Hello, Doctor Albert, would you like to visit my country to research a megalithic site called the Gunung Padang site? is in java island (indonesia) which until now is still a mystery. I hope that with technology and your team you can reveal something important on that site..
I can't wrap around my head how ancient civilizations were able to make such intricate designs, how they knew of the process and the necessary materials and tools to do it. Also, the architecture and engineering to build their place. Really mind boggling!
What I find amazing is that people today think that in the past humans weren't as smart as modern civilization. I'd actually bet if you got someone from an ancient civilization they would score higher on an non biased IQ test. In the past stupid people died young.
@Rocka7038 technology is just a word for stuff we can't make ourselves. technology comes from knowledge, money, and mostly, from power. if you command humans to do something under threat of actual punishment, people tend to find motivation pretty quickly lol. That being said, I think the reason this stuff is so mind boggling is because modern humans are, on average, so ridiculously comfortable that it takes mental gymnastics to understand what it truly means to fight for survival. Believe it or not, that survival inludes "figuring stuff out" so to speak.
One theory I like is the one about silica foraged from plants near the region that could have been refined and used to make lenses used for magnification. some theorize massive lenses both used to melt granite and to look out at the stars/constellations at night.
I love watching his documentaries. Albert Lin's voice is unpretentious and soothing to listen to which makes watching the videos a comfortable experience.
Huge appreciation for A.Lin, Natgeo and all of the team, it's such a HUGE discovery for sure. I hope after watching this i can find some journal articles about it
Great presentation, great documentary! I always can’t help feeling for the cameramen, who have to lug their equipment up an down mountain sides. They do a great job.
womp womp ... we are humans and are curious , even the indigenous ppl dont know alot of the lost cities , the people and villages and towns and how rich they were and how they lived in peace with the amazon
@@deathbycheese850 read my comment you’ll understand my friend. We are curious as a human species not a culture or specific race of skin or religion. Us as humans are curious creatures
During the last few minutes, I was literally holding my breath! The Lost Cities with Albert Lin series is amazing. They're not only educational but also incredibly fun and thrilling!
Imagine finding a lost city which ended up opening up an even wider understanding of a previous notion?! I would say this was a successful and satisfying dig, sir.
Congratulations to the National Geographic team for this remarkable achievement. The innovative use of technology to uncover lost cities hidden in plain sight, as showcased in this stunning video, is truly a captivating accomplishment.
Wow! I love watching stories about the ancient world. A. Lin is truly an amazing explorer. He gave us an idea of what the oldest civilization looks like thousands to million years ago.
We absolutely ❤ this show!! Albert, his travels & the lidar tech is mind blowing! Looks like they changed their minds & will keep the show subscription free!!👍🏽
Its legit the schtick they are pushing. Overly enthusiastic dude with one leg who spews word salad, obscures and delays the obvious. Says so little with far too many words. Repeats the same thing 3x slightly diff ways.
I'm a Native American from Northeast America, I've always dreamed of helping find it. I love history, especially ancient history. I wouldn't be greedy about it either, I would donate a lot of it to the indigenous Americans. I'm in it for the history & adventure.
@@JElz5150 I hope there is part 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 of this episode. So many unexplore place to discover. The place is so beautiful and how brilliant the people who made it. Respect for them 😍🙌🙌👏👏
I hiked to La Ciudad Perdida when I visited Colombia in 2017. Very sweaty and humid business in the jungle, but the reward of ending up at those magnificent ruins was worth it.
Thank you! I have been waiting for someone to document all the new things we are finding with Lidar and advanced technology we now have. Albert Lin is an incredible guide and watching him cut through the mountain jungle in Columbia, and climb the basalt outcrop in Micronesia…I can say he’s earned my respect! More please!
Please come to Indonesia and dig our Gunung Padang site. I am tired with the pro-contra about old and lost civilization of this site, I just want truth and I think Albert can give a glimpse of light that can lead us there where our government can't. Thankyou.
this guy and his crew does it right and because of that they actually find stuff. for once, someone actually finds stuff and even knew stuff. big salute and subscribe from me! puts a tear in my eye at the genuineness of it all.
The way they made their alloy is genius. I had an electronics teacher in high school who had us stripping apart old computers. Some of the basic components, like the power supply’s, could be reused. But the circuits were antiquated and useless, however, most had gold plating. We would use acid to strip away the gold plating, and then reconstitute it into a solid. I took an electronics class from him every year, and by my senior year, we had made three gold bars that weighed 30 pounds each. He called them his retirement plan. The other components that we salvaged, we would sell, and use the money to get more scrap to recycle, to fund our VICA club, and to buy equipment for the electronics lab. My senior year, we designed a mini amplifier for electric guitars. We were able to buy the equipment and supplies to start manufacturing the amps. The amps used a lot of gold plated components, to distortion extremely low. Most of which we salvaged from the computers and then gold plated ourselves. Using the gold to make the amplifiers cut into our teachers gold bar production, but selling the amplifiers more than made up for it. We sold the amps for $90 bucks a piece, which was still a lot of money in 1995. We figured the cost for each amp was just under $20 dollars. However, that’s with free labor and using the school’s electricity and building. We ended up making and selling more than 150 amps, the profits were over $10K, all of which went to the VICA club. Needless to say, we had an awesome end of the year party. And - the demand for the mini guitar amps was enough that our teacher found a business partner and started producing them commercially. They then sold their business to a bigger manufacturer in California. Anyway, pretty ingenious way of making the gold rise to the surface through heat and acid.
In 1994-95 I was able to join an archeology team in the Bolivian Yungas and travel part of the Takesi trail in search of artifacts. I was 34 back then and it was really tough at nearly 18-19 thousand feet above sea level. I look forward to seeing more "lost" cities being found through this new technology.
THANK YOU to all involved in the making of this AMAZING exploration 🤩 Albert; You are AMAZING! I want to follow you wherever you go but I would never be able to keep up with you! so THANK YOU for allowing us to see the most beautifully amazing places in the world without facing the dangers you so bravely preserve through 🎖️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐✨🥂
Very interesting stories. I am so amazed how you discovered this stories. From now on I am your follower and always watch your stories. Thank you so much for showing different stories every where.
This is a great video, congrats! Next time you plan to visit Colombia, feel free to reach out. I will be more than happy to share my knowledge. cheers from Bogota frank
From what we can remember, there's a hit animated movie entitled "The Road to El Dorado," which became available in theaters worldwide back in the year 2000. Now, I get to learn through this Lost Cities episode about the legends of the so-called City of Gold.
Love Albert Lin & National Geographic Full episodes! When the archaeologist said, “There’s a Terrace!” I thought he said “Terrorist!” & I gasped & jumped because at the same time it looked like Albert ducked! I mean it’s the jungles of Colombia! I thought that’s why the military were with them 🤷♀️ I had heard that there are parts of the Colombia jungle that even the military won’t go because of the Cartels
Absolutely fantastic, amazing, cinematic, crazy, adventurous, colourful, astounding, scary and educational.... an epic production & a huge shout out to the film crew ... cheers to you 🤟🎶
i'm sure a full excavation will take many years but maybe some sort of update would be really nice. What an exciting find. The archeologist must have been thrilled.
Excavation is very difficult to carry our because the area is a National Park - and a Native protected area too. Nowadays technology solutions are preferred
Finding a quarter-sized piece of fragment from a lost civilization … then there’s me, trying to find my keys in a 2 bedroom apartment unit and giving up after an hour.
Probably one of the most unique was the Columbian Military being so cooperative. I've seen this before though, thiere Islands to the north have some naval military and they are great guys. What an amazing story . Thanks. Michael Shreeve SR.
A. Lin is a wonderful person. Doing what i always dreamed of . Did get to a number of great archeological locations but not like Mr. Lin has accomplished! Congratulations and stay safe!

Unlike other shows, I love that we actually get to see new discoveries being made! History literally being uncovered as we watch. More please!
It was such a great documentary and all of their determination towards finding a lost civ is really commendable
I love watching his documentaries. Albert Lin's voice is unpretentious and soothing to listen to which makes watching the videos a comfortable experience.
I find him irritating and self-important. We all see things differently I guess.
We need a Part 2 of this -- to narrate what happens afterwards when they dug up the newly-found terrace ;)!
they will clean up the area for 15 years...
I agree....
But that would be in about 20 to 25 years from now...
I will be dead by then.... lol
I was thinking the same thing but i'm afraid the last two comments are probably true. But would love some kind of update.
Yeah!🎉
Of all Albert’s documentary, this one’s excites me most! Ancient civilisation never fails to amaze me no matter where it from.
Huge appreciation for A.Lin, Natgeo and all of the team, it's such a HUGE discovery for sure. I hope after watching this i can find some journal articles about it
Great presentation, great documentary! I always can’t help feeling for the cameramen, who have to lug their equipment up an down mountain sides. They do a great job.
The guys with the guns are just as important.
Everyone is super awesome, including the guy with one fake leg.
@@Wann-zo7rn2qn4i 😳😮
He is especially awesome
@@Wann-zo7rn2qn4i
that is saddest part the greed that effects indigenous people in such a devastating way.
womp womp ... we are humans and are curious , even the indigenous ppl dont know alot of the lost cities , the people and villages and towns and how rich they were and how they lived in peace with the amazon
@@RavenCoppawhat's your point?
@@deathbycheese850 read my comment you’ll understand my friend. We are curious as a human species not a culture or specific race of skin or religion. Us as humans are curious creatures
This has happened to Indigenous people all over the world. Non indigenous, European take it all.

Imagine finding a lost city which ended up opening up an even wider understanding of a previous notion?! I would say this was a successful and satisfying dig, sir.
It’s so much fun to watch the archaeologists’ eyes light up with wonder as you bring the technology to remote locations all over the world.
Props to the cameraman.. they are the one who struggle the most climbing!!
Love to see docs of my country 🥹 Colombia is soooooo beautiful, so intricate and full of lore and legend. Happy you got to see this side of us 😁

millions of years ago? there were actually zero civilizations then...at best the cave men days
What an inspirational person he is!
Lin seems energetic and keen throughout the episode. His skills and passion to discover is marvelous.
Its legit the schtick they are pushing. Overly enthusiastic dude with one leg who spews word salad, obscures and delays the obvious. Says so little with far too many words. Repeats the same thing 3x slightly diff ways.
@@Dav3"word salad" 😂👌 lol
agreed love this series
They couldn't find a two legged guy to do this?
Asian "explorers" cannot be trusted anywhere in the world...🤨...MAGA

44mins. Is not enough. I could watch this episode forever. ☺☺
same, i want to view the excavation of that area.

I believe mankind can overcome our hate, mistakes and realize how wonderful and blessed to have such a planet with many gifts.
Somehow, from the tens of thousand of years of observable history, I am not hopeful at all.
@@Wann-zo7rn2qn4i for real, it’s all just been exploitation, exploiting overly kind indeginous ppl from all continents
yeah, pretty sure it's too late
it's pride we need to overcome.
It’ll never happen. In North America we have a billionaire Oligarchy taking shape. 2025.

it is
Please come to Indonesia and dig our Gunung Padang site. I am tired with the pro-contra about old and lost civilization of this site, I just want truth and I think Albert can give a glimpse of light that can lead us there where our government can't. Thankyou.
Ur ppl are weak compared to Mayan and Incan culture ur not gonna find a connection
It’s sick that your trying to steal my ppls culture
If I come I will surely dig whatever u say and lead into urs ...😅
Fabuloso tu tarbajo Albert, me encanta tu sensibilidad por nuestros ancestros, sea donde sea.. muchas gracias
Thank you for making this viewing possible on UA-cam.
34:43 this is random but the two soldiers holding hands to climb together is so wholesome
this guy and his crew does it right and because of that they actually find stuff. for once, someone actually finds stuff and even knew stuff. big salute and subscribe from me! puts a tear in my eye at the genuineness of it all.
Albert is a great explorer. This was a good documentary.
I truly enjoyed this. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bravo Albert Lin... You're suh a inspiration 💗
What a delight. Thank you so very much for sharing. Gracias por compartir.!
Amazing films with Albert Lin!!!

30 Pounds of gold a year. Don't tell Parker Schnabel.
next time why don't you write an essay
or better yet make your own you tube channel lol
@@mythrapi73Intelligent people will read the essay, morons will complain. Thank him for the free knowledge sir! 🙏
That's amazing to watch this series of full episode lately
I feel bad for the camera people hoofing their gear through the jungle.
When the military peeps are struggling with the climb too, you know it's rough
If they are enjoying their job no need to feel bad ,if not 😂😂😂😂
It's about the adventure
@thomasdecker8502 Aye. Doesn't mean it's not rough.
And the camera crew had the worst of it given they had heavy gear to carry
I feel bad for the horses.
I feel bad for my indigenous brothers and sisters that till this day have foreigners going in our land and claiming discoveries as there's.
Bravo to these men enduring all the hardships to uncover part of a civilization; thank you, guys.
This is just amazing. They've just discovered a new site thru this documentary. Goosebump.
Marvelous documentation. Thank you for all the team members, including the military unit!

Very interesting stories. I am so amazed how you discovered this stories. From now on I am your follower and always watch your stories. Thank you so much for showing different stories every where.
I didn't even noticed it's 44minutes already. Only proves how much I enjoyed the video. thanks for sharing.
Lost Cities has become my new favorite thing to watch
this is amazing loved every sec of it
I am a geospatial engineering student and this is super incredible . I would love to meet Albert Lin fr
I would love to join his team if I was 30 years younger.
Amazing craftsmanship to last that long too. Incredible
Great films , I am loving all this documentary..🙏❤️👍
Thank you Albert Lim and Teams🙏
Such a great episode! Thanks for making it. Deep gratitude..........
I love what you guys do this is such a badass show
i got excited seeing you guys discover a city. that's crazy!
Awesome episode more please we could learn something 👍👍👍
Exploration is so Amazing, Fantastic. Its like am on the path of Discovery
Sir Albert Lin I'm so addicted with your adventures and documentary ❤ even if I'm on duty I'm still watchingbyoir vids and before I sleep lol😅
Loving this doc. More like this, please. Great host!
Albert is an amazing adventurer. This documentary was excellent.
I'm loving all this
When I saw the ocean I deceased. Looks so beautiful OMG
The camera crew is amazing!
Love this series!!
great .it s amazing watching .i always inspired by those cannel and people who is doing such adventure
loved every 2nd of this
"There's a better way to do this!" to the archaeologist who's been working on the sites diligently for 40 years. That didn't sound arrogant.
great respect for Mr. Lin and the explorers with them.. Truly breathtaking.
It's actually Dr Lin.
Definitely need a part two!
This is a great video, congrats!
Next time you plan to visit Colombia, feel free to reach out. I will be more than happy to share my knowledge.
cheers from Bogota

i love watching your documentary
My heart pumps so fast ❤ I enjoy so much ❤
Props to everyone who climbed.. especially the cameraman.... I could NEVER.
I envy you, Lin... You do your job and you enjoy it to the maximum. Keep going, bro.
His prosthetic cup is going to be full of sweat. Hats off to him!
I always wonder how he deals with that.

This was an awesome insight. Great job by albert.
Thanks for making me want to watch National Geographic again.
This was so cool!
THIS DESERVES MORE VIEWS
Much love from India ❤
Amazing!
Great video! I never knew that cuidad perdida was larger than the uncovered terraces! Gotta go there one day.
Excelente . Me gustaría que lo traduciera al español soy colombiana y me fascina estos temas y mas si es en mi país y verlo todo
This is fabulous i want more
Wow! I want to see more.
