Fun fact, Tikal was where they filmed parts of the original Star Wars film. It became the Rebel base at Yavin IV.

Sideprojects: Because you know, Simon needs a little something to fill the agonizing minutes between making a bazillion other shows.
@Bacopa68
Not sure if it's a Sideprojects or a Megaprojects subject but the wooden EMP test trestle in New Mexico is the heaviest wooden structure ever built. The USAF wheeled out the largest planes ever built onto this massive wooden structure to be zapped by a giant EMP simulator. The trestle was built with no metal parts. All joints were made with pegs, dowels, and nylon straps. The Trestle still stands today over forty years later

Here's a strange compliment for you. I stumbled on you channels about a year ago. Each day your posts on all your channels go onto my playlist to listen to when Im at work. People are constantly talking over the program because they're co-workers trying to work and it's the job. I think might hear half the info. the compliment is that when the big boss is on sight, he's a super smart weird history geek, and I've been able to actually add to conversations with him in the last couple of months and sound like I had a clue about the topic. Before, I pretty much just did my work quietly and didnt join any of the conversations. So you're doing an excellent job for me to be able to remember anything from your shows!
@Sevenigma777
I think Simon's new nickname should be "cable box" because he has so many channels lol
@timothykirkpatrick3955
"unless you hate watched this whole thing, give it a like." - you got me there
@Banks4004
In our household it is now simply "watching a Simon"
@malkalopez1641
You know what I’d like to see? Simon bloopers! He says such complicated things very fast. I bed the bloopers are hilarious!
@redchic
Would love to hear about The lighthouse of Alexandria and the hanging gardens! The rice terraces are amazing.
@CH-zw7ti
Hanging gardens would be tremendous.
@paulmoore9626
I think a channel that takes everything we know about ancient wonders and puts it all together with CGI to do virtual 3D tours showing what we believe them to have looked like inside and out would be fascinating
@Goombasareawesome
Simon has more channels than the BBC at this point.
@ZEVM2
Would indeed like to see a video on the hanging gardens. Thank you for all your diligent efforts. Also the Kofun burial grounds in Japan could be an interesting subject.
@arturorivera1274
As a Guatemalan, thanks for mentioning Tikal... for Star Wars fans out there, you may recognize it as Yavin 4. I've been there many times and even camped there once (when there's a full moon, they let you enter the archeological site at night), and it was quite an experience
@RHCole
I definitely want to see more about Gobekli Tepe.
@hayreddinbarbarossa661
The monasteries of Meteora are absolutely phenomenal. Absolute isolation is almost an understatement. How the hell they originally managed to climb those cliffs to build is just mind blowing and the fact that the people who started building did so knowing the grand children would be the one to finish is impressive to say the least. Can highly recommend a visit on your travels.
@scottbyers9258
Would love a video on the Hanging Gardens. I know of them but not about them. A video going in to detail about them would be amazing!
@brianmsahin
We've been to many ancient sites but of this list we've only been to two, Göbekli Tepe and New Grange. Your video title is spot on. They're not talked about enough. Update on Göbekli Tepe. There are many more sites being discovered in the area and evidence of permanent settlement and agricultural practices are being discovered. It's a really fascinating place. Well worth visiting, the people are lovely and the Eastern Turkish cuisine is hot, spicy and delicious!!
@debbiekerr3989
This is the first time I've watched this channel, and I'm very impressed with the quality. Simon must not get very much sleep, because he's always making videos,
