Build stone arch bridges with ancient technology

[@YerluvinunclePete]

That dog did a great job of supervising. The project ran beautifully.!

[@vollkrassmann858]

Yes, indeed

[@mr.frederickson329]

Very brilliant and beautiful, but that ancient technological hydraulic lift was my favorite medieval tool that you used.

[@larsbkurin1740]

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.

[@angelagreen778]

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

[@gusgone4527]

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

[@torkelwits1990]

This is not old school.

[@gamewizard1760]

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

[@Theodor857]

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.

[@VINTERIUM..EXPLORIUM.1]

👍

[@scottrhoades9056]

Yes, I did like the ancient technology with the modern tools and methods. Skilled craftsmen at work.

[@gerardhogan3]

Greetings from Australia. What beautiful country and what a beautiful bridge. You have done a very good job. That is a good looking dog you have.

[@vollkrassmann858]

An amazing movie...Thanks for uploading...so much harmony in the working process and the surrounding impressions from helpful and skillful people, music, dog, chicken, geese, fruit-trees, clouds, eagles... I would like to see mankinds future and labour environment a bit like this...🙏

[@auscross1859]

Hardworking talented people thank you for showing us your skills - from Australia

[@marinoceccotti9155]

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.

[@gamewizard1760]

They still aren't using ancient technology, so the video title is fraud.

[@aaronvallejo8220]

I could look at a beautiful round arch for hours in wonder and awe. To build one is one of my life goals. Absolutely gorgeous...holding up the world 🌎. Great work!

[@johnparkhurst825]

The music is ok but I'd much rather hear the ringig of chains , the excavators diesel engine, and all the other noises associated with this construction

[@ronm3245]

It's like the soundtrack to Ken Burns' "The Civil War." Maybe over on their other channel!

[@dougieranger]

Not played at high speed though.

[@bernardsicard1991]

Bravo Messieurs, c'est vous qui méritez la médaille d'or de la construction. 👍👍👍

[@rocketsland9539]

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.

[@JankoWalski-uo2br]

Bardzo dobra robota . Taki most postoi kolejne 100 lat . 👍👍👍

[@greenspiritarts]

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.

[@dionpeek4339]

That is a lot of work. And worth it and something to be proud of!😀

[@geraldmiller5260]

Installing a thumb on the equipment would help grasping stones.

[@hatedcritic8066]

You have to admire the old guy's fearlessness being at the bottom of a pit with heavy machinery and huge rocks above him. I have never seen a large mechanical scoop used like a shovel to mix concrete before.

[@4godadddygo]

Love the music reminds me of North Carolina mountain music

[@8ank3r]

Yeah, I heard the romans used a lot of excavators.

[@jfv65]

Yes, those roman excavators were probably slaves. Cheap!

[@ZulhamEfendi]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Wolfyjinny]

One famous slave they used was an Irish navvy called Kat O'Pillar

[@labrana6974]

Portland cement, excavators and electric pumps: certified ANCIENT.

[@SunRabbit]

Romans had both pumps and excavators called "slaves." In China they call them "political prisoners."

[@robertporter6507]

I'd use the excavator to pull the forms out. 😊

[@YerluvinunclePete]

I want one of those straw hard hats!

[@lesliewelch6551]

First time I saw a digger in ancient tech, must have missed that when I was taught history, also ready mixed concrete, chainsaws etc, wonders of modern world tools.

[@karl7383]

Love the ancient jcb & truck!

[@Killianwsh]

"with ancient technology" LOL! Don't mind the EXCAVATOR!!! 🤣😂

[@christinaburney5935]

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]

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.

[@aserta]

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.

[@shazzorama]

Great…NOW you tell them.😂

[@itsamemario8014]

Looks like we got a Master Stone Mason making comments here, one who obviously has worked on all the major Cathedrals throughout Europe.

[@PristineTX]

In Asia, there are lyme mortar and stone structures still standing, that date from the early Ming Dynasty, about 900 years ago.

[@mircomaker5.0.faidate7]

I ROMANI utilizzavano il calcestruzzo già 2500 anni fa . E le loro costruzioni sono ancora in piedi

[@jeansentrais9866]

@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 ...

[@spuds6423]

Shouldn't those walls be fortified with sheeting and/or trench box so it won't engulf the worker ..a hard hat might be a good idea as well!!! Hey, where's the erosion control materials as well???

[@allanegleston4931]

liked the dog, the music and esp the vid. like.

[@edsoninacio3846]

Ironia não tem ética.......

[@roelitogawilan5854]

Perhaps, I reckoned the bridge structural design was the ancient technology not the modern equipment being used in the construction.😂😮😅😊

[@user-Igor_Rozener]

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.

[@ruppert5134]

Should have left the wooden construction pieces intact devided in de few seprate pieces to use them for other bridge projects or for multiple arches in one bridge.... It would save a lot on money later but kost a little extra in the beginning...

Вот смотрю это видео и понимаю, что тысячи лет назад точно такой же мост был бы очень красив, был бы сделан из хорошо подогнанных камней. Мало того, в нём не было бы ни грамма цемента. В древности, вот за этот мост - всех рабочих бы повесили. Люди разучились работать с камнем.

[@Lifehackerys]

В древности всё нынешнее население стало бы жуткими колдунами, ведьмами и еретиками, подлежащими самым изощрённым пыткам без права помилования) А мост, судя по траффику не окупился бы никогда, став памятником местному горделивому старосте. Гранит не так просто обрабатывать, к сведению. Даже сейчас сооружения из него весьма дороги и трудоёмки в постройке.

[@MsValentino2]

@@Lifehackerys Глупости. Мы живём в 21 веке. Доступ к информации такой, какого не было никогда у человечества. Это всё, позволяет нам увидеть то, что было тысячи лет назад. Масштаб каменного строительства был чудовищно развит. Остатки старых построек дошли до наших дней. Мало того, видно, что строили не чуть не меньше, чем строим сейчас мы. Строили в большей части именно из камня, и всё у них окупалось. То что строили наши далёкие предки, простояло тысячи лет. Даже прошедшая катастрофа, уничтожившая почти всё, не смогла стереть следы былого великолепия. А что строят сегодня? Все бетонные постройки имеют не такой уж и большой срок службы. Всего 80-100 лет, и бетон деградирует, а в холодном климате бетон живёт 70 лет. ТО что сохранилось от наших предков - до сих пор восхищает красотой и мастерством. А сейчас мастеров почти нет, одни подмастерья и разнорабочие.

@@Bugulab Самое смешное тут то, что с этой задачей справится практически любой человек. Главное заранее запастись большим количеством бамбуковых палок, чтобы бить по кривым ручкам нерадивых строителей. А для скорости и ума, долбить их по задницам. И поверьте, волшебным образом, эти криворукие бракоделы - со временем станут мастерами. И больше не будут строить эту порнографию. Вся проблема - в человеческой лени! Человек всегда ленив! Всегда!
