Did you pay David Attenborough for his voice, or are you just stealing it with AI?
Thanks for including Shibam.
On the lighthouse: the image used is hebrew. My understanding is that it was an inscription in latin script using an antiquarian version of Basque. Is this correct? If so I think be careful to use relevant stock photos in a video supposed to be factually informative.
Finally im suprosed you missed out the Attaturk deconcration of the hagia sophia. It was conevrted back to a mosque only very recently and so remains a symbol at the heart of competing visions for the modern turkish state which complements the point you made.
When I was in elementary school they took us to visit the Castel sant'angelo as a day trip, and again 2 years later. unforgettable experience. They also took us to visit the Vatican but we as kids didn't know yet how important all that history was.
As a Roman I'm very happy to see these ancient Roman structures still used today and preserved. I want to add that there are hundreds of Roman structures all over the empire that are still in mixed use today, but you could only include the most famous in your clips. thank you for the fine documentary
In the german city of Trier, is a building known as "Basilica of Constantin" today its a protestant church, (the oldest building used as a church) but is was build in 300AD as the emperors audiorium (the entrence to his palace) While heavy bombed during WWII, The Walls and the Apse are still the original roman and in some places still have the original paint.
How about Mecca? Or Dome of the Rock?
