Hi everyone! I am Christian Romero, the principal modeler and animator for this video. I'm incredibly excited to have worked on this; it was a really challenging video, and the first time I have worked on something of this scale. I'm really hoping I get to work on more videos like this. I'm going to the University of Connecticut this coming Fall to pursue a Master of Fine Arts, because I want to learn all I can both about 3D art and cultural preservation/restoration efforts. While I applied to UConn before I was offered a chance to freelance with K&G, it's a very happy coincidence that I got to work on a project that explicitly ties my skills in 3D with my passion for history and culture. I certainly hope to carry this passion going forward. This is also the first time I've worked on something that'll potentially get this many eyeballs on it, so I'm really excited to read all your comments.

It'd have been neat to see stuff from the Americas, since the original list was made before the two landmass made contact. Texcotzinco is a incredible Aztec palace/garden that's sadly obscure and would be an excellent choice: This was the royal retreat for rulers of the city of Texcoco, the second most powerful Aztec city after Tenochtitlan, and was engineered by Nezahualcoyotl, the city's most famous king: Texcotzinco was located on a hill, with a palace on the summit, a series of bathes and shrines, and a series of botanical gardens with different sections mimicking different Mexican biomes at the base. It sourced water from a spring over 5 miles away, with the aquaduct that brought it raising 150 feet off the ground in some spots. The aquaduct brought water to a series of basins and channels on an adjacent hills to control the water's flow rate, then the aquaduct passing over the gorge between the hills, and forming a circular circuit around the Texcotzinco hill itself, with the water flowing through the shrines and their displays with statues and painted frescos, as well as the bathes, before finally forming artificial waterfalls to water the gardens below. Fernando Ixtlilxochitl, a descendent of Texcoca royalty, from the late 16th/early 17th century decades/a century after the conquest writes about the site: "These parks and gardens were adorned with rich and sumptuously ornamented alcazars (summerhouses) with their fountains, their irrigation channels, their canals, their lakes and their bathing-places and wonderful mazes, where he had had a great variety of flowers planted and trees of all kinds, foreign and brought from distant parts... and the water intended for the fountains, pools and channels for watering the flowers and trees in this park came from its spring: to bring it, it had been necessary to build strong, high, cemented walls of unbelievable size, going from one mountain to the other with an aqueduct on top which came out at the highest part of the park. The water gathered first in a reservoir beautified with historical bas-reliefs, and from there it flowed via two main canals (to north and south), running through the gardens and filling basins, where sculptured stelae were reflected in the surface. Coming out of one of these basins, the water ‘leapt and dashed itself to pieces on the rocks, falling into a garden planted with all the scented flowers of the Hot Lands, and in this garden it seemed to rain, so very violently was the water shattered upon these rocks. Beyond this garden there were the bathing-places, cut in the living rock... The whole of the rest of this park was planted, as I have said, with all kinds of trees and scented flowers, and there were all kinds of birds apart from those that the king had brought from various parts in cages: all these birds sang harmoniously and to such degree that one could not hear oneself speak" There's plenty of other options, too: Machu Picchu is an obvious one (less known is the adjacent mountain of Huayna Picchu, which towers over Machu and has the entire summit converted into a terraced complex); Tenochtitlan in general as an entire city could quality,; the Great Pyramid of Cholula; Tikal's various water mangement systems; Teotihuacan's pyramids or urban sprawl; Cahokia, Pueblo Bontio, Chan Chan, Pumapunku/Tiwanku, Caral, etc. If you do ever wanna do wonders from the Americas, or more stuff on Mesoamerica in general, I'd love to help out: I believe we even discussed that years ago!

And you’re also right on that the “ancient americas” lasted quite a while until the fall of the Aztecs. But the ancient world and the ancient americas are two very distinct things that aren’t as a whole very related due to the ancient americas lasting far longer than the ancient world. Because compared to the Old World, the New World went through very little revolutionary changes during the same period of time. So something that was built in the ancient americas, doesn’t translate to it being built in the ancient world, (ie Aztecs, Inca).

@@mastrammeena328 God yeah, this was more work than I initially expected, especially since modeling the wonders in a rough format took a fraction of the time next to composing the scenes. The hard truth is that there is no easy answer to becoming good at a skill, besides dedicating a lot of hours to working on it. And what worked for me may not work for you. That said, what helped me to learn 3D modeling was having specific goals in mind - something I wanted to make which I was motivated enough to see through to the end. I learned 3D art in college, but I learned Blender - the current program I use - outside of uni because I had a couple projects I wanted to bring to reality. Even if not all of them came to fruition, just being able to work on them and try to problem solve to get them to how I wanted them taught me a lot. You really do learn a lot just by doing. If you would like KZread tutorials to help guide you, I wholeheartedly recommend Sebastian Lague, Grant Abbitt, and Ian Hubert. Ian especially is great at breaking down how to do seemingly complex scenes with as little effort as possible. I hope this helps man, this stuff definitely takes a lot to learn but it is very rewarding if you can get past the learning curve.

If you like, there are loads of shows on KZread of older homes being redone by ambitious younger folks in China. Sadly, many of them just get heavy equipment in, demolish a lot and throw most away. Many just take some of the materials and reuse them in new ways, but very few actually rebuild and fix things the way they originally were. Makes you think of what has happened everywhere all this time.

Regarding Petra which i personally visited, at the time it was built the area was not as dry as it's today. The site was gradually destroyed by a combination of climate change (end of Roman warm period) and more importantly land mismanagement, eapecially during early caliphate. This allowed nomads to take control of the region and gradually shifting the trade routes to other locations (trade shifted gradually to Suez-Cairo route or Arabia-Iraq-Antiochia route along the Euphrates, Incense road on which Petra sat was mostly abandoned, Sea road was used mostly for military traffic and it's settlements dwindled by the appearance of malarial swamps)

Thank you for that explanation! I genuinely did not know that. I figured the city was oasis-like which is why I modeled it with all those trees (esp. based on the references I saw), but I did not know that specific point.

Why thank you, you are also excellent

Great Video @Kings and Generals. Can you guys tell me what the music is when talking about the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa??

Awesome

Great videos! Would like to see a documentary of the Haitian revolution which was an epic war. I think you would make it even more epic. Also the muslim conquest of Spain will also be a epic one to watch.

You should have included ellora caves specially kailasha temple

love this chanel

You missed the Kanishka Stupa of India (second tallest building of the world at the time), and the Mauryan Imperial Palace at Pataliputra

I don’t know about you guys but I would add the Hagia Sophia as “the last of the ancient wonders, the first of the modern”. Since many historians, myself included, put the end of the classical age along side the fall of Western Rome.

Nice video

The megalithic temples in Malta should be on this list.

It was be amazing to be able to see all the great things as they were at their best.. so sad most armies that defeated another destroyed all of their great statues, art, and books with so much knowledge and history

How can u miss The Kailasa Temple biggest monolithic structure.

Make part 3

Talk about Chaco Canyon and the people's cosmology expressed through their architecture aligned with solstaces

I was waiting for the colosseum

Nice

More, more, more!

All in due time, my friend, all in due time. :)

I loved going to Petra. You walk through the canyon following ancient aquaducts and then you glimpse the treasury building. Absolutely stunning. Then you breath in and smell... you look to the left, and there's a tourist hut with a dozen chemical toilets and a further dozen camels! 😂
