In this episode we will explore the incredible ruins of Oaxaca's, Monte Alban! • Inhabited over a period of 1,500 years by a succession of peoples – Olmecs, Zapotecs and Mixtecs – the terraces, dams, canals, pyramids and artificial mounds of Monte Albán were literally carved out of the mountain and are the symbols of a sacred topography. The nearby city of Oaxaca, which is built on a grid pattern, is a good example of Spanish colonial town planning. The solidity and volume of the city's buildings show that they were adapted to the earthquake-prone region in which these architectural gems were constructed. • ---------------------------------------------------------------- • I N S T A G R A M: / jessicasavano • ------------------------------------------------------------------- • Where I get all my music for my videos: https://www.epidemicsound.com/referra... • (Sign up and get a 30 day free trial with that link!!) • ------------------------------------------------------------------- • Earn a $65 AIRBNB credit when you sign up using my link: https://www.airbnb.com/c/jsavano • ------------------------------------------------------------------- • email for business inquiries ONLY ↠ [email protected] • ------------------------------------------------------------------- • See the world through my eyes.
