Today I take you to the landlocked country of Luxembourg. On top of the hill, is this picturesque castle, commanding a fine view of surrounding parts of the valley. This stunning building dates back to the late 19th century and is steeped in history. The building was constructed by Mr. Galois, who came from an important Luxembourgish family that was prominent in politics and industry in that time period. He was the head of the household and had thirteen children by two wives, and made this castle... the home of his family. As his children grew older and decided to live on their own, he and his wife at the time found the castle to be too voluminous and decided to turn it into a hotel and to live on a smaller scale. Ultimately, Mr. Galois died at the age of 64 and the castle was sold. This time not to a Luxembourg family, but to an Arab family who bought the property as a summer residence. The castle thus became the new property of a prosperous oil sheik and his family. Their Islamic faith is still reflected everywhere in their former holiday home by the day of today. But now comes the interesting part that we observed during our research. The last Arab owner of this property died in 2015. This is the exact year that the former king of Saudi Arabia died and we see this important person everywhere in photos spread throughout the property. It gets even crazier: the owner has exactly the same name as this former king of Saudi Arabia. However, further research refutes this theory: we then arrive at a FaceBook profile of the owner, of which we will not share much with respect for the next of kin. Here we find the heartbreaking reports of the loss of their loved one. After this sorrowing event, his family never returned from Saudi Arabia to visit their castle. Instead, I'm visiting it today to take you into the bewitching story of this Arabian family and give you a glimpse into their lives.

This tells you no matter what you accumulate one day you will leave it all behind so always be humble and kind cause that's the only thing will lives on
Deplam
True brother. 👍
✌
That truly... 👍👍
Excellent,,,, people worshipping money , friends, and gold not knowing God gives
I am luxemburgish and it's sad to see how much changed in this location since my first visit... Great Video and this castle is definitely one of the most beautiful ones in Luxembourg. A persom who knows the family contacted me and told me that the owner died and his wife took over the castle. The family lives in Saudi Arabia and uses the castle for vacations, the last time they were in the castle was in 2015. The person also told me that he contacted the owner and the police, because there have been many break-ins since the family is in Saudi Arabia. I hope this Location won't get rushed by people with bad intentions... Greetings from Luxembourg!
Ech kennen den Schlass do mol nit 😣
I can't belive they leave this abandoned I would live there
That is very interesting. Thank you for taking the time to explain!
So it isn't abandoned?
The Saudi Royal Family has more than enough money to hire security for this place but they don't care. They have mansions in England that they have abandoned and there is moss in them. These mansions can be seen on You Tube.
Successful people don't become that way overnight .most people you see as a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life..
@Adam Lopez But of a truth they are scammers but real brokers are out there too waiting for investors.
So don't be scared of giving any one a try.
that's amazing recommendation thanks for that 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
He is obviously the best, I invested $3,000 and i made profit of $28,000 just in 15 days.
His success story is everywhere
I'm so amazed after watching such a great castle 🏰 the most interesting part when you turn on the light and there is still electricity overall you have done a amazing vlog 👏 I really loved it 💐
These videos of abandoned houses made me feel sad and miserable ... a person clings to this life as if he were immortal in it .. He spends enormous wealth on building palaces and luxurious residences .. and he is keen to decorate them with all kinds of precious and rare pieces .. while he forgets that he lives A mortal, non-permanent life .. and at a moment death surprises him and leaves everything behind him as if he did not exist .. as if he had never been happy .. on the contrary, he was a servant and servant in this life .. and he did not really enjoy and was not happy in the way The correct thing for happiness .. is to taste simplicity and a sense of trivial things, perhaps every day he lives..and in helping people and animals..and getting closer to God.
I think they thought their offspring would live in it .
Amen
Hi pink. This happens when you have a lot of wealth and mind doesn't work on the other side ye know.
You make a lot of assumptions about these people of whom you really know nothing. Their lifestyle may not conform to what you or I think of as normal but that doesn’t mean they were unkind or even arrogant people. Many Islamic cultures require you to be hospitable and welcoming to strangers and to throw open your home to any relatives that may arrive at your doorstep. You are required to give your best! Wealthy people will have double Master Suites so that when a relative arrives they have equal accommodations to the householder. We here in the west suffer from an arrogance of culture that teaches us that we are not worthy unless we are BETTER. We are not satisfied with uplifting all to an equal plane, rather we feel only those who are “deserving” should be on that better plane. I have learned in my time on earth that there is good in every culture and in all people. The more you look for and expect that good the more of it you will find. I also find that the more you see of other cultures the richer your own life becomes. The World is full of richness, why not partake of as much of it as you can?
It is very beautiful what you have just said.
your voice is good to hear, so I fail to focus and feel sleepy, it's like listening to a fairy tale before bed 💓
It makes me want to read 1001 Nights
😴😴😴😂😂
Me too..😅
هذه القلعة تخص رجل أعمال سعودي، وليست للأسرة المالكة، وتفسير وجود الصور للملوك هو أمر شائع للعامة بوضعها في غرفة الضيوف تعبير عن ولائهم للحكام. وأنت تعتقد أن أقتحام المنازل المهجورة عمل رائع ويستحق المجازفة، لكن في الواقع أنك ترشد اللصوص والمخربين بالذهاب إليها وسرقتها والعبث بمحتواها، فأنت تستحق المسائلة، ويجب محاكمتك لإقتحام منازل الغير.

Great video guys!!! Keep up the good work!! I can only imagine it in it’s prime!! Very beautiful!! Love y’all!!!💜💜💜
The game in the zippered case is called 'Backgammon'. "Backgammon is one of the oldest known board games. Its history can be traced back nearly 5,000 years to archaeological discoveries in Mesopotamia. It is a two-player game where each player has fifteen pieces that move between twenty-four triangles according to the roll of two dice."
I must say, this was quite interesting ! I'm Arab, but not from Saudi Arabia but we share lots of cultural similarities. When you were walking by the bathrooms I had to pause to check if the water pipe is next to the toilet lol ! We literally can't live without them ! If you visited an Arabic country in the future, you'll notice there's a pipe next to each toilet where you can spray water to clean after yourself. Another thing, the bed with the radio ! I remember my grandma had one ! It was a wooden bed with a radio in the middle (very similar to the one shown in the video) and speakers on the sides. My mum said that these beds were quite trendy back then and her sister had one too when she got married :D The heavy covers (with fur I guess?) were fascinating too! They reminded me of the olden days when the weather was colder than now and we had to use them in winter haha - sadly, they hardly exist nowadays :O ! The pots obviously show how our culture is, we can't live without our tea and Arabic coffee :D ! That explains why there were so many of them here and there :) I absolutely loved the furniture though, it seemed like this family really loved velvet ! It wasn't surprising to me to see as many hangers as there were! Arabs have bigger families, could have 7-9 children normally and might have even more! Add to that, in one household, there could be more than one family living together! So it's absolutely normal for them to live in bigger houses, own more rooms, and need more necessities. Also, I don't think this castle is abandoned honestly. It looks like they had repairment plans in mind but were on hold for God knows what reasons - maybe change in plans or postponed for later years. I also think they could come back anytime they want especially that their belongings and clothes are still there. Arabs wouldn't usually keep their stuff behind them unless they return back to them, if not, they would simply donate their unused things. But again, things happen out of one's hands sometimes, yet it could be a matter of time - so I really hope people wouldn't just assume things and judge others + keep in mind you could "own" something and decided when to use it or not because it's "yours" afterall :) Soooo, anyway! Thank you for sharing this ! You did a wonderful job :)
I really appreciate your comments. Some people here like to assume that just because they are Arabs and from a royal family they don’t care about their own belongings.
@@BA-fy8kt Excatly ! Being rich doesn't mean you're being careless or unappreciative. Thank God we were taught to give a person 70 excuses before judging... But again, some people like to be dramatic & act as if they're "know it all" :)
I would never wear those clothes again,all the molds around it. Why they leave so cluttery,unorganized. I am sure they can afford for caretaker? I am not rich but I never use plaster hangers... I throw them away..
@@myrnahall6168 One thing I can assure you is that Arabs from the Gulf region specifically are known to be very preserved people, they would NEVER leave personal documents and family pictures like that if they knew they would never return back! So, high probability, something happened and they weren't able to return for their belongings, and more importantly, they must have reasons for not taking other measures. We can't just jump into questions like why did they and why didn't they.. after all.. it's none of our business :O
@Adnan Madi أتفق، الله العالم ما كانت أسبابهم وعسى أن يكونوا بخير أينما كانوا
What a fireplace! The detail is outstanding…. Another outstanding video. Love watching and learning…. Thank you.
Fico intrigada do porque abandonar um lugar incrível como este castelo?! Parabéns equipe pela ótima filmagem, com a história legendada, gratidão!
Wow....what a castle! They left so much stuff! I loved the big beds! Great job Maureno ❤
The music is incredible it urges you to expect a mystery. your soft voice mesmerizes the audience. I enjoy the whole tour and lots of thanks.
I have watched several abandoned castle shows, this is my favorite show by fare. Well done! Please wear gloves and masks, I don’t want you to get sick. Thank you for all that you do.
I am really enjoying your videos. I just love how you pan the video around so we could enjoy the video.
Its sad to see such a beautiful home been left to decay, worth restoring it because it has amazing artwork and detailing in every inch of the house and it has a story to tell.
Guys Guys Guys !!!! You did it again you took me on a great explore !!! I can't thank you enough I know you are doing what you are so passionate about but you make a big difference in my life I live out my dreams through you guys 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 please stay safe and God bless from America 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

Being an Arab, I was amazed to see these monuments, thank you for shedding light on this beautiful castle full of Arab and Islamic monuments ، All the pictures hanging on the wall are surahs from the Holy Quran written in Arabic . ❤️
Duvarlara Kur'an'dan ayetler koymuşlar, fakat yaşayışları Kur'an'ın gösterdiği yol ile kesinlikle ilgisi yok. İslam yadımlaşmayı, paylaşmayı, dayanışmayı, yoksullara, fakirlere, kimsesizlere, yetimlere yardım etmeyi emreder. İsrafı, gösterişi, şatafatı, azgınlığı yasaklar. Ortadoğu'da Afrika'da ve dünyanın farklı bölgelerinde insanlar açlıktan ölürken bunların yaptığı azgınlığın, israfın haddi hesabı yok. Bu yaptıklarının İslam ile nasıl bir ilgisi olabilir!
@@aligrosa2039 My brother, since you are Turkish, I live in Turkey, I have four years, I have never seen racism in my life, as I saw it with the Turks, and the Muslim Turks, especially, so, you have no right to talk about Arabs, because there are no people in the whole world, as generous as Arab
@@sara.2814 Benim eleştirim tüm Arap ulusuna değil, Körfez ülkelerinde saltanat, israf, azgınlık, büyük lüks içinde yaşayan Kral ve şeyhlerine. Ayrıca bunların cömertliklerini Yemen'de, Filistin'de, Somali'de, Çad'ta, Sudan'da, Libya'da, Suriye'de ve diğer ülkelerde çok iyi görüyoruz! Türkiye 11 yılda fazla, topraklarında çoğu Suriyeli olmak üzere 5 milyondan fazla sığınmacığa bakmaktadır. Bu cömerliği, kardeşliği, yardımlaşmayı başka hiçbir ülke yapmamıştır.
@@aligrosa2039 Brother, if it were not for the aid and money that comes from Europe to Turkey, for the sake of the Syrians, Turkey would not have received this huge number of refugees. As for the Arabs and the elderly, you do not know, they may be donors, in large quantities, but not everything is apparent.
That's sad 😔 how that beautiful castle is deteriorating like that
Ok go and decore Castle if you are sad

Thanks guys very interesting as usual and I’ll do such a great job I wish everybody was as thoughtful and kind and is such a good tour guide as y’all are
Buenísimo video como siempre Maureno. Muchas gracias. Realmente muy profesional en su exposición y relato. Muchas bendiciones desde Santiago de CHILE
22:57 The first picture on the left is of King Abdulaziz, King of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, while the one in the middle is his son, King Salman Abdul Aziz, born in 1935. He is the seventh king, and his son is Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia since 2017 until now, and the picture on the right is of King Faisal bin Salman. Abdul Aziz was born in 1906 and was assassinated on 3/25/1975. He is the third son of King Abdulaziz 🌹Unfortunately, my dear, none of them is Abdullah and I wonder who is Abdullah Raman you mean?
Estoy viendo este hermoso castillo y si me encanta ya , aunque aún no he visto todo. Gracias por otro viaje al pasado de la mano de uds. Saludos.👍❤️
If they still used it as a holiday home, why they didn't leave someone to look after the property to maintained and protect it from break in... thank you Maureno and company fir sharing it....
Muy bueno el video, me parece muy hermoso el castillo y gracias por los subtítulos, lo relatas muy bien...saludos desde Tamaulipas, México
Parabéns pelo video amo coisas antigas vocês nos fazem viajar no tempo e conhecer histórias incríveis amei
Love these castle videos. Can't imagine living like that. Must of been great.
Such an awesome place! Wish I could afford to buy that! The beautifully ornate fireplaces and the gorgeous stained glass windows! Looks to be in decent shape. So sad that they just left the family portraits behind.☹️
The children are all grown and probably went all their separate ways in life. Plus they may not want to visit since sadness of parent's deaths. They may not wish to disturb it. I don't know but thank YOU so much for another amazing tour!!!!!!!!💕
I certainly enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing it with us, God bless you always and keep you from harm 😇🙏🎉🇵🇭
Va mulțumesc pentru aceste căutări, ale voastre. Castelele vizitate de voi au multă frumusețe și istorie. Multa bafta!
The "horn" hanging on the coatrack by the fireplace in the first grand room is a Powder Horn used to hold gunpowder to load black powder into antique black powder handguns or rifles. A little lever at the top of the horn where the spout is the metal piece with the hole in it is to measure the amount of powder that you would load into the weapon.
Hey guys keep up the interesting places and take care . Much love my boys
Amazing!! Thanks for sharing !!
Such amazing place many items left. Just fell in love with this castle. You have wonderful videos have a great day be well. Just wonder what did happen to the family? ❤️❤️🏰🏰
The palace must have been beautiful and it day. I do love all the fireplaces there very ornate. Another great find take care and have rainbow days. Looking forward to another great find from you guys.
Me encanta ,la explicación, desconocer el motivo de el abandono, es frustrante, gracias!!🇦🇷
I had skipped this one for a little bit, but so glad that I finally watched if, great explore.So many beautiful things left and so many have nothing or barely anything, it is all by other peoples design , those that try and control in so many, many ways.I know for a fact , cause I had had people at different times do this to me.Wh ed n I have been one of many that tried to help even those that were and are homeless.So yes very sad so much clothes etc., left to go to waste.But I did enjoy the video, you have such a wonderful way of sharing and carin , please be sure to take care of your selves when exploring, until the next time, God's blessings and peace be with you all.
the board game at 30:35 is called 'backgammon' . it's a really old game dates back millenniums. Thank you as always and good to see you again :)
Hi Maureno, Explomo, What an interesting and very well made video! - I especially loved your wonderful introduction narration at the beginning of the video. The background story was so touching to listen. - The original interior elements, like for instance a fireplace in one of the rooms, are still very fascinating to see, and the style of the late 19th century is showing off. But naturally the later furniture, probably from the 1980ies doesn't really match to a castle of this caliber with such a historical significance, when it belonged to the founder and his family. - However I naturally enjoyed watching and following you in mind through that wonderful location. - I also loved the beautiful drone shots showing the countryside, where this castle is located. - Really wonderful to see! - You always show so much respect for the locations, you are exploring together with your friends, and the quality of your videos about your explores is outstanding. - Greetings also to Remon. So, I am already looking forward to your next explore adventure. Stay safe, dear bro! - Wishing you all the best, peace, lots of blessings and kindest regards.
Adorei este castelo. Vocês estão de parabéns. Linda arquitetura adoro os detalhes que você nós mosyra com calma e detalhes e muito carinho e respeito no que faz.👏👏👏
Thank you for the nice video & kind exploration. I pray may Allah bless the royal family, the kingdom and the people of Saudi Arabia
That Arabic language on the top of the door was "Ayat tul kursi" it saves the house from bad things and devils and it's true I have the experience with it
Yes it is
The one that saves the house from bad things is Allah... ayatul Kursi are verses from the Al Quran
lol right... lmao
I read there lots of "devils" in Belgium. Shows good sense :)
The house may likely be occupied by ghosts rather than demons. Ghosts are very sentimentally attached to the place for old times sake, and they hate any new owner"s attempt to renovate the entire place. They have respect for custodians and restorers, but not anybody who comes with renovation plans.
Love you guys. You are so respectful when visiting these amazing homes. Thank you for another great video ❤️.
Very nice!! Loved it! Love kenny ❤
That "device" is a powder horn. It was used to hold the gun powder for old muzzle loading rifles. Antique gun enthusiasts also still use them. Cool house! Weird decor.
What a unique place, each floor seemed so different than the first ones. The stained glass and ornate fireplaces on the first floor seemed Germanic to me, but when you got to the bedrooms they seemed much more modern. The one thing I noticed was the beautiful oriental rugs in those rooms which gave an Arabic aura. Absolutely love this exploration.
At @ 7:58- that is a wicker “peacock” chair. And it’s in great condition! Thanks for the explore; I just found you guys and decided to become a new subscriber! So I’ll have to binge watch to get caught up! 🙃💟☮️ from America!
I was binge watching Bros of Decay and YT played this next. This guy sounds exactly like Leslie in tone, manner and inflection so I didn’t even realize I wasn’t watching Bros of Decay any more. That’s trippy.
That one thing you thought was an instruement-- was a POWDER HORN-- used to hold black powder for the old flintlock rifles..
Hello I am from Saudi Arabia A fan and a good follower of your channel. The picture at 21:10 is not the one who lived here,It's for the former king of Saudi Arabia king Fahad who's died in 2005 . The three pictures at 22:57 are for former king Abdulaziz who's died in 1953 and current king Salman and the former crown prince Mohammad. At 41:39 it's a Censer en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censer Hope to see more videos and good luck
Thanks a lot fr this info 🤗
Mostly Arab countries are blessed with wealth👍and must be generous to poor people... Why not sell that property and spread to the needy, 😏👍😘
Hello Emad Lenovo and others who have replied thank you for identifying these people much respect.
@@princessgoramez7287 they give too much for poors i know they have big heart
The 4th picture is my former boss,,his so very generous and kind..
It was a strange place,a bit random in parts but what a beautiful castle can you imagine restoring it
PARABÉNS POR MAIS ESSE VÍDEO! Dou lack antes de assistir, quando termina, quero dar mais lack. Amo esse hobby!
It's always sad to see such beautiful places where nobody lives now
That's king fahad picture, room with bed, with wheelchair, after he died, king Abdullah replaced him... They were soooooo generous indeed 😘👍😘😘😘
41:30 is called “buokhoor” it’s more of a tradition, basically it’s a specific type of wood and trees cur into small pieces and once you burn it in the “moubkhara” (the thing in the video) it will smells soo beautiful.
Thank you so much for the explanation of the tradition of “Buokhoor” and the naming of the artifact. You’ve made my understanding of Saudi Arabian Culture just a little richer!!

Sou brasileira e adoro essas casas , fazendas , castelos , mansões e palácios antigos, acho sensacional por eles serem bem antigos e eu amo antiguidades.Parabéns
Item at 16:20 looks like a black powder horn. For old flintlock muskets, you would store dry powder in one of these and when you needed to shoot, you would load your powder, wad (small piece of fabric or paper, and your musket ball. If your powder got wet, the musket wouldn't fire.
I absolutely love this palace!! Like all the previous explorations you did this one with sensitivity, respect and grace. Really I think you are a role model and I will certainly show it to my nephew to teach him about history and beauty. It seems to have been definitely owned by a senior royal from Saudi Arabia. Hope it gets attention soon, it’s so sad to see such a historical gem left alone. Great job guys once again, you go from strength to strength 👍
What an interesting find. Lots of history there
Very entertaining , with reference to the Musical Instrument !! hanging on the hall stand,,,It is a black gunpowder horn, with silver mounts. the lever near the thin end, allows a measured amount to be loaded into the firearm.. the gun.
Obrigado por proporcionar essa visão muito interessante e imprecionante amo esse trabalho que fazem com respeito e seriedade
What a treat! I hope the man didn't suffer long and made it to heaven. I hope the family are able to retrieve their special things from this beautiful home and that it isn't left to deteriorate. It is a stunner even in a state of neglect. You all are the best there is! You deliver big time !
Such a shame that the castle like that has been abandoned and deteriating badly😢so a beautiful place in its day. The furniture I absolutely love😍 Thank you for sharing🙏and please remember to wear a mask and gloves on your next fabulous and interesting exploration🙏🙏🙏😀💖
the " instrument" hanging on coatvrack is a powder horn from musket use and is an antique.
Lindíssimo castelo , a imagem de quem morava , corre solta , são tantas suposições , gratidão por nos mostrar outra cultura , saúde , paz , se cuidem , abraços .!!!!!!!
Sehr schönes Schloss, unten war sehr schön und gemütlich, die oberen Räume, waren nicht der Hammer, aber habt ihr gut gemacht, schön so etwas mal zu sehen., vielen Dank grüße aus Deutschland 👌👍😁
the horn hanging from the first furnished room you showed looked to me like a powder horn. It would have been used to load a very old gun.
so much damage. it is so sad to see this castle left to rot. It does not look as if it was built as well as other castles that you have shown, I hope someone saves it soon.
Olá Sou brasileira,mas admiro seu trabalho Seus vídeos são ótimos Pena que não sei inglês Mas assisto com legenda mesmo Obrigado por nos proporcionar todas essas histórias Abraço🤗😍
Amazing explore. Those beds are awesome... Wish I had that vanity! I really wish people would respect other people's property and not steal and destroy this home is amazing I'd love to know the backstory why everything was left behind love you guys take care be safe and where's your mask that black mold is scary!!! Moreno 💖
The item hanging from the hat/coat rack at approx 16:25 is called a powder horn, used to hold black powder for a musket or rifle. If someone mentioned it already in the comments and I missed it...I apologize.
Correct. And it is very old and elaborate. Did you see the valve that controls the flow of powder?
Legal eu assisti, sou do Brasil adorei o vídeo sou fã do programa de vcs parabéns não perco nenhum.
the three pictures hanging on the wall, the middle one is the picture of now the reigning King of Saudi Arabia, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud. King Salman became King on 23 January 2015 - now!
You always manage to find the most random articles in your journeys and the backgammon game is only another odd find, not to mention the Electric keyboard. Fantastic castle, too bad there is so much water damage and it will be lost sooner than it should be. Thank you for sharing this journey with us
They may have been starting to renovate the place, then left..maybe someone will save it..nice job once again on your exploring 😊😉
It sounds like ghosts hate their attempt to renovate the place.
41:30 It is an incense burner (the oud and musk are placed inside it with the ignition of charcoal to give a wonderful and very beautiful smell) oud incense
A huge family must have lived there! Wow!
Wow love the fireplaces. I bet they went back to Saudi Arabia. Those beds upstairs were cool. To bad the place is wasting away. Thanks Maureno 🙂✌
The symbol on the ironwork inside the carved fireplace (23:52) is called Fleur-de-lis, (French: “lily flower”) , also spelled fleur-de-lys, also called flower-de-luce, stylized emblem or device much used in ornamentation and, particularly, in heraldry, long associated with the French crown. One legend identifies it as the lily given at his baptism to Clovis, king of the Franks (466-511), by the Virgin Mary. The lily was said to have sprung from the tears shed by Eve as she left Eden. I have noticed that it has appeared in many of your videos inside of fireplaces, on wallpaper etc. There is much information to be found online regarding its symbolism throughout time.
Maureno has been in so many French castles, he should know by now that it is the Fleur - de - lis. You are correct about it appearing in many of his videos. When will he learn?
It's also the Louis Vuitton brand logo.
Thank you that is so interesting.
Eu adorei essa exploração e uma viagem na cápsula do tempo e top ,adoro vcs são demais
I guess this Castle/Property Owned by the late either King Fahad or king Abdullah of Saudi Arabia by looking at the Photo hanging on the Wall both king passed away .Or their next of kin and you have a very nice respectfull thoughs when talking about the People and their Beliefs and the Arabic Photos/Carpets hanging around most of them are Prayers to Protect the People and the Place from Harm/Bad Spirits .But most of Rich or Business men and prominent household also hangs the photos of the Ruler .I was once a Nurse working in Dammam kingdom of Saudi Arabia I enjoyed the Video thanks for Sharing 😇😇😇
The photo @ 18:50 was from a Polaroid camera that came out in the 60s. I remember owning one around 1980. It reached the height of its popularity in the 80s, but the company’s owner decided to gradually cease production and withdraw from analog instant film products completely on Feb. 8, 2008. It started out with black and white prints, then became colored by 1963. The photo of the boy was possibly taken in the 90s, but I’m just guessing. I’m usually pretty good at guessing the time line by studying the clothes, hairstyle and makeup worn. You kept moving the photo so I couldn’t get a real good look.
41:15 is an Oudh stand. They put the burning piece of coal over it and then drop some typical Arabic perfume powder or place wood pieces soaked in perfume oil over it. As it slowly burned the woody Arabian fragrance spread around. You will see that in every arab home. The perfumed powders or wooden pieces are expensive. Their women also perfume their hair with that smoke and their clothes before they leave homes, when they are about to pray or receive guests. This stand is given to the guests to take the perfume in their robes as well. Pretty much an everyday thing for them.
Guao me deja sin palabras lo hermoso todo los detalles increíblemente maravilloso gracias por compartir saludos de Nicaragua.
I think they are Arabic prayer tapestries. The instrument that you saw on the wall was as a bugle that was used for fox hunting and the the thing that you thought was a bugle, is a gunpowder flask. The game is called backgammon.
The carved wooden fireplace is amazing. I see Greenman in the first fireplace but in the second one @23:27 I see Melsusine holding a cameo that appears to be dressed in Elizabethan (Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph II, the Philosopher King, often remembered painted in fruit in not unsimilar style). There seems to be an absence of common Christian themes so often found in the carvings and stained glass, (though I couldn't see if that was a cross worn on the necklace of the 'Elizabethan' cameo) The old home with mostly non-Christian themes surely made the home a more attractive buy for the Arab Muslim family. I suspect they replaced the stained glass in the main room double doors @12:05 which now has a more Arab flavor than the rest but still jives just fine, especially with the Greek key pattern seen @11:43 in the floors.
It is very common for saudi people, specially rich people and with those of business, to hang a picture of their beloved kings. Those 3 pictures were King Fahad, King Abdullaziz, King Salman. Saudi people loves to buy things, useful or not, specially dresses, bags and shoes, signature or not. Money is nothing for them, as long as they feel happy with it. That thing in the window, they put an aroma in it, making tha place smelling good, like incense. I love your exploration, so detailed and with history on it. Take care always.
Yes I agree with you because I'm working here in Saudi Arabia for 8 years now 🥰🥰
Went to collage with a guy who’s father was a sheik, he would toss him thousands of dollars if he was going out for coffee. I saw it with my own eyes. Never felt so poor in my entire life. My friends monthly allowance was a bit over what my dad earned in a year
@@michellehosmillomarananrox5818 my dear if you are working in saudi you should have correct information.saudi people like anybody else in this world some are rich and some are not. I am saudi and am sure you have been treated well in our country beacause you spend 8 years .
Sonia I wish you are fair when you are talking about saudi Arabia .It is true we love our country and our kings .But we work very hard to earn our money and deal with in Wise way As our religon order us mostly helping other people in other poor country
@@dr.j.a.n.7146 i love saudi arabia, that is why i am still here working for more than a decade. like in other countries, everything is not perfect, but mostly it depends on how you were treated by the people, or how you treat them too. Of all the people i've met here in saudi arabia, they were all nice and friendly. Treat them right and they will treat you better...
The moment where you showed the open book explains a lot, the book talk about how to divide the wealth of a deceased one to his children and wife or husband in Islam, so I think the owner children came after the death of their father to see what can they do with this place. The picture that was on the wheelchair is for the former king of Saudi (King Fahad) that died before more than 15 years ago. The 3 pictures hanging on the wall starting from the left is King Abdulaziz the founder of Saudi Arabia, second one is King Salman who is the knig of Saudi right now, and the last one is Prince Mohammed bin Naif the crown prince at that time period. Other thing is and it strikes me the most, is how are the doors left open like this, because the third picture hanging on the wall showed the crown prince at the time period (2015-2017) so it hasn’t been so long since someone of the owners family was here, 7 years at most. ( I watched the the whole video now and saw the food you mentioned someone was there between 2018-2019) Hanging pictures of the royal family in houses like this mostly indicates that the owner was a politician. Great video.
the instrument hanging on the coat rack is a powder horn. Used to load black powder riffles
I’m always afraid, when I see a video of exploration like this one, that you are basically making a list of things to take for burglars. How easy it is for them to locate the place and find the valuables.
The tapestry on door is arabic language ,La illahailallah Muhammadan rasulullah,it means There's no God except Allah,and Muhammad the messenger of Allah (i'm sorry if theres little bit make a mistake for translate 😊)

Curiosos documentários.😉🤔😳🇧🇷 Impressionante, qtos objetos, brinquedos, móveis, nestes castelos abandonados, e qtas pessoas não tem nada. E muito triste ver abandonos, tudo nessa vida tem valor. O Sr. Galois, (Luxemburguesa), faleceu ao 64 anos, acho q foi cedo, ao construir um império desse...

Wow. I bet that clock at 24:42 is worth something...I want that bed with the built in stereo...This was interesting. Thanks Maureno....I missed Remone...
We had beds like that in the late 70's. They stopped making due to thinking that all the electricity was causing brain tumors.
😆 lol
In front of the window where you found some scent container, it is incense burner. Use to burn the agarwood for room fragrance
