    I wanted to see the city in the thumbnail but knew it wouldn't be there. Clickbait classic.
  • @cmuchmore
    This was a very well produced vid. I really appreciated that it didn't have the blaring background music and computer generated narration.

    The first place shown is Craco, Italy but what they don't tell you here is that the main reason it was empty was the fault of the local authorities. A few years before everyone was forced to leave the town had new sewers installed and this upheaval of the ground is what caused the landslides, coupled with the fact that many newer building were not built into the rock and didn't have good foundations.

    I feel like normally it would be annoying to have inhabited cities included but it’s almost creepier than a completely abandoned city when you see a handful of cars driving through such huge metropolis’s. Turkmenistan’s capital was really fascinating!

    Abandoned: Having been deserted never to return. Proceeds to show cities still inhabited

    I've been to Bodie, CA, more than once and your explanation/description is spot-on. Good job, thank you!
  • Craco, Italy, looks a haunted place, spooky to be honest! No disrespect, because Italy is without a doubt one of the most beautiful countries in the world!

    "15 largest abandoned cities." Proceeds to show us several cities not at all abandoned.
  • "Thames town" is pronounced "Tems town" as in the Thames river (i.e. Tems river).

    The only speaker voice i can listen to out loud in public, without anyone actually hearing it

    I've read about abandoned cities yesterday and even months before, it so good to know more and more about them, even if these cities are abandoned they're still beautiful in their own ways

    Headline: ‘abandoned cities’ Content: small towns and islands
  • @minertrack5209
    Another city is next to Tzarevo, Bulgaria. It’s not finished but the build was stopped since the person who wanted to create this city arrested. And now we call it the dead city
  • I think you mixed two different Montserrat places, there’s a lot of the footage of up the hill Montserrat that is placed an hour train trip outside Barcelona

    I've been to Oradour. One of the most poingant things I've ever seen in my life. There is a memorial in the church, to the soldiers of the WW1, it is riddled with bullet holes and damage from WW2. That place has really stuck with me

    Can confirm, Bodie California (#2) was honestly really cool. It was so surreal seeing everything untouched in person.
