  • Santa Severa Castle is built upon a massive megalithic foundation that could date back thousands of years. Mighty polygonal walls and a stone platform which both stretch out into the sea, now partly submerged, dominate the site. Later Etruscan, Roman and Medieval structures can be found there now, with artifacts and treasures in the onsite museum. All along the western edge of Italy, dozens of cyclopean constructions can be found, which in tradition were built by the mysterious Pelasgians, who were connected with ancient Greece. The style is identical to ancient Peru and other parts of the world. Gold tablets were found in the area which have Canaanite script, and nearby dating of similar walls has found some of them go as far back at 7000 years. Includes exclusive aerial footage.

    Wow - it is really interesting to see the different eras of construction techniques. I'm not accustomed to the techniques used in south America but, with my heritage being European, the roads, walls, and even the layout designs are more apparent to me and allow me to see the differences between eras more clearly.
    You guys must have so much fun on all these trips. I'm grateful you get to adventure full time (or so it seems). I'm grateful to see all these wonderful places.
    Epic.

    Apart from the special skills of polygonal masonry, there IS indeed proof of giants! Here and at countless other places around the globe.
    Moreover: Some of them are still existing, on Solomon Islands and elsewhere. People are just to conditioned to think a bit outside of the box!
    Great report anyway, thank you!

    Polygonal walls go back before the Etruscans?

  • @MegalithHunter
    @MegalithHunter Před 2 lety

    It's incredible how many sites there are and how they are all incorporated into later buildings. I did notice travelling around that they aren't just limited to typical fortification lines, but seem to be in quite random locations too. Awesome footage. Gotta get me a drone, although I don't fancy my skills at flying it :)

    @Markthespark1970 Před 2 dny

    Have you seen the ancient penkalas bridge in Turkey? Those nubs are present on the megalithic stones, might be worth a look. Very similar building techniques to the estruscan examples you have here.

    What did Etruscans wear in cold weather? I have never been to Italy but everyone who has speaks of the cold temperatures in winter. Most ancient art depicts people in very summery outfits.

  • @cpt.oblivion
    @cpt.oblivion Před 2 lety

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think those walls were originally constructed under water. And if that's true and that polygonal wall was built on dry land then the water table must have been much lower which would make that wall very very ancient?

    Is it just me?? I see the polygonal.....but wheres the precision???

    • @dragonfriend6874
      @dragonfriend6874 Před 2 lety

      The precision still appears to be there. It just looks less clean than Egyptian and South American examples possibly because of weathering to the rock faces and edges. This looks like limestone which would be specifically affected by carbonic acid in the rain but more generally as well by salt crystal weathering from it's proximity to the ocean.
      Additionally, some of the polygonal walls have possibly been reconstructed. There are sections of the wall where the stones have very little space between their edges (which is what we've come to expect from polygonal structures) but higher up the wall the spaces become larger and the use of cement and filler stones is obvious. It doesn't seem unreasonable to assume that later people (Romans and medieval Italians) incorporated the ruins of the more precise polygonal walls as the base of the walls of their own structures.

    You know a skilled stone mason could easily chisel each piece to fit together by sight alone. I am an artist.. I have first hand knowledge and skills that are comparable...I suggest that with practice and talent that is a common skill. Note. I am not stone mason

    • @cpt.oblivion
      @cpt.oblivion Před 2 lety

      This Stonewall in particular Maybe, but very doubtful. To replicate the tight-fitting gigantic stone walls in Peru you could never do, especially by just eyeballing it. I could Supply you with truckloads of giant styrofoam blocks and you could still never shape them by hand to fit its tightly together as the walls in Peru and other places around the world. You could try to fine-tune the styrofoam blocks all day and you would never get them even close to what they did in Peru. Now imagine it isn't styrofoam but they're 5-ton and 10-ton stones that you're having to lift up in the air and fine-tune and set back in place and then lift up in the air again because you have to hone it some more, impossible without huge machinery and high-technology.

      Old world version of this would of been impressive for sure and I think that all what surrounds us is evidence of Earth suffering from entropy ✌️

  • @TheFirstBubbaBong
    @TheFirstBubbaBong Před 2 lety

    So my question is the obvious. Where are the rest of the structure? It was obvious to me this place is more the a few centuries BC. This was pre-Younger Dryas period. There should be stones found inland and stones that were washed back out to sea. Is this the only polygonal structure next to the ocean? Is there a map of all polygonal structures and their locations? Hugh you never leave us with answers only more question. Please stop that. 🙃So yes I'm saying the original structure was built log before the Younger Dryas and mankind has absolutely helped destroy this structure after the tsunami hit it and from the looks of it many times over.

  • @ozonespec

    Sorry not seeing anything megalithic here. The older construction is poor. I'm not seeing any precision at all. I can visualize ancient Man lifting and positioning those stones. This is not a good comparison to all the other megalithic sites around the world.
