yucatan!
@@JasonBillamTravel I hope you can visit all the places you want
The image inside the church is not painted, is an un solve mystery, is “printed” with materials of around 1500
My bad - I couldn’t find much info about it
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇲🇨🇲🇨❤️🇲🇨❤️❤️
Hello JASON nice Pics, greeting from the Algerian Desert
Shukraan!
@@JasonBillamTravel Afouan
👏👏👏👏
I will be there in july.
You should come to orizaba city 🌃
Very interesting blog. I hope to someday visit the pyramids. Too bad that we cannot see it with the red plaster. Your voice is excellent for narration. I have been to Chichen Itza near Cancun. The view from the top provide defense to the city.
Appreciate that Ray!
the same place is in Bangladesh . name - mahasthangarh / sampura mahavira . u should visit their .
I will never forget the time I was at a party. We were playing truth or dare and someone dared me to go home.
Atleast,thereis some thing to see,of my interest in mexico.great place.
At least ??? 😕??
Well if you do research México can surprise you, not everything in México is Cancún XD
@@fernandad1086 thank u .i really appriciate.
@@fahadamjad3180 you're welcome ;D
Thnks frm India ❤️
Nice video. Why is it so empty? Did you take an uber there?
We drove ourselves, an Uber from CDMX would probably be quite expensive.
You can go there by Uber, is for about 350 pesos mexicanos. Or by bus 70 pesos mexicanos. In one hour and a half.
Who came up with, “Avenue of the Dead” (Calzada de los Muertos)? Seems a very presumptuous title to add drama to the site. When viewed from above, the causeway more resembles a complex waterway with connecting pools than a Procession of the dead.
What a shame you couldn't go up beacuse of restrictions, but at least there were very few people, so win?
🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Hello Jason I have my trip planned to Mexico City mid June and was wondering if you had any recommendations or if you took a specific tour to teotiihuacan ? I would love to visit the exact sites you explored. Thank you in advance ❤️
You can self guide to Teotihuacan by taking the Metro to Terminal Central de Autobuses del Norte and catching an intercity bus from there (all in, this will cost less than $250 pesos per person). The advantage of this is you can get there early before the tour buses arrive (and it is fun). You can find detailed instructions on line. You could also take the public transit route as part of a group tour by Estacion Mexico Tours (for about $800 pesos). (Estacian also offers outstanding free walking tours of the Centro Historico). I believe you can also take an uber. As for the Basilica - we walked there on a Sunday morning when the arterial roads were closed to traffic for cyclists and pedestrians (we walked 9 km from the Reforma 222 mall to the Basilica). We loved the walk and saw many parades of pilgrims along the way. We took the metro back from the Basilica. Tip: have a change purse with $5 and $1 peso coins for public bathrooms along the way.
@@Vancouver_Dan thank you so much !
I know recently people were allowed to climb the pyramids, will they reopen it so that we can climb them once again?
When i left there they searched everyone's bags on the bus back to Mexico City.. i guess people steal rocks like they did/do at the Acropolis in Athens
Actually, as far as I know the pyramids themselves have been closed for a while (a couple of years or more), meaning you can’t actually climb them anymore, and it’s not due to COVID, apparently there were some accidental falls from the pyramid of the sun, as it has no protection on the top, they were meant to be fall proofed but it hasn’t happened (I imagine it has something to do with the fragility of the stone up there)
I also heard that, but wasn’t exactly sure whether it was Covid or a combination of both.
Hi jason
You have to visit Morocco 🇲🇦
I’m Mexican and loved it in Morocco 🇲🇦
Hello❤️
Hi 👋 how are you I'm from Saudi arabia 🇸🇦❤ I love you so much
I've been there over 6 times and the grass was never green like that. Any educated person knows that Mesoamerica was a cradle of civilization and that Mesoamerican cultures were very advanced, however, because they were isolated from Eurasia, they missed a lot of the technological discoveries that Eurasia shared since Antiquity.
Interesting - it’s fascinating how advanced they were.
They were in some ways more advanced than the europeans.
I've been there 2 times it's awesome sight I climb to the top of pyramid of the sun almost made it to the moon and surrounding temples there's even an underground restaurant in Teotihuacan
Come visit Colombia.
are you still in Mexico?
Random question. What color hair did your mom and dad have? Just wondering, because how did you end up with dark red?
Contrary to what many people assume, redheads did not originate in Scandinavia, Scotland or Ireland, but in central Asia.
Their coloring is due to a mutation in the MC1R gene that fails to produce sun-protective, skin-darkening eumelanin and instead causes pale skin, freckles and red hair.
My Mum has ginger hair and my Dad dark
@@JasonBillamTravel Okay thanks. See I was also kind of asking, because baby Archie of Megan and Harry, kind of has your hair coloring, dark red. And it seems his parents have the same hair color as your parents, ginger and dark. Interesting.
The stories and lifestyle of ancient Mexicans is little similar to that of Indians🇮🇳 may be due to geography and climate
Please can you go to Japan 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
Hopefully in the near future!
They don’t let u climb either anymore? Man I was lucky as a kid
Spent many vacations in Mexico City with family, when I was young. Teotihuacan used to have a night show which lit up each pyramid and told the history. Also Xochimilco was my favourite!
Those FFP2 masks are single use for 4 hours max.
Very interesting, the pyramids. The new basilica of Guadalupe must be the ugliest basilica in the whole world, who designed that eye sore? The old basilica looks better, more like a church. Thank you for your interesting videos, Jason.
Thank you for insulting a most sacred religious site for the world's Catholics. You are welcome to come and see both, even if one of our most iconic, religious structures disgusts you more than the other.
@@oscarlugo8761 It's the truth. They could have constructed something like Notre Dame in Paris, something beautiful.
@@leonorfontes57 Hell no, we Mexicans are PROUD of OUR OWN architectural designs and have NO interest in the preferred European designs of EUROPEANS themselves, especially if they BURN their own work! lol But once again, we thank you for your well-meaning EUROCENTRIC insults! Aun asi, seras bienvenida a mi pais para que veas la calidad de nuestras bellas artes, aunque no te gusten nuestros disenos, ya que la preferencia europea hacia lo suyo es lo TIPICO del europeo. lol (No, I will NOT translate from Spanish to a less "beautiful" language.)
@@oscarlugo8761 Ay! No te enojes, te va a dar una ulcera. Yo soy de Mexico, puse el comentario en Ingles para Jason. La Virgen ha de taparse los ojos cada vez que tiene que ver esa basilica.
@@leonorfontes57 totalmente de acuerdo, parece una basinica al revez
رائع تعال على المغرب🇲🇦🇲🇦 من يوحيب المغرب احط لايك❤️🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
Nice tour and again your same tour guide ;), nice match!!, the restaurant is very romantic and unique love it!, About the basilica de Guadalupe is Catholic church not christian. Enjoy CDMX!!, for sure you have great company ;)
Thank you!
Hi
Virgen de Guadalupe 9:41
I'm a subscriber and big fan of the channel, and I'm not trying to be a jerk about it, but I have noticed how well your pronunciation has been since you've gotten to Mexico. Which only stands out to me, as a fellow English speaker, because of how poor it seemed in Italy. Ha!
I want to be your MX guide for free!
