      Indeed, I amongst others respect your point, however, I disagree with you on this... History, especially if our people are concerned is not to be erased.... Many people know nothing about it at all, I often spend time nuancing this story to the youth as I was just a kid at the time... Very important to educate us so we know what not to follow in future, for jonestown is a macrocosm of the larger political picture. THOSE WHO DO NOT REMEMBER THE PAST ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT!

    All the history of Jones Town is being hidden by the foliage and the trees as if to say: we don't exist anymore. When this incident happened I was in my late 20s at the time and we heard the sad news. Back in those days communication was no way near what it is today so when the news broke in Barbados, it was at the point after the Congressman Leo Ryan was killed; but prior to that we were not aware of this expedition by Jim Jones to Guyana.

    I was thinking that there may be some little relic at Jonestown (like an old building covered with moss or some dilapidated rusting farm machinery) but there is nothing there but forest. After 45 years, the jungle has reclaimed its own. Considering that all the buildings were made of wood, those have long rotted down to mulch.

    One of my aunt and my dad was stationed in jones town during that horrific time when their were in the arm force. The stories I heard from my dad an aunt was historical. As a young child growing up I lived quite a few places due to my dad being in the army force. Those was some tuff times but happy memories at the same time. It teaches me a lot about life and my hometown history from Mathewridge to the north west where the rest of my childhood roots was planted for me and my 6 siblings. Because of my childhood history and experience and the life lessons it has thought me has made me a humble, selfless caring human being and to not take life and where you come from for granted.

I came across this video within this year and i’m so grateful that someone shared this experience to take this trip to see what Jonestown is today. Although it is a very disturbing story for our fellow lost souls on this land, what has happened stays within us all. Jonestown is absolutely of my interest to share amongst those who do not know about Guyana or this horrific history. As I go every year, i’m hoping to take this trip soon!

    Thank you Denny ARD Family and team for this video. I was curious about the aftermath of this place since the massacre took place and here,you go, with such courage filming for us..
    I remember I was at school when we heard of the incident on air and we saw right above us airplanes passing above our school and they were flying kind of low . We never knew of these people inhabited our country. So that arrangement had to be between Jim Jones and the Guyana Government at that time who were PNC President Forbes Burnham .
    I have read comments here that people would like a memorial set up there,which is good in remembrance of those lost souls,men,women and children .But we need to protect and preserve our natural forest and wild life with the view of climate change .If we are to cut down more trees just for tourism then I am afraid, more trees are going to be destroyed to construct a community....just my take on this...

    Denny, Thank you once again for taking us along on another one of your fascinating and interesting journeys, but I sincerely hope that the name "Jonestown" will be removed, as that was a very dark period. From what I've seen in your pictures, the potential is there to make a super resort, using local architecture to build accomodation etc. Companies such as "Club Robinson" and "Club Mediterranee" etc.,I am sure would be interested in a collaboration with Guyana. It would provide jobs for many of the people there. I have visited these clubs and they are always located in places similar to what you have shown.

      Some people always want to rewrite history. It happened. Building a resort in place of it wouldn't change that fact. It should remain the beautiful forest that is and with the memory intact. Maybe construct a memorial where the Jonestown sign is and close the road behind it. Let all history live on. It always dies with time. In 2078, we'll be lucky to be alive to remember what happened where.😅

    Hmmm…I remember this, I’d just started at Bishops’. My dad did a study of the settlement, (think he worked for the Cooperative Development Ministry at the time)and had travelled to Jonestown and met Jones and other Temple members… He had told us that Jones had had a pet chimpanzee on the settlement. We Guyanese on the coast were oblivious to the horrific massacre in the interior… and even when we got copies of the first book about the massacre we viewed the event quite disconnectedly.I remember the People’s Temple radio broadcasts airing about 2pm during the week… Thank you for sharing.

      @@gmseasy I don’t think there were any Guyanese on the settlement🤔. There may have been a few Guyanese working at the headquarters in Georgetown. It’s likely that had there been Guyanese on the settlement, word would have gotten out sooner about Jones’s reluctance to let members leave the settlement. USA Congressman Leo Ryan went to Jonestown to investigate reports of Americans being held against their will on the settlement…that was the event that led to the catastrophe.

    I remember when this happened. No one could believe 900+ people were forced into suicide.
    Jim Jones didn't even drink the Kool-aid. He shot himself in the head.
    Pure evil happened here

    • @EmeraldJade66
      @EmeraldJade66 Před 7 měsíci

      @Cheez-it166 .... I remember when this happened too by seeing it on TV ABC News. It was Flavor-Aid mixed with cyanide that they drank. Yes they were all forced into suicide so really it was a murder suicide. My father was a former Baptist Minister/Pastor and this really affected him when it happened. After this happened, it was very hard for people especially ones who were not saved and didn't know Christ, to trust clergy of many denominations because of Jim Jones and his false teachings and evil ways. Jim Jones I believe, was not only mentally disturbed and an evil man but I feel he was possessed as well. Yes, pure evil did happen there in Jonestown. May all those poor people rest in peace for all eternity.

    Danny thanks for showing us what Jonestown is like now. I was surprised to see the sign still up. Seeing where Port Kaituma airstrip is and Jonestown, now I can make the connection where the people got shot. Well what can we say when the massacre happened, that's when people see Guyana on the map. That was so sad. Danny you took the risk going into the jungle with Captain Black Boy and his wife. Waiting to see Mathews ridge. Take care.
