YOUTUBE IS ARBITRARILY REMOVING THE MONETIZATION ICON AND THE ABILITY TO APPLY MONETIZATION FROM SOME MY VIDEOS ON THE VIDEO MANAGER PAGE. CERTAIN VIDEOS ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO APPLY MONETIZATION TO THE VIDEO AND THE ICON HAS DISAPPEARED. THERE IS NO EXPLANATION FOR THIS AND I HAVE TESTED TO SEE IF IT IS A GLITCH BY REMOVING AND RE-UPLOADING THE SAME VIDEO. AFTER ABOUT ONE WEEK THE ICON DISAPPEARS WITH NO WORD OR EXPLANATION FROM YOUTUBE. IN SOME CASE THE VIDEO IS FROM FAMILY PRODUCED 16MM FILM WITH PROJECTOR SOUND TRACK. IN 3 CASE THERE IS A COMMON DENOMINATOR. ONE FILM IS FROM JAPAN AND TWO FROM KOREA. THESE 3 FILMS FROM ASIA WERE THE FIRST ONES ATTACKED BUT NOW THEY HAVE DONE THE SAME THING TO A FILM THAT WAS SHOT IN THE STATES. AND AGAIN WITH NO EXPLANATION. MY ONLY REMEDY IS TO DELETE THE OLD VIDEO AND UPLOAD A NEW VERSION. I REPEAT THIS EVERY TIME I NOTICE THE FILM IS NO LONGER BEING MONETIZED.

Copan Ruins, Honduras GoPro 1080p
Review of The Mayan Ruins of Copan (Copan Ruinas) excursion. Copan is an archaeological site of the Maya civilization in the Copan Department of western Honduras, not far from the border with Guatemala. It was the capital city of a major Classic period kingdom from the 5th to 9th centuries AD. The city was in the extreme southeast of the Mesoamerican cultural region, on the frontier with the Isthmo-Colombian cultural region, and was almost surrounded by non-Maya people. Copan was occupied for more than two thousand years, from the Early Pre-classic period to the Post-classic. The city developed a distinctive sculptural style within the tradition of the lowland Maya, perhaps to emphasize the Maya ethnicity of the city's rulers; Copan Ruins, Honduras 2019. Tour booked via Gray Line Guatemala. Shots were taken with GoPro Hero 7 Black 1080p HD.

Tea and Archaeology: Ancient Images in Contemporary Hopi Art
Most admirers of Hopi pottery have heard of Nampeyo and the Sikyatki Revival. Nampeyo and her descendants are not the only Hopi and Hopi-Tewa artists who reinterpret ancient imagery in many media. In this Tea and Archaeology presentation, Kelley Hays-Gilpin explores ancient, historic, and contemporary pottery, basketry, mural painting, and textiles to trace continuities and changes over a millennium of meaningful expression of Hopi values about family, communities, farming, and the natural environment.

2017 Rhind Lecture 5 Monastic Legacies: Memory and the Biography of Place
2017 Rhind Lecture 5 Monastic Legacies: Memory and the Biography of Place by Professor Roberta Gilchrist, University of Reading
Recorded at the National Museums Scotland Auditorium, Sunday 21st May 2pm.
Monasteries were active in creating ritual landscapes as imagined spaces, interweaving myth and hagiography with material practices to embody memory and the medieval sense of place. These meanings, in turn, were reworked as post-Reformation narratives which operated at local and national scales. This lecture introduces the theme of memory in the monastic landscape, before considering a case study of Glastonbury Abbey in detail.
Medieval churches and monasteries are key features of the British landscape, contributing to local identities and sense of place. Yet the relationship between heritage and medieval religion has received relatively little critical reflection. These lectures will place research on medieval beliefs within a wider framework of sacred heritage, reflecting on issues of value, authenticity and interpretation. Archaeological evidence for medieval beliefs will be explored in relation to regional identity, practices of magic and healing, memory and myth. The lectures develop chronologically from the 12th century to the use of archaeology today, with case studies focusing on Scottish monasticism and Glastonbury Abbey.
Roberta Gilchrist is Professor of Archaeology and Research Dean at the University of Reading. She has published extensively on the archaeology of medieval religion and belief and their intersection with gender, magic and the life course. She has published pioneering works on medieval nunneries (1994), hospitals (1995), burial practices (2005) and popular devotion (2012), and major studies on Glastonbury Abbey (2015) and Norwich Cathedral Close (2005). She is an elected Fellow of the British Academy, a trustee of Antiquity and former president of the Society for Medieval Archaeology. She was voted Current Archaeology’s ‘Archaeologist of the Year 2016’.

Momoyama Castle in Fushimi!
Fushimi Castle, also known as Momoyama Castle or Fushimi-Momoyama Castle. Fushimi Castle is located on a hill, in other words a hilltop castle, which is known in Japanese as a 'Teikakushiki'. Through numerous instances of being built, burned, and then rebuilt again -- even dismantled and scattered throughout Kyoto -- this modern replica was built in 1964 and stands today made of mostly concrete. Its history is long and complicated.
The very first version of the castle was built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi -- one of Japan's most famous historical characters -- in 1592, the year after his retirement from the regency. It took two years to build with a grand total of more than 20,000 workers from twenty provinces working on it, with many elaborate rooms, such as a tea ceremony room plated entirely in gold leaf. Though it looked like a Castle on the outside, it was really meant to be a retirement palace for Hideyoshi, and he had also planned to use it for peace talks with Chinese diplomats seeking an end to the Seven-year War in Korea. Through a stroke of bad luck, though, it was destroyed in an earthquake two years after its building.
Hideyoshi re-commissioned the Castle in 1597, 500 meters away from the original site; however, Hideyoshi died before he could see the second version completed and the Toyotomi clan moved to Osaka Castle in 1598. Thus, the castle came to be controlled by Torii Mototada, a vassal of Tokugawa Ieyasu and a vital figure in Japanese history.
In 1600, during a war when Japan had split into two factions -- the army of the East led by Tokugawa and the army of the West led by Mouri Terutomo -- Fushimi Castle went under siege by Ishida Mitsunari. In an act of bravery, Torii Mototada defended the Castle for eleven days, allowing time for his lord Tokunaga to amass an army which would tip the scales in his favor at the final Battle of Sekigahara. This Battle marked the final victory of Tokugawa Ieyasu over all his rivals. At the end of the eleven days, Torii and his men committed suicide and the castle was destroyed by fire.
The castle was soon reconstructed in 1602 under the order of Tokugawa Ieyasu. However, in 1619 a decision was made to dismantle the castle and incorporate its parts into temples all over Japan. Spectacularly, to this day you can see in several temples in Kyoto such as Yogen-in, Genko-an, and Hosen-in a blood-stained ceiling which was the floor of the corridor at Fushimi Castle where Torii Mototada committed suicide. Finally, in 1625, the castle was abandoned for what seemed to be for good.
In 1912 the tomb of Emperor Meiji was built on the original site of the castle, and in 1964 the final replica was completed. The castle had served as the museum of the life and campaigns of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but it was closed to the public in 2003.
