  2. I've been to Fort Pickens and several places in St. Augustine back in grade school. I was allowed to touch the prison bars Geronimo supposedly bent in order to escape. They were in fact bent. We visited a lot of places during that field trip, I just can't remember names.

  13. India is full of one amazing fort after another and glad to see so many highlighted here. Two other Indian forts worth mention that I've seen are Kumbhalgarh near Udaipur, Rajasthan and Daulatabad in Aurangabad, Mahrasthra. Kumbhalgarh features the second longest intact course of a wall, which is only superseded by China's Great Wall. Kumbhalgarh's keep is perched high atop a steep hilltop. Daulatabad is a hill-made-fort with a moat wholly excavated from solid granite. Knowing how workers shaved off the side of the hill and went deep into the earth is extraordinary. Also the fort features a maze of stairways and hallways hewn inside the rock that lead atop to the keep.

  19. Hi Mike, surprised that the fortress built in what is now Istanbul around 1450 wasn't mentioned. Please forgive my butchering of the name, but I think it's Roumalar Hissari. It was built opposite the walls of Constantinople shortly before the siege of 1453, which ended the Roman empire of the east. It was primarily an artillery emplacement designed to supplement the other giant cannons which were instrumental in taking the city. It still stands.

  22. Couple of notes missed about Edinburgh Castle it is home to the Edinburgh Tattoo, an amazing museum of medieval suits of armor and last and most important it was built on an extinct volcano

  26. To prove that I pay attention to the entire duration of all these videos: "So, have you ever been to any of these forts? If not, well…which ones HAVE you been to?" ???? Huh? Please explain this double question that causes the second question to ignore the answer to the first.🤣🤣🤣 BTW: I only pay this kind of detailed attention to videos I like. Keep up the great work!
