- The Zapotecs had a very complex system of irrigation related to the blessings of the Oaxaca valley, which allowed them to grow one of the most amazing trees on the planet earth! Join me in Hierve el Agua and Tule as I explain some of the nuances of this agricultural system.
Your knowledge on Mesoamerica is impressive! I look forward to your next upload!
These videos make us feel like we're there walking along with the narrator.
Good!
this was my favorite so far, loved this visit for you
Bravo to the ancestors who manipulated the flow of the water..I would have loved to have been one of the people splashing about the mineral water.
In a world where we are practically forbidden to explore what you're doing is a service to those with inquisitive minds about our realm. Keep going.
I mean, yes exactly, that's what I like to do, and what I want to share
Brilliant !
I’ve been to the one in Turkey, Pamukkale, it was truly incredible to experience.
It has some ancient ruins too, right?
The Mixes in the mountains northeast of the Tlacolula valley have a myth of “el Rey Condoy” who was their king and one day decided to wander the world. He used a walking stick in his trekking. In El Caballito Blanco there is a petroglyph said to be left there by Rey Condoy to let everyone know they were entering Mixe lands. In Santa Maria del Tule, as he wandered, he stuck the walking stick in the ground and from that grew the tree that is now the big tourist attraction
I think I have seen it! There is a big symbol of a tree painted on the right side of the road which leads to Yagul.
Do you know when these springs stopped being used for irrigation?
There are still fields at the bottom of the valley so I suspect some are still in use!
