Earthquake and Byzantine chapel

Another fantastic video of tough love education! Could watch these all day along!

Yes Physics are wonderfull. Good mortar made with vulcanic ashes is superb. It can heal itself.

[@benjaminacuna8013]

I love your work, and the passion you put into the content. Your tone is sharp and fab

[@StephanGaeth]

I LOVE your art/history videos but DIE to see you go off on these. You're brilliant!!!

[@weirdhousewivesclub]

Again, I bring up the Forbidden City, along one of the most seismic areas of the world, built of wood slotted together and with no piers into the ground. Still standing, still beautiful. People refuse to be proven wrong.

I love metal and its uses as much as the next person, but i know and appreciate the many architecture around the world that doesn't rely on it to work properly. Metal is a fairly recent material, rock and stone was the number one material before and it has lasted to this very day

[@artlust_]

Exactly

[@christiecrispie8351]

I feel like some of them just like when a pretty lady womansplains to them 😂

[@zeusathena26]

People don't understand the strength of an arch.

[@Daihatsu_Hijet]

😮😮😮these guys won’t give up…we need young people to get involved in the trades again. 😢

[@hilariousbenjamin5614]

Wait until they learn about the Pantheon's dome🤣 Not a single piece of metal in that bad boy🤣 No but seriously, I live in an earthquake prone zone and literally one of the first things I was taught was to take cover under an arch if you're near one when an earthquake strikes, what's these people's problem with arches and physics lol

[@imintheraindripdripdrop]

Spirals and arches for the win!

[@artosbear]

Ah, the arch of time: artlust posts a video, and people show their asses. Artlust explains why theyre wrong, and then we can all be amused

The smartest person i know once said she 'loved intellectually demolishing [rich] people'

[@Yellowc0ld]

It’s crazy how many times you have to repeat yourself and they still don’t get it 🫠

[@ApolloandMuse]

Why do they keep arguing with you 😂

[@meganmarts5769]

There are different types of strength. You don't want things to be stiff and rigid in a hurricane or earthquake

[@onlys9068]

It may surprise them that the taller a building is, the more it needs to be engineered to allow for swaying....

[@suspendeddisbelief786]

If only they'd go inquire for themselves since they clearly refuse to understand what you were commenting on in that video. They haven't even gone to look at the full version of the video; there is such a lack of honest curiosity on their part (courage too). All their stupid comments would be negated if they did some reading and watch the original creator; which is maybe why they don't.

[@derfriede]

I mean, i was definitely astounded by the brick masonry video, and couldn't fathom how it worked, but why do people take the next step, and think that because they can't explain it means it can't be right? I guess maybe some implicit bias was involved since the mason was latino right? Otherwise i don't understand. There is definitely crazier architecture out there. Edit: i just looked him up. He is spanish not latino, but i assume that distinction doesn't matter if there is a racial bias going on.

[@suspendeddisbelief786]

I think it's more to do with her presenting the video. They seem to have problems understanding, accepting, and/or learning from her.

[@tommygamba170]

The same 15 inspectors how we think the pyramids were made by aliens. Because they're so smart no one else could be as smart as they are

[@abbacadaver]

This just blows my mind. Does he just think all these old buildings are fake or never had to deal with natural disasters? Which one?

[@artlust_]

I have truly no idea

[@Blaublahblue]

Isn't that the same principle that uses arches to hold gigantic, 1000 year-old cathedrals, carrying towers with giant metal bells of several tons?

[@jaimedavis439]

these are bricks face to face, those were bricks end to end. they are not the same. vertical vs horizontal
