I read an article in Reader's Digest that in the '60's or 70's Rome was trying to fix a trouble they were having with the current city's sewer system. They tried shutting it down several ways, but were not successful, so they decided to find out why they couldn't do so. When discovered, it was realized that though it was never recorded on the maps or records, they were using a portion of the sewers built during the Empire.

The reason the Dark Ages are called the Dark Ages was due to the loss of large public works projects, particularly sanitation systems. While there was some effort to upkeep existing systems, oftentimes when they broke there was no one left with the knowledge, resources, or money to repair them. There was a major regress in the average standard of living in the cities as a result.

actually it's because there are near to no records hence the period is dark, same goes for nearly all other dark ages in history. The fact these periods are comparatively less enlightened is a topic on its own, and this interpretation of the term dark ages actually caused a lot of 'backlash' a few years back with many people going about wanting to change the term or stop using it because people still did remarkable stuff, which is true, but it's also not why they are called dark ages xD

Neat idea, but there’s no evidence for that history. Its attested use dates back only to around the 1500s, a long time ago but well after the Roman period, and in the oldest usages the word is “staff” rather than “stick,” suggesting something longer than the Romans’ sponge sticks. The most likely etymology is that the idiom is a reference to a master beating a servant; i.e., to get the wrong end of the stick is to be on the receiving end of a beating. Some have interpreted it as instead a reference to accidentally grabbing the dirty (and sometimes sharp) end of a walking stick.

My grandparents didn't have an indoor bathroom til 1978. There was only the outhouse outside and a bath tub on the front porch. To take baths, grandma would fill the bathtub up with water heated on the stove. I'd go first, then more hot water was added for my sis, then more hot water for my brother. Nope, the water wasn't drained and refilled, just added too. It was drained when all 3 of us had our baths. The outhouse was tricky as you needed to watch out for bats and creepy crawlies, especially at night. We spent every summer at the farm til '78 when g-ma moved to town. I was 7 at the time.

In the video you only said the word "Thermae" but didn't expand the concept. Thermae (ae is a dictong) we're built in volcanic areas which are common in Italy. In the Phlegrean Fields (Fields of Fire), close to Naples, there are Baia Thermae which are an engineering wonder in themselves. Getting the warm water from the underlying volcano, the flow was diverted to dozens of rooms which were frequented by the Roman patricians, both for health and leisure reasons. The Thermae have been active for the following centuries, until the volcanic activity receded; the Baia Thermae were still mentioned by the Italian poet Petrarca in 1300. The Thermae had small temples to the Roman Gods inside; in Baia the statue of Mercury is prominent at the entrance. Thanks for the video.

Home to magnificent architectural feats that still inspire today, this little known place is sure to inspire. A rich and fascination history that has withstood the test of time. From bloodshed, gold, and exotic tales of life in the old city, it’s a perfect choice for a look at pre-Hispanic American culture.

Thank you for making this with due credit given to the innovative Romans. Lets not forget they produced these massive engineering feats while using the opportunity to ALSO bring beauty to the masses. Nothing was done without an aesthetic sense and effort to improve citizens lives with beauty as well as convenience. .so lacking in much of today's industrial design. As the role model city of todays megaopolis', the world should help protect the remains of Roma's examples..through global financial support and by encouraging civic engineers and architecture students to study in Roma. Why try to reinvent the wheel when there were great foundations already thought out.

Most people know how the Internet was invented. It is taught in school and many aspects of it is talked about, displayed throughout movies and television, it is pretty much a common understanding even if they dont know or remember the exact facts of the stages it went through to become what it is today. Imagine how it will be in 5, 10, 25 and 50 years. Consider that I address were designed to support up to 4 billion devices and they never thought we would run out but now we are so IPV6 was invented to fix that problem and we havent even really started using the very tip of IPV6 technology yet, but it is coming just as 5G is starting and it was never thought possible to send that much data. Technology is amazing and the history of it is pretty interesting to study. There is famous quote from 1899 from the patent office that said "Everything that can be invented has been" - now imagine how stupid that sounds today and everything that was invented between 1900-2020. History is very fascinating if you take the time to really explore and learn the details surrounding the facts.

You check out his podcast channel? It started a while before MP, but after BB yet it hasn't taken off like either. Last I checked it was a bit under like 3k subs. Longer videos (there is a separate set of 'highlights' though that has shorter cuts of the specific topics) and not the same energy as BB, but definitely still entertaining, especially if you enjoy Simon's many other channels. You may have already, I've just been trying to put the word out in his other channel; I think it's good content and I don't want it to die out.

@@RedHeadForester Pre-Empire Yes but read many texts once they started having Emperors/Ceasers the quality of infrastructure dropped dramatically as that tax money went into funding wars (like paying troops, making weapons, training horses and men, building carts and forts!) and on the many Ceasers pet Projects like the Circus Maximus, The Colosseum and the Games, Haydrens Wall, Caligula's Twin Giant Ships, Nero's Palace as such it was left to the senators, merchants and other men of means to fund the ongoing city maintenance across the empire out of their own pockets and you can guess how many did that and for those that did often did not donate much more then token amounts!!! With so many men going to war a lot died in battle or from wounds days later and many who survived where crippled this left fewer educated and able men to work the land and sell goods at market this meant even more slave labour was needed to keep people fed so fewer slaves where available to work on public projects like Sewers, Baths, Roads, Walls, Waterways so many systems fell into total disrepair or if lucky had only temporary fixes applied to keep it working for now! This is why later the capital was moved to Constantinople a newly built and fully maintained city Rome was left to rot but would later become the Western Roman Empire and while the city was fixed up a bit was never fully restored and never even came close to the population it use to have , while the Eastern Roman Empire Thrived right up until the Muslim Attack and Conquest nearly a thousand years later to create the Ottoman Empire!!

I'm pleased to see this; be it as old as Roman, Cretan, or Aztec sewers, or impressive as raising the entirety of Chicago five feet up on jacks, the world's Sanitation works and movements are one of the best, and least appreciated great structures of the world in any age. Much ink and bandwidth has been spilled over the import of exploration, governance, food, industry, and war but it strikes me that properly dealing with not only how we get the things we use, but also how we treat the many forms of society's waste, is one of the formative moments of a great society because that is when we truly begin to manage the side effects of the ways in which we live and, with that, manage environment in which we make our lives as a whole.

Ancient engineering is a bigger marvel than any tech we now invent. I've spent few years as archaeologist doing research on it. One of the most interesting topics is why Roman sanitation didn't survive and thrive in Europe after the fall of Roman Empire, only to resurface Millenia later. Romans were cleaner and had better access to toilets & bath than court of Louis the XIV or Victorians! The whole idea of aqueduct and water system was more advances than what most cities had in 19th cent. Thanks for covering it - plenty of people are oblivious to it!
