The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World by Peter A. Clayton amzn.to/3ljtjS4
By ancient standards, this tomb was so large and lavishly decorated that it quickly made it onto ancient writer’s lists of the seven sights to be seen in their known world, and it’s because of Maussollos’ tomb’s popularity that by the time the Romans showed up to the party, the word Mausoleum had become the go-to word for any large tomb.
It’s possible that Maussollos wanted his mausoleum to symbolise a fusion of all the surrounding civilisations and cultures, maybe even in the hopes of establishing a Carian empire with Halicarnassus at its centre. While that didn’t happen, he did succeed in creating one of the greatest-known tombs of the ancient world, and one of the longest-surviving wonders of the ancient world.

As an old history nut, I say very good. You gave your audience details, made it fun and interesting, and avoided the dreaded snooze fests that too many of these archeological/historical presentations become. Well done. We need more young women like you in the fields of archeology and history.
I just discovered this youtube channel, and it's like a dream come true. I'm studying ancient history and I'm also taking an archeology course, so needless to say this stuff is right up my alley.
I am a 20 year old History student and I am reeeeally into Ancient History. I just discovered your channel last night and even tho it was 1am I couldn't stop watching. Your energy makes every video more fun and exciting. It is such a pleasure to watch a channel who is sharing the same excitement about history as much as I do! ❤
I’m learning so much from this series❤❤❤
Ah I'm so glad!!
Maybe the tomb needed to be so big, to be able to fit his long name on it.
Like that’s why Arnie had to bodybuild, so he could wear a t-shirt with his name on.
Ooh just discovering this series - can't wait to dive in!
Your are wonderful! Your videos make evident your passion for archaeology and history that you share. Thanks for taking us along on your personal adventure. I hope that you continue to healthy and happy in what you do.
Thanks so much!!
I hope you are still making videos! This was great.
I have always loved history, ever
since I was a child. And when it comes to mausoleums, my mind boggles with wonders and mysteries, and of course, the possibility of treasures. But the first thing I think of when I hear the word, mausoleum, is Christopher Lee as the assassin, Francisco Scaramanga in The Man With The Golden Gun. In the film, Lee delivers one of my all time favourite lines in cinema. Scaramanga is hired by a powerful gangster, who has his own, very large and impressive mausoleum, in the grounds of his sprawling estate. After receiving a telling off from the gangster, Scaramanga dispatches him and takes over. Walking outside, he casually remarks, "He always did like that mausoleum. Put him in it."
I've never seen this movie! Adding it to the watchlist now
I've never really heard much about this wonder until now! Thanks for sharing it with us :)
Yet another great explanation capable of making us imagine the glint off that brilliant marble. Wonderful diction and cadence, too. Thanks for sharing.
This is my favorite ancient wonder
Another great video! Love this series❤
Another great vid, it's awesome to see ya again, Raven. Always looking forward to seeing your newest stuff!
Thanks so much!! Once the book is done, you’ll be seeking a LOT more of me ☺️
Thanks! LOVE your videos that I just found. Hope you're still doing them!
Very insightfull
Thanks Raven
keep digging.
Hope your book will soon be over. I am sure it will be great:) Love your videos. I have been checking every month if you published something
Could you please be so kind and also include metric units of measurement in your videos? I am German and the imperial system is extremely counterintuitive and difficult to deal with overall.
Nice channel! Some great information.
were you at?!!
Wellllll..... THIS channel is underrated! Come on UA-cam! What are you doing??
Thank you.
You're welcome!
As The History Guy is fond of saying, "After all, doesn't every good story involve pirates?"
And they always do!
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome!
New sub
nice vid
Among other things, I now know you are taller than I. Another cool video!
Learn something new every day haha
Well, they were important.. at least to show me the beauty of their time, at the very least.. after all.. all the ones you showed are to me just beautiful even without the specific context.
What has happened to Raven?! I too find her presentations fantastic from her choice of content to her style.
Raven, please inform us something good has happened to you which does not allow you the time to pursue this passion of yours
Raven is so cool, smart, and easy on the eyes. These are really good videos
Nah, I wouldn't like to have a love monument built for me, much rather have someone to love in my lifetime. Same for my (still hypothetical) loved one, you build that monument every day as best you can.
I laughed so hard when you showed how they moved the ready stones to build the castle with a simple gesture, it made it look so easy!
Thanks for this series, it's great, keep it up!
Glad you're liking the series! Furiously working on the remaining wonders :)
Made it!
0:11 "these enormous graves are one last hurray to show off just how important that person was or how important that person *thought* they were" - do you doubt the efficacy of the latter? Would any person from the ancient world be remembered at all if they had not somehow built things that lasted? Would you have remembered Maussollos if he had not have had such a great tomb? So extending this bit of insight from the past we can understand why leaders today try massive projects: to be remembered, while almost all of us will be forgotten in a century, and certainly after a millennium.
I am going to go back and watch your other videos before this one ❤❤prayers and blessings to you and your family love your Aussie family friend John ❤❤
Yes please do! The rest of the series will be out soon :)
@@DigItWithRaven no problem 😉
Ab Faab. very nice. really. thanks. u know, the old old photos of the stuff at British Museum actually shows also two horses and one chariot wheel that had survived alone with the statues of mausolus and his queen,
(oh, and no one in US can understand the french revolutionary metric stuff. pls use the imperial measurements, like feet and inches --as u use for ur own height in the vid)
We miss you! Hope everything is ok
I miss you all too! Everything is great, just trying to finish writing this book so I can get it out into the world for you all ☺
@@DigItWithRaven can’t wait! I’ll read it for sure!
Has anyone found the tomb of Alexander the Great yet?
Nice video, as allway; complete info and funny presentation.
But way are you pronouncing Mausoleum (reasonably) right and Mausolus wrong? How?
Hope you are doing okay, Raven?
Yes!! I'll be back soon, promise! Just finishing up my book 😄
@@DigItWithRaven Glad to hear it! 😃
You're asking for a love tomb? Is this...some kind of off-hand proposal? Because THAT just won't do. You should be down on one knee...flowers would be a nice touch. Would not object to a ring. = ) Couldn't get to this until now because...stuff. BUT it was indeed incentive to get beyond stuff so I could indeed bask in the WONDER (see what I did there = ) of watching it. Entertainingly educational as ALWAYS! Speaking of entertainingly educational...how is the book coming? Drops of blood forming on your forehead yet?
First rule of book-writing: don't talk about how painstakingly slow the book writing is going whilst working a full time job and also trying to keep an engaged audience who one relies on buying the book haha. The nights are riddled with anxiety and planning and the days are riddled with staring at a screen trying to be productive but failing
@@DigItWithRaven I remember your second masters...and all of the tremendous hardship you faced...some of it diabolical. It was like me with the wolves. You survived that. Not only survived, but thrived. Most things after that should be, by definition...easier. = ) As a fellow writer who cares, you know I know whereof I speak when I say MINDSET is a HUGE part of the battle. Also, write in your head. Then jot down the trigger words and sentences for the ideas and inspirations. Even during your workday. And gather a cheering section to help keep you motivated. EVEN marathoners can have cheering section support through the tough times. AND in the "in the zone times". = )
Im tryna mausolleum inside ur helicarnasses
Great video but please use the metric system!!😂
Good info, and I was subbed, but something about "UA-cam face" thumbnails just makes me irate. Are we trying to target 13 year old gamers, or serious people interested in serious topics?
Are you Italian or Greek?
Neither!
I just wanna take Raven on a date and argue about feminism and patriarchy and we leave each other all heated and mad.We later recognize each other. She's on vacation, I'm on an adventure where I'm looking for treasure. She begins criticizing me for not seeing the human story and significance of the artifacts and I say, "I see it." as I rack my shotgun and head into some ruins. She follows me in to stop my shenanigans where I show her I can sight read hieroglyphs, (cause I actually can) though I have no degree like her. We find our way into some hidden antichamber where I find a golden bracelet that reads. Isis, perfect and beautiful, beloved of Osiris and I get to see her eyes light up as she recognizes the artifact as something historical and of extreme human significance and how this changes EVERYTHING! I make a comment about melting it down just to harass her. (It sells much better unspoiled) She snatches it and tells me I'm a goon. (I am) .......Suddenly the structure begins to collapse and sand is coming in. The walls and ceiling start to give way and we have to run. We're dodging falling rubble and a wall gives way making a hole showing daylight. I grab her by the hand and charge through the wall and we both roll down a hill one over the other. When the dust settles we're both coughing from dust and having the wind knocked out of us. Then we see 3 figures silhouetted by the sun. We realize we have guns pointed at us and a voice breaks the silence, "This artifact is now the property of the British Museum." An old hand picks up the bracelet. Our eyes focus on the voice as the dust starts to clear. I say, "Irving Finkel, you slippery son of a bitch! What are you doing here? Egypt isn't even your speciality!" He responds, "As you know Mr. Howard, all artifacts of import eventually find their way to the British Museum. Thank you once again for doing all the heavy lifting. Farewell and good day." Irving and his goons make way to a nearby convoy and drive off east towards Saqqara. Raven and I look at each other and say together, "I have to get that back!" Then we look at each other. I steal a kiss. She pushes me off after about 8 seconds and says, "You're just like them! A goon!" I'm like, "Hey! I was gonna sell it to Egypt!" "Quick, I have a landcruiser over there. Lets go!" Then we're off to chase down Irving Finkel and the Golden Bracelet of Isis.
The surprise Finkel cameo MADE this!
Lol. I hoped you'd enjoyed it some. I'm just thrilled you responded to me. Have a great day Raven.@@DigItWithRaven
@@DigItWithRavenNo new video in 6 months. What happened? I'm afraid of seeing you on Missing Person posters.
@@InternetDarkLord I'll be back soon!! Almost done my book so you'll be getting even more in a few months!
Love the content, but not sure how much digging you actually do with those nails. I’m in the dirt every day and my hands show it. Perhaps you should change the title of your channel.
The nails disappear when I'm in the field but they also don't affect my ability to hold a trowel or prevent me from doing any hard labour. In fact, the UV gel makes my nails stronger and less prone to breakage on site - highly recommend!
