- Another video from Guatemala. This time it is the turn of the old capital city today called 'Antigua'. I pay particular attention to its cathedral.

British scout exploring foreign land to colonize (date unknown, colourized)
I, for one, welcome their new colonial overlords.
* golf clap *
I'm amazed at the quality of audio they were able to recover from the original wax cylinders.
colourised
@@berthold64 He's British. We spell colour correctly.
The first capital sank into the swamp. The second capital ... also sank into the swamp. The third capital ... burned down, fell over, and then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up!
Where have I heard that from, I wonder...
HUUUUUGE tracts of land!
+
@@mobius1487 Those mermaids definitely had huge....tracts of land.
One day allll this will be yours!
My favourite part about your channel is there's no category. You could make a video about anything and it'll be interesting.
I think "interesting" IS the category.
@@cryptotharg7400 Well, certainly. The trick come with making interesting videos about the role of the beet in the Crimean War.
Apart from climate change. Then it’s annoying.
History could sum up a lot of it though
This man has made videos ranking from beige, socks and armour to tanks, machine guns and shooting to role play and lindy hop and now, Guatemala, and lets not forget Rome and Hannibal as well as battles!
I wonder if we will ever get to see Lindy's halfling cameraman.
I think it’s a lady Lindy is about 6’4
I bet it's Danny DeVito
@@SProwse101 I'm taller than the world famous Mr. Beige himself? What an honor
Does anyone else put on Lindy before sleeping? It feels like dad was telling a bedtime story about some far away land.
If they don't, they should.
Baroque me daddy
I sure am, nighty night.
Soooo me xD
4:12 That sitting pedestrian is learning so much from one of the best teachers! Love you, Lindy!
15:00 More important question: How old does a grave have to be before it turns from grave robbing to archeology? Asking for a friend.
when nobody remembers who the damn person was
It depends on if the grave is marked or not. Then it turn to archeologist or forensics investigator
It also depends on why you intend to dig up the grave.
Is it for personal use, is it because it belongs in a museum, is it because of necromancy and so on.
Do you have a flag?
@@poilboiler What if it is all of the above?
Someone deserves a show on the History Channels
yeah those aliens they spke about
Lindy doesn't deserve the disrespect of being paired with their programming.
How dare you they don't deserve him
Right between swamp people and ancient aliens.
The "history" channels deserve to disappear in the annals of history with their shitty advertising. I prefer him right here.
Now I'm scared there are invisible nuns creeping around everywhere.
That would be a good premise for an urban fantasy novel. Invisible, silent nuns who are lurking everywhere, watching and judging sinners... maybe fighting demons and devil-worshippers, because I mean, you need some action, right?
And spying bishops
Basically the ninjas of the western world.
@@TeaBurn Nunjas
Rick Boost The spying bishop would clearly be part of the invisible nuns’ origin story. Some pervy bishop kept spying on the nuns every week when they bathed. The nuns felt like they were being watched, but didn’t know by whom or from where. So they prayed for help to protect their modesty, and God sent an angel to teach them the secret art of invisibility. The next time the bishop spied on them, all he saw was the water splashing, towels and scrub brushes flying around seemingly on their own, etc., making him think he’d gone mad.
Pigeons are the conquistadors of the 20th century
And their their successful their everywhere you can't escape
unnumbered, airborne, impossible to be stopped by arrows or disease.check. But pigeons don't go for gold, they prefer more icky stuff
Those mermaids appear to be lactating rather excessively.
Just the way I like it
@@nedisahonkey Milky-milky bitty-bitty!!
@@grendelgrendelsson5493 Whatever you say fam
Water is the source of all life. The mermaids were simply mothers.
Philippine-Spanish architecture sure tried its darndest to avoid earthquake damage (the oldest church in the capital has inverted buttresses underneath, many favoured the use of light materials like wood for second floors in houses and the like, use of thicker stone walls for the lower floors, and later replacing tile roofs entirely with galvanized iron), but no one told us the Japanese and the Americans would bomb us to hell!
The philippines has tons of 16th century churches still used today
We had a ton more churches, more so in the old Spanish capital of Intramuros, but those were blown up like fireworks, if not by the Japanese, then by MacArthur and his crew.
@@rin_etoware_2989 this'll probably really piss you off but did you know that who ever is in charge of the contents of public school text books in the US point blank refuses to put any of that in. It got, I think, 1 paragraph when I went through middle school, and that was over a decade ago. It really annoyed my history teacher who proceeded to spend 2 or 3 days covering as much of it as he could without risking falling behind on the curriculum because he considered historical revisionists to be scum.
I love your Crossfade. I don't think I've ever seen one before where they show you where you're going and where you came from. It really gives a good sense of space and I think many other shows should use it. Great idea
19:30 Having lived through several "big ones" from the other city of quakes (Christchurch) they definitely are noisy, but the funny thing is you don't hear individual things falling or breaking (an entire car park collapsed near me but I didn't hear it happen), it's like the whole world is generating a single massive rumbling noise that drowns everything else out. The worst part is when you can hear it coming a split second before the shaking starts.
ModelChili Scale Models yikes
Probably because their sound engine cant handle so many noises at once, pretty common for old games
@Grassy Knoll Wow that sounds really terrifying.
Haven't been in one personally, but I'll hazard a guess that getting squashed by your own ceiling would probably prove worse...
Taxman: We heard you have a smuggling operation down in your vaults.
Bishop: Oh, I assure you're, it's all squeaky clean down there!
0:51 This is what living on a ringworld must look like.
I spot the Isaac Arthur subscriber.
I like Isaac Arthur he have fascinating video
Wow
I always assumed Lindy was more Cultured than that...
Inadvertent Halo
Last time I was this early, Britain still had crown colonies.
graffiti is just non commissioned public artwork.
For any of those not fluent with Spanish, Antigua is pronounced “ahn-TEE-gwah”.
Lloyd has a new favourite word: substantial. If I had known he'd use it that often I'd have made a drinking game with it.
:-)
Imagine Lindybeige as your teacher, you would fall in love with him and look forward to school every morning. He could have helped mold a whole generation of mini Lindybeiges. Imagine that?
I had an epic French teacher, when I was in grammar school, in the late 1960s. He was a frightening, British war-hero, and we all loved/feared him, and learned French!
@@cryptotharg7400 Do you remember his name? I don't think it would do any harm naming him - It sort of helps build the picture Mr....
Je suis un pomme de terre
@@martinda7446 My French teacher's name was Madame Futskotinthudore.
@@TheEllipse88 Mine was Mr Fingacortinacan.
I probably would have enjoyed history classes more if I had someone like Lloyd as a teacher. Alas, the German educational system is mostky incompatible with cool people
I like how the mermaid statues in the fountain had water shooting out of their nipples.
Uhmm ...
I don't tbh
Me too!
Better from upstairs than from below I guess
They're brilliant, I want one.
The people watching you look very entertained
As would I, they have a front row seat
Why this is a pleasant Surprise to wake up to ! the first on a lindybeige Video
you werent first...
It's 18 40 here
One of the first
Lindybeige in Central America! Wow, its weird to see one of my favorite youtubers so close to home. I hope he visits a few other places in the region and does a bit of a series on the inner workings of the Spanish Colonial Empire. There's a lot to unwrap there.
I feel like a child looking at Loyd, from this camera perspective
That impulse is illegal and immoral.
Come to croatia and do a tour of the castles in the north northwest, i can think of atleast 10 aincent ruins in a 100km diameter, not counting the middle aged and baroque castles. Some of them are Trakošćan of the Drašković family, Bela castle, Vinica old town, including 3 ruins on the mountain Ivanšćica where i live. Also there are caves from the era of the neanderthals where you can find sabertooth remains, fossilized bear teeth and mammoth remains. Just a suggestion..
Leon Vrtar croatia is a beautifully disorganized place. the wine is strong there. beautiful country.
Little known fact Antigua has a very beautiful McDonalds
Spittin' facts
"By means of a cross fade" pointedly fades into a far away Xtian cross. Pure beige like humour, hear hear!
I absolutely love your travel videos. They remind me of Michael Palin's travel series, 'Around the World in 80 days'
Man the city looks beautiful, I haven’t been back since I was 8 back in 2003. Awesome that you got a chance to visit Guatemala and my favourite city in it!
Ultra Baroque - First hit: Our Friends eclectic.
The parts of the bishop's palace that fell down, were VERY well framed. Whoever set up that shot did an excellent job.
Interesting video, I have family in Antigua and was there last summer; it was interesting to see a little more of the old cathedrals than what is available for the general public.
I like your sincere videos and also! Your touch of humour. Thank you very much!
Perhaps each Commonwealth nation should send some of their local pigeon species to Britain? They can be like exchange students. Interesting at first, then quickly losing face due to their unusual toilet habits.
got a few notes on the overall video quality but im sure its nothing you havent thought of yourself. the content and presentation, however, are PERFECT. I WANT MORE. GIMME MORE. thanks so much mr. lindybeige, been watching about 3 years now!
Good thing you uploaded. I was getting worried
You are the True First comment my man
benjamin Dawson yay
+Marko Lastname congratulations, unfortunately there is no prize whatsoever :(

Lindybiege is an unsung treasure of youtube. I'm visiting Antigua in March so it was really cool to get a 'pre-tour'. Thanks!
I really enjoy these new videos, you're like a modern day adventurer, and my favorite history teacher at the same time!
You keep me captivated Lloyd!! Fantastic!

I always get so excited when I see you upload one of your archeologist videos, because I know it will be good
Very interesting video Mr Beige! Love your work
These are my favourite kind of Lindybeige videos! Very interesting!
Wow a field study. Fantastic!
Nice , some of my favorite videos of yours are your travels .
Great video, always looking forward for an upload
Its really great to get to know more from my country, great video Lindy!!!!
The Order of Our Lady of Ransom. In Guatemala. Love it.
I loved Antigua. Spent a month there and enjoyed every day.
Loved the style and presentation of this vid. Like a real historian !
these videos are higher quality than anything I've seen on the history channel ! brilliant work, so fun !
You sound like a professional narrator on TV
Yeah, he should go professional.
He tried to become a TV narrator somewhere in the 00s. Sadly, the BBC declined the pilot he made. It's posted on the channel though.
I really like these style of videos, they are some of my favorite, like the way it's edited and narrated.
I'm a simple man, I see Lindybeige, I click no matter the subject.
I'm loving these videos Lloyd!
Great great video, your enthusiasm always makes history much more enjoyable
6:20 Plot twist: there were no nuns
Love these vids Lloyd.
A substantial update. Thank you.
Absolute legend! So glad I subbed to this channel.
Thumbs up for LindyBae.
Who is the camera man lindy? Could it be ms beige herself!!
I watch a lot of UA-cam, and honestly ... You are by far the best presenter I've seen (I've watched a good few of your videos now). So engaging! If you aren't offered a BBC contract I'm ripping up my license!!
I am from Guatemala! I recommend that you visit the beautiful Lake Atitlan, and it is not far from Antigua.
3:18 shoutout to that tiny lady walking past in the background
An anecdote on the historical importance of grafiti:
The school I went to in France (lycée A. Watteau, Valenciennes) was, during WWII, the german commandantur, where members of the french resistance were interrogated (tortured) and shot.
In light of this knowledge, my friends and I went looking for traces of the occupation and found grafiti on the red bricks of the building, and more interestingly, in a tunnel connecting the school to another school (lycée H. Wallon).
Among these were a lot of grafiti from the 70s, but among the ones in the courtyard there was one dated pair of initials: E P 1943.
When we went exploring the tunnel, we found a different type of grafiti: no dates, but words, like the french "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" (in contrast to the "travail, famille, patrie" sported by Vichy at the time), or even names.
The most marking were the first two lines of a song:
"Ami, entends-tu le vol noir des corbeaux sur nos plaines?
Ami, entends-tu les cris sourds d'un pays qu'on enchaîne?"
These are the first lines to "le chant des partisans" (the communist french hymn), and to me it shows the spirit of the french resistants who are known to have used the tunnel to smuggle people out of the building.
Today, the tunnel is blocked only by a metal plate at both ends, and seeing as Watteau is the girls dorm for both schools, and that Wallon has the boys dorm, it stills serves to smuggle people to this day (though, with a more lenient punishment if one gets caught)!
I stay home and I'm typically alone except for my one-year-old, and she needs to learn vocabulary and sentence structure, so I listen to UA-cam while I'm completing tasks around the house. This, of course, is going to have the side effect that my kid is going to learn an awful lot about warfare and history and armaments, and probably grow up with a British accent and love beige. But the educational value is incredible!
This was very interesting! Thanks for sharing!
Great video, Lloyd...👍
Lindy is the most comfortably rumpled man I've ever seen.😊🐝
Antigua is an amazing city. Really pretty. You can tour the volcano and cook a marshmallow off it. Lol. I had hummingbirds 2 feet from me at my hotel. Really cool to see you do a show on somewhere ive been. Thanks again lindy.
Today is going to be a good day because I started it with Lindybeige
👍 go paint the town beige!
Very interesting! Ive just found your channel and enjoyed your weapon videos, but your travel video is very good!!
The only history teacher I ever need! Thanks Lindy
Great video. Well done. I loved it :)
really awesome lloyd thanks
the scale of that earthquake to just level nearly 3-4 foot thick walls must've been insane, incredible and incredible interesting video like usual
Lindybeige in my country? I hope you had a great time. Huzzah!
Edit: It should be pronounced "an-tee-wah" instead of "an-tee-gah"
I did.
There is an English pronunciation, and the one used by my guides, and I was not perfectly consistent.
It's okay.
Would you consider going to Tikal? There are mayan temples there.
Espero poder conocer Cuauhtemallan este año. Me encanta su historia y su gente :)
The Englishmen always pronounce foreign words correctly. It's the natives who are wrong

Excellent video.
Love the history you give us!
Hey, that was great camera work !
Excellent as always Lindybeige. Just a quick bit of feedback, next time you get special to access to a place that not just anyone can enter have your camera man do a quick pan around the place so we can see where you are.
I liked it there . Always like spring . I traveled around Central America for 3 months .
David Coleman what months of the year were you there for?
Great video!
Hi Lloyd. My girlfriend and I are addicted to your channel. Many thanks indeed for putting out such engaging and well researched content. But when will you be releasing part 3 of your sword forging series? We were hooked on it and are wetting ourselves in anticipation to see the next part!
That fountain had some felicitous funbags
This channel reminds me I should travel more.
geez. why would someone dislike this!? Thanks for the upload!
amazing video as usual
Another amazing video
Oh I've done some graffiti 20 years ago but my mum made me wash that important history off the walls!
My favorite part of the video was watching the people around you trying to figure out what you were doing.
Thanks for the trip. Greetins from Brasil.
Great to see this. I was there a couple of years ago on a nature holiday, but didn't know much about the history :).
brilliant video!
Forgot about you for a bit, Rang the bell, lots to binge now.
Fascinating stuff. Definately kept me entertained during my rather monotonous DT coursework.
