  1. Cool video! I would love to see a video on ancient and indigenous cities as well. There are so many great topics! Indus Valley cities had advanced plumbing and sewer systems. Native American and other cities were aligned with celestial events. The Mayans created huge networks of cities from the jungle, linked by white streets and causeways that light up at night by reflecting moonlight. Cahokia being one of the largest cities in the world. The unbelievable beauty and cleanliness of Tenochtitlan. Mesopotamian, Greek, and Roman cities. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon! The oldest cities in the world. So many amazing possibilities, and you would make it so awesome!

  3. Antigua is so nice! I think I was right next to that plaza in the photo. I am remembering seeing it from across the street at ground level, so it's interesting to see the overhead shot. And now I understand the similarity in architecture among Latin American cities. In a previous video when discussing porticoes, it reminded me of Antigua. Your videos help me make all these connections and see the world in a different way now. It's so cool! I'm not even a planner or anything like that. But I love this channel.
