For part 2 we are examining the forts of the Banda Sea, of which we are told are built by the Portuguese, Dutch, and English. Also known as the spice islands, these European powerhouses battled over the control of nutmeg and other spices, decimating the Indonesian population in their wake. However I maintain that as always, not all is as it seems. I present more evidence in the form of historical, google earth, and photographic analysis that these structures and sites were found rather than built. Or in some cases we repaired what we could and added our less sophisticated structures. In this episode we look at Fort Victoria, Fort Amsterdam, Fort Duurstede, Fort Nassau, Fort Belgica, and Fort Revenge. I hope you enjoy and find it thought provoking !

Pic 8: AlejandrolLinaresGarcia Pic 9: AlejandrolLinaresGarciaA Google Earth Tour Of Forts In Indonesia Part 1 Ternate IslandThurt1eht2020-04-01 | #googleearth #ternate #ancienthistory #indonesia #starfort #history
Pulau Ternate (Ternate Island) is a mysterious island in Indonesia. One of the main Islands involved in the attempt by the Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, and British, to take of the trade of nutmeg. Often referred to as "the spice islands", the European invasion of Indonesia is very under-played, considering nearly 90% of the Indonesian population was wiped out over the course of centuries. Fortunately the strong Indonesian people survived and thrived, and we are now left with the fragmented history from which we can try to glean some truth. Once again it seems these fortifications including the star forts are either themselves ancient structures or built on top of an ancient site. Though history tells us the European fight in Indonesia was for the spice trade, I think there is sufficient evidence to show they were actually there to find and secure these ancient sites or structures. This seems to be the case for most star forts and other ancient sites, as many explorers who discover these sites have some sort of knowledge of what they are looking for and where to find it. This is just a theory of what happened here, but it would explain things a lot better than the official story ! There are a lot more pics and video of each of these places online and a lot more very interesting information like how Francisco married an Indonesian woman and refused to go back to Malacca when told to return. His crew became mercenaries on Ternate ! Lots more to learn about this island and ancient Indonesia, check it out !

I found this while making a tour of pyramids around the world and I had to share it right away ! It is quite literally a pyramid withing the walls of a star fort. Not a very complex star fort but a star fort nonetheless. This is a observational analysis of the google earth satellite images of this location, in the tour I will go in depth into the main stream history of this site. One of the oddest things about this site is a strange circular depression in the north west corner that remains for years and seems to get cleared off. The floor of this "hole" even looks metallic as if it's the door of a missile silo or something underground.

List of Chinese Pyramids Wiki en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_pyramidsMini Doc : Jerash, Jordan The city of a thousand columnsThurt1eht2020-03-06 | A closer look at the ancient ruins of Jerash in Jordan. What lies beneath the surface of this once great city? I was fortunate enough to visit this amazing historical site in 2019. The thing that stuck out most to me was that there might be even older ruins underground. Using Google Earth imagery as well as the original footage i shot, we explore the abandoned city. You will be shocked by the sheer number of columns still standing after at least 2,500 years. Not only is the architecture mind blowing, but the documented history behind Jerash is equally baffling. Who built it? Greeks? Romans? A lost civilization? An interesting part of Jerash's history is the connection between a former ruler and Jesus Christ. This former ruler would supposedly marry Mary Magdalene's sister, becoming Jesus's brother-in-law, and hid and protected a mysterious treasure in the Temple of Zeus. All that remains today is rubble and fragmented architecture, supposedly from centuries of war and natural disasters. I hope you enjoy this fresh perspective on one of the grandest cities of the Decapolis.

In honour of Black HIstory month February 2020....
Part 1 : The story behind the 2 largest forts built during the American Civil War is a strange and dark one. Potentially thousands of lives sacrificed, all in the name of building forts that would never be used. Mind blowing construction speed, secret meetings, and a chief engineer that was either a mad genius or a mass murderer, the history behind these forts is unbelievable. This mini doc is split into two parts. Part 1 focuses on the forts, their history and construction. Part 2 focuses on the career of the chief engineer behind the forts, James St. Clair Morton.

The size of the formation is what makes it so strange, and that it was made by only 3000 people in very little time. To top it all off, it was abandoned 4 years after it was made and well before it saw even 1 battle. So why and how did they do it ? Hope you enjoy our mini doc on "Barbed Lines, The Novo Zakamskya Redan Fortification".

I've known about Nan Madol for a long time but looking at it again after learning about Star Forts I realized that Nan Madol shares a lot of characteristics with a typical bastion of a Star Fort ! So cool ! Also for those who have seen my Prince Of Wales documentary I found a place named SLUIS !!! It's in Netherlands and it also has a star fort ! So I will be researching Sluis to see if there is any connection to Fort Prince of Wales. So what do you think? Do the ruins of Nan Madol look like a bastion? They do to me ! Looking forward to hearing what you think. Mini doc of Nan Madol coming soon !

These forts are amazing feats of engineering and construction. These structures share many similarities to ancients sites all over the world. Have a look at these breath-taking images from Google Earth. There are many theories about star forts, otherwise known as bastion forts, ranging from the official history to ancient energy stations. It's hard to believe the effort that went into building these forts only for them to be abandoned or never used in battle.

Gdansk is a beautiful city in Poland, one that is rich with history, and full of Star Fort structures ! The most interesting things I found doing this mini documentary are the large mounds or step pyramids found throughout Gdansk, as well as the possibility that we are being shown false maps of what Gdansk looked like in the past. I know that raised many more questions but it really seems to me to be the case. Have a look and let me know what you think in the comments.

Magazine Fort, Pheonix Park, Dublin, IrelandStrange Formations : The Nonagons Of ChurchillThurt1eht2019-05-16 | Another great audio track from bensound.com Location : Churchill, Manitoba, Canada I found something really strange while researching the Prince of Whales Star Fort ; two GIANT NONAGONS ! A nonagon is a 9 sided object, which are fairly uncommon even in ancient architecture. There is also a center line between them (I call them North and South Nonagons) that is made up of what seems to be 3 trenches or canals ? I saw the formation and found it strange, but it really hit me when I saw the center of the nonagons. Each center is made of three concentric layers of bushes, trees, or something else ? (from street view it looks like trees of various ages or stumps) With the precise numbers of 18, 9, and I'm guessing 6, 3 or 1 for the center unfortunately the resolution on Google Earth is not enough to see the center well enough yet. Also strange are these three dots formed around a center dot (that may be mini nonagon or hexagon) that is part of the main nonagons where each side and "arm" meet. To top it all off there is also a super strange looking antenna or tower (or something else!), a creepy looking abandoned building that seems to be built on top of something that was a part of this original formation, and something very weird about nonagons and churchill on the internet ! I know it all sounds absurd, just watch the video and hopefully you'll see what I mean ! Very much looking forward to hearing what your thoughts are on this.

Location : Berd, Novosibirsk Oblast, Russia
Some of the old world stuff is too big to hide ! I found a very odd shoreline while browsing Google Earth. For lack of another way to identify it, I call it a crown as that is what the formation reminds me of, but I do not believe that's what it represented necessarily. The points remind me of some of the points I have seen on certain star forts and if I can find the rights ones I'll make another video with a side by side comparison. I'm not sure what exactly this is but I don't believe it is natural. What do you think ? Please leave your thoughts in the comment section !

Just as the title suggests, the history of Naarden is an incredible collection of events ranging from massacres by cannibals to a massive drug trafficking ring. The construction involved with this Star Fort is quite unbelievable (wink wink), and absolutely beautiful when viewed from above. It is highly recommended to explore this area on Google Earth as there are many more Star Forts and other anomalies !
