Really nice video. An excavator, a chainsaw and materials. No consultants, no drawings just experience. Think what aid could have done, don't change people but let them be proud of what they can do.

Amazing old school work! No wonder most bridges built this way are still around. Excellent Video!

Pity the ancients didn't have excavators and tipper trucks to gather raw materials.

It's not old school, when they are using excavotors and electric pumps.

@Theodor857 27 күн бұрын

No, this is a shitty build, even with the modern equipment the old bridges were made and designed to a different level. The stones were carved to fit into each other. The stones for the arch were wedge-shaped and perfectly fitted together, designed so that the weight of the bridge makes it stronger.

Romans used slaves instead of excavators. Slaves were probably cheaper when bought, but were a lot slower. These romans from South-East Asian however did a great job.

There would already be 20 different inspectors in damn Russia. Who gave the construction permit, where did the equipment come from, where are the drawings and the bridge design, design loads, where are the documents (payment and receipts) for stone and sand, permission for logging and similar issues.

@christinaburney5935 4 ай бұрын

Great job. The only thing I would do differently is to use a key stone and not smash the stones in, and make the wall on top of the bridge higher. The key stone is shaped like a key so it will slip and still keep it's place if the bridge is failing, hopefully.

@gamewizard1760 3 ай бұрын

If that's the only thing you would do differently, then you are just as bad as they are. The title promised the use of ancient technology, but failed to deliver. This is fraud.

Loved the ancient gas-powered pump, excavator, dump trucks , chainsaw and bags of concrete mix!!! That explains how Roman and Medieval buildings and bridges are still standing! Alert the archaeologists! Kidding aside, this was a beautiful construction when they got done and I liked the lack of narration interspliced with all the views of surrounding nature.

shame the put concrete between the stones, if anything, that concrete's going to give this bridge a life span of less than 100 years. Given how extensive the foundation work was, they should've just laid bare stone, worked faces, but bare. Neat work regardless.

@jeansentrais9866 6 ай бұрын

@aserta : Don't worry to much 'cause the Antic Roman ingeneers used cement, of course a special kind of cement : CaOH + pouzzolane (microscopic powder of Al + Si oxyde, coming from volcano) ... pretty strong in permanent water. In fact, here, the cement has not to be a glue between the stones, it only has to fill the space between the stones. The archictural strategy is to use only the gravity, thus the heavy weight of the structure. That's why the "arc-en-plein-ceintre", typically antic roman ...

На сколько помню, блоки под арку выдалбливались из цельного камня или выливались под опалубку из полимерного бетона, под небольшим углом со с внешней на внутреннюю сторону, создавая таким образом своего рода замок от вываливания блока, имея такой замок, блоки под арку выставлялись без скрепляющего раствора и держаться веками.
