@@VicStefanu Awesome footage! Would you allow me to use silent portions of this footage in an upcoming series I am doing on the crusades? My guest is going to be Dr. Latham, and I'd happily provide attribution. Thanks for your time and stay well ~ Nick

I would LOVE your learned opinion- in what ways Did the Crusaders benefit civilization? what would a Crusader think of the current 'Trojan Horse' of ' muslim refugees' flooding the Europe they died protecting?
Hi Kate, these are subjects that require hours and hours of discussion and debates.. In my video, I said that I enjoyed exploring crusader castles from a historical perspective.. As a Byzantine Empire historian, let's do not forget that the crusaders destroyed the capital of Constantinople in 1204AD (the 4th crusade), a christian city...
Vic, just stumbled upon your channel and love your excitement, enthusiasm and detailed information in your videos. Might I recommend other cities in Lebanon you would love as a Roman/Byzantine Historian Tyre (Sur) is amazing. Sidon has some good sites too. Baalbek is a must And on a separate occasion i encourage you to go to mount Lebanon villages and enjoy the scenery, you will still find roman and crusader sites up there too. Anyways keep up the great work, enjoy your time in Lebanon and thank you for giving our country this good exposure
Thanks again - as always Vic !!! ... do so appreciate you sharing your gorgeous Trips!! and on this one you were in Harm's way... woosh!!! { I did NOT know there is a Tripoli in Libya as well as Lebanon! ] -- how interesting that NOW Muslims are currently turning Christian churches into mosques and THEN Crusaders turned mosques into Chapels...
nice video its good to see someone speaking abt my country 's heritage in a gd way :D if by any chance u need any help for further videos in Lebanon don't hesitate to ask will be more then glad to help u , and there is lots of army around the castle cause its a red zone and the castle used to be a barracks fo the Lebanese army I dono I its still like that now in the parts u can get to ...
Hi and thank you for viewing my videos and for your comments. The castle was full of army and police all around, and the soldiers have converted part of the castle and they sleep there.. they were very friendly however (I was the only one there)... the only scary part was my walk from the Connexion bus station to the castle, thankfully I did not get lost..
The Crusaders built the Citadel of Tripoli in the early twelfth century during the siege of the city, and made it the center of their military campaigns. The Mamluks burned this castle in 1289 AD, then it was rebuilt between 1307 and 1308 during the reign of Prince Esendemir Korgi, the ruler of the city at that time, and it was restored in 1521 AD during the reign of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. At the end of the Ottoman rule, the Turks turned it into a prison. The Citadel of Tripoli is an Arab fortress in foundation and location, considering that the companion leader Sufyan bin Mujib Al-Azdi was the one who founded the first Arab fortress in the location on which the citadel is based.
Hello my friend, thank you for these interesting comments and information! 😊😊I will never forget my bus trip from Beirut to Tripoli and the long walk up to the castle!!
With your videos, Vic, I am able to see places that I know I wont ever be able to visit. Though my next stop next year is Poland again, then Italy, then Croatia. question : isn't Lebanon a bit of a difficult country to visit because of the current wars in the reign?
Hi Megan and thank you for viewing my videos. There is no war going on, currently, in Lebanon and there has been peace since 1990. I avoided the southern part of the country because of the presence of Hezbollah, so as long you avoid that area, everything should be fine..
oh I should have asked the question differently, how much does the war in Syria effect the security situation in Lebanon, as you said there is a large army presence in certain area. - There is so much history in the middle east, sadly history is being destroyed now in that region.
hello vic,i am from south lebanon, currently in minsk/belarus,i feel really sorry you think that in south lebanon is dangerous,it isnt at all,nothing can happend there and there way more beautifull places and there is also another crusader castle near my village houla/dubayeh
superb...great video !thnk Vic...(put ur hat on!;) lol...).... are u camel riding now?or resting with the GREEK goddess?take care !;) Neptune greetings from ur tvl shadow;)!
lol... No camel rides for me... I visited the Pyramids in Cairo (Egypt) and they were chasing me all day for a ride.. I have never been on a camel and never intend to go on one...lol... Hello from a very hot city!!
I know there is an area where they say there was a crusaders church and castle but it's still hidden underneath the land. And not many people know about it or the exact place.
Nice video.. i wish that you asked any Tripolian to explain more about the castle U missed about 97% of the knowledge of the castle and you gave a bit wrong facts. For example those marbles you said its from Outomman Empire Era..Its not.. those were dislocated Temporary from old soak to rebuild later when the river flooded. But the civil war ruined the rebuilding. You cant be lost in Tripoli. Most of teh ppl there they speak english. ANd if you asked anyone they would lovetohelp you eventake you themself to anywhere you want.
Your videos are truly awesome. It's great that you travel around the world and follow your dreams. Keep going!
Thank you for your wonderful comments my friend!!
