Leptis Magna Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Leptis Magna in Libya.
Northern Libya was once where the dramatic history Leptis Magna was created, an ancient metropolis that was the first and thus the oldest Phoenician settlement that formed part of what was later known as Tripolitania.The remains of this city are typically Roman. The second century A.D. brought new prosperity when Septimius Severus, who was born in Leptis Magna, became emperor of the Imperium Romanum. At that time monumental buildings were constructed whose beauty and size was only surpassed by those in Rome itself. The ruins of the very large Severian Basilica highlight the amazing architectural skills of the master builders of those days. The Forum was also built at the time of Septimius Severus and today it is the most imposing area in the ancient city. Artistic Medusa and Gorgon heads adorn the remains of a restored arcade in the Forum.. The city’s Amphitheatre that was once the scene of bloody gladiatorial battles and wildlife savagery, also possesses its own special ambience. Leptis Magna was an important port for the export of wild animals from Africa’s southern regions, such as elephants, lions and leopards. For many years Leptis Magna was lost to history until it was rediscovered in the twentieth century when it once again revealed much of the magic of its truly glorious past.

This reminded me of home .:. I can’t believe I spent my childhood about 30mins away from Leptis Magna. My parents used to take us there almost every weekend for picnics and swimming in clear Mediterranean Sea water. Now as an adult who lives at NYC I can say that I’ve been very lucky child !

I visited Lepcis Magna with a ship excursion and it was such a beautiful experience. We saw lots of families on the beaches jhaving picnics or just sitting together just like you describe. I will never forget that beautiful deep blue color of the sea, the unspoilt, golden sand beaches, and the sun behind. yes, you were a lucky child.
Thank you this is great work and inserting idea, it is my city: Khoms in Libya.

I lived in Libya with my family, in a village called Zavia. We used to visit Leptis Magna as a weekend treat. I loved to go there.
Libya once part of the great Roman empire now in ruins and in war.
I never knew that Libya had so much roman history

Why is this video RUINED by adverts? Can You Tube not pop them at the beginning and end of the video? By interrupting the video just anywhere is ANNOYING not attracting viewers to purchase products by seeing the adverts!!!!!

Visitate Leptis Magna, meravigliosa
_"The remains of this city are typically Roman"_ No, *some* remains are. Much of it comes from a stone age global culture that far predates the rise of Rome. Clearly the same culture that developed Baalbek in Lebanon, Petra in Jordan and Athens in Greece. All of these _first cities_ were settled for many, many millennia before the *Etruscans* were rubbed out of history by an invasion from Thrace and became the plagiarists known as the _Romans_ . The major identifiers are the amphitheatre and the 30 - 40 % of columns made from single pieces of granite. Single piece columns are typically associated with megalithic or _Old Kingdom_ Egyptian sites. They are still considered very mysterious when it comes to figuring out how they were cut, turned on some kind of enormous lathe and lifted into place. All provably Roman or Greek period architecture uses multiple pieces of stone piled on top of each other to achieve the same height. Recent theories indicate that highly acidic liquids formed as a by product of mining were used to create a red clay *_corrosive mortar_* which explains the cutting, the smoothing and the perfectly geometric carving. Neither dynastic Egypt nor the successive Greek and Roman empires had this technology.

Qué ignorante eres
Always late isn't he
he skipped maybe deliberately the main reason of leptis decline which is the vandals. They came from spain and occupied leptis and north africa for almost hundred years. They demolished the long wall around leptis and killed alot of it inhabitants. When the Arabs came they did not find any important city, that's why we do not find any battles or actions took place in this spot in the history books. Moreover, the earthquake ( Crete earthquake) in 365 AD ruined many monuments.
