Indus Valley Civilisation should have been covered, as its one the oldest along with ancient Egypt and Mesopotamian civilisations. Famous for its city planning, drainage systems, water supply system, road network, and location of administrative buildings it spreads to a vast area. Why it was abandoned still remains a mystery.
They probably ran out of fertile soil to sustain their population. The Egyptians lasted for thousands of years because the Nile always flooded the surroundings with fresh fertile silt.
@@gabumonboys Indus valley is also called Indus-saraswati civilization, saraswati was the main river around which the civilization (beside indus) was built around but around 2500-1900 bc due to tectonic disturbance that river's flow stopped or diverted (which created ghaggar-hakra river) which created aridification and on that area civilization lasted from 7000 bc to 1300 bc approx and people migrated from indus-saraswati river plane to close to gangetic river plane after that.

Many great ancient ruins were mentioned, however, there are many fascinating ancient ruins in Iran dating back to the Persian Empire ear, along with a few other ancient civilizations, which deserve to be included in the top 5 on your list. The most iconic one being Persepolis, which is one of the ancient world's greatest wonders. Pasargad, Derinkuyu, Timgad, and the Burnt City, and Babylonian Ziggurat of Ur are more fascinating than some of the sites you included.

@Narashimha Shiriya Mughals were Central Asian Mongol-Turks who mixed with Indians. Iran, Iraq were cradles of civilization right from Mesopotamia to Achaenemid empire.
@Narashimha Shiriya Lord Maha Vishnu 8th Avtar Lord Krishna Said In Bhagvadgeeta In Mahabharath "Yada yada hi dharmasya glanirbhavati bharata Abhythanamadharmasya tadatmanam srijamyaham" Paritranaya sadhunang vinashay cha dushkritam Dharmasangsthapanart- hay sambhabami yuge yuge Meaning: "Whenever, O descendant of Bharata, there is decline of Dharma, and rise of Adharma, then I body Myself forth. For the protection of the good, for the destruction of the wicked, and for the establishment of Dharma I come into being in every age." The same thing happened for our Sanathan Dharma(Hinduism) around 8th century A.D.There was a time when there was a complete chaos in the society and Hindu religion was almost nearer to getting vanished.Nihilism was at peaks and there was no one who could stop them.Rituals like yagnas were stopped.Sanathan Dharma(Hinduism) was in complete danger which was surrounded by 72 anti vedic religions ,Buddhism and jainism popular among them. Then,as said above,whenever there is decline of dharma Lord himself comes for establishment of dharma Socame the greatest philosopher, scholar,logician who is incarnation of Lord Shiva himself "ADI SHANKARACHARYA", Chatrapati Sivaji,Krishna Deva Raya Against Mughals, 1857 Revolt Against British Swami Vivekananda,raja ram mohan roy Against British and christian missonaries Lord Tirumula And Lord Shiva Protected Sanathan Dharma(Sanathan Dharma)
An important information about Ellora temple (13:00 of this video) is that it was monolithic rock cut. The most exciting fact is that the rock cutting of the mountain started from the top of the present temple and ended at the ground floor. Hats off to the great architects of all the great sites of this video.
No it is Not Cut, it is shaped, You say 'Windows starts', you are not able to know how it was shaped, and when. But it might be far older than you think and believe.
@@heysup7014 Dear Ananyakuza, well, it might not all ways be easy to see, what that is actually cutted, and what as is shaped, but with the trained and experienced eye, it become more evident. So, the shaped structures is created by highly developed 'real people' and goes back 86.000 years, solely by thought-power. The polygonal accuracy and the knobs is the sure sign, of these highly developed people. There is a large number of these structures around the earth, they are all made by the same people. They do absolutly everything solely by Thought-power, by de-materializing the need'ed material/rock, projecting the atoms in the Stuff, and materialize the finish Idea/structure. This is unknown to most researchers, and therefore remain as a big mystery.
You're right, but there is also this possible, that it had been shaped for other constructions and structures, as polygonal walls and alike. When they were able to take it out by thought power, they may also be able to shape into useful forms. The out-take was The great pyramid + 20%
Ancient ruins never fail to amaze me! 😍 It's incredible to see the remnants of these once-great civilizations and imagine the stories behind them. From Machu Picchu to Angkor Wat, every place has its own unique history and mystery. This video is a fantastic collection of the world’s heritage!
This is amazing! The video beautifully compiles some of the most impressive ancient ruins in the world. Each site carries a unique story, reflecting the creativity, engineering, and culture of ancient civilizations. Thank you to the channel for taking us on this inspiring journey-a wonderful glimpse into humanity's past!
Persepolis is said to have been the greatest Palace in ancient history. A massive structure built over 2300 years ago to rule what was the entire "known world" at the time (except for greece). Architects and artists all over the world contributed to building it. Although its in ruins now, it is still on my bucket list. However, since the ruin lies in Iran it gets ignored a lot by the west due to politics.
I like to watch people and places. This is a great armchair traveloge. Your photograpner journalist has good job with these all pictures, vivid and beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
It is great to see these ruins in films like these, in person you cannot appreciate the details, the sizes, the expansion of the areas, I have been in several of these places butI did not have the stamina of walking and see it all, so, thank you for this beautiful traveling video.
27:08, 28:24 For those who are interested in the topic of polygonal masonry. A number of methods for obtaining the polygonal masonry are proposed. The basis of the proposed methods is the use of clay/gypsum replicas, a topography translator, and reduced clay models of the stone blocks along with a 3D-pantograph. The results are presented in the article: “Fabrication methods of the polygonal masonry of large tightly-fitted stone blocks with curved surface interfaces in megalithic structures of Peru”. UA-cam does not allow a direct link. Search by the article title.
I've pondered this subject for many years, I have read this article. What this theory does not account for is quarry, transportation, and installation of multi ton blocks let alone 100+ ton pieces. Nor does the proposed method make any sense for more regular (generally rectangular) megalithic block construction sometimes known as "Ashlar masonry" such as Baalbek, Western wall Jerusalem, Pynx wall Athens etc. including various sites in Egypt, Peru(Mach Picchu has some walls made of nearly parallel courses) and elsewhere where huge stones were transported long distances(sometimes up mountains) and despite being generally rectangular, still exhibit the 'swollen' front face which has in some cases been artistically dressed around the parameter of each block. Why go through all the trouble of topography/3-d pantograph transfer for blocks that are still unique yet very similar? Just make them all identical H or W... The builders of all "cyclopean" or "Ashlarian" masonry were obviously capable of standardizing shapes and sizes so the wall would still offer aesthetic beauty and seismic protection, yet they did not under any circumstance choose to.
@@thunderbugcreative7778 Below are the excerpts from the article. “The main building materials of those years were boulders and blocks of rock of random (arbitrary) shape. As a rule, this building material did not need to be mined (broken out in quarries), since it was presented everywhere in the form of multi-meter deposits of mountain debris formed at the foot of the mountains as a result of fallings and landslides. In most cases, this material did not even need to be transported from anywhere, since construction took place usually at those locations where the material was already in great abundance. If a megalithic structure was located on top of a mountain, then the construction material was taken (broken out) here on the site. That is why, for example, the top of the mountain, where the Machu Picchu complex of buildings is located, is cut off, while the tops of the neighboring mountains, where no one lives, are sharp.” “After the mentioned copying process with the specified scale, the wall of stone blocks is assembled without any adjustments using rollers, levers, steel crowbars, blocks, winches, and cranes of the time.”
The book “Peruvian polygonal masonry: how, who, when and what for” (114 pp., Litres, Moscow, 2024) has been published. The book is freely available at Litres (to download, a registration is only required).
One of the most beautiful thorough incredible compilation tour wonders of the world !!! Stupendous !!! And I'm so blessed that I had visited so many of them through my darling daughter Joy who gave me the gift of travels .
Who believe it or not.. Kailasa temple is the best among all these, the sheer technology involved in crafting this temple in ancient times is mind-boggling.. only one has to go through what took to create this monolithic temple is unbelievable!! 🙏
You actually missed one great and oldest ruins of India , mamallapuram ruins of our pallava kingdom belongs to 7th century CE, Full of monolithic rock structures & oldest light house built on earth ,cave temples ,shore temples ,standing butter ball etc. I personally feel myself that it should be there on this list 👍👍👍
Just did the research and yeah indeed one of those that should be included and hopefully will get there someday, there's still so much to discover friend
Wow, Angkor Wat temple of Cambodia 🇰🇭 so much amazing 🤩, thanks for your sharing and we love all of this amazing temple in this video so much. Love all of you from Cambodia 🇰🇭
Two of the wonders here, Kailasanath Temple and Hampi both were built by two great Kannada empires, Rashtrakutas and Karnata Empire aka Vijayanagara Empire respectively...!!
Thank you so much for this video! Physically I’m not able to travel and I loved the drone footage. These are miracles of the past civilizations who left traces behind to let us know that they were here!
These ancient ruins are on the surface of the land of the earth. It could be many more ancient ruins at the bottom of the oceans. Amazing video :). Many thanks
It is Not carved, and the creators are far to developed to make any mistakes. You will very surprised, when You come to know how it were actually shaped. And when.
@Prakhar Thakur No it is Not at all common known that it was shaped solely by thought-power by very highly developed Real People many thousands years ago. Thats why this and a large number of other megalithic, and polygonal accuracy structures remain as big mysteries.
It has always fascinated me how ancient civilisations could build these marvels thousands of years ago, I've already visited Pompeii, the Colosseum, the Acropolis and many other Greek and Roman ruins, but i wish to visit a lot of these in the future.

Eman Yu ... I can wholeheartedly recommend Angkor temple complex. Nearly 20 years ago I visited Cambodia (or Kampuchea). I brought a 3 day pass, and spend all 3 days exploring the fantastic site from before sunrise to sunset, while staying in a guesthouse in nearby Siem Riep. I would like to visit this place again. It is simply mindblowing - just as mystical ruins should be. Hampi is also a fantastic place, the Kailash temple as well, but India is in general a fantastic country to visit, and hopefully I will go there again! Borobudur is a beautiful place, so go see it if you are in Indonesia. I am not sure it would be worth travel to Indonesia for alone, unles one has a specific interest in buddhism. I would love to visit Petra and The great Wall of China and Machu Piccu and Giza of course, some time in the future. Enjoy your travels when the time comes....

An ancient landmark tour is among the best travel experience. It does not only let you see its beauty but also know its background and learn more about the country it is located.
All these places and their past history is very interesting and very very EDUCATIONAL. I would LOVE to go to all these different NUMEROUS very INTERESTING places.
I've been lucky to visit some of these places. The air and atmosphere there is totally different, you feel you are in presence of something great. You just cannot help by feeling humble and respectful
Excellent video...Our modern industrial civilization is not the only one which can build gigantic architecture of endurance. There were gifted and talented people on the face of earth before us....👍
@@ekosiswanto9986 he said "one of the oldest". The most ancient civilizations in the world included ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Sumer, South Asia (Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka), ancient China.
Glad to see many sites from Latinamerican countries, such as The Moai statues in Isla de Pascua, Chile, TIKAL in Guatemala; Chichen Itza, and Teotihuacan in Mexico in this quite impressive list, but for me MACHU PICCHU, in Peru its the one to rule them all, What a place! what a city! I have visited the lost city of the Inca Empire, three times! and it never gets old.
Not much worse off than those who lived in the more recent time palaces or those living in the modern day apartments and cities I guess ..... they just had to deal with a different set of life threats but the existential issues are always overbearing except for a lucky few
Why? They were part of something spectacular and phenomenal in all the history of humans on earth; most were or may very well have been happy to be a part of it, even if they were considered slaves. For many, if not most, it was an honor to labor for a greater good.
So many ancient ruins so very beautiful. They are full of history, a rich history of different cultures of those times, it is truly fascinating. Absolutely amazing, love each and every one of them, they are remarkably well preserved. It transport me to those times. These civilizations were advanced for their times, to have built such admirable ruins is priceless and not having technology. It is mesmerizing to watch such beauty.

0:08 28:24 wow The temples of Angkor Wat in the Kingdom of Cambodia are truly beautiful and magnificent. Angkor Wat is the largest and most unique religious structure in the world. Angkor Wat was built in the 12th century AD 1113-1150 AD by King Suryavarman II and was inscribed on the World Heritage List on December 14, 1992 (tangible cultural property).
I guess (hope) these places are closed during these difficult times so this is a great way to see the world while self-isolating. Thanks for sharing this. (Take care, keep safe, everyone.) 🐨🇦🇺

Then,as said above,whenever there is decline of dharma Lord himself comes for establishment of dharma Socame the greatest philosopher, scholar,logician who is incarnation of Lord Shiva himself "ADI SHANKARACHARYA",

An important information about Ellora temple (13:00 of this video) is that it was monolithic rock cut. The most exciting fact is that the rock cutting of the mountain started from the top of the present temple and ended at the ground floor. Hats off to the great architects of all the great sites of this video.
No it is Not Cut, it is shaped, You say 'Windows starts', you are not able to know how it was shaped, and when. But it might be far older than you think and believe.
@@holgerjrgensen2166 actually the architectural style is called rock cut. So it is called monolithic rock cut architecture and not "rock-shaped".
@@heysup7014 Dear Ananyakuza, well, it might not all ways be easy to see, what that is actually cutted, and what as is shaped, but with the trained and experienced eye, it become more evident.
So, the shaped structures is created by highly developed 'real people' and goes back 86.000 years, solely by thought-power. The polygonal accuracy and the knobs is the sure sign, of these highly developed people. There is a large number of these structures around the earth, they are all made by the same people. They do absolutly everything solely by Thought-power, by de-materializing the need'ed material/rock, projecting the atoms in the Stuff, and materialize the finish Idea/structure. This is unknown to most researchers, and therefore remain as a big mystery.
Biggest mystery is where did the 3 lakh ton of rubble dugout while cutting out the temple go, no mound, not a trace of it.
You're right, but there is also this possible, that it had been shaped for other constructions and structures, as polygonal walls and alike. When they were able to take it out by thought power, they may also be able to shape into useful forms.
The out-take was The great pyramid + 20%
Ancient ruins never fail to amaze me! 😍 It's incredible to see the remnants of these once-great civilizations and imagine the stories behind them. From Machu Picchu to Angkor Wat, every place has its own unique history and mystery. This video is a fantastic collection of the world’s heritage!
This is amazing! The video beautifully compiles some of the most impressive ancient ruins in the world. Each site carries a unique story, reflecting the creativity, engineering, and culture of ancient civilizations. Thank you to the channel for taking us on this inspiring journey-a wonderful glimpse into humanity's past!

Persepolis is said to have been the greatest Palace in ancient history. A massive structure built over 2300 years ago to rule what was the entire "known world" at the time (except for greece).
Architects and artists all over the world contributed to building it. Although its in ruins now, it is still on my bucket list. However, since the ruin lies in Iran it gets ignored a lot by the west due to politics.
Wow maraming salamat oo nga ang ganda ng persepolis.
That's right, it's all about politics 👏👏👏
Not only that, it was unfortunately destroyed by Alexander the Great, not many people know the ancient Persian greatness.
I like to watch people and places. This is a great armchair traveloge. Your photograpner journalist has good job with these all pictures, vivid and beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
It is great to see these ruins in films like these, in person you cannot appreciate the details, the sizes, the expansion of the areas, I have been in several of these places butI did not have the stamina of walking and see it all, so, thank you for this beautiful traveling video.

27:08, 28:24 For those who are interested in the topic of polygonal masonry. A number of methods for obtaining the polygonal masonry are proposed. The basis of the proposed methods is the use of clay/gypsum replicas, a topography translator, and reduced clay models of the stone blocks along with a 3D-pantograph. The results are presented in the article: “Fabrication methods of the polygonal masonry of large tightly-fitted stone blocks with curved surface interfaces in megalithic structures of Peru”. UA-cam does not allow a direct link. Search by the article title.
I've pondered this subject for many years, I have read this article. What this theory does not account for is quarry, transportation, and installation of multi ton blocks let alone 100+ ton pieces. Nor does the proposed method make any sense for more regular (generally rectangular) megalithic block construction sometimes known as "Ashlar masonry" such as Baalbek, Western wall Jerusalem, Pynx wall Athens etc. including various sites in Egypt, Peru(Mach Picchu has some walls made of nearly parallel courses) and elsewhere where huge stones were transported long distances(sometimes up mountains) and despite being generally rectangular, still exhibit the 'swollen' front face which has in some cases been artistically dressed around the parameter of each block. Why go through all the trouble of topography/3-d pantograph transfer for blocks that are still unique yet very similar? Just make them all identical H or W...
The builders of all "cyclopean" or "Ashlarian" masonry were obviously capable of standardizing shapes and sizes so the wall would still offer aesthetic beauty and seismic protection, yet they did not under any circumstance choose to.
@@thunderbugcreative7778 Below are the excerpts from the article.
“The main building materials of those years were boulders and blocks of rock of random (arbitrary) shape. As a rule, this building material did not need to be mined (broken out in quarries), since it was presented everywhere in the form of multi-meter deposits of mountain debris formed at the foot of the mountains as a result of fallings and landslides. In most cases, this material did not even need to be transported from anywhere, since construction took place usually at those locations where the material was already in great abundance. If a megalithic structure was located on top of a mountain, then the construction material was taken (broken out) here on the site. That is why, for example, the top of the mountain, where the Machu Picchu complex of buildings is located, is cut off, while the tops of the neighboring mountains, where no one lives, are sharp.”
“After the mentioned copying process with the specified scale, the wall of stone blocks is assembled without any adjustments using rollers, levers, steel crowbars, blocks, winches, and cranes of the time.”

One of the most beautiful thorough incredible compilation tour wonders of the world !!! Stupendous !!! And I'm so blessed that I had visited so many of them through my darling daughter Joy who gave me the gift of travels .
That was so kind of your daughter
I’m not as blessed so I’m spending my sons inheritance to see the world
Who believe it or not.. Kailasa temple is the best among all these, the sheer technology involved in crafting this temple in ancient times is mind-boggling.. only one has to go through what took to create this monolithic temple is unbelievable!! 🙏
The Ancient People were so ARTISTIC and SMART!!!!!
ua-cam.com/video/6nEnZWrV9tA/v-deo.htmlsi=kcEiY54eoWlW96rP
You actually missed one great and oldest ruins of India , mamallapuram ruins of our pallava kingdom belongs to 7th century CE, Full of monolithic rock structures & oldest light house built on earth ,cave temples ,shore temples ,standing butter ball etc. I personally feel myself that it should be there on this list 👍👍👍
Not only mammallapuram many are there in tamilnadu but they don't know they just Wikipedia and telling
Just did the research and yeah indeed one of those that should be included and hopefully will get there someday, there's still so much to discover friend
U r right
Sounds like it should be😊
Wow, Angkor Wat temple of Cambodia 🇰🇭 so much amazing 🤩, thanks for your sharing and we love all of this amazing temple in this video so much. Love all of you from Cambodia 🇰🇭
Thank you for the tour, most would of never got to see these facinating places without you 😍
Two of the wonders here, Kailasanath Temple and Hampi both were built by two great Kannada empires, Rashtrakutas and Karnata Empire aka Vijayanagara Empire respectively...!!
💛♥️
I'm thankful to be seeing it on youtube.
Thank you so much for this video! Physically I’m not able to travel and I loved the drone footage. These are miracles of the past civilizations who left traces behind to let us know that they were here!
Amazing ancient history documentary! The way it dives into the intricacies of ancient cultures is just captivating
These ancient ruins are on the surface of the land of the earth. It could be many more ancient ruins at the bottom of the oceans. Amazing video :). Many thanks
The place in the thumbnail is kailash temple in India
maybe even more absurd than the pyramids of gizah. its carved straight out of the bedrock. imagine the stonemasons making one mistake...
It is Not carved, and the creators are far to developed to make any mistakes.
You will very surprised, when You come to know how it were actually shaped. And when.
@Prakhar Thakur No it is Not at all common known that it was shaped solely by thought-power by very highly developed Real People many thousands years ago. Thats why this and a large number of other megalithic, and polygonal accuracy structures remain as big mysteries.
Kailasa temple is must deserve first position , the creation is imaginary for present engineers to do in certain time
great to know😃😃
Thanks so much for this amazing video , it helps all of us to know how great the ancient were ! It's unbelievable .
It has always fascinated me how ancient civilisations could build these marvels thousands of years ago, I've already visited Pompeii, the Colosseum, the Acropolis and many other Greek and Roman ruins, but i wish to visit a lot of these in the future.
imagine your standing one of the ruins that thousand years ago and so many stories happened before you.

Another wonderful video of majestic history. I wish I can visit one or two ancient ruin places and wonder the past.
Flights will be booked to visit some of these places when we get out of this pandemic.
Eman Yu ... I can wholeheartedly recommend Angkor temple complex. Nearly 20 years ago I visited Cambodia (or Kampuchea). I brought a 3 day pass, and spend all 3 days exploring the fantastic site from before sunrise to sunset, while staying in a guesthouse in nearby Siem Riep. I would like to visit this place again. It is simply mindblowing - just as mystical ruins should be.
Hampi is also a fantastic place, the Kailash temple as well, but India is in general a fantastic country to visit, and hopefully I will go there again!
Borobudur is a beautiful place, so go see it if you are in Indonesia. I am not sure it would be worth travel to Indonesia for alone, unles one has a specific interest in buddhism.
I would love to visit Petra and The great Wall of China and Machu Piccu and Giza of course, some time in the future.
Enjoy your travels when the time comes....

Masada is truly amazing! I worked there in 1965 as a volunteer! Today, there is a cable car to the top--easy! At that time we walked up the (Roman) ramp each morning to start a day of digging. :-) The whole area has a magical feeling.
WOW I would have LOVED to do what you did in 1965!! It must have been an amazing time in your life Elinore Koenigsfeld!! Bet you were in excellent shape due to walking up that each morning.

An ancient landmark tour is among the best travel experience. It does not only let you see its beauty but also know its background and learn more about the country it is located.
All these places and their past history is very interesting and very very EDUCATIONAL. I would LOVE to go to all these different NUMEROUS very INTERESTING places.
Good list. Also Javanese Hindu temples at Dieng Plateau (near Prambanan) are worth mentioning.
Thank you for your assistance in my "armchair travels." Even the pleasant voice of the narrator was a delight!

I've been lucky to visit some of these places. The air and atmosphere there is totally different, you feel you are in presence of something great. You just cannot help by feeling humble and respectful
I love ancient history, want to go to all these places.
Excellent video...Our modern industrial civilization is not the only one which can build gigantic architecture of endurance. There were gifted and talented people on the face of earth before us....👍

It is an interesting past for humans.
Oldest? What about Gunung Padang ancient piramid sites, its away older than Giza
Yes.. that’s old but not well preserved
@@ekosiswanto9986 he said "one of the oldest". The most ancient civilizations in the world included ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Sumer, South Asia (Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka), ancient China.
@@ekosiswanto9986 yes oldest
Glad to see many sites from Latinamerican countries, such as The Moai statues in Isla de Pascua, Chile, TIKAL in Guatemala; Chichen Itza, and Teotihuacan in Mexico in this quite impressive list, but for me MACHU PICCHU, in Peru its the one to rule them all, What a place! what a city! I have visited the lost city of the Inca Empire, three times! and it never gets old.
Whenever I see those gigantic structures, I feel sorry for those who had suffered to build them...T T
Not much worse off than those who lived in the more recent time palaces or those living in the modern day apartments and cities I guess ..... they just had to deal with a different set of life threats but the existential issues are always overbearing except for a lucky few
Why? They were part of something spectacular and phenomenal in all the history of humans on earth; most were or may very well have been happy to be a part of it, even if they were considered slaves. For many, if not most, it was an honor to labor for a greater good.
They left there mark 😊
On this earth for thousands of year's
Which most of the human's want always 😁
❤ Beautiful places wish I could have seen them in their better days. They all need to be protected for the future civilisations to enjoy ❤

So many ancient ruins so very beautiful. They are full of history, a rich history of different cultures of those times, it is truly fascinating. Absolutely amazing, love each and every one of them, they are remarkably well preserved. It transport me to those times.

wow The temples of Angkor Wat in the Kingdom of Cambodia are truly beautiful and magnificent. Angkor Wat is the largest and most unique religious structure in the world. Angkor Wat was built in the 12th century AD 1113-1150 AD by King Suryavarman II and was inscribed on the World Heritage List on December 14, 1992 (tangible cultural property).
