    My family saw the Acropolis in 1967 on a vacation. What was amazing were all the sea shells and other sea items that were up there and massive amounts of marble chunks and chips. It was incredible. Thanks for all of these photographs.

      Colossal tsunami waves decimated Greece and Italy and other Mediterranean regions in the 1300's - then western Europe.
      South Asia was decimated by tsunami waves in the 1400's - then Caribbean regions were decimated by tsunami waves - along with Florida.
      Eastern regions of the usa were inundated with seawater c1500 ...
      Then central regions of North America, then western regions ...
      Then western regions again in the early 1700's ...

    Been to Athens twice, 1990 and 2018.
    Big differences between them in only 28 years.
    In 1990 was much more free and easy, but rougher.
    Surprisingly in 1990 they held a Alice Cooper concert on the Acropolis, open for free as I remember.

    • @fredlada1634
      @fredlada1634 6 місяців тому

      Not a single image was edited out of all of these.
      In the late 1800s people didn’t f around with retouches and stuff like this.
      As an analog photographer myself i know for a fact the films used at the time were so low speed that you had to take very long exposures, even in bright day light. Optics were not very good and they didn’t really have fast apertures neither, hence why we don’t see people, and if we do they are all blurry because they had to stand for 30seconds to 2 minutes straight without moving.
      All images showing the sea has the sea being flat like a floor without a single ripple and to have such an effect it’s at least 60seconds, but without ripples caused by the waves ? At least 2 minutes.
      The sky being all white without clouds is due to the poor quality of optics coupled with the low contrast of the films at the same, which makes the sky overexposed. You can shoot an old camera lens with some modern film in it, the non anastigmat lenses will provoke the same effect of having the sky appear overexposed, all white without details.
      It’s only at the beginning of the 1900s that we see photographers going the artistic route trying different printing methods, doing some retouching or combining film negatives.
      These photographs shown here were taken by tourists or professional photographers, but none of them were edited.

    Let’s be real, the ancients ruins speak for themselves that humanity was restarted some time around 1850, perhaps earlier like in 1700.
    How could populations leave these structures to crumble in ruins like this over the thousands of years ? It’s simple : Because those who built these things and the generations that used to live with these buildings still intact died, humanity was wiped out along the way and then thousands of years later a new type of human beings appeared on the earth, and we find these things laying in ruins, we don’t know anything about the history and people make sheet up as they go.
    The human species we are today is only an inheritor of everything it’s obvious, we are not descendants of these people of the old world, humanity has been wiped out inbetween
