    Like the way the walls burst forth in the style of Dark City. Also, a nice touch in the music of adding chanting when the chapel was added.

    I really like to see old history like this, old architecture, and the great medieval feeling of it all. I think this is some of the greatest content on this platform, keep it up!

    Slowing down playback speed to .75 makes for more pleasant viewing and reading.

    The construction techniques of the time are astounding! Very educational. Thank you!
  • Wonderful We can only dream as a nation of being able to build something like this today
  • @gkmacbeth8225
    There was no 3rd floor in the White Tower until around 1490. The roof line shown is therefore incorrect.
  • Woow!! I really like this video 😉👍. That seems to be very interesting thing to be watching every time..

    Why do I like the London of 1200 way more than than the London of 2024 😅 stunning 🤩

    Oh wow! I liked the way of how the towers emerged from the ground, later the walls deconstructed and rebuilt. I always wonder, how on earth did they had the perseverance to build it. Just imagine, that a farmer went out to give food to his herd of calves, later on the field turned into a wall or a fortification, which was deconstructed, rebuilt, deconstructed and so on. This literarly blows my mind. I remember that I even had the chance of visiting the tower in 2015. I was like 14 years old at that time. I was amazed by the architecture back then.
  • ur missing the cage w the 7 ravens, it’s an old super natural thing that if there was ever less than 7 ravens the entire castle would collapse and they still have the ravens to this day.

    This is fantastic! What is the dramatic music please?

    Honestly, I'd love to know more about what we know of Roman London. Like, I recall the story of there being a big basilica of black marble where the tower of London is now.
