I love that I'm 51 years old and still learning new stuff! I swear this is the best channel on this entire platform!
It sure is.
Absolutely! I'm 50, I've learnt tonnes from this channel and it's often a starting point for looking for more information about something too for me ❤
This is usually the only channel I watch, even I'm 13
This channel should be nicknamed: “Be amazed history”! 😂
I feel the same way and I’m 56 years old. I guess its true you never stop learning 😊
Regarding the wells in Portugal, I've heard one story that says the wells are a symbol of a person's growth. You enter the first well, which is unfinished and raw and follow the tunnels beneath until you reach the Inverted Well, climbing up to the top, as a complete person. It is meant to represent how a person begins as a raw, unfinished thing, but as we progress through our lives, obtaining knowledge, meeting other people, learning and growing, we finish our journey as a complete, tall individual. I think the 9 levels also represent the steps of growth itself, each level standing for one thing that helps us take steps to the next level, but I do not remember which represent which.
Nice story but just a story.
@@desperadox7565 Not really, I live next to the Quinta and I know a few of the Templar Order that often use the Wells as initiation ceremonies. So not a story, but the actual thing.
@@Raiigen They may call themselves Knights but that doesn't really mean anything. I very much doubt that they know more about the original lore than anybody else.
@@desperadox7565 People who learn, study, and follow the ways of the old, could tell you many fascinating stories of different parts you wouldn't even heard of, but exist in written form, but sure, if that's how you feel, not gonna waste my time trying to convince you otherwise.
@@Raiigen Sadly the real "ways of the old" are forgotten and destroyed, mostly by the church and most "ancient lore" is stuff people made up in more recent times like the 1800s.
I really like your way of speaking. It's clear and easy for me to follow. The imagery is at a superb tempo, great amount of real photos, "cartoon" images, dry sense of humor and great information. You are very nice to listen to. Thank you fir the channel! Greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱 ♥️
Couldn't agree more! (Also from the Netherlands, btw!)
Awesome, thank you!
@@OneKnifeYeHand zwaai! 👋🏻
I agree!
This Canadian agrees.
Thank you for covering the restoration project in Salamanca. I’ve explained this one to many times. I wish more sites were this honest.
Did Many Times not believe you?
That cathedral with the modern art being added as part of a restoration project is actually a pretty neat idea. Imagine if we deliberately did something like that, like set up a plain stone obelisk somewhere, and then every month a carving of particular significance to that month is added to the obelisk. As months stretch to years and the obelisk is gradually filled up with carvings, it would really tell a story.
That's a good idea except I think it would fill up pretty quickly if it were done monthly, not to mention strain the meaning of the term 'significant.' Annually would be more realistic.
There's one where one of the statues is a darth vader mask.
@@chaos.cornerthat’s Washington National cathedral in DC 🤗
This was excellent. I'm very glad that you didn't leave the "mysterious" or "alien" explanations as the more likely, but instead praised the craftsmanship of the ancient (or recent) human builders.
You forgot to mention that the stairs in the Loretta chapel in Santa Fe NM has no metal fasteners or nails of any kind
well that is not as astounding as you wanna believe it is: it actually used to be the norm in Europe for furnitures ;) my 25+ yo custom made desk has no metal whatsoever ... and you could dance on it without breaking it ^ç^
I feel like an amazed little kid when I watch these videos, always bringing me knowledge that I didn't know.
Truuuu

The last one, in Wiesbaden, I'm almost positive it's pronounced veesbaden. I lived there for 6 months and never heard it pronounced any other way. The architecture there other than the manholes is gorgeous. They have the remnants of a wall built by the Romans on one side of the city and many more buildings that had been there for a really long time.
It definitely is pronounced "veesbaden". German reading-rules are rather strict: "ie" is usually a long (german) i, like the english "ee", whereas "ei" is - with a few exeptions - pronounced like the english "i". It's not really hard to memorize... And since confusing the two can change the meaning of the word dramatically - in this case "weise" (wise) and "Wiese" (lawn) - it is advisable to be a bit more careful. I always feel sorry for Wiener sausages being called "Weiner" (the crying ones).
@@penelopegoldberry8305 thanks for expanding on my reply. I didn't think about the fact of things having a different meaning if you switched the i and e around. Each time he said it wrong I would say it right, like anyone could hear me, haha. I just tried to say it politely so that I wasn't being rude.
@@sansa357 Well, I sincerely hope that my explanation didn't come over as rude. This was definitely not my intention! There are actually quite a lot of words that change their meaning if mispronounced or misspelled: "deine" (yours) and "diene" (serve); "meine" (mine) and "Miene" (face, look); "Leibe" and "Liebe"; "Leid" and "Lied"... Texts might just lose all their meaning if those two letters were juggled around all the time. I don't want to be mean, I want to help and if I can save only one person from falling into those traps, I'd be content.
@@sansa357 he has a habit of pronouncing things wrong and I don't understand it, if you're going to research something and educate people on it the least you can do is learn the pronunciation. Oh well
Yeah, I agree. If you're going to do these videos, you need to know what you're talking about.
Definitely amazed at the spiral staircase "stairway to heaven" being a mill worker, it's absolutely stunning to even know that such a creation exists.
Subbed. Ty.
Agreed. I do decorative metal railings and stairs. That double 360° is amazing.
Round manholes *are* practical and carefully thought out, though, even to their weight, which is purposefully heavy so as to keep unauthorized people (mostly) out without using locks. The round shape not only makes it easy to roll to the side once you've levered it upright, it is impossible for it to fit down the shaft, meaning it cannot fall in a worker down there. And being round it also means that it has no "right way 'round" and can be replaced in any alignment, so just however it lands, rather than having to match up corners or what. Having said all that, the German one is not only beautiful, going up and down spiral stairs must be a lot easier than using a ladder, especially with arms and belts full of tools! Both are very practical; just coming at it from different directions.
Master Carpenter Johann Hadwiger , built the Loretto Chapel stairs back in 1878. His grandson Oscar had Johann's original sketches as evidence to prove this, but Oscar sadly died in 1980, and the evidence has become lost.
"Hey Google, what's the difference between a spiral staircase and a helical staircase?"
My Mom grew up in Wiesbaden, and pronounced it VEESBADEN. In German, when two vowels go walking, the second does the talking.
I love that, and am going to remember it when I'm trying to pronounce German words. 😊
@@Terri_MacKay Glad I could help!
That doesn't really apply to ie in German though... sure in English that's a double e sound but that's just a long i in German. E in German makes the sound of the English e in "Tent" or "Effervescent"
Yet another fascinating Praveen. How they knew astrology and the moons working really blows me away and the stone chains are a marvel within them selves. Always love your videos and really makes me so want to visit India and see the beauty with my own eyes. Thank you sir 🙏
So called “Chinese pyramids” are actually built by ancient Koreans. Communist Chinese governments started to dig the Korean pyramids during 1970’s but they found archeological artifacts that indicate all the artifacts that came out of them were of Korean cultural roots, so they stopped the process and covered up their very existence, for the fear that that particular territory would be known to the world as ancient Korean territories.
31:01
I am a Korean, and l know that aincent Korean look nothing like pyramid.
Africans built it!!! Black People was the first humans on the planet!!!!! Boom 💥💥💥💥😅
Black Asians just like Black Russians
@@briswanson469 Fanatics that fill the comments with their bullsh*t are not appreciated.
I actually went to the gothic building in Portugal but had no idea about most of the things you mentioned as they were not mentioned on-site. Many thanks for another interesting video 💚
Wow. What a missed opportunity of the site: to not provide logical theories or facts is....disappointing.
One thing you didn't mention about the stairway was the wood that it's made out of. There are no trees of that type in the area.
No trees of that type in the area? Is that none now, or none ever?
@@reachandler3655ooooo, great question!
@@reachandler3655 Apparently, it was found that the staircase is made from "a type of spruce which is not native to New Mexico and scientifically not identified anywhere else in the world" - this I quote from the Wikipedia article on the Loretto Chapel (title of article).
When KZhead shoves their ADS down your throat, remember this neat little trick: Mute your TV, or other device, and look away for 15 seconds. (Five seconds if skippable). They can force their unskippable ads on you every three minutes, but they can't make you watch and listen to them.
😂
Love everything you do for us. Your videos are very informative, usually well researched, and then of course are the absolutely hilarious 😂 ones that brighten up even the gloomy est day/night. Thank you for bringing us all this wonderful content.
You are so welcome! Thanks for tuning in 💚
the trees planted on the burial mounds seem more like an attempt to slow soil erosion and prevent landslides than any kind of cover-up
I think this will remain my favorite video of all! Fascinating and beautiful. I AM amazed!
These ancient artefacts are so amazing also your videos i’m glad you spend all this time to make this for all of us I am so gladThanks be amazing 😊❤
The grounds of the Quinta di regaliera is one of my favorite things I have ever seen. I recommend it to anyone traveling near there.
There are miniature versions of the Antarctic pyramids along a hiking trail close to where I live. They look like huge building blocks; in fact, I've dubbed them "The Pyramids."
Another great content as usual , Be Amazed always surprise me with a new content and I'm hyping for the new video
how did you watch the 30 min video in 2 min and comment this? lol
I live in London and I've never noticed the noses before, definitely going to be looking out for them now!
The secret chamber behind Rushmore is depicted in the 2nd season of the Buck Rogers TV show in an episode where Buck is accused of having been complicit in the nuclear attacks that devastated Earth, and his payment had been the long space mission so he would be away from Earth during the war - which is absurd since that means the leaders of the attacks would be left behind when their lackey was "safe" in space. The secret doorway led to a vast array of chambers, including a version of the Oval Office apparently meant to serve as a doomsday shelter and center for continuing Executive Branch function.
If the floating pillar has a small section at the bottom that’s attached, how are people able to pass cloth/blankets entirely underneath it?
I can't get enough of this channel ❤
I love your voice over, very delicate yet forceful. 😊
U Bri have a great appreciation for VOICE! Hopefully U have read Frank Herbert's DUNE series !! Perhaps more than once!!!! 😊
Also a fun fact about the Loretto spiral stair case in New Mexico was built with no nails.
The Mix Playlists for Be Amazed is all I tend to have on play during those times I just want facts blastin' in the background. Though also sometimes it helps me getting some mid-day naps. :P
He can never cease to amaze me. Keep up the good work!
Knowing the internet, I'm not sure I believe all the stories associated with these buildings. But I do appreciate how much content you have with most of your topics. Keep up the good work. 👍
If anyone is interested, Predjamski grad is a literal translation of "castle in front of the cave" And there is a legend in Slovenia that Erasmus died in the toilet when his "servant" told his enemies by lighting a torch when he was on a toalete and they hit him with a cannon.
Love your content ❤
As for that house numbers: In Wrocław (Poland) there are neighbourhoods which don't really follow number patterns. You pass number 1, 2, 3... and then get to 14 and then 32, 31, 30 all th way to 15 at the end. It's one of simplest examples.
Why? 😂 that must make life harder in vain!
@@ingridakerblom7577 My theory is that people don't want to be found.
I don't think I've ever found an example of this that wasn't explained by new construction. Buildings burn. Some get rebuilt, some don't. Villages grow into cities into metropolises (metropoli?). Streets and thoroughfares swell and grow extra lanes. Given all that, losing the original numeric pattern is pretty understandable.
If I remember correctly, the Loretto staircase did not have the handrail at first. It had to be added later, as the nuns didn’t feel secure without it.
Okay but Amazing didn't have to have the little sound of window being tapped on when their avatar was tapping it's teacher stick on that Witch Window,and yet there it is. This kind of playfulness gives me great hope, feeling of playfulness and inspiration. I hope we all can take the extra step to be silly whilst tackling serious stuff.
I live in the midwest, we have a house in my town near where I live that has a witch window. It's just floating up there. There's no addition or anything. There must be some reason for it.
I must a a German speaker and having lived in Hessen Germany. Wiesbaden is pronounced English phonetics (Vees-bahden) close the letters 'ie' denote an 'ee' sound. 'Ei' denotes an "aye' sound. Similarly 'eu' is 'oye' ie. DEUTSCHLAND 'Doy-tsch- lahnd'. Hope that helps.
I learn so much with these videos!
I love your channel!
Graham Hancock has made a TV series looking into the possibility of a lost civilization that would explain some of the unusual construction of our ancestors.
The small hole next to the tail is usually called the sphincter, so you found the Sphinx's sphincter.
better wear a hazmat suit exploring that hole then, I guess?
@@BeAmazed😂😂
Being a Indian, I was really proud of our Floating Pillar!
I fell asleep while watching you, why is your voice so soothing?? 😂
One of my favorite is the nuns staircase!
If that pillar is touching the ground, how were they able to slip a thin cloth underneath?
Me too! Maybe due to the seasons? Colder weather would make it contract and you could possibly pass a cloth underneath it at that time. Idk, just throwing ideas around here.
Oh this was brilliant. There is so much quirky in the UK 😊🤣🤣 I have to say that the ice-cream carving on the cathedral looked rather like something rude the medieval stone cutters would carve 😉 I love the medieval carvings in the UK churches, some are hilarious and some really rude! Some are stone, some carved wood for bench ends and misericords. Some probably too naughty for a family channel like Be Amazed 😂😂😂
Love your your videos
this is one of the few channels whose comment section are not full of bots (most of the time) Good vid also
I know you are correct.
Great vid😊
The door way behind Mount Rushmore can be a door way to a plumer base in Ben 10 😂
Yeah 😂
Yeah
It is nice to see a Ben 10 fan here.
I am from Bolivia and there's this legend that exists called the secret of the Amauta in which it is told that people used to know the secret recipe for making rocks and that said Amauta was the last man to know that secret but didn't pass it down because the secret had to be passed from father to son and he had a girl. Therefore he died with the secret.
Woo hoo! I got the reason why the Witch Windows looked like that before you gave the answer! Hey, it’s the little things 🤷🏻♀️
Witch windows are also in New Hampshire as well, I live in northern New Hampshire and there are a few houses in my town with them (although it's a quick drive to Vermont from my town).
Naw, my Guitar Hero band name is Death & Taxes. Our debut album is called "Inevitable" lol
I was falling asleep there, thought it read "Pajama Castle" - Sneak in and sneak out, hands up and hands down, you're in a cannon- tell me what you gonna do now! 😂
You guys are the most interesting people I have ever seen
Watching KZhead video's for hours a day is making me sound smart at parties. Wait I don't go to parties🤔
My theory for vettuvan coil is that the people tried to make another version or replica of the temple 800miles away but unfinished
can we take a moment to appreciate that he breathesevery video?
🤦
I’ve been to Mount Rushmore What amazing architecture although looks surprisingly small compared to the crazy horse statue
The nose artist is my new hero.✊
Pomapunku is actually made by humans they use a plant or a few plants and made a concoction that made the rock really soft and once its washed off it will harden again and the Egyptians also did something like it also
Modern humans underestimated the ancients way too much. Pyramids built by aliens? Pumapunku built by giants? This conspirators have taken too much dosage. All of this are created by the people at those time. Nothing but hard labor and insane amount of mathematical skills that can be compared to modern math. Again, modern humans think way too low to our ancestors.
6:42 i never thought id see my hometown on a big YT channel😂 I never got a chance to go tho💀
Yo this video was great !
The "ancient astronaut" sculpture is on the National Cathedral in Washington DC. Also there you can see Darth Vader as s water downspout.
The Templars didn't disband, they were persecuted and wiped out by the french king Philippe le Bel in the early 1300.
I love your channal so much it has cool facts a little dirty jokes and its a relly good channel maby the vary beast ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
24:00 I watched a cartoon as a kid and this doorway was in the cartoon. It was on tv on Cartoon Network.
No Abu simbel? A temple carved into a cliff face in Egypt. Worth a mention!
There isn't a question on whether the guide stones will ever be rebuilt. They won't. There is so much that didn't get covered in this video about them. From the strange way they were constructed, how they got financed, the fact they were blown up then completely torn down the same FREAKING DAY (even those portions undamaged by the explosion). No preserving the crime scene... no preserving evidence. And most baffling of all? No Federal investigation of the incident. The fact that an explosive was used should have automatically triggered investigations by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and *EXPLOSIVES* and the FBI. You sure would think they would be interested in finding out who was out perpetrating a crime against the NWO or who at the very least was out joy-bombing and how had they had gotten access to explosives!? As the site was being maintained by the county, it made it destruction of building with a minimum sentence of two decades. The fact that explosives were used and it could be construed as a hate crime, possibly made it a Federal crime. But did the ATF or FBI care to investigate? Naw, they were too busy walking over the constitutional rights of Americans to even notice. The land was quietly transferred back to the original owner and the granite given away, finishing the sweeping of the entire incident under the rug.
Excellent
Oh those miniature houses gave me anxiety, I felt claustrophobic.
Fun fact about the sphinx: if you look at the head, the head is too small and looks like it was shrunk down, the body is also not that of a lion, it’s the body of a jackal. Many believe the sphinx was originally a giant jackal statue which would make sense considering the body and size of the head. Also, the sphinx is eroded away. Look at the body and the walls around it, it takes thousands of years to get that level of erosion, making the sphinx thousands of years older than thought. Also, there are ancient carvings in the americas that date back to the time of the pyramids or before, that show ancient astronauts. The most famous of which is mayan.
@@_Kyokan___ that is a theory, yes. Supposedly a Pharaoh put his face on the sphinx, taking and claiming another's work as his own, a common thing back then as many temples and structures "recycled" older ones. I say "recycled" as most were demolished to erase the past pharaohs for whatever reason, usually political, and make the current one seem more better. At one point the sphinx was buried and only the head remained visible, where a young pharaoh slept under it and it talked to him, telling him to dig its body out of the sand and it would make him king, true to its word the pharaoh did become the next king and he built the Giza complex to honor the sphinx. that least that's what the tablet in between the sphinx's paws says.
More accurately, there are Mayan glyphs that resemble astronauts as well as aircraft and other images of modern tech. Despite their appearance, though, and to the chagrin of many conspiracy theorists, they are chiseled carvings of animals and deities they held sacred... At least, that's what they told me in a dream, anyway.
@@neepsmcfly4176 that’s what archeologists are saying. The carvings are supposed to be animals and the like. The thing that a lot of people who believe in the ancient astronaut theory say does seem to hold water. A lot of Mayan carving do seem to show space suits masks or similar artifacts. That and there are some artifacts that date back well beyond what science claims they should have been.
3:49 I’ve noticed this man is in a lot of the Be Amazed videos. I wonder if he’s the narrator of these videos.
17:51 you forgot to mention that the wood it is made of is not a know type of wood on earth, so not sure how it has a “earthly” explanation
I can’t stop laughing about how Wiesbaden is pronounced here, since it’s called Weesbaden like if I would try to spell it like you pronounce it….the “ie” is simply like a German “i” pronouncationwise…..we use “ie” in german for long spoken “i” sounds and more or less always pronounce it like the English letter “e”…so the “Wie” at the beginning of the word sounds like if you would say “Wee” or “we” but it sounds so funny and kinda cool like you say it here😂😂😂
Man hole covers are nice. In the city I live sometimes the manhole covers will pop. It is very dangerous.
I saw witch windows on a house in central New Hampshire , they look cool.
I have been to Predjama castle it is amazing
Identifying the Antarctic pyramids as a natural occurrence was the smartest thing ever done. We do not want to wake the Old Ones.
I know I'm probably the only one, but it's killing me. When you say grab your chisel and flash to the man, he's holding a sledgehammer, and a cats paw (sheep's hoove), a carpenter's tool to pull nails I feel better.
@caseyguilliams4977 That's alright Casey, sometimes I gotta do the same. 😉
This feels more like "Architecture Conspiracy Theories".
At 17:24 ..I was in Santa Fe and visited these stairs...I could not figure out the support structure...
How hard is it to check the pronunciation of foreign places like Wiesbaden?
The Westerstraat houses are so cute! 😊
I tell you, the puns are getting cheasier, and I love it!
Robert Christian put into an anagram solver has some interesting word choices…😮
Please don't confuse the movie depiction of the Knights Templar with the english knights during the same time. The english had also the big red cross on a white background, as the english flag looks the same. The templars' cross was smaler, and some of them had black and white shields. But then again, there were many different branches and symbols change over time. (I ONLY talked about the high medival petriod. NOT the late one!) For those, who want to debunk the flag one that: UK's flag "Union Jack" is build from the flags of Schottland (white X, blue back) England (said red cross oa white back) and Ireland (red X, white back)
Good GAWD!! 😮! Intentions of HUMANS is complicated 😕! 😐
THANK YOU FOR REMOVING THE SCREAMING AUDIO OUT OF YOUR CARTOON GUY, AT THE BEGINNING
Predjama Castle looks like where that is the place where the kidnapper monks lived and kept those whom they kidnapped, and where Jackie Chan rescued the kidnapped people in the film Armour of God II. Is this the same place?
even if they do find anything of importance at these places, THEY AINT TELLIN YOU ABOUT IT
The tunnels underneath the sphinx are pretty cool but very vast in length. Saw an episode of Don Wildmans Cities of the underworld where he was granted unprecedented access to these vast tunnels.
I do hope that they put on the chest of that astronaut sculpture that it was 1992 when it was made so that way there's no possible way that in the future no one confuses it again.
We have The Sisters of Loretto in the outskirts of Warsaw called Rembertów (basically, a district)
29:32 "Wiesbaden" is spoken "Veesbaden"! Greetings from Germany!
