      I don't mind about the order itself, but when combined with the countdown format, it's very misleading. Just number them 1-15 for counting purposes. The countdown gives the impression there is some kind of order to them.

    (8:55) The pictures of the smaller building with the five story pagoda are in Horyu-ji, but the big boxy building and most of the interior shots are of the Todai-ji temple's Daibutsu-den (Great Buddha hall) in Nara City. Even though it's a replica only 2/3 the size of the original, it was built in 1709 and was the biggest wooden building in the world until the late 90s. Like most ancient Japanese buildings it was built like a giant 3D puzzle of interlocking parts and no nails. The Daibutsu (Great Buddha) is one of the world's largest indoor statues. Todai-ji is almost as old as Horyu-ji and there are a few structures in the complex that are over 1000 years old. Many of the temples in Nara were founded when Nara was the capitol of Japan in the 8th century, and their power and influence, especially Todai-ji, were one of the reasons they moved the capitol from Nara to Kyoto. I lived about two blocks from Todai-ji's sister temple, Saidai-ji, for 12 years and could see the roof of Todai-ji's Daibutsu-den and the first imperial palace site (Heijo-kyo) from the roof of my building. Some of my contracts were teaching ESL to the volunteer guides from some of the local temples, including one in Ikaruga-cho teaching the guides from Horyu-ji. I used to joke that I should be paying them instead of the other way around because I was learning way more than I was teaching.
    If you've heard the name Yamato, that's the old name for Nara and it's considered the historical and cultural heart of Japan. And Nara City is only about a 30 min train ride from the city centers of Osaka and Kyoto, so the whole Kansai region is awash in history. The whole area is also peppered with massive stone tombs called kofun, some going back as far as the 4th century. No-one is allowed on them and most of them are covered with 1600+ years of soil accumulation and foliage so they look like keyhole shaped islands with moats around them. Many historians believe that Yamato is derived from the Yamatai kingdom and that Queen Himiko is buried outside of Sakurai City in the Hashihaka kofun. There are also a lot of castles and ruins.

      Madison Ave the birthplace of advertising anything to trick people into buying ideas, actions and behavior since Hitler got his ideas against different people call eugenics that men needed an excuse to be superior to another for their ego of which there is very little evidence that women believe as too busy with actually performing the real work for survival after men decided city and agriculture in one place for accommodating resources for men then to covet what another king had that caused no improvement in behavior of men for 10,000 years as women care for the offspring that men always say "not mine" and leave for something or someone younger for a while that causes strife between counties and don't get me started about different religious ideas.

    You have mixed up two Japanese temples! This video shows TODAI-JI TEMPLE as well as Horyuji, which IS the oldest temple in Japan. Todai-ji is the largest wooden building in the world and holds the largest bronze statue in the world, that of Buddha.

You completely ignored my reply to YOUR statement about 200 year old buildings, not mentioned in video, in order to make an insult because your original comment was so stupid you can't defend it. Instead you bring up the pyramids and an irrelevant cave. You can't stick to the topic or the actual video.

      @@cheech7900 argument? Sorry pal, just calling out an inane nonsensical comment for what it was not an argument as your addled mind thinks. You couldn't even provide an acceptable example of the topic. A cave? Caves aren't buildings and it hasn't been occupied for 12000 straight years. The Pyramids aren't in use they are simply museum pieces with no use outside of being historical tombs. All you were doing is trying to take a dig at America for ecred. That's fine but at least be accurate instead of coming off as one of the least intelligent commenter's.

    There are wooden houses in Isranbul that date from the 300s.
    In Europe there are thousands of buildings built over 1500 years ago that are still in use today. Hell the house I live in was built in 1140.
